1009 Words
Ren Shen? Her name was Ren Shen? Zi Yingjun thought this is a rare coincidence. His first disciple was named Ren Shen and Zi Clan's ancestor was Ren Shen but their ancestor's name surnamed her descendants Zi because of the pure bloodline they inherited from her. If Ren Shen was the Ancestral Symbol's creator, it makes sense since she brought it in the cave by Da Long Mountain's foot. Also, she is Zi Clan's ancestor as well. But, what does Rong Qian wants to achieve? Finding the source of Chaos Dao? In an elf tribe? Elf tribes were not brutal. In fact, they were the most harmonized race all over the world.
"I still didn't find it." Zi Yingjun shook his head. Ren Shen patted his shoulder.
"You're just making an excuse to get a score with the tribe leader's daughter. However, you must remember you are a human and she is an elf. Miss You Song hates humans. She still see your kind as slaves." she can tell Rong Qian was interested to the eccentric You Song. Unfortunately, human race is the lowest kin of all during this era. "If Miss You Song won't do, I will do you a favor and let you marry one of my sisters. Additionally, we can turn you as one of us. Our demon race is not a snob like the God Clan. What do you say?"
"No, thank you." Zi Yingjun declined. It figures. He have Harmony because this tribe have the greatest source of Chaos Dao too. Maybe his mission here is to find it. But why is Rong Qian looking for the source?
While Zi Yingjun discovered more of the realm's structure, Zi Qing He already found the Chaos Dao beneath the tribe. It was what You Song's clan is trying to protect. Zi Qing He looked at Chaos who nodded to her. She reaches to the source but she was pushed back. A black shadow appeared from the source that quickly vanished. Her brows furrowed. Why is it refusing her?
"Your attribute is not suitable for chaos." the entity approached her and explained. "Your new body is suited for harmony. No wonder Rong Qian took an interest with You Song. Cant you see? He is trying to achieve something by any means possible. And perhaps, he is already planning to take it away. What do you think was it?"
"Zi Yingjun is a devil. Im sure he is after this source too." she glanced at the source floating above the dusty ground. Zi Qing He was reflected from its transparent barrier. "How can I take it? Once I get this source, he will be powerless and I can defeat him."
"You cant take the source unless you practice dark cultivation." it looked blankly at Zi Qing He. From Chaos's eyes was Zi Yingjun.
"The source was well hidden and they used Red Shen to cover it up. There should be a way." he thought in circles with Harmony hovering silently around him. Zi Yingjun's eyes flashed. Either he gets out of character, as long as he get that source and defeat Zi Qing He, it will benefit him. The Ancestral Symbol is right in front of him. All he have to do is to get rid of the hands trying to grab it from him.
Ren Shen finished setting up that night. She was puzzled to see Zi Yingjun coming back. "Hey, Rong Qian, why so late to come and visit me?" she playfully asked. Zi Yingjun lifted a mysterious smile.
"I know where the source is." he started. Ren Shen shook her head.
"You cant take it. If you cant control the source, the whole tribe will be possessed with chaos." Ren Shen huffed. She looked back to the door when Zi Yingjun broke the barrier she made. Her eyes widened. "You! How did you break it? You're not even a supreme rune grandmaster!"
"A little outside help." Zi Yingjun lifted his hand. His divine sense was floating on his palm like a whisk of light before it attacked the other runes around them. He was free to enter while Ren Shen was dumbfounded.
"Wait, divine sense? This is not any ordinary divine sense... Its even stronger than mine! Rong Qian, what did you do?" she frowned. Zi Yingjun opened the door and paused.
"Of course, its not ordinary. That is from a Celestial Life Stage's divine sense." he replied and closed the door with a light thud. Ren Shen can only gasp in surprise. She thought that realm was nonexistent!
"Male Inheritor, think this through. Don't you want my power? I had defeated Chaos for millions of years but you are still after such destructive power?" Harmony tried to persuade him but Zi Yingjun paid little attention to the entity. He reached the underground where roots are protruding and dusts are scattered. The source is already in front of him.
"You have defeated Chaos but it never disappeared. No matter how hard people struggle to gain peace, there is always a heavy price to pay to stop chaos for a period of time. Only for a period of time." Zi Yingjun held his hand forth. The source flew towards him and vanished in his palm. Finally, its over.
Bam!
A dark ray of light appeared from the ground and shot to the sky. The ground shook heavily as a young man floated in the middle of the black ray. Zi Qing He gritted her teeth. She brought out You Song's elite armament and sauntered to the ray's direction. For some reason, she was unaffected by the catastrophe. Everyone else just collapsed and writhed in pain. Aside from Ren Shen who stood in front of the ray.
"Rong Qian, you really are a greedy human." she helplessly smiled. Ren Shen turned her back to leave. "Or should I say, my descendant. You are doing something risky yet you want the reward after it. Heh, demonic cultivators. All the same, just for the grand prize held by death."
