Chapter 216 The Source of Tao

The moment Chai Xin saw the carriage, he immediately realized where he was, as mentioned in the original book.

Before he could think about it, the carriage had already appeared out of nowhere, and its speed was extremely fast, not much slower than his.

In the carriage, a petite stone figure as crystal as jade was sitting cross-legged and breathing. With every movement and stillness, he was absorbing and exhaling the essence of heaven and earth as vast as the sea of ​​clouds.

This appearance is very similar to the Holy Spirit in the legend, but Chai Xin knows that this is not the Holy Spirit, but a living being conceived from a stone womb, that is, Baoyu's spiritual power, transformed into a human.

Strictly speaking, they can be considered a demon clan - jade demon.

"My fellow Daoist has come from afar, and I apologize for not welcoming you in person. I am very rude!" The Jade Demon in the carriage seemed to sense something, and slowly stopped breathing, and even stood up and bowed slightly to Chai Xin.

As the saying goes, if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him ten feet. Chai Xin was not a boastful person. He immediately clasped his fists and returned the greeting, saying, "I am sorry for being rude. I have the audacity to step into your territory. It is really beyond my expectation. I hope the owner of this place will not blame me."

The jade figurine is jasper in color all over and looks like a young man, but his demeanor is quite steady, like an old demon who has lived for who knows how many years.

Hearing what Chai Xin said, Yu Yao smiled even more and nodded gently, saying, "Over the years, there have been many trialists who have mistakenly entered the medicine garden, but there are only a handful of people like you who are so polite and considerate. It's rare!"

"So you are the assessor here, sorry for the inconvenience!"

As early as the moment he saw the carriage, Chai Xin had guessed Yu Yao's identity. This statement was just deliberate, and the more polite the better.

In the original novel, this jade demon had a weird temper and hated it most when others didn't respect him enough. For this reason, he even had a big fight with Longma. Chai Xin would naturally learn from that lesson.

He was not afraid of the other party. After all, he was just a saint with good cultivation and could not pose a threat to him.

However, this jade demon was defeated in a battle with a strong human being and was imprisoned here as a guide for this level.

If you offend the other party to death, you will not be able to get any information about the future from him, and you may be targeted by this world.

Although Chai Xin could force his way through with his own strength, the time consumed would inevitably be prolonged, which was not cost-effective.

"I can't be called an examiner, I'm just a defeated person, I have no choice but to be here to guide you human trialists."

The jade demon actually stroked his non-existent beard, shook his head in an air of superiority, and looked full of emotion.

"Young man, you can go out of the medicine garden from here. I have something to tell you. It is said that the source of Tao has appeared ahead. It will be of great benefit to you if you get it. Even at the worst, you can become a king."

The so-called "Heavenly King" is probably the Saint King. It is just a different term unique to the demon clan. Chai Xin had heard Yan Ruyu mention it before.

The source of Tao, this is also something mentioned in the original book. Ye Fan is not fortunate enough to enjoy it because he is not recognized by the Tao of heaven and earth.

It is said that there are thirty sources of the teachings, while some say there are forty-nine. There is no consensus.

But one thing is certain: the source of Tao can enhance people's potential and realm, and help people to be as steady as a rock when overcoming disasters without worrying about their lives.

Moreover, Chai Xin is different from Ye Fan. He is a congenital Tao fetus. There is no reason for him to be rejected by the source of Tao. Logically, both parties should be attracted to and close to each other.

Stepping onto the ancient trial road of the human race, this thing is also one of Chai Xin’s biggest goals.

"Excuse me, senior, is the news accurate? Has anyone obtained the source of the Tao?" Chai Xin asked.

The Jade Demon slowly shook his head and said as a matter of course: "How can the source of the Tao be obtained so easily? Moreover, if someone succeeded, how could you latecomers have a share?"

Chai Xin smiled. It seemed that he had set foot on the ancient trial road several decades earlier than Ye Fan in the original novel, which was a good thing.

In the original novel, when Ye Fan set foot on the Ancient Road of Trial, most of the Source of the Tao had been taken away decades ago, and only a little was left.

Now that he is here, he will naturally do his best to get it.

"Thank you for the advice, Senior. Please accept this small gift."

Chai Xin flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, which contained some magical springs from the Kunlun fairyland. It could not only help in cultivation, but also had great benefits for the growth of various spiritual medicines.

Yu Yao was very happy. He had never met such a sensible trial-taker in all these years. Moreover, he loved growing flowers and plants, as could be seen from this flourishing medicinal garden.

This bottle of magical spring water really touched his heart.

"Oh, you are very sensible! This makes me feel a little embarrassed... I might as well give you another piece of news!"

The Jade Demon put away the Jade Bottle and his expression became much more friendly.

"The news of the emergence of the Source of Dao was discovered by my Nine Heavens Divine Jade Clan and several other clans. Therefore, you should be the first one among this batch of trial participants to know about it. So hurry up. Once the news spreads, those strong men who have already gone forward will surely be tempted and turn back."

"Thank you for your guidance, bye!"

Chai Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, this time it was not a loss.

He still has a lot of sacred springs in the Kunlun Fairyland, and if he needs them, he can go back and get them when he becomes stronger.

Using these little things to exchange for the news about the Jade Demon was indeed a pleasant surprise and well worth the money.

"Well, go ahead. Even if I won't tell the newcomers, the other tribes may not. This news will spread sooner or later. It will only happen in the next few days."

The little jade man stroked his non-existent beard, looking like an old immortal giving advice to others.

Chai Xin saluted again, then turned into lightning and rushed towards the direction the other party pointed.

"Wow, this speed is much faster than my horse!"

The little jade figure then realized that the strength of the young man just now seemed to be even greater than his own.

"It seems that a new star will rise in this ancient human trial path... provided that he can withstand the strong men coming back from the front."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little man urged the carriage to go deeper into the medicine garden.

Chai Xin followed the direction pointed by the jade monster, stepped on the secret of "Xing", and quickly escaped from the medicine garden and came to an open place.

After leaving the medicine garden, the original feeling of oppression disappeared instantly, and the circulation of divine power immediately returned to normal.

It seems that the little jade man set up some formations and restrictions in order to protect his medicine garden and limit the strength of those who break in.

"Kill!"

"Boom!"

Before Chai Xin could carefully observe his surroundings, a group of people suddenly came roaring and charging. They were a group of demonic beings with extremely tall bodies, at least ten feet tall.

It is completely different from the jade man I saw before.

What appeared before my eyes was a battlefield, with many men and horses fighting each other. The place was filled with chaos and blood, with corpses scattered all over the ground.

Facing the dozen or so giants with muscular heads and ferocious looks who were rushing towards him, Chai Xin casually shot out a ray of divine light, which shattered them all.

There were more than a dozen people at the peak of the Slash Dao, but they were wiped out by him with one move, which immediately quieted the noisy battlefield. Many soldiers who were fighting turned their attention to him. "The despicable Nine Heavens Kingdom actually invited strong reinforcements. We will evacuate first and wait for the follow-up army to arrive!"

The leader of the giants shouted angrily and ordered his men to flee quickly.

"You are a human trialist, right? You came out of the medicine garden. Could it be that you were instructed by the great elder to come here to help us?"

At this time, a little man with purple glow all over his body flew over quickly. Except for the color, he was almost the same as the previous jade man.

Chai Xin knew that this was also an elf transformed from the Nine Heavens Divine Jade. The previous one was transformed from the Nine Heavens Blue Sky Divine Jade, and the one in front of him was transformed from the Nine Heavens Purple Flame Divine Jade.

However, this purple jade figure is obviously not as powerful as the jasper figure in the medicine garden, and his cultivation is only at the semi-saint level.

"Those were the armies of the Demonic Nation. We have sensed the breath of the legendary source of Tao in the past few days, so a war broke out due to the competition. Can you join us and share the source of Tao?"

The purple jade figure had obviously witnessed how powerful Chai Xin was just now, and thought that he was the jasper figure in the medicine garden, who was introduced by the so-called great elder, so he stepped forward to win him over.

"Don't worry, we in the Nine Heavens Divine Jade lineage value our promises the most. We are much more reliable than those guys in the Demon Kingdom, the Spirit Kingdom, and the Divine Kingdom. We will never deceive you!"

Several little figures of various colors came up to persuade them. It was obvious that they were all transformed from various types of Nine Heavens Divine Jades. Now they formed a country and regarded each other as their own clansmen.

According to these people, the reason why they are willing to guide the trial-takers here for the strong human beings, apart from the reasons for their defeat, is because according to ancient legends, there is the source of Tao here.

Otherwise, given the arrogance of these races, they would rather die than lose their freedom.

However, they did not expect that it was not until this life that someone actually witnessed the appearance of the Source of Tao.

"I advise you to leave immediately. I have a powerful enemy. If you stay here, you will only die in vain."

Chai Xin was listening to the stories of the people from the Nine Heavens Kingdom when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes, illuminating the void in the distance.

The next moment, a familiar figure fell from the void. It was the second of the Three Heroes of Gouchen, Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen's expression was full of surprise. After all, he was close to the level of a supreme saint, and he also used a magical weapon to conceal his whereabouts, but he was seen through by Chai Xin at a glance.

The Three Heroes of Gou Chen had passed this level before, so they were naturally quite familiar with the situation here. They had arrived here long before the passage to the first city of the human race was opened and set up an ambush here.

At the same time, what surprised them was that news of the Source of Tao was actually spreading here.

They knew then that the opportunity to atone for their sins had come. If they could obtain the source of the Tao, what would a Saint King's weapon mean to them?
Of course, these three brothers were not without greed and wanted to monopolize the source of Tao.

However, in order to deal with the person who refined the Sky-Slaying Spear, he had already sent a message in advance to recruit many colleagues under the lord who were carrying out tasks not far away.

Some of those people are even stronger than the Three Heroes of Gou Chen, and they also learned the information about the Source of Tao. It is impossible for them to conceal it.

Therefore, the three of them made up their minds to take advantage of the opportunity to gain the recognition of the Source of Tao. If they really couldn't do that, they would use this opportunity to atone for their sins.

"You evil creature, you do have some good eyesight!"

Although his whereabouts were discovered by Chai Xin, Xiao Shen did not panic. His eyes were full of ferocity and he did not conceal his murderous intent at all.

The Three Heroes of Gou Chen also received the news that the Source of Tao appeared here, so they came together. The other two were also searching nearby and it only took them a moment to arrive.

Moreover, in Xiao Shen's opinion, even if Chai Xin's strength was beyond his expectations, he would definitely not be able to crush him easily.
The villains of the Jiutian Divine Jade lineage originally wanted to win over a strong ally, but when they saw that Chai Xin's enemies were so powerful, just a trace of leaked aura was almost unbearable for them.

"Take care of yourself. If you can survive, we can discuss cooperation."

"This person is no small matter. We are definitely not able to contend with him. We can only say goodbye first."

In the blink of an eye, Chai Xin was the only one left on the field.

"Why are you the only one here? Where are the other two dogs?"

Chai Xin asked in a calm tone with a calm expression.

Xiao Shen became furious upon hearing this, his aura rising wildly, and the three-headed demon wolves under his crotch roared, and the wind and clouds in the sky changed accordingly.

"Beast, you are courting death!"

Xiao Shen roared and urged the beast under his crotch, wanting to kill Chai Xin at all costs to relieve his hatred.

At the same time, Li Qianling and Gu Xianru had already sensed something, and they transformed into streams of light and arrived at an extremely fast speed. They temporarily gave up the search for the source of the Tao and wanted to kill Chai Xin in one fell swoop.

However, Chai Xin was quicker than any of them.

Before Xiao Shen went crazy, the moment he finished speaking, a dazzling light flashed under his feet.

The next moment, Xiao Shen just roared angrily, and before the three-headed demon wolf could even take a step, Chai Xin's figure had already approached.

"you!"

Xiao Shen's pupils contracted suddenly, and he felt a numbness in the back of his head, and his heart seemed to have stopped beating.

He felt an infinitely terrifying breath of death, as if it came from the underworld, wrapping around his entire body, making him unable to move and even breathing becoming extremely difficult.

Chai Xin had a cold expression on his face, his right fist created a purple cloud all over the sky, and with the blessing of thousands of Dao rhymes, the heaven and earth trembled.

Countless powerful people who rushed over after hearing the news couldn't help but feel their foreheads twitching.

In the distance, Li Qianling, who had already appeared in the sky, looked even more horrified and shouted angrily, "How dare you, little thief?"

But Chai Xin's fist was not affected at all, and still hit Xiao Shen's forehead with great determination.

"boom!"

Red and white objects were scattered at the same time, and a strong smell of blood filled the place.

Then, a ball of clear light emerged from the blood mist with its fangs and claws bared, but before it could escape, it was shattered by Chai Xin's hand.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Shen, who was only a step away from becoming a supreme saint, was completely destroyed.

"Beast! I'm going to kill you!"

Li Qianling's eyes were bloodshot, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to solidify into substance, like two sharp knives, stabbing at Chai Xin, who had a cold expression.

The three heroes of Gou Chen have practiced together since childhood, fought side by side for decades, and shared life and death together, and have long been as close as brothers.

The death of Xiao Shen had dealt him a much greater blow than that of his junior fellow apprentice brother Xu Tianming.

"Come on, I've been hearing you barking since the first city of the human race, and I'm already tired of it."

Chai Xin killed the three-headed demon wolf with a snap of his fingers, and cast his eyes towards Li Qianling indifferently.
