Chapter 135: The Struggle of the Great Dao, Remnants of the Imperial Relic! (Please Subscribe)
Li Tongzhen's figure suddenly vanished.
The oppressive heaviness in the air disappeared without a trace.
All the powerful beings around Duke Zhen's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
When they faced Li Tongzhen, they all inevitably felt uncomfortable, not because Li Tongzhen was too strong, and not because he was deliberately targeting them.
It was that temperament.
It clashed with theirs.
It was as though Li Tongzhen were a true Immortal, while they were still mere ordinary mortals.
Upon reflection, it seemed quite inconceivable.
One must know.
Li Tongzhen was nothing more than a child!
Previously, he was just a beggar.
How could Li Tongzhen undergo such a dramatic change so suddenly?
Many powerful beings, when Li Tongzhen's figure descended, saw Li Tongzhen's appearance clearly.
Seeing Li Tongzhen in the garb of a beggar, they all harbored certain thoughts to greater or lesser degrees.
The powerful beings lurking around vanished quickly after Li Tongzhen's figure disappeared.
Most knew Li Tongzhen was no simple matter.
They wouldn't dare provoke him.
But a very few powerful beings, still harboring the idea of striking it rich, followed Li Tongzhen's aura in pursuit.
In just a short while.
The environment around Duke Zhen's Mansion returned to tranquility.
The restlessness was gone, the ambiance peaceful.
At the entrance to Duke Zhen's Mansion.
Cheng Guang stood in front of the mansion, quietly remaining in place, not hurrying back into the mansion; instead, he slightly narrowed his eyes, gazing into the sky.
In that patch of the firmament.
The air was clear, the weather fine.
Faint remnants of the anomaly caused by Li Tongzhen lingered, with wisps of red among the drifting clouds.
"Li Tongzhen..."
"The competition for the Fate of the Heavenly Dao, unsealed ahead of time..."
"What does this mean?"
Cheng Guang was still pondering the words Li Tongzhen had spoken just before he left.
Li Tongzhen might have spoken without thinking, but the information revealed in his words was not trivial.
The struggle for the Fate of the Heavenly Dao.
Can the Fate of the Heavenly Dao even be contested?
The current Heavenly Dao has long been so fragmented that no one knows what it's become.
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is about to be restored, and the Fate returns to the human world?
Are these ancient beings awakening here to lay the groundwork for a new cycle of the cosmic struggle for Fate?
After carefully thinking it over, Cheng Guang realized that Zhang Shunlong was one, Jiang Luojing was another, and now there was Li Tongzhen.
One after another, these individuals all have extraordinary origins.
Despite having little to no cultivation and never having cultivated before, as soon as they awoken, they possessed extraordinary auras, and describing their cultivation advancement as sky-high would not be an exaggeration.
Such individuals have been few and far between over hundreds of thousands of years.
But now, they seemed to be emerging in rapid succession.
As Cheng Guang mulled over this, he furrowed his brows.
The impending chaos in the world was already enough to make him anxious, as he prepared for how to fight for a position of his own in the tumultuous times.
But now.
Within the turmoil, there lay the competition for the Fate of the Heavenly Dao, apparently involving many forces far stronger than the world can imagine.
It had been untold millennia since the ancient period had passed.
Beings capable of enduring countless millennia, however you think about it, were not existences someone like the current Cheng Guang could match wits with.
Just thinking about it gave Cheng Guang a headache.
"Li Tongzhen said that regarding the struggle for the Fate of the Heavenly Dao, what should we do? Fate is intangible and insubstantial; what methods might there be to obtain it?"
"Is it faith or something akin to virtue?"
Question after question bubbled up in Cheng Guang's mind, making him feel all the more perplexed.
Cheng Guang gently massaged his forehead and sighed, "This is really troublesome."
Cheng Zhihai, who was beside Cheng Guang, heard his words and turned to look at him, chuckling and shaking his head before lightly patting Cheng Guang's shoulder.
Cheng Zhihai thought Cheng Guang was feeling somewhat down because of Li Tongzhen.
"Guanger, you're young; why be so brooding and sentimental all the time? Don't think too much. This Li Tongzhen might seem young on the surface, but in reality, he might be a strange old creature who has lived for who knows how many years."
"His aura is even stronger than an ordinary Sky-Man."
"Don't compare yourself to him."
Cheng Zhihai continued, comforting as he patted Cheng Guang's shoulder again.
Upon hearing Cheng Zhihai's words, Cheng Guang was initially taken aback, not comprehending at first.
When he did, he felt somewhat dumbfounded.
So Cheng Zhihai thought that he was sighing with self-pity because the apparently young Li Tongzhen had such exceptional cultivation strength??
Am I that fragile??
Cheng Guang wanted to retort, but he refrained from speaking out loud. Continue your journey on empire
Cheng Zhihai simply knew too little.
If he knew that the Li Tongzhen he referred to as an old creature who had lived for many years was truly an ancient being.
And moreover.
That many more such ancient beings would emerge in this world in the future.
At that time.
Perhaps it would indeed be a world where Martial Emperors were as common as dogs, and Sky-Men roamed everywhere.
Cheng Guang wondered if Cheng Zhihai's faith would collapse then.
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Cheng Guang responded to Cheng Zhihai, "It's nothing."
After speaking, Cheng Guang proceeded towards Duke Zhen's Mansion.
He had already decided to return to the mansion.
Just as Cheng Guang reached the gate of Duke Zhen's Mansion.
Suddenly.
A cold, emotionless voice reached his ears.
[Mission accomplished.]
[Would you like to claim your reward?]
Upon hearing this voice, Cheng Guang paused in his step, and then couldn't help but show a burst of joy on his face.
Cheng Guang knew, this was probably indicating that Li Tongzhen's system mission was completed.
