Chapter 299: 299. The Heavenly Dao Faction Forced to Give Up! Fuxi
299. Chapter 299: The Heavenly Dao Faction Forced to Give Up! Fuxi's Memories Awaken!
On the battlefield, the contestants of the Human Dao Faction and the Heavenly Dao Faction were locked in a fierce battle, fighting with both spells and wits; the scene was exceptionally intense.
A warm current surged in Fuxi's heart; he had not expected that in his moment of greatest peril, contestants from the Human Dao Faction would come to his aid regardless of the cost.
He was especially moved by those powerhouses from outside the Human Race, from different races and regions, who united for the same goal to resist the siege of the Heavenly Dao Faction.
Inexplicably, some subtle changes occurred within Fuxi's heart.
In the past, he had only thought about working hard to grow and becoming someone useful to the Human Race in the future. But now, he felt that besides being useful to the Human Race, he should perhaps also be useful to the entire Human Dao Faction!
"Many thanks to you all for your help!" Fuxi shouted in a deep voice, while simultaneously channeling his magic power to fight fiercely alongside Xiao Qilin.
It seemed that because his mindset had shifted and his perspective had suddenly broadened, his mastery of the Hunyuan Human Emperor Scripture had actually improved, causing his strength to surge! Under his leadership, the morale of the Human Dao Faction's contestants was greatly boosted; they coordinated with tacit understanding, repelling the Heavenly Dao Faction's offensives time and time again.
Although the strength of the Heavenly Dao Faction's contestants was not to be underestimated—they included many with profound cultivation and possessed numerous magic treasures—they could no longer shake Fuxi's side in the fighting.
What made them even more anxious was that while Fuxi fought them, he kept channeling the Special Seal he had just obtained, seemingly in the process of refining it.
"Damn it!"
Guangchengzi and the others were all very furious when they saw this scene.
They all knew that once Fuxi refined that treasure, their situation would inevitably become even more difficult.
Yet, they were helpless.
Were they to just watch Fuxi refine that treasure? The mere thought of it made them feel extremely unwilling.
Just then, a roar like a thunderclap came from afar.
"You bastards of the Heavenly Dao Faction, we have come to fight you too!"
Duobao Daoren's expression changed abruptly; he turned his head toward the direction of the sound and discovered that it was actually a group of the Wu Clan, who had unleashed Dharma Heaven and Earth and were charging toward them!
"Not good!"
Duobao Daoren's face turned livid; he knew well that continuing to tangle with Fuxi and the others would only result in the loss of more disciples of the Heavenly Dao Faction.
With no other choice, he could only make the most difficult decision—to retreat.
"All Jie Sect disciples, heed my command, retreat immediately!" Duobao Daoren shouted in a deep voice, his tone carrying unquestionable majesty.
Upon hearing this, the Jie Sect disciples unwillingly put away their magic treasures and turned to flee into the distance. Seeing this, other contestants of the Heavenly Dao Faction followed suit, no longer lingering in the fight, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
By leaving now, although they gave up on Fuxi's side, they could at least find a way to obtain the other two special rewards.
However, their retreat was not without cost. In this intense battle, the Heavenly Dao Faction lost quite a few disciples, including some powerhouses with profound cultivation.
One must know that they were participating with their true bodies; once killed, they were truly dead! Their fall caused the strength of the Heavenly Dao Faction to be greatly discounted and filled the Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction with anger and unwillingness.
……
Within Chaos, in the Tianyuan World, inside Zixiao Palace.
The Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction closely monitored the changes on the battlefield through their various means. When they saw the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Faction retreating one after another, they could not help but burn with rage.
"This bunch of trash! They can't even deal with a single member of the Human Race!" Kunpeng Daoren scolded angrily; his face was livid, and cold killing intent flickered in his eyes.
Zhunti Daoren also wore a pained expression; the disciples of his Western Sect had suffered heavy losses in this battle, which pained him deeply.
At this moment, they also understood that in this second stage of the Genius Tournament, Lu Yun had almost created a separate Great Desolation without the presence of Saints, letting the three factions of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity slaughter each other; even if they wanted to intervene, they could not!
"I shouldn't have let these disciples participate in the tournament," Jieyin muttered in a low voice.
Their Western Sect was not populous to begin with; although things had improved somewhat in recent years, they still cherished every disciple. Seeing their few disciples die at this moment naturally made them feel even worse.
Minghe also had a bitter expression; their respective sects had likewise lost many disciples. At this moment, their hearts were filled with regret and unwillingness, but since things had reached this point, they could only accept reality.
The disciples of Tongtian's Jie Sect also suffered significant casualties, but since those who died were basically peripheral disciples, he was not too distressed.
As for Laozi and Yuanshi, they basically had no losses.
Yuanshi had always followed an elite development path; his disciples had performed quite well just now, and although many were injured, none had died.
As for Laozi, the contestant of his Ren Sect was Xuandu, and Xuandu had not participated in this slaughter just now.
The several Saints could not help but look upward.
They saw Hongjun Daozu sitting in the great hall, his gaze fixed deeply on the direction of the arena, not knowing what he was calculating; he seemed indifferent to everything that had just happened.
Regarding this, the Saints could only feel helpless and turned their gazes back to the arena.
……
Inside the arena.
Seeing the members of the Heavenly Dao Faction flee, Fuxi did not pursue them.
He knew the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy, especially since he was currently busy refining the Special Seal in his hand. The vast power contained within that seal made his heart surge, as if he saw the broad road leading to the Quasi-Saint realm.
However, he did not immediately begin refining the seal; instead, he went before all the contestants from the Human Dao Faction and the Earthly Faction who had come to help him and solemnly expressed his gratitude to them.
The crowd replied one after another that it was nothing to worry about.
A Wu Clan contestant even said: "Fuxi, you had better refine that seal now, lest others come to snatch it again."
Hearing this, Fuxi nodded slightly; he naturally understood this logic.
Thus, he no longer hesitated, found a relatively safe place, and began to focus intently on refining the seal in his hand.
Xiao Qilin stood guard vigilantly by Fuxi's side, keeping an eye on the surroundings at all times to prevent any accidents.
The other contestants were not in a hurry to leave either, but stayed nearby to stand guard for him.
They clearly knew that once Fuxi refined this seal and truly achieved the Quasi-Saint realm, it would have many benefits for their subsequent competition! ……
On the other side, the members of the Heavenly Dao Faction had indeed not run very far.
Guangchengzi, Nanji Immortal, Duobao, and the others from the Heavenly Dao Faction observed the situation from afar and discovered that the crowd was actually guarding Fuxi, not giving them a chance to attack, and they all cursed loudly.
However, Jinling Shengmu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Duobao: "Senior Brother, this might also be an opportunity for us!"
Duobao was somewhat puzzled and asked: "Why does Junior Sister say that?" The others from the Heavenly Dao Faction also looked at Jinling Shengmu.
Jinling Shengmu said: "Although I don't know what that seal is, I feel that since it can help someone achieve the Quasi-Saint realm, it certainly cannot be refined easily! In that case, wouldn't these contestants from the Human Dao Faction and the Earthly Faction have to stay here the whole time?"
Hearing this, Yunxiao could not help but have a thought, saying: "Does Senior Sister mean that we should take advantage of them being delayed here and hurry to break through to other Secret Realms?"
Jinling Shengmu nodded and said, "That's right! This stage of the competition is to see who can be the first to clear all the Secret Realms and reach that Witch City! Furthermore, that Special Seal is not the only one; since we cannot seize this one, why not look for the other two?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of brilliance crossed Duobao Daoren's eyes, and he nodded in agreement.
He scanned his surroundings and saw that the contestants from the Humanity and Earthly Dao factions were indeed temporarily too preoccupied to look elsewhere due to Fuxi refining the Seal, and he could not help but feel even more excited.
"Junior Sister is absolutely right; we must not stay here long and need to find another way," Duobao Daoren said in a deep voice, then turned to the disciples, "Fellow sect members, we shall disperse immediately and search for the entrances to the other Secret Realms separately. Remember, our goal is to be the first to clear all Secret Realms, reach Witch City, and obtain the final victory!"
"As for that Special Seal, it is best if we can obtain it, but if we cannot, we can naturally snatch it once we arrive at Witch City!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples were all invigorated, and the unwillingness and frustration that had arisen from the retreat were instantly replaced by a new goal.
They quickly adjusted their states and, following Duobao Daoren's instructions, turned into streaks of light and sped off in different directions.
Nanji Immortal exchanged a look with the Chan Sect Golden Immortals like Guangchengzi, and they also understood Jinling Shengmu's intention.
Nanji Immortal sighed softly and said, "Although this plan is risky, it is not without a way out. We must act more cautiously and never let the reputation of the Heavenly Dao Faction be damaged again."
Guangchengzi and the others nodded in agreement.
Immediately, they also turned into rays of light and followed closely behind Duobao Daoren, secretly calculating their next action strategy.
Since both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect had given up on the Special Seal in Fuxi's hands, the contestants from the Western Sect and the Northern Underworld Sect, no matter how unwilling they were, could only make the same choice.
Thus, they all left quietly.
However, what they did not know was that their actions at this moment were seen clearly by another person.
This person was naturally Qiu Wanli! It turned out that Qiu Wanli had previously used a Magic Dao Supernatural Power to hide among these contestants of the Heavenly Dao Faction all along.
He had initially intended to wait for an opportunity; if this group of Heavenly Dao Faction people had seized the Seal from Fuxi, he would have suddenly struck and snatched it from the Heavenly Dao Faction.
In this way, he presumed Lu Yun would not have any objections to him.
It was a pity that this group of Heavenly Dao Faction contestants was too useless and ended up failing! Qiu Wanli knew their plan and directly sent this news, as well as what had just happened, into the Transmigration Chat Group.
Inside the Transmigration Chat Group, Qiu Wanli's message was like dropping a bombshell, instantly detonating the entire group chat.
Jiang Ye: "Hahaha, these guys from the Heavenly Dao Faction are really something; they actually gave up on the Special Seal in Fuxi's hands!"
Liu Chongxiao: "But having said that, Big Brother Qiu, you are hiding too deep, aren't you? You've actually been following that group of Heavenly Dao Faction people the whole time!"
Xiao Ling'er: "Qiu Wanli, won't it be too risky for you to do this? What if you get discovered?"
Qiu Wanli: "Rest assured, my Magic Dao Supernatural Power is no joke. As long as they don't specifically investigate, it's impossible for them to discover me."
Ming Xi: "Big Brother Qiu, what do you plan to do next? Are you really going to snatch that Special Seal from Fuxi?"
Ling Yan: "Although Big Brother Lu Yun didn't forbid us from doing so, it just feels a bit wrong, doesn't it?"
Qiu Wanli: "You guys are overthinking it; relying on me alone, I probably couldn't snatch it even if I wanted to!"
Lin Chen: "Let's just continue exploring other Secret Realms; what if one of us is lucky enough to get one?"
After everyone chatted casually for a while, they each started getting busy again.
At the same time, Fuxi was in the middle of intensely refining the Special Seal in his hand. The majestic power contained within the Seal made his heart surge, as if he saw the dawn of reaching the Quasi-Saint realm.
As time passed, the light on the Seal became more and more dazzling, and Fuxi's aura was also constantly rising.
"Almost there, almost there!" Fuxi muttered to himself while increasing the input of his magic power.
Finally, with a boom, the Seal completely merged into his body, and an unprecedented power surged within him.
"I... I succeeded!" Fuxi shouted excitedly, his eyes flashing with dazzling light.
He felt the power within his body rapidly increasing, and his cultivation was also constantly rising, actually stepping directly into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
Because he was inside a Secret Realm at this time, Fuxi did not trigger any Heavenly Tribulation at all and directly became a Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Moreover, his memories from his past life also surged back at this moment, and the massive amount of information made him unable to help but close his eyes again.
When he opened his eyes again—
"Congratulations, Brother Fuxi!" Xiao Qilin on the side also said excitedly.
Seeing this, the other contestants from the Humanity and Earthly Dao factions cast looks of envy and admiration, then hurried forward to congratulate Fuxi.
Fuxi naturally stood up quickly and thanked everyone for their help.
Immediately, a contestant from the Wu Clan could not help but ask: "Fuxi, what exactly is that Seal?"
The others also cast curious looks, very much wanting to know what that so-called Seal that could help one achieve the Quasi-Saint realm actually was.
A smile appeared on Fuxi's face, and he did not hide it, saying: "What is recorded within this is a type of Great Dao Law Origin; although it is only half of it, as long as one fully comprehends it, one can naturally achieve the Quasi-Saint realm!"
Once these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd was suddenly in an uproar.
"It is actually a Great Dao Law Origin!"
"Hiss! The Saint Emperor's generosity is truly too great!"
"If one could obtain such a Seal, wouldn't it be equivalent to the Saint Emperor personally demonstrating a certain Great Dao for us?"
"That's right! No wonder it can help one achieve the Quasi-Saint realm!"
"No, I must also work hard to find a way to seize a Special Seal!"
