Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1670 – Not enough Popularity
Change our strategy? Everyone was confused and a little confused.
Le Wuhen explained. “When we depart as a group, we can only search for one target at a time, and if we split up, then we will definitely be able to obtain the Ancestral Dao Root for everyone as soon as possible.”
This suggestion was undoubtedly tempting to many, but they clearly realized that doing this would cause their forces to split. So, the danger they faced would be even greater as well. It can be considered to have advantages and disadvantages.
Le Wuhen seemed to have understood the worry in their hearts, and he said with a smile, “No need to worry. Even though we're going our separate ways, we can use Mindnet Shells to communicate. No matter who faces danger, we will be able to go and provide support at the first possible time. “
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and then a sliver of translucent crystals and shells that looked like floating green leaves.
Mindnet shells were rare treasures produced in the Imperial Region. Once worn, even if people were at different ends of the world, they could still obtain information about the others at any time.
Le Wuhen gave the Mindnet Shell to Chen Xi, Shentu Yanran, Yuqiu Jing, and Zhuanyu Shui while he left one to himself.
Afterwards, he said, “We five Great Spirit Gods will lead the team, and we will help Daoist Associates each take the Ancestral Root. This way, even if a team faces danger, it will be able to hold on until the others arrive to offer support. No doubt it will be much safer. “
When they realized that Le Wuhen had made enough preparations, all the worries in their hearts instantly vanished, and no one objected to this suggestion.
“Now, let's start dividing into teams. How about we each bring in a few Daoist Fellows alone? ”Le Wuhen turned his gaze past everyone before he spoke with a smile on his face.
Chen Xi, Shentu Yanran, Zhuanyu Shui, and Yuqiu Jing of course did not mind.
Other than the five of them who were Great Gods, their group still had 14 other cultivators.
Soon, their group was already completely divided.
Le Wuhen, Shentu Yanran, Yuqiu Jing, and Zhuanyu Shui had three cultivators in each of their teams, whereas Chen Xi had two.
This was not because they were making pocket money for Chen Xi. It was because those cultivators were somewhat hostile and rejected Chen Xi earlier, and they offended him. Even if they had already acknowledged Chen Xi's status, they were worried that Chen Xi held a grudge against them. Because it would be bad if he tried to retaliate with them when they searched for the Ancestral Dao Root.
It's purely thinking too much about things. With the way Chen Xi looked at things and the vastness of his own thoughts, how could he possibly make a fuss with them?
Moreover, no matter how much he disliked them, due to consideration for the overall situation of the group, Chen Xi would not do something like lead his allies into a trap.
However, it was very clear that those cultivators did not think this way, so they would rather follow Le Wuhen and the others than be on the same team as Chen Xi.
As for these two companions that were distributed to Chen Xi, one of them was named Tao Dong, and he was from the Imperial Region's Tao Clan. He was completely against being on the same team as Chen Xi, but it couldn't help as he was a step slower and not faster than the others. So, he could only follow reluctantly on Chen Xi's side in the end.
The other person was Wei Zifu. Since Wei Zifu had obtained the sixth grade Dao Root Ancestor, he did not have to worry at all whether Chen Xi would intentionally make things difficult for him.
After the team was split, Le Wuhen said with a smile, “Everything, I have a suggestion. Why are our teams not competing against each other? How about we compete on the quality of the Ancestral Root Dao that our respective teams can finally obtain? ”
The eyes of the other cultivators lit up when they heard this suggestion, and they clearly realized that this suggestion was very beneficial to them.
“This suggestion is not bad. However, Chen Xi only had two people by his side, and one had already obtained a sixth grade Ancestral Dao Root. If we compete in this way, then it would be a bit disadvantageous for him. “Shentu Yanran smiled lightly as he spoke softly.
“Ha ha! Yanran! Oho! Yanran! Just look at you, you are constantly protecting Daoist Fellow Chen Xi. Could it be that you really like it? “Le Wuhen laughed out loud and teased.
Shentu Yanran let out a weak sigh and said, “Okay, when the falling flowers long to be loved, they are washed away heartlessly by the droning current.”
Chen Xi smiled bitterly and shrugged. He knew they were joking, so he didn't take it seriously.
Yuqiu Jing who had remained silent at the side from the start became calmer. As for how envious and hateful he was in his heart, only he himself knew the answer.
As for the other cultivators, they could only feel jealousy and envy. Although they knew that it was just a joke, it was not just anyone who could have the qualifications to enjoy such treatment and be related to Shentu Yanran!
Le Wuhen said, “Yanran, don't forget that if we have the chance, then each of us will be able to obtain more than one or two Ancestral Dao Roots. Even if we cannot use a precious treasure like ourselves, it would be great to be taken back and given to our respective clans. “
Shentu Yanran was stunned, and they said in self-mockery. “It seems that once women have a sincere feeling in their heart, they really become chaotic.” He took advantage of this moment to flirt with Chen Xi casually.
Le Wuhen could not help but laugh when he heard this.
Chen Xi sighed helplessly, and she hurriedly said, “Alright, let's go.”
Others know that time is important. So, they immediately stopped procrastinating, and their five teams flew towards five different directions.
……
Swish!
Space fluctuated as Chen Xi teleported in front while Tao Dong and Wei Zifu followed behind.
They chose the north.
But whatever happens, continuing north will not be wrong at all.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
As time passed, many streaks of light gradually began to appear in front, and they flickered through space before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
This caused Chen Xi to be shocked in her heart. He was clearly aware that those streaks of light were those of other cultivators who had entered the Ancestral Root Land.
In other words, it was not only their group that was looking for the Ancestral Dao Root, and the other cultivators were doing the same. This meant that the competition and conflict between them began to escalate!
“Follow carefully behind me. We will probably face many dangers during the operation we will carry out, “Chen Xi instructed quickly.
“Don't worry, Daoist Partner Chen Xi.” Wei Zifu is steady and experienced. Moreover, since he obtained the Ancestral Dao Root at first and had witnessed Chen Xi's great abilities, he would naturally not choose to fight Chen Xi now.
“Oh.” Tao Dong did not speak more than that.
In his heart, he was even somewhat depressed. Because he had always followed Yuqiu Jing before this, and he refused and ridiculed Chen Xi at all times. So, he was really worried that Chen Xi would make things difficult for him.
If this fellow really dares to act like that, then I will just leave. I will not experience any humiliation from this person at all! Tao Dong's sword in his heart.
Chen Xi could vaguely sense Tao Dong's thoughts, and she could not help but shake her head. Although the strength of these disciples from the Imperial Region far exceeded their peers, most of them were extremely haughty, refused to lower their pride, and had an overwhelming sense of superiority. They're really boring.
He was of course aware that the reason was because he was from the Snow Ink Region, so no matter how powerful his strength was, his status was something they looked down upon.
It's like the nobles of the mortal world. No matter how strong others were when compared to them, they would still look down on others.
Ruins and dilapidated walls and buildings were everywhere. This place used to be the residence of the clan of the gods born from within Chaos, but it has been reduced to ruins due to the world battles that have erupted here.
Destroyed corpses and pieces of divine artifacts were often seen on the ground. They are mottled, dim, and have long been eroded by the elements to the point of being in an accident. It was a very quiet sight.
The further they went, the more ruins they saw, and the aura of silence in heaven and earth grew even thicker.
After the time for the entire incense stick to burn, Chen Xi suddenly stopped moving while gazing into the distance. Within his senses, there was an extremely dazzling yellow streak of light that soared into the sky.
Fifth grade Ancestral Root…. Chen Xi's figure flashed as he led Tao Dong and Wei Zifu to speed up and directly teleport.
This was a shallow area that had dried up a long time ago, and many cracks were split in the ground. At this moment, a dazzling yellow streak of light had shot out from between the gaps.
After traveling for so long and finally finding the other Ancestral Roots now, there wasn't much happiness in Tao Dong's heart instead.
“It's only fifth grade Dao Root Ancestor Shake, isn't it too smoothly ..” He spoke with disappointment because even Wei Zifu had obtained the sixth grade Ancestral Dao Root, and he felt that he was not inferior to Wei. Zifu at all.
Chen Xi's slanted brows lifted. Sentiment that sounds good. The roots of a fifth-grade Dao Ancestor were rare even in the Ancient Gods Domain, and rare even in strength above that. Yet it had actually become something subpar when Tao Dong spoke of it.
“Mean Daoist Tao Dong, you are not satisfied?” Ask Chen Xi.
“I'm a little dissatisfied. Fellow Daoist Chen Xi, can I take this Ancestral Dao Root first, and if we can find a better Ancestral Dao Root after this, then, then I'll trade this one for that one from you, okay? ”Tao Dong spoke frankly.
“Tao Dong, didn't doing that a little inappropriate? Daoist colleague Chen Xi has no obligation to help us do all this. “Wei Zifu speaking from the side. He was somewhat worried that Tao Dong would anger Chen Xi and drag him into trouble as well.
Chen Xi's eyes narrowed. In the end, he said with a smile, “Alright, but we have to make a rule.”
Tao Dong's eyes sparkled, and he said happily, “Tell me about it.”
“I can give you and Fellow Daoist Zifu two chances to choose the Ancestral Dao Root, and if you are still dissatisfied after these two opportunities, then you can strive to obtain it yourself. I'm sorry I couldn't continue to help after that. “Chen Xi swept the two of them with her gaze and spoke in a low voice.
“Alright!” Tao Dong agreed without the slightest hesitation because such conditions were better than anything he excluded. So, how could he not agree to it?
“Thank you, Daoist Partner Chen Xi.” Wei Zifu was a little surprised before he cupped his hands and thanked Chen Xi seriously. He had never imagined that Chen Xi would actually give him an opportunity that would allow him to choose the Ancestral Dao Root.
Chen Xi smiled and said, “However, the two of you should note that I can only help the two of you get one Ancestral Dao Root each.”
The meaning behind his words was that if they could obtain more Ancestral Dao Roots along the way, then that Ancestral Dao Root would have nothing to do with the two of them.
This caused Tao Dong's heart to jerk, and the happiness in his heart to disappear without a trace. He forced a smile and said, “This seems ... a little inappropriate, right? We are a team, so the Ancestral Dao Roots we obtained naturally must be divided evenly. At best, you can have a slightly larger section. Fellow Daoist Zifu, what do you think? ”
As he spoke, he looked at Wei Zifu who was standing by his side.
Wei Zifu did not even glance at Tao Dong, and he nodded at Chen Xi and said, “Of course.”
Tao Dong was instantly stunned on the spot, and his expression changed indeterminate.
