446 Innate Fire Spirit (Part 1)
While all of this was happening, the instigator, Chu Xuan, was already making plans to use Xiang Xing as bait.
He was ready to catch another big fish.
Interestingly, the hidden expert who had his eye on Xiang Xing was not an expert from a powerful race or force, but rather a wandering expert.
Chu Xuan’s gaze focused on a certain place in the nine zones, which was covered in red flames so hot that they would even melt a divine artifact.
The aura of the flames here was similar to the aura Chu Xuan sensed from that hidden expert.
Was this that expert’s previous cultivation abode? Or perhaps even his residence?
Chu Xuan instructed Xiang Xing to head over to that place, which was an underground cave, and cultivate.
Xiang Xing was born with fiery bones and cultivated the Fire Dao principle. With his Dao realm cultivation, he could withstand the heat of the red flames.
Chu Xuan patiently waited. Xiang Xing would need time to comprehend the Fire Dao principle exuded by the red flames.
As Xiang Xing continued to cultivate and comprehend the Fire Dao principle, Chu Xuan pondered on whether he should pick another scapegoat. He was not sure if the dragon race expert could handle two enemies.
Then, Chu Xuan’s gaze turned towards Wang Luo, Ding Yue, Qian Ming, Hei Yue and Qin Ying.
There was even someone eyeing Qin Ying as a chess piece, as well as Ren Changhe. It seemed that even his in-name disciples might yield him some rewards.
The only two who did not seem to attract the attention of these hidden experts were Chu Pingfan and Kingslayer, as they were both Extreme Dao cultivators, which made them unsuitable vessels.
Perhaps if that remnant wisp of consciousness of the third ancestor of the human race was still alive, then one of those two might have been targeted.
Aside from the Extreme Dao being unique in terms of cultivation, selecting one as a vessel was problematic in other ways.
The probability of an Extreme Dao cultivator dying prematurely was too high, which was too much of a risk to take for these hidden experts’ plans.
Chu Xuan then turned his gaze to Du Yuan and the little evil king.
After the transformation process, Du Yuan’s physical body and talents improved significantly. Although he was not among the top-level Heaven’s Blessed, he was at least qualified to be one now.
The little evil king, on the other hand, had officially risen to prominence.
His talent was extraordinary, and his fate was also strong. He continued to pursue the evil son, searching doggedly for his whereabouts.
Although Chu Xuan suspected that their opportunity had to do with a plan laid out with the giant race, up till now, no connection had been made with either Du Yuan or the little evil king.
Ji Dexin was also getting stronger. Given Ji Dexin’s status as a half-saint of the celestial race in his previous life, Chu Xuan was still curious as to what his true intentions were.
Ji Dexin possessed a supreme treasure that could block the prying of the Heavenly Dao laws. Furthermore, it appeared that there was a hidden expert behind him too.
Why was he helping the human race?
Furthermore, it even seemed like he wanted to become a human king.
Was it for real, or was it all a facade?
Would he turn on the human race after becoming a human king?
Among the experts of the three races back then, many were once humans.
However, they had separated themselves from the human race and no longer acknowledged their identity as human beings. Even their bloodlines were different.
Chu Xuan fell into a state of deep thought.
Had Ji Dexin been one of those human experts from back then, and had reincarnated into the Ji family after a change of heart?
It was not impossible, although the probability was a little small.
Furthermore, did the human king of the Ji family know about this?
Was Ji Dexin part of the latter’s plan?
On the human side, only Yang, the tenth ancestor of the human race, had appeared.
There were many questions, but not enough answers. In any case, Chu Xuan had to focus on his cultivation. Only by being strong enough would he be able to deal with the situations thrown at him once the Great Dao calamity arrived.
