Chapter 1294: Chapter 836: The Fifth Brick’s Whereabouts (Part 2)

"I’m not sure, maybe it’s some kind of hidden Heavenly Dao laws, only the Heavenly Dao can keep us from getting close no matter what."

Xiang Beifei was quite certain about this.

"That’s strange. This place in the Edge Corner Airspace actually exists. Is it specially meant to hide the Fifth Slab?" Youmong asked.

Xiang Beifei didn’t quite know either. The Edge Corner Airspace is too vast, and it’s impossible for him to be familiar with every place. There are still many areas in this world that he cannot reach.

But if he couldn’t get close, he would have no way to get his slab, which he couldn’t tolerate.

However, just then, he suddenly sensed something, turned his head, and waves rippled through the distant void, followed by a powerful aura sweeping over.

It was an Ancestral Dao Realm expert!

Xiang Beifei frowned but wasn’t panicked, because he traveled the Edge Corner Airspace relying on the concealment of Yin-Yang source energy, so he wasn’t worried about being discovered.

Light flashed in his eyes as he looked in the direction of the aura and saw a Dao embryo flashing by ahead.

[Dao Executor: Wu Shipo]

[Dao Embryo: Houtu Tribe]

[Realm: Early Ancestral Dao]

"Isn’t this guy supposed to be guarding outside the City of No Pretense? Why did he come here?" Xiaohei asked in confusion.

Since the appearance of the City of No Pretense, there had been Ancestral Dao Realm experts monitoring outside the Dao Palace. Xiang Beifei discovered Wu Shipo’s presence early on when seven Dao Stones appeared in the City of No Pretense two days ago.

But he didn’t mind this guy because his goal was to infuriate the Dao Palace.

He didn’t expect that this guy would actually head this way.

"Why did he come here?" Xiang Beifei wondered.

Wu Shipo didn’t reveal himself; he transformed into a stream of light, silently shuttling through the void. Soon the space rippled, and he disappeared into a patch of the void.

"Huh? He’s gone?" Erha looked around.

"Did he go far? How did he disappear?" Youmong wondered.

"No, he hasn’t gone far. His speed shouldn’t be that fast. He has disappeared into this space."

Xiang Beifei, also an Ancestral Dao Realm expert, would have known if the other party had outrun him with speed, but that wasn’t the case here.

Xiaohei asked, "Then how did he disappear?"

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment and realized something, saying, "I understand now, this should be Shezheng City!"

"What kind of place is Shezheng City?" Erha asked.

"It’s one of Dao Palace’s strongholds," Xiang Beifei said.

The Dao Palace’s envoy, Ge Hengzi, had mentioned the three main cities of the Dao Palace.

Sheyin City, Sheyang City, Shezheng City!

The three main cities are the centers of the Dao Palace, where all orders of the Dao Palace are issued. Among them, Sheyin and Sheyang Cities are visible cities, each guarded by a powerful Ancestral Artifact.

Xiang Beifei had been to Sheyin City once and had caused quite a turmoil there, and he knew where Sheyang City was but hadn’t visited it.

As for Shezheng City.

This city is very mysterious; not a single race in the Edge Corner Airspace knows its location, even Ge Hengzi isn’t clear about its whereabouts.

According to Ge Hengzi, only some special people can enter Shezheng City.

"This place is so peculiar; now it seems it must be Shezheng City," Xiang Beifei stared into the void ahead.

The location pointed by the Heavenly Dao Map pointed here, but he had repeatedly failed to pinpoint the direction. Now seeing the Ancestral Dao Realm expert Wu Shipo disappearing here, the reason was clear.

"So, the Fifth Slab is in the hands of the Dao Palace?" Xiaohei frowned.

The Dao Palace had too many Ancestral Artifacts, collecting them everywhere, and unexpectedly, the slab was one of them.

Erha cracked his knuckles and said, "Let’s sneak in and steal it back!"

"We can’t get in."

Xiang Beifei had tried many times just now.

"Can’t you disguise yourself?" Erha asked.

"It’s obvious that some Heavenly Dao law protects this place, making disguise difficult."

Although Xiang Beifei was very powerful, confronting the Heavenly Dao laws head-on was not feasible.

Many Ancestral Artifacts impose Heavenly Dao laws far more formidable than him.

Much like the Great Desolate Realm, he could not traverse freely.

Shezheng City, as the stronghold of the Dao Palace, its guarding force is probably stronger than the Heavenly Dao laws of the Great Desolate Realm.

Breaking in was impossible; Xiang Beifei knew he didn’t have the capacity to face all the Dao Palace experts. Even his grandfather had been injured fighting fifteen Ancestral Dao Realm experts at once, demonstrating just how powerful the Dao Palace truly was.

Especially the leader of the Dao Palace, Houtu!

Even now, Xiang Beifei didn’t know what the person looked like, but he was very clear that this person would be very difficult to deal with!

"Damn it, not being able to get the Fifth Slab back is too frustrating," Erha cursed.

Xiang Beifei looked at the void for a moment, then took out a bronze piece sealed by the Willow Constellation, placing it on the Heavenly Dao Map.

Buzz!

The bronze piece emitted a golden stream of light, and then a white light spot appeared again on the scroll, connecting with the golden stream from the bronze piece!

And the position of this light spot was surprisingly close to the position of the slab.

Xiang Beifei tried the half jade of the Star Constellation again, finding that the white light spot connected to the half jade appeared in the same way.

"Could it be that the Ancestral artifact body of this half jade and the bronze piece are also in the Dao Palace’s hands?" Xiaohei asked.

"They’re too sly, keeping so many Ancestral Artifacts in their hands," Erha said.

"The Dao Palace has ruled the Edge Corner Airspace for ten thousand years; collecting so many Ancestral Artifacts is quite normal. Luckily, they don’t have the Heavenly Dao Map, or otherwise, all Ancestral Artifacts under the sky would belong to them," Xiaohei said.

Youmong asked, "So what do we do now? They have our Ancestral Artifact fragments, and we have three of their Ancestral Artifact fragments. Do we trade?"

A trade.

This was a feasible plan.

Xiang Beifei had made such trades before; last time in Sheyin City, he had traded with the fragment of the litian spear.

Currently, they have the Five-stringed Qin, bronze shard, and half a jade, these three Ancestral Artifact fragments. Of course, there’s also the litian spear, the Ancestral Artifact that wasn’t willing to yield.

The other side has the Wufeng broken sword, Jiuzhou’s three-legged cauldron, slab, Human Dao Ancestral Artifact, Giant Spirit Dao Ancestral Artifact.

Including the Giant Spirit Dao Ancestral Artifact is due to his promise to the old Giant Spirit to restore the presence of the Giant Spirit Race in this world. Moreover, the old Giant Spirit is very powerful, and having the Giant Spirit Race in the Edge Corner Airspace would be a great asset.

As for the Human Dao Ancestral Artifact fragments, Xiang Beifei couldn’t determine what they looked like, but they were also crucial.

When trading, the post-risk of the trade must be taken into account.

Having witnessed the strength of the complete litian spear at Common Valley, Xiang Beifei knew that if the Dao Palace got three complete Ancestral Artifacts, it would only strengthen them more, making them harder to deal with later.

"I just worry they refuse to trade; the Human Dao Artifact and Giant Spirit Artifact don’t seem like they would exchange these," Xiaohei said.

The Human Race has always been the Dao Palace’s major concern.

Because the cultivation talent of the Human Race is generally extremely powerful; in the Edge Corner Airspace’s Heaven and Earth Ranking, reaching Immortal Realm within five hundred years, being on the Earth Ranking within a thousand years, and on the Heaven Ranking within three thousand years is considered extraordinarily talented.

But the Human Race individuals are incredible.

Not to mention Xiang Beifei himself, even Luo Shanyou and Fu Yuzi alone could easily outperform the Heaven and Earth Ranking geniuses; even more important, these two aren’t even five hundred years old, yet their cultivation has already reached the ascension realm!

If any race could overthrow the Dao Palace, it would certainly be the Human Race.

This is also why the Dao Palace aims to suppress and eradicate the Human Race, to prevent them from rising.

So expecting them to trade the Human Dao Ancestral Artifact is probably unlikely.

As for the Giant Spirit Race, it’s almost the same. Not to mention their huge stature and thick skin and flesh, just having the old Giant Spirit standing there is enough to give the Dao Palace a headache; they’re not likely to hand over the Giant Spirit Dao Ancestral Artifact.

Xiang Beifei weighed the bronze piece and half jade in his hand, pondering for a while, and said, "Unless the Ancestral Artifact fragments we have are really important to them, or say—we offer a bigger chip."

"What bigger chips do we have?" Erha asked naively.

"We have the entire Common Valley’s Ancestral Artifacts!" Xiang Beifei said.
