Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1555 - 415: Deadlock, No Way to Alter

He could only use less intense methods to strategize.And this gave the successors ample time.

It also provided enough opportunities to make mistakes and enough chances to rise again after falling into a low point.

Even if the Tenth Tier path was severed, and cultivators seemed to have been weakened to the extreme, He still couldn't overturn it directly with the most intense methods.""

Yu Ziqing rubbed his head, thinking that the situation back then and the whole process must have been far more complicated than the Mountain Lord described; it was hard for the Mountain Lord to figure out such complex matters.

"So, His corrosion of people has always been ongoing.

Erasing many past records, altering records, is also related to Him.

Adding to that the slow accumulation of strength and waiting for the return of all gods, among other things.

Therefore, when the Spirit Transformation Array emerged, I noticed anomalies in the Heavenly Tribulation, an endless malice targeting us.

The Heavenly Tribulation itself started to act, which must be related to this being.

Indeed, the present world evolved from His True Body, as He carried one side of it.

With the passage of time, He quietly stole a portion of the world's authority, which was understandable.

But then I exposed it, and the emergence of the Spirit Transformation Array was an absolute boon to the world; there shouldn't be a Heavenly Tribulation.

The true Heavenly Tribulation appeared, opposing the one created by His usurpation of authority.

Could it be that this incident accidentally struck at His core?"

The Mountain Lord pondered the meaning of this sentence, grinning and laughing, happily crunching on a wine jar as if eating a crispy snack.

"That guy was in such a hurry for the first time, couldn't help but expose himself, but alas, it was useless.""

"Do you think so too, brother?""

Yu Ziqing raised a glass of wine, seeing the Mountain Lord laughing so joyfully, and followed with a smile.

He felt it wasn't that simple. In fact, he wondered whether it was precisely because of the appearance of the Spirit Transformation Array that this being had the ability to affect the external Heavenly Tribulation.

"What I think is of no use; don't ask me. My opinion doesn't matter.

If you need to fight, come to me. There are things I know that can trigger sealing and can be unsealed by oneself; I can tell you.

If you can't trigger the sealing to unseal, then even if you ask me, I wouldn't know.

I won't take the initiative to unseal anything; these sealed memories are sealed under the guidance of others.

I cannot determine whether doing something very important my way will be good or bad.

If I rashly do it, it might be great, or it might be terrible.

Like actively unsealing some related memories.

So many people have fallen; I'm left alive, so I must be cautious to ensure development remains above the minimum level.

Just like how I cultivated the Cautionary Treasure Skill, the main target has always been myself.

Keep in mind, I'm only providing you with information. Any judgment must be made by yourself.

Even what I tell you, you can only use as a reference; you can't fully trust it.

Because I also can't be sure if what I know is completely problem-free.""

The Mountain Lord, rarely solemn, Yu Ziqing could understand the Mountain Lord's thinking but still felt he was being overly cautious.

"That being, besides slowly erasing records, altering records,

could it even erode it to the point of altering what you remember?""

"No, but I don't acquire information out of thin air; it also needs to come from the outside world.""

"Understood." Yu Ziqing nodded.

No matter how clear-headed a person is, or if their thoughts can't be altered, if everyone outside believes the villain should laugh like "haha," then the first and any later information he receives would also be like that.

Thus, he would also believe the villain behaves like this.

There's a rare few who can think independently, break such inherent notions, and discover a different path.

The Mountain Lord's clear understanding of this point sets him apart from many others.

"Do as you see fit; if you want to do something, go ahead, you're different from me.

If you make a mistake, I can catch you, as long as the overall direction and environment remain above the baseline.

Moreover, you've done very well all along, so go ahead and do it.

I shall continue cultivation and become stronger.""

The Mountain Lord stood up, opened his mouth, and chewed up all the wine Yu Ziqing brought, then turned and descended into the depths of the Mountain Abyss.

Yu Ziqing bowed toward the Mountain Lord's back, understanding why the Mountain Lord reminded him repeatedly.

The Mountain Lord meant that if he made any mistakes, there would be no one to catch him, no chance for recovery.

Yu Ziqing didn't know what happened before that would make the Mountain Lord so cautious, but it seemed like a rather unpleasant memory.

Yu Ziqing stood at the edge, watched for a while, then looked up at the sky again.

Now he could directly ascend from here, reaching the first layer of the Abyss.

Before leaving, Yu Ziqing pondered for a moment, feeling like the Mountain Lord hadn't said something.

Oh, so it was waiting here, no wonder the Mountain Lord said he didn't know about the unsealed matters.

Yu Ziqing opened the Bridge of Fairyland, returned to Dadui, and, after getting off the bridge, sat by the river in contemplation.

The peculiar feeling of sensing something in the void but having no specifics returned.

But this time, he could tell it wasn't an erosion.

...

In the Endless Void, the area where an Ancient God once fell, Old Emperor Qian quietly floated here.

His aura grew increasingly deep and ancient, remarkably profound, clearly having surpassed the Ninth Tier Peak, yet had not truly stepped into the Tenth Tier.
