Chapter 1313 Dao Spirit Succession (2) The other person was graceful, looking ordinary at first glance. However, the longer one looked at her, the more beautiful she would appear to be; she carried a soul-stirring beauty. “They are Shen Mo and Qian Hong,” said Elder Chan via telepathy, after noticing where Su Ping was looking. The two Dao Children were also gazing at Su Ping. Their eyes were filled with wariness as they looked at the human who defeated and replaced Chen Xi. It was a rare Dao Child from a middle-ranked clan. “Now that everyone is here, let’s start the succession ritual.” An elder stepped up and announced, “This is Su Ping, the new Dao Child of the Heaven Path Institute! Now, we ask the mountain to open its eyes and bless him!” A light then darted out of the depths of the Heaven Path Institute, splitting the sky above them. The split sky was like the opening of an eye. There was dazzling light coming from within the crack, while mind-blowing and enlightening music was playing all over the world. The holy light quickly descended and enshrouded Su Ping. He instantly felt that he was covered in abundant divine power, which contained ten Dao Glyphs that were directly transmitted into his consciousness. That was the gift for a Dao Child. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 Even though he had to parse and grasp the ten Dao Glyphs on his own, every Dao Child would have the talent to do that. “Bring the robe!” said the elder. A glitter shimmered in the void, and then an auspicious beast that looked like a mixture of a dragon and a tiger moving in an intimidating gait. The beast landed in front of the platform, lowered its head and opened its mouth, from which a robe and a crown flew out. Both items were the same as what the other Dao Children were wearing, except for the emblems at the collar and the sleeves. On the left sleeve was humankind’s emblem. On the right sleeve was Su Ping’s name. Su Ping accepted the robe with both hands. He heard the elder’s voice asking him to claim and wear the robe. Su Ping immediately complied. Soon, the robe transformed into light, w∪xiaworld dot site condensing on his body and changing to match his body figure until it fit like a glove. Even if he revealed his Primitive Chaos Clan body, the robe’s size would also change accordingly. It’s truly a great item! Once the robe was claimed, he realized its functions. There was a spirit embedded in the robe that had the appearance of a kid; it told Su Ping that it had just been tailor-made for him. “Please give me a hand.” Su Ping liked the robe’s spirit. It was the first time for him to have an item with a spirit that belonged to him. It felt just like getting a pet for the first time. The elder’s voice resounded again. “We ask the Dao Spirit to relocate!” Chen Xi stepped up and stood in front of Su Ping. A purple light flew out from one of his robe’s shoulders and entered Su Ping’s clothes. The latter instantly felt the change in his robe. Meanwhile, the spirit also cheered excitedly; Su Ping asked for the reason and learned that the robe spirit had absorbed the Dao Spirit and was significantly enhanced; all its abilities had been greatly improved. If it was a rare artifact before, it had just become an ultimate artifact. A purple Dao Glyph was added to one shoulder of the robe. Su Ping noticed the same Dao Glyph on the shoulders of Qian Hong and Shen Mo’s robes, while the one on Chen Xi’s robe had disappeared. The ritual was basically over after taking that last step; the identity badge and everything else could be handed over later. The elder explained to those attending why Dao Children were picked in the beginning and what their purpose was. Then, he announced the conclusion of the ritual. It wasn’t until then that Su Ping realized that the institute nurtured Dao Children in the hopes of raising new Ancestral Gods. No wonder Dao Children have so many privileges; they can even ask questions to God Emperors whenever they want. Not even the princes of the seven greatest clans have such a privilege. Su Ping was rather curious. He wondered if any of the Dao Children in the past had ever achieved the main goal of becoming an Ancestral God. Once the ritual was over, Chen Xi nodded at Su Ping and left without a word. “Congratulations. I hope you won’t slack off and survive the next Dao Child challenge,” said Qian Hong, who was pretty and enjoyable. Her voice was neutral; her mood was a mystery. “Let’s practice sometime; I want to see how you defeated that guy,” said Shen Mo, the Dao Child with black and white hair, showing great interest. He wasn’t just being courteous; it was an invitation for battle. “Sure.” Su Ping nodded slightly. The two Dao Children silently left the platform and disappeared in the crowd. “The ritual is over. Follow me to the palace; everybody is waiting for you there,” said Elder Chan to Su Ping. Noticing that more than half of the God Emperors in the crowd were gone, he knew where they had gone. He asked Elder Chan telepathically, “Senior, did any of the Dao Children advance to become an Ancestral God?” Although dazed for a moment, Elder Chan said while leading Su Ping onward, “There was one. He was the sixth Dao Child elected in this institute, and also the strongest one in his time. To this day he is considered the strongest Dao Child ever!” Su Ping was surprised. There truly is an Ancestral God? The Heaven Path Institute’s education was truly unbelievable. No wonder the clans would send their princes and princesses to study. Who would refuse the chance to become another Ancestral God? “The feats of Ancestral God Tian Wen have always been seen as legends in this institute. If you’re interested, you may go to the library to find detailed records. He was the Ancestral God who created a small universe with seven small worlds,” said Elder Chan. Su Ping felt rather surprised, not expecting that the Ancestral God mentioned by the young mentor earlier on used to be a Dao Child. “Ancestral God Tian Wen’s talent is unparalleled. He killed a God Emperor while still being a God King and was already unstoppable while in that realm. He made it to the top of the Chaos Talents Rank. The people his age were even terrified of being on the ranking, because anyone on the listing would be challenged by him,” said Elder Chan. Su Ping could totally imagine what an amazing genius the man was. “You might change the Chaos Talents Rank like Ancestral God Tian Wen did when you become a God King. Even so, better not go crazy and challenge all the nobles; after all, Ancestral God Tian Wen belongs to a high-ranked clan. That’s the reason why he dared to challenge others without worrying about retaliation,” Elder Chan reminded Su Ping. The latter nodded. He didn’t have the time for that either; he was only cultivating to get stronger. He didn’t have to challenge others just to be famous or to prove himself. Those nobles weren’t necessary if he was truly looking for sparring partners; there were much better fighters out there. Soon after, they arrived at the main palace. Powerful auras were gathered in that place, like the abyss and the ocean; they belonged to the God Emperors. God Kings were hardly noticeable there. Su Ping entered the main palace along with Elder Chan. He then saw the other elders from the institute and the God Emperors of other clans. Everyone laid eyes on him as soon as he entered. A normal God King would have felt nervous and uncomfortable under the gazes of that many God Emperors. However, Su Ping had spent time with existences like the Chaos Perception Dragon and was already used to similar encounters. Besides, such pressure wasn’t even as powerful as that of the Golden Crow elder. The Golden Crow elder must be an Ancestral God too. As for the ancestor that he mentioned… Su Ping’s eyes glittered. He had never been able to tell the exact level of the Golden Crows’ Chief Elder, but he could now, by comparing pressures. He was quite shocked; that mythical clan from the age of chaos was indeed terrifying.
