"We are going too."
Standing not far away, Zhao Han and the others all spoke up simultaneously.
Chen Nan shook his head, looked at everyone, and smiled bitterly, falling silent for a long ti.
Among these people were his friends and his family, especially for his son, Chen Yi; Chen Nan felt a lot of guilt. From childhood to adulthood, he hardly showed him any fatherly love.
However, he was not the kind of person overly sentintal and indecisive. The mont the thought crossed his mind, he imdiately cast all worries aside.
Nonetheless, Chen Nan was very clear in his heart that this trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield wasn’t just for Ou Yifei’s matters. He also needed to find his master, Xuan Tianji, to see why they temporarily couldn’t return.
Even though Xuan Tianji didn’t say anything, Chen Nan vaguely felt that sothing must have happened; otherwise, with their Supre Cultivation, how could they be trapped in the Outer Domain Battlefield?
"Senior Brother, since you’ve already thought it through, we won’t force you. But Sister Ziyun’s Cultivation is powerful; when the ti cos, make sure you take her with you," Ye Yiyi thought for a mont and said. She could see that Ziyun was truly sincere toward Chen Nan, so she considered her one of them.
The Ghost Master seed to recall sothing at this ti, glanced at Chen Nan, then looked at Zhao Han and Tao Zui in the distance, "Chen Nan, if you are determined to go to the Outer Domain, there’s sothing I feel is necessary to say now."
Zhao Han and Tao Zui still stared at each other with hostile eyes when they t, which always puzzled Chen Nan, but they never spoke of it.
The Ghost Master pondered for a while, then said, "Zhao Han, Tao Zui, as you grow stronger, so mories must slowly awaken. The hostility between you, even the urge to kill each other, is understandable. I’m very gratified that you can unite against the Heavenly People Clan, but..."
The Ghost Master shifted his tone: "Your true identities are—far from ancient tis, among the four great powers that divided the Four Extres World, you are the two halves of the master of the Tao Realm, the ancestor of Cultivation."
"Dao Ancestor!?"
Everyone present was shocked.
The Ghost Master nodded and said, "That’s right. After the Dao Ancestor’s fall, his Divine Soul split in two, wandering for endless ages, eventually reincarnating into the two of you. Therefore, both of you wish to beco the strongest because you were born as geniuses, with your own glory and mission."
Chen Nan was taken aback; he truly didn’t expect this outco.
Zhao Han and Tao Zui looked almost identical; at first, even he didn’t recognize them.
The identity of the founder of the Tao Realm, it’s really...
No wonder Zhao Han is a genius of the Taixuan Taoist School, and Tao Zui is a formidable figure of the Taixuan Sacred Land, both possessing supre Cultivation Talent.
Given that they are the reincarnated Divine Soul of the Dao Ancestor, even though the soul split into two, their Cultivation Talent far surpasses that of ordinary people.
As for why they mutually despise each other, Chen Nan could actually comprehend the feeling.
It’s like clones on Earth; if a person identical to you suddenly appears in your life, and that person essentially is you, anyone would feel fear...
Chen Nan remained silent after the Ghost Master’s words.
"Zhao Han, Tao Zui, what you’ve always awaited is a battle of life and death. Am I wrong?"
The Ghost Master smiled as if seeing through everything: "Victory ans life; defeat ans death. It’s indeed a good outco for you. But have you ever considered that if one of you truly dies, the defeated will be forgotten by history."
The Ghost Master seed lost in thought, and Chen Nan couldn’t see through him.
If he didn’t want Zhao Han and Tao Zui to have a life and death battle, why bring up the founder of the Tao Realm and their ancient identities?
If he wanted them to fight, why wouldn’t he just stand by and watch calmly? Yet, he seed to have lingering worries.
"Senior, what exactly do you want?" Chen Nan couldn’t help but ask.
He cared deeply for these two friends, and he had long noticed that the hostility between Zhao Han and Tao Zui was growing stronger; even without this incident, a clash wouldn’t be far off.
If they truly fought, whom should he help?
Perhaps, their friends would end up in the most uncomfortable position, caught in the middle.
"Chen Nan, I’ve always thought you’re pretty smart, didn’t expect you to be so dull this ti. You care deeply for them, hence the confusion. Otherwise, given your wisdom, you should be able to figure it out," the Ghost Master sighed, Chen Nan’s emotional nature clouding his judgnt.
"Yes, senior, they’ve contributed greatly to saving the Mortal World, yet you want them to kill each other; I truly can’t understand..." Chen Nan couldn’t help but say.
He felt there was a reason behind the Ghost Master’s actions, just that he hadn’t yet grasped it.
"The fact is, their Divine Soul was split. Only by rging the dual souls can they achieve the highest talent."
The Ghost Master looked at Zhao Han and Tao Zui, "This is your destiny. If you desire to fight, understand this clearly, for only with clarity can the Dao Heart stay firm. Otherwise, even as the reincarnation of the Tao Realm’s foremost person, a broken Dao Heart will greatly affect Future Cultivation Talent."
Only then did Zhao Han and Tao Zui’s eyes et.
"Crack!"
Two dazzling rays shot from their eyes, four beams clashing in the void, seemingly about to tear open the Void.
This wasn’t a Spiritual Attack, rely eye contact.
Two pairs of eyes, four flashes, collided in the air like lightning surging.
Tao Zui spoke first, staring at Zhao Han, "Hard to believe, you’re the other half of my original Divine Soul."
"No need for words, let’s act."
The Nine-layered Ancient Tower hovered around Zhao Han; his words were still few, but his tone remained sharp, killing aura bursting.
His white robes fluttered, remaining the image of a graceful nobleman, he said, "Since it’s destined that only one of us survives, there really isn’t a need for more words. Just need to clarify sothing first..."
Before he finished, Zhao Han interrupted, "I know. If you die, your sister will be my sister."
Tao Zui indeed wanted to say this.
Two people he worried about most were his sister Tao Muxue, and the woman he secretly loved — Su Yixuan.
Similarly, Zhao Han also loved Su Yixuan, so this point didn’t need explaining.
The invisible Killing Aura from both spread, freezing the Void around.
Almost simultaneously, both spoke —
"Let’s do it, today we’ll determine superiority, and decide life or death!"
