Chapter 1976: Chapter 872: Eastern Sorrow, Setting Foot in Burial Calamity_2

When Han Yi was promoted to middle-stage Divine Sovereign, it was Saintly Fierce Venerable who issued the summoning command, gathering all the Divine Sovereigns to hunt the Tomb Beast in the Chaos, and Han Yi had seen this high-stage Divine Sovereign once because of certain reasons.

Although Han Yi encountered many high-level Heavenly Venerates in the Primordial Demon Hall, in reality, that can be said to be close to the entire scale of the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, where countless major forces converged.

Under normal circumstances, a high-level Heavenly Venerate or high-level Divine Sovereign placed within the mighty Taichu Divine Race would certainly be among the top echelons.

Previously, Dongfang Du mentioned that after Dongfang He encountered trouble, it was Saintly Fierce Venerable who went to the Burial Disaster Dao Domain to investigate the cause of his downfall, but to no avail.

This time, Han Yi came hoping to obtain some clues from Saintly Fierce Venerable, to have a basic understanding before heading to the Burial Disaster Dao Domain himself.

On God Mountain, Han Yi stayed only for a quarter of an hour before descending the mountain, his brows deeply furrowed, his thoughts incessantly turbulent.

“Burial Disaster Dao Domain, Yellow Wind Valley.”

From the mouth of Saintly Fierce Venerable, Han Yi learned that the trail led to Yellow Wind Valley initially, but was then lost.

Yellow Wind Valley is a deadly ravine within the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, one of the ten most dangerous places, where even high-level Heavenly Venerates must tread carefully and dare not act recklessly.

Even with the capabilities of Saintly Fierce Venerable, after exploring Yellow Wind Valley, nothing was uncovered, leading to a reluctant return.

However.

Saintly Fierce Venerable speculated that Dongfang He had likely been tracking something, pursued it all the way to Yellow Wind Valley, and ultimately perished there, his body and dao vanishing.

Han Yi took note of this perilous place, then headed towards the Nangong Clan’s ancestral land.

Upon arriving at the Nangong Ancestral Land, the atmosphere throughout the clan’s territory became incredibly intense, each of the Nangong Clan Members extremely excited.

This was because a middle-tier Divine Sovereign, although often away, had undoubtedly become the key stand of the Nangong Clan.

Upon reaching the Nangong Clan, Han Yi only met Nangong Xian; from Nangong Xian, Han Yi learned that the Nangong Clan Leader, namely Nangong Hao, was currently in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Divine Sovereign realm.

Seeing this, the sadness in Han Yi’s heart due to Dongfang He’s demise was somewhat alleviated.

This is the characteristic of the Chaos Divine Race, this clan fights against both heaven and earth, flourishing ceaselessly; numerous Divine Sovereigns have perished, but new Divine Sovereigns continuously emerge as well.

Without hesitation, he took out fifty Origin Crystals and handed them to Nangong Xian to be passed to Nangong Hao.

These fifty Origin Crystals, though still precious to him now, offered limited enhancement; if given to Nangong Hao, they could provide significant assistance in his breakthrough.

Following that, he took out a Supreme Treasure he had obtained from the Primordial Demon Hall, which was a Spirit plant called the Ten Thousand Paths Vine.

He had not sold the Ten Thousand Paths Vine in Taichu Pavilion because this Spirit plant was very special; once refined by a Cultivator and fed enough crystal ores, it could become a powerful Spirit Plant weapon.

With the resources of the Nangong Clan, they could elevate the Ten Thousand Paths Vine to the level of Ancient Artifact before Nangong Hao formally faced the Divine Sovereign Tribulation, and this Ancient Artifact would be under full control, allowing Nangong Hao to possess the combat power of a Divine Sovereign in the Peak Infinite Realm.

Overjoyed, Nangong Xian received the Origin Crystals and the Ten Thousand Paths Vine and respectfully performed a bow.

Han Yi waved his hand; although his current strength was formidable, he had always been generous and not haughty with cultivators who once assisted him, never being miserly.

If Nangong Hao ascends to Divine Sovereign, gaining even greater strength to protect the Nangong Clan, it would also be a good thing for him.

After Nangong Xian left, Han Yi sat down in a cultivation palace within the depths of the Nangong Clan territory.

This cultivation palace, situated even in a more advantageous geographical location than where the Clan Leader cultivated in seclusion, had always been reserved for him by the Nangong Clan over the years.

Han Yi took out all the Origin Crystals, and apart from the fifty given to Nangong Hao, he still had one thousand two hundred and twenty-five.

This considerable amount was the largest batch of Origin Crystals he had acquired so far.

With a thought, he began to absorb these Origin Crystals, converting them all into Life Seeds.

Simultaneously, he began burning Life Seeds for cultivation, and the cultivation system he chose was the Divine Race system.

Meaning, between the Divine Canons and the Sword Scriptures, he chose the Divine Canons.

This was a decision he made after deep contemplation. Compared to the Immortal Path system, the Divine Clan system possessed evidently stronger combat capabilities, and considering his location in the Ancestral God Star, it was naturally more fitting for him to break through to a High-stage Divine Sovereign here.

Once the promotion was completed, his status within the Taichu Divine Race and even the Ancestral God Star would definitely rise to a higher level, providing him substantial support for any issues he might encounter in the future.

In the cultivation palace, the place was permeated with surging Taoist Immortal Spirit Energy, and the aura of Source Energy leaked from shattered Origin Crystals was also gradually becoming more intense.

Three days later, Han Yi opened his eyes and slightly shook his head.

His heart, troubled by the death of Dongfang He, could not settle down.

Under such circumstances, absorbing Life Seeds was not a problem, but cultivating with the seeds was flawed due to his unstable state of mind, potentially burying hidden dangers.

Thus, Han Yi decisively stopped.

He had initially planned to break through to a High-stage Divine Sovereign before heading to the Burial Calamity Dao Domain, but now he had to go ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, his Immortal Dao Realm had risen to a Middle-stage Heavenly Venerate, and he was accompanied by the high-level ancient artifact, the Qingping Jian; in terms of strength, he was comparable to a seasoned High-stage Divine Sovereign and was on par with Saintly Fierce Venerable.

If Saintly Fierce Venerable could make the journey safely, naturally, so could Han Yi.

Thinking this, he looked at the panel, where the Life Seeds had reached thirty-six million, equivalent to absorbing three hundred sixty Origin Crystals, which was about one-third of his total.

In a few more days, he would be able to absorb all the Origin Crystals, and by then, exceeding one hundred million Origin Crystals, those would be the foundation for Han Yi’s breakthrough to a High-stage Divine Sovereign.

However.

On the cultivation front, it was far from being that quick. Originally, it took him three thousand years to break from an Initial-stage Divine Sovereign to a Middle-stage one. If he were to break through from a Middle-stage to a High-stage Divine Sovereign, Han Yi estimated that it would take at least three times longer, approximately about ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years later, the traces left by Dongfang He in the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, likely would have been completely erased in the Dao Tomb Storm, making the search immensely more difficult.

That was also why Han Yi could not wait, nor could he cultivate in peace.

After standing up, Han Yi walked out of the cultivation palace, his Divine Thoughts moving silently, sweeping across the entire Nangong Clan, he noticed a slowly increasing aura in the cultivation site of Nangong Hao.

“The aura is strong, the foundation is stable, the Clan Leader’s Divine Sovereign Tribulation, should not be difficult to overcome.”

“With the addition of the Ten Thousand Spirit Vine I gifted, the chances are even greater, no need for my worries.”

Han Yi nodded, his figure flashed, and he vanished from the spot.

He did not go to greet Nangong Xian, nor did he interrupt Nangong Hao’s closed-door cultivation.

To Han Yi, the Nangong Clan was the third place in the Taoist Spirit Chaos World, besides the Ancient Great World and the Great Wilderness Dao Palace, where he felt at peace.

After leaving the Nangong Clan, Han Yi crossed the external Void, passed the Divine Shield, and returned to the normal Chaos Space, then followed the Star Chart, heading south.

From the Ancestral God Star to the Calamity Transcendence Domain, there were two directions; Han Yi did not take the route towards the Primordial Demon Dao Domain because that direction meant passing through the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain, and even for him, if he could avoid it, he naturally would.

The other direction was walking through Fu Heng, via Heavenly Destiny, Ancient Netherworld, Guang Han, to Burial Calamity, which, although slightly farther, was relatively safer compared to those domains.

Now, with a speed comparable to a High-stage Divine Sovereign, he sped along his journey, ignoring even the Tomb Beasts he encountered along the way. Ultimately, it only took him half a day to reach the Burial Disaster Dao Domain.

Crossing through the Guang Han Dao Domain border, via the passage, when he stepped into the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, Han Yi’s expression slightly changed.

The Chaos Space before him was distinct from the balanced attributes of Fu Heng Dao Domain, unlike the demonic nature of Primordial Demon Dao Domain, or the extreme cold of Guang Han Dao Domain.

Death, destruction, calamity, decay, obliteration…

The Chaos Space before him was filled with all of the deepest negative attributes, if it were an ordinary Dao Realm, even just setting foot in this space was perilous.

“This is the Burial Calamity Dao Domain.”

Han Yi took a deep breath and stepped forward.
