Chapter 2217: Chapter 13: Demon Supervisor, Jin Yan’s Death, Grassman Dao Advancement

At the same time, Zuo Qiyu, who lagged half a body length behind him, still stood firmly on this path, forming a powerful pull that tugged at him.

"Still not working?"

Zhao Xing looked at the abyss ahead shrouded in chaotic mist and withdrew his raised foot.

He wasn’t confident he could see what lay ahead, didn’t know whether that life-or-death leap would clear the unknown chaos and cross the abyss.

"Zhao Xing, go back to the Primordial Realm." Zuo Qiyu’s voice came from behind. "Just having Jin Yan pave the way for you isn’t enough."

Zhao Xing turned around and met Zuo Qiyu’s resolute gaze, but Zuo quickly shifted it down to Zhao Xing’s feet.

"I told you long ago this day would come sooner or later."

"Come, I challenge you to a Great Taoism Competition!"

"Please accept my challenge!"

Zhao Xing looked at Zuo Qiyu, and had no doubt that once he agreed, he could naturally kill Zuo Qiyu.

Then perhaps he could truly push the Taichu Grassman further, turning it into a Divine-level Magic Technique.

"Senior Zuo, I refuse."

Zhao Xing gently shook his head.

Zuo Qiyu’s eye corner twitched, but then he barked sternly, "Bastard, you looking down on me?!"

"Yes."

"..."

Zuo Qiyu, who’d prepared a whole set of lines, was instantly choked speechless.

How is he just like Five Poison?!

"You pitying me? Coward!" Zuo Qiyu’s eyes were blazing.

"Right now I’m far stronger than you." Zhao Xing turned away, continuing to stare at the abyss shrouded in chaotic mist, leaving only a profile to Zuo Qiyu.

"You..." Zuo Qiyu also cooled down a bit. He couldn’t understand why Zhao Xing wouldn’t choose the easy way.

He’d clearly already seen hope: killing Jin Yan had indeed let him take half a step further; why not keep going by killing him as well?

"Killing the weak to complete the Dao, maybe that’s Jin Yan’s path, Gu Tiangyang’s path, but... it’s not my path." Zhao Xing’s voice came. "Besides... Senior Zuo, don’t you think this approach is really off?"

Zuo Qiyu’s expression turned grave. "What exactly do you mean?"

"When it was just you alone here, you felt no progress, so you cultivated a successor."

"Once you’d cultivated a successor, you suddenly felt you could progress again by killing that successor." Zhao Xing lowered his gaze to his feet.

"From what my True Spirit observed, Jin Yan’s Dao phantom shattered; twenty percent was absorbed by me, ten percent turned into the road under my feet, and you... hardly got anything at all."

"Then where did the remaining seventy percent go?"

Zuo Qiyu’s pupils contracted, but he did not speak; the possibility was a bit too outrageous.

"I will return to the Primordial Realm to see you, but absolutely not to fight you."

"And I ask Senior Zuo not to do anything excessive."

With that, Zhao Xing ended this round of Dao communication.

"Brother Zhao, you’re out." Venerable Bomeng appeared right on cue.

"Mm, thank you, Brother Bomeng, for helping me settle a long-held wish." Zhao Xing said in gratitude.

"Didn’t I say no thanks? And you already thanked me once." Bomeng replied politely.

"You really did me a huge favor." Zhao Xing recalled the scene he’d just witnessed.

"Hahaha, you’re too polite, hahaha." Bomeng laughed, even a little embarrassed. Had he actually done everything perfectly this time? Zhao Xing was this satisfied?

Of course Zhao Xing was satisfied!

Because after killing Jin Yan, he realized Wei Tianchen’s guess was very likely correct.

"Guluo River once said his father not only took away his elder brother Gu Tiangyang, but also took away the Heavenly Time Dao Origin."

"How can Gu Tiangyang be mentioned in the same breath as the Heavenly Time Dao Origin?"

Zhao Xing also recalled a question he’d asked Guluo River: what is the ultimate goal of the Taichu Grassman?

Guluo River’s answer was: "The Primordial Universe, True God of No Tribulation."

Combined with what he’d seen today, he now had a new conjecture.

"Only those who attain the Heaven and Earth Dao count as True Gods of No Tribulation, so the Taichu Grassman is Gu Tiangyang’s method of attaining the Heaven and Earth Dao!"

"If we assume Gu Tiangyang didn’t die, then every generation that cultivates the Taichu Grassman Skill will be sacrificing a stream of power to him."

"Those who can cultivate the Taichu Grassman are all the most gifted of their era. Generation after generation, how many geniuses’ Dao has he absorbed? I still don’t know his exact method..."

"But whatever the method is, there’s a crucial issue: if Gu Tiangyang isn’t living in the current era, how does he receive the sacrificed power? How can his method of Heaven and Earth Dao remain effective?"

"Could he be living in the current era?"

Zhao Xing felt Gu Tiangyang was still alive, and living in the present era. In that case, even Guluo River wouldn’t know this, and perhaps it could earn Zhao Xing some contribution.

However, he still needed to make a trip back to the Primordial Realm to figure out where Zuo Qiyu had learned that Secret Technique back then.

"Getting this clear is very important to me, otherwise even if I can drive the Divine-level Grassman, I won’t dare use it with peace of mind." Thinking of this, Zhao Xing immediately rose and took his leave from Bomeng.
