Chapter 485 - 255: Hunting the Gods, the Complete Tier 10 Life Cultivation Technique
"Revenge? What do you mean by that?!"
The old man with vines growing on his head trembled upon hearing this.
Wang Xiao said calmly,
"You’ve been guarding this place for so many years. You should know the answer by now."
A sad look appeared in the old man’s eyes.
"The... the Ancestor... is he really dead?!"
Wang Xiao said,
"As long as one has not transcended the river of Time, then even the gods will die sooner or later!"
"Otherwise, why would the gods fight so viciously over the Door of All Marvels Fragments?!"
Although the old man knew his ancestor’s fate was likely grim, he still couldn’t help but weep bitter tears upon hearing Wang Xiao’s words.
"Ancestor, oh, Ancestor... Back then, it was to protect our people that the Ancestor was ambushed and betrayed by those gods."
"It is the turn of the times, the will of fate. The calamity of the Three Realms and Six Dao was long overdue. Perhaps Heaven could no longer stand the filth in the world and wishes to cleanse it anew!"
Wang Xiao didn’t reply, simply standing to the side and listening quietly.
After a moment, the old man wiped away his tears and said,
"Ah, my apologies. I lost my composure."
"It seems you came here because you received the Ancestor’s call."
He could sense that Wang Xiao, like him, was a Primordial Spirit born of Heaven and Earth.
So, he knew Wang Xiao’s visit was likely not malicious.
He hadn’t been sent by those gods.
After all—their ancestral planet of Primordial Spirits born of Heaven and Earth had long since been visited by those gods, who had turned it upside down.
Even after ten thousand years, this ancestral planet remained dilapidated and lifeless.
There was no need to send someone to test him again.
Wang Xiao said,
"You could say that. I just ascended to the Outer Heaven. I followed the Fixed Star Disc left behind by the senior and spent some time getting here."
The old man’s expression was one of surprise upon hearing this.
"Just ascended? I remember the time for the great upheaval in the Lower Realm’s Heaven and Earth has not yet arrived. Without a connection between the Door of All Marvels Fragments, the passage between the two realms cannot be opened. How did you ascend?!"
Wang Xiao said lightly,
"It’s simple. I have refined a portion of the Door of All Marvels Fragments and, by emulating the Creator Gods’ act of Creation, was able to open the passage between the realms."
"Of course, this involves some of my secrets, which I cannot detail."
The old man pressed his lips together and didn’t ask further, sighing with admiration,
"So that’s how it is. Incredible, truly incredible. The younger generation is truly formidable!"
Wang Xiao said,
"I received some benefits from your senior, so I don’t mind repaying him by helping him get revenge for that ambush!"
"Therefore, I need to understand in advance what the current situation is in the Starry Sky Center."
Only then did the old man say,
"What other situation could there be? Ever since those so-called gods ambushed the Ancestor back then, they too have been mired in chaotic warfare."
"Over the past ten thousand years, several more Creator Gods have fallen."
"However, one of the gods who ambushed the Ancestor was named Xuanyuan Zhantian. His true form is that of an Artifact Spirit. Back then, his strength was on par with the Ancestor’s, and even among the gods, he was one of the foremost!"
"He has now obtained many Door of All Marvels Fragments and has roped in a portion of the gods who possess them. It seems he’s plotting something."
A glint appeared in Wang Xiao’s eyes.
"Do you know where this group of gods who possess the Door of All Marvels Fragments are now?!"
He currently had a total of five Door of All Marvels Fragments in his possession.
However, they weren’t complete.
He needed to gather the other Door of All Marvels Fragments to restore the Door of All Wonders to its complete form.
This would allow him to unleash the power of the Door of All Wonders to its fullest extent.
The only problem was that Wang Xiao couldn’t sense the locations of the other fragments with the Door of All Marvels Fragments he currently held.
Therefore, he first had to find the other gods who possessed Door of All Marvels Fragments.
Furthermore, after finding these gods, he could also deduce a suitable Tier Ten Life Cultivation Technique for himself from their own Cultivation Techniques.
Killing two birds with one stone.
The old man said,
"That, I do not know. However, you can head to the Omen Star. That planet is guarded by Xuanyuan Zhantian’s confidant, Yan."
"This person is also an Artifact Spirit, but his strength is not considered too great. If you can subdue him, you might learn of Xuanyuan Zhantian’s plans and the whereabouts of the gods under his command."
Wang Xiao couldn’t help but ask,
"Where is this Omen Star?"
The old man said,
"If you would please give me the Ancestor’s Fixed Star Disc, I can mark the location on it for you."
Wang Xiao handed over the Fixed Star Disc.
The old man took it, formed a Seal with his hand, and tapped the Fixed Star Disc a few times.
In an instant, a flashing red dot appeared on the Fixed Star Disc.
"This is the Omen Star. However, it is extremely far from here. Even for a god, the journey would likely take several years," the old man said.
Wang Xiao took back the Fixed Star Disc and glanced at the general location.
In an instant, the Fixed Star Disc displayed the bearing and distance.
It was roughly several dozen light-years away from this part of Heaven and Earth.
However, Wang Xiao’s current speed was extremely fast. At this distance, if he pushed it, he could arrive in a matter of days.
"Alright, then I’ll take my leave. Is there anything else you need me to do?!" Wang Xiao couldn’t help but ask.
The old man sighed.
"The Ancestor has already passed on. I have nothing left to hope for. I only wish you a safe journey."
Although he and Wang Xiao had just met, they were both beings born of Heaven and Earth.
In a way, they could be considered brothers.
Therefore, he naturally hoped that Wang Xiao could go further.
To fulfill the Ancestor’s final, unfulfilled wish.
As for revenge... he knew Xuanyuan Zhantian’s power all too well. He was a figure that even the Ancestor had been wary of.
