Chapter 890 - 883: If I Can't Do It, You're Even Worse
Hearing that Ling Zhuzhen was actually an eighth-step Taoist Ancestor, both Feng Pu and Yi Qi Taoist Ancestor felt a chill on their scalps.
Although they now consider themselves Taoist Ancestors and control a world, they still had some self-awareness.
Everyone knew that in the Great Universe they controlled, a more powerful cultivation civilization had appeared before the Calamity.
In that cultivation civilization, there were a dozen or twenty people at the eighth step.
But in the current Great Universe, the seventh step was already the limit, and no one could advance to the eighth step.
This was not due to their aptitude, as all seventh-step Taoist Ancestors were very clear that the seventh step was the limit in this universe, and they could not advance to the eighth step.
This was restricted by the Heaven and Earth Rules of the newly evolved Great Universe.
Ling Zhuzhen's tone was calm: "After experiencing the Cosmic Calamity and watching the Great Universe we once lived in annihilate right under my nose, I realized..."
Ling Zhuzhen's tone paused, and both Feng Pu and Yi Qi looked at Ling Zhuzhen nervously.
"...that the eighth step I reached was merely the eighth step within this cosmic world, and not the same concept as the true vast Great Dao eighth step.
Although my Great Dao eighth step is not a false eighth step, it cannot be considered the true Great Dao eighth step. If I were to step out of this universe and face true eighth-step experts, I would probably only be suffering a beating.
Of course, whether there truly is a Great Dao eighth step, I do not know. I only sensed the possible existence of such a Dao from the Cosmic Calamity."
Feng Pu and Yi Qi Taoist Ancestor felt even more uneasy.
If Ling Zhuzhen's eighth step was not a true Great Dao eighth step, then what about them?
Fortunately, Ling Zhuzhen did not let them wait long before he continued: "You are different. Your seventh step is significantly different from the seventh step of the Great Universe before the Calamity."
Hearing this, Feng Pu and Yi Qi Taoist Ancestor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, their seventh-step Dao was considered a true seventh step, maybe the Heaven and Earth Rules of the newly evolved Great Universe were more perfected after the Cosmic Calamity?
No, if that were the case, why could Ling Zhuzhen, who hadn't yet recovered to the eighth step of a Saint yet, oppose Qingsha Taoist Ancestor?
Ling Zhuzhen's voice continued to float over:
"The Great Dao you confirmed at the seventh step is at most equivalent to the fourth step or fifth step of the Great Dao before the Cosmic Calamity.
You simply have not comprehended the essence of the true seventh step of the Great Dao, nor do you understand what the true seventh step of the Great Dao is.
Of course, now I know I also do not understand what the true seventh step of the Great Dao is, but my seventh step is still far superior to yours."
Ling Zhuzhen's words exploded like an ice thunder in the hearts of Feng Pu and Yi Qi Taoist Ancestor, making both of them feel icy cold all over.
They did not doubt Ling Zhuzhen's words, because Ding Huan, without stepping into the fourth step of the Great Dao, could kill Purple River Taoist Ancestor. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel※fire.net
Ling Zhuzhen could match the seventh step Qingsha Taoist Ancestor with his fifth step of the Great Dao; the reason he needed Ding Huan's help was not that Ling Zhuzhen was incapable, but because his Magical Treasure was suppressed by the opponent's Magical Treasure.
No wonder Ding Huan said earlier they weren't qualified to be Taoist Ancestors.
It turns out that now they were all clowns.
Great Dao fourth step, seeking to become a Taoist Ancestor, what else are they but clowns?
Ling Zhuzhen continued:
"My intention in saying this is not to mock you, but to tell you a fact.
If the Tian Meng Clan really wanted to wipe out the Great Universe's Human Tribe cultivators, they would have done it effortlessly long ago, they wouldn't have waited until today."
"Why?" Feng Pu couldn't help but ask.
Ling Zhuzhen sighed: "One can only say that the Calamity favored the Tian Meng Clan; after the Calamity, for the Great Universe Human Clan cultivators, apart from those who fled, probably few survived.
After all, the Great Universe disappeared, who could survive?
And the Tian Meng Clan seemed to use a Star Land that wasn't destroyed by the Calamity to preserve a considerable number of Tian Meng Clan powerhouses.
These powerhouses, not to mention those at the eighth step, even those at the seventh or sixth step could alone wipe out the entire Great Universe's Human Clan cultivators."
"Elder Ling, are you implying that during the Tian Meng Clan and Human Tribe's contention for the Ten Thousand Dao Abyss, the Tian Meng Clan powerhouses didn't appear because the Human Tribe was already at a disadvantage?"
Yi Qi Taoist Ancestor couldn't resist asking.
Ling Zhuzhen nodded, his tone affirmative: "Exactly. Since the Tian Meng Clan's stronghold was not completely destroyed in the Cosmic Calamity, there must be powerhouses that survived.
Those powerhouses are likely recovering their strength, and the Dao Veins of the Heavenly Dao Mountain Range are the source of their recovery.
In the battle for Ten Thousand Dao Abyss, the Human Tribe fell back in defeat, so there was no need for them to come out. One reason was to temper the Tian Meng Clan cultivators, another was to seize time to heal."
"These Tian Meng abnormals actually regarded Human Tribe cultivators as training objects?"
Feng Pu felt extremely dissatisfied inwardly, but recalling his injuries and what Ling Zhuzhen had said about his seventh step being equivalent to merely a fifth step, he fell silent again.
"That's probably how it is." Ding Huan took the initiative to speak.
His thoughts aligned with Ling Zhuzhen.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent and oppressive.
"Mr. Ding, Elder Ling, what should we do now?" Yi Qi Taoist Ancestor stood up and cupped his hands.
If this was the case, then the Human Tribe would sooner or later be wiped out by the Tian Meng Clan.
Ling Zhuzhen had no good solution and could only look at Ding Huan.
His current strength had weakened considerably, and to be honest, even achieving the fifth step of the Great Dao was reluctant, let alone dealing with those surviving strong forces of the Tian Meng Clan.
Ding Huan's tone was very calm: "In the face of absolute strength, all scheming is meaningless. The fact that the Tian Meng Clan hasn't yet attacked Dao City can only mean one thing."
"What?"
Feng Pu asked urgently, and several people simultaneously looked at Ding Huan.
Ding Huan said, "It only shows that their strong ones still need more Dao Veins and time to recover their strength. So they forcibly occupied the Heavenly Dao Mountain Range and drove away the Human Tribe cultivators."
"What should we do then?" Yi Qi Taoshi looked at Ding Huan with the same expectation.
What if Ding Huan's guess is correct? If there's no way to stop it, they can only wait for death.
Otherwise, they can only withdraw from the Great Universe and stay far away from here.
But after so many years of searching, this position seems to have only this higher Universe, the Great Universe.
Leaving the Great Universe will only make their strength weaker and weaker.
"We shall take Ten Thousand Dao City as our foundation, establish ourselves here, and then we also go searching for Dao Veins. Only by enhancing our strength can we confront the Tian Meng Clan, otherwise, it's meaningless."
Ding Huan said this as he had already made up his mind.
He must perfect his own Cosmic World, then prove the fourth step of the Dao that belongs only to himself.
As for Ling Zhuzhen, just hope he can quickly recover to the eighth step of the Great Dao.
No matter whether this eighth step is true or false.
When Ling Zhuzhen recovers to the eighth step of the Great Dao, at least he can deal with these guys from the Tian Meng Clan.
Of course, the premise is that there's no strong one surviving from the eighth step of the Tian Meng Clan's Great Dao.
Upon hearing Ding Huan only spoke about enhancing strength, both Feng Pu and Yi Qi Taoshi fell into silence.
Where could they enhance in such a short time?
Just a matter of slightly extending the time before being killed.
Ding Huan didn't know Feng Pu and Yi Qi Taoshi's thoughts; his eyes turned to them: "What kind of injuries did you suffer?"
Feng Pu sighed: "My Tao Foundation is damaged, and Dao Veins are not much of use to me now, healing requires time to accumulate."
Yi Qi Taoshi nodded: "Same for me, my Tao Foundation is damaged."
If it weren't for the damage to their Tao Foundation, their injuries wouldn't have dragged on for so many years.
"Daoist Feng Pu, if you trust me, let me have a look," Ding Huan said.
If it were other injuries, perhaps he would find some trouble in treating them, but Ding Huan believed he could still heal them.
Before his cultivation, he had perfected his healing gene, and later in his cultivation of the Great Universe Technique, he turned this genetic talent into his Great Dao Law.
As for the injury of the Tao Foundation, isn't it just the fragmentation of Great Dao Law or issues with the Dao Principle?
His Great Universe Technique integrated billions of laws, even if there's any Great Dao Law he hasn't encountered, he could integrate and derive a new law in the shortest time.
His Great Cutting Technique came about this way.
Not only that, his Chaos Law Sea was also developed in this way.
Otherwise, he wouldn't qualify to perfect the laws of his own Cosmic World without using the external Cosmic World to prove the Dao in the fourth step.
"Mr. Ding?" Feng Pu looked at Ding Huan in surprise.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Ding Huan.
It's just that each person's Great Dao is different.
The Dao Laws that construct one's own Great Dao are different, and the Tao Foundation Laws are even more different.
Even if Ding Huan has the cultivation to the eighth step of the Great Dao, how could he repair their Tao Foundations?
Moreover, even if Ding Huan could save Feng Pu, he might not be able to save Yi Qi.
Because they cultivated different Great Dao, and the Dao Rhythm Laws that construct their own Tao Foundation are entirely different.
Is there anyone proficient and understanding of billions of Dao Laws in the vast universe?
Ling Zhuzhen smiled: "I think trusting Brother Ding Huan wouldn't be a mistake, of course, this is just my suggestion."
What a joke, is there a Tao Foundation that Ding Huan can't perfect?
Back then when Ding Huan saved him from chaos, let alone this trifling Tao Foundation repair.
Why he believes in Ding Huan is because Ding Huan has the potential to prove the fourth step of the Dao without relying on this Cosmic World.
Once Ding Huan proves the fourth step, he can ask Ding Huan what the true fourth step of the Dao is.
When necessary, he's willing to cut off his own Dao and reprove the fourth step.
Feng Pu gritted his teeth, he's already fallen into such a miserable state, what is there to worry about?
"Mr. Ding, just help me heal. Even if the Tao Foundation completely collapses and the Great Dao is thrown into chaos, it's my own issue." Feng Pu stepped in front of Ding Huan.
The reason he said this is that he knows well that repairing the Tao Foundation is not ordinary healing.
If anything goes wrong, his Great Dao could disperse, leading to death.
Now the Tian Meng Clan is pounding on the door; whether he hesitates or not, he will likely end up dead.
So, it's better to gamble.
Ding Huan speechlessly looked at Feng Pu, it seemed like he was taking some big advantage.
(Good night, Daoist!)
