Chapter 3154: Chapter 1612: The Heavenly Realm Core Opens the Gate of Life, The God of Subtle Aura Seeks Without Trace
 

What Ran Ming?

There has always only been the worst outcome: the Cursed Yin!

“Heart Sword Technique…”

Xu Xiaoshou didn’t think twice, using every trick up his sleeve.

The Three Streams of Red Plum Blossoms were ingrained in his heart; he swapped to the formlessness with the Swordless Sword Technique, leading the attack with the Heart Sword Technique.

At first contact, “Wisdom is Emptiness” intended to teach this Cursed Yin Evil God, who exposed a little too much, that what comes around doesn’t necessarily go around!

“Heh…”

Yet the Cursed Yin seated on the Divine Throne merely chuckled. It was clear that from start to finish, it had no intention to “make a move” or even attempt “Possession”.

Xu Xiaoshou’s sword hadn’t even struck out when the Cursed Yin turned into a wisp of smoke, willingly dissipating from the power of the Fate Divine Seal.

“Run, fled?”

This was utterly unexpected!

Even if it were the most cowardly, they had already made contact.

Being both of a consciousness form, shouldn’t it at least exert a bit of the arrogance inherited from its Ancestral God, trying out its blade, to see if it could Possess me, annihilate me?

To mock with just one sentence and then sneak off, what kind of evil god are you?

The Will Dao Disc, on the brink of super-taoization, had barely emerged underfoot when, facing the empty air, ultimately it could only dissipate.

The unexecuted “Wisdom is Emptiness” could no longer backfire on Xu Xiaoshou, and as his thoughts shifted, his power gradually weakened.

Hesitating, Xu Xiaoshou decided not to further explore the Fate Divine Seal and withdrew, planning to first consult with “the smart one.”

“Did you encounter the Cursed Yin?” Dao Qiongcang read something from his grave expression.

“Yeah.”

Xu Xiaoshou nodded, speaking solemnly, “After flattering me a few times, it was scared off by my formidable aura.”

“…” Dao Qiongcang chose selective deafness, “What did it say?”

“It praised me, saying ‘Xu Xiaoshou is full of courage’, truly unprecedented and unrivalled, daring to face the Cursed Yin with merely a strand of thought, purely the most courageous throughout the five regions, with strategies towering…”

“So it really ran off, where would it go?” Dao Qiongcang casually interrupted and looked elsewhere, furrowing his brows, “You can continue to explore the Fate Divine Seal.”

Continue?

You’re not baiting me, are you?

Xu Xiaoshou wore a doubtful expression, hesitating, feeling maybe the Cursed Yin hadn’t completely left. Should he return the Fate Divine Seal to Elder Dao the Flamboyant?

“I told you, I’ll guard you.” Dao Qiongcang chuckled, “Again, if it was absolutely sure it could eliminate you and me, there would be no need for such scheming, it is the Ancestral God after all!”

Is that really so?

In the eyes of an Ancestral God, regardless of how much we jump around, we are all just ants!

Though he thought this, Xu Xiaoshou felt Dao Qiongcang’s words sounded better than they sung. Clinging to the Imperial Jade Seal, he remained unmoved, unwilling to continue.

Dao Qiongcang helplessly said, “The Fate Divine Seal was originally fine, but now it must be explored thoroughly. If my guess is not wrong, it, casting a glance here, is to see if you dare to explore.”

“So?” Xu Xiaoshou remained unmoved.

“‘So’ is not important; what matters is to start with ‘its motive’—since it took the effort to glance over, yet did not intend to act, it implies that it can’t rest easy about this seal.”

“So?”

“This ‘so’ is very important, my Xu, what do you think it fears the most?”

“What?”

“What it fears the most is if you and I were to leave—with the Divine, Erzhu, the Thirty Six Divine Punishment Pillars, and the remnant souls of numerous demi-saints and Holy Emperors from the Divine Relics. This is its most worrisome point; all its previous actions are showing that it has great ambition, even willingly deviating for it.”

“So?”

“…” Dao Qiongcang paused for a moment, ditching the small talk for a direct approach, “Maybe, within the Fate Divine Seal, you can find a ‘door’ to escape from the Divine Relics.”

A door?

Xu Xiaoshou recalled the “door” that Dao Qiongcang, pretending to be the Holy Ancestor, mentioned that the Cursed Yin opened for everyone, but no one dared to go through.

A ruse, or the truth?

Just from the brief glance that the Cursed Yin left to guard, you, Elder Dao the Flamboyant, could discern so much information, even deducing there’s a ‘door’?

“Don’t believe it?” Dao Qiongcang’s eyebrows twitched.

“I don’t believe it.”

“Let’s make a bet then…”

“I’m allergic to betting.” Xu Xiaoshou immediately snuffed out the topic, sending his spiritual senses once again into the Fate Divine Seal with doubts.

Passing the ruins with the remnant God-Slaying power left by Ran Ming, he reached the spot where the Cursed Yin appeared before.

Cautious, incredibly cautious!

Deepening, further deepening!

Until finally, at the bottom of what felt like a viscous pool of God-Slaying power, his spirit sense touched something hard.

It resembled a peach pit, dark brown, with a few fine branches coiling on top, its inside was chaos, split into three layers: top, middle, and bottom.

“Heavenly Realm Core.”

Xu Xiaoshou swore he had never come in contact with this thing before.

But upon the touch of his spirit sense, his mind was filled with information, showing him what this dark brown peach pit was:

“Heavenly Realm Core, the core of the Divine Relics plane, the Contractor can control the Divine Relics, becoming the Ruler of this Plane.”

Thump, thump!

Thump, thump!

His heart uncontrollably quickened its pace.

The owner of the Divine Relics?

The Ruler of all life within these ruins?

Equivalent to the Lord of the Apricot Realm, capable of taking or giving away anything here?

Xu Xiaoshou nearly wanted to roar in triumph.

Having obtained the Fate Divine Seal, he felt entitled to access to the Divine Relics for cultivating, as if he had received the secondary plane door of the Divine Relics.

Who would have thought, the real secondary plane door was hidden within the Fate Divine Seal, wrapped in an extra layer, almost neglected due to fear?

“A contract?”

Xu Xiaoshou curbed his impulsive urge.

If the Heavenly Realm Core was so powerful, why hadn’t the Cursed Yin controlled it?

His thoughts retreated like a tide, and he looked at Dao Qiongcang with a complex expression.

Dao Qiongcang wore a breezy smile, not mentioning the bet from earlier, only speaking profoundly:

“Learned anything?”

Damn it!

Xu Xiaoshou wanted nothing more than to dig out Elder Dao’s brain, to deeply analyze whatever vile things he ponders every day.
