Chapter 1640: Chapter 1373 What's Wrong with the World_2 Chapter 1640: Chapter 1373 What's Wrong with the World_2 When a weaker one comes, it's particularly exhilarating.
Myriad thoughts flash by in the blink of an eye.
After everyone greeted Senior Dan Yuan, they sat down cross-legged.
“Are there any problems with cultivation?” Dan Yuan asked with a gentle smile.
There was silence.
“It seems that everyone is making smooth progress,” Dan Yuan looked at Yi and smiled, “The formation is effective, so Friend Yi no longer needs to make any other contributions.”
Hearing this, Yi also heaved a sigh of relief.
Afterward, Dan Yuan turned his eyes to Friend Jing, “Have you also received support?”
“Yes,” Jing nodded.
He had long been aware of the matter of ascending through the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
He was also aware that there were other powerhouses supporting them.
Then, Dan Yuan looked at Jing, “What does Friend Jing need?”
Jiang Hao had indeed taken action; he primarily went to contend with Gu Jin of the Blood Demon.
He did his best.
However, he also brought them a huge storm.
So he didn't take credit but simply said plainly,
“I just want to know to what extent that object has been contended for.”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt it was a bit strange.
What was Jing asking about?
Gui pondered briefly and looked towards Zhang.
Zhang should've been at the scene at the time and probably knew something.
However, Zhang shook her head.
She truly didn't know.
That made everyone even more puzzled.
Could it be not about ascending?
Hearing this, Dan Yuan said with a smile, “It seems Friend Jing hasn't paid much attention to this matter. It's nearly spread overseas, and not just that, another member from the Immortal Clan has arrived.”
“Someone from Heavenly Faction has also arrived.
“We can only let the immortal sect intervene to balance things now. If more people arrive, then…”
Dan Yuan looked at Zhang and asked, “Did Friend Zhang return to the North?”
“Yes, I just returned to the North,” Zhang answered.
Gui looked at Senior Dan Yuan and asked, “Senior, what has been fought over to reach overseas?”
In their hearts, the others praised her question.
Gui had asked a good question.
Yi also felt the same way. He thought that many questions were inappropriate to ask at the gathering,
but Gui would always voice them.
He didn't dare to ask, and it seemed that no one else intended to, either.
But he was curious.
Unexpectedly, Gui just asked.
Dan Yuan replied with a smile, “It's because someone who looks like Laugh Three Times appeared in the Heavenly Note Sect.”
“Laugh Three Times?” Gui pondered briefly, “Gu Jin, the peerless one, has died, so someone else has become Laugh Three Times?
“And Laugh Three Times is…”
Gui looked at Jing, curious, “What happened afterward?”
Zhang thought for a moment and said, “That day, I remember the Blood Demon appeared, but I don't know what happened after it appeared. I only know that a powerhouse seemed to have died all of a sudden, and then a blood-red tornado touched the heavens, which was terrifying.
“After that, many powerhouses started fighting again.”
“Yes, the Blood Demon appeared, and an unknown powerhouse emerged from within, and Laugh Three Times fought against them.
“Eventually, he obtained an item.
“This item became the source of the subsequent struggles,” Dan Yuan said with a smile.
“What item?” Gui inquired.
The others also waited for the continuation.
Dan Yuan looked at Jing, “That's something you'll have to ask Friend Jing.”
Jiang Hao, feeling the surrounding gazes, was unconcerned and spoke in a low voice, “The Daluo Dao fruit.”
The Daluo Dao fruit.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
There were no gasps of astonishment.
Not because the item wasn't astonishing enough but rather…
They didn't know what it was.
Seeing this, Dan Yuan laughed and explained, “Legend has it that the Human Emperor is in the Daluo Realm, and obtaining the Dao fruit allows one to enter Daluo.”
In an instant, everyone inhaled a breath of cold air.
Then they looked at Jing with a hint of horror in their eyes.
Gui was the first to speak up, “Does that mean that Friend Jing is destined to enter this realm?”
They may not know what the Daluo realm was, but they understood what the Human Emperor represented.
“Not necessarily,” Liu piped up, “Senior Dan Yuan mentioned there was a follow-up.”
“Yes,” Dan Yuan continued, “Laugh Three Times obtained the Dao fruit, but he did something.”
“What did he do?” Gui was very curious.
Dan Yuan looked at everyone and added, “He threw the Dao fruit he had in hand, giving it to a powerhouse of the Bright Moon Sect.
“All those who came for great fortune no longer fixate on it but start fighting over the Dao fruit.
“Thus, the great battle ensued.
“It's almost reached overseas from the southern region, and moreover, the battle keeps expanding.
“So far, the ownership of that object is yet undecided.
“It seems likely that the conflict will not subside for another hundred years or more.”
Hearing this, Gui felt a little uneasy, “Will this cause a storm overseas?”
“Certainly,” Dan Yuan turned to the crowd and said, “If you can call someone from overseas, they are perfectly welcome to give it a try.”
Call someone from overseas?
For a moment, everyone had their thoughts.
“Should we inform the academy?” Fairy Zhang inquired.
Dan Yuan replied softly, “Either is fine.”
With that, no one else spoke up.
Dan Yuan turned to Jing and said, “If Friend Jing merely wishes to know about these matters, then as there are developments, news will be conveyed to you.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
That would be very good.
There would be no need to gather and inquire every time.
After that, Dan Yuan mentioned two other matters.
They were about the Ancient Lands and the inner connection within the Immortal Clan.
It was only then that Jiang Hao remembered he hadn't visited Brother yet.
It seemed he would have to find time to ask Brother if he had managed to enter the Immortal Clan.
Regarding these two points, no one else spoke.
After all, there was no solution for the time being.
Additionally, they were still shocked by the news they had just heard.
Jiang Hao didn't participate in the subsequent trading.
While listening to the news around him, Jiang Hao learned that Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had gone north again.
The dragon race from overseas was increasing.
The Saint Bandits' activities grew more frequent.
Elsewhere, there was not much change.
The east had always been in conflict, with the appearance of an invincible figure looming.
Yi informed him that the Li Clan had started making contact with the outside world, yet the special channel had not yet been established.
Someone had used a special method to enter the Li Clan.
His status and identity were not enough to know who it was.
Jiang Hao remembered what Lady Bi Zhu had told him, to try and find the records to see what legends the Li Clan had.
Perhaps he could ascertain their intentions.
So the others also nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the gathering came to an end.
Overseas.
Lady Bi Zhu sat up.
She looked at the moonlight outside and felt that the moon was much larger than in the southern region.
So full and so bright.
“Suddenly, I miss the years gone by, and I wonder how my elder and second brothers are doing.”
“I'm homesick.”
Unfortunately, she still couldn't leave.
The Shangguan family was too weak; after all these years, they'd yet to produce four Human Emperors.
She had truly tried everything.
Fortunately, she had found a new method, and this time, two Human Emperors should emerge.
When Shangguan Qingsu returned, he would be a Human Emperor, but he didn't say much upon his return.
He simply mentioned that the Heavenly Note Sect was very dangerous and that a fight had broken out.
“A fight has broken out, but we have no idea why. Who could possibly guess the reason?” Lady Bi Zhu thought as she lay down again.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in her mind.
“How is the task coming along?” It was Gu Changsheng's voice.
Lady Bi Zhu suddenly remembered something and asked, “Senior, may I ask you something?”
“What is it?” Gu Changsheng asked.
“What realm are you in?” Lady Bi Zhu inquired.
“A realm stronger than yours,” Gu Changsheng answered.
“Then have you reached Daluo?” Lady Bi Zhu asked again.
There was silence on the other end.
“Not yet?” Lady Bi Zhu was startled.
Gu Changsheng hadn't reached it?
“All I can say is that when I was exiled, I was infinitely close to that realm,” Gu Changsheng replied.
That meant not yet. Lady Bi Zhu asked again:
“And now?”
“You'll know when I return,” Gu Changsheng did not give a clear answer.
“Then, what would happen if a Daluo Dao fruit appeared?” Lady Bi Zhu continued to ask.
There was silence again.
“How could a Daluo Dao fruit appear?” Gu Changsheng exclaimed, “Even a divine item of heaven and earth cannot condense a Daluo Dao fruit.”
“I said 'if.' What would happen if a Daluo Dao fruit appeared?” Lady Bi Zhu persisted.
“The cultivation world would stir up a boundless storm, and the top tier of powerhouses would fight until the Tao ceases to exist.
It's a realm countless people cannot glimpse, a realm countless people dream of.
Many powerful beings fall at the doorstep of that realm.
In each era, the number of people who can enter that realm is few.
And a Daluo Dao fruit, even if not perfectly merged, given enough time, anyone could enter.
The weakest among them would still be far stronger than the rest,” Gu Changsheng explained.
Lady Bi Zhu, swallowing hard, said, “Then… do you think there's a chance someone obtained a Daluo Dao fruit and then tossed it away to give it to someone else?”
“Impossible. What kind of genius, what kind of demon, could afford to toss a Dao fruit away? Who wouldn't handle it with the utmost care?
Do you think the Human Emperor is still alive?” Gu Changsheng exclaimed passionately.
But quickly, he realized something: “So, have you encountered such a person? And even a Daluo Dao fruit?”
What has happened to this world?
