CHAPTER 1007: CHAPTER 693: DAO DIVINATION MIRROR (PART 2)

Xiang Beifei continued to cultivate his Yin-Yang Secret.

He now plans to use a secondary character to dominate the rankings, disrupting the rules set by the Dao Palace, but the problem is that his current realm is, strictly speaking, considered elementary in the Edge Corner Airspace.

Although Xiang Beifei’s combat power and realm aren’t directly proportional, improving his realm is undoubtedly beneficial. Once his cultivation rises a bit more, it will be time for him to challenge the rankings!

Ever since mastering the Yin-Yang Source Qi, he found his cultivation becoming increasingly smooth, with the Three Thousand Great Daos under his control. He could simulate various Daos using the Yin-Yang Source Qi and enhance himself through the comprehension of each Dao.

——

Another month quietly passed.

He Qing, supported by all the elders of the clan, secluded herself to comprehend the two Dao Stones.

She perceived the essence of the words "Dao" and "No." The mere essence of these two words benefited her greatly. The two months of seclusion deepened her understanding of the Crane Dao, making her feel that her Dao had entered a completely new realm.

In her eyes, the words "Dao" and "No" seemed to open a gateway to a new world for her. She even felt that her understanding of the Crane Dao was no longer confined to the Crane Dao, but elevated to the level of the Flying Bird Dao!

Even surpassing the Flying Bird Dao in power.

She realized that if she continued cultivating in this manner, she would no longer need to fear the Flying Bird Dao, which means Tang Yingxin’s Flying Bird Dao techniques would become ineffective against her!

He Qing was overjoyed upon discovering this.

If this realization could be imparted to all members of the crane race, they wouldn’t need to worry about being countered by the Bird Race’s Dao embryos when facing them!

"Strange, why does this Dao essence feel so familiar?"

He Qing carefully experienced this Dao essence. After her Crane Dao advanced a notch, this feeling was like when she faced Tang Yingxin in Divine Feather City.

Back then, during the duel with Tang Yingxin in the arena, his Flying Bird Dao techniques became ineffective against her, and she felt exactly like this.

"But at that time, I hadn’t yet comprehended this Dao essence!"

He Qing furrowed her brow, lost in thought.

At that time, she hadn’t comprehended the Crane Dao to this extent, so how could she have been immune to the counteraction of the Flying Bird Dao techniques? Could it be that the owner of the Dao Stone was present back then?

He Qing was startled.

How could this be possible?

How could the owner of the Dao Stone have been present? Besides, that person is at least a senior in the ascension realm, who by all accounts wouldn’t get involved in such trivial matters.

She couldn’t figure it out.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t make sense of it either. Realizing she had been secluded for two months, it was time to let others comprehend the Dao Stones.

She left her cave dwelling and flew to the Crane Dao Courtyard, where she found He Yunfang busy reinforcing the Crane Dao Courtyard’s formation. Upon seeing his daughter coming out of seclusion, He Yunfang immediately set his tasks aside, beaming with happiness.

"How is it? Gained any insights?" He Yunfang eagerly asked.

This concerned the future of the crane race. If He Qing could improve from the Dao Stone, the entire crane race would benefit!

"The Dao Stones can make our crane race stronger!"

He Qing slightly released her aura, and a wave of Spiritual Power, different from before, swept over. This Spiritual Power, with the inherent nature of the crane race, was even more potent, compensating for the crane race’s weaknesses and elevating her strength by a level!

"You’ve become stronger!"

He Yunfang excitedly looked at his daughter. Although his realm wasn’t as high as hers, he had the discernment to immediately notice that her aura was more refined and powerful than before. Even without breaking through to the mid-stage of Yongsheng, she was far stronger than before!

"Yes, I feel confident enough to challenge those ahead of me, perhaps I might try challenging Chu Shen, ranked one hundred and forty." He Qing said confidently.

"Ranked one hundred and forty!"

He Yunfang clenched his fists, overjoyed!

He Qing is currently ranked one hundred and eighty-eight. If she could truly defeat the genius ranked one hundred and forty, it would mean He Qing could bring more breath soil revenue to the crane race in the future!

"Good! Good! Good!"

He Yunfang said "good" three times, bursting into laughter as this event was worth celebrating for the entire clan!

"I will soon record my insights for the elders to reference, especially you, father. You must also comprehend the Dao essence of this Dao Stone; perhaps you could also step into the mid-stage of Yongsheng." He Qing added.

"Definitely!" He Yunfang sighed with emotion, "Speaking of which, we truly owe gratitude to the owner of the Dao Stone! I just wonder who this senior is, and where the remaining Dao Stones are."

He Qing was also curious, but instead of being overly eager, she asked, "By the way, during my seclusion, what new changes have happened on the Earth Ranking list? Let me have a look at the information."

He Yunfang came back to his senses, then wore a very peculiar expression, giving a wry smile: "If we talk about changes in the Earth Ranking, indeed there have been some. Honestly, the entire Edge Corner Airspace is in an uproar now."

"An uproar? Is there a new genius?"

"It’s two! Uh... I’m not sure whether it’s one or two; there’s a master called ’Broken Hat’... aye." He Yunfang was bemused.

"What’s the matter?"

He Qing found it strange.

——

In the void, a mist-enshrouded peak floated there, steep and upright, with clouds swirled around it, resembling a transcendent sanctuary.

At the cliff edge of the peak, a lush banyan tree grew, with a delicate wooden house underneath, quiet and serene.

This was now Xiang Beifei’s place for meditation, approximately a few dozen miles away from the Crane Dao Courtyard.

The entire peak was enshrouded by a layer of mist, which swirled in a peculiar manner, as if harmonizing with something, mystical and strange.

Xiang Beifei circulated his Yin-Yang Source Qi, contemplating his Dao essence. As he unveiled his comprehension of the Three Thousand Great Daos, everything on the peak came under his control. He was the absolute master of this domain of Dao essence.

Everything operated in an orderly manner, suddenly, all of the peak’s aura began to retract and transformed into black and white, gradually returning to Xiang Beifei’s body.

He opened his eyes, and a glimmer of black and white flashed through.

"The mid-stage of Yongsheng doesn’t seem that difficult, I really don’t understand why they spend hundreds of years." He muttered, stretched, feeling refreshed.

"Woof woof!"

Xiaohei, seeing Xiang Beifei awake, immediately bounced around excitedly, looking quite impatient.

"No need to rush, we’ll soon use the third secondary character to hit the rankings."

Xiang Beifei knew what Xiaohei was anxious about.

In a few days, a genius was ready to defend the rankings on the Earth Ranking list.

It’s promised to use the secondary character to dominate the list, timing has to be precise.

"Daoist Xiang."

He Qing’s voice came from afar, along with the voice, her figure landed on the cliff.

"Huh, becoming so polite now?" Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.

He Qing’s mouth twitched slightly.

She now realized that even though he was just twenty-three, younger than her, his strength was so terrifying that she could no longer treat him like a little kid.

"Then again, I actually have something to discuss with you. Do you know about the Demon Tentacle Race?"

"I was just wondering, with a master ranking one hundred and third called Xu Jue..."

"Oh, yes, I have some impression of him, I was fortunate enough to meet him once, very powerful indeed." He Qing paused, then asked: "Wait a minute, you’re not planning to hit the rankings, are you?"

"No, why would I? Are you suspecting me?" Xiang Beifei replied in a serious tone.
