Chapter 1043 Discovery in the Depths of the Abyss

Although Dawnchaser, Goldenstride, and Goldblazer hadn't expected it, they didn't find it surprising either. They had been Peak Paragons for so long.

With only one step away from the Divine Beast Realm, it was only a matter of time.

"Thank you, my Lord. If not for you, we may have never been able to reach the Divine Beast Realm in our lifetime," Dawnchaser said sincerely.

Even after becoming Divine Beasts and surpassing Leon's present strength, Dawnchaser, Goldenstride, and Goldblazer remained subservient to him.

They weren't ungrateful, nor were they stupid.

Nevertheless, Leon didn't quite agree with Dawnchaser's words as he said, "Perhaps, but that is only if you stay within the western jungle your whole life."

"You were all Peak Paragons with just a single step away from reaching the Divine Beast Realm. Even if you hadn't met me, some of you might have ascended eventually—if any of you had gone out to look for opportunities."

"You could wait a whole lifetime without coming across a single opportunity. If you want to advance very far in life or seek changes in your life, you must actively search for opportunities and not just wait for them."

"After all, opportunities won't wait for anyone," Leon stated.

"I understand your point, my Lord. I really do," Dawnchaser agreed with a nod before adding, "However, you should also understand our situation, my Lord."

"We have the sea to our east, the cold mountains to our north, the desolate land to our west, and the demon land to our south. There isn't anywhere for us to go."

"That is only an excuse you tell yourself," Leon said coolly.

"Naturally, the path ahead is not always smooth-sailing and may even be filled with hardship. But if you want changes, whether it is for yourself or your whole clan, you have to press forward regardless to find that chance."

"You have to actively search for opportunities if you want changes. If you don't even try, nothing will happen." Leon stated.

He regretted many things in his past life because he was too passive. Only after he was given a second chance at life did he try to change that.

Nevertheless, Leon expected he would need to lecture beings several thousand years older than him on such a topic. Even so, age doesn't really matter when it comes to such matters.

More often than not, people don't realize what's important to them until they are lost.

"It was your fortune that you met me. However, I can't always be the source of your changes. Do you understand what I am saying? You can't obtain the best things in life if you always rely on others. You have to rely on yourself as well," Leon added.

He could give them opportunities. But sometimes, the opportunities he gives may not be enough.

If there was one thing Leon learned after spending his time with the Golden Suanni Clan in the past few days, it was that they were very lazy and comfortable with their present situation.

If he doesn't incite them, most of them may never leave the confines of the western jungle.

That might be fine for the ordinary clan members with ordinary potential.

However, Leon wants to bring the strongest of the clan with him when he leaves for the stars and wages war on the villainous Divine Kings of the Divine Realm.

After Leon spoke, Dawnchaser and the other Golden Suannis fell silent as they took in his words.

"Anyway, that's for all of you to ponder in your own time. Now that we have quite a few members who have awakened their bloodline abilities, it is time to clean up the abyss," Leon declared.

It was also time for him to uncover the remaining secrets within the abyss.

"Understood, my Lord," Dawnchaser complied with a nod and said, "I will gather everyone at the entrance and wait for you, my Lord."

"No need to wait for me. As soon as you reach the entrance, you can start sweeping the mutant plant hives in the abyss right away," Leon stated.

In the past few days, only Cindertail and Nightingale were doing all the work.

But now that there were more Golden Suannis with the ability to summon the True Samadhi Golden Flames, the clean-up process should be sped forward by quite a bit.

Sometime later, Leon entered the abyss with Rainshine on his shoulder and descended to the bottom, where the space debris was located.

However, he didn't stop there.

He found a gap in the tree roots and vines beneath it and made his way further down into the abyss.

Most of the tree roots and vines were corrupted by Wrathful Demon Energy, but Leon ignored them all. They would be left for the others to clean up.

As Leon continued venturing deeper down the abyss, he found out the sea of tree roots and vines below the space debris was thicker and more extensive than he anticipated.

It went below the range that was initially covered by his divine sense.

The cluster of tree roots and vines continued for several thousand feet. And as Leon descended deeper and deeper, he left the region of corrupted tree roots and vines and entered a region where the wood energy was dense beyond belief.

If his guesses weren't wrong, there was most likely a Celestial Wood Spark hidden in the core region of these tree roots and vines.

"Strange… how did these space debris make it all the way down here?" Leon wondered.

Along the way, Leon found smaller pieces of space debris, which in itself was rather strange considering they shouldn't have been able to make it past such a thick wall of tree roots and vines.

It was as if the smaller pieces of space debris had been purposely moved to the deeper parts of the abyss.

Although Leon found it strange, he only briefly studied them with his divine sense before moving on—until he found another space debris that caught his attention.

He immediately made his way through the tree roots and vines to reach it.

Thanks to his Wood Law, Leon didn't need to force his way through. He simply moved the tree roots and vines with his wood ability.

"This is… a Tier-6 Teleportation Array?" Leon was astonished by the discovery.
