Chapter 1468: Chapter 1467: Water God Gong Tu, The Origin of Everything

The “crack, crack” sound kept echoing.

The entire earth was trembling.

However, the Stream of Myriad Waters remained like still water without a ripple of movement.

As if even if the heavens fell under it, it would remain indifferent.

Accompanied by the continuous “crack” sounds.

Suddenly, the waters below began to boil, and a path emerged from the originally dark stream.

Then the path sealed off, revealing a portal.

A very small portal, just enough for one person to enter.

“Child, come in,” a voice sighed.

“Perhaps you are the hope for everything.”

Xu Zimei was unafraid and walked directly into the small door.

Upon entering, his vision started to change.

This was a particularly large space.

Within it, a very long dragon pillar rose up to the sky, with no end in sight.

He didn’t know where it led.

On the dragon pillar, chains were wrapped around.

Apart from that, various corals, of different shapes and colors, grew here.

Exquisite, and perhaps ‘breathtaking’ could describe it.

“Where are you?” Xu Zimei shouted.

Because upon entering, he hadn’t seen any figures.

This made Xu Zimei question if it might be a trap.

“I am right in front of you,” the voice replied.

Xu Zimei was surprised and looked at the corals before him.

He asked, “Are you a coral?”

“To your left, see that sealed pillar,” the voice sounded.

This time, the voice carried emotions, unlike its cold tone before.

Instead, it was like that of an old person in their twilight years.

“Pillar?” Xu Zimei was puzzled.

He quickly turned his head, distancing himself, and watched cautiously.

Before this, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual about the pillar.

Upon closer inspection now, there was indeed a faint thread-like aura within it.

And it was particularly concealed.

If the other party hadn’t deliberately exposed it, he wouldn’t have noticed at all.

“How did you become like this?” Xu Zimei asked, confused.

“It’s a long story, but it was for self-preservation,” the voice sighed.

“I am the Water God, I did not lie about that.”

“As for the specific reasons, I can tell you one by one.

But first, I need to understand you.”

“Understand me?” Xu Zimei replied with a smile.

“What is there to understand about me?”

“You are seeking the inheritance of the Ancient Gods, right,” the Water God said.

Xu Zimei knew this matter couldn’t be hidden.

He hadn’t intended to hide it and nodded.

“What is your purpose?” the Water God asked.

“Is this important?” Xu Zimei replied.

“If you don’t say, I’m afraid I won’t be able to pass on my inheritance to you,” the Water God replied.

“I want to break a seal.

A seal in a place forsaken and forgotten by the Holy Court,” Xu Zimei replied.

He couldn’t reveal anything about the Ancient Demon Cave.

And matters had reached this point.

He couldn’t come across the Water God and not obtain the inheritance.

But this also confirmed his suspicions.

Whether it was the Stream of Myriad Waters or the Water Beast, they were all related to the Water God.

Before, it was merely his speculation, without any evidence.

Now everything was laid out before him.

Xu Zimei looked up and asked, “Do you have anything else to ask? Just ask all at once.

We don’t have much time, the Red Person will eventually notice the flaws.”

“The Holy Court, indeed a very ancient organization,” the Water God said with emotion.

“As ancient as it may be, could it be older than you all?” Xu Zimei laughed.

These Ancient Gods were truly undying.

From the creation of the Nine Domains, the dawn of the first age, when the Ancient Gods sought the Dao, they already existed.

Moreover, they were the main characters in it.

Back then, the Holy Court did not yet exist.

“You can’t say it like that, strength is not directly proportional to time,”

The Water God laughed, “The Holy Court indeed can be considered the premier organization of the Nine Domains.

Through the ages, countless forces have perished, yet they grow increasingly stronger.”

“Mere lackeys of the Heavenly Dao,” Xu Zimei said disdainfully.

“You can’t say it like that,” replied the Water God.

“In this world dominated by the Heavenly Dao, they too are surviving.

However, everyone chooses a different path to survive.”

On this point, Xu Zimei didn’t argue.

Some eat standing, some beg on their knees.

Look at the myriad shapes and colors in this world.

As long as one holds firm to their goals and moves forward unwaveringly, that is enough.

That is Xu Zimei’s Dao.

……

“Let’s not discuss this matter, let’s talk about us,” Xu Zimei replied.

“It’s my turn to ask questions, right?”

“Go ahead,” the Water God replied.

“Why have you fallen to this state, a dignified Ancient God, ending up so pitiably,” Xu Zimei said.

“This matter, let’s start with the Water Beast,” the Water God sighed.

“I sensed that aura from you.

You must have seen it, right?”

“Are you talking about… the Blue Person?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Is that what you call him?

I call him the Stream of Hope,” the Water God replied.

“Being human, you might not be clear on many things.

But our Fire Tribe, upon reaching a certain realm, begins to slowly understand.

Our Fire Tribe has a flaw.”

“A flaw? What do you mean?” Xu Zimei was shocked.

To know that the entire Blazing Flame Realm was dominated by the Fire Tribe.

If there was truly a flaw, it would be an enormous issue.

Yet, why hadn’t he heard of it?

Perhaps even the tribe itself didn’t know.

This earth-shattering secret was kept so discreetly, truly unthinkable.

“That’s because, only when one reaches the level of a Dao Fruit Powerhouse, can they sense that flaw.

The average Fire Tribe would have no idea.

As for the current Fire Tribe, think about how many Dao Fruit Powerhouses there are?”

The Water God countered.

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

Indeed, as it stood now, the Fire Tribe only seemed to have the Candle Dragon as a powerhouse.

As long as the Candle Dragon doesn’t disclose this matter, perhaps no one would know.

Understanding this, Xu Zimei then asked.

“What flaw are you referring to?”

“The Fire Tribe is born with an excess of Yang energy. In the beginning stages of cultivation, it’s not perceivable.

But upon reaching the pinnacle, everything comes together in a harmony of Yin and Yang, Chaos, and Great Dao Simplicity.”

The Water God explained: “And what the Fire Tribe lacks is Yin energy.

Or rather, the water energy that can suppress fire energy.

Only by possessing water energy, merging fire and water, can one ultimately achieve the peak of the Other Shore Great Dao.”

“So, the creation of the Water Beast came about?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Initially, I too practiced the Fire Path.

Seeing this realm, I abandoned the Taoist Fruit of the Fire Path, breaking it down completely.

To pursue the Water Path instead,” the Water God sighed.

Xu Zimei, upon hearing this, felt how difficult it was.

Having reached the peak, yet willing to sacrifice one’s realm.
