Chapter 405 My Family Gets to Choose First (Thanks to Alliance Leader Ash Wish)
The group of sea creature cultivators had just passed the hiding place of the dragon eagle when a violent explosion occurred beneath their feet, instantly blowing the first few to pieces.

Although he was being chased by Dao Foundation Establishments, Wei Yuan had no intention of turning back this time. If he wiped out this entire team of Dao Foundation Establishments, wouldn't that be sending a Dharma Avatar to pursue him?
At this crucial moment when the powerful Sea Clan expert Yu Jing is rushing to the scene, it would be better to leave such a high-quality resource as the Dharma Image to Zhao Fusheng.

The secret realm suddenly became damp, with tiny streams of water constantly emerging from the ground. The power of water rapidly increased and began to repel the other five elements. The air became extremely viscous, and Wei Yuan felt as if he were running through glue, his speed suddenly reduced by more than half.

Wei Yuan inwardly cried out in alarm; this powerful sea creature had already made its move from afar. At this speed, there was no way he could escape the secret realm before it arrived.

Just then, green grass suddenly sprouted from the ground, growing rapidly and blooming into countless small flowers. Wei Yuan felt that the restraints on his body had lessened considerably; it seemed that another powerful member of the Bao family had made his move.

Grass and puddles appeared alternately on the ground, and the two powerful beings were already engaged in fierce combat, vying for control of the secret realm and trying their best to expel each other's mental worlds. However, judging from the viscous residue remaining in the air, the powerful being from the Bao family was clearly at a disadvantage.

In this viscous environment, the speed of the sea creatures did not decrease but increased; a team of Dao Foundation Establishments could almost catch up with Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan knew that this couldn't go on; it would be best to wait until the other True Monarchs of the Bao family were alerted and made their move. So he turned and slipped into a small cave nearby, running along the winding cave while secretly placing several medicinal pillars behind him.

Wei Yuan planned to blow up the cave to block the pursuers once they arrived, and then lead his group of Dao Foundation Establishment sea race members slowly back towards the human realm. By the time the sea race experts realized what was happening, he would probably have already escaped back to the human realm.

But suddenly a horizontal cave appeared in front of them, and a tall figure covered in blood rushed out of the cave and collided head-on with Wei Yuan!

The collision was like Mount Heng colliding with Mount Tai; Wei Yuan instantly felt his internal organs shift and saw stars. The person opposite him was clearly not faring any better, staggering back several steps and nearly collapsing to the ground.

Wei Yuan shook his head vigorously, and his vision returned. He saw a naked body with a fried dough stick hanging from it.

Wei Yuan suddenly remembered that the number of sea creatures following Zhao Fusheng was not small!
Realizing what was happening, he immediately rushed towards the cave ahead. Zhao Fusheng had the same idea, and the two collided again, each bouncing against the cave wall, causing a section of rock to collapse.

The two collisions ended in a draw, and both of them abandoned their absolute confidence in their physical abilities. On the third occasion, instead of monopolizing the escape route, they tacitly ran side by side.

Wei Yuan sensed several terrifying auras approaching from behind and couldn't help but curse Zhao Fusheng inwardly. Zhao Fusheng, running while glancing at Wei Yuan, felt the face was utterly unfamiliar; he'd probably never seen him before. What was a Foundation Establishment cultivator doing entering the secret realm? Wasn't he just courting death?
...The foundation of the Dao? ??
"It's you!" Zhao Fusheng's eyes instantly blazed with fury.

"It wasn't me!" Wei Yuan exerted force with his feet, trying to throw Zhao Fusheng to the sea creatures behind him.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong offered a plan: all they had to do was run faster than Zhao Fusheng.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Fusheng also accelerated at the same time, and the two continued to drive side by side.

At this moment, the mental world of the powerful sea creature within the secret realm gained the upper hand and was slowly manifesting. Both of their Dao techniques were suppressed, and their speed could only rely on their physical strength. As a result, their physical strength was roughly equal, and their speed was also about the same.

The two ran at full speed, wary of each other, and did not make a move for the time being. However, Zhao Fusheng scrutinized Wei Yuan, gradually piecing together many events, and his eyes revealed murderous intent.

Wei Yuan sensed something was wrong, but fortunately, where there are many people, there are always new hidden talents. Someone offered a plan, which made Wei Yuan's eyes light up.

Wei Yuan suddenly turned his head and glanced at Zhao Fusheng's groin area, saying expressionlessly, "A little small."

Zhao Fusheng's blood boiled instantly, and he instinctively blocked his vital points. But in that superfluous movement, Wei Yuan had already darted several meters away. The two were evenly matched in physical strength and speed, so this several-meter gap was difficult to close.

Wei Yuan was very satisfied. The plan he had just devised seemed simple, but it actually took into account a great many factors, including the environment, the situation, Zhao Fusheng's past personality, male psychology, and so on. It was the culmination of the wisdom of the entire team.

The dangers of the secret realm far exceeded Wei Yuan's expectations, and he relied on the help of Zhuge Liang and Feng Yu to resolve several crises. The mortals throughout the vast land also sensed the impending doom and mobilized.

Some of them prayed to Wei Yuan, but Wei Yuan ignored them.

Some people prayed to the girl in a yin-yang manner, and received a response.

They were instantly assigned different tasks and given the necessary information to complete them. After each task was completed, they would report back, which would then be combined into a final plan and fed back to Wei Yuan. The line "a bit small" was given directly to them; Wei Yuan didn't need to think about it.

Wei Yuan galloped ahead of Zhao Fusheng, who couldn't catch up no matter what. After running for more than ten miles, Wei Yuan finally broke out of the cave and arrived at a terrace that jutted out over a cliff.

The platform was enormous, but it hung alone over a bottomless abyss, with the nearest point on the other side thousands of feet away. The abyss below was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, yet it gave Wei Yuan a chilling feeling.

Something was hidden down there, and it openly released its aura, preventing the little insects from disturbing it.

Wei Yuan pulled back from the brink, barely managing to stop at the edge of the platform. Zhao Fusheng, who had rushed out after him, grinned maliciously upon seeing Wei Yuan, but before he could utter any threats, his expression changed drastically as numerous sea creatures surged out of the cave, surrounding the two in this perilous place. Wei Yuan looked around, seemingly panicked, but in reality, he was also somewhat flustered. However, as he looked around, he was also updating the terrain, with all the terrain data appearing simultaneously in the Myriad Rivers and Mountains system.

Zhao Fusheng's expression initially fierce, but his face changed when the third sea woman emerged from the cave. Compared to ordinary sea warriors, sea women were extremely troublesome; each sea woman possessed unique and unpredictable supernatural abilities. The first two sea women had already overwhelmed Zhao Fusheng, and if another one joined…

Zhao Fusheng suddenly looked at Wei Yuan and thought that this kid was quite strong and should be able to handle a sea maiden. He figured he could also hold his own against two sea maidens and a group of sea creatures.

After the third sea maiden appeared, she didn't waste any words with the two humans. Instead, she let out a scream that was clearly visible to the naked eye, and slammed it hard towards Zhao Fusheng!

Just then, Wei Yuan seemed to shrink into a ball in fear, and his aura suddenly dropped. He was clearly just a Dao Foundation ant, and a mid-stage one at that.

Zhao Fusheng felt a sense of foreboding and was about to curse when he saw a sea warrior fire a water dragon cannon at Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan neither dodged nor avoided it, seemingly stunned.

All the remaining sea warriors and the two sea maidens then attacked Zhao Fusheng.

"Damn it!!" Countless curses surged in Zhao Fusheng's mind, eventually all of which were summed up into a single string of profanities. Only in this way could he vent his grief and indignation.

This is the temporary solution that mortals came up with when faced with a world-ending crisis: feigning weakness to the enemy.

The water dragon slammed solidly into Wei Yuan, sending him flying off the platform. The male warrior of the Haili tribe was much weaker than the sea maiden, and even weaker than the human Dharma Avatar. This water dragon only caused Wei Yuan some soreness, but it helped him escape his predicament.

With a spray cannon under each armpit, Wei Yuan suddenly accelerated as if he had been kicked by a giant, instantly leaping across the thousand-foot abyss and landing on the opposite rock wall.

Suddenly, a foul wind surged from the bottomless abyss, and a hundred-foot-long, sharp beak slammed shut, almost swallowing Wei Yuan whole. Had Wei Yuan been even a fraction slower, he would have surely perished in that gigantic maw.

Despair finally welled up in Zhao Fusheng's heart. He gave a bitter smile, knowing that with his flying speed, he would never be able to escape the giant beast's bite.

At that moment, a female diver suddenly emitted a light blue beam from her eyes, illuminating a monk whose figure had disappeared and who was slowly flying towards the opposite side.

The abyss below rippled instantly, and the giant maw snapped at the monk with lightning speed. A giant peacock appeared instantly where the monk was, spitting a mouthful of five-colored light onto the giant maw.

The giant mouth slowed down by an almost imperceptible moment before closing again and crushing the peacock image in one bite.

The monk flashed back to the platform, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his life force suddenly dropping. Ignoring his injuries, he immediately caught a sea maiden and several sea warriors. At this moment, the only way was to stick together with Zhao Fusheng, otherwise both of them would die here.

At that moment, several spray cannons suddenly appeared above their heads and fell at their feet.

The ancestral land of the Bao family.

Bao Manshan was playing chess with an old man, and the game was at a stalemate. At this moment, Bao Yun walked into the private room. Regardless of whether she was disturbing the game, she said directly, "Great-grandfathers, I want to know what conditions Qiongshan Immortal Island offered that would make you sell your most outstanding descendant? Has our Bao family become so desperate that we have to sell our sons and daughters?"

Bao Manshan remained expressionless. The old man, somewhat annoyed, said in a deep voice, "No manners whatsoever!"

Bao Yun was not afraid at all and said, "A family that sells its children cannot be said to have good family education."

The old man looked towards Bao Manshan, who remained expressionless. With a single word, Bao Manshan began to hunt down the old man's dragon.

The old man felt a surge of irritation and frowned, saying, "Do you think you're still the most talented person of the younger generation? You insulted the Immortal Lord, which damaged your luck; you also lost an arm, which lowered the grade of your physical body. Later, you gave away the two fruits that your Dao Foundation had just formed to others, weakening the two extremely useful divine abilities of your Dao Foundation."

All these incidents, taken together, mean that even considering only the last twenty years, let alone the next fifty, you're no longer number one; now you're even in danger of being in the top three. Do you think you can still be an exception given your current position and not contribute to the family?

Bao Yun calmly said, "There's no need for Great-Grandpa to remind me; I know my own limitations. What I want to know now is what price that young island lord offered to act so recklessly in my ancestral land."

Looking at Bao Yun's stubborn appearance, the old man suddenly sighed and said, "A dragon has nine sons. If you comprehend the Floating World Dragon Diagram and cultivate it, you will surely have nine sons. Each of them will have different talents, but all of them will have the potential to ascend to immortality. Of the nine sons born, I will have five and they will have four. My Bao family will choose first."

At this moment, taking advantage of the old man's distraction, Bao Manshan suddenly placed another piece, instantly wiping out the old man's entire dragon.
