Chapter 2472: The Dao Ancestors Join Forces!

Ye Yuan, standing by, was also stunned speechless.

These two were actually father and son!

"Shut up! I don't believe it! Not a single word!" Heavenly Emperor Changle suddenly roared, trying to interrupt Medicine Ancestor's words.

But from his reaction, he had already believed.

Medicine Ancestor paid no heed and continued, "Your talent is extremely high, but your pride is also extremely high! At first, I took you as a servant to temper your nature. I never expected you to take a deviant path and embark on the way of devouring. You went behind my back in Pingpan City to challenge Wang Pan in an alchemy duel, and that awakened the devouring path. From then on, you began the road of devouring..."

"I wanted to acknowledge you, but your mindset gradually became unbalanced as you devoured others' paths. If I had acknowledged you then, it might have led to even more unpredictable consequences. Back then, I abandoned you and your mother in pursuit of the Great Dao. I owe you, and I planned to repay you after attaining the Dao, using the realm of Dao Pill to nurture you to the peak. Unfortunately, I was one step short!"

"The moment you made your move, I hesitated for a moment but ultimately gave up. With your talent, devouring me should have brought you close to the final step. I never expected you to fall short in the end."

Saying this, Medicine Ancestor sighed and glanced at Ye Yuan.

What a pity—the opponent Changle chose was Ye Yuan.

The Evergreen Saint!

Faced with such a huge temptation, Ye Yuan remained calm and delivered the remnant soul.

Such bearing was truly unparalleled in the world!

Changle had chosen the wrong opponent!

Heavenly Emperor Changle was already utterly dejected, crushed by reality.

By now, even a fool would know that Medicine Ancestor wasn't lying.

Yet this reality shattered his life's convictions.

The person he resented most, the one he had spent his life wanting to kill, was actually the one who loved him most.

And he had killed that person with his own hands!

Reality was too cruel.

At that moment, Medicine Ancestor's remnant soul began to dissipate, turning into specks of light.

Under Ye Yuan's deliverance, his soul had been cleansed and entered reincarnation.

Time waited for no one; even if he wanted to reunite with Heavenly Emperor Changle, there was no time left.

He looked at Heavenly Emperor Changle and sighed, "Foolish child, if there truly is reincarnation, I hope we meet again on the other side!"

Heavenly Emperor Changle's divine soul was shattered, his Dao collapsed, and his end was near.

With that, Medicine Ancestor's remnant soul gradually vanished between heaven and earth.

The scenes before him stirred Ye Yuan's thoughts.

Having reached the realm of Chaos Primordial Spirit, Ye Yuan could clearly sense that these remnant souls had not completely disappeared but had transformed into a kind of inexplicable energy, returning to heaven and earth.

This feeling was exactly the same as that time before his father's grave.

Only now, his perception was far clearer.

Moreover, Ye Yuan discovered that not everyone could return to heaven and earth.

Only those with no attachments, whose karma was resolved and thoughts were unhindered, could return to heaven and earth.

Just like Ji Zhengyang, who only caused that ripple after the death of Nine-Entropy Heavenly Emperor.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuan's gaze grew firm.

"Father, if there truly is reincarnation, I will search heaven and earth to resurrect you! You and Mother endured countless hardships and died for me; I must repay you with a lifetime of happiness!" Ye Yuan silently vowed.

Thump!

"Father!" Heavenly Emperor Changle knelt down, weeping bitterly in the direction where Medicine Ancestor had vanished.

At this moment, his inner guilt could no longer be concealed.

Ye Yuan sighed softly and turned to leave.

Pfft!

A powerful energy fluctuation came from behind, and the once-invincible Heavenly Emperor Changle had ended his own life.

...

True Flame Dao Field, the Dao field of Fire Ancestor.

The nine Dao Ancestors gathered here, with a small mountain quietly suspended among them, emitting a heart-stopping fluctuation.

Even with the combined strength of nine, they could not fully suppress the might of the Small Tongtian Mountain.

The earlier battle with Bao Zhu had reduced the entire Qiyuan Mountain Range to ruins.

Forced to do so, they came to True Flame Dao Field to jointly study the Small Tongtian Mountain.

Such a treasure, if placed with any one of them, would naturally be contested by the others.

In the end, they could only study it together.

Having finally gotten their wish, the joy on their faces was unmistakable.

Having seen Ye Yuan's extraordinary talent, how could they not be tempted?

"Time is short. If we continue to suspect each other, we will only let the Divine Clan succeed! Moreover, that brat Ye Yuan is watching covetously and cannot be underestimated! If we cannot advance further, our only end is death!" Lin Chaotian said gravely.

Obtaining the Small Tongtian Mountain was indeed a great opportunity.

But they also faced an unprecedented crisis!

The deterrent power Ye Yuan held over them was truly immense.

Facing an opponent who could not be killed, the only outcome was to be killed.

The joy on the Dao Ancestors' faces faded, replaced by solemnity.

Suddenly, the pressure was immense!

"Brother Chaotian is right! At this time, we should set aside our differences and work together!" said Fire Ancestor.

The Dao Ancestors nodded one after another, clearly reaching a consensus.

Lin Chaotian's gaze fell on the Small Tongtian Mountain, and he said with slight excitement, "This treasure contains the power of the Dao, far surpassing us! Who would have thought that the Tongtian Realm held such a supreme treasure! With the combined strength of the nine of us, we can at least consolidate the power of the rules! Then, even when the cycle of the Heavenly Dao arrives, our strength can be maintained to the greatest extent! As long as we survive this war of annihilation, we have hope of breaking through the shackles and seeing what lies atop Tongtian Mountain!"

His words stirred the blood of the eight Dao Ancestors.

For how many eons, the only place they wanted to go was the top of Tongtian Mountain!

But no matter how hard they tried, they could not cross that barrier.

This time, the opportunity had finally come!

"Brother Chaotian, tell us what to do, and we'll follow your lead!" said Wind Ancestor.

Lin Chaotian nodded slightly and said, "This mountain contains an extremely vast Dao, as you all must have realized. Our cultivation along this path has many imperfections. This Small Tongtian Mountain is like a mirror, reflecting our shortcomings clearly."

The Dao Ancestors nodded in agreement; having obtained the treasure, they had naturally experienced it.

Lin Chaotian was absolutely right—the Dao contained in the Small Tongtian Mountain gave them a new understanding of their own cultivation.

Though the Dao Ancestors were powerful, it did not mean their cultivation was without error.

The Dao was vast and complex; who could truly comprehend it all?

If they could fully comprehend the Dao, they would no longer be Dao Ancestors but Heaven itself!

"Therefore, we should cooperate fully and share what we have comprehended! For our shortcomings, we will study and understand together, and progress together! That brat is waiting to see us make fools of ourselves. Then, let us slap him hard and make him understand that the Dao Ancestors are not to be defied! He has only reached this level by relying on a strange treasure!" Lin Chaotian said resolutely.
