I Am Loaded with Passive Skills-Chapter 3427 - 1699: The 2nd Generation Sword Deity Seeks No.7, My Friend Fears Not Yuegong Qi
The appearance of Xi, just like Lord Shou’s inquiry on the sacred mountain this night, and Ah Si’s answer, provided the Spiritual Cultivators of the five regions, and even the saints of the five regions with the same answer:
The so-called Dao, even if cultivated, is meaningless!
"Then do we still need to announce the list of the Seven Sword Deity?" Feng Zhongzui pressed further.
"No!" The old family head’s response was very solemn, "We will announce it after all matters on the sacred mountain are concluded, after Xu Xiaoshou’s numerous tasks have ceased, and when everything has calmed down."
This is understandable.
Feng Zhongzui knew this is what should be done.
Announcing the list of the Seven Sword Deity now would attract too much attention, possibly placing the Feng family under scrutiny, and easily to demise.
After all, Feng Zhongzui had orchestrated a large-scale transgression, making the Feng family’s position extremely sensitive.
Thus, the question followed.
"The battle of the Seven Sword Deities is over, do we continue to ’transmit the Dao’?" Feng Zhongzui cautiously asked again.
This time, the old family head hesitated for a long time, but ultimately gave a completely unexpected answer.
"Yes, we transmit!"
He spoke with resolute conviction.
This single-word answer made Feng Zhongzui’s blood boil with excitement, his aura rising.
The old family head, does he have spirit?
Looking back through the family history, every family head has been regarded as spineless... but that’s not entirely accurate, they made some sacrificial choices to protect the family.
But this time, why did the old family head speak so decisively?
Feng Zhongzui considered himself wise, yet this time he couldn’t quite decipher the old family head’s meaning. Could it be that the old family head’s vision is farther-reaching than mine?
Yet before he could ask the question, the old family head offered a seemingly metaphorical explanation, akin to how Dao halls’ master might possess:
"The battle of the Sword Deities is over."
"And not yet over."
...
What does this mean?
Similar to Feng Zhongzui’s confusion.
At sunrise, the Spiritual Cultivators in front of the Five Domains Preaching Mirror, the saints from the five regions, couldn’t see the light, shrouded in confusion.
"Self-imprisonment, position, guidance, forgetfulness..."
One night, it felt both long and short.
Lord Shou and Ah Si didn’t actually ask many questions, spending most of the time resolving some unexpected "accidents."
Either Ah Si fell ill, nearing death.
Or the rules changed, attempting to obstruct the inquiry.
Even Lord Shou himself experienced problems...
Yet his issues appeared oddly, as if misfortune couldn’t cling to him, showing no faults.
On the contrary, he was either about to break through in spiritual cultivation, or gained insights during questioning, nearly sitting down for enlightenment then and there, all positive developments.
Had it been anyone else, they might have succumbed under such "benevolent guidance."
But these unexpected events, regardless of their nature, did not hinder the progress of the "Q&A," as if Lord Shou was born with an immunity to guidance with a sacred physique?
By this moment, from Dao Qiongcang’s "Thirteen Forbidden Sayings," Xu Xiaoshou had already deciphered the first four:
Self-imprisonment, position, guidance, forgetfulness.
These are matters that seem known on the continent, yet only understood in fragments.
Especially the latter two, before such questioning, not many under Demi-Saint status knew of their existence.
This time, Xu Xiaoshou, utilizing the power of the Will Dao Disc, and the Spatial Upanishad guiding the five regions, using the Dao Imparting Mirror to radiate key points to all directions...
At least he allowed a small portion of people to understand and remember the answers.
Under the guidance of the Will Dao Disc, one spreads to ten, ten to a hundred, time will reveal all answers to the Spiritual Cultivators.
But it seems he did not have much time left!
"Xu Xiaoshou, I cannot hold on anymore."
Dawn broke, yet this time, the faint light of dawn seemed not to stem from the cycle of night and day, but showed signs of human interference.
As the Spirit Rhinoceros Technique transmitted Dao Qiongcang’s voice, Xu Xiaoshou glanced upward.
Where others couldn’t see, he saw the sealed web woven by Dao Qiongcang’s Divine Secret technique, clearly torn open.
The flamboyant Elder Dao’s Divine Secret, after experiencing his weaving expertise, had improved.
Despite this, his seal was still glimpsed by others, noticed then swiftly torn open.
The person’s identity, obvious, could it be revealed.
"Which Holy Emperor?" Xu Xiaoshou grabbed Ah Si, using telepathic communication through Spirit Rhinoceros Technique.
Dao Qiongcang never imparted a tense sense, usually conveying an eternal relaxation, but this time there was a slight fluctuation in his voice.
"The Cold Palace Emperor."
Yue Bei Hua Rao Dao, though the order might be inaccurate, but it’s unanimously acknowledged that Yue is the foremost, this point cannot be disputed.
Not only was he discovered by a Holy Emperor but by the strongest one!
"Can you fight?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.
"Fight a fart!" Flamboyant Elder Dao now only wanted to run.
He had said it before, one can block temporarily, but not for eternity.
What’s meant to be discovered will inevitably be discovered.
As for after discovery, whether people will continue to remember, or due to the Holy Emperor’s intervention, forget again.
Dao Qiongcang no longer desired to interfere too much, this was Xu Xiaoshou’s tribulation.
"Boom!"
The sky emitted a painful ringing, a crack tore open in the Heavenly Realm.
The crack was shallow yet very elongated, traversing from the Western Desert, splitting through the Holy Divine Land in the Central Region, extending to the Eastern Region’s Holy Sword Land.
The woven great net remained unseen.
Yet the crack, everyone witnessed!
This anomaly arrived so abruptly that it startled everyone.
The saints of the Holy Mountain Sanctuary glanced up, people before the Five Domains Preaching Mirror also looked up, yet felt no surprise.
Since Lord Shou captured Ah Si for questioning, anomalies were frequent.
The sky tearing apart was fearful indeed, yet within reason; even the sky collapsing could be understood!
After the booming sound, the elongated crack hanging on the sky swallowed the dawn’s light.
It seemed as if the sunrise was returning to the black night. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
From afar, Xu Xiaoshou felt as if a gigantic hand from beyond the heavens, with its five fingers forcibly inserted into the five regions, like it was trying to tear open the seal, or attempting to patch it together.
