Chapter 394 - 394 One Year Later
394 One Year Later
The other Dao heart realm cultivator was silent for a long time, before finally saying, “If I had not tried my best to catch up to Yuchi, I would have said that such a thing was impossible.”
“After all, you and I have both felt the power of the Heavenly King seal previously. Like you, I was defeated and subdued in an instant. I didn’t even have the chance to see its true appearance.”
Hearing what his companion said, the Dao heart realm cultivator who asked the question nodded his head seriously. He also agreed with this person’s statement.
The Heavenly King seal was too powerful. They had only encountered it once…
When the Heavenly King seal asked them to kneel down, they did. In the end, the Heavenly King seal did not kill them. Instead, it seemed satisfied with their submission and let them go.
In this case, how could someone with a Dao heart realm absorb the Heavenly King seal directly after only meeting it once?
This was something that he would never believe.
“However, I now seriously suspect that Yuchi will really absorb the Heavenly King seal this time. After all, Yuchi is the first person I’ve seen who has passed all 333 altars so easily. His speed is simply miraculous!”
“Given that he’s been up against the Heavenly King seal for so long now, it can be seen that they are at least equally matched. As such, it’s not too farfetched to say that he actually might absorb and subdue the Heavenly King seal.”
After he finished, he turned silent and sighed deeply.
“To be honest, if my state of mind was as good as before, I would definitely choose to rush over to the 333rd altar and kill the inner demon there. Then, I would kill Yuchi while he is busy absorbing the Heavenly King seal.”
“However, I can’t even reach the 333rd altar, and have lost all will to fight. In all likelihood, if you and I go up against Yuchi now, we’ll probably be killed without being able to fight back.”
The other person let out a heavy sigh after hearing that.
His eyes were also looking at the 333rd altar above him. It seemed so close, yet was like an unbridgeable chasm.
“You’re actually fine. Your Dao heart is ‘peace-type’, but my Dao heart is ‘fighting-type’.”
“This battle Daoheart of mine shouldn’t have felt so much fear.”
The two of them sighed heavily.
In the next few dozen days, they did not speak again.
Both of them chose to adjust their mentality to avoid their Dao hearts from wavering and their strength becoming stagnant.
After a year had passed, they headed back.
On the way back, they saw the other half-step Dao heart realm cultivators.
They exchanged a simple glance.
They could already determine that these two Dao heart realm cultivators had not absorbed and subdued the Heavenly King seal.
As for where Yuchi was at this time…
They did not dare to ask too much and simply tagged along quietly as they left the sea heart.
..
At the edge of the primordial sea, at the outpost.
The next group was already preparing to go to the sea heart.
Under normal circumstances, no one would expect the sea heart to be absorbed. Everything here progressed like clockwork.
“They’re already out. Everyone, pack up. We’ll be heading to the sea heart soon. Remember, we’ll be there for a year.”
The outpost was bustling with activity.
The weakest person in this place was at least a first-grade Dao essence realm cultivator.
First-grade Dao essence realm cultivators were invincible in other places, but at this small outpost, they were commonplace.
Just as these people were about to start their journey to the sea heart, the two Dao heart cultivators spoke up.
“Don’t go to the sea heart yet.”
“Senior Yuchi is absorbing the Heavenly King seal inside the sea heart, so according to our rules, we have to wait for him to leave the sea heart.”
After the Dao heart realm cultivator said this, he felt quite helpless. There was a strong sense of powerlessness in his voice.
After hearing these words, the rest of the people were shocked and stunned.
The other Dao heart realm cultivator chimed in, “It’s just as he said. Senior Yuchi has already passed the 333rd altar, and is currently directly confronting the Heavenly King seal.”
“Although we don’t know the exact situation, we have to wait for any news from Senior Yuchi’s side before we can launch a new expedition into the sea heart.”
“You can discuss the details yourselves. The two of us will be leaving first…”
The mentality of these two people was in a mess.
They were preparing to leave this place.
The others, on the other hand, had completely different feelings.
