Master of Strange Dao

We need something to keep the Yang-destroying Devil hanging on, to show him some real hope.

Back at Dazhen again, officially to borrow books from the Wei Clan's Book Collection Tower.

Thanks to Yu Ziqing's previous help in the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, and the sweet rain he provided, the Wei Clan is willing to share these things.

No matter where it's placed, it makes sense and is perfectly reasonable.

Actually, just after a few days of recovering, Wei Lan came over.

Wei Lan's expression showed some trepidation, clearly as this mediator, it's not easy for him.

Yu Ziqing didn't rush to call the Yang-destroying Devil. Instead, he looked at Wei Lan and said.

"This is actually your opportunity. I believe your Family Head, and the old Family Head have already told you many secret things.

The original core path, there's no way to walk it anymore.

But experiencing this power firsthand, even if you leave nothing behind, is still a great opportunity.

A stone from another mountain can polish jade, not only direct powers are considered opportunities.

On the contrary, powers that cannot be used directly can serve as a catalyst and inspiration, making them easier to control.

This way, it might lead to even greater prospects."

Yu Ziqing was genuinely worried about Wei Lan's mental state going wrong, Devilic thoughts aside, he feared his ideas might twist.

Wei Lan's expression shifted, appearing thoughtful, as he respectfully bowed.

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

"If you have the time, practice some basic Body Refinement methods. You don't need a high level in cultivation, just cultivate Qi-Blood and your physique."

"Junior doesn't know much about Body Refinement, please guide me a bit, senior." Wei Lan immediately followed the advice.

"Qi-Blood, it's most suitable."

Wei Lan noted this down, having suffered consecutive setbacks, and after connecting with the Yang Devil, he learned the most crucial path was a huge trap, which was quite despairing.

Because he's still young, unlike Wei Jing, who's reached the end of his journey and his lifespan is nearly up.

The advice from Yu Ziqing was a possibility of developing a new path on the existing foundation.

Connection started, Wei Lan's consciousness was instantly suppressed as he became the medium connecting to the Yang-destroying Devil.

The Yang-destroying Devil, currently idle to the point of madness, didn't even know how to get himself killed, and didn't care about the Yang-Keeping Devil, nor was he bothered to absorb Yang Qi to slowly recover.

Sensing the call, he immediately responded while trapped in a closed fireball.

"Are you willing to agree to help? This is beneficial for both of us."

Yu Ziqing's eyelid twitched slightly, killing you all, is beneficial for both you and me, your argument is damn reasonable.

"I'm someone who does things honestly, if there's no clue, no hope, I don't like to agree casually.

I have some things I need to confirm with you, so I can know if my hypothesis is correct."

"Feel free to ask." The Yang-destroying Devil replied eagerly.

"After your rank shattered, did some parts fall elsewhere, thus giving rise to this kind of zombie existence?"

"I don't know, but before my fall here, there were no zombies, only dead people."

"Dead people?"

"The most disgusting thing about your human race is that some dead people, back then, a deity was taken away by a dead person, completely annihilated, so utterly disgusting."

The Yang-destroying Devil's tone carried a trace of complexity, and Yu Ziqing felt he seemed to have a hint of envy.

Previously there were only living people and dead people, but later this in-between state of zombies appeared.

Say they're dead, they aren't quite, say they're living, they can't really be.

The Yang-destroying Devil was somewhat enlightened.

"Is your method related to zombies?

That's it, it must be because I was too obsessed with pursuing the power of death.

So after my rank shattered, the fragments that fell elsewhere led to the creation of zombies.

Even though they had died, they could still pursue truth.

Completely different from dead people."

Yu Ziqing squinted his eyes and decisively nodded.

"Exactly, because I had some clues and pursued the origin of zombies, which might be related to fragments of your shattered rank.

They started the zombie cultivation path after dying.

I need to confirm this here, once I've grasped a clue, I can agree to help you.

I previously encountered Wei's Ancestor, he wanted to kill me to silence me.

Fortunately, I had already hypothesized about zombies beforehand and invited a zombie to help me with my research.

Wei's Ancestor fought with that zombie senior, and I sensed a resonance.

I was just about to capture the most crucial part to verify if my research was correct.

But Wei's Ancestor was rescued by someone, and everything fell short.

The small step I took forward was forced to retreat."

"You really have clues?" The Yang-destroying Devil's thought shifted, grasping another key point: "You want to kill that person from the Wei Clan?"

"Do you understand research?"

"I don't."

Yu Ziqing's face changed instantly, turning dark, he said.

"If you don't understand, then shut the f*** up!

Research is about enlightenment, relying on that moment of inspiration to capture the shadow of truth.

Such opportunities are fleeting, I could kill Wei's Ancestor a million times, it might not lead to a momentary flash of insight.

What's it got to do with killing him?

Someone rescued Wei's Ancestor, disrupting that moment of my inspiration.

I want to know, was that person coming out of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land your person?

Was it someone you found to sabotage?

I think you lack sincerity, asking for help while pulling tricks behind the scenes.

Just a tiny bit more, I would've captured the key clue."
