Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing had no idea about the maneuver the Fallen God was playing. He was still pondering how to arrange the newly emerged Queue No.1 and No.2.

Following the previous experience of arranging Che Lun, Matchstick, and Flower God, fitting them into seasons or festivals was the most suitable.

That way, during the festivals, these guys could celebrate the New Year, but under normal circumstances, they wouldn't take the initiative.

Long term, it would be mutually beneficial, and on the basic level of cultural understanding, they actually have a nature of dependence.

As long as the roots of basic cultural heritage don't sever, the overall situation won't change.

Anyway, the overall picture will definitely not revert to the state before ancient times.

As for finding things related to festivals, making noise, or feasting, Yu Ziqing didn't even need to leave his house.

These guys from Jinlan Mountain and those hungry ghosts who love joining the fun are definitely the world's most skilled at these things.

Now, with Ruan Renwang around, and Yu Ziqing actively letting them make noise, they're truly letting loose.

Jinlan Mountain can unearth a festival any day of the year.

These guys even categorized the festivals to avoid celebrating every day, which sounds too outrageous.

Major festivals average one per month, minor festivals happen a few times a month, and most remaining ones are traditional customs.

Finally, if they must celebrate every day without a good reason, they'll find something to justify it.

For example, today a new Jinlan Mushroom sprouted.

Tomorrow, a Shocking Mushroom Technique for cultivating Jinlan Mushrooms taught by Yang was finally mastered by someone in the village, so they must celebrate.

Even Ruan Renwang himself was accounted for.

Most importantly, the festivals these guys celebrate this year and last year overlap at most by a third.

This provided Yu Ziqing with enough of an inspiration library, so he allowed them to make noise.

Another reason is that if you don't give people something to do, to vent their energy, conflicts will arise sooner or later.

Now it's great, if there's any conflict among them, they resolve it on the spot. As long as it doesn't result in death, it's no big deal. After the fight, they go back to what they were doing.

Perhaps after a fight, someone's strength improves, and they can celebrate a bit by patting each other's shoulders.

If Yu Ziqing wanted to find inspiration, Jinlan Mountain was indeed the right place.

Once done, he headed to Dadui, and based on the actual situation, fit in whatever seemed appropriate.

The preliminary exploration and procedures were set, the rest wasn't difficult.

After being busy for months, Yu Ziqing went to Dadui again to start arranging work tasks.

Meanwhile, at Dazhen, on the western side of the Hengduan Mountains.

After tracking the movements of Wei's Ancestor and a few encounters, it's now progressed to the next step.

A bunch of Deans personally got involved, none wanting to fall behind, all eager to get firsthand information.

For instance, they came up with a Protective Magic Treasure based on intelligence provided by Yu Ziqing, along with information from the Wei Clan, specifically targeting Wei's Ancestor.

The magic treasure has been personally tested by a powerful tool-user, showing high conduciveness to Wei's Ancestor's abilities.

If it weren't for a trace of the undying characteristic of Wei's Ancestor, he would have been beaten to death without even being able to escape last time.

Now, the Lihuo Institute and Langya Institute both provided technical support, with Lihuo Institute finding some possibly useful materials.

While Langya Institute found a dusty travelogue in the imperial library, after verification, left by a strong figure thousands to over ten thousand years ago.

The records in the classics were of great importance to these Deans.

That's why they personally came this time, to observe firsthand.

Yang mingled among the crowd, everyone was cautious, and no one ventured rashly into the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

Instead, after crossing the Hengduan Mountains, they continuously gathered all kinds of information, walking along the edge of the Forbidden Land, conducting research and making records along the way.

Yang wasn't a core teammate, and he stayed low-key, rarely expressing opinions on things he wasn't skilled in.

His knowledge was extremely broad in scope.

He could use this to apply a process of elimination, and naturally so could others.

He didn't want to expose too much of what he'd forgotten; re-learning would require a considerable amount of time, and he hadn't caught up with the progress yet, still far from reclaiming all he'd forgotten.

As they approached closer to the place where the Great Sun Dominating the Sky once stood, Yang became increasingly calm.

When they were thousands of li away from where the disaster happened, changes became visible.

Some Deans speculated that beneath the thick ice layer, a massive cavity appeared, possibly related to the Great Sun Dominating the Sky of old.

Then someone followed up, saying that they were nearing the location recorded as the site of disaster.

So, what's left to say? Which of these Deans could resist their curiosity?

To this day, there's been no detailed conclusion on that event; it's just that it's so far, with a major forbidden area, and without absolute necessity, it's hard to venture here, which is why few strong figures have repeatedly explored the area.

Now that they've arrived, they naturally took the opportunity to study it.

Since someone already connected all changes here to the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, and since Wei's Ancestor also has a direct relationship with it.

After crossing a range of continuous mountains, what lay ahead was a vast and smooth ice field.

"The mountains and icy peaks here have all endured immense impacts."

"Indeed, it looks like Fierce Sun Qi erupted in an extremely intense manner."
