Chapter 1515: Chapter 1515: Floating City
The Pier Dojo was vast and imposing, but within the entire dojo, or rather the entire mountain range, Pier was its sole occupant.
There were no disciples, no servant boys, no attendants or slaves.
Pier sat high on the cloud platform of the dojo, coldly gazing at the arrival of each Dao Ancestor from various factions.
Among these Dao Ancestors, so were quite famous, such as Bryden Vance Dao Ancestor, whose abilities were legendary. It was said that he had comprehended the mysteries of the heavens and earth, with Divine Skills that were ever-changing—one of the most formidable among all Dao Ancestors.
There was also the Yin Lady Dao Ancestor, the Three Purities Dao Ancestor, and others. Among them, there were rankings and a hierarchy.
For example, the Great Black Heavenly Demon was a newly ascended Dao Ancestor, making him the weakest in terms of influence and even Cultivation Level among all Dao Ancestors.
The competition between Dao Ancestors revolved around rit; the higher one’s rit, the stronger one would be.
In Pier Dojo of the Yuan Bao Mountain region, the Three Purities Dao Ancestor, Yin Lady Dao Ancestor, Great Black Heavenly Demon, and others had all gathered.
Pier made no effort to rise and greet them. He didn’t welco them with a smile but instead exuded cold indifference and a bloodthirsty aura. He was of the Blood Race—a creature of malice and darkness.
Of course, amidst the blood-laden atmosphere, multicolored energy shimred around him, a mark of his rank as a Dao Ancestor.
“Pier, you’ve ascended as a Dao Ancestor?!” The Great Black Heavenly Demon was the first to speak. He had known Pier, had even interacted with him before. Pier had once belonged to the Heart Dao Ancestor’s lineage, a connection rumored to be so close that the Heart Dao Ancestor had plans to bear children with him.
However, the Great Black Heavenly Demon had never bothered exchanging words with Pier. At the ti, Pier wasn’t deed worthy to converse with him.
But now, in the blink of an eye, Pier had risen to the rank of Dao Ancestor, standing on equal footing with him.
“Great Black Heavenly Demon, your timing is impeccable. I, Dao Ancestor Pier, demand sothing from you!” Pier addressed him directly, his gaze sharp as he said, “Hand over Heart Grandmother to !”
“Heh, aren’t you two Dao Companions? If she’s willing, I won’t interfere!” The Great Black Heavenly Demon sneered coldly. He understood Pier’s motives—it was nothing more than wanting to eliminate an old bat. For Pier, the existence of Heart Grandmother was an enduring humiliation!
“Hmph, I will go and find her soon!” Pier huffed coldly, then cast his gaze over the other Dao Ancestors present and declared, “Since you’re all here, take a seat.”
“There’s no need for that!” Bryden Vance Dao Ancestor stepped forward, waving his hand lightly as he said, “Since Dao Friend Pier has achieved rit-completion, we naturally welco you to our ranks. But as a Dao Ancestor, you still need to explain how you achieved rit-completion.”
rit-completion was the defining trait of becoming a Dao Ancestor.
The Great Black Heavenly Demon had attained rit-completion by leading deities and demons in refining the Nine Towers, rging the Nine Realms into the Eternal Life Realm—such was his rit, and thus he ascended as a Dao Ancestor.
As for Pier, none of them had even heard of him before now. So how had he, out of nowhere, achieved rit-completion?
“I accidentally swallowed a stone, and… well, here I am. Haha!” Pier laughed oddly.
Bryden Vance Dao Ancestor and the other Dao Ancestors furrowed their brows tightly; evidently, everyone could tell Pier was being nonsensical.
“That’s a rather insipid explanation,” the Yin Lady Dao Ancestor comnted.
“Oh? How should I explain it to make it interesting?” Pier suddenly stood, his gaze gleaming with malice as he retorted, “I’ve ascended as a Dao Ancestor, and you all co here not to congratulate but to interrogate ? Do I owe you an explanation?”
“Are you trying to intimidate ?” Yin Lady Dao Ancestor sneered coldly. “Do you think being a Dao Ancestor makes you invincible? Let inform you, Dao Ancestors are ranked into four grades, and you’re no more than a lower-grade Dao Ancestor—the lowest level. Believe , I could crush you in an instant with a flick of my hand!”
“Hahaha!” Pier laughed again darkly, nodding repeatedly as he said, “I believe you—I wholeheartedly believe you. All of you Dao Ancestors, including the Great Black Heavenly Demon, could defeat ; I’m no match for you at all!”
“Then how dare you be so arrogant?” Yin Lady Dao Ancestor lashed out.
“I’m without children, kin, disciples, or attachnts. You definitely have the ability to defeat , but if I choose to flee, it won’t be so easy for you to kill , will it?”
“Hmph, fleeing? What a joke!” Yin Lady Dao Ancestor laughed scornfully, and the other Dao Ancestors shook their heads. Reputation was paramount for Dao Ancestors; without it, who would respect them?
“True, if I stay and fight, I’d surely lose. But don’t forget this—if you fail to kill , I can massacre your entire family, slaughter all your disciples, obliterate every one of your preachers, and annihilate everyone dear to you!”
“So don’t provoke . Yin Lady Dao Ancestor, don’t provoke either. I know I’m no match for you, but I can still kill your Yuan Ying. That Yuan Ying—is she your disciple or your illegitimate daughter?” Pier licked his lips, his face morbid and bloodthirsty.
Yin Lady Dao Ancestor’s expression turned icy, her killing intent flaring up violently.
At that mont, Pier continued, “So as long as you don’t provoke , I won’t provoke you. Threatening the lives of your disciples and family—it’s my ans of survival. I am the lowest-grade Dao Ancestor, no doubt, but even the lowest-grade Dao Ancestor is not one to be trifled with. All I seek is to establish my own dojo and preach my own Dao.”
“Alright, none of us are stopping you from preaching your Dao. But let ask—do you wish to join our Dao Ancestor Alliance?” The Three Purities Dao Ancestor spoke up then, smiling kindly at Pier, as if he bore no grudge against him.
“Dao Ancestor Alliance? What are the requirents to join? What does one do after joining? Are all Dao Ancestors mbers of this alliance?” Pier asked curiously.
“You ask a lot of questions, but I can answer them one by one…” The Three Purities Dao Ancestor had only begun to speak when Yin Lady Dao Ancestor abruptly interrupted, “I refuse to let him join!”
“I also refuse!”
“I refuse as well!”
…
Several Dao Ancestors openly voiced their opposition, disregarding Pier’s presence entirely and offering him no face.
Pier was montarily taken aback, and even the Three Purities Dao Ancestor faltered briefly before shaking his head. “Very well, it’s settled then.” With that, he suddenly dissolved into nothingness, disappearing into thin air.
“Hmph!” Yin Lady Dao Ancestor snorted coldly before vanishing as well.
The other Dao Ancestors didn’t bother greeting Pier either; one after another, they transford into void and disappeared without a trace.
“F***!” Seeing all the Dao Ancestors depart, Pier cursed, enraged by their blatant exclusion. What nonsense is this Dao Ancestor Alliance? I don’t give a damn!
“Just wait. Once my master grows stronger, you’ll all be reduced to dogs!” Pier thought venomously to himself.
…
anwhile, Yusuf Zuck remained unaware of the events unfolding at Yuan Bao Mountain. At this mont, he was nearing the Floating City in the central region.
The central region of the Eternal Life Realm was controlled by an entity known as Ben Berry Dao Ancestor, a legendary figure said to be among the supre Dao Ancestors.
Dao Ancestors were ranked, and Ben Berry was believed to be of the highest grade. That massive, towering, steel-like Floating City was one of Ben Berry Dao Ancestor’s Magic Treasures—a magnified artifact in the form of a city. In essence, Floating City was a pocket dinsion, standing tall in the central region.
From a distant mountaintop, Yusuf Zuck gazed at Floating City, when suddenly, over twenty streaks of multicolored light zipped through the sky and disappeared into Floating City.
“I wonder whether the lord of Floating City, Ben Berry Dao Ancestor, will discover that I possess the Heart of the Giant Spirit!” Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, his eyes glinting sharply as he muttered, “Regardless, it’s worth the risk. The Heavenly Patching Stone—I must have it!”
