Chapter 1352: Fragment of the Heavenly Dao

Obtain the fragment of the Heavenly Dao?

An expression of disbelief washed over An Lin’s face when he heard this.

He had initially thought that the mission would be to retrieve some treasure. Big Boss, is it really good to ask for so much right off the bat?

Although he didn’t know what this fragment of the Heavenly Dao was, anything that involved the “Heavenly Dao” was inherently complex and hard to deal with!

An Lin took a deep breath before asking, “What’s this fragment of the Heavenly Dao?”

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue drew a finger through the air. Then, a white fragment appeared on the galaxies below them.

It reflected the hundreds of millions of galaxies at times, and it appeared like a galactic mirror. At other times, however, it fused into the hundreds of millions of galaxies and appeared as though it had returned to nothingness.

“The fragment of the Heavenly Dao is just like this mirror. It’s real and tangible, yet at the same time, it’s illusory and ethereal,” the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue explained.

“These fragments are part of the Heavenly Dao that scattered down when the Purple Star Civilization tore a hole into the heavens. The scattered Heavenly Dao is separated into two categories—the physical fragment of the Heavenly Dao, which represents that which is physically tangible, and the power of the Heavenly Dao, which represents the dao.

“The fragment of the Heavenly Dao received summoning from the Realm Heart of the Tai Chu Continent and thus landed within the Divine Source Continent. It evolved the beings of that continent and allowed the continent to level up from an intermediate-rank continent to a high-rank continent. As such, the beings of that continent worship the fragment of the Heavenly Dao as a divine realm treasure.

“Your mission is to retrieve this fragment from the Divine Source Continent and bring it back to me.”

An Lin became even more startled upon hearing this. “Find the Heavenly Dao that scattered down from the hole in the heavens? Are you also a member of the Heaven Mending Sect?”

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue shook his head and smiled. “I’m not a member of either side. However, I feel that Nuwa’s plan is more to my tastes. So, I merely feel like helping her a little.”

An Lin nodded. “Rest assured, Senior. I’ll definitely complete this mission!”

At the same time, he sighed in his mind. I didn’t want to involve myself with the Heaven Mending Sect or the Heaven Crushing Sect or whatnot. Who would’ve thought that I’d be mysteriously dragged into the Heaven Mending Sect’s plans again…

Perhaps this is fate?

The look of approval in the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue’s eyes became even stronger when he saw An Lin’s unwavering determination. He knew why An Lin had agreed to his request so readily. That was because, in An Lin’s mind, no amount of danger or difficulty was as significant as regenerating his dao partner’s cultivation base.

Since he had reconstructed Xu Xiaolan’s dao foundation, An Lin would help him complete this task unconditionally.

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue waved a hand. Immediately afterward, An Lin and Yi Xi arrived above a vast white sea.

“This is… White Nectar Sea?” An Lin was astonished as he observed his surroundings.

The milky-white sea reflected the two dazzling moons in the sky. The fusion of red and white colors gave off a bizarre and dreamy glow.

A light sea breeze brought with it a hint of refreshing fragrance. This was completely different from the briny smell of other seas.

“That’s right, this is White Nectar Sea, the central region of the Tai Chu Continent.” The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue nodded and tapped a finger toward the sea. The wavy sea suddenly separated, revealing a gigantic void beneath it.

The three people quickly descended into the void.

After traveling for dozens of kilometers, An Lin finally saw a glowing blue spell formation appear before them. This spell formation enveloped an area of thousands of kilometers in radius, and the aura that it emitted was vast and limitless. Its energy fluctuations were also terrifying, and it seemed as though a small tremble from it would be sufficient to incinerate a supreme being of the Return to Void Stage.

The rank of this spell formation was definitely above the Dao Integration Stage.

“This is the White Nectar Life and Death Spell Formation that I forged alongside the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure,” the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue explained. “It’s capable of annihilating super mighty beings of the Dao Integration Stage. The first reason for forging this spell formation was to prevent beings of the Tai Chu Continent from vandalizing the spatial passageway. The second reason was to obliterate any beings who tried to cross over to the Tai Chu Continent from the Divine Source Continent.”

An Lin’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. This spell formation was forged by the Daoist Trinity? Its rank is even higher than what I have anticipated!

The three of them continued their descent after passing through the spell formation without any issues.

A short while later, they arrived on the head of a ginormous jellyfish.

The jellyfish measured hundreds of thousands of feet in length, and its semi-transparent body was sprawled out in the sea. It looked much like a mini-continent, and its countless tentacles were like dancing dragons as they moved in the sea.

This was truly a colossal being.

However, An Lin couldn’t feel any trace of aura radiating from it whatsoever.

“Is this… a puppet?” An Lin murmured.

“That’s right. It’s a spatial passageway mechanism. I used the corpse of a Dao Integration Stage Depraved Cloud Reincarnation Jellyfish to forge this puppet.”

An Lin silently gulped. Such a massive investment!

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue opened up the head of the jellyfish and calmly walked in. He finally stopped when he reached the center of its head. Resting before him was a gigantic golden gate.

“This is the gate that connects the two continents.” Two golden crystals appeared in the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue’s hands. “It can be said that the Divine Source Continent is a Great World that resides within the Tai Chu Continent. However, due to the effects of the fragment of the Heavenly Dao, this passageway has become extremely hard to open up. After absorbing the energy contained within these golden crystals, you two will be able to pass through this gate and arrive at the Divine Source Continent.

“It took thousands of years for Nuwa and me to find these two crystals. You two must treasure this opportunity.” After saying this, the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue tossed the two crystals to An Lin and Yi Xi.

After searching for so long, these two super mighty beings only found two such crystals?

An Lin’s expression changed once again. This opportunity to enter the Divine Source Continent was countless times more valuable than what he had initially thought!

“To be honest, An Lin, I had wanted to wait until your cultivation base reached the Return to Void Final Stage. However, we don’t have enough time…” An anxious look flashed across the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue’s eyes.

“Rest assured, Senior. After ranking up to the Return to Void Stage, I’m confident that I can defeat all supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage!” An Lin patted his chest confidently.

“But it’s very likely that there are Dao Integration Stage cultivators in there.” The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue chuckled.

An Lin: “…”

“I-It should still be fine…” An Lin took a deep breath. “Even if they’re of the Dao Integration Stage, I still won’t be afraid…”

Although he said this, a string of curses was already racing through his mind. F*cking sh*t! Only cultivators under the rank of Dao Integration Stage can enter this passageway, yet the continent on the opposite end has a super mighty being of the Dao Integration Stage holding the fort?

How the hell am I meant to carry out the mission?

“Haha, An Lin, I also believe that you can succeed. I’m very confident in your abilities. Moreover, Yi Xi, my good disciple, is also an outstanding cultivator among Return to Void Stage cultivators. At the very least, when we were deciding on a person for this mission, he defeated all nine Return to Void Pinnacle Stage cultivators under Nuwa’s command…

“He can probably provide you with a little help.”

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue grinned broadly.

Outstanding among Return to Void Stage cultivators? Defeated nine of Nuwa’s Return to Void Pinnacle Stage underlings?

An Lin grimaced in surprise as he looked toward the fatty beside him. “Yi Xi, who would’ve thought! You’re so fat, yet you’re still so strong. Indeed, a book cannot be judged by its cover…”

“I’m not fat!” Yi Xi retorted. “This is the supreme manifestation of alchemy!”

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue stroked his beard and chuckled. “I must thank a certain Alchemy Patriach for enlightening my disciple and allowing him to become so much stronger…”

As he said this, he turned to smile at An Lin.

An Lin exchanged an awkward glance with the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue.

His expression was as if he were an innocent little bunny.

The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue felt his chest tighten. Does An Lin really not have any self-awareness?

He had almost been scared to death when he first saw his ball-like disciple. He had thought that his disciple was about to explode…

“Fine, you two can enter the Divine Source Continent now. I wish you both luck.” The Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue tapped at the void, and the spatial gate started radiating brilliantly.

Then, the gate opened!
