Master of Strange Dao

Then he said, 'You don't even dare to imagine, what's the difference between you and those fools who only know how to hate.'

After that, I knew what my life's goal was.

To cultivate the Evil Dao, but only to destroy the Evil Dao, and destroy myself.

I followed him for ten years, he taught me for ten years.

He taught me many things, including what he was always doing.

Because his life was also ruined by Evil Dao cultivators, he also wanted to destroy the Evil Dao.

He was just like me, born after his mother died, a person doomed by fate.

I always followed him, then one day, he went out.

When he came back, his life force was on the brink of extinction, he asked me if I wanted his power.

Then, using a secret evil skill, he passed everything of his life to me.

His Dharma method, his strength, his knowledge, and insights.

I continued with the established plan, took over, and carried on.

Initially thought the best infiltration was in Dadui, but it was impossible, so had to resort to choosing West Qian."

The young Evil Dao disciple said this, Yu Ziqing put down the teapot, nodded somewhat dreamily.

"Oh, so that's how it is, Evil Dao actually has such an extreme power transfer method, directly creating a Ninth Tier, and the foundation is solid, without any sign of forceful growth, it's quite bizarre.

This method shouldn't have existed originally in Evil Dao, right?

It seems so perfect, there must be huge flaws.

I suppose, your wavering between left and right is because of this, right?"

The young man's expression suddenly changed, his gaze towards Yu Ziqing was full of complexity.

He now truly believed, Yu Ziqing was only interested in this.

After saying so much, Yu Ziqing was still only focused on the fact he was Ninth Tier at such a young age.

The young man laughed self-deprecatingly, his last bit of vigilance felt pointless, so he simply gave up.

"Long, long ago, a half-undying, child born with a trace of inauspiciousness came into this world.

He was named Yakou by a village woman.

Later he began cultivating the Evil Dao, his talent was exceptional.

After being revered as the Evil Dao Lord, the person with the highest Evil Dao talent.

His cultivation progressed rapidly, then one day, he discovered that Evil Dao itself had problems.

Unknowingly planted seeds of disaster began to slowly erupt, all Evil Dao cultivators would eventually be corrupted gradually, starting to turn evil.

Yakou attempted to resolve it, but he was powerless.

Ultimately, the only way found was to destroy the Evil Dao itself.

Then, based on his cultivation, leveraging the Evil Dao's inherent influence on the mind, he created a Dharma method to pass down his power, knowledge, and experience.

He believed that with these things continually inherited, the power would grow stronger, and knowledge and experience would increase.

Someday, those who receive inheritance will find a solution.

Countless years passed, no one found a way to destroy the Evil Dao, but found a way to prevent everyone from stepping onto the Evil Dao path.

This was already the best outcome.

However, the inheritance was so immense that when accepted, during the power transfer.

It would overwhelm the inheritor's original power and knowledge with overpowering force and advantage.

Like now, I can no longer determine who I truly am.

Whether I'm Yakou or a suddenly empowered young Evil Dao disciple.

My every thought cannot deviate from the goal of destroying the Evil Dao even by a fraction.

As long as I have thoughts, doing nothing will bring me a feeling of death being preferable to life, tearing me apart."

"No wonder, I was wondering why no traces of possession could be found, but I think this is a relatively new form of possession, definitely worth researching a little."

Yu Ziqing recorded with interest.

The Evil Dao indeed has many talents, look at this Dharma method, you say it's the side effect of the inheritance method, it's believable.

You say it's a possession method, it's also believable.

Just that back then, the Evil Dao named Yakou played at a high level.

His consciousness didn't possess others, possibly because he felt using his consciousness, which had walked into a dead end, couldn't spawn new ideas to fulfill his ideals.

He forcibly bound his ideals and power, inherit power then inherit the ideals.

Going forward, regardless of who receives the inheritance, they will certainly walk on the path he desires.

And continuously changing people will bring new ideas, new collisions, thoughts won't fossilize into rigidity or dead ends.

All one can say is, this Yakou truly had ideals.

"Now it's done, preventing everyone from stepping onto the Evil Dao is complete.

I don't want to live anymore, if there's anything else you want to know, just ask.

I just hope you can kill me, let me die as well.

Preferably vanish in every sense, die without a burial place.

Consider it letting me initiate the Evil Dao's requiem."

The Evil Dao young man spoke calmly, carrying a tinge of seeking liberation.

"That Evil Dao power transfer method, do you know about it?"

"Yes, it's included in the inheritance." The Evil Dao youngster nodded, casually recounted the method.

"Good, do you want to see the ending yourself?"

"No need, now is enough."

"Alright, then I'll ask one last question, how did your master die in the end?"

"Dead through the extinction of life force."

"Good, just wait for a bit, I'll send you to die now."

Yu Ziqing stepped out and disappeared, he arrived at the small temple in Jiachen City, took out the red cloth, covered Yang-destroying Devil's plaque, then carried out the plaque from the small temple.

"Come, take you to witness something."

Back to the dungeon, Yu Ziqing glanced at the shackled Evil Dao young man, came before him, extended a finger, without hesitation, opened a brain hole at the midpoint of his brows.

In the next moment, the young man's life force began rapidly dissipating, yet a smile hung at the corner of his lips, as if attaining liberation.

However, simultaneously, the large power within the young man seemed to explode several times over in an instant.

Vast Evil Qi surged out from the brain hole at the young man's brows, the power kept rising, only a few breaths, it had exceeded the power previously displayed by dozens of times over.

The massive power constructed a rune-made passage at the midpoint of the young man's brows, extending outward, connecting directly to Yu Ziqing's right index finger.

The terrifying power, as if finding its target, continually poured into Yu Ziqing.

When those energies flooded in, they headed straight for the Qi Sea, unfortunately, Yu Ziqing's Qi Sea was long transformed and refined by him into a warehouse for storing different energies.

And he never practiced Qi Refinement, having a Qi Sea was of no use.

When these powers poured in, like the energies stored before, they were treated as forces kept in the warehouse, unable to be utilized as regular cultivation energies.

Along with the power, also a large number of other things flooded into Yu Ziqing's mind.

Yu Ziqing held a teacup single-handedly, rubbed his head with one hand, looking calmly at the dying young man.

"You wouldn't think I'd really be foolish enough to fully trust the words of an Evil Dao, right?

You told me so much, wasn't it all to have me inherit this power and ideal?

With my status, wanting to do these things, the success rate is indeed much higher than yours.

You chose me for this reason, thus told me all this.

Those words themselves, along with the Dharma method, are part of completing the inheritance, right?"

The youngster looked at Yu Ziqing, unsure why Yu Ziqing dared proceed even knowing everything.

"You're wondering why I would do this, right?

Because I want to find answers, and there's no faster or more complete way than this.

The real thing I want to know, you'd surely die before saying a single word.

Stop acting, it's late, yet still acting.

Go well, with this one beside me, you'll surely have your wish and die thoroughly.

Also kindly telling you this.

I have several identities, ensuring that possession is impossible.

Among them, one identity couldn't possibly succeed in any possession method.

The previous one who tried to possess me died miserably.

Don't say yours isn't possession, if I say it is, then it is."
