Chapter 180: Chapter 45 Master Mingyue

"Hehe, good timing, what delightful treats have you brought me this time?"

"It’s the finest Monkey Wine, which I’ve just bought from the city, and a cage of Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasure Buns, purchased with a good amount of money, especially to honor you."

While speaking, he threw the wine and buns through the bars of the cell.

The Evil Man opened his mouth, and the wine and buns flew into his mouth as if they had sprouted wings, polishing them off in moments.

"Good, good, good, indeed these are fine goods."

"Master, I’ve mastered the Spell you taught me before, may I ask if you could teach me something else?"

"Aren’t you afraid I would tell your master?"

"Hehe, of course not. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but you are considered a heretic by my master’s eyes; who would believe you? When the time comes, I can just say I don’t know what you’re talking about, claiming that you’re sowing discord; my master certainly won’t believe you."

"Good, good, good, you lad certainly have a bit of my style from back in the day."

After the Evil Man finished speaking, the nearby Mad Taoists and Foolish Taoists immediately started making a racket.

"Vanity, vanity, shameless and without blush."

"Just an avatar showing off, what’s there to boast about? You there, boy, don’t learn from that rascal. Come, learn from me, I’ll teach you the real Immortal Law!"

"Let me out! Let me out!"

"All of you shut up, don’t disturb me, I’m trying to get some sleep!"

Tree Under the Cicada seemed accustomed to the reactions of these Mad Fool Taoists.

When the noise eventually died down, he continued, "Master, may you teach me something more profound this time? Is the Saint’s Dao you once mentioned true or false?"

"It’s absolutely true, but to learn this great dao, one must progress step by step. Have you understood the Unnamed Dao Scripture True Words?"

"Understood, understood."

"Well, that’s good. Then I will pass on to you the second volume of the Unnamed Dao Scripture, the Human Dao Chapter. You must comprehend the principle within. After you have understood it, come find me. Listen carefully now..."

Xiao Jie pricked up his ears; even he was now piqued by the curiosity this Evil Man had aroused. Is the Human Dao Chapter really so incredible? He was keen to listen attentively but was caught off guard by the sound of footsteps suddenly coming from the stairs.

The Evil Man went silent at once.

Xiao Jie thought, damn it, not again!

Tree Under the Cicada was also shocked and hastened to hide in a corner, casting an Invisibility Technique to erase his form.

A moment later, they saw a Taoist dressed in white robes, flanked by a group of real people and Daoist Children, descending the stairs.

Master Mingyue (Presiding master of Xuanxu Palace), Level 55 sect leader, Life Value 4600.

Seeing the name above that person’s head, Xiao Jie’s heart leapt, and he didn’t dare to move, afraid of being discovered.

It was another presiding master of Xuanxu Palace; this was trouble.

If discovered, hopefully, he wouldn’t get killed, but being blasted out of the sect was almost certain, and he might end up captured for interrogation or simply imprisoned for a while...

Xiao Jie’s mind raced with thoughts as his hand instinctively moved away from the keyboard, for fear that even the slightest movement might draw attention.

Fortunately, the Transform into Human spell was remarkably effective; Master Mingyue had no inkling of anything amiss and led the group directly to the Evil Man’s cell.

Xiao Jie secretly observed from the side. This Master Mingyue appeared to be much younger, clean-shaven, with striking eyebrows and incredibly handsome. His pristine white robe was spotless, but his face bore a hint of chill, giving off the impression of not being easy to get along with.

The Evil Man was quite cheerful, "Master Mingyue, you’ve come to see me again."

Master Mingyue said solemnly, "Evil Man, are you willing to reveal who is really behind you?"

"Hahaha, Master Mingyue, why waste your time? Just do whatever you have in mind to me."

"If you won’t speak, maybe these external Avatars of yours can’t withstand it." Saying so, he waved his hand.

Immediately, two Taoists dragged a Foolish Taoist out of the cage and began to torture him with fire and thunder, interrogating him while inflicting pain. The Foolish Taoist only cried out, looking no different from an idiot.

The surrounding Mad Taoists cursed angrily, while each and every Foolish Taoist begged for mercy.

The Evil Man remained completely unmoved.

"Hahahaha, what’s the use of torturing them? They’re just external Avatars; what does it matter if they die?"

On hearing this, the Foolish Taoists just blankly smiled foolishly, seemingly indifferent to their identities as Avatars.

The Mad Taoists, however, were howling, stamping their feet, and cursing angrily.

"Who is an Avatar? You’re the Avatar! I, the Taoist, have boundless mana, how could I be some Avatar? Watch me split one from myself—transform!"

With a ’poof,’ three Foolish Taoists suddenly appeared around the cursing Mad Taoist.

After the transformation, the Mad Taoist became smug, "See, I am the real body. You are all split from me."

But the other Mad Taoists would not have it, "No, no, I am the real body! I am the real body! I can use the Clone Technique too."

The Mad Taoists used the Clone Technique one after another, ’poof’ ’poof’ ’poof’ ’poof’! In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Foolish Taoists appeared.

Xiao Jie watched, dumbfounded, wow, so that’s how these Foolish Taoists came about! He silently reconstructed the truth in his heart—so the Evil Man cloned a bunch of Mad Taoists, and the Mad Taoists further cloned many Foolish Taoists?

But wasn’t this Clone Technique supposed to be like a demon beast’s mirror image, just an illusion that would vanish when the time was up? How could they possibly possess their own sense of identity? That’s truly amazing.

However, it was clear that the personalities of these clones were far inferior to the original; the crazy were insanely crazy, and the foolish were foolish.

The Evil Man laughed heartily at the actions of the Mad Taoists, "Hahaha, you see, these external Avatars don’t even know their own identities, each thinking they are real, each with their own consciousness, they can’t tell you anything when you interrogate them."

Master Mingyue smiled grimly, "Since you know the mystery of these external Avatars, have you never considered that perhaps you are just another’s external Avatar? You think you are real, but maybe that’s just the effect of a spell."

The Evil Man’s face froze when he heard this, and a contemplative look appeared on his face.

"No, I can’t possibly be an Avatar," he said, his voice hesitating somewhat.

Master Mingyue continued, "Oh? Then tell me, what is your name, where do you live, and what are you planning to do? If you’re an Avatar, your memory won’t be complete, but if you’re the real body, you should be able to answer."

The Evil Man snorted coldly, "Hmph, what’s so difficult about that? My name is—my name is—I’m your grandpa, hahahaha, trying to trick me with such tactics? Master Mingyue, that’s all you’ve got."

Master Mingyue sighed, as if not surprised, "As expected, it’s no good. But there is another way to come to an answer." Master Mingyue approached the cage of a Mad Taoist, looking at the Mad Taoist inside. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a white light whizzed out of his sleeve.

The white light circled around the neck of the Mad Taoist and then instantly returned to his sleeve. A figure of -500 (250 excessive damage) appeared above the Mad Taoist’s head.

The life bar of the Mad Taoist hit rock bottom. He stood stiffly for a moment before his head suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and he collapsed dead without a sound.

And the three Foolish Taoists that had appeared around him also saw their life bars drop to zero and fell dead, silently and without a stir.

"Just as I suspected, when the original body dies, the Avatars die as well. So if you are the original, then these must all be your external Avatars, and killing you, they will all die.

But if you are just another Avatar, then among these Avatars, there must be additional Avatars of another Evil Man, so naturally, not all will die. How about we test it out?"
