Chapter 2965 — Xuanchen's Warning
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"This matter must begin with an old affair from some ten-odd years ago. Two masters of the Heavenly Dao, from no one knew where, ran rampant across the entire Ancient Layer and carried off every expert at the peak of the late Heavenly Rank, great consummation. For those who resisted, there was only one road—death. For those who followed, it was said they could successfully ascend to the Heavenly Dao." Recalling that affair, Ancestor Xuanchen still felt a lingering dread. Thank goodness the Five Luminaries Sect had been led by Xuantian Bai in those days, and had laid its foundations in low profile, so that those two masters had never discovered its existence. Otherwise, the Five Luminaries Sect could never have escaped calamity.
"Masters of the Heavenly Dao? So such masters of the Heavenly Dao truly exist in this world!" Only today did Kang Jingming realize what a frog at the bottom of a well he was. "But those two—were they not far too overbearing? Death to any who resist? Is that not utterly unreasonable?"
"In the world of cultivators, the strong prey on the weak. Where is there any reason to speak of? You poisoned Wei Zhao—was that not unreasonable too?" Ancestor Xuanchen shook his head and spoke with unconcern.
"Uh... that is true..." Only then did Kang Jingming recall that he himself was no different.
"Besides, those two masters of the Heavenly Dao, known together as the Twin Vajra Fiends, were not truly unreasonable either. In truth, in the world of cultivation, which expert at the peak of the late Heavenly Rank, great consummation, does not have a few sordid deeds to his name? They have all killed, all seized fine treasures from others. If you were to list it all out, that would be a catalogue of crimes." Ancestor Xuanchen said, "If they pick any one item at random to make their case, you have no way to answer."
"Then would it not be better to follow them? Could one not ascend to the Heavenly Dao that way?" Kang Jingming was still somewhat perplexed.
"So it was said, but who has ever seen it? For a thousand years, the only method of ascending to the Heavenly Dao that we cultivators recognize is to open the Cloud Terrace Island and ascend there—not this so-called following others to ascend." Ancestor Xuanchen said, "Besides, as things stand now, those cultivators who left with those two have vanished utterly from the world. No word of them has ever appeared again. So I believe that eight or nine times out of ten, they went and never returned."
"What on earth did those two masters of the Heavenly Dao want to do?" Kang Jingming asked, baffled.
"That I do not know. The minds of masters of the Heavenly Dao are strange and beyond our reckoning. Unless you reach that level, no one can know what those people are thinking or what they are pursuing." Ancestor Xuanchen shook his head.
"Very well." Kang Jingming nodded and asked no further, turning instead to another question. "By the way, Master, that Limit Gathering Pill of Wei Zhao's—shall we still refine it for him?"
"No need to refine it for now. First refine the Marrow-Cleansing and Bone-Replacing Pill for the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect!" Ancestor Xuanchen waved his hand in instruction. "Wei Zhao's dantian is ruined. What the hell would he do with pills? Besides, if it were not ruined, all the more reason not to let him have it. What if he took it and rose two ranks at once, breaking straight through to the Heavenly Rank? Would not that poison have been given in vain?" (To be continued.
