I devised a scheme and gave him a fake one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing paused: “That’s truly beyond foolish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He should’ve died long ago, or he wouldn’t have made such an unwise move.” Huo also thought the ancient one was incredibly stupid. “Using his power, I helped that junior shatter the fake foundation, giving him a chance to advance further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dao’s calculations surely extend beyond that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. Though a sliver of its sentience was extinguished, its bloodline still persists. That junior, though human, bears the Cang clan’s destiny—like a child of heaven, he’ll encounter endless strokes of fortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there’s a cost. If that junior is consumed by the bloodline, he will no longer be human.” Xu Xing shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything has a price. If it truly comes to that… kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo’s tone remained gentle, yet his words sent chills down the spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dao, your methods are still so extreme.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cultivation path is endless; there’s never a moment without struggle. How could my Creation be so easily gained?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Creation I bestow—you cannot refuse it, and you cannot lose it. That is the Ancestor of the Demon Dao—Huo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing said no more and asked instead: “During my seclusion, how many Gao Jie cultivators are there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nearly three million Fan Xu, ninety percent have left the Central Continent for the starry void—but the crucial He Dao number is under sixty thousand, with only ten thousand remaining on the Central Continent, and the rest also entered the starry void.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly three million Fan Xu, yet fewer than sixty thousand He Dao… Above He Dao, the numbers dwindle even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too few.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Central Continent’s laws are rigid, severely limiting the spiritual power cultivators can wield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once they enter the starry void, freed from suppression, their abilities surge—just a Hua Shen can pluck stars and seize moons—yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still not enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Xuan World, though young in origin, is immensely vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divided into four star regions with the Central Continent as its core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely the Northern Star Region spans hundreds of millions of light-years, encompassing hundreds of thousands of star systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even smaller star systems contain hundreds of billions of stars; larger ones hold trillions or even tens of trillions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of planets is even greater, yet only a tiny fraction possess spiritual energy and are habitable for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given the colossal base number, the total remains terrifyingly immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three million Fan Xu, fewer than fifty thousand He Dao—against this boundless starry void—it’s like tossing a handful of sand into the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pluck stars and seize moons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single star system has at least hundreds of billions of stars—how many could you possibly take?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed too few.” Huo sighed. “Pity the demonic races have no He Dao left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True—the great demonic beasts above He Dao in Tai Xuan World had long ago been slaughtered by Huo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refined them into spiritual opportunities and gifted them to human cultivators, eventually even producing many Fan Xu and several He Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But far more humans died because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who couldn’t withstand demonic transformation—died. Those who lost their true selves—died. It was from then on that Huo became the Ancestor of the Demon Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just keep waiting. Time holds no meaning for us,” Xu Xing said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems there’s nothing else we can do.” Huo also smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Dao is unique—even they find it extremely difficult to produce even one He Dao cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it’s better to wait and see which of the two juniors—the one who received Huo’s opportunity and the one guided by Brother Dao—is stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dao, do you know this person called Sheng Huang Yuan?” Xu Xing asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuan?” Huo’s tone held amusement. “An interesting man. I’ve dealt with him many times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing fell silent, silently mourning his fellow countryman. Without equal strength, dealing with Huo was no favor. “Given his uniqueness, perhaps he might have become one of us—but alas…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo deliberately delayed speaking, waiting for Xu Xing to ask first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a long while, Xu Xing still said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re being awfully dull, you know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From my observations, he is not from Tai Xuan World.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo’s words stirred Xu Xing’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, that suspected compatriot, Yuan, was also a transmigrator—and he hadn’t fooled Huo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it remained unknown whether his homeland was the same as his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So his disappearance is connected to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally asked it! I thought you’d lost your voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No connection. Though not from Tai Xuan World, he’s still human. As for why he vanished—I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He managed to deceive you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed. Quite remarkable.” Huo sighed. “But I do have a theory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he’s not from Tai Xuan World… perhaps Yuan simply went back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Went back? “If Brother Dao wishes more details, visit Lingyin Fang.
