In the end, Demon Saint Huang Quan let out a soft sigh. With a wave of his palm, that cluster of golden liquid floated before the two of them.

"Being able to come here, that is fate, and being able to endure the Yellow Spring Divine Anger, that is ability. The Yellow Spring ultimate techniques are not passed to the mediocre, and you two... are anything but mediocre."

At that, Demon Saint Huang Quan fell silent.

Then he looked at Wei Yang, "Thank you, for telling me the answer, allowing me to truly die without regrets. Though... not knowing the answer might have been better."

Wei Yang smiled and reached out to receive the golden blood: "Senior, there is no need to be like this. I have known the answer for a long time, but I never once thought about giving up or falling into despair. I rose from nothing and made it to where I stand today.

The wind rises from the smallest whisper, crosses mountains and valleys, and eventually becomes a world-shaking storm. Since the heavens impose shackles, then we will break them. If the road ahead is severed, then we will find a way to reconnect it."

As the golden blood landed in his palm, the vast and majestic surge of energy rippled outward, even causing his physical body outside to heat up as his blood boiled fiercely.

"Haha, well said!" Hearing this, Demon Saint Huang Quan laughed heartily and gave him a thumbs up: "Kid, you have spirit. I truly admire you."

"Yeah, senior brother said it perfectly." Xiao Yan took a deep breath, a fierce light bursting from his eyes as he nodded, "Right, so what if the road ahead is broken? We’ll find a way to continue it. If the heavens impose shackles, then we break them!"

He patted Wei Yang’s shoulder, his voice full of heroic passion: "Senior brother, from today on, aside from Hall of Souls, we now have another long-term goal. Let’s be the ones to reconnect that severed road for the generations after us!"

"Everything depends on human effort. Even if we fail in the end, when we reach our final days, we won’t feel regret. At the very least, we tried... right?"

Wei Yang smiled and nodded.

"So you wish to become pioneers... good. As long as you carry light in your hearts, you can illuminate the path ahead. I hope you succeed and shatter the shackles of this world. Open a way for the future generations."

Demon Saint Huang Quan nodded in satisfaction: "Take this blood essence as the small contribution of a senior toward your grand ambition."

"Many thanks, Senior Huang Quan." Wei Yang and Xiao Yan cupped their fists together.

Wei Yang flipped his hand, carefully storing the Demon Saint’s blood essence. When he looked up again, the mountain before them was already beginning to crumble.

The throne atop it also began to crack apart with countless fissures spreading. Demon Saint Huang Quan sitting upon the throne grew more and more ethereal.

"My mission is complete. I only hope that my ultimate techniques will not lose their brilliance and renown along with my fall."

"Senior, rest assured. We will definitely carry them forward." Wei Yang nodded firmly.

"Hehe, then thank you. I wish you success... in continuing the road ahead." Demon Saint Huang Quan smiled, a mixture of regret and relief on his face.

"A pity. I won’t see that day. I also regret not being able to stand beside you to take part in such a grand undertaking. But my time is up. I must leave."

"Safe journey, Senior."

Wei Yang and Xiao Yan stood up together, solemnly bowing toward Demon Saint Huang Quan.

"Hehe." Demon Saint Huang Quan chuckled softly and nodded. "Young ones, may fortune follow you."

Poof!

A faint sound rang out.

His body completely dissipated in that instant, scattering into countless points of light which then faded and went dark. As he vanished, the mountain and the throne collapsed with thunderous rumbling, finally dissolving into nothingness.

This lingering soul had relied on the Demon Saint’s blood essence to persist for so many years. Now that the blood essence had left, the remnant soul’s final light had burned out. Everything returned to the vast nothingness of the heavens and earth.

Dust to dust, earth to earth.

Wei Yang and Xiao Yan stood there silently, watching it all unfold. Staring at the darkness and emptiness around them, they couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, remaining silent for a long time. Another remnant soul had faded away.

A long while passed.

"Senior brother, if we fail to reconnect that severed path in the future... we’ll eventually face the same fate, won’t we?" Xiao Yan said with a trace of melancholy.

"Grow old day by day, and in our final moments, find some dark, empty place to bury ourselves... then leave behind a tiny remnant of our souls, waiting for someone in the future to discover it."

"You were full of fighting spirit just now, and now you’re sentimental?" Wei Yang laughed helplessly: "So little confidence... that’s not like you."

"Hehe, guess the moment got to me." Xiao Yan scratched his head awkwardly.

"Don’t worry, this world can’t hold us back." Wei Yang said confidently, "We can definitely go much farther."

"Easier said than done, but Origin Qi has completely vanished from the world. Where are we supposed to find that thing?" Xiao Yan said, troubled.

"Demon Saint Huang Quan, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, even my ancestor Xiao Xuan searched like mad for so many years, and they never found even a sliver of hope."

"If there is any place in this world that is most likely to still have that thing, then I can only think of one." Wei Yang clasped his hands behind his back and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan froze for a moment, then suddenly snapped out of it and blurted out, "The Tuo She Ancient God Mansion!"

"Correct, that’s the place. Tuo She Ancient God was the last Dou Di of the continent. If he could leave anything behind, it could only be the Origin Qi."

Wei Yang nodded, "Zi Yan’s father, the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, is trapped inside that place. And the Hun Clan has been scheming around the Ancient God’s Mansion for years. They wiped out the Ling Clan recently, most likely just to get their piece of the Tuo She Ancient Jade!"

"Damn it, then we need to hurry. We definitely can’t let the Hun Clan succeed." Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.

"Relax. We definitely won’t miss the final great battle. Just let the Hun Clan keep busy. Don’t stop them. Once they gather all eight pieces of Ancient Jade, they’ll definitely go open the mansion.

When the time comes, all we need to do is follow behind them to enter the Ancient God’s Mansion. We already know the mansion’s location. As long as we keep an eye on the Inner Academy, nothing the Hun Clan does can escape us."

Wei Yang laughed: "Before that, we shouldn’t do anything else. The only thing we need to do is raise our strength as much as possible."

"If by then we can reach High-level Dou Sheng, then with the two of us together, plus pulling Zhu Kun to our side, even Hun Tiandi would have to kneel. Everything the Hun Clan is doing is just stitching a wedding dress for us."

"That’s great!" Xiao Yan’s eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and grinned, "Hehe, so we’re basically the oriole hiding behind the Hun Clan, picking up the benefits? Let them work themselves to death gathering the Ancient Jade for us."

"If you want to reap the fisherman’s profit, then you must have patience. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to tell you this so early, but I was afraid you’d rush out to stop the Hun Clan and ruin everything, so I had to tell you in advance."

Wei Yang warned seriously, "Remember, this matter stays between you and me. Once you leave here, keep it buried inside your gut. Before the right time comes, you don’t say a word to anyone."

"Mm, don’t worry, I get it." Xiao Yan nodded firmly. Then he hesitated a little: "But... we’re just going to sit back and watch the Hun Clan slaughter those ancient clans and not do anything?"

"Those Ancient Clans biting each other like stray dogs. Why should we care?" Wei Yang shot him a sideways glance.

"Uh..." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, wanting to speak but holding back.

"You’re worried about that childhood sweetheart of yours, aren’t you?" Wei Yang lifted his hand and flicked Xiao Yan on the forehead, "Anyone who wants to achieve great things can’t be hung up on petty romance. Grow a spine!"

"Senior Brother, I don’t care much about the Gu Clan’s life or death, but Xun’er is different. She’s important to me. You know that." Xiao Yan said hurriedly.

"Relax. The Gu Clan is strong enough. They’re not like the Ling Clan, weak and useless. They don’t need us worrying for them. Besides, the Hun Clan probably won’t choose to fight them to the death. At most, they’ll try to trick them to get the Ancient Jade."

Wei Yang touched his chin and pondered, "Also, before they finish dealing with the other ancient clans, the Hun Clan definitely won’t rush to provoke the Gu Clan. That’s a tough bone to chew."

"They will leave that for last. When the time comes, we’ll keep an eye on the situation. If your little childhood sweetheart really runs into danger, we’ll step in and protect her."

"Then that’s fine." Xiao Yan nodded, "As long as Xun’er is safe, I don’t care about the others in the Gu Clan."

"That’s settled then. After we get out, you better keep this plan buried deep. If you screw this up, I swear I’ll kill you." Wei Yang reminded him again, still uneasy.

"I know, I know. Aren’t you confident in me?" Xiao Yan waved his hand.

"You’re the least reliable one."

"C’mon, senior brother, don’t say it like that. I only missed the timing a few times during the Hundred Reincarnations. In the end, I still made it, didn’t I?"

"Shut up. ’Made it,’ my ass. I was almost beaten to death! Don’t get me started. What kind of garbage habit is that? Other than arriving late, what else can you do right? If I had a choice, I swear I wouldn’t want to be teammates with you at all. You’re a walking disaster!"

"Senior Brother, you say that, and it really hurts my feelings." Xiao Yan leaned in shamelessly.

"Get lost. If I die one day, it definitely won’t be from an enemy killing me. It’ll be because of you. My heart will explode from the stress. I must’ve committed some huge sin in my past life to get stuck with a guy like you." Wei Yang kicked him away.
