Chapter 1391 Unreliable
A trace of wariness and bitterness flickered in his eyes.
A being who was not of his own clan could wield his Saintly power to ripple through the river of time?
There were only two possibilities.
The first was that this person also possessed his bloodline, albeit very faintly, so faint that he hadn't sensed it.
But this possibility was slim. He, who had already reached the Saint realm, could not possibly fail to sense his own descendant's bloodline.
This left only the second possibility: his Saintly power had been stolen.
This person was very likely from the Chen family.
The Chen family Saint naturally perceived this gaze, and with a grimace, he cried out inwardly, "Good! You little brat, before we've even met, you've already caused such huge trouble for your father!"
"Ahem, Venerable Qin, please calm your anger, please calm your anger. I did sense some disturbance earlier, but it disappeared quickly."
"I surmise there shouldn't be any major issues. My Chen family conducts ourselves honorably and would never do anything..."
Seeing that the Qin family Saint's expression remained highly vigilant, the Chen family Saint hurriedly explained, "Think about it, don't I have my own Saintly path?"
"It is the best choice for my Chen family to walk my path. Why would they specifically contend for yours?"
Upon hearing this, the Qin family Saint nodded in agreement.
The possibility of contention existed, but for the descendants of Saints like them, it was completely unnecessary. It would be like sacrificing a player, and it would unnecessarily offend someone.
More importantly, it was as difficult as forging a new Saintly path.
"May I have a word?"
Dao Saint, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
The two immediately stopped and turned their gazes towards Dao Saint.
This child, who was still quite young, had taken it upon himself to act.
In just one day, he had reached the Nascent Soul realm. Within a month, he had consecutively broken through to the Grandmaster realm and successfully ascended.
As for the Half-Saint realm, no one had ever seen him break through.
It was as if he had become a Saint overnight.
Dao Saint had never fought anyone, but the Saintly Dao he displayed once directly severed a hundred meters of another Saint's path.
When such a person spoke, the two naturally listened attentively.
"I felt the ripples in the river of time earlier, and both families were involved."
"The power of the ripple originated from the main body of the Qin family Saint."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Qin family Saint immediately began to calculate his own main body.
But he was stopped by Dao Saint's small hand.
Dao Saint slowly shook his head, "How many times have I told you, don't easily calculate yourself. At best, it will harm you; at worst, it will reveal your location prematurely."
"Aren't you afraid someone will break through the river of time and kill you?"
The Qin family Saint paused. The river of time, for Saints like them, was something they could only observe from afar, not touch.
How could someone directly break through the river of time?
Did such power truly exist?
Was the little brat just trying to fool him?
The Chen family Saint, being straightforward, directly asked, "Dao Saint knows so much, have you tried it yourself?"
Dao Saint remained silent, merely revealing his arm hidden in his sleeve. A faint, sinister black crack was spreading and corroding it.
"Holy cow, the river of time?" The Chen family Saint and the Qin family Saint's eyes widened.
If that black crack wasn't the river of time, what else could it be?
Dao Saint slowly pulled down his sleeve cuff, glanced around, and finding that no one was paying attention to his barrier, he said, "So, I told you, don't touch it."
"This injury of mine might not heal in less than ten days to half a month."
As soon as he said this, the Chen and Qin family Saints, who had some concern for Dao Saint, could only suppress their urge to curse.
Sometimes they truly didn't know if Dao Saint's words were unintentional or deliberately meant to annoy them.
Ten days to half a month?
That river of time possessed power that could injure a Saint's path.
Dao Saint was acting so nonchalantly?
"Alright, alright, let's get to the point."
"Although we cannot tear open the river of time, my duration in the river of time is longer than yours, after all, I have developed some resistance."
As Dao Saint spoke, he gestured with his arm. The two quickly waved their hands, indicating they understood.
To protect their Saintly paths, almost no one was willing to linger in the river of time.
After all, they didn't have Dao Saint's "Heavenly Dao Daddy" treatment.
"Therefore, I need your help now. Go and see what exactly is happening."
Dao Saint looked at the Chen family Saint and extended his hand, "Give me a portion of your blood. That person called you father, and I, as his uncle, need to see what trouble my nephew has gotten into. Don't you think so?"
The Chen family Saint did not get angry, nor did he immediately produce his blood. Instead, he pondered how to make this decision.
The blood of a Saint was very special!
If it fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it would attract a lot of trouble.
Dao Saint paid no mind to the Chen family Saint's indecisiveness. Instead, he extended his other hand towards the Qin family Saint, "To track that power from earlier, it will at least require a portion of your spiritual energy."
While the Qin family Saint was still struggling, a drop of blood slowly fell into Dao Saint's palm.
Although it was only a drop of blood, the faint golden sheen that appeared indicated its extraordinary nature.
Seeing this, the Qin family Saint had no choice but to split off a wisp of his spiritual energy.
After Dao Saint collected the items, he stood up and chuckled, "Alright, alright, I'm going to play now. You guys can listen slowly."
As he spoke, Dao Saint's body had already vanished, leaving only an afterimage before the two of them.
The corners of the Qin family Saint's mouth twitched. He asked in a low voice, "I'm starting to regret it now... How come he feels so unreliable?"
The Chen family Saint also had a bitter expression, "Unreliable or not, it's no use. He's already gone."
"Unless you intend to enter the river of time and chase after him."
The Qin family Saint pressed his forehead and sighed. He dared not chase. He knew the importance of his Saintly path versus a wisp of spiritual energy.
...
Within the Tianqin Domain, as Suzaku and the others were anxiously waiting before the calligraphy and painting, a silhouette appeared silently among them.
It was Dao Saint.
Dao Saint looked at the ancient painting that everyone was staring at and burst into loud laughter, "Why did this old man paint himself so handsomely!"
The people around seemed not to hear this voice, but the next moment, as Dao Saint entered the scroll, Suzaku and the others quickly looked around.
But they found nothing.
Chen Yang, who had already emerged from the river of time, took a deep breath. Just as he was about to inquire about the Chen family Saint, a child suddenly appeared before the Qin family Saint.
"Old Qin, a gift for you."
