Master of Strange Dao

"Before I capture King Jiu Nian, you'd better stay away; it'll only make him wary."

"Even if he is now possessed by a Devil, he was once among All Gods, Yang, take heed."

"Heh...," Yang sneered, telling Yu Ziqing about the encounter with the Black Ship Saint and the intelligence gathered.

After speaking, without waiting for Yu Ziqing to say anything more, he stood up, kicked Yu Ziqing, and turned to leave.

Yu Ziqing exited the Seventh Floor ring and opened his eyes, chuckling softly.

Of course, he didn't underestimate Yang; he was more confident in Yang than in himself.

Getting information about the Abyssal Rift this time was an unexpected delight.

Borrowing the Abyss as passage is indeed convenient, but if possible, he still hopes to use the Teleportation Gate his side is researching.

The Abyssal Rift is too unstable and dangerous.

It's just unknown when the deans on the Big Island will complete the Teleportation Gate.

After calming his mind, he recorded the intelligence Yang mentioned earlier.

It's more chaotic there than expected, and there's indeed only one Immovable Immortal Dynasty; they've never heard of the other Three Divine Dynasties.

Even the information about the Four Divine Dynasties hasn't circulated there.

Yu Ziqing has always been pondering where Dakun, Daxun, and Dakan are, and what really happened.

Mountain Lord has been busy lately, which Yu Ziqing initially intended to invite him for drinks, but Mountain Lord just ignored him.

Forget it, just proceed step by step.

It's been years since anyone was fished out from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, and Che Lun mentioned those guys are getting anxious.

Some have even lowered their requirements, saying as long as they're rescued, they'll do anything, even if they won't achieve their True Form, becoming gatekeepers is fine.

Because the frequency of winds and waves in the Mud Sea of the Muddied World is increasing.

Their Memory Armor is severely corroded; even if forgotten memories are revived, they're barely hanging on.

Yu Ziqing intends to first resolve the Heavenly Devil King and King Jiu Nian.

But King Jiu Nian fled to the Immovable Continent, and the Heavenly Devil King vanished without a trace, leaving no evidence behind.

After thinking deeply, Yu Ziqing returned to the Abyss, arriving at the edge of the Mud Sea of the Muddied World for routine fishing.

Moreover, he recently needed to borrow power.

The Divine Skills nurtured within the Dao Court have yet to manifest, and seemingly showing no progress, so Yu Ziqing decided to leverage force to conduct a simulation.

Watching the dense mist emerge from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, currently first in line is No.4, joyfully preparing to embrace rebirth.

But as he entered Yu Ziqing's body, this previously obedient creature suddenly seemed deranged, intending to start Possession.

Yu Ziqing remained expressionless, not surprised in the least, even feeling relieved.

Activating judgment, he slapped a powerful blow that knocked the creature unconscious on the spot.

Had the creature not been a Deity once, without specialized methods, it would be difficult to kill; this slap would've obliterated it.

Yu Ziqing ignored the unconscious No.4, standing still, quietly feeling.

The judgment activated, the acquired power not yet manifested as strength but was immediately borrowed for simulation purposes.

In the center of the Dao Court, within the Loess Plateau, something rhythmically pulsed as if a heart, finally activating and beating now.

The entire Loess Plateau subtly trembled.

At the southern side of the Loess Plateau, facing north, the Earth Toad suddenly croaked.

Sensing something within, Yu Ziqing quickly took out the stored Yellow Soil, continuing to add into the Dao Court.

As the Yellow Soil fell, the center of the Dao Court grew larger, thicker, and more stable, further solidifying the trembling Dao Court.

The Earth Toad, languid and motionless, seemed to be consuming extensively, unable to stir any further.

In the Black Land to the north, the Two-headed Snake continuously flicked its tongues, replenishing strength to the Earth Toad, while countless tentacles piled up in the east, supporting the Green Land where Little Bodhi swayed, channeling power to the Earth Toad.

Even the Red Ape and Golden Eagle within Yu Ziqing provided power to the Earth Toad.

Four entities supporting one, rather than relying on the cycle of the Five Elements, is an almost unprecedented scenario.

Yu Ziqing urgently mobilized his power to nurture the languid, motionless Earth Toad.

Of the Five Little Ones he's raised, the Earth Toad is the least worrisome and still the King Juan.

Were it not for the unity among the Five Little Ones maintaining the balance of the Five Elements, the Earth Toad would've left the other four miles behind, even the fiery Red Ape would be lagging.

Throughout a hundred years from beginning to end, the Earth Toad never rested, never paused progressing and cultivating, always steadfast.

With a surge of power influx, the cycle of the Five Elements was reconstructed, and the languid Earth Toad slowly retracted its limbs, again supporting its upper body, continuing to absorb power.

Then, the information arrived.

The Divine Skills successfully nurtured, but its requirements are extremely high, with significant side effects; at the moment of success, it almost overturned the Dao Court's central Loess Plateau and destabilized the Earth Toad.

Had the Dao Court not been condensed first, enough to suppress the foundation, the emergence of new Divine Skills would've incurred massive consumption, draining Yu Ziqing dry first.
