Chapter 341: Chapter 140: Chaos Immortal Dao! Stepping into the Ninth Stage, the Immortal is Supreme!_3
Hum~ Hum~ Hum~!
"As expected of the leader of the Righteous Path, so vigilant even just about to reach the Dharma Body. It seems the rumours from the outside world are not false, Fellow Daoist, you are indeed very close to making a breakthrough."
As Dao Taixu’s words fell, a humming sound emerged from the sky, followed by a sudden split in space.
Then, from the torn space, a figure cloaked in black emerged.
The newcomer was none other than Yintianzi.
He was drawn here too by the sudden aura of the Heavenly Venerate, but surprisingly he encountered Dao Taixu first.
"Why should you flatter me, Fellow Daoist, I am but a Dharma Body, are you not one too?" Dao Taixu replied calmly.
It was hard to imagine that Yintianzi and Dao Taixu, the leaders of both sides, would be so amicable upon meeting.
"Then, this life, I look forward to experiencing your prowess." Yintianzi said.
"Good!" Dao Taixu nodded.
"Then, Fellow Daoist, I shall take my leave." Yintianzi spoke.
"Safe travels, Fellow Daoist." Tao Lingxu paid his respects with a bow.
After they finished their formalities, the two left each other’s company.
They did not start a conflict, for it would have meant nothing.
Indeed, they stood in opposition.
Indeed, a confrontation between them was very likely, but there would only ever be one single battle!
That one battle, innocuous as long as it doesn’t start, but once it does, it would not only determine victory and defeat, but also life and death!
They were not in a hurry!
Hum~ Hum~ Hum~!
After Yintianzi and Dao Taixu left, only the silence of the Great Wilderness remained.
At this moment, under the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree in the Great Wilderness, Chen Chang’an slowly opened his eyes.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes now.
"Kid, what’s going on? I clearly saw you ascend the Ninth Stage of Immortality, why did you suddenly retreat?" Shen Xuzi floated over, asking in bewilderment.
Chen Chang’an replied:
"Old man, it’s not that I don’t want to ascend, but it seems I can’t yet. I lack something."
Chen Chang’an was not deceiving Shen Xuzi; he was being honest.
When he just merged consciousness with the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree, he vaguely touched upon the Ninth Stage of Great Dao, even going so far as to set foot in it.
This is what led to the spectacle in the sky.
But then, Chen Chang’an’s other foot could not step into it, as though he was still lacking something.
"Lacking something?" Upon hearing this, Shen Xuzi was visibly stunned.
"What are you missing?"
"Not entirely sure." Chen Chang’an shook his head.
"But I am certain it is within the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree," Chen Chang’an added.
Inside the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree?
After hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Shen Xuzi was instantly taken aback, frankly speaking, he didn’t quite understand what Chen Chang’an meant.
What did he mean by it’s "inside this Holy Spirit Ancient Tree"?
If it’s inside here, couldn’t he just take it out and be done with it?
"So, you intend to stay here and guard this?" After some thought, Shen Xuzi asked.
"No need, let’s get going." Chen Chang’an shook his head.
"Let things take their own course in the world, what’s forced may not necessarily be good, it’s better to let it happen naturally."
"Alright, as you wish." Hearing this, Shen Xuzi had nothing more to say.
With that, the two returned to Xiaohe Village, without arousing any attention.
They passed the night without a word.
The next morning, as soon as day broke, Chen Chang’an and his party got up and left after bidding farewell to Chen Yi and Father Chen.
However, instead of heading straight out of the Great Wilderness, they took a detour to a gathering place of a large flock of birds.
They had come to return the Cyan Bird to its home.
After all, the Cyan Bird belonged to the wild, and the mountains of the Great Wilderness were where it should reside.
The outside world was not suitable for it, as with the incident at the Heavenly Water Domain, if it hadn’t been for Chen Chang’an’s urgent intervention, it might have lost its life.
"Caw~ Caw~!"
Upon reaching their destination, the Cyan Bird gazed at Chen Chang’an, cawing continuously.
From its eyes, there was a discernible reluctance to part ways.
"Xuan Bird, stay here. The human world is not suitable for you; these Great Wilderness mountains are where you belong." Chen Chang’an shook his head, speaking to the large Cyan Bird.
Next, he raised his hand, reached into his bosom, and pulled out a ball of light from the space it hid in.
"This is for you, you escorted Xiao Yi here all the way, regardless of your intentions, there’s no need for refusal, it’s your due reward."
With that, Chen Chang’an embedded the light ball into the body of the large Cyan Bird.
Swoosh~!
As the light ball entered the body of the Cyan Bird, its aura visibly strengthened, growing in size, until it reached the height of several hundred feet.
At several hundred feet tall, even in the creature-filled Great Wilderness, it was considered a colossal being.
"Swoosh~!"
Simultaneously, an aura filled with ancient vicissitudes emanated from the body of the Cyan Bird.
It was the aura of Chaos!
"Swoosh~!"
The next moment, with a cry from the Cyan Bird, its cry contained a hint of the majesty of the King of the White Birds!
This was a transformation to its original nature!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this little guy sure is lucky."
In his Inner World, Shen Xuzi looked at the transforming Cyan Bird, his eyes filled with unspeakable envy.
Yes, envy!
This large Cyan Bird simply escorted the child of the Chen family a short distance, and was rewarded with a droplet of his Dao Spirit.
As a result, its bloodline transformed back to its original nature, becoming a Great Wilderness Overlord in a single bound.
Moreover, in the future, it has the opportunity to return to its full original nature and become an ancient Qingluan.
This... is just awesome!
This kid really knows how to let go!
Pondering this, Shen Xuzi couldn’t help but sigh.
Why couldn’t he meet such a person back then?
The world is always unfair!
"Swoosh! Swoosh~!"
Feeling the changes in its body, the Cyan Bird bowed respectfully to Chen Chang’an.
"Xuan Bird, if that’s the case, we’ll part ways here. If you get the chance, please do us a favor and watch over that village." Chen Chang’an said.
"Swoosh! Swoosh~!"
