CHAPTER 1218: CHAPTER 798: SYSTEM AND DAOSHEATH_2

When Luo Shanyou mentioned Luo Yunxian, his tone immediately turned unfriendly.

Xiang Beifei knocked his head, realizing.

Unrestrained, it was to break free from the system’s shackles.

To sever the Dao meant to cut off the system.

Unrestrained was meant to sever the Dao, how could he have overlooked this?

After coming to Congji abyss, Xiang Beifei hadn’t worried about these past issues. As the younger generation, he was too lazy to meddle in the affairs of the older generation. They were all his people; favoring one over the other wouldn’t be good, so he pretended not to know; otherwise, being caught in the middle would be difficult.

He knew that Luo Shanyou and Luo Yunxian seemed to have conflicts, but he didn’t expect such contradictions.

One represented the Nine Provinces Alliance, the other the Resistance Alliance, with different perspectives and stances, no wonder neither wanted to mention the other.

"What’s wrong with my son?" Luo Shanyou asked.

"Explaining it is complicated, because concerning Jialuoluo and Unrestrained, many things I’m not too clear on."

Xiang Beifei simply recounted all the clues he knew, especially about the alien space vortex.

After hearing these words, Luo Shanyou fell silent again.

After a long time, his gaze returned to the vortex in the large cauldron, and he said: "So that’s where this power is."

"Does Uncle know this power too?"

Luo Shanyou nodded slightly: "I’ve always found the system of Jiuzhou a bit odd. At that time, my system task points were enough to break through to the Immortal Realm, but the system didn’t let me break through, I felt something was wrong."

"At that time, my cultivation in Jiuzhou had already touched the ceiling, I began to vaguely sense a power affecting Jiuzhou, affecting the system, but I never found it. Later, before I left Jiuzhou, I told my son to keep an eye on it."

Xiang Beifei solemnly said: "It seems he found it."

Luo Shanyou’s gaze fell on the large cauldron: "You mean, this vortex is connected to the Jiuzhou Archive Building, and he sealed the vortex?"

Xiang Beifei said: "I don’t know if he sealed it, but I definitely recognize the aura of this vortex."

"If so, things are complicated. The Ancestral Artifact here is connected to the Jiuzhou Archive Building, which is very important to Jiuzhou." Luo Shanyou said solemnly.

Because inside the Jiuzhou Archive Building, all personal information of Jiuzhou residents is kept; anyone’s awakened system level, cultivation, job, residence... are all recorded in detail.

And this broken large cauldron Ancestral Artifact exists in Common Valley, still under the Dao Palace’s control, so the Dao Palace might be using this large cauldron to understand every person in Jiuzhou!

Having humanity’s details thoroughly checked is by no means good!

Xiaohei said: "But Jialuoluo— I mean, Uncle Luo’s son, if this is an Ancestral Artifact, he seems not to have the ability to seal this vortex, right?"

An Ancestral Artifact is at least Ancestral Dao Realm power, not something a Heavenly Connection Realm can seal.

At this point, Hai Fuyu, who had been listening silently, spoke up: "According to what you say, it might not be so."

"Why?" Xiang Beifei looked at Hai Fuyu.

Hai Fuyu said: "Since ancient times, the Great Desolate Realm has been separated from the Edge Corner Airspace. To go to the Great Desolate Realm, power must be suppressed. It seems there’s a Heavenly Dao divine pattern protecting that place, so other Ancestral Artifact powers trying to affect there must likely follow that boundary of power."

"In other words, this side’s vortex power can reach Ancestral Dao Realm, but on the other side can only reach the highest power allowed. If Jialuoluo is already a peak strong person over there, then he has the ability to seal the vortex on that side."

This explanation made sense, but another issue couldn’t be ignored.

"Did the Dao Palace create this vortex channel with the large cauldron Ancestral Artifact specifically to deal with Jiuzhou humanity? Do they know about the human system?" Xiaohei asked.

"What do you mean by the human system? I don’t remember the Human Race having such a thing." Hai Fuyu asked.

"We don’t know how it came, it just seemed like suddenly the system existed on humans, accompanying everyone." Xiang Beifei said.

Hai Fuyu nodded with understanding: "From what you say, it seems the system limits your development. But have you considered another possibility, that perhaps it’s the system that has helped you survive in the Great Desolate Realm?"

"What? Is there such a saying?" Xiaohei asked in surprise.

Hai Fuyu said: "I’ve slept for too long, not clear about what happened over the past hundred thousand years, but I can firmly tell you, a hundred thousand years ago, among the nine major races of the Edge Corner Airspace, the Human Race was the most powerful. Humans cultivated much faster than other races."

He was quite sure of humanity’s talent.

"The Great Desolate Realm seems more like a primitive, undeveloped land; its creatures are quite weak. I’ve never heard of the Human Race going to the Great Desolate Realm, leaving the comfortable Edge Corner Airspace, what for? Limiting themselves? Humans wouldn’t be that foolish unless forced."

Xiang Beifei suddenly realized: "Could it be, humans of the Great Desolate Realm, including Jiuzhou, escaped from Edge Corner Airspace?"

A hundred thousand years ago, after a battle, the Dao Palace won, and the Human Race began being massacred by the Dao Palace, fleeing and hiding in Edge Corner Airspace, almost having no place to stand.

If part of humanity went to escape pursuit by the Dao Palace, then they would only live in places the Dao Palace itself wouldn’t go.

And the Great Desolate Realm was clearly the only choice given the circumstances then!

But humans over at Edge Corner Airspace couldn’t easily go to the Great Desolate Realm, as a strong power there restricted them.

Xiaohei’s eyes revolved, exclaiming: "So, the system, could it be like an alternative Daosheath? Meaning, the system helped humanity survive in the Great Desolate Realm, and without it, they couldn’t live there?"

Luo Shanyou also realized: "The saying of Daosheath seems somewhat plausible."

Coming from Jiuzhou, but after severing the Dao, losing the system, he could no longer return to the Great Desolate Realm.

Yet soon, Xiaohei asked confused: "But over three thousand years ago, the Hanxia humans at Floating Immortal Isles didn’t have a system."

"They had a Dao embryo! Back then, the Dao embryo was probably the system’s prototype, maybe it hadn’t yet become a system."

Xiang Beifei had been to Floating Immortal Isles, not knowing why he ended up three thousand years back, meeting his grandfather, who then was only of Heavenly Connection Realm cultivation.

But in fact, Xiang Qingde might not have only been of Heavenly Connection Realm!

He was forced to be of Heavenly Connection Realm!

And Xiang Qingde’s senior brother, Daoist Qingyang, before dying, instructed Xiang Qingde with all his might to protect the Human Race’s Dao embryo, saying it was humanity’s hope?

For without Dao embryo, humans would face destructive blows, unable to survive in the Great Desolate Realm!

"So by this, Daoist Qingyang was very likely not only Immortal Realm, his power might have been stronger. But upon reaching the Great Desolate Realm, he suppressed himself to Heavenly Connection Realm. Later, the Eternal Night Demon King and Demon Tentacle King invaded, they might have been born Immortal Realm experts of the Great Desolate Realm, or sent by the Dao Palace, able to temporarily exert Immortal Realm power, surpassing the Heavenly Connection Realm Daoist Qingyang."

"Daoist Qingyang, to protect the Human Race, had to use power beyond Heavenly Connection Realm to kill the Demon Tentacle King and Eternal Night Demon King, but met with destructive blows from the Great Desolate Realm’s Heavenly Dao power, leading to his demise!"

Xiang Beifei gradually sorted out the entire matter.

Back when he met Daoist Qingyang, his own power was too weak, not even reaching Heavenly Connection Realm, so he couldn’t discern why Daoist Qingyang was injured; now on reflection, realizing Daoist Qingyang’s wounds were peculiar.

If he could wield burning Yang and burning Yin, he shouldn’t let his body get out of balance, only one possibility remained, that he was severely injured by Heavenly Dao power, causing an imbalance of Yin and Yang in himself!
