Chapter 215: Chapter 122: Preaching, Supreme_2

Only by becoming a Venerable does one have the opportunity to step out of the chessboard and become a chess player.

Underneath the Venerable, everyone is merely a pawn.

"Hmm, in that case, let’s begin the Dao lecture." Qi Yuan nonchalantly suggested.

Upon hearing this, Wang Gai suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

So soon?

No contract signing?

No Heart Demon vow?

No trials to test one’s loyalty?

Was he just handing out the Venerable opportunity so easily?

Wang Gai felt it was somewhat childish.

He found it hard to accept.

It was far more casual than taking a concubine into the ninth chamber.

The other people’s thoughts were largely similar to Wang Gai’s.

They all felt, more or less, that it sounded too far-fetched and were subsequently disappointed.

Because, the simpler it is, the more likely it is to be false.

It was as if there was not even an effort to perform a show.

Chen Huan, who was most familiar with Qi Yuan’s temperament, knew that his elder brother was unrestrained and impulsive.

Chen Huan looked meaningfully out at the city borders and said, "There are a few small bugs from Da Bei City who have followed us. Should we take care of them?"

"There’s no need, our Blood Palace doesn’t have a propaganda department, let them do the publicity for us, that even saves us from paying salaries." Qi Yuan casually replied.

He had already noticed the few Land Legends outside the City of No Return.

But he couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

"Ladies and Gentlemen... The Dao lecture begins." Qi Yuan looked at these four individuals, his gaze deepening at this moment.

The aura on his body was increasingly mysterious, as if it had merged with the universe.

The four people in the field also became solemn, listening intently.

Regardless of the truth, concerning the critical matter of ascending to Venerable, they had to take it seriously, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance it was true.

"The way of the Human Demon, the way of humans, the way of demons..."

"Human Demon as one, two facets of the same entity..."

The voice was ethereal, like the sound of a celestial being.

The four people in the field instantly entered a state of intense focus, as if in a fairyland, with fairy cranes, jade ponds, auspicious clouds and flying phoenixes.

Suddenly, their surroundings changed, as if they were in an endless demonic domain.

The fairy cranes turned into black crows, the jade pond into a blood pool, the auspicious clouds disappeared, and the sky was full of red and white burning twilight. Numerous demons extended their hands from the ground, pulling at everyone’s ankles, as if trying to drag them into hell.

The Dao lecture continued.

Chen Huan was standing aside, also listening intently.

Even though he was already a Venerable, listening to the Dao again brought deep insights, greatly aiding in his cultivation progress.

At this moment, outside the City of No Return, the faces of the three Land Legends were filled with astonishment.

"The Dao lecture begins already, isn’t this too childish?" The speaker was Li Yunzhi.

He and Wang Gai, who had entered the City of No Return, were close friends.

When his friend entered the City of No Return, he had tried to dissuade him, fearing a dangerous plot in the city.

But Wang Gai, considering his own interests and his inability to leave his family behind, chose to come to the City of No Return.

Li Yunzhi was somewhat uneasy, and according to instructions from a Venerable of Da Bei City, he arrived at the City of No Return.

He thought that with his presence, even if there was a grand scheme brewing in the City of No Return, the City Lord would restrain himself somewhat.

As for the innate Saint, imparting Dao to let people perceive their origins and ascend to Venerable.

That was simply too absurd.

Even Bai Di and the Supreme could not achieve this.

"This matter is indeed strange. What exactly is the City Lord of No Return trying to achieve?

Such an easily exposed scheme, why even bother?

Could it be just to trap a few Land Legends?

As a newly ascended Venerable, why would he go to such lengths to trap a few Land Legends?" A man with a long beard who looked rather foolish and clueless pondered aloud.

"Is it possible that the City Lord of No Return really is an innate Saint?" The only woman present chuckled.

Li Yunzhi shook his head: "Even an innate Saint cannot help a person step into Venerable status.

Even if Bai Di imparted Dao, it wouldn’t enable people to realize their origins.

The origin must be self-realized by each individual to carve out their own path."

The bearded man nodded in agreement, sighing, "Yunzhi makes sense. This is such an obvious principle, I wonder why those four can’t understand it."

Li Yunzhi continued, "Cultivation is about competing with the heavens, and the resources of the world are limited.

The world can’t produce so many Venerables!

Even if the City Lord of No Return is indeed an innate Saint and can help people ascend to Venerable statuts,

he would offend this realm and suffer divine punishment as a result."

Li Yunzhi analyzed from all angles and concluded... this is an inconceivable scam.

If there had to be a reason, maybe the City Lord of No Return is mad.

The three of them were stationed outside the City of No Return.

As time flew by, nightfall had arrived.

Li Yunzhi lazily stretched, "It seems we’re going to have to wait here for a while. If his Dao lectures take more than a decade and my foolish brother Wang Gai dies of old age inside... we’ll have to admit that the City Lord of No Return’s Dao lecture was ineffective."

At this moment, the woman frowned and said: "The City Lord of No Return... has left, has the Dao lecture ended?"

The three present were all somewhat surprised.

Li Yunzhi awkwardly chuckled, "The actions of the City Lord of the No Return... are quite unexpected."

He had just said that the City Lord was planning on killing time until some of the participants died, when suddenly the lecture ended.

"Was it effective?" The bearded man looked on, his face filled with bafflement.

"Perceiving the origins is not that simple, even if it is effective, it will be in a few months..." Li Yunzhi’s words trailed off halfway.

He stared at Wang Gai on the walls of the City of No Return, his eyes wide in disbelief.

His close friend, who had been stuck in Land Legend and unable to tread on the path of origins, was now exuding a terrifying aura.

"The origin!" Li Yunzhi’s eyes widened in shock.
