Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1697 - 457: Tenth Tier, This Is Not My Path (8k)_5

He had never been so clear-headed, so clear-headed that he realized that even if he opened the Hungry Ghost Dao, it might not be the path he truly wanted to break through to the ultimate.Yu Ziqing's thoughts were racing. After comprehending the most crucial things, he collected his emotions.

He began to continue deducing how to tear apart and resolve that huge fragment.

Now with enough time, he proposed a plan to Emperor Zhen, instructing them to gradually reduce the size of that large fragment from its edges.

When it was reduced to a certain point, Yang had also done processing Dadui's piece and flew to Dazhen.

Yang was full of regret for not being able to witness the first Tenth Tier breakthrough firsthand, even though it was by an individual cultivator, learning from others was immensely meaningful.

Watching Dazhen's people still incessantly cutting that fragment, Yang clasped his hands and looked at You Zhen, whose figure was even larger than when he used Fatian Xiangdi. You Zhen's body was emaciated, nearly skin and bones, his Qi-Blood exhausted.

"You Zhen, can you still hold on?

Can you take the remaining fragments to the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land?"

"I can." You Zhen replied, his voice carrying weariness, yet his spirit clearly rejuvenated.

"To thoroughly resolve the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land and address the increasingly cold climate, using this thing could be very suitable, follow me."

You Zhen nodded, holding up the remaining thousand-mile fragment and stepping forward, following Yang westward.

Emperor Zhen, along with Dazhen's strongest, closely followed suit.

You Zhen held a giant fragment, crossing the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, where even the Extreme Cold Stream couldn't freeze the Qi-Blood flames enveloping him.

He rushed through, reaching the west of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land, where Yang began directing Dazhen's people to continue cutting that enormous fragment.

They kept dropping the divided fragments into the western side of the Extremely Cold Forbidden Land. Though they didn't understand why, they complied.

Yu Ziqing watched this scene, pondering deeply.

"Yang, you mentioned before that this place used to have a huge amount of water, are you going to block it now?"

"Yes."

"The massive water influx disrupted the salt balance in the West Sea, interrupting the circulation of cold and warm currents.

Now we are rebuilding the balance, allowing this place to evolve and restore vitality, right?"

"It's good to learn more, it never hurts." Yang was very gratified that Yu Ziqing was willing to learn these things many cultivators deemed useless.

Though the reason was not solely one, being able to understand and judge was already commendable.

In a great mood, Yang handed Yu Ziqing a small booklet he compiled from dozens of pages of book lists.

The booklet's cover was inscribed with the words "Call the Wind and Summon the Rain."

"I underestimated you for realizing this, you've possibly laid the groundwork to learn 'Call the Wind and Summon the Rain', here you go."

Yu Ziqing looked at the cover's "Call the Wind and Summon the Rain", full of joy, it was rare for Yang to directly give him a secret tome.

But upon opening it, and taking a closer look, he reached the last page.

Yu Ziqing's smile gradually faded.

Indeed, he misunderstood Yang.

Yang's supposed secret tome was, as usual, merely a book list directory.

He put away the booklet, turned, and looked back.

Just then, You Zhen looked towards the east.

"Someone in the East Sea has started breaking through to the Tenth Tier."

"Old Emperor Qian!" Yu Ziqing's expression darkened, that scoundrel truly dared.

He used some tricks to stall everyone in the Three Divine Dynasties, then returned to the present world to break through.

"I will go." You Zhen's form shrank slowly, returning to normal size.

The ground's Qi beneath his feet still supported him, providing him a continuous stream of vitality to swiftly recuperate from his exhaustive breakthrough.

There was another force Yu Ziqing couldn't comprehend, seemingly appearing from thin air, that continually enhanced You Zhen's power and expedited his recovery.

Even though he looked gaunt and severely Qi-Blood deficient, his aura was far stronger than at his previous peak.

You Zhen traversed the earth at incredible speed, as if the land actively propelled him forward, vanishing in an instant.

Meanwhile, at the center of the deep sea.

Old Emperor Qian's aura was unceasingly climbing; his Qi Refining Dao had reached its limit and was ready to break through.

Refining God Dao felt like it was missing something, but after mastering the Ancient God's Dao, he somewhat understood why.

Cliff Divine King was drinking poison to quench thirst, adding flesh to build the Refining God Dao, making cultivators in this Dao always feel incomplete, so naturally, none dared to break through.

However, to Old Emperor Qian, it no longer mattered.

His current Qi Refining Dao was auxiliary, Refining God Dao was also auxiliary, Divine Dynasty Dao, likewise auxiliary; the Ancient God's Dao was the true core.

He gazed towards the direction of Dazhen Divine Dynasty, clasped his hands.

"Unexpectedly, the first in this world to break through to the next world was an individual cultivator.

The strongest cultivator of this age indeed lives up to the name.

It's a pity, you've burnt out too much, too late to stop me."

Old Emperor Qian let out a low shout, his internal power began to soar, the Qi Refining Dao being the first to start breaking through.
