Master of Strange Dao

No wonder I clearly felt complete, yet during the tribulation-crossing, only two out of three—Thunder, Fire, and Wind—manifested.

Failing to notice it could lead to big trouble, but even noticing it could waste my time.

This kind of alien species is ultimately not to be trusted; in the end, their intent to destroy me is relentless."

Old Emperor Qian sighed softly. Just by calculating the time slightly, he smoothly connected all the events together.

His tribulation-crossing was abrupt, the Dongqing Country Emperor fell, and the Dao of Refining God changed—all this happened during that period.

Who would believe it wasn't the doing of Cliff Divine King?

Old Emperor Qian, while lacking Zhong Shouzheng's full capability to tend to the good and avoid the evil, and unlike Yu Ziqing who holds the Earth Deity Origin and can thus lead the way and view the visual scene directly,

but his strength was evident, and just relying on his own cultivation and intuition, he could roughly deduce what had happened.

The blame for his abortive tribulation-crossing and recent waste of over ten years naturally fell on Cliff Divine King.

Old Emperor Qian remained calm, without any anger, as he knew from the start that mutual exploitation was all it was, and mutual harming was also quite normal.

However, this time he was heavily entangled, and for Cliff Divine King to ensnare him in this way, causing changes to the Dao of Refining God, he must have used part of his own Dao and paid considerable costs.

Intentionally doing harm without benefit seems unlikely; most probably, prior Dharma Methods took effect, and Cliff Divine King, having been significantly harmed, struck back accordingly.

"Ultimately, the power is immense and ancient indeed."

Old Emperor Qian sighed once more and began pondering how to first compensate for his deficiencies.

But to say deficiency is not quite correct; he actually has no deficiencies, only the original upper limit has been slightly lowered.

As for retaliating against Cliff Divine King, it certainly had to be done, but it could be put off for now.

"You shouldn't go to the void lately."

"I understand." Qingping responded and said no more.

On the other side, New Five received a transmission from Yu Ziqing and personally went to meet him.

"Did that person summon you?"

"No."

Yu Ziqing was a bit surprised. Cliff Divine King was indeed quite particular, actually not coming to question about the Dharma Method.

"You know the recent widespread news about the Dongqing Country Emperor's fall, right?"

"I do know about it."

"Do you know how he fell?"

Yu Ziqing chuckled, asking and answering himself.

"The Dao of Refining God showed a slight change, and he hurried to get the first bite, trying to become a founding master, but then fell, not even able to succeed in possession and rebirth.

Moreover, in the past decade or so, some top Primordial Spirit Realm strong cultivators have been stuck in their cultivation due to changes in the Dao of Refining God, unable to advance aggressively.

Many Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators have even paused their routine cultivation.

According to estimates, it might take another twenty to thirty years, or possibly forty to fifty years, to return to normal.

I think this is extremely important information."

New Five instantly understood, extremely important information means it can't be concealed, and must be proactively reported to that person.

New Five did not ask what happened or why; he didn't want to know.

He only knew that since he got this information, he must report it proactively to that person.

After New Five left and returned to the location, he opened the box containing the sealed Jade Scroll and began to offer prayers.

The surrounding scene transformed, and an image showing only the back was suspended in front.

Without waiting for the other to speak, New Five completed his formalities and earnestly reported the information.

"...It's approximately like this; more specifically, as it involves Primordial Spirit Realm strong cultivators, my strength is limited, and I'm unable to investigate further clearly."

Originally, Cliff Divine King did want to inquire about the Dharma Method, not because he thought it was fake, he had personally verified and cultivated it, and besides, he couldn't tread the same path again, asking would be in vain.

Now hearing this information, Cliff Divine King felt a bit delighted.

He didn't expect such a result. Googlᴇ search novel[f]ire.net

In ordinary times it might not matter, but now every second counts, all vying for time.

If all Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators cannot cultivate, even if the Tenth Tier path opens, it's unlikely any Tenth Tier Refining God cultivator would appear.

And the cost was merely part of his personal Dao being extracted.

According to forecasts, the Tenth Tier path would open first, then he would have the opportunity to truly descend into the mortal world.

At that time, surely those who are human dragons or phoenixes will be already sprinting along the Tenth Tier path.

He understands well, among those humans, true top-tier strong ones, once given a chance, could be extremely formidable.

By the time he finally descends, he might encounter a Tenth Tier Peak human expert.

This interim period is especially crucial.

Now, he only needs to remove part of his personal Dao, cast it into the Dao of Refining God, and with this one move, obstruct it by several decades.

As long as he could hold back human Refining God cultivators from advancing to Tenth Tier, obstructing them for several hundred years, the cost, though substantial, is still acceptable for him.

He utterly disregards the human Qi Refinement cultivators, at most they are just that, posing little threat to him, let alone killing him, even damaging his Source seems difficult.

Only the Refining God cultivators make him particularly cautious, viewing them as the greatest threat.

Because this Dao originates from Shi, and in Shi's hand, he suffered the greatest loss since he became conscious.

"You have done well, continue to investigate, and if any Primordial Spirit Realm falls, report immediately."

Moments later, the surrounding illusory scenes dissipated, and New Five respectfully sealed up the Jade Scroll and put it away, and then he could no longer hold back and spat once.

This person is indeed stingy, even a compliment was just a few offhand words.

Fortunately, this person was too lazy to waste words with him, otherwise, he could barely suppress his thoughts.

New Five didn't know what changes this information would bring, but certainly, it was good news.

And in the void, Cliff Divine King pondered for a moment, released Zhan Dao, flicked his finger, and intercepted a small part, letting it fall.

The Dao of Refining God naturally emerged, catching that segment, incorporating it.

He took the opportunity to observe changes, calculating how to achieve his objective with the least cost.

A day later, the Earth Deity Origin in Yu Ziqing's mind quivered slightly, and an image appeared in his mind.

Yu Ziqing only took a glance and confirmed that there was suddenly an additional segment on the Dao of Refining God, slowly integrating into it.

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It's really generous..."
