Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1618 - 435: Evil Lord, Troubled

Someday, even if Yu Ziqing truly falls, the Hungry Ghost Dao will surely remain.As he continued to ponder these thoughts, Yu Ziqing couldn't help but think of Yuan Lord, Wen Jun, and those people.

The likes of Evil Lord are probably considered the lowest among those with the title "Lord," yet have not been completely obliterated; were those few truly completely fallen?

"During that time, the biggest event was the appearance of the hungry ghosts," Zhuge Yunshi added to Yu Ziqing's words.

Saying this, Zhuge Yunshi shot a glance at Zhuge Baolin.

Zhuge Baolin remained silent, his gaze lowered.

"Let's talk about the Holy Mountain."

"At first, the Holy Mountain was merely a common Forbidden Land.

The First Generation gained enlightenment there and cultivated the Vast Qi.

He also discovered the anomaly there, leading to what followed."

"The Dao Opener of the Vast Qi?"

"No, the Vast Qi originally existed; the Dao Opener was named Evil Lord."

"Evil Lord?!" This time, Yu Ziqing was truly shocked.

How did this come to involve Evil Lord again, although he had predicted some connection with Evil Lord on this side.

But he hadn't expected the connection to be so profound.

The first portrait, hearing Yu Ziqing so shocked, couldn't help but explain.

"In fact, although Evil Lord is the founder of the Evil Dao, the original Evil Dao was indeed not like it is now.

It was due to Evil Lord being schemed against, that the entire Evil Dao was polluted and eroded, turning it into what it is today.

Evil Lord was talented and brilliant, even in this situation, he did not concede.

When his consciousness was distorted, as was the Evil Dao, he used those forces to create another path.

It is the current Vast Dao, naturally opposing the Evil Dao.

If it weren't for the founder of the Evil Dao himself doing these things, who could create a Vast Dao that naturally restrains the Evil Dao?"

Yu Ziqing always felt it was some paradox, yet was speechless.

As a Dao Opener, he naturally understood this logic had no issues.

Only a Dao Opener can deeply understand the root of their Dao, if one wishes to create a new Dao that restrains it, indeed there is no one more suitable than Evil Lord himself.

"Then how is it related to the Holy Mountain? And how does it relate to Yuan Lord?"

"It doesn't just relate to Yuan Lord, but also to Wen Jun, and even another sage whose name we don't know.

From what we've learned from the Holy Mountain, back in the day, in order to avoid a great calamity, Evil Lord fled into the void.

In the void, he created the Vast Dao based on the Evil Dao.

He used himself against himself, but what happened ultimately, we do not know.

We only know Evil Lord's body disintegrated, divine soul shattered, consciousness fragmented, and most of it obliterated.

The part of consciousness that created the Vast Dao was already completely obliterated, but the appearance of Vast Dao guarantees it will not disappear.

Afterward, Yuan Lord, using some unknown Great Divine Power, condensed the seed of the Vast Dao, transforming it into the Holy Mountain.

The fall of the Holy Mountain is equivalent to the Vast Dao entering the mortal world.

It opened the possibility for everyone in the world to cultivate the Vast Dao.

But this is merely opening the possibility; without a Dharma Method, no one has yet succeeded.

Unless someone possesses one-third of Evil Lord's talent, only then can they tread this path on their own, braving thorns to truly open a walkable path for others.

At that time, the First Generation received a handwritten letter from Wen Jun named Mengxue.

Using it as a medium, he read it continuously, enlightening himself, realizing the True Intent.

Only then, accidentally, when there were no Dharma Methods and no one had succeeded, he nurtured the first trace of Vast Qi in his chest.

From then on, this became the first step for all scholars of Jixia Academy to enter the school.

Everyone must rely on themselves to nurture the first trace of Vast Qi in their chest.

Those whose hearts are impure or unsettled, or whose evil thoughts germinate, even if they have read countless books and gained vast knowledge, will certainly fail to nurture this first trace of Vast Qi.

And anyone who can nurture this first trace of Vast Qi will surely stand on the opposing side of the Evil Dao.

To cultivate using Dharma Methods to acquire Vast Qi, rather than growing the first trace of Vast Qi they nurtured themselves, naturally puts one at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Jixia Academy traditionally only recruits mortals as new scholars."

"No wonder, it makes sense why you must nurture your own Holy Mountain." Yu Ziqing now understood.

He bowed and expressed his admiration.

He now truly looked up to the Immovable Immortal Dynasty.

Unlike the Four Divine Dynasties, there was no "承" (entrusted) character, and it wasn't that Treasure Techniques were secondary; in other words, the Immovable Immortal Dynasty's fortune is insufficient.

But despite the lack of fortune, they still established an Immortal Dynasty, moreover, there is national fortune, similar Divine Dynasty power, and even a Magical Treasure within the system.

Even able to integrate the Vast Dao, extending a sustainable talent selection path.

The Holy Mountain, the totem in the hearts of all Vast Dao cultivators, surprisingly relies on generation after generation, nurtured bit by bit.

As for Dharma Method, it too is summarized by generations, perfected bit by bit, from none to existence.

Don't be fooled that the most difficult Dao opening has already been accomplished; the subsequent steps are simpler.

The Hungry Ghost Dao is already opened, yet why isn't there anyone outside able to embark on Hungry Ghost Dao cultivation.

The Hungry Ghost Dao that Yu Ziqing possesses is a Great Dao, just like the Qi Refining Dao, anyone can walk this path, not limited to humans, demons, ghosts...

The folks of the Immovable Immortal Dynasty, generation after generation, have reached this level, which is truly remarkable.

Moreover, they are able to turn the disadvantage of not having the "承" character into an advantage, quietly doing many things that the Four Divine Dynasties might find difficult to achieve.
