"Immortality seems to have no return?" Xiang Beifei said in surprise. For more chapters visıt 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
He Yunfang nodded slightly and said, "As we all know, the order established by the Dao Palace began around one hundred thousand years ago. Back then, the Edge Corner Airspace was inhabited by many ancient tribes, extremely powerful ancient tribes that controlled abundant breath soil resources."
Xiang Beifei had already learned about this history.
One hundred thousand years ago, the tribes could be described as flourishing like a hundred flowers, yet the stronger the tribe, the more they desired to control the entire Edge Corner Airspace. The friction and battles among tribes were endless, frequently leading to great wars through alliances.
Initially, it was just a clash among a few major tribes, but later it affected the interests of other tribes, drawing in more and more smaller tribes until the entire war erupted, forming nine factions.
The Dao Palace emerged as the final victor of this battle.
The once mighty ancient tribes were defeated, suffering devastating damage, some choosing to retire from the world, while others were completely annihilated. However, the relics left by these tribes still lingered in the world.
After all, these relics were protected by various powerful ancient formations, even the Dao Palace couldn’t seize them as their own.
"Doesn’t the Dao Palace have experts in the Ancestral Dao Realm, would they leave these relics alone?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"I wasn’t born yet during that battle a hundred thousand years ago, and I didn’t experience it. But it’s said that many relics have special protections, almost all the protective measures are specifically targeted against people from the Dao Palace! As soon as you enter as someone from Dao Palace, you would suffer terrifying attacks." He Yunfang explained.
"It’s quite novel that even the Dao Palace is targeted by ancient relics."
"Actually, it’s not just the Dao Palace being targeted. In the battle a hundred thousand years ago, there were a total of nine factions, each guarding against the others, and the Dao Palace was just one of them. Even if you survived from the other eight factions, you would still be targeted if you enter now. The ancient tribes possessed formidable means, any disguise is useless, as they rely on the power of the Heavenly Dao to judge a person, leaving virtually no place to hide."
"Can experts in the Ancestral Dao Realm even be afraid of a broken relic formation?" Xiang Beifei asked in doubt.
"The relics have self-protection mechanisms; the more powerful a person, the more they would be repelled by the formations. If ascension realm or ancestral dao realm is detected, these arrays would consider the individual an intruder and activate defense mechanisms, closing down the formation and sealing the entire relic. Of course, this is all hearsay; I haven’t seen the specifics myself."
He Yunfang paused for a moment, then continued, "Such defense mechanisms in ancient relics actually give ordinary tribes a chance. Clearly, the Dao Palace also hopes to excavate the contents of the relics, and since they can’t enter themselves, they offer this opportunity to the experts of various tribes, hoping they can obtain something."
"Are you sure it’s giving tribes like yours a chance?" Xiang Beifei asked calmly.
He Yunfang gave a bitter smile, understanding exactly what Xiang Beifei was implying.
Half a year ago, the affair of the Dao Stone being seized by Ge Hengzi was still fresh in his memory. If an ordinary tribe really obtained a treasure or opportunity within the relic, without strength, it would still be taken by others.
Ultimately, after being handled a few times, it would return to the Dao Palace.
"It’s precisely because I’ve seen through the Dao Palace’s actions that I didn’t let Xiao Qing go this time. Of course, another reason is that the ancient relics are too dangerous, and it’s hard for someone alone in the immortality stage to cope. Generally, people go in groups, and at least one person in the Inquiry Dao Realm is needed to lead the team."
Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.
"Young Master Xiang, I think you should think twice if you’re planning to go." He Yunfang said.
"How do you get to that relic?"
"You really want to go?"
"To broaden my horizons; I can protect myself." Xiang Beifei replied.
He Yunfang initially wanted to persuade him further, but he remembered that Xiang Beifei had once effortlessly killed Cai Kun and Tang Yingxin, his strength far exceeding that of his daughter, so there wasn’t much use in trying to persuade him.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "If you want to go, you must find an expert in the Inquiry Dao Realm and preferably join their team to have some support."
"I will consider it."
"You must consider it; this is no joke!" He Yunfang said seriously.
"All right, just tell me how to go there." Xiang Beifei said helplessly.
"I happen to know a senior in the Inquiry Dao Realm, although I wouldn’t say we are very familiar. My father had some connections with him in the past, but he had extraordinary talent and stepped into the Inquiry Dao Realm hundreds of years ago. If you want to go, you can find him; he should be going. With him, you’ll be safer."
He Yunfang recommended a "strong backer" to Xiang Beifei.
"I’m from the Human Race, are you sure he would take me?"
"This..." He Yunfang hesitated.
Xiang Beifei’s identity was indeed very sensitive; not all tribes could differentiate right from wrong as clearly as theirs.
"Never mind, it’s fine. I’ll disguise my identity. Just tell me the place." Xiang Beifei said.
Knowing Xiang Beifei was determined to go, He Yunfang had no choice but to say, "All right, head to Tiger’s Keep Pass and find our crane race steward, He Xingchang. He will tell you the latest position of the ancient relics. The ancient relics are constantly drifting, and their positions change daily, but in the recent period, they have been traceable."
He Yunfang handed a white crane feather to Xiang Beifei and said, "Take this crane feather, and in any city, all crane race people will follow your orders. If you need to inquire about something inconveniently, just send them to handle it. Seeing this feather is like seeing the Clan Leader; all crane race people will obey your command."
