Chapter 784 - 412: The Woodcutter (Part 3)
"It’s not that simple. After all, back when Jiuxiao went crazy, we old folks all saw it. The Carefree Lineage indeed walked too far down the evil path, surpassing our understanding, entering the Evil Path. Not only can’t ordinary Mystic Sect disciples handle it, but it’s a great harm to all living beings in the world.
So I can only circle a place, raise a few Heavenly Demons, and personally watch over and study them.
Alas, it’s a pity that after many years, there has been no significant progress. In the end, I’m just old, lacking courage, wavering back and forth, wanting both sides, but accomplishing nothing."
Tie Dan didn’t hide his skepticism,
"Really ’nothing’ accomplished? Not a single achievement?"
Xuan Du shook his head repeatedly,
"None, none at all, as you see, nothing else is even conceived yet.
After toiling for sixty years, it’s hard to finally have this child, and it was supposed to be born in ten years. Whether it can survive is still unknown.
Now that you’ve split it open, naturally, there’s nothing left."
Seeing the old man not speaking the truth, Tie Dan’s expression changed,
"I don’t believe it! You’re still not being honest! I think even this Carefree Demon Sect is just a front! You have other schemes!"
Xuan Du was momentarily speechless,
"No, why don’t you differentiate between right and wrong? You tell me what else am I scheming."
Tie Dan directly exposed and overturned the situation,
"Where is the Langxuan Secret Realm! What about the salamander you’ve raised!"
Xuan Du was stunned, unexpectedly "whoosh!" an axe split down!
"I guessed it correctly!"
Tie Dan was overjoyed, "clang!" he blocked it with an axe! Who would’ve thought the bronze axe in his hand would be shattered by the opponent’s iron axe strike, breaking a bloody gash on his forehead! Yet, he ignored the blood streaming down his face and shouted,
"I understand! You’re not just raising demons! You’re also raising monsters!
Indeed! There are bugs underground too! No wonder nobody comes to change the guard! Anyway, a Heavenly Demon will be born! Anything can be used to give birth!
Well! The Mystic Sect’s laws, the Demon Suppression’s precepts, you’ve broken them all by yourself!"
"Zha!"
"Boom!"
Xuan Du opened his mouth, raising his eyebrows, his hair and beard bristling! Suddenly, five holes of thunder light erupted, and a Divine Thunder blasted from his mouth onto Tie Dan’s chest! It struck him like a meteor flying out dozens of yards! Rumble, collapsed numerous Taoist temple buildings, crumbling all around!
"Cough, cough, heh, hehe, how swift, so, touched your reverse scale, want to kill and silence..."
Tie Dan crawled up from the ruins, looked at his chest blown apart by Thunder Skill, singed and charred, lifted his head.
He saw Xuan Du, Thunder Lord, with thunder light all over his body, like a plasma supernova, slowly rising in the sky, overlooking him amidst the unbearable glare of thunder and lightning,
"Boy, I don’t care who’s behind instructing you against me, today won’t end well!
Either you disintegrate as a soldier yourself, or don’t leave! To avoid speaking nonsense, creating troubles, ruining my grand plan!"
Tie Dan chuckled, twisting his neck,
"Hmph, Shenxiao Daoist Master, Nine Tribulations Thunder God, Five Thousand Years of Dao Power, such a big name, this Thunder Power is far inferior to Heavenly Thunder.
What, don’t dare to exert fully, afraid of ascending and harmonizing?
However, from this, it seems this place isn’t really ’magic ineffective’? Could it not actually be a Realm of Void?"
Amidst the dazzling thunder light, Xuan Du coolly said,
"Good eyes, not bad. I’m tasked with guarding, how could I act recklessly like Jiuxiao? Before understanding the Heavenly Demons’ paths, I wouldn’t randomly let them in to cause chaos in the world.
This place, Leisure Palace, is merely a branch of the Carefree Lineage, specifically simulating Taixu Immortal Technique. Through array barriers, simulating Illusion Realm, with my Dao Power, I suppress heaven and earth, forming a prison.
It’s no special magic gate once revealed. As long as you stay honest, reach a higher Daoist level than me, or slay me, you can escape freely.
If tribulation is broken. Magic, then yields strength."
"Hmph, I have things to do, no patience to idle here for decades."
Tie Dan wiped the blood from his forehead, raised the black sword in his hand.
"Then I can only slay you."
