“I see in you the image of my younger self; you are decisive and exceptionally capable,” Dao Kun continued.
Tan Yun felt a warmth in his heart at the praise, and a sense of responsibility washed over him.
“Thank you for your guidance, Dao Kun. I will strive to live up to your expectations,” he replied earnestly.
Dao Kun nodded, his expression turning serious. “The path ahead is fraught with challenges, and the deep blood feud with the Beast Clan is not something to be taken lightly.”
Tan Yun's expression grew solemn. He understood the weight of their situation, the stakes involved, and the importance of their mission.
“I will not shy away from the struggles we face. For the sake of the Human Race and those I care about, I will fight with all I have,” he declared with determination.
Dao Kun's eyes sparkled with approval. “That is the spirit. Remember, the strength of a leader lies not only in his power but also in his ability to unite others.”
Tan Yun nodded, absorbing the wisdom. He knew that to face the Beast Clan effectively, they needed to stand together, united in their purpose.
“Let us prepare then,” Dao Kun said, breaking the solemnity of the moment. “We have much work ahead of us, and every step we take will shape our future.”
With renewed resolve, Tan Yun felt ready to embrace the challenges that lay ahead, guided by the words of the wise elder.
Tan Yun bowed and said, “Thank you for your generous praise, senior.”
“Yun'er, I am leaving now. Focus on comprehending the Four Arts Insights and the Four Arts Secret Classic.” Dao Kun’s murky gaze was filled with deep expectations, “If one day your mastery of the Four Arts can reach the level of my master, then no one in the entire supreme ancestor realm would dare to look down on our Four Arts Star Domain.”
“I have full confidence in you; promise me you won’t let me down.”
Tan Yun nodded heavily, “I will work hard.”
“Good, I believe in you. Your Immortal Ancient Divine Race has a tenacious will that no Divine Race has surpassed throughout history.”
Just as Dao Kun was about to leave, Tan Yun suddenly thought of something and called out to Dao Kun.
“What’s the matter, Yun'er?” Dao Kun asked.
Tan Yun’s eyes revealed a longing as he said, “What you do not know, senior, is that although I am of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race, the cultivation method I practice only has the first half, but not the second half.”
“If I cannot find the second half of the method, my ability to challenge beyond my level will be greatly diminished as my realm increases.”
“I want to ask you, do you know where my ancestors of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race were annihilated by the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty, Southern Ancestral Dynasty, Northern Ancestral Dynasty, and Elysium Sect?”
Dao Kun pondered for a moment and said, “You wish to go check if your ancestors left behind any cultivation methods before they died, right?”
Tan Yun nodded seriously, “Yes! I believe my ancestors must have left something for future generations, and the cultivation method is likely to be in the place where they died.”
“Hmm, you make a good point. Let me think.” After a long pause, Dao Kun’s eyes brightened as he said, “Yun'er, I suspect there are three places that are very likely to hold the cultivation methods of your Immortal Ancient Divine Race!”
Tan Yun was jolted with excitement, “Please tell me!”
Dao Kun stated, “It is said that back then, the Immortal Ancient Divine Race was encircled and killed in three locations.”
“The first location is the Western Continent Ancestral Mountain within the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, which is closest to the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb.”
“And the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb has yet to be reached at its deepest point by anyone. Many people suspect that the most important treasures inside belong to your Immortal Ancient Divine Race!”
“Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb!” Tan Yun carefully memorized the name before asking, “And the second location?”
