Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

It seems that the person who killed my junior brother is none other than Wang Teng, the Celestial Court Master.

That Current World Divine Page (Part One) is also in Wang Teng's possession now.

Liu Dao Ancestor pondered expressionlessly.

Behind him stood ten people, each with a weathered face, their expressions exceptionally respectful, as if they dared not disturb Liu Dao Ancestor.

Bai He Lady and Elder Beishan were among these ten.

In fact, these ten people were Liu Dao Ancestor's Ten Great Travelers.

Liu Dao Ancestor's travelers were all living beings, and all had reached the Celestial Human Peak, incomparable to Lun Hui Ancestor.

Standing beside those ten travelers was a man, middle-aged, with thick brows and large eyes, bearing some resemblance to Liu Dao Ancestor.

The aura emanating from him had reached the Early-Stage Void God Realm!

At this moment, Liu Dao Ancestor turned around.

The man quickly stepped forward: "Father, judging from the recent hint, Wang Teng from the First Division has obtained the first Heaven-Suppressing Divine Artifact, clearly indicating that Uncle Lun Hui was killed by Wang Teng!"

This man turned out to be Liu Dao Ancestor's son, named Jiang Taichu, already an existence at the Early-Stage Void God Realm.

Liu Dao Ancestor nodded slightly: "It should be him!"

Jiang Taichu continued: "I just don't know what kind of power Wang Teng possesses, that even Uncle Lun Hui fell prey to him!"

Liu Dao Ancestor sneered: "I bet that young man who chased the Jade Talisman today must be Wang Teng, his strength is nothing special!"

Jiang Taichu's eyes lit up: "Indeed! Ordinary people wouldn't chase the Jade Talisman! That person must be Wang Teng, right, father, what is Wang Teng's true strength?"

Liu Dao Ancestor pondered for a while and said: "Judging by his attack, it's merely at the Peak of the Void God Realm, his defense, even if slightly stronger, is just at the Void God Realm Limit."

"My junior brother Lun Hui's ultimate strength should infinitely approach the Void God Realm Limit. Logically, my junior brother should be stronger than Wang Teng, so it's likely Wang Teng used some despicable plot!"

"Otherwise, he couldn't have killed my junior brother! It's probably because my junior brother was careless, after all, that kid barely reached the Earth Tier Realm, which is quite deceptive. Even I, in a moment of carelessness, let him escape."

Liu Dao Ancestor complacently analyzed the situation, showing a look of regret.

Obviously, he mistook the Wood Element Avatar for Wang Teng!

Overall, Liu Dao Ancestor severely underestimated Wang Teng's strength.

Not to mention Wang Teng, even the Wood Element Avatar had significantly enhanced power at this point.

Recently, Wang Teng continuously received rewards, his strength skyrocketing.

The power of the Wood Element Avatar also rose with the tide.

At this moment, Yuan Taichu continued to ask: "Father, since Wang Teng's strength hasn't reached the Void God Realm Limit, why not go to the First Division now, kill him, and retrieve the Current World Divine Page, the item you desire most!"

Liu Dao Ancestor slightly shook his head: "No rush! According to the rules, a Secret Keeper of my level can only act in the third round of the Points Contest without suffering Celestial Punishment's backlash. If I act now, I'd be targeted by Celestial Punishment, causing unnecessary trouble."

Saying this, he gazed at the starry sky, sighing deeply.

"Moreover, I'm at the crucial moment of breaking the Celestial Punishment Curse, this matter cannot be delayed!"

"Once I completely break this Celestial Punishment Curse, my strength will surge, ultimate power comparable to the True God Realm, making it easy to kill that rogue Wang Teng!"

Jiang Taichu nodded repeatedly: "Exactly! In this case, let that rogue Wang Teng survive a few more days. By the way, father, once you break the Celestial Punishment Curse, can you infinitely resurrect these travelers?"

Liu Dao Ancestor smiled and nodded: "Yes! Once the Celestial Punishment Curse is broken, all my divine techniques will be restored as usual. The only regret is that the Yin Yang Body can't be used anymore."

"Enough~! Let's not talk about this, you should start acting now!"

"Me?" Jiang Taichu was puzzled.

Liu Dao Ancestor nodded: "Seven thousand years ago, I first endeavored to compete for the Fertile Star Realm Star Lord position, but ultimately became a candidate without passing the final Star Lord Trial."

"I failed! A hundred years ago, my junior brother Lun Hui informed me that he was about to aspire to the Star Lord position. Alas, he died before his journey began. Thus, you return to the Seventh Division and fight for this term's Star Lord candidate position."

Jiang Taichu was surprised: "Father, I'm only at the Early-Stage Void God Realm, I fear I can't secure the candidate position!"

Liu Dao Ancestor smiled: "You may be at the Early-Stage, but your strength matches the Mid-Stage Void God Realm, qualifying you to contend for the Star Lord position. Furthermore, I'll assist you in the third round to secure the candidate position."

"Even if you don't become the Star Lord, securing the candidate position, with its generous rewards, will greatly benefit you!"

"This is why my strength surpasses your uncle Lun Hui's significantly."

"Becoming the Star Lord is a luxury; do not dwell on it."

"In the Fertile Star Realm's millions of years, a Star Lord has yet to be born, with your talent, becoming a Star Lord candidate is a great opportunity."

After hearing these words, Jiang Taichu suddenly understood.

It turns out both his father and Uncle Lun Hui tried to run for the Star Lord candidate position for those ample rewards and opportunities.

Whether or not one becomes Star Lord, it all comes down to fate!

Now, with Uncle Lun Hui's demise, the candidate opportunity falls to him to seize.

With this realization, his eyes gleamed, his heart ablaze.

The opportunity for a Star Lord candidate is immense!

The disparity in strength between his father and Lun Hui Ancestor attests to it.

Immediately, Jiang Taichu said: "Father, I shall return to the Seventh Division now, acquire the Suppression Object, and consolidate the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Artifact."

Liu Dao Ancestor nodded: "Go! Besides, I'll send eight travelers with you, their assistance will speed up the consolidation of the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Artifact."

With those words, Liu Dao Ancestor turned towards the ten travelers.

"Bai He and Beishan stay, the remaining eight follow the young master back to the Seventh Division!"

"Yes, Master!"

The eight travelers agreed in unison.

This time, Jiang Taichu returned home determined to lead the Six Paths Mausoleum, becoming the Heaven-Suppressing Force of the Seventh Division.

As Jiang Taichu departed, Liu Dao Ancestor resumed his seclusion.

Bai He and Beishan were left to guard the Sea Mist Nest.

Throughout, Liu Dao Ancestor never considered Wang Teng a threat.

He even mistook Wang Teng's clone for him personally, severely underestimating Wang Teng's prowess.

...

At this moment, in the starry sky.

Wang Teng, Little Douzi, and the Gold Element Avatar stood by the Star Gate, waiting for Qian Lingxue.

Just then, Wang Teng seemed to sense something, a joyful expression on his face...

...
