Ninth In the World

Sha Wushang watched the unconscious Sha Puyu with a frown. After half an hour, he suddenly put his hands between Sha Puyu’s eyebrows.

 Another half-hour passed before Sha Wushang took away his hands, his eyes full of strong killing intent.

 “Father?” Sha Huangtian, who could make out Sha Wushang’s killing intent, immediately asked. He had always thought that his son Sha Puyu had entered a coma due to a problem with his cultivation.

 Since there was a problem with his son’s cultivation, why did his father have such a killing intent?

 Sha Wushang said calmly, “I can’t blame you for this. Given your current strength, you are indeed unable to find out what is wrong with Yu’er.”

 “Father, what happened to Puyu?” Sha Huangtian hurriedly asked.

 Sha Wushang replied coldly, “Someone has stripped off Yu’er’s Dao Seed…”

 Only an expert in the second-step Dao Validation could see that Sha Puyu’s Dao Seed had been stripped away. His son Sha Huangtian’s cultivation level was only at the early-stage Dao Transformation, so it was normal that he could not make it out. As for the Dao physicians and Alchemy Deities that Sha Huangtian had invited over, they had definitely only been at the first step, as he was not qualified to invite any second-step Primordial Dao experts.

 “What?” Sha Huangtian had surging killing intent all over his body that seemed to have manifested. How dare he strip away his son’s Dao Seed? He simply had a death wish.

 “Dao Seed cultivation?” Even Sha Wushang could not help but exclaim in surprise, as he had never heard that the Dao Seed could be cultivated before.

 The Dao Seed was a seed condensed through a cultivator’s Dao. This seed was condensed with the approval of Heaven and Earth according to a cultivator’s Dao strength. From a certain perspective, this was also an embodiment of a cultivator’s aptitude. The higher the cultivator’s aptitude was, the higher his Dao Seed would be.

 Sha Wushang suddenly thought of Sha Puyu’s aptitude rising all along. Could this be related to such a Dao Seed cultivation technique?

 Since Sha Wushang could think of it, Sha Huangtian could naturally do so as well. Both of them looked at Sha Puyu in anticipation.

 Sha Puyu continued speaking. “This Dao Seed cultivation is a kind of inheritance and needs to be inherited face to face. I killed that cultivator and inherited his Dao Seed before condensing my Dao Seed…”

 “But why did you leave the Dao Seed outside?” Sha Wushang, who was puzzled, asked.

 Sha Puyu added, “Because this Dao Seed cultivation requires absorbing the Dao Seeds that have yet to be condensed and the Dao traces of the cultivators that are about to condense their Dao Seeds. Only when it sweeps away all these cultivators’ Dao and condenses them can the Dao Seed continue to mature…”

 The Wormhole! Sha Huangtian and Sha Wushang looked at each other and understood what was going on at the same time. The Dao Seed needed to condense and absorb the Dao traces of the cultivators that were about to form their Dao Seed. What could be a better place besides the Wormhole?

 All the Immortal Emperors went to condense their Dao Seed and model their Dao at the Wormhole.

 “You left the Dao Seed in the Wormhole?” Sha Wushang asked in a low voice.

 After Sha Puyu made a sound of acknowledgement, he said regretfully, “I should not have hidden this from father and grandfather. After I condensed my Dao Seed, I wanted to tell grandfather and father about the level of my Dao Seed. I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect…”

 Both Sha Wushang and Sha Huangtian understood what Sha Puyu meant. He had wanted to give them a pleasant surprise and let them have expectations from him.

 “Since your Dao Seed is already hexagonal, if someone destroys it, it will be gone regardless of whether grandfather and I can kill them.” Sha Huangtian was furious, as he felt that Sha Puyu was simply ignorant. How could he leave his Dao Seed somewhere outside?

 If only he was aware that the Dao Seed needed to be protected…

 “Father, my Dao Seed is already heptagonal…” Sha Puyu replied in a low voice.

 Upon hearing this, Sha Huangtian became even more furious. After all, the Dao Seed he had condensed back then had been only pentagonal. He was a genius among geniuses who had a heptagonal Dao Seed.

 Sha Wushang gestured with his hands, indicating that Sha Huangtian should not get furious. He then calmly said, “This cannot be entirely blamed on Puyu. I guess that the cultivators have to get close so that the Dao Seed can absorb their Dao traces. If you send someone to protect that Dao Seed, someone will find out sooner or later. In the end, nobody will get close enough to the Dao Seed for it to absorb their Dao traces.”

 “Yes, grandfather.” Sha Puyu sounded gloomy. Once he had realized that he could not find his Dao Seed, he had no longer been able to condense a Dao Seed of this level or continue cultivating a cultivation technique of that kind of Dao Seed condensation.

 Sha Wushang slowed down. “Yu’er, what is your cultivation technique called? And where did you leave your Dao Seed?”

 “Grandfather, my cultivation technique is called the Nirvana Dao Seed Dao technique. I left the Dao Seed in the Northern Lake of the Wormhole, which later became known as the Murderous Dao Lake…” Sha Puyu was terrified about whether his Dao Seed could be found.
