Chapter 2100 - 10: Trial of the Great Dao

Chapter 2100: Chapter 10: Trial of the Great Dao

Wei Tianchen once said, the day the red jade ring is unsealed, is the day he meets his demise and his path dissipates.

Zhao Xing took out the bone body preserving Wei Tianchen’s fire and upon inspection, he found that the True Spirit Fire had indeed extinguished.

The flames in the eye sockets of Venerable Bamboo Sword contracted like pupils, and he immediately realized something: "I didn’t expect he would fall here..."

Zhao Xing was silent too; Wei Tianchen had died, yet he felt no joy in his heart.

In all fairness, he didn’t hate Wei Tianchen.

In this life, he was the one who first sought Wei Tianchen out. At the law conference in the Yuanhai Ancient Country, he was the one who planted the seed, which later led to Wei Tianchen seeking him.

On the contrary, he admired Wei Tianchen’s courage to practice his philosophy, his unwavering determination to follow the Path of Enlightenment. Zhao Xing learned many things from Wei Tianchen, and even his current Eight Tribulation Emperor Realm could not be achieved without Wei Tianchen’s help.

"Boom~~"

Zhao Xing performed the Earth Splitting Technique, tearing apart the lush green land, then took out a fine coffin from the red jade ring, inlaid with many Seven Star Coins, and placed Wei Tianchen’s remaining bone body inside.

"Old Imperial Physician, I don’t know where your hometown is, perhaps you don’t even have one."

"However, someone like you presumably doesn’t care much about returning to one’s roots."

"Let’s just bury you here."

Zhao Xing wanted to erect a monument for Wei Tianchen, but he wasn’t very familiar with Wei Tianchen’s past.

Before capturing him, Wei Tianchen was a renowned healer in the Xuanhuang Star Domain, a virtuous Ancient Physician respected even by the demigods of the Ancient Hill.

After capturing him, he became a notorious figure, hunted by the Xuanling Star Domain, a figure of common hatred.

Zhao Xing didn’t truly know how to write his epitaph.

"He doesn’t care," Venerable Bamboo Sword stood beside him and said. "Let’s go."

"Alright."

Zhao Xing nodded, flew up, and then merged the land together.

......

Wei Tianchen left a rich inheritance!

Besides the Fate Master’s Divine Object Eight-direction Divine Mirror, there were barrier-type Divine Objects, the Green Water Golden God Gourd, Hidden Divine Object Yuan Wheel, historical Divine Objects like the White Jade Five Tombs Ship, and so on.

Based on sensing the aura, Zhao Xing roughly estimated that there were a total of twenty-one Divine Objects within the red jade ring.

Some of these Divine Objects even Wei Tianchen himself would not use, categorized and stored.

For instance, the Seven-Star Fire Divine Sword he once possessed, which was used as a bounty. Among them, five Divine Objects did not require a corresponding professional core or power threshold and could be activated unconditionally.

The most precious one was undoubtedly the White Jade Five Tombs Ship, which itself was a Divine Object, containing a vast array of precious ancient books; knowledge is the most valuable wealth.

Upon obtaining these Divine Objects, Zhao Xing felt little excitement, instead, a sense of crisis.

Wei Tianchen’s death confirmed that Dan Ye Zizai God indeed had issues, and he might use means to acquire Wei Tianchen’s memories.

He might even discover the existence of the Seven-Star Chest and the physician’s Path of Enlightenment Divine Object that Wei Tianchen prepared, all in Zhao Xing’s possession.

Even though over recent years, Zhao Xing had Bai Lanjun lay multiple deceptive routes, and had Venerable Bamboo Sword and another king fake their deaths.

Yet Zhao Xing wouldn’t underestimate the capability of a God Realm’s power; once Dan Ye Zizai God set his eyes on Wei Tianchen’s path, he certainly would not spare Zhao Xing after understanding it clearly.

Venerable Bamboo Sword also realized this point, he spoke rather helplessly: "Zhao Xing, I somewhat regret taking on this business deal with you."

For the journey to Ten Directions Mountain, he agreed to escort Zhao Xing safely back to Red Star Empire.

Unexpectedly, things developed to this point now.

Becoming a god hadn’t even cast a shadow yet, and a Free God was already offended.

Unable to betray his Heart Sword, he could only resist.

"Bamboo Sword brother, I can cancel the contract with you," Zhao Xing said, "I’ll handle it proactively, which shouldn’t betray your Heart Sword nor violate your Sword Dao’s righteousness."

This kind of swordsman as Bamboo Sword Venerable is hard to come by even with a lantern lit searching.

Over the years, Zhao Xing ascended from One Tribulation True Spirit to Eight Tribulation True Spirit; Venerable Bamboo Sword may not have merit, but he surely had hard work, thus Zhao Xing didn’t want to keep owing him a favor.

When facing a threat of Dan Ye Zizai God’s level, whether having Venerable Bamboo Sword or not makes no difference.

Zhao Xing is not the type who can’t see others prospering, unwilling to bind Bamboo Sword to his side.

"Are you serious?" Venerable Bamboo Sword asked seriously, "Just now I was merely joking, not truly having this thought."

"I’m serious," Zhao Xing replied, "you’ve made great progress these years, and now we’ve reached a relatively safe area; with your talents and gifts, you will surely carve out new realms, and you don’t need to get involved."

"To say something unpleasant, I also think you won’t provide any aid under current circumstances; before that Free God, you’re no different from a Skull Soldier."

Venerable Bamboo Sword laughed and sighed: "Indeed, that’s rather unpleasant."

"Thus, I’ve thought it through; you protected me till now, which already fulfills the agreement, next, you can leave on your own."

Venerable Bamboo Sword was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Survive, and I’ll wait for you to take me to Ten Directions Mountain."

"It’s settled then."

After speaking, Venerable Bamboo Sword transformed into a sword light and disappeared into the sky.

Watching Bamboo Sword leave, Zhao Xing withdrew his gaze, feeling somewhat emotional.

Swordsmen as pure as Bamboo Sword are rare throughout the entire Xuanling Star Domain.

Will there be another chance to meet again?

"Hope he survives."

...

"Master, why did Senior Bamboo Sword leave?" Bai Lanjun asked with some confusion.

"Hmm, he left." Zhao Xing didn’t give much explanation.
