As for Ding Yue and Xiao Liang, they were lone wolves who did things their own way, and it was common for them to offend people.
Yang Tian was fighting with a Dao realm foreign race expert for a treasure. Both sides were on evenly-matched and after two hours, there was still no winner.
At that moment, Yang Tian's body trembled, and a wisp of consciousness descended into his body.
The foreign race expert seized this opportunity and tried to kill him with a powerful strike.
However, as soon as it touched Yang Tian, it turned into ashes.
Yang Tian's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Ancestor, I almost died there."
"Haha, it was just an ant. While I'm around, there's no way something like that can hurt you."
"Ancestor, why have you come here this time?"
"To see the changes in the nine zones."
Chu Xuan looked at Yang Tian and at the wisp of consciousness.
Although it was just a wisp, it could be seen that the other party was very powerful.
He then looked at the Northern Region of the Western Zone.
That fellow from the ancient demon race seemed to be preparing to descend with a wisp of consciousness as well.
He smiled. The nine zones belonged to him. Without his consent, it was wishful thinking.
Chu Xuan was not in a hurry to get in touch with Yang Tian's ancestor.
Instead, he was waiting for Yang Tian to ask his ancestor about the Extreme Dao.
Thanks to the Heavenly Dao laws, he could listen in to their conversation.
In fact, as long as Chu Xuan needed it, he could read the thoughts of any living being under the Heavenly Dao laws and control their consciousness.
Of course, Chu Xuan would not do that.
The Heavenly Dao had its own laws, and he would not rashly interfere.
Everything had to follow the laws.
If he meddled too much, it would affect the Heavenly Dao, and even cause it to deviate.
The Great Daoyuan and Great Dao calamities were essentially methods by which the Great Dao reset the nine zones. If the Heavenly Dao laws were broken, it was likely that there would be a Heavenly Dao calamity as well in the future.
Of course, the Heavenly Dao laws themselves might contain a similar mechanism anyway.
The ancestor controlled Yang Tian's physical body and walked through the Desolate Ancient Zone. His eyes flickered with light as he looked at the sky above the nine zones.
However, he could not see anything.
He felt that something was wrong, but could not tell what it was.
Perhaps he was overthinking things.
It was not unusual for strange things to occur during calamities.
"Ancestor, you said you're my ancestor, but I don't even know your name," Yang Tian said.
"You can call me whatever your surname is."
"Yang?"
Yang Tian asked, stunned.
"Then I'm Yang, your ancestor. No one in the nine zones will recognize or remember me now anyway," Yang said with a chuckle.
"Ancestor, how many generations are we separated by? Do I still have your bloodline?"
"Of course you do. It's just a little thin. I'm powerful, so my descendants won't disappear even after countless years. Even if it's a little thin, when the opportunity comes, it can be purified."
As Yang walked, he began to chat with this descendant from god knows how many generations apart.
"We're separated by several eras, but you've actually activated your ancestral bloodline. How strange."
He had chosen Yang Tian for this reason, as it allowed him to easily descend with his wisp of consciousness.
Otherwise, he would have to pay an even greater price to descend.
Chu Xuan listened in silence. The other party was called 'Yang'?
How many eras had passed?
He was indeed an ancient expert of the human race.
In any case, Yang was currently just a wisp of consciousness, so he was unable to discover Chu Xuan spying on him using the Heavenly Dao laws.
"Ancestor, since the human race has such powerful experts like yourself, why are we so weak? I heard that in the past eras, the human race was a weak race," Yang Tian asked curiously.
Yang remained silent for a moment before he said, "The time is not right. The human race can't become strong. It can only become strong for a brief period, after which it will suffer a severe blow."
"The current human race may seem strong, but they're not that strong in reality. You just have to remember that the human race is still in a difficult situation."
Yang Tian was even more confused.
"Ancestor, the human race is the overlord of the nine zones. Why would we still be in a difficult situation?"
"You're too weak, so you wouldn't understand. The human race's current position as the overlord of the nine zones is only temporary. The nine zones will soon welcome a drastic change."
Yang Tian did not understand his explanation, but since his ancestor did not continue, he did not pursue the matter. Instead, he changed the topic.
"Ancestor, are there many human experts like you?"
"You little rascal."
"You still have a few old friends, right?"
Yang smiled.
"I'm one of the ten ancestors of the human race," he said after a pause. "I'm the tenth Saint of the human race."
Chu Xuan's heart trembled when he heard this. The tenth human to reach the Daoyuan realm?
Were the first nine still alive?
If they were all alive, there would be at least ten top experts in the human race.
"Ancestor, there are so many supreme experts in our human race? Why are you not in the nine zones?"
