Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

The threshold for the Word of Law?

This broken thing actually has a threshold?

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was extremely peculiar; even dogs wouldn’t bother learning it!

Only Mu Zili had a solemn expression, fully believing in the difficulty of this Dao seed. Although it had no Dharma Aspect, he always believed it would be incredibly powerful.

Or rather, powerful enough to instill fear.

Moreover, no one knew the old way’s talent better than him.

Over the years, Mu Zili’s talent had been quite renowned in the small world. Just catching up to Soul Not Return, the strength of the Tenth Hall’s Hall Master, in merely a thousand years demonstrated his formidable cultivation talent.

Yet he had never been arrogant about his own talent.

Just because he knew there was someone beside him with even stronger talent.

The old way!

Only he knew how high a threshold the Word of Law required, especially regarding talent.

But he never expected that besides talent, the Word of Law actually required other conditions!

The old way spoke mysteriously, ”One of the thresholds for the Word of Law is the extreme life-for-life.”

”Or, rather, one needs to learn the first Heavenly Constitution to truly get started.”

”Why is there such a peculiar threshold?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was exceedingly complex. Given this broken thing, could it still demand so much?

No wonder only her master had learned it in the whole small world.

Fool!

Mu Zili stealthily glanced at him and shook his head.

Why not think about it differently—maybe there weren’t many who could learn it in the small world, or perhaps none at all!

Then he earnestly asked the old way for guidance, ”So what exactly is it?”

”A life-and-death line!”

The old way’s expression was extremely cautious when speaking, fearing he might accidentally reveal it.

”Using my life to exchange for a chance at the opponent’s life-and-death line, giving them roughly a fifty percent chance of dying.”

What!

Su Xiaoxiao was instantly startled, what sort of bizarre thing was this?

Trading life for life?

No, aren’t there any restrictions?

For example, Realm?

Then how terrifying would it be?

Mu Zili thought the same, his expression deeply complex. He also realized Han Yu wasn’t yet the pinnacle of strength for transcending to slay enemies; his master was.

With this move, who couldn’t he kill?

But does such a heaven-defying Dao seed really exist?

”Of course not, the Divine Dao Realm is an abyss, you can keep delving deeper, continuously becoming stronger, and who knows what scenery awaits at the end!”

He paused for a moment before continuing, ”Similarly, you’ll never know if the opponent has the means to save themselves at that level.”

So, he may not be able to intimidate everyone with this move.

”However, Di Liuxin and the likes of Wu Tang probably wouldn’t dare to play with me, and neither would the Four Extremes Hall.”

At this point, the old way laughed, which is why he dared to thump his chest, claiming to back up his own disciple.

This was his confidence.

Mu Zili was slightly taken aback, trying to decipher more from the old way’s words.

He wanted to ask more, but as the old way subtly glanced over, Mu Zili swallowed his words.

So he changed the subject and said, ”But not everyone might recognize its value, so this move can only intimidate people on that level, right?”

”Yes!”

The old way displayed a look of helpless humor.

This is the most absurd part; the ones with stature wouldn’t easily engage in a life-and-death struggle because it’s not worth it.

Those without stature, however, in ignorance and fearlessness, would dare to fight for their lives, forcing him to value his own life, leading to utter embarrassment.

So that’s why there was such a ridiculous scene just now.

Di Liuxin didn’t want to provoke him, yet a few subordinates of his were like mad dogs, wanting to bite him.

Therefore, the old way was always a rather special existence in the Celestial Dao Sect, where the upper echelons were reluctant to deploy him.

Because this was an uncontrollable battle power. Without trading life for life, the old way seemed pitifully weak.

While trading life for life, he might not fully guarantee the exchange of the opponent.

Moreover, the old way might not be willing to throw away his life for the opponent.

But, without deploying the old way, the Four Extremes Hall similarly didn’t want to provoke him lightly.

Even knowing this move only had a fifty percent chance of killing, who among those who lived this long would dare to gamble their own life?

Thus, the old way’s status in the Celestial Dao Sect was quite peculiar.

He was given an idle post, neither really in the Celestial Dao Sect nor truly among the upper echelons.

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was also very delicate, thinking about how in the future at the Celestial Dao Sect, perhaps no one would dare to mess with him?

”You better not cause trouble!”

The old way knew Su Xiaoxiao too well. Just by looking at his expression, he knew what he was thinking and quickly scolded.

”The Four Extremes Hall is merely unwilling to easily go against me, but if you let them catch something against me, they could still make a move.”

If it’s just trivial matters, they might turn a blind eye.

If things go too far, the old way might not be able to cover for him.

For instance, Chen Xixi sneaking down, Su Xiaoxiao secretly assisting, and he being the initiator—such matters gave the Four Extremes Hall enough reason to act.

Just like Di Liuxin said earlier, he can’t act himself, but there are plenty of subordinate cultivators who could still deal with the old way.

As long as those few don’t show their faces, and only send cultivators to deal with it, his intimidating trick would be of no use at all.

The reason why the old way was confident earlier was that Di Liuxin was right in front of him, ready to act at any time.

Beyond the stone platform, Han Yu had been standing for quite a while, with seemingly no further movement there.

He seemed not to see what he wanted; ever since the appearance of that stellar river, there had been no more activity.

He had no way of knowing what the Celestial Dao Sect was actually up to.

”If it really won’t work, let’s leave!”

The Artifact Spirit was already urging.

It felt utterly uneasy here, lacking any self-protection ability if Han Yu was in any danger, especially when he actively put himself in harm’s way.

This overseas trip was fraught with peril; whether it was the sundial or various powerful beings, Han Yu could die if a bit more unlucky!

But there were some gains, at least knowing the true power of the Celestial Dao Sect and their real stance.

Their strength indeed seemed superior to the Yama Hall.

Just the complete suppression in this match was enough to explain everything.

”It seems that all the things from before with the Yama Hall, in front of them, were just scurrying around.”

Han Yu even suspected the successful manifestation of the Yama Hall’s millstone was intentional by the Celestial Dao Sect.

This feeling was immensely strong.

”From now on, we should steer clear of people from the Celestial Dao Sect!”

The Artifact Spirit was equally apprehensive of the Celestial Dao Sect now; their methods were even scarier than the Yama Hall, and so were their strongest.

It had experienced Di Liuxin’s style before and doubted not that the opponent could suppress the two with a flick of a finger.

Fortunately, Lian Buyu also did something good. He nearly killed Han Yu with that move, but at least it shielded Han Yu from their sights.

”They probably think you’re already dead, it’s just as well to stay out of contact.”

Yet Han Yu was full of melancholy; he still needed the Inquiry Stone from the Celestial Dao Sect. If he avoided contact, where else would he get the stone in the future?

What about Qi Fortune?

But if he really engaged with them again, he was genuinely afraid.

The likes of Chang Gen were clearly harboring ill intentions from the start, even planning to use him.

If he got involved again, his life might be in grave jeopardy.

The Artifact Spirit frowned, but then suddenly brightened up.

”Let’s put the Qi Fortune aside and first stabilize the Five Elements within you...”
