TL: Etude
Jiong seed to have sensed the arrival of Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer, and thus did not activate the restrictions on the dicine Garden and the Dao Field.
Previously, whenever True Monarchs entered the Dao Field, Jiong would no longer limit entry. As long as a True Monarch arrived, he would open the restrictions and allow them to enter. If a True Monarch left, Jiong did not restrict their exit either, keeping the restrictions open.
In truth, the restrictions at the entrance of the dicine Garden had remained open most of the ti.
However, with the arrival of Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer, those long-open restrictions had now closed, showing no signs of reopening.
This indicated that Jiong feared Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer! While the strength of this incarnation might not have been particularly overwhelming, its insight and other ans far surpassed those of ordinary True Monarchs.
Jiong was willing to allow True Monarchs to enter but hesitated to admit a Dao Ancestor incarnation.
This was because a Dao Ancestor incarnation would not obediently cultivate within the treasured land or participate in any trials. Instead, it would forcibly occupy the Dao Field and plunder the treasures and opportunities within.
“A powerful restriction, but it won’t stop !” Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer said softly.
The restriction here was, after all, sothing Dao Ancestor Crimson Dragon had set up casually. It lacked the intricacy of the great protective formations that required years of painstaking effort to arrange.
With Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer’s deep understanding of formations, it wouldn’t take too long to unravel this restriction.
…
Within the Crimson Dragon Dao Field:
Jiong, observing the Dao Ancestor incarnation through the restriction, wore a grim expression.
“The arrival of a Dao Ancestor incarnation—this is troubleso!”
He had long anticipated this possibility, though he had hoped the arrival would be delayed, giving him more ti to control additional True Monarchs.
If he could cultivate and enhance these True Monarchs’ strength through various thods, even producing a puppet at the True Ancestor level, it would be enough to block the Dao Ancestor incarnation effortlessly.
But now, there wasn’t enough ti.
Jiong was not a true living being; he was rely the spirit of the Crimson Dragon Dao Field. Dao Ancestor Crimson Dragon had not granted him the abilities of a living being. He could not cultivate, nor could he unleash significant strength.
His only option was to manipulate the restrictions within the Dao Field. Unless the Dao Ancestor incarnation entered specific areas, he could only trap it with the restrictions but would struggle to kill it.
The problem was that a Dao Ancestor incarnation would never walk into a trap so easily.
“The best course of action now is to attract the True Monarchs into the Crimson Dragon Pool for transformation,” Jiong thought.
He imdiately made a decision: to fully open the Crimson Dragon Pool, enhance its effects twofold, and notify the other True Monarchs.
This would undoubtedly prompt many of the True Monarchs to enter the Crimson Dragon Pool at the earliest opportunity.
Of course, so True Monarchs might grow suspicious or cautious, but that wouldn’t matter. Greed would dominate the majority. What mattered most was controlling as many True Monarchs as possible.
…
Ti slipped away little by little. Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer continued to study the restriction, but dismantling it quickly proved unrealistic.
After all, this was a formation laid down by Dao Ancestor Crimson Dragon, further complicated by the specific restrictions within the Crimson Dragon Dao Field. It also had certain nuances connected to the chaotic region surrounding it.
Thus, Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer needed more ti to research it; otherwise, brute force would be the only option.
However, being rely an incarnation, the Dao Ancestor couldn’t display overwhelming power, making it impossible to break the restriction through sheer force.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Then, on this day—
Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer let out a wild laugh:
“Hahaha! I’ve finally cracked the restriction!”
With his hands forming a series of seals, he struck them onto the restriction.
Soon, the restriction began to dissolve, revealing a massive opening.
However, at that mont, the expression of Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer changed.
“Damn it, Earth Gate, Moon Dream, Wind Elder—you three ca as well!”
Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer cast a cold glance toward the distant horizon and spoke in a chilling voice.
“We’ve been here for a while. We just didn’t want to interrupt your concentrated effort to break the restriction,” a voice responded.
As soon as the words fell, three figures materialized—it was none other than three more Dao Ancestor incarnations.
These three Dao Ancestors, upon learning about this Dao Field, had hurried over imdiately. However, noticing that Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer was working on breaking the restriction, they had opted to remain hidden and observe in silence.
At this point, Ye Tian finally beca aware of the presence of the three Dao Ancestor incarnations behind him, and his expression imdiately shifted.
The concealnt abilities of Dao Ancestors were far too formidable; even he hadn’t noticed their arrival.
What alard him more was the faint sense of a cold, hostile gaze from one of the Dao Ancestors. Though it had only been a brief glance, it was enough to grab his attention.
“Which one of them harbors ill intentions toward ?” Ye Tian silently speculated.
He didn’t know much about these three Dao Ancestors. All he knew was that Dao Ancestor Moon Dream ca from Dream Valley, while the other two were unfamiliar to him.
“Ye Tian, you’d better be careful! That Dao Ancestor Earth Gate is from the Blood Moon Sect, a hidden Dao Ancestor who was only recently exposed. Your Void Sky Lineage has enmity with the Blood Moon Sect, so watch out!” Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer warned him.
He didn’t offer this warning out of concern for Ye Tian but simply because he had his own personal grudge with Earth Gate. If Ye Tian could cause so trouble for Earth Gate, that would suit him just fine.
“Thank you, Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer!” Ye Tian transmitted his gratitude telepathically.
The four Dao Ancestor incarnations, however, did not start fighting imdiately. After all, it would have been foolish to engage in battle without even seeing the opportunities they ca for.
Though Dao Ancestor Earth Gate clearly intended to kill Ye Tian, he restrained himself. This wasn’t the right mont—getting into the Dao Field was currently the priority.
With a loud swish, the four Dao Ancestor incarnations entered the Dao Field. Ye Tian followed closely behind—he had no choice. If he tried to escape, the four Dao Ancestor incarnations certainly wouldn’t let him.
Boom! Jiong appeared, wielding the power of the Crimson Dragon Dao Field, descending with the aura of a supre existence. However, this was only an illusion of power—re bluster without actual strength.
Naturally, the Dao Ancestor incarnations saw through Jiong’s act and completely ignored his posturing.
Jiong glared furiously at Ye Tian. “What the hell! Did you bring them here?”
Ye Tian quickly waved his hands. “I didn’t bring them here! They found this place on their own, and I didn’t say anything!”
Jiong knew Ye Tian hadn’t revealed anything. He was rely venting his frustration.
“So, four Dao Ancestor incarnations have descended. What do you all want with the Crimson Dragon Dao Field? There’s nothing valuable here—just a few minor things useful only for True Monarchs and True Ancestors!” Jiong smiled faintly as he spoke.
“There’s no need to explain. We know there’s Dao technique inheritance here, along with many precious treasures,” Dao Ancestor Moon Seizer responded.
Jiong sighed helplessly. “Just a few weak Dao techniques—not worth much to you Dao Ancestors. Besides, Dao Ancestor Crimson Dragon isn’t dead. If you plan to harm this place, you might want to think carefully.”
“What? Dao Ancestor Crimson Dragon isn’t dead?” Ye Tian was instantly stunned upon hearing this.
