Chapter 1257: Chapter 1257, heaven treading?
Translator: 549690339
Wang Baole was silent. He saw Chen Qingzi’s gaze, and many thoughts rose in his heart. Eventually, they turned into a soft sigh. He no longer insisted on his master’s death, but he couldn’t bring himself to call him senior brother.
In the end, he could only once again clasp his fists and bow deeply to Chen Qingzi.
Then, he turned around and walked toward the starry sky, toward the left path.
He knew that the day his senior brother broke through was the day of his dao seeking. The dao seeking within the stone stele realm was ultimately… to walk out of the stone stele realm, into the outer universe, and take a look at the starry skies that was different from this place.
With his current cultivation level, he was still unable to do that. Furthermore… His Dao was different from Chen Qingzi’s.
!!
The five elements were not perfect yet. At the same time, Chen Qingzi’s choice was filled with uncertainty. Perhaps he could really succeed and break through the barrier, and his dao seeking would bear fruit.
However, it was also possible… that something unexpected might happen.
It was impossible for Wang Baole not to be worried about what would happen in the end. However, he knew that worry was useless. This was Chen Qingzi’s obsession and the choice he had been pursuing.
“I wish… You All the best,”Wang Baole muttered as he disappeared.
After Wang Baole left, the seven spirit dao patriarch bowed deeply to Chen Qingzi and turned to leave. Chen Qingzi was the only person left in the once unending central region. He sat cross-legged in the void. The Dark River materialized around him and surrounded him, it gradually covered his figure.
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, twenty-eight years had passed.
Twenty-eight years wasn’t much for the stone stele world, but the changes were immense!
After the Weiyang clan had fallen from the divine altar, they no longer had the arrogance they had in the past. The sects, clans, and civilizations that they had enslaved in the past had all exploded. In the end, the Weiyang clan had no choice but to give up everything, they gathered all of them on their ancestral planet, and only then did they barely manage to obtain a place to live.
And this… was only because the Xie clan’s patriarch had appeared in the end to protect the clan.
Other than that, the Xie clan’s patriarch was a peerless mighty figure, but he had never once made a move. Whether it was during the battle back then, or during the past twenty-eight years, he seemed to have been completely silent. His sense of presence was extremely low, the Xie clan didn’t expand their territory because of the Weiyang clan’s fall from grace.
Instead, they continued to shrink. It was also because he hadn’t made a move back then that Wang Baole, the seven Spirit Dao Patriarch, or the dark sect, which was at its peak in the stone stele realm, didn’t make things difficult for them.
As for the dark sect, in the past twenty-eight years, it had become the number one sect in the stone stele realm. Its influence spread far and wide, and it was on par with the Weiyang clan from before. Dark sect disciples dressed in black robes could often be seen in various regions, they held lantern oars in their hands and sat on boats to ferry the souls of the dead.
The cycle of reincarnation had begun, and all sorts of dark sect techniques appeared in the dark sect. It was as if the entire world of stone monuments had become peaceful.
Wang baole, who had returned to the left Dao sanctum, no longer went into seclusion frequently. He had gained authority over his Earth Dao Seed, which allowed it to accelerate greatly in its formation. However, no matter how fast it sped up, it couldn’t be formed overnight, however, the acquisition of authority meant that even if Wang Baole failed to form his dao seed, it would not affect the quality of the item that carried the Dao.
That was enough. Wang Baole could sense that it was almost time for the earth seed to be formed.
The Federation had prospered greatly in the past twenty-eight years. Even though twenty-eight years was short in terms of the entire galaxy, it still allowed the federation’s status as the Overlord of the left Dao sacred territory to be deeply rooted in the hearts of all living beings.
It was the same for Dao Lord Wang Baole. It was the same for the side sect. The Seven Spirit Dao was already an overlord to a certain extent. Its patriarch had unified the side sect in the Holy Region and was also known as the side Sect Dao Lord.
The only exception was… The Star Moon sect. It was the most mysterious part of the side sect in the holy region. Even the seven Spirit Dao had tacitly agreed to it. However, there were too few people who were qualified to know about the star Moon sect. Most people only knew about the seven spirits, they didn’t know about the Star Moon sect.
As for Wang Baole, he didn’t forget the invitation that the ancestor of the Star Moon sect had given him back then. It had been a sixty-year cycle and eight years. There were still twenty-one years left… from now on.
Time was approaching.
During these twenty-eight years, Wang Baole had gone to many places. It could be said that he had been to many places in the starry skies, be it the side-door or the side-door. He had been searching for treasures that could hold gold and fire.
It was a pity that he hadn’t been able to find those two supreme treasures. Wang Baole had gone to the Weiyang Central Region three times in the past twenty-eight years.
Every time, he had stood by the Dark River and stared into the depths of the river. Vaguely, he could see the figure that had sunk to the bottom of the river.
Every time, he had stared at it for a long time before bowing and leaving.
Every time, when he was leaving, he wouldn’t notice that the figure at the bottom of the river, with its eyes closed, would open slightly and stare into the distance.
Another year passed. When the twenty-ninth year arrived, the blazing flame ancestor went into seclusion, attempting to break through once again and step into the universe realm.
Wang Baole had accompanied his family for twenty-nine years. He went into seclusion once again to comprehend the Earth Dao seed. He could sense that the formation of the earth seed wasn’t far away.
Time passed once again. This time, it was even shorter. Another year had passed.
Thirty years had passed since the great battle. On this day… Wang Baole, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. He didn’t look at the countless runes that filled the air in front of him. The earth seed had already formed into more than half of its original form. Instead, he raised his head abruptly, he looked into the starry sky. He looked at the central region of the never-ending river. He looked at the Dark River. He looked… at the figure within the Dark River.
Almost at the same time that Wang Baole looked into the river, the Seven Spirit Dao Patriarchs, the Xie family patriarchs, and the Star Moon sect patriarchs all looked into the Dark River.
The Dark River was already churning. Rumbling sounds reverberated in all directions. A monstrous aura was brewing within it. The Aura was enough to make the entire stone monument realm tremble and make all living beings lose their senses.
However, the aura dissipated quickly. The Dark River stopped churning and returned to its calm state. However, a figure slowly walked out of the Dark River and stood on the Dark River.
He was dressed in a black robe, had long hair, a wooden sword, and a gourd. When the familiar figure appeared before Wang Baole and the others, they were all shocked.
They couldn’t see through him.
Chen Qingzi might have been extremely powerful when he stood there earlier, but one could still vaguely see the ripples of his cultivation. However, Chen Qingzi was just like a mortal now. There wasn’t a single ripple on his body, his expression was no longer as cold as before. Instead, it was much gentler.
However, this seemingly mortal figure caused the hearts of everyone who looked at him to pound. At first glance, he seemed mortal, but at second glance, it was as if they had seen a god.
An indescribable mystery, an unfathomable power, and an unfathomable realm!
“Heaven treading?”Beside Wang Baole, Little Missy’s figure gathered together. She looked at the scene in disbelief and muttered.
“It doesn’t seem like it…”
Wang Baole didn’t pay too much attention to little Missy’s muttering. It wasn’t important. What was important was that sadness surfaced in his heart at that moment.
He knew that Chen Qingzi, who had achieved a breakthrough, was going to seek the Dao.
However, whether he would eventually seek the Dao or become a martyr was unknown.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, Wang Baole’s body disappeared from the left Dao. When he reappeared… he was already beside the Dark River, a thousand feet away from Chen Qingzi. He looked at Chen Qingzi with a complicated expression and asked softly, “Are you really going?”.
“Are you really going?”
Chen Qingzi turned his head and looked at Wang Baole gently. He smiled.
“Junior brother, as your brother… I’m one step ahead of you. I’m going to see the end of the world. For You and for myself, I have to live without regret!”
“I don’t believe in fate.”
“But if I fail, there’s no need to be sad for me.”
“Because…”
“This is my dao!”
