There were only one million years left before the three million year deadline.
After two million years of seclusion, Qin Xiao had already figured out many ways to open up the Ancient Road. However, he was still unable to take this step.
How could it be so easy to step onto the Ancient Road?
Taking this step was a qualitative transformation and an upgrade of one's fate.
The Ancient Road was actually a path that led to the Immortal Dao.
The Ancient Road was a path that pursued the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao.
Stepping onto the Ancient Road was to search for the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao. It would lead to the ancient times, peek into the ancient firmament, and master the Laws of the Immortal Dao.
Who would be the peak at the end of the Immortal Road? Stepping onto the Ancient Road would lead to the end of the mortal world.
Seclusion had already caused Qin Xiao to reach a bottleneck. Now, as long as Qin Xiao broke through this bottleneck, he would be able to break through and step onto the Ancient Road to become a Sage.
Taking this step would lead to a whole new world.
This was a whole new world, and it wasn't that easy to step out of it.
Although it was just a bottleneck, it was possible that it could even trap someone to death.
It was just a step away, and it would only take an instant to take it out. If one couldn't step out, it wouldn't work even if millions of universe epochs passed.
This was like the ancient firmament. How far away was it? One would never be able to travel through the long river of time and see through the ancient times.
However, if one stepped onto the Ancient Road, one would be able to see through the ancient times and see far, far, far away.
Although some things were just a thought, this thought was like a natural chasm that stretched across there.
It might seem close, but in fact, it was far away.
All of this depends on how you decide it.
There were still a million years left. How could he break through this bottleneck and step onto the Ancient Road to become a Sage? This was also what Qin Xiao was thinking hard about right now.
Blindly cultivating in seclusion was no longer feasible. Therefore, Qin Xiao was also thinking about how he could cultivate in order to achieve better results.
Now, he was looking for a good path to break through to the Sage realm as soon as possible.
He didn't have much time left. He only had a million years left.
A million years passed in the blink of an eye. Time waits for no man. He had to seize it.
Right now, the pressure on Qin Xiao naturally increased by a lot. If he had failed to complete this mission in the past, the most he would have done was fail to obtain the Holy Birth Guardian Order.
In fact, Qin Xiao wasn't worried about the safety of his family and friends. He could bring them all to the Immortal Domain.
Qin Xiao was only worried about the safety of the Primordial Universe. He couldn't move the Primordial Universe, so it would be difficult for him to protect it.
However, if there was really no other way, then he could only choose to sacrifice more. That was the only way.
Of course, Qin Xiao did not wish for such a thing to happen. He naturally wanted to protect his Primordial Universe.
Now, with the addition of the Heaven's Pride, there was a dangerous factor. If he couldn't break through to the Saint realm within a million years, the Heaven's Pride would definitely not show mercy in the Life and Death Arena. He would definitely kill him as soon as possible.
It was foreseeable that he would definitely die in the hands of the Heaven's Pride.
Therefore, the threat of death was deeply imprinted in Qin Xiao's heart, forcing Qin Xiao to work hard to break through.
He had to do it within a million years.
"Since the effect of cultivating in seclusion here isn't good, why don't I go out for a walk and enjoy the scenery? Maybe I'll get some good inspiration."
"When you're stuck in a bottleneck, the most important thing is a kind of spiritual release, a kind of liberation, a kind of transformation, a kind of transcendence. Only then can you understand and break through this bottleneck."
"How to step on the Ancient Road, how to open up the Ancient Road, I've almost figured it out. Only this last step is left."
"Although I've almost figured out the Ancient Road, these things are only theoretical after all. In fact, how to take this step is a practical action. It's very, very difficult."
"The main reason is that my foundation is a little weak and my accumulation is somewhat insufficient. Therefore, it's naturally not easy to break through in a short period of time."
"This step is the result of my shortcomings in various aspects. If I want to break through, I must have an epiphany. "
"Cultivating the heart is the most important thing. When you're stuck in a bottleneck, to put it simply, your heart is trapped in a puzzle. "
It was precisely because she thought of this that Qin Xiao wanted to go out and travel for a while. She wanted to relax her mind and body.
This way, it might be easier to break through.
Qin Xiao called Xiao Gu and left the Sacred Institute. Jing Yang and Xing Xing let them continue to cultivate in the Sacred Institute.
Qin Xiao didn't bring Ah Dong and Wu Qi with him. They would also give Jing Yang and Xing Xing appropriate guidance.
Qin Xiao didn't have to worry about anything after temporarily solving the problem of the Heaven's Pride.
After leaving the Sacred Institute, Xiao Gu asked, "Big Brother, where are we going?"
Where to?
Qin Xiao hadn't thought about this question. He didn't know where to go.
"Since we're going for a walk, let's do as we wish. Wherever we go, there's no need to deliberately care about the destination. Let's just walk around casually. Wherever we feel is good, we can stop and take a look, "Qin Xiao said after thinking for a while.
A million years, if used to travel and relax, was not a short period of time.
As for time, it was only when one was cultivating that they would feel that time passed by very quickly.
This time, Qin Xiao didn't come out deliberately to cultivate. Instead, he cultivated for the purpose of relaxing.
Moreover, Qin Xiao focused on small things. He didn't look for those bustling cities. Instead, he walked around the countryside and sightsaw.
Heaven and Earth were all guides for cultivation.
Sometimes, it might be better to look at these small things and be inspired by them.
Only when one was small could one be subtle. Only when one was subtle could one make up for some unseen shortcomings.
Sometimes, it was necessary to make up for those unseen shortcomings. Only then would there be a qualitative transformation.
…
Pan Nation, First Prince's Residence.
Ever since the First Prince lost to the Ninth Prince and failed to become the Crown Prince, the First Prince seemed to have disappeared. He never left the First Prince's Residence again. He didn't show his face and disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the past, it was very lively. Countless officials and generals went in and out of the First Prince's Residence every day. They loved to ask for the First Prince's opinion on matters big or small.
But now, the tea had cooled down. The First Prince's Residence was so cold that it had accumulated dust. The doors were also closed every day and wouldn't be opened.
It was a world of difference from the bustling scene before.
In a palace, the First Prince was drinking wine. He didn't care about his appearance and looked very dispirited.
The loss of the Crown Prince's Residence was a huge blow to him.
A grey-robed figure walked in with his brows furrowed. He was exuding a strong murderous aura.
The grey-robed elder walked quickly to the First Prince. The First Prince was still drinking his wine, as if he didn't see the grey-robed elder.
"First Prince, you can't be so dispirited. This isn't the glory you should have."
"This old man is willing to follow the First Prince to the death because I can see that the First Prince has great ambitions. I believe that the First Prince can accomplish great things, so this old man is willing to give the First Prince a hand and help the First Prince achieve great things."
"The First Prince is so dispirited. It's not like you. If you continue to be so dispirited, I'm afraid that the First Prince's fighting spirit will be completely wiped out. At that time, the First Prince will really return to being an ordinary person. "
"The First Prince should have achieved great things and been able to establish a great foundation."
"This old man is also unwilling to see the First Prince so dispirited and depressed." The grey-robed elder said in a deep voice.
The First Prince drank his wine and laughed self-deprecatingly. He said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, teacher."
"In the past, I had great ambitions and wanted to achieve great things."
"But, hmph, I lost. I completely lost. I worked so hard for so long, made so many preparations, put in so much effort, did so many things, and performed so well. More than half of the civil and military officials supported me. "
"But? In the end? What was the result? In the end, Father still made the Ninth Prince the Crown Prince. The position of Crown Prince is not mine. It's not mine. "
"Hahaha, what meaning is there in my life? What's the point of fighting? Why don't I just drink wine and look at beauties? Isn't that also very carefree? "
"Teacher, you came at the right time. Why don't you drink with me?"
Looking at the wine that the First Prince handed over, the grey-robed elder slapped the wine over.
The First Prince wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since teacher doesn't like it, I won't force you. Teacher, go and do your own things. Don't bother about me."
The grey-robed elder said, "Since this old man has promised to help the First Prince build great things, I naturally won't give up so easily."
"It is this old man's responsibility that the First Prince is so depressed. This old man came here today to bring the First Prince out of the quagmire and restore his glory. I want to bring back the confident First Prince of the past."
"The position of Crown Prince is temporarily lost. Why talk about defeat? As long as the Ninth Prince doesn't ascend the throne, the First Prince will still have a chance. "
"The key is whether the First Prince is willing to fight for this opportunity."
"If the First Prince isn't even willing to fight for this opportunity, then there's no hope at all. However, if the First Prince is willing to fight for it, this old man feels that there's still a great chance. At the very least, you can fight for it. It's not impossible for you to succeed. "
The First Prince was stunned and looked at the grey-robed elder.
However, he still shook his head and said, "Teacher, you don't have to comfort me. Since Father has already made the Ninth Prince the Crown Prince, the Emperor's will can't be changed."
"Therefore, it's impossible for me to still have a chance. I originally thought that Father would definitely make me the Crown Prince. I've performed so well all these years. Most of the civil servants and armed forces supported me. Even two of the three kings supported me. "
"But what happened in the end? You saw it for yourself. Father still made the Ninth Prince the Crown Prince. Teacher, do you really think that there's still hope? "
"I've been playing with power all my life, but I still lost to the Ninth Prince and Father in the end. No matter how I play, I can't win against Father. "
"I'm tired after playing with power all my life. I don't want to play anymore."
The grey-robed elder's eyes flashed coldly as he said, "What if the First Prince breaks through to the second step of the Ancient Saint Stage? Do you think it's possible to change the Emperor's will? "
Huh?
What?
Break through to the second step of the Ancient Saint Stage?
The First Prince's eyes lit up instantly. They shone like a sharp sword that had just been unsheathed, shining with a peerless sharpness.
What if I break through to the second step of the Ancient Saint Stage? Would I be able to fight for it?
The grey-robed elder took advantage of the situation and continued, "Therefore, it's not that there's no chance at all. It just depends on how strong your will is."
The First Prince stood up and finally regained some of his vigor. He looked at the grey-robed elder seriously and said, "Teacher, what do you think I should do now?"
