384 Did He Do It?
Since he knew the exact location of the primordial sea, he traveled there without making any detours.
There were still about two years left before his turn to attempt to absorb the sea heart. That meant that he could not stay there and wait. After all, he was not allowed to fish there.
As such, after arriving, he made a beeline for the Holy River.
It had been a while since he had killed the two Dao heart realm experts, so there was no problem returning to this river. He only needed to change his fishing spot. This was also because he was worried that Yue Hanjiang would be threatened and attacked.
When he returned to the river, Yue Hanjiang had found a place to start cultivating again. Her master was fishing not far away. It was a very comfortable life.
She continued to cultivate happily.
Yuchi felt that he could also make use of this idle time to properly absorb the Dao aura in his sea of consciousness, which he had been ignoring during this period of time.
He looked into his sea of consciousness.
The faceless fish had already recovered somewhat. At least there were no more visible wounds on the surface of its skin. There were some scars, but those would also recover with time. It was now growing in size as well.
Although it was not as big as a tenth of its previous size, there was at least some progress.
‘I wonder how Cofuran is recovering. I haven’t seen her in a while. It seems that she was seriously injured from the direct confrontation with the Heavenly Dao apparition.’
Yuchi’s projection appeared in his sea of consciousness. He was sitting on his own mountain.
He touched the head of a little bear next to him.
He thought about it.
He felt that he still had to become more powerful.
[Name: Yuchi]
[Demigod: 10.2%]
[Dao heart (main): Deathmatch]
[Dao heart Saint weapon: Black-gold Sun]
[Deathmatch Dao heart skill: Hellfire Dance (Level 3)]
[Deathmatch Dao heart skill: Netherworld Bloodsucking (Level 1)]
[Dao heart (secondary): Nature]
[Dao heart Saint weapon: Faceless Fish]
[Nature Dao heart skill: Life and Death (Level 2)]
There were Yuchi’s current attributes.
He wondered how much they would increase after refining the Dao aura in his sea of consciousness.
He was also looking forward to it.
The Dao aura began to gather around his black-gold sun as it bloomed with dark-gold light.
Clearly, his Dao-heart was being constantly strengthened!
It felt as if a second heart had appeared in his body. As the black-gold sun beat again and again, his entire sea of consciousness resonated with it. Was this another reason why the Dao heart was called as such?
He was not sure.
…
While Yuchi was slowly refining the Dao aura, a two-faced woman with a flower on her head had already appeared around the primordial sea.
This woman was the one who had rushed to the Holy River after Yuchi caused the descent of the Heavenly Dao apparition back then.
After the woman told the others about this, she chose to come to the primordial sea to find out if there was any news about the ‘demigod’.
Now, she had gained a basic understanding of Yuchi’s situation.
The woman in front looked at the calm ocean in front of her and said slowly, “According to our current understanding of the situation, the people in this outpost said that Yuchi had once gone to the Holy River to fish. Do you think this matter has anything to do with Yuchi?”
The woman on the other side was looking at the small outpost behind her. Her leisurely voice came from behind her hair, “If you use your brain to think about this matter, you’ll know that it was definitely not done by Yuchi. Yuchi is a brand-new Dao heart realm cultivator. Although he has already received the invitation of the Knights of the Round Table, his strength should be no different from any ordinary novice Dao heart realm cultivator.”
“His Dao heart itself has not yet stabilized, so how could he kill two Dao heart realm cultivators by himself? How could he survive the gaze of the Heavenly Dao? It’s absolutely impossible!”
The woman in front was a little unhappy. “Don’t talk to me like that. You keep telling me to use my brain, but in fact, we share the same brain.”
“Your thoughts are my thoughts, and my thoughts are your thoughts. We’re just expressing it in different ways. Also, it was a joke. I’m sure you’re aware of that.”
“Of course I know that this wasn’t done by Yuchi. He’s only here to try and absorb the sea heart. The question is who did this. Which demigod suddenly showed up and slaughtered two Dao heart realm cultivators?”
The reason why they were so upset about this matter was also related to the rules.
Different realms and different situations. These rules were not only to protect others, but also to protect themselves.
This particular rule they were discussing was related to demigods.
Demigods could not take the initiative to attack Dao heart realm cultivators, though that did not apply to when they were attacked first.
This rule was meant to allow more people to reach the demigod realm, and then try to surpass it.
Right now, the demigod realm was publicly acknowledged as the peak of the cultivation path. No one had ever surpassed the demigod realm to reach the true god realm.
As such, demigods were considered invincible.
Therefore, the current situation was quite troublesome.
Furthermore, any cultivator who had just broken through to the demigod realm would have to register themselves, which made it even more unlikely that a demigod realm cultivator would come all the way here to kill two Dao heart realm cultivators.
It did not make sense.
Therefore, the current situation was very strange.
This unique woman with two different faces was now wondering why this had happened.
How did a demigod suddenly appear?
It was inexplicable.
“Sigh, forget it. We don’t have enough information to investigate this matter clearly.”
“Still, we can conclude that it wasn’t this Yuchi person.”
“Yup,”
“Let’s stay here for a while and see what the situation is like.”
“Alright,” she said.
“Otherwise, we won’t be able to report back to the authorities when we return.”
