Master of Strange Dao

ps: If you're not in a hurry, it's better to watch it together tomorrow.

...

Elsewhere, Yu Ziqing wouldn't dare to speak so openly, but here with the Mountain Lord, the matters were already decided long ago. When it was time to act, he dared to speak.

Moreover, this matter was indeed significant enough to require the Mountain Lord to be informed in advance.

At least with the Mountain Lord backing him up here, he could help avoid potential unexpected situations outside.

In the darkness beneath the hole, the Mountain Lord slowly opened his eyes; he had been bored for a long time.

In life, comparison is the thief of joy. He used to do nothing in this place devoid of light and sound and didn't find it a problem.

Ever since being repeatedly troubled by Yu Ziqing, he got used to days that weren't dull. Once he was idle for a long time and even the Evil Lord left, he found himself feeling bored.

Fortunately, now there was something to be done again.

The falling voice of Yu Ziqing below was entirely gathered by him, and he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

He didn't really care if the Tenth Tier path would open; it made no difference to him.

Because long before the Tenth Tier path was cut off, he had already walked beyond the broken path.

The realm mattered little to him, and it served as no significant reference.

The jade scroll left by Yu Ziqing was crushed in the mountain lord's grasp, establishing the connection, and the Mountain Lord's voice echoed in Yu Ziqing's mind.

"It seems a bit sudden, but if you've made up your mind, just go ahead. In this world, no matter waits until one is fully prepared to appear at just the right time."

The Mountain Lord's tone was calm, without surprise, inquiry, or obstruction.

This instead left Yu Ziqing somewhat surprised.

This time, the feeling he got from the Mountain Lord was unlike the past's intense and fiery demeanor, and instead had a richness akin to a simmering, hearty soup.

Yes, it lacked that domineering aura and had a slight taste of chicken soup for the soul.

It felt a bit uncomfortable for Yu Ziqing to adjust to.

Yu Ziqing paused in silence for a moment and said,

"A lot has happened over the years, and there's been little leisure.

I've learned about the one in the void, and about the Yang Devil in the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land.

Found out about the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, or what they call the Fallen Abyss.

And I've come to understand the relationship between the deities and the devils.

Even discovered that one of my great enemies is a former emperor.

Too many things came up all at once, and I can only handle them one at a time.

When there's time, I'll chat with big brother more slowly."

"Divine Dynasty's emperor? Which Divine Dynasty?" The Mountain Lord was a bit surprised and asked immediately.

"It's Daqian, but he's already abdicated. He even plans to borrow power to sever his ties with the Divine Dynasty's national fortune."

"Oh, then it's fine. Do what you want; at least here, no one will disturb you." The Mountain Lord's slightly raised eyelids dropped back down.

Yu Ziqing felt much more at ease instantly.

With the Mountain Lord's assurance, at least in the abyss, any potential instigators of chaos would likely be constrained.

The one in the void certainly wouldn't come personally.

The initial information Yu Ziqing provided was according to the last timeframe the Dadui Seal could endure, right when the new cycle was compelled to start.

In reality, he had no intention of truly waiting for the day he was forced to return.

He just aimed to catch everyone off guard to make a peaceful return possible.

After returning, there would be time to reestablish stability.

Whether it's suitable now or not, that's how it is.

The Mountain Lord wasn't wrong, such matters don't wait for the day you're perfectly prepared.

Yu Ziqing emerged from the Mountain Abyss, crushed several jade scrolls, sent out messages, and headed straight for Dadui.

The new Emperor Qian had fully confirmed things, and Old Emperor Qian's actions were also completely laid bare.

Yu Ziqing then informed Emperor Zhen and the Crown Prince of Dali that Old Emperor Qian was preparing to cross the tribulation in the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land and asked them to prepare.

Because stopping him was impossible.

When a cultivator is crossing a tribulation, there are plenty of ways to delay or reduce the calamity, but if someone wants to actively cross it, there's no way to stop them.

Unless you kill them.

At this time, no strong person dare approach.

Oh, except those addicted to brushing against heavenly tribulation.

...

Underneath the hole, the Mountain Lord squinted his eyes, releasing a long yawn.

His eyes gazed deeper into the darkness until they slowly disappeared.

Before long, intense battle fluctuations emanated from the depths of the darkness.

The Mountain Lord's voice, almost absent yet slightly bewildered, arose.

"Do I need a reason to fight you?

I'm bored, is that reason enough?

If not, I'll give you another, because I'm too bored."

Long after, beneath the hole, the Mountain Lord's large eyes reappeared, and he yawned again.

He was too lazy to stand guard, waiting for Yu Ziqing to return with Dadui before guarding against the fools here causing trouble.

It was much simpler to beat them half to death in advance.

If he could kill these fools, the Mountain Lord would love to just kill them all.

If all potential troublemakers were dead, there'd be no need to figure out who might cause trouble or how they might do so.

Thinking it over, the only possible disruptor left seemed to be the one in the void, but that guy was certainly not leaving there.

Thinking long and hard again, the Mountain Lord suddenly remembered, oh, there's still the Seven Yin King outside.

Seven Yin King, haha...

Forget it, if he dares show up now, then he accepts it.
