Chapter 1206 - 313: Passing the Buck, Tend to the Good and Avoid the Evil (5k)
Unfortunately, in this place, he guards the Dao, not just his own, and he absolutely cannot lose his current True Form.
The Old Emperor Qian and Yu Ziqing, the Dharma Methods they have tacitly provided do have problems, but they are indeed good methods, both can be cultivated and become very powerful.
But the more this is the case, the more ruthless the deception.
Now the Cliff Divine King is facing a choice: either abandon guarding the Dao, or cut flesh, removing the parts that have merged into his own Dao, and conveniently also the parts that have already become distorted.
His aura was dim, hair dancing wildly, he had no choice.
To abandon guarding the Dao means abandoning much more; years of persistence will completely go to waste.
Back then, the whole world was overturned, the Deities were overturned, a new world emerged, some Deities were completely annihilated, some lost their True Form, and many more were directly overturned and fell, becoming Devils.
The Dao he guarded was the Dao of the once Deities, the path to returning to being Deities.
If he gives up, the once Deities will never have another chance to turn back into Deities, they can only completely fall into becoming Devils cast into the Abyss.
He is the last Divine King, only he can hold on.
He can actually sense that now there are still Deities reviving, like the Moon God.
Sadly, the Moon God of the past was too weak, not qualified to be among All Gods back then.
Even having been affected by the overturning of Deities, later directly losing its True Form, now it turned out to be a good thing since it was not listed among All Gods, allowing direct revival.
But those among All Gods, while strong indeed, did not have such fortune.
The Cliff Divine King has always looked down on the Moon God, even during silence, the Bright Moon followed its habit, shedding Moonlight, sometimes Emperor's Liquid, All Gods would surely not act this way.
If the Cliff Divine King could choose, not even the Bright Moon would shine on the present world, he would wish for the present world to become eternal night.
Now faced with only one choice, the Cliff Divine King has no alternative but to cut off the part of the path newly merged into his own Dao, even having to sacrifice a part of his own Dao.
Moreover, he must abandon reclaiming the Dao that was taken by Shi using this method, in the future, he will have to find another way if he wants to reclaim it.
The distorted Dao being cut away, comparable to digging bones to treat injury, cutting flesh to remove pus, to do it thoroughly will inevitably take some good parts with it.
The Dao being excised was distorted beyond recognition, transformed into an extremely complex flow of divine charm and runes, falling from the cliff.
The next moment, the Refining God Dao appeared, swallowing all the excised parts in one gulp.
Merely glancing, the Cliff Divine King turned his head away.
The human race has always liked to make things especially complicated, that Refining God Dao is nothing like when Shi seized it back in the day.
Winding its way through nine curves and eighteen bends, countless tiny branches interwoven, forming a grand avenue.
The excised twisted Dao fell into it, much like a drop into the sea, seamlessly integrating in the blink of an eye, the only part not immediately assimilated, needing gradual digestion, is the good flesh excised during the removal of the pus.
After the appearance of the Refining God Dao, it gradually dissipated, and the Cliff Divine King could only watch helplessly, not daring to take another glance, fearful of being affected again.
At the same time, ever since changing to a new body and adapting for decades or over a century, Zhong Shouzheng, said to still be healing, suddenly opened his eyes.
He opened his mouth wide in astonishment, inexplicably feeling that cultivation seemed easier and inexplicably feeling that his upper limit had increased.
Even at merely the Ninth Tier, the upper limit had risen a bit.
And this process was still continuing, very weak, yet truly existent.
His sensing ability was innate, filled to the brim with the ability to tend to the good and avoid the evil, at this moment indicating a highly favorable advantage, urging him to quickly keep pace, this first bite of meat must go into his mouth.
For a sudden tremendous change like this, Zhong Shouzheng hesitated for a moment, yet he first sent a message to Yu Ziqing, asking him to come back for these matters need to be discussed face to face.
He shamelessly lingered on Jinlan Mountain, nestled in the west, much like the hungry ghosts here, lying flat, unwilling to go out.
He just felt this place was really too safe.
So-called healing, ahem, everyone could understand, but as long as it's not exposed openly, his injury might never heal.
Now feeling as if a great benefit fell from the sky for no reason, Zhong Shouzheng felt wary, benefits falling from the sky aren't necessarily a good thing.
After a moment's hesitation, Zhong Shouzheng didn't rush into cultivation, he thought he ought to wait.
Once having this thought, he felt he was right; if there weren't a trap, he couldn't possibly have this thought with his ability.
Upon receiving the message, Yu Ziqing immediately returned.
Entering the secret chamber, Zhong Shouzheng immediately told Yu Ziqing what he sensed.
Yu Ziqing's expression was somewhat surprised.
"You didn't cultivate the first moment?"
"After sensing it, I stopped cultivating, and up till now, I haven't cultivated again."
Yu Ziqing instantly understood; since Zhong Shouzheng didn't take the first bite, there must be a problem.
The sudden enhancement of the Refining God Dao, Yu Ziqing looked up as if seeing the Cliff Divine King in the void.
This kind of enhancement, Yu Ziqing could only think of the Cliff Divine King, or perhaps Shi.
It can only be related to those two, with little chance of Shi being involved.
Would the Cliff Divine King be so kind-hearted?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
It can only be that he was forced to do so.
Yu Ziqing pondered randomly, the only lead he could think of was those high-level Dharma Methods sent back then.
Hey, did such a pit have such a big impact? Couldn't be to the point of forcing the Cliff Divine King to cut flesh, could it?
After thinking it over, Yu Ziqing felt it was better to be cautious and see what exactly happened.
He knocked on the Earth Deity Origin.
"May I trouble you to lead the way, to have a look at the Refining God Dao."
The Earth Deity Origin was quite accommodating, leading the way, drawing out the Refining God Dao, just for an instant, it was already enough.
Yu Ziqing saw that on the Refining God Dao, some obviously incongruous places appeared, like a grand avenue suddenly strewn with scattered pieces of fresh meat, not yet fully integrated into the path, very glaring.
Waiting for them to be digested will still take some time.
Yu Ziqing regained his senses, glanced at Zhong Shouzheng, was the ability to tend to the good and avoid the evil filled to such an extent?
Luckily this guy didn't rush to take the first bite of meat; otherwise, it might not have digested well.
