Chapter 653

The Sovereign of the Radiant Clan merely ascended; he didn't die. Master, speaking so loudly—aren't you afraid of inviting disaster?

The old woman read her worry and said, "Weiwei, don't worry. This is a grotto-heaven opened up by the Dao Sovereign; outsiders won't sense anything at all."

Only then did Weiwei understand.

It wasn't that her master was being arrogant—she had something to rely on.

"I've heard that a Dao Sovereign inheritor has appeared, somewhere around Yan Nation. Weiwei, go investigate at once." The old woman's expression was complicated. "If it truly is a disciple of the Dao Sovereign, you must treat them with courtesy. If it's a fraud, then there's no need for politeness. Hmph, although the Dao Sovereign has ascended, our Divine Void Grotto-Heaven still remains. We absolutely cannot allow anyone to sully the Dao Sovereign's reputation."

Weiwei's face grew solemn, and she said, "Yes."

At the same time.

Throughout the cosmos, every race was experiencing the same thing.

The Serpent-People Clan.

"Of course, our ancestor once joined the Grand Mystery Sect and learned the supreme Golden Core Great Dao, which we have listed as our clan's orthodox lineage."

"Now that the Dao Sovereign's inheritance has reappeared, it is only right that we go and befriend them. However, the premise is that these inheritors are not fakes!"

"Our ancestor left behind a sentence that I have never been able to decipher. 'What a pity that I cannot ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm?' Didn't the entire Grand Mystery Sect ascend together? Why did our ancestor, before ascending, wear a melancholy expression and speak of regret at not being able to follow the Patriarch and ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm?"

"If we could obtain this answer, the ancestors of generations past would also find peace."

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the myriad clans of the cosmos entered Grand Mystery and spread the cultivation Dao of the Grand Mystery Dao throughout the entire cosmos.

Immortal Martial, Golden Core, Bitter Sea Method, Celestial Immortal Dao, Yang God Dao—five Daos walked side by side.

It can be said that within the entire cosmos there are countless Grand Mystery inheritances.

Of course, the orthodox lineages are few.

These orthodox lineages are mostly the clansmen and disciples left behind when the Grand Mystery Sect ascended in its entirety.

They are a natural alliance of interests, maintaining the Grand Mystery Sect's reputation and the Grand Mystery Dao Sovereign's reputation in the mortal world.

Even on the Grand Mystery Sect's original mountain, this group established a new Grand Mystery Sect, making it a sacred ground of cultivation.

……

At this moment.

Ye Hei was hurrying along with Black Dog, Pang Bo, and others toward the Taiyi Stone Workshop to gamble on stones.

"I say, Ye Hei, what madness has gotten into you at the crack of dawn?" Black Dog was utterly baffled.

Ye Hei wasn't usually an industrious person either. What happened today—did the sun rise in the west? Why was he out gambling on stones so early in the morning?

Ye Hei waved a hand, cutting off outside probes, and said, "Isn't the Dao Sovereign hosting a banquet for guests? How could I show up empty-handed!"

Hearing this, Black Dog's tail wagged furiously, ecstatic beyond measure.

"What good thing is it this time?"

Ye Hei shared in the glory and said proudly, "A few days ago the Dao Sovereign suppressed a powerhouse from another world and obtained a flat peach spiritual root. At this banquet, every group member gets one flat peach. Tell me—isn't that good news?"

Pang Bo, Lin Jia, and Liu Yiyi's expressions changed.

As Earthlings, how could they not have heard the story of the flat peaches.

That was childhood!

"Primordial flat peaches?" Black Dog's dog-eyes went wide in disbelief. "In legend, that kind of flat peach is a divine object that lets one ascend to the heavens in a single step. Consuming it increases ten thousand years of magic power and several tens of thousands of years of lifespan. Even ancient Great Emperors regretted being unable to taste even one."

Ye Hei was shocked: "This... there's a legend for this too? Just how much haven't you told me, you black dog?"

"You never asked." Black Dog rolled its eyes. "Besides, there are way too many Dao Sovereign legends—could I ever finish them all? Ye Hei, you really have the luck of a dog. You actually get to eat flat peaches. No way, I want to taste one too. You'll have to share a bit with me later."

Ye Hei sneered: "Share a bit with you? Why don't you go ask the Dao Sovereign for one?"

Black Dog was embarrassed and instantly deflated: "I wouldn't dare trouble the Dao Sovereign."

Ye Hei: "But it's fine to trouble me, right? Let me tell you, I'm going to become a Heavenly Emperor in the future!"

Black Dog sneered: "Give it a rest. So what if you become a Heavenly Emperor? Can you compare with the Dao Sovereign?"

Just as they were speaking, they sensed a subtle gaze fall upon them.

Ye Hei looked up and saw a woman in an all-white dress appear on Changjie, gazing over curiously.

"Ye Hei?"

Pang Bo was shocked: "Ye Hei, you didn't leave some romantic debt somewhere, did you?"

As the words fell, the looks in the group's eyes turned subtle.
