The group from Wanfa Tiangong stood atop the clouds, slightly adjusting their formation. Although their energy was depleted and their disciples were exhausted, everyone was intact and no one had perished. They were the most successful and rewarded force in the entire Dao Ruins exploration.
“Young Miss, the Dao Ruins have closed, and the turmoil has temporarily subsided. We should return to the Heavenly Palace immediately to stabilize our Daoist cultivation and review our gains and losses,” the elder in green robes asked in a deep voice.
“Um.”
Su Qingyuan nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on David, who stood calmly to her side. Her heart softened even more. “Return.”
The group did not linger. They took to the air and, riding on the vast expanse of clouds, steadily returned to the Celestial Starfield where the Myriad Laws Palace was located.
The journey through the clouds is vast and safe, with a gentle breeze and no danger, chaos, or fighting.
The disciples completely relaxed, restoring their spiritual energy while secretly rejoicing at the enormous gains they had made from this Dao Ruins.
The two elders also closed their eyes to meditate, silently comprehending the primordial Dao energy they had absorbed from the Dao Ruins, and sorting out their cultivation path.
Su Qingyuan stood at the front of the group, dressed in white, her figure graceful and elegant. In her heart, she was also silently comprehending the true essence of the Heavenly Dao that was sealed in her Dao Heart.
That wisp of Daoist charm was too profound, too pure, and too vast. Even if it was merely sealed and dormant, it was continuously nourishing her Dao foundation and elevating her Dao heart.
She originally planned to return to the Heavenly Palace, then go into seclusion to study and comprehend this supreme Daoist essence, gradually dismantling, absorbing, and refining it, thereby breaking through the shackles, advancing in the Great Dao, and perfecting the Daoist lineage of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace.
But no one expected that a sudden change would occur at that moment!
At the end of the line, David, who had been well-behaved, silent, and seemingly without any abnormalities, suddenly emitted an extremely profound, ancient, and domineering wisp of Heavenly Dao light!
This ray of light was neither dazzling nor ostentatious, yet it carried an unparalleled pressure that surpassed all heavens and ruled over all paths, instantly enveloping the entire Heavenly Palace team!
The next instant, the true Dao essence of the Heavenly Dao, which was firmly sealed within Su Qingyuan’s Dao Heart and which no one could comprehend or shake, suddenly took off into the air on its own!
The golden, flawless sphere of Daoist light broke through the seal and escaped control, instantly soaring through the air to David’s front. It docilely and affectionately surrounded him, like a wanderer returning to his homeland, returning to his original place!
Then, to the astonishment and disbelief of everyone present, the supreme Daoist essence that countless geniuses and veteran experts fought tooth and nail for, and which no one could easily shake, flowed into David’s body like water returning to the sea and returning to its source, all flowing through the top of his head!
Completely silent, without any obstacles, and in an instant!
The true essence of the Dao, which is rare throughout the ages and has been accumulated over thousands of years, was thus easily, simply, and without any hindrance absorbed by David!
Not a drop left, not a trace left!
The entire sky above the clouds fell into a deathly silence!
All the disciples of the Myriad Laws Palace, including the two veteran elders, froze in their tracks, their breaths stopped, their pupils contracted sharply, and their faces were filled with disbelief, horror, and rage!
The deathly silence lasted for three breaths, instantly igniting the fury of the entire audience!
“How dare you!!!”
The elder in the green robe glared, roared, and the ancient and imposing aura of a Celestial Lord surged instantly as he locked onto David, his anger reaching its peak, “How dare you, you brat!”
“You dare to secretly embezzle and forcibly steal the Heavenly Dao Essence that my young lady fought to the death and fought so hard to obtain!”
The white-robed elder was instantly enraged, his face turning icy cold and filled with murderous intent. His spiritual energy was taut, ready to strike at any moment. “My Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace has protected you, treated you kindly, and been generous to you. Yet you are ungrateful and repay kindness with enmity, stealing opportunities! You are a wolf in sheep’s clothing, audacious and reckless!”
The disciples of the Heavenly Palace instantly flew into a rage, their fighting spirit boiling and their killing intent chilling. They all raised their hands to form hand seals and lock onto David, their eyes filled with indignation and fury.
No one could accept the reality before them!
That was the supreme Dao Fruit that Su Qingyuan obtained through a life-or-death crisis and a bloody battle! It was the core opportunity for the future advancement of the entire Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace! It was the Heavenly Dao Origin that countless people dreamed of but could never attain!
It was actually stolen and absorbed completely by this seemingly timid and humble lowly cultivator who had relied on others all the way and was treated kindly and protected by everyone!
Repay evil with kindness, and repay kindness with enmity!
This betrayal, this theft, this greed instantly ignited everyone’s anger!
