Chapter 351: Chapter 344 Another Visit to the Earth List

In this world, everyone knows of the previous epoch and the existence of God Demon abilities, and many seek or worship them.

But very few know that some God Demons are still alive.

Usually, those in the know have truly come into contact with them. Otherwise, if someone just spouted off that there are beings who survived the epoch’s destruction and remained immortal, who would believe it?

Once contact is made, naturally, various relationships are born, so pretending they don’t exist and living one’s own life is hardly possible.

As people have climbed the ladder of cultivation to today’s state, countless Ancient Techniques from ancient times have become intertwined in their journey, indelible even if they wished to sever them, with most being inheritors themselves.

Thus, they either come into conflict with these beings or become their agents in the human realm, striving for their complete resurrection.

The former is Xia Longyuan. The latter is Bo’e.

In a sense, Zhao Changhe could also be considered the latter, except he harbors rebellion in his heart.

Yuxu looked at Zhao Changhe with a solemn expression, trying to determine which category he fell into.

Logically, with Zhao Changhe’s level of cultivation, he shouldn’t have reached the point of contact with these matters yet... If he were nurtured by a God Demon from youth, but his inheritance is patchy, and his foundational technique is the Blood Evil Skill, which is quite mediocre—merely "sufficient."

What kind of God Demon agent would have such a weak inheritance.

That’s right... his auxiliary Inner Strength should be the Six Harmonies Divine Skill, which is a Divine Skill created by Xia Longyuan after achieving great success and unifying everything under heaven. It is said that he is a prince... But why doesn’t Zhao Changhe know Xia Longyuan’s other techniques?

Yuxu slowly said, "Could it be that Xia Longyuan sent you to Kunlun?"

Zhao Changhe was taken aback and then laughed wryly, "It has nothing to do with him."

Yuxu was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked, "What do you think of them?"

Zhao Changhe replied, "Actually, I don’t have any particular opinion about them... Put yourself in their shoes—if I were living my life well and suddenly, out of nowhere, a disaster struck and I was severely injured and dying, hiding somewhere, struggling to survive, then what’s wrong with wanting to be revived?"

His words were genuinely heartfelt. Zhao Changhe despised the blind one for tricking him, but he never thought there was anything wrong with their desire to be revived. If it weren’t for you tricking me, I wouldn’t have used the Beauty Liquid to insult you.

Yuxu stared at him for a long time and then nodded, "Your words imply there’s more to say, continue."

Zhao Changhe continued, "Continuing with myself as an example, suppose I’m severely injured and dying, hidden somewhere, and someone happens to pass by. I would hope he would do something to help me revive, and I would definitely request his help, offering ample reward. If he agrees, I would regard him as a benefactor and be eternally grateful. If he doesn’t want to, I cannot force him."

Yuxu gradually revealed a smile, "Good. But what if this task is very troublesome and no one is willing to help?"

"Then I might use some deceptive tricks..." Zhao Changhe paused and then chuckled, "If he discovers he’s been tricked and wants to beat me up, I’d accept it."

"Beat you up..." Yuxu burst into laughter, "With your Mystical Gate Ninth Layer and Half-step Secret Treasure, he’s just a beginner, how could he beat you? Would you stand there and let him hit you?"

Zhao Changhe fell silent.

Yuxu continued, "And to the entire world, they are all but beginners. After your revival, when you look around and see nothing but rubbish, will you continue living your own life, or will you spread Taoist Skill widely? Or will you feel that you can rule over everything?"

Zhao Changhe thought for a moment and then shook his head, "It depends on the person. If it were me, I suppose I would continue with my own life, cutting down anyone I didn’t like to see."

"Right, it depends on the person. We can only hope for what they think," Yuxu said calmly. "Unless they are agents of faith, dedicated to this cause... among the rest who know, how many would be willing to leave their future to the thoughts of others?"

Zhao Changhe finally nodded, "True. It seems irreconcilable."

Back at the Sword Emperor’s Tomb, why was there no need for discussion between Tang Wanju, Sisi, or even Zhao Changhe himself? The consensus was simply to continue the sealing?

"Who would dare pin their future on what the Sword Emperor might think after his resurrection?" At that time, the evil Qi was thick in the tomb, and if he wanted to slaughter, who could resist?

It would be better to just keep lying there.

The Sword Emperor wanted to resurrect, and he was not wrong in that, while everyone else did not want him to resurrect, and they were not wrong either.

Irreconcilable.

Yuxu looked at him for a long time, then suddenly said, "You talk like this, you’re not an agent."

Zhao Changhe said, "Of course I’m not."

Yuxu said, "If that’s the case, then you should use less of their inheritance."

Zhao Changhe asked, "Is it because there will be a sense of indebtedness?"

"That’s one reason...whether or not one feels indebted depends on the person," Yuxu said indifferently. "The key issue is, using their inheritance, it’s uncertain if some strange incidents might occur...If it’s just moves and techniques, that’s still okay, but with cultivation techniques, use them as little as possible. If you can create your own, that’s even better..."

Having said this, Yuxu let out a laugh, "Looking at it this way, your Blood God Sect inheritance is quite fitting. This Ancient Demon God doesn’t seem to have been one of the particularly strong ones. If something really goes awry, it won’t be too troublesome to deal with. Besides, it’s very likely this entity is indeed dead. If it had any perception, knowing its legacy was still in the world, the Blood God Sect wouldn’t be in such a sorry state..."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

"The old Taoist admired the path of Yuxu from the Ancient Kunlun and self-titled Yuxu. It’s similar to assuming a family name like those of Cui and Wang. Looking back now, it’s also foolishness beyond measure. Actually, Ancient Demons, there was no Yuxu either, that was just a legend from ancient texts, hahaha..." Yuxu continued to laugh. "Now, lying drunk in Kunlun, amidst the clouds and mountain scenery, I am Yuxu, who can say otherwise?"

Zhao Changhe bowed his hands in respect: "Indeed."

In his heart, he began to puzzle things out a bit. Yuxu had inherited the Taoist ways, believing himself to be of the Taoist intent, following the path of the Tao, but some beings did not see it that way, they considered it a continuation of their own lineage.

Wasn’t that where the conflict arose.

It was likely that Yuxu also did a few things for them, perhaps to make up for the "indebtedness," but it was very possible that these things went against his own wishes, things he did not want to do, thus he might have conned villains into doing them.

The villains who had entered the mountain might not have all perished. They should be engaged in some endeavor. Now and then some would leave the mountain and enter the city, which could explain why people thought the villains were secluded in the mountains under protection.

If this inference was correct, it could also be deduced that those villains were very likely being driven to search for the Heavenly Book.

The Heavenly Book shouldn’t be in Yuxu’s possession, otherwise, it would make no sense for the blind man to send me here — a Mystical Gate martial artist looking for the fourth on the Heavenly List to ask for the Heavenly Book? Other than seeking death, it would be meaningless. It’s very likely in a secret realm within this peak that even Yuxu hasn’t obtained.

Moreover, Yuxu might not even want to obtain it. It is another being that truly desires it, and Yuxu sending villains to search seems quite half-hearted. If he had obtained it himself, it might actually be a hot potato for him.

He just wants to sleep and drink.

Previously, I suspected Xia Longyuan to be a rebel, but later found out that wasn’t the case; that fellow was more of a challenger.

Yuxu is the real rebel, it’s just that his personality, or rather the "way" in him, makes his rebellion appear rather passive.

His attitude when I first arrived here was now fully explained; what I’m doing here, don’t ask, it’s no good, go where you’re meant to be.

Zhao Changhe suddenly said, "If I wish to have another drink with the elder, when would be convenient?"

Yuxu looked at him for a while and smiled, "Reach the Second Layer Secret Treasure, then come back after the Earth List."

Zhao Changhe nodded, "Where is the place I should be going?"

Yuxu bulged his eyes out, almost throwing a bowl at him, "If you seek to refine your Blood Evil Skill, where else to go if not Wushan?"

Zhao Changhe stood up and bowed, "Understood, when I come to drink with senior in the future, I’ll bring the wine myself."
