CHAPTER 1203: CHAPTER 791: SEEKING WOOD’S ROOTS

The Dao Palace took away the Human Race’s Human Ancestral Artifact, which means the destiny of the Human Race is now in the hands of the Dao Palace. This is absolutely not allowed.

Xiang Beifei needs to identify which ancestral artifact has sealed the Human Divine Pattern, and then retrieve it.

Even if retrieval is impossible, the fragments must be found, and should not fall into the hands of the Dao Palace.

"Your Giant Spirit Race does not belong to either side, why did you come here suddenly this time?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Feng snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to the huge black water sphere in front: "We were suppressed here for countless ages, why shouldn’t we come here?"

His gaze was sharp, filled with anger and resentment, without any disguise.

"Was it the Dao Palace that suppressed you?" Luo Shanyou asked.

"It was the Xuanming Tribe that assisted the Houtu Tribe in the suppression," Feng said.

Xiaohei asked suspiciously, "The Xuanming Tribe belongs to the aquatic race, are they in league with the Houtu Tribe?"

"But I remember the Xuanming Tribe has also gone extinct," Luo Shanyou said.

Currently in the Edge Corner Airspace, there is no Xuanming Race, and even Ruishui River is rare, only visible in Common Valley, hardly existing elsewhere in the Edge Corner Airspace.

"That’s because the Houtu Tribe stabbed the Xuanming Tribe in the back!" Feng said disdainfully, "The Houtu Tribe has immense ambition, the Xuanming Tribe naively thought they could trust them, how laughable!"

During the wars ten thousand years ago among the nine major tribes, temporary cooperation may occur, but in race wars, there are never eternal allies. Once objectives are reached, alliances are swiftly broken.

The Xuanming Race was eliminated just like that.

"Did they use this stele for suppression back then?"

A faint light flashed in Xiang Beifei’s hand, and a simple, unadorned stele appeared.

The Yu Divine Stele!

Feng’s gaze instantly revealed a hint of ferocity, staring intently at the Yu Divine Stele, appearing extremely apprehensive of it.

Xiang Beifei was not very surprised by Feng’s reaction, merely asking, "How could this stele suppress your Giant Spirit Race? Your Giant Spirit Race’s cultivation of the Giant Spirit Dao shouldn’t be inside the stele, right?"

Feng and another companion exchanged glances, their eyes appeared cold, but they did not directly answer Xiang Beifei’s question.

However, Xiang Beifei figured it out: "I understand now, this Yu Divine Stele must contain some kind of Heavenly Dao that specifically restrains your Giant Spirit Race’s weakness, correct?"

"You should return the stele to us," Feng said harshly.

His body even emanated a strong hostility, directly targeting Xiang Beifei.

"Return it to you?" Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow slightly, "This isn’t yours, and I am not your enemy either! I don’t need to return it."

"If the Yu Divine Stele contains a Heavenly Dao controlling the Human Race’s weakness, what will you do?" Feng said deeply.

"Indeed," Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.

In a reversed situation, if the other party possessed an ancestral artifact restraining the Human Race’s weakness, Xiang Beifei would certainly take it without hesitation!

No one wants their vital points controlled by others. A Heavenly Dao divine pattern targeting one’s own race’s weaknesses can only be safely controlled in one’s own hands.

But Xiang Beifei will not compromise.

"Your purpose here, I think, is not just to ask for the Yu Divine Stele back," Xiang Beifei said.

"How do you know we are not?" Another Giant Spirit bellowed deeply.

"Because Elder Father Pu did not ask me for this stele. If he truly wanted it, he could have taken it back at the Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave, no need to send you here to find me," Xiang Beifei calmly stated.

The old Giant Spirit is an expert of Ancestral Dao Realm, completely overpowering Xiang Beifei. Yet when Xiang Beifei displayed the Yu Divine Stele, the old Giant Spirit did nothing, indicating he is not worried about the stele in Xiang Beifei’s possession.

The two Giant Spirits exchanged a glance with unfocused eyes.

After a while, they withdrew their hostility.

"We’ll keep an eye on your stele," Feng said coldly.

"Now can you answer, why are you revisiting this place?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Feng walked towards Xiang Beifei until reaching the cliff edge, looking at the floating massive Ruishui River, saying: "To retrieve something."

"What thing?"

"You needn’t worry about that, we’ll handle it ourselves," Feng replied.

But Xiang Beifei looked contemplatively at the Yu Divine Stele in his hand, and said: "I also need to retrieve something; perhaps we share a common purpose."

"What will you retrieve?"

"Fragments of the Yu Divine Stele."

"Fragments of the Yu Divine Stele? This ancestral artifact is incomplete?" Feng asked in surprise.

"You didn’t know?" Xiang Beifei said.

Feng said deeply, "The clan leader never mentioned it."

"Then allow me to tell you, it is incomplete," Xiang Beifei also turned his gaze to the Ruishui River.

The Yu Divine Stele, unlike the Wufeng brick, has always been a stable ancestral artifact. Even when meeting its kind, it won’t come out for battle, having a peaceful nature.

However, it did react somewhat when the Common Valley opened. Even after entering, its reaction wasn’t as dramatic as Wufeng and the brick.

Just arriving here, the Yu Divine Stele reacted slightly more intensely, but only slightly.

Feng pondered for a moment, no longer asking questions, simply signaling to his companion: "Zhai Kong, prepare to enter the water."

The other Giant Spirit nodded slightly, walked to the edge of the cliff, massaging his muscles and bones.

"I hate this daosheath; in the clan, anyone under six hundred feet tall is considered short and crammed into less than five feet height," the Giant Spirit named Zhai Kong said gruffly.
