"Why?" Zhu Kun asked in confusion.
Zi Yan stood in front of Xiao Ting, trying her best to keep her tone as calm as possible.
He thought his idea was excellent — go with the flow and let the Hun Clan open the Tou She Ancient God's Cave, thereby helping him escape. At that time, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and other Ancient Clans would join forces, so the Hun Clan would never gain the upper hand.
"Senior, if you appear, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan will become too powerful," Xiao Ting said frankly, not caring that Xun Er was nearby. Huo Zhi and Yao Ling were right beside him. "If you escape, instead of the East Wind overwhelming the West Wind, it will turn into a three-way stalemate."
"That's right. The Hun Clan has sent spies into the major Ancient Clans and is plotting against the Tou She Ancient God. Moreover, the Nihility Devouring Flame possesses the power to devour the Ling Clan and threatens the survival of the major Ancient Clans. Therefore, now is the time for the Seven Great Ancient Clans to unite and fight the Hun Clan."
"However, now that the elders have been released and the powerful members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan have returned, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan alone can already rival the Hun Clan."
"At present, whether it is the Gu clan, the Yan Clan, or the Lei Clan, more factors must be considered."
"Because the Ancient Void Dragon Clan are not humans, people tend to feel that they are different from us and must have different hearts."
"Even if we could cooperate at first, the Hun Clan would feel pressure, and Hu Tiandi would definitely sow discord among the clans and try to affect our cooperative relationship."
"If we do not unite and internal conflict begins, the Hun Clan will be able to exploit every loophole."
"The Hun Clan possesses the Nihility Devouring Flame and will undoubtedly gain an unparalleled advantage when exploring Ancient Emperor Tou She's cave."
"In other words, opening the Tou She Ancient God's Cave now is not because we believe our chances of winning will increase."
"Our chances of winning are at best fifty-fifty. Because you and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan are too strong, we would actually be at a disadvantage."
At this point, Xiao Ting paused. Seeing that Zhu Kun was listening seriously, he continued, "Therefore, the best scenario is to wait until the Hun Clan and the Seven Great Ancient Clans fight each other until both sides reach a point of no return."
"In reality, because the Nihility Devouring Flame of the Hun Clan possesses the power to devour the Ling Clan, he regards the Seven Great Ancient Clans as resources for continuing the God bloodline. This is a fight to the death."
"When the time comes, even if you appear together with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, it will only be adding bricks and tiles to the allied forces, and you will only be welcomed."
"If we can completely destroy the Hun Clan or inflict severe damage before activating the Tou She Ancient God's Jades, our chances of obtaining the Dou God inheritance will increase."
"As far as I know, Ancient Emperor Tou She once devoured the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame."
"The Nihility Devouring Flame knows the secrets of Ancient Emperor Tou She's cave, and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame probably knows them as well."
"There is less than ten years until the once-in-a-millennium Demon Flame descends upon the Demon Flame Plains. If we can obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, our chances will increase."
While patiently listening to Xiao Ting's plan, a look of admiration appeared in Zhu Kun's eyes.
What an excellent example of power transfer! Just by delaying the execution of the plan, he had greatly increased his own advantage.
"Understood. We'll do as you say." Having been trapped in this space for thousands of years, Zhu Kun did not mind waiting a few more years. "So, what is your plan? Do you intend to continue training here with the people around you until the right time comes?"
If that was the case, he could directly teach Zi Yan how to cultivate.
"Yes and no." Xiao Ting lightly shook his head and took out one Tou She Ancient God's Jade. "First, I will rescue you, Senior, and then obtain various benefits outside. When the right time comes, I will put the plan into action."
"Senior, I will continue training here until you are freed from this predicament."
Zhu Kun: ?
"I cannot help others, but you, Senior, can. After all, you are strong enough, and you are an Ancient Void Dragon."
"How?"
"I will use the flame I control to activate this Tou She Ancient God's Jade. If you can sense the restraints placed on the Tou She Ancient God's gate, you will roughly know how long it will take to be freed. This is one of the eight Tou She Ancient God's Jades. It cannot open the gate, but it can exert some influence."
"Alright, let's do it!"
Zhu Kun urged excitedly.
Without hesitation, Xiao Ting immediately activated the Tou She Ancient God's Jade using Purple Beast Flame.
About an hour later, Zhu Kun opened his eyes and said excitedly, "I can feel it! The void's restraining force has loosened. At this rate, it will take about a year to be freed from this restraint."
This was truly an unexpected joy.
"A little over a year?" Xiao Ting lightly nodded. "Then the time spent training here will be about that long."
However, sometimes plans cannot keep up with changes.
…
Time flew by. Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ting's eighteenth birthday arrived as scheduled, and both he and his women were looking forward to that day.
On his birthday, Xiao Ting received Plane's Blessing and obtained extremely precious rewards.
For the first time, Xiao Ting mastered the Purple Beast Flame visualization method and could freely control the supreme and unchanging Thunder Flame. Visualization could infinitely increase his soul force, and he also gained the qualifications to refine pills.
The second time, he obtained the divine ability "Heaven and Earth Manifestation," which gave him terrifying combat power capable of defeating higher-level enemies even after reaching the Dou Saint level. And this was only a small part of this divine ability.
The third time, through the Yin-Yang Transformation Heavenly Art, Xiao Ting cultivated together with women, helping them achieve complete transformation in essence, energy, spirit, bloodline, and everything else, while he himself received 100% feedback and became extremely perfect.
So what about this time!?
[Great Dao Bestows Blessing]: Flying Body and Leaving Traces
"Flying Body and Leaving Traces?"
Xiao Ting muttered those four words and felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"Flying through the sky and leaving traces behind!"
Xiao Ting suddenly widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
[Flying Body and Leaving Traces]: One of the thirty-six heavenly divine abilities in the supreme supernatural power system of Daoism, encompassing all heavens and myriad realms.
The thirty-six heavenly divine abilities use the number thirty-six, which symbolizes the cosmic law of "infinite six" in the Daoist Bagua, representing the supreme supernatural power that governs heaven, earth, and all things. It includes thirty-six types of magic such as manipulating creation, reversing yin and yang, moving stars and changing constellations.
It encompasses abilities such as material transformation, time manipulation, celestial concealment, elemental control, and reversing life and death.
For example, manipulating creation allows one to create something from nothing or overturn the laws of nature. This was one of the methods the goddess Nuwa used to create humans.
The ability to move stars and change constellations can alter celestial phenomena and conceal heavenly secrets, while the ability to reverse the course of events can reveal past causes and effects.
The ability to fly through the sky and leave traces, and even reach the highest level of supernatural power, allows one to escape this world, hide within heaven and earth, and freely wander through the void. It cannot be known, perceived, or observed. It exists within the universe but cannot be seen within it.
This is a divine domain that can manifest at will and enable spatial leaps.
"What the hell!" Xiao Ting was completely shocked.
On the Dou Qi Continent, high-level Dou Emperors might be able to use spatial power, but only six-star Dou Saints can possess teleportation abilities.
To reach the vast world, one must become a fifth-rank supreme being capable of traversing the void.
However, such travel is only permitted by rules after reaching a certain cultivation level.
However, leaping and leaving traces is an application of rules, or something that transcends rules.
This is one of the 36 heavenly divine abilities.
"Excellent!"
