The banquet did not end until evening.
After the banquet concluded, Lin Yun called Feiying Jinjun and Huimie Jinjun aside to the reception hall.
“Lin Yun, what is this about?” Both Jinjuns looked curious.
Lin Yun had just told them he had something very important to discuss.
“Feiying Jinjun, Huimie Jinjun, you are both now Supremes of Wuji Heavenly Palace. I think it is time you knew this secret,” Lin Yun said gravely.
“Oh? What secret is it?” Seeing Lin Yun’s serious expression, the two Supremes grew even more curious.
“It concerns the Heavenly Dao.”
Lin Yun then told them everything he had learned from the previous palace master of Wuji Heavenly Palace.
When they heard it all, the two were utterly shocked.
“I never imagined that behind everything, the Heavenly Dao was the one pulling the strings!” Feiying Jinjun’s eyes flickered, the shock in his heart taking a long time to subside.
No one could remain calm after learning this.
Huimie Jinjun also sighed with emotion. “It does align somewhat with my earlier guesses, but I never expected that the master behind the Dao Alliance and the six great forces would actually… actually be the Heavenly Dao…”
His original suspicion had been that a powerful figure was secretly manipulating the entire human race.
In reality, it was the Heavenly Dao.
Dealing with the Heavenly Dao would undoubtedly be far more difficult.
“Our enemy is extremely powerful, not just the Dao Alliance and the six great forces on the surface,” Lin Yun sighed.
“In that case, we must resist all the more. We Supremes will never become pawns of the Heavenly Dao, allowing it to control and manipulate us!” Cold intent surged in Huimie Jinjun’s eyes.
“Yes, but this path is bound to be very difficult,” Lin Yun said with feeling.
“Still, the Heavenly Dao cannot leave the Initial Land. That is good news. It cannot come after us directly. Moreover, it cannot alter the basic rules governing the Ancestral Land, nor can it deal with us directly by changing those rules,” Feiying Jinjun said.
“Indeed,” Lin Yun nodded.
Lin Yun continued, “By the way, you two, this matter must be kept absolutely secret. These secrets can only be known to the Supremes of our Wuji Heavenly Palace. If others learned them, it would bring no benefit, only fear, which would harm them and shake their Dao hearts.”
“We understand that,” the two Jinjuns nodded.
“Feiying Jinjun, Huimie Jinjun, in a while I will need to make a trip to the human race territories. For the time being, Wuji Heavenly Palace will be left in your hands,” Lin Yun said to them.
Hearing this, both were startled. “Palace Master, you intend to leave the Ancestral Heart Realm and enter the human territories? That is very dangerous!”
In the Ancestral Heart Realm, they had aid from the beastman and elf clans. Moreover, the main forces of the Dao Alliance and the six great powers were not here, so the Ancestral Heart Realm was relatively safe for them.
Zou Dongsheng had previously led the remnants of Wuji Heavenly Palace in hiding within the Ancestral Heart Realm, and over time he had built a certain intelligence network, with spies placed in various locations.
Even if the six great forces or the Dao Alliance wanted to move against them in the Ancestral Heart Realm, any large troop movement disguised as civilians would soon be detected by the spies hidden near the border between the human territories and the Ancestral Heart Realm. They would report it quickly, allowing Wuji Heavenly Palace to prepare in advance.
Furthermore, their current location was excellent for both attack and defence. If retreat became necessary, they could quickly withdraw into elf or beastman territory.
Staying here was comparatively safe.
But if Lin Yun entered the human territories alone, entering the Nine Domains of the human race, he would be isolated and without support. Neither the elf nor beastman clans could assist him within human lands.
If the Dao Alliance or the six great forces decided to target him, it would be very troublesome.
“I know entering the human territories will be dangerous and that I will be without aid, but I must make this trip. I need to search for something that can oppose the Heavenly Dao,” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun continued, “Besides, I have my own methods. You need not worry too much.”
Lin Yun was going to the human territories to follow that map and try to find the fifth Origin Heart.
No matter how dangerous, he had to go.
“Something to oppose the Heavenly Dao? Lin Yun, do you have clues about this?” The two Jinjuns were greatly shocked.
Lin Yun had only told them about the Heavenly Dao so far. He had not yet mentioned the Origin Tree or the Origin Hearts.
