Master of Strange Dao

"When Han Dong was young, hadn't you appeared yet?"

"No, at that time, the Qingping Sword was just the Qingping Sword, it didn't even have spirituality, but even then, he had already started working on the incarnation. The sword definitely couldn't be given to Han Dong."

"Continue, talk about the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, and then the Great Sun Dominating the Sky, take your time." Yu Ziqing took a deep breath, having somewhat made a judgment in his heart.

Old Emperor Qian had done a lot long before Qingping appeared.

He knew a lot, things that should have disappeared from records.

"I finalized the transaction content with the Yang Devil, he revealed part of the Dao, the rest was to be delivered after seeing results.

However, for many years, the content of the deal made little progress.

It wasn't until over a hundred years ago, after the Great Sun Dominating the Sky happened, that the Yang Devil confirmed the recovery speed had greatly increased, and began to fulfill the transaction content.

At that time, I received a new task, to borrow power from the Yang Devil and Wei's First Ancestor.

I used a Grotto Heaven to bear that power.

Back then, I didn't know what this was for.

Then a few years later, my new task was to go to the place bordering the northwest Wilderness and the western Dazhen and kill a dean from Langya Institute and his Dao Guardians."

"I know, there was once a dean of Langya Institute who fell in the Wilderness, Senior Chu Ye was very familiar with him, what would force him to kill a dean? This is no small matter, Langya Institute would not let this go lightly," Yu Ziqing added.

"Langya Institute, ha, there are many steadfast Dao cultivators in Langya Institute, but what they hold fast to is their own Dao, not everyone maintains the moral baseline, for the pursuit of Dao, they are the most extreme people." Gou Dan sneered sarcastically.

"Go on," Yu Ziqing said with a calm face.

"After I set off, I learned something else, the highly knowledgeable dean didn't have just one Dao Guardian, but also another top-notch body cultivation Dao Guardian.

In fact, the Dharma Method that the body cultivator practiced was given to her by my original self a long time ago.

Her body refinement talent was extremely high; if not for the limits of heaven and earth, she would definitely have been a strong candidate for the Tenth Tier.

But also because her talent was too high, from the moment she started cultivating that Great Sun Dao Scripture, her grave had already been chosen.

What was unexpected, was only that dean.

He was terrifying, becoming the first in history to scour through the whole Langya Bookstore.

His breadth of knowledge was astonishing, so he could view many problems from an overall perspective and connect many unrelated things together.

He discovered things he shouldn't have discovered.

But if it were only that, it would be one thing, the person was not willing to kill such a rare Dao cultivator of the era.

Twice in a row, the Silence Divine Spell was broken, or circumvented, by him.

Starting over, he very quickly tracked down the key points again.

Eventually, he sealed even the methods that allowed him to break, resolve, or bypass the Silence Divine Spell, making him forget.

Even so, he still appeared in places he shouldn't have, so there was no choice but to kill him.

To have him die with that body cultivation Dao Guardian.

Alas, I had already overestimated as much as possible, but ultimately underestimated how terrifying the dean and his Dao Guardians were.

My sword Dao skills were just enough to pierce the body cultivation Dao Guardian's skin.

If not for the limits of heaven and earth, I know she could have undoubtedly entered the Tenth Tier.

I was absolutely no match, almost reverted to my original form, then he appeared.

That's when I learned for the first time about his specific strength.

His Qi Refinement and Refining God had both already exceeded the Ninth Tier limit, still restricted by heaven and earth, unable to advance to the Tenth Tier.

He fought the body cultivation Guardian, brought out the Magical Treasure sealed with the Grotto Heaven, sealed with the power of the Yang Devil and Wei's First Ancestor.

He drove the Magical Treasure into the body cultivator's body.

Then, a series of violent changes occurred.

Eventually, the Great Sun Dominating the Sky appeared.

As for what happened after that, I was already on the verge of being reverted to my original form, so I'm not too clear.

All I know is, later that dean and his Dao Guardians hid for a few days, then fell together in the Wilderness.

Except the dean's body was never found, perhaps in the final moments, was sent away by his Dao Guardian at the cost of his life.

Because the final Silence Divine Spell took effect.

Originally, he planned for me to recover and continue the pursuit.

Unfortunately, at that time, a strange aura appeared in the Wilderness, scaring him.

He didn't dare to do anything personally, and didn't even allow me to enter the Wilderness.

I could only use some hidden pawns I had secretly laid down to conduct a covert investigation.

After all, a yet-Entering Dao, resource-less Dao cultivator, likely heavily wounded, was no different from a mortal.

Later, the climate changed drastically, and the Wilderness directly entered severe winter.

A large number of mortals died on the Wilderness, those who miraculously survived and left were secretly scrutinized.

The very few remaining should all be at the Jinlan Mountain now.

All have been verified one by one.

The dean who hadn't Enter Dao should be like countless mortals, buried in the Wilderness, with no bones left.

He was just a mortal, simply impossible to trace, plus the abnormalities in the Wilderness, ultimately could only come to nothing.

Because whether it was the appearance of the hungry ghost, the return of Dadui, or going into the Void, I had so many things to attend to, I simply couldn't find the time to care."

Gou Dan's mouth was dry, and he picked up the teapot to drink.

Yu Ziqing's face was expressionless, his eyes somewhat wandering.

So, since very early on, Old Emperor Qian had prepared for that body cultivation Dao Guardian to die, and even the place and method of falling had long been planned.

The reason to kill Yang, was only because Yang bypassed the Silence Divine Spell more than once or twice, and knew too much, so he had to die.

If you calculate the time, it was when I myself first starved to death, when the initial hungry ghost appeared, that trace of unfathomable spirituality was sensed by Old Emperor Qian, deterring him from further actions.

He didn't even dare to send strong individuals into the Wilderness afterwards.

Langya Institute lost a top-notch dean, yet didn't take any particularly big actions.

This was what gave Yang a chance to survive.

So, it wasn't luck at all.

He was the strand of luck that allowed Yang to survive.
