Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1643 - 442: Obstruction, the Yang-destroying Devil Delivers a Treasure (5k)_2

"If it weren't for your Spirit Transformation Array, the present world would eventually become like the scene you showed me.""Because of that entity in the deep sea?" Yu Ziqing naturally thought of this.

"No, even without him, that day would come sooner or later.

His existence only accelerates the arrival of that day.

But now, whether that day will ultimately come, I don't know.

All I know is, even if you and I manage to live for a long time, we probably won't see that day."

"Do you know what this means?"

"I understand." Yu Ziqing sighed: "So, no matter what others say, that one from the deep sea chewing me alive can be considered an act of kindness, right?"

"That's the idea."

"The dying world, is it dangerous not to go there? Isn't there nothing left?"

"It's best not to go. The inherent danger is not that significant; you should be able to handle it.

The greatest danger is that if you go to that place, someone will definitely find ways to make you stay there forever.

The dying world is inherently deeply connected to the ancient gods.

And now there's a living ancient god who sees you as a mortal enemy.

What do you think he would do?"

"I don't know, but it certainly wouldn't be anything good."

"Exactly, the point is not knowing, hence the inability to prevent it."

"Big brother, do you know where that place is?"

The Mountain Lord didn't answer directly. He extended a hand, extracted a small piece of memory from his mind, and right in front of Yu Ziqing, obliterated it.

"Don't ask, asking means not knowing the exact location."

"..."

Yu Ziqing was speechless. Big brother, at least try to act a bit.

Destroying the coordinate information right in front of me, that's excessive.

Alright, now he really didn't need to ask anymore.

"Fine, my curiosity has been quashed by you.

I was purely curious, related to the Evil Lord, Jinlan Mountain, and Yuan Lord."

"Oh? How so?"

"Vast Dao was a path opened by the Evil Lord, and the one inside Jinlan Mountain showed me that scene..."

Yu Ziqing roughly explained.

The Mountain Lord looked shocked.

"The Evil Lord opened a second path?"

"Who else besides him could open a path that is inherently against the Evil Dao?"

"That fool?" The Mountain Lord was still in disbelief.

From the earliest impressions, the Mountain Lord thought of the Evil Lord as a fool, and after the Evil Lord reappeared, he became an absolute fool.

Just like having been brushed by Cautionary Treasure Skill for two eras worth of Jiu Nian.

Perhaps even less.

Upon thinking carefully, a sense of respect arose in the Mountain Lord's mind. The Evil Lord must have paid a tremendous cost back in the day to specifically open a Vast Dao that restrains the twisted Evil Dao.

And now, the Evil Lord has abandoned the Evil Dao, moving on to something new...

No matter whether it can succeed this time, this guy is definitely a top-notch genius.

In terms of opening paths, indeed no one can surpass him.

Next time he sees the Evil Lord, he'd better show some respect.

Yu Ziqing also felt that the Evil Lord is absolutely an underrated genius.

He hadn't told the Mountain Lord that the Body Refining Technique appearing in ancient times might somewhat relate to the Evil Lord.

Now, the dying world might also have some connection to the Evil Lord.

Yu Ziqing deceived the Evil Lord into going to the Yin Devil Nest; looking back now, the Evil Lord's chance of success is quite promising.

His track record is quite impressive.

"Big brother, who do you think could be deep within Jinlan Mountain's Jade Tomb?"

The Mountain Lord's eyes narrowed, his mouth slightly opened, and the words from Yu Ziqing's mouth didn't even get a chance to be heard before being swallowed entirely by the Mountain Lord.

"I don't know, truly don't know—it's probably not someone I know."

Yu Ziqing fell silent for a moment, not asking further.

Some matters might be guessed, but just innately understood. Asking them turns the intangible into tangible.

The Mountain Lord was so cautious, swallowing his questions, which reminded Yu Ziqing of Yang.

Yang never asked, even aligned narratives.

So, no matter the perspective now, the one slumbering inside Jinlan Mountain's Jade Tomb is the king of hungry ghosts.

The Jade Tomb just bears this responsibility.

The real king of hungry ghosts still exists—everyone's recognition doesn't affect the reality.

This is purely a burden.

As for who the Jade Tomb once was, aside from Yu Ziqing, it's likely no one will delve into it.

Rare to see the Mountain Lord be so cautious, Yu Ziqing swiftly changed the topic.

"Is big brother practicing a new cultivation method here?"

"Yes, once the entire Mountain Abyss is brought back under control, and refined to the microscopic level, I'll consider other things."

"In the greed beneath the Mountain Abyss, does big brother intend to handle it personally later?"

"What are your thoughts?"

"It's like this, the Yang-destroying Devil witnessed the death of Jiu Nian and touched upon mortality.

Now, he desires to kill other gods.

If big brother doesn't wish to keep it for himself, then I'll bring the Yang-destroying Devil to try."

"Leave it be; I want to use him to verify my cultivation. If able to kill him, then you can bring the Yang-destroying Devil."

"Alright."

Yu Ziqing replied, accompanied the Mountain Lord for a drink, then left the Abyss.

After Yu Ziqing left, the Mountain Lord dissipated; beneath the Mountain Abyss stood the Mountain Lord, walking on its surface, smiled.

With a wave of his hand, the giant tiger spanning the heavens devoured all traces of what Yu Ziqing discussed here, leaving nothing behind.
