CHAPTER 1170: CHAPTER 774: ACCELERATING THE GROWTH OF MUSTARD SEED IN PALM_2

As for those below the Immortal Realm, they can be directly ignored. Let them continue with their cultivation peacefully; there’s no need for them to get involved in this matter.

Currently, the entire Human Race has only one master at the Ascension Realm, Fu Yuzi, nine experts at the Inquiry Dao Realm, and twenty-one experts at the Immortal Realm!

A portion of these people needs to be assigned to nurture the Mustard Seed in Palm, while the rest must continue to comprehend Xiang Beifei’s Dao embryos and elevate their cultivation levels!

Of course, Xiang Beifei’s speed in nurturing the Mustard Seed in Palm is much faster. He possesses more skill in controlling the Mustard Seed, and his speed surpasses that of nurturing breath soil by a considerable margin!

Although his cultivation isn’t higher than Fu Yuzi’s, his speed in nurturing is ten times faster than Fu Yuzi’s!

He is quite familiar with such things; even the most basic Mustard Seed in Palm came from the Spirit Gathering Book. He attempted it and found that he could nurture a Zhang-long Mustard Seed in Palm in about ten hours.

Xiang Beifei plans to spend some time nurturing more of the Mustard Seed in Palm, so the Human Race has the most basic assurance.

The more he understands the ancestor tools, the more he realizes the terrifying nature of such things!

It can forcibly erase something from the world completely. Even Xiang Beifei couldn’t do anything about it.

Therefore, why the Edge Corner Airspace could be controlled by the Dao Palace becomes understandable.

They must have controlled a lot of the Heavenly Dao Laws. If any race wants to resist, they can entirely rely on the ancestor tools to erase them from the world!

"Luckily, the Heavenly Dao Laws for human survival are not in their hands; otherwise, the Human Race might not exist in the Edge Corner Airspace," Xiang Beifei couldn’t help but ponder.

The Litian Spear could suppress the Mustard Seed in Palm, which naturally also means it could erase a race with the Heavenly Dao Laws.

In Xiang Beifei’s view, the drastic decline of such a powerful race as the Human Race back then might have had much to do with the ancestor tools.

Maybe it was because of the Heavenly Dao Laws that were closely related to the interests of the Human Race being consumed by the opponent’s ancestor tools, resulting in a significant loss of fighting power for the Human Race, and the Mustard Seed in Palm was undoubtedly not the only factor.

Xiang Beifei was not familiar with the Heavenly Dao Laws owned by the Litian Spear, but the most memorable one for him was "betrayal and treachery."

If, during the battle, the opponent used the Litian Spear to perfectly exploit the law of "betrayal and treachery," making those fighting together turn against each other, then it would be impossible to win.

The Human Race must have been caught by the Dao Palace through some flaw, suffering losses related to the ancestor tools, which led to such a mighty race ending up hiding in fear.

But fortunately, the Heavenly Dao Laws prohibiting the existence of the Human Race are probably not in the hands of the Dao Palace, otherwise, the Human Race would have been exterminated long ago.

So, it’s very likely to be with Xiang Beifei.

"Is it the little broken sword? Or the little brick?"

Xiang Beifei has been pondering this matter these days, now that he has learned about the abilities of the ancestor tools, many things seem to make sense.

Perhaps, Daoist Qingde ran into trouble while trying to find the Heavenly Dao Laws that suppress the rise of the Human Race. Then the Heavenly Dao Laws ensuring the existence of the Human Race are very likely still with him, either with Wufeng or the Five Pieces of Stone.

"It seems that to deal with the Dao Palace, it must start with the ancestor tools."

The ancestor tools control the Heavenly Dao Laws, and whoever possesses the ancestor tools possesses the world.

Xiang Beifei wants to help the Human Race rise and win this war, and the key point inevitably lies with the ancestor tools.

So, the first thing he must do is find the broken sword body of Wufeng and the remaining two pieces of bricks; only in this way can he make the ancestor tools complete and contend with the Dao Palace!

Of course, most importantly, he must reach the Ancestral Dao Realm soon!

Otherwise, with his current strength, even holding two ancestor tools would still cause them to disdain him.

——

Sheyin City was destroyed because of the wrath of four ancestor tools.

The successive fury of four ancestor tools caused massive destruction. The arenas originally provided for those genius battles were linked with the formations of Sheyin City, and now that Sheyin City is destroyed, all the arenas are also rendered ineffective, which forced the Heaven and Earth Ranking Contest to be halted.

Numerous races were bewildered by the sudden occurrence, as Sheyin City, in their eyes, was a holy land, being one of the three main cities of the Dao Palace, where no chaos had occurred in ten thousand years, and where nobody dared to act recklessly.

But who could have imagined that not long after the Spotlight contest had just begun, this holy city was blasted into pieces!

Everyone was debating what exactly had happened; to eradicate a holy city in such a manner was utterly astounding, and just what kind of power could achieve such a feat.

For the high levels of the Dao Palace, not only was this not a loss, but it was a significant gain.

Because the Litian Spear became complete!

A complete Litian Spear means a more formidable strength!

At this moment, in the depths of the Edge Corner Airspace.

An endless void, a realm of gray.

Golden rays of light emerged in the sky, slowly circulating, with everything in that void seemingly twisted, forming golden clouds of auspicious light in a highly mystic manner.

"Wu Yanwei was seriously injured, who exactly did it? Was there no clue left behind?"

The voice belonged to a man, distant and ethereal, as if it traversed the vastness of time and space, stirring the soul.

Only his voice was heard, but he was not seen.

"Not sure, but definitely—it’s a Human Race!" responded a woman with a magnificent voice, tinkling like celestial music.

"Human Race!"

The man’s voice wavered slightly, seeming very grave.

"It’s impossible for a Human Race to enter Sheyin City! The blood ground is forged by sacrificing the souls of millions of the Human Race, any Human would be detected!" he said.

"But according to feedback from the Heavenly Spear, this intruder made a deal with it!"

"Deal?"

"The other party obtained a fragment of the Heavenly Spear."

"Then how can you be sure he is Human?"

"Because the content of the deal was about the divine pattern of the Mustard Seed in Palm, he asked the Heavenly Spear to exchange this law of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Mustard Seed in Palm!" The man seemed very enraged.

The existence of the Mustard Seed in Palm is unknown or unimportant to most races, but only the Human Race absolutely needs this Mustard Seed in Palm!

Obviously, exchanging Heavenly Spear fragments for the Mustard Seed in Palm, it could only be the Human Race!

"Yes, the divine pattern of the Mustard Seed in Palm has already been taken, the other party also brought two ancestral artifacts, from what happened then, it should be Wufeng and Five Pieces of Stone. Only they could accomplish such a feat!"

"Are you sure?"

The man’s voice suddenly changed tone, losing its ethereal quality, and gaining a hint of gravity!

"Could it be him?"

These two items, their original owner, they both knew!

"It shouldn’t be, you must know, the blood ground is specifically targeted at Wufeng! He couldn’t have entered unnoticed."

The two fell silent, deep in a prolonged contemplation.

After a long while, the man spoke again, "Any news of him?"

"You mean Wufeng?"

"No."

"Then you mean—Wufeng’s son?"

"Yes," the man said sternly.

The woman paused, and said, "No."

"Is it possible it’s him?"

"Hard to say. But a few years ago Wufeng’s son entered Sheyin City, and we discovered him, he didn’t have that capability."

"We can’t rule out that he found a loophole to sneak in, perhaps using an ancestral artifact to avoid the blood ground," the man said.

"It shouldn’t be Wufeng’s son, Wu Yanwei mentioned that the opponent was only at the Inquiry Dao Realm cultivation! Absolutely unable to wield the power of Wufeng’s sword and the Five Pieces of Stone."

"An Inquiry Dao Realm cultivator, able to sneak in and destroy Sheyin City, what on earth is Wu Yanwei doing!" The man seemed extremely furious.

Noble Sheyin City, with a powerful Ancestral Dao Realm expert overseeing it, and over a dozen ascension realm elders, along with countless Dao Palace experts maintaining order.

Yet an Inquiry Dao Realm practitioner slipped in and blew up the city!

This was a blatant slap in the face to the Dao Palace!

"How he sneaked in no longer matters, what we need to consider is, who exactly is this Inquiry Dao Realm guy?"

The two lapsed into silence once more.

They were pondering this question.

But soon, the woman spoke again.

"Although the divine pattern of the Mustard Seed in Palm was taken, at least the Heavenly Spear is complete now! A complete Heavenly Spear is no simple matter."

The woman chuckled softly, her voice melodious like pearls and jade falling on a plate.

A complete Heavenly Spear will rise a level in power, for them, destroying a city in exchange for a complete ancestral artifact is entirely acceptable!

A blessing in disguise.
