Master of Strange Dao

Previously, Yu Ziqing had already known about the initial source of these Great Devils, and understood that the Cliff Divine King couldn't leave there because he was guarding the Dao.

But that was just knowing the name and saying; he wasn't very clear about the specifics.

Now, Zhong Shouzheng was facing an unprecedented massive danger, and his sensing visions were clearer and larger than ever, equivalent to seeing concrete images directly.

Back in the day, when Yu Ziqing wielded the White Sword given by Han Dong, Zhong Shouzheng's sensing visions only caught the sight of a White Sword falling from the sky, nothing else.

Yu Ziqing asked Zhong Shouzheng in detail about all the aspects of those visions.

If not for the fear of drawing them out and possibly being sensed by the Cliff Divine King, Yu Ziqing wouldn't have needed to ask for details bit by bit, building impressions in his mind.

Once the complete impression surfaced in his mind, Yu Ziqing slightly closed his eyes.

Now he finally understood why when previously having distant contact with the Cliff Divine King, he felt this guy was markedly different from other Great Devils.

Even the Yang Devil from the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, without the eerie Demonic Qi, lacked the overwhelming feel of deity power; Yang Devil seemed more like a Great Devil who had lost control over its power, rather than a deity.

Plus, this guy was particularly at odds with the Seven Yin King, so Yu Ziqing casually called him Yang Devil.

As for other Great Devils, they were standard Devils.

The Cliff Divine King didn't give that feeling.

Now Yu Ziqing completely understood, he was guarding the Dao of deities, not simply trapped there; according to Zhong Shouzheng's descriptions, it was more like he actively stretched across the two sides, grasping one side with one hand, forcibly establishing a connection.

Transforming himself into a bridge between deities and Devils.

Just like what Yu Ziqing did before, the conflict and overlap between the Refining God Dao and the Body Refining Technique, the place where they intertwined was Yu Ziqing himself, he was the initial bridge.

This gave Yu Ziqing the opportunity to cultivate both God and Body Dao, yet both reaching high realms.

As for the Cliff Divine King, his actions provided those deities who had fallen to Devils a chance to return to deity status.

Judging from Zhong Shouzheng's described visions, now a vast majority of his body had broken free from both sides, even his head could probe out, only his two hands hadn't been seen from beginning to end.

The vision, plus the information received back then, suggested that this guy would descend within a thousand years.

We can roughly speculate that the Cliff Divine King has guarded the Dao for countless years, not merely holding it; he's already close to freeing himself from there.

This situation indicates he has completely guarded it, it won't deteriorate again even if he leaves, not guarding it, the connection between deities and Devils won't break.

Deities who fell to become Great Devils still have a path to revert back and complete their transformation.

Even if he can't completely leave there, he can leave for a period without affecting the big picture.

This information is extremely important.

Being trapped there and willingly staying there are two different things.

Yu Ziqing thinks, after the Tenth Tier path is opened, before those who can break through the Tenth Tier touch the ceiling again, and the world's situation stabilizes once more, it's best not to push the Cliff Divine King too hard.

If pushing this guy too hard, he might choose to abandon guarding, opting for fall, intending to take him down.

Then the trouble will not only be his trouble.

Better to take it easy, keep him at the back...

It's just that Zhong Shouzheng is now considered a double agent, stabilizing the Cliff Divine King isn't too difficult, and Zhong Shouzheng should enjoy this job.

Whatever benefits he gains for free charge from the Cliff Divine King, are things that money can't buy.

Now if Yu Ziqing tells him not to do it, he probably won't be willing.

Let Zhong Shouzheng take a rest, Yu Ziqing didn't intend to hide Zhong Shouzheng's existence, quite a few people actually knew about him.

Meeting the Cliff Divine King, if trying to hide it, there will always be a day of exposure.

So from the start, Yu Ziqing planned to sell himself out, that way he wouldn't always need to act, nor worry about getting caught every day.

No matter Yu Ziqing and Zhong Shouzheng appearing openly anywhere, he's not afraid of people knowing, even less afraid of the Cliff Divine King knowing.

Once that guy knows, he might even be gratified that Zhong Shouzheng's spy work is going smoothly.

Zhong Shouzheng's daily tasks are still the same as before, maintaining the array formations of the Forbidden Area in Jinlan Mountain, and see if anyone wants to follow him in Refining God when things calm down.

Actually if he wanted to take on apprentices, it wouldn't be too hard, a big shot in the Primordial Spirit Realm, no matter who it is, it's quite easy to take apprentices.

Even if apprentices were treated as beasts of burden afterward, it's not a big issue.

Unfortunately, there's an old saying that a willing heart can't be bought even for a thousand gold coins; Zhong Shouzheng just wouldn't.

He just loves hanging around in Jinlan Mountain, a place where the average person is a big muscle buff, especially those obsessed with Body Refinement, his favorite.

Who knows what severe ailment there is for this.

Yu Ziqing couldn't help asking, he simply said practicing persuasion, if he couldn't persuade even the muscle buffs of Jinlan Mountain to follow him in Refining God, how could he persuade that one in the Void later?

Yu Ziqing didn't know what to say, pinched his nose and let it be, let it go.

If he could persuade Qingqing or someone like Er Han to follow him in Refining God, then Yu Ziqing would have nothing to say.

Even if he goes to persuade the village chief, as long as he doesn't get beaten to death by the village chief, Yu Ziqing certainly wouldn't utter a word.

Since returning from the Void, as if he had been enlightened several times, Zhong Shouzheng has transformed from a retiree holding a thermos cup, leisurely basking in the sun all day long, into someone full of vitality, brimming with energy, looking like an overworked beast of burden just starting his career.
