——–
That night.
The gathering commenced.
Jiang Hao made it to the gathering without issue.
Currently, his cultivation was at the level of a Perfect Immortal.
Among the attendees, apart from Senior Dan Yuan, it should be that no one could rival him.
Even against Senior Dan Yuan, there was a certain possibility of a fifty-fifty chance.
After all, the likelihood of the other party being of the Daluo was not very high.
Of course, there was also a possibility that he was Daluo.
So far, no one knew exactly what kind of identity Senior Dan Yuan had.
Either way, one thing was certain–it wasn't simple.
After seeing Senior Dan Yuan, everyone sat down with their legs crossed.
The familiar question was heard once again, “Do you have any questions regarding your cultivation?”
Gui was the first to speak, inquiring about the Dao.
Currently, they were all on the path of seeking enlightenment in the Dao.
Regarding this question, Dan Yuan pondered for a while before saying,
“The Dao, it's simple and yet intricate.
Living a life in accordance with the Tao is itself part of the Tao.
Growth is also a manifestation of the Tao.
The coming of spring and the passing of autumn is the Tao.
Human emotions are equally a part of the Tao.
Most believe the Tao to be uncaring, and since many hold this belief, many tread this path.
Unfortunately, the destination of this path is not to sever emotions and detach from all bonds.
Without one's own understanding, one cannot achieve great distances in the Tao.
Therefore, reflect on your lives, comprehend your own thoughts, and perhaps you will find the Dao you seek.
Do not limit yourselves.”
The others listened; perhaps in their previous realms, they could only appreciate the breadth of Senior Dan Yuan's knowledge.
But now the more they listened, the more remarkable they found it.
Senior Dan Yuan's comprehension of the Dao resonated with his, though there were similarities in their distinctiveness.
Or it might be said that the countless paths of the Dao ultimately converge to the same end.
Moreover, the depth of his understanding of the Dao was so profound that no ordinary Perfect Immortal could possibly attain such an understanding.
The commencement of this gathering was an opportunity that countless people could hardly encounter.
After a long time, the attendees began to gain insights.
But they would never know the true quality of this explanation.
Ordinary people might only have a superficial understanding of the Dao, but Dan Yuan was different.
He bypassed superficiality entirely.
If ordinary powerful beings were like peering at the sky from the bottom of a well, then Dan Yuan allowed people to leap out of the well and gaze at the sky unobstructed.
Their starting point had already surpassed the contemporary paragons.
Jiang Hao felt quite moved.
It seemed Liu Chu Chuan, a True Immortal, would also need to be enlightened.
Otherwise, the path taken would be circuitous.
Catching up with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment would then be all the more difficult.
After the question period, Dan Yuan continued,
“Some people wish to know the whereabouts of 'The End of All Things' incarnation.”
“Didn't he go to the North?” Gui inquired.
“But it seems the North has yet to locate him,” Dan Yuan said with a smile.
“I haven't seen 'The End of All Things,' but I've heard that the Li Clan has sensed a fierce beast. Moreover, I heard they've pinpointed the location of a fourth fierce beast, with the intent to trade with others,” Yi interjected.
Upon hearing this, Dan Yuan nodded in approval, “Very well, if the information is true, Friend Yi may consider what you want.”
Yi nodded in delight.
He didn't have much to offer to those at the gathering.
Now with the quest reward from Senior Dan Yuan, he could finally fulfill his previous obligations.
The next part of the gathering was the trade segment.
Currently, Yi was involved in the most trades.
Most of his trades were facilitated by Gui and Friend Xing.
Jiang Hao just observed, as there was nothing he needed to do for the moment.
After all, he seldom ventured out.
However, he did ask about Han Ming.
He directed his question to Senior Dan Yuan.
In response, he received some information, “For now, he's near the Mountain Sea Sword Sect in the North. It's said that when the Mountain Sea Sword Sect invites challenge, he's planning to go and try his luck.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.
Han Ming had actually reached the Mountain Sea Sword Sect, moving faster than expected.
After learning the rough timeline, Jiang Hao remained quiet.
The Gui fairy guard seemed somewhat curious, “Is Friend Jing going to the North?”
Jiang Hao's voice was low, “Perhaps.”
Perhaps, and that meant he was almost certainly heading there.
The Gui fairy guard felt that the North was truly a whirlpool now.
Everyone was heading there.
Once you entered this whirlpool, you might never come out again.
After the trade was over, the conversation turned to the matters around them.
“The situation in the North seems to be developing very quickly,” the Gui fairy guard said with a sigh,
“I feel the southern region is also very dangerous, my luck has been so good,
I might even catch up to Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.”
Everyone else felt the same way too.
After all, the Gui fairy guard had been incredibly lucky for nearly two hundred years, which was indeed a bit strange.
Jiang Hao lowered his brows, speaking in a deep voice,
“Indeed, there is danger in the South.”
Huh?
Everyone was astonished.
The Gui fairy guard was even more bewildered.
Why was there suddenly danger in the South too?
The crowd looked to Jing.
The Gui fairy guard was the first to ask, “What danger is there in the South?”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief internally, waiting for the Gui fairy guard to ask.
Jiang Hao seriously said to the people around him, without hiding anything,
“Because the North is about to have problems.”
Such an answer left everyone somewhat baffled.
Jiang Hao did not play coy but said,
“Have you ever heard of the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone?”
At these words, everyone was stunned.
They had not heard of it.
For a moment, everyone looked to Senior Dan Yuan.
Dan Yuan looked at Jing and asked, “Does Friend Jing think the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone is going to emerge?”
Jiang Hao nodded, “The Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone lies beneath the Li Clan, and the appearance of the Dao fruit earlier might trigger the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.”
As they listened to this, the crowd was somewhat clueless; so, what exactly was the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone?
Dan Yuan, looking at the crowd with a smile, said,
“What the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone specifically is remains a mystery, but it is said that once the Yin-Yang Grinding Plate starts to turn, it will be the beginning of the extinction of all things.”
Then he looked to Jing, “Friend Jing must know even more.”
For a moment, everyone's attention was on Jing.
After contemplating, Jiang Hao said,
“Legend has it that the Yin-Yang Grinding Plate will rotate three times, and with the first rotation, two quarters of the East, West, South, and North will be directly erased, the overseas realms will disappear instantly.”
After that, Jiang Hao offered a simple explanation.
In an instant, everyone at the gathering fell silent.
They didn't know how to speak for a while.
The East, West, South, and North–two quarters would be instantly erased.
The Gui fairy guard felt nowhere was safe for her to go.
Of course, once the second rotation began, no place would matter.
Death was inevitable.
Such a thing was outrageous.
No wonder she had been lucky for two hundred years.
It turned out to be waiting here for her.
Liu was quite emotional,
“At least you guys are within the four quarters, I am overseas, not even given the chance to be random.”
Upon hearing this, the Gui fairy guard felt it was indeed so.
This was even harder than her situation.
“Is the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone about to turn?” Zhang, the fairy guard, asked.
Jiang Hao shook his head.
In this respect, he too was not certain.
Not only that, he did not even know if the millstone would break its seals.
But for the moment, it looked very dangerous.
As for the fierce beasts, they too were incredibly important.
With this thought in mind, he seriously said,
“The End of All Things wants to gather the four great fierce beasts; it would be best not to let them succeed.”
At these words, the crowd was a bit puzzled, but they all understood it probably had something to do with the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.
In regards to the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone, they felt they needed to find out more.
And they would need to pay even more attention to the matters of the North.
