One couldn't blame Ji Tianxing for having such thoughts. It was because he had experienced too many things.
For example, before he entered the Star of Origin, he would often sense the Heavenly Axiom and receive certain insights and revelations.
Another example was when he led Yun Yao, Ji Ke, and the others to do many things to save the world.
Everyone received blessings and divine rewards from the Heavenly Axiom, but he did not receive any.
He had long wondered if there was a special connection between him and the Heavenly Axiom.
He did not dare to imagine that he was the Son of the Heavenly Axiom, an incarnation, and the Chosen One. At the very least, he was different from others.
Because of this, when everyone was about to leave the Door of Heavenly Axiom, he had the idea of giving it a try.
Although he did not know the story and origin of the Eternal Fire and the Door of Heavenly Axiom.
Why did one have to ignite the Eternal Fire to open the Door of Heavenly Axiom?
But he wanted to give it a try. What if he could ignite the Eternal Fire and open the Door of Heavenly Axiom?
Wouldn't that mean that he could enter the Door of Heavenly Axiom and obtain eternal life?
Ji Tianxing wasn't imagining things when he had such thoughts. Instead, he really did sense it.
It was as if the Door of Heavenly Axiom was calling out to him, guiding him to ignite the Eternal Fire and open the door.
Ji Tianxing was not reckless and impulsive. He had considered the consequences.
He had also thought that as long as he tried to ignite the Eternal Fire, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he would be noticed by the four Temple Masters and the Asura God Emperor.
When that happened, his identity would definitely be exposed.
With the Lord Temple Master's strength and insight, he would definitely be able to tell that he had possessed the body of the Desolate Race's God King. In fact, he was the God Emperor of a foreign race.
If he failed to ignite the Eternal Fire, he would most likely be besieged by the Temple Masters and be beaten back to his original form.
When that happened, the Asura God Emperor would recognize his identity and incite the Temple Masters to take the opportunity to kill him.
After all, he was the foreign race's God Emperor. He had possessed the body of the Desolate Race's God King and sneaked into the Shang Qing Temple.
He could not ignite the Eternal Fire and was of no use to the Shang Qing Temple.
Then, he would almost certainly die.
On the other hand, if he ignited the Eternal Fire, the outcome would be very different.
First of all, the four Palace Masters and the Asura God Emperor would still notice him and expose his true identity.
However, once he ignited the Eternal Flame, he would be able to open the door to the Heavenly Dao.
At that time, the Shura God Emperor would definitely be shocked and terrified, and would want nothing more than to incite the four Palace Masters to kill him to prevent future troubles.
However, the Shang Qing Temple placed the opening of the Gate of Heavenly Axiom and obtaining immortality as their top priority.
There was a great possibility that the four Temple Masters would not kill him. Instead, they would control him or negotiate with him so that he would be used by the Shangqing Temple.
At that time, the Asura God Emperor's lies would be exposed, and Ji Tianxing would be proven to be the chosen one.
In that case, Ji Tianxing could negotiate with the lords of the Shang Qing Temple and ask them to help him besiege the Shura God Emperor and kill the Shura God Emperor.
However, Ji Tianxing's cooperation with the Shang Qing Temple was undoubtedly like asking a tiger for its skin. It was very dangerous.
If he was used by the Shang Qing Temple, he might be able to obtain immortality and master the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.
However, the greater possibility was that after he opened the Gate of Heavenly Dao, the lords of the Shang Qing Temple would leisurely enter the Gate of Heavenly Dao.
Ji Tianxing was not sure how the Gate of Heavenly Dao would allow one to obtain immortality.
If, as the chosen one, he wasted his only opportunity to help the Palace Master obtain immortality, it would be a great loss.
In short, Ji Tianxing's action was very dangerous, but it was also a very rare opportunity.
The risk was great, but the reward was also very high.
Ji Tianxing was about to turn around and leave the team of guards to go to the Gate of Heavenly Dao to ignite the Eternal Fire.
However, at this moment, the Fifth Palace Master, who was in charge of the rear, suddenly glared at Ji Tianxing and scolded him, "Bastard! Why are you still in a daze? "
The Palace Master and Third Palace Master walked at the front of the team while the Fourth Palace Master and the Asura God Emperor were in the middle, on the left and right sides of the team.
The Fifth Palace Master stayed at the back of the team and was in charge of the rear, so naturally he was watching everyone's every move.
When Ji Tianxing made a strange move, he detected it and stopped him in time.
Luckily, Ji Tianxing's reaction was fast enough and he made a decision in an instant to stop his earlier thoughts and plans.
He lowered his head silently and followed the team to fly out, gradually leaving the Gate of Heavenly Dao.
Seeing that he was no longer acting strangely, the Fifth Palace Master didn't take it to heart. He only thought that he was frightened by the divine power and had not regained his senses.
Anyway he was only an eighth stage realm God King. Since he followed the team obediently, the Fifth Palace Master didn't pay any more attention to him.
The Fourth Palace Master and the Asura God Emperor in the middle of the team, as well as the First Palace Master and Third Palace Master at the front, all had their own thoughts and didn't have time to pay attention to others.
Hence, Ji Tianxing didn't attract the attention of the Palace Masters and kept a low profile among the crowd.
…
If he had continued to move earlier, the result would be that he would be targeted by the Palace Masters at the next moment.
At that time, before he could activate the Eternal Fire, he would be caught by the Palace Masters.
What happened after that would be too risky.
So Ji Tianxing decided to endure it.
Anyway, there was already animosity between the Asura God Emperor and the Palace Masters. Sooner or later there would be a problem.
Moreover, the Asura God Emperor was also injured.
Ji Tianxing still put killing the Asura God Emperor as his top priority. Exploring the Eternal Fire and the Gate of Heavenly Dao could be put aside for later.
Everyone hurried on their journey in silence, flying towards the border of the Eternal Night Sea Domain.
The journey back was exceptionally easy, unlike the ice blades and frost swords, wind, fire and thunder that filled the sky.
Other than some traps and arrays that were activated along the way, and there were various attacks occasionally, there wasn't much danger.
In the end, the entire team had another ten guards who accidentally lost their lives while the rest safely returned to the area where the fleet was.
However …
When everyone arrived at the area where the fleet was, they found that it was empty in front of them.
The fog in the sky and the pitch-black sea beneath their feet were both motionless and terrifyingly quiet.
There was no sign of the fleet within tens of thousands of miles.
The Palace Masters were stunned on the spot. They frowned in puzzlement and thought to themselves, "What's going on? Where's our fleet? "
"Didn't we ask them to stay here? Why is there no sign of them? "
"Did we remember the wrong location? There's nothing here! "
Not only were the Palace Masters stunned, but the seventy surviving guards were also dumbfounded. They looked around and didn't know what to do.
The Hall Masters gathered together and discussed in private through voice transmissions.
"Are you sure you didn't remember the wrong location? The fleet stopped here? "
"Could it be that we chose the wrong direction when we came out?"
"It shouldn't be wrong! We've walked that path a few times and are very familiar with it. "
"Something must have happened!"
"But if something happened to the fleet, the Grand Elder and the Guard Commander will definitely send us a message!"
"There's no point in discussing it here. Let's send them a message and tell them about Keke's situation."
