Seeking the Flying Sword Path-Chapter 729 - Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus

Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor and Qin Yun were having a stroll together as clouds lingered around them.

“Now that you have taken over the position of sect master, all matters big and small in Green Touring Palace shall be left to you to decide,” said Numinous Treasure. He had deep feelings for Green Touring Palace. After all, he had build it from nothing and guided it to its present state, turning it into a super faction in the Three Realms.

“I will definitely not let you down,” said Qin Yun reverently.

“Alright.”

Numinous Treasure said. “Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus is still hiding in the Three Realms. However, the expulsion the Three Realms is putting on us is intensifying constantly. He will definitely flee within six days. At the moment he flees, it will be time for us to leave the Three Realms. After we leave the Three Realms, we will first kill him before joining up to travel the Chaos to explore even wider regions.”

“Master, you have to be careful,” said Qin Yun immediately.

“Haha, back before I reached the Heavenly Dao realm, I had also adventured in the spatial tide,” said Numinous Treasure with a smile. “I know that even in other places, Heavenly Dao realm existences are still rare. By going together as a group, we should be quite well-rounded and safe. Besides, we will leave avatars in the Chaos outside the Three Realms.”

Qin Yun’s eyes lit up.

He was an Itinerant Immortal with many avatars. The Heavenly Dao ream existences all had their avatar arts. For instance, Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus had the female body, the male body, and the destruction body. As for Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor, he was able to split into three avatars. Buddhist Ancestor Gautama had his Body of Dharma, Body of Enjoyment, and Body of Transformation… As for Goddess Nüwa, Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, and Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor, all of them had similar means.

Their departure from the Three Realms required them to probe the massive Chaos which was filled with unknowns. Leaving an avatar in the Chaos beyond the Three Realms was a way to protect their homeworld and also as a safety mechanism.

“Elderly Lord, Primordial Beginning, and I will build a cave abode in the Chaos outside the Three Realms and we will call it Three Pure Temple. We will leave our avatars inside to stay there,” said Numinous Treasure. “If there’s anything you need, you can find me there.”

“Yes, Master.” Qin Yun answered.

“Probing the Chaos is something we have long wanted to do,” said Numinous Treasure. “We wish to find a path beyond the Heavenly Dao realm. At the same time, we also wish to find means of creating new worlds. Back then, Pangu sacrificed his life to create the Three Realms. We wish to know if it’s possible for us to do the same without sacrificing our lives.

“Due to the damage Gonggong did previously, the Three Realms have weakened too drastically. We are also worried that if the Three Realms continues its development, it will eventually meet its final destruction,” said Numinous Treasure. “If that’s the case, we need to create a new world for the countless lives in the Three Realms.”

Qin Yun was more and more impressed and reverent of his master and the rest.

Compared to the Chaos Godfiends who only knew how to derive pleasure from hunting, Goddess Nüwa, his master, and the rest truly treated the Three Realms as their homeworld and wished to protect all life within.

“Back then, Nüwa’s mending of the heavens only extended the life of the Three Realms,” said Numinous Treasure. “The change the Three Realms underwent this time is only a manifestation of the Three Realms trying to save itself. And all of you must abide by the Heavenly Dao, so as to allow the Three Realms to last longer.”

“I understand, Master,” replied Qin Yun.

Protecting all life and maintaining the existence of the Three Realms. Such huge matters were now his burden. Yang Jian and Ancestral Dragon were also considered allies of Qin Yun when it came to this.

Tenebrous Fiend Abyss.

Fiend Ancestor’s female body was walking through the void with Patriarch Blood Sea before they came to a land of mystery.

“Could this be?” Patriarch Blood Sea looked ahead in astonishment. There was a black pool of water in the void ahead which had no obvious source. It was as though it came out of nothing. The churning waters were extremely sticky and each drop of water allowed one to see all the hatred, killing, and sin that had happened before in the Three Realms.

“This is the legendary Pond of Fiend Abyss, the source of the entire Tenebrous Fiend Abyss,” said Fiend Ancestor calmly. “Whoever grasps it will be in control of all the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss and be its owner.”

Patriarch Blood Sea looked at it covetously.

In the early days, Black Lotus was an expert which manifested out of a Lotus Seed of Fate. Later, only after Pangu split the heaven and earth apart did he become the owner of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss.

After taking control of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss… he remained invincible inside. Even the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor were unable to charge in.

Even in the outside world, the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss powers augmented him, greatly increasing his strength.

“I had promised to make you owner of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss,” said Fiend Ancestor. “Go on in. Helm the entirety of Tenebrous Fiend Abyss.”

Patriarch Blood Sea felt his heart palpitate.

Although he had long heard the Fiend Ancestor’s promise, there were many conditions tied to it. Who would know that the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss would be handed over to him today.

“You have a body of Blood Sea, making you indestructible, with numerous avatars. By possessing the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss’s powers… you will be able to protect the fiendish way,” said Fiend Ancestor. “As for Boxun, he is bent on cultivating to the Heavenly Dao realm. He wouldn’t put in as much effort for the fiends as you do.”

“Fiend Ancestor, don’t worry. I will naturally do my best for the fiendish way,” said Patriarch Blood Sea immediately.

“Your true body, the Blood Sea, is inside the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, so I obviously trust you. Quickly enter,” urged Fiend Ancestor.

“Yes.”

Patriarch Blood Sea did not hesitate to step into the black pond.

As he stepped into the water, the water began to bore into his body. The hatred, killing, and sins began to affect him as Patriarch Blood Sea’s expression changed slightly, “Fiend Ancestor, this…”

“Do you think anyone can control the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss? One has to maintain his original self even under the burden of all the resentment and sin in the Three Realms,” said Fiend Ancestor. “If you can’t even maintain that, your avatar will turn into a part of the pond, but of course, I trust that you will capable of doing it.”

Fiend Ancestor was a body of Black Lotus to begin with.

A black lotus… would not be corrupted by the water.

Patriarch Blood Sea was similarly extraordinary. He had figured out the Great Dao of Sin, and fed on sin. He had deep foundations, so how could he be easily assimilated?

Fiend Ancestor’s female body stood by the side for an hour and felt her control over the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss taken away from her bit by bit. She knew that Blood Sea was about to succeed as she nodded.

“The final thing to do has been done.” Fiend Ancestor looked up into the void. “I’ve accumulated too little experience and strength when compared to those old fogies. I have always schemed to extend my time in the Three Realms to give myself more chances to cultivate, hoping to get an additional Lotus Seed of Fate or treasure formed by a Lotus Seed of Fate, but no matter what my plans were, they were inferior to the plans of the heavens! There’s only six days left. When the day comes, the Three Realms will expel all the Heavenly Dao realm existences.

“Whatever.

“Having done and schemed so much, I originally thought I had a thirty percent chance of escaping from the five fogies. But with an additional Amita, I will only have a ten percent chance of escaping… when facing the pursuit of the six of them…

“I’ll give it a try.

“I, Black Lotus, swear that if I can escape, Gautama, Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, Amita, all of you will receive payback a hundred times, a thousand times over.” Fiend Ancestor’s eyes were filled with sharpness.

“Time to go!”

With a thought, the Fiend Ancestor’s female body, male body, and destruction body instantly tore through space-time and left the Three Realms at an extremely fast speed.

Without any hesitation, he had left the Three Realms and began fleeing.

“Oh?” In Eight Scenic Palace, Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. The usually peaceful him now had an extremely sharp look in his eyes. He sensed that the Fiend Ancestor had split into three, and all three had left the Three Realms and fled in different directions.

“The Fiend Ancestor’s three bodies have fled the Three Realms in different directions?

“He sure fled snappily. But can you escape?” Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor instantly left the Three Realms.

“This Black Lotus has been wreaking havoc in the Three Realms and is filled with sin. Now, he wishes to leave? What a joke.” In Green Touring Palace, Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He too instantly left the Three Realms.

“Yang Jian, I’m leaving the Jade Void Palace to you,” Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said before he left the Three Realms.

“Amita, let’s go.”

Buddhist Ancestor Gautama and Amita left the Three Realms together.

Goddess Nüwa also took a step and left the Three Realms.

All of them had long prepared for their future days of probing the Chaos. But the first thing they needed to do was kill Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus.
