Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1535 - 409: Eyes Shining, a Normal Person (5k)_2

Otherwise, learning a secret technique and divine skills might end up killing yourself.It's not that I don't want to teach you...

When Yang said this, Yu Ziqing's eyes shone brighter, and he clapped his hands with a laugh.

"Isn't this just perfect? I've deduced to the 42nd layer."

"You... huh, what?" Yang was dumbfounded; how could he not know Yu Ziqing's level?

He painstakingly cultivated the Dayan Preface simply because he found this Dharma Method particularly helpful for his research.

Although it squandered a lot of time on cultivation, it greatly improved his efficiency during research and could even raise the upper limit.

This raising of the upper limit is especially important; sometimes, the success or failure of a subject hinges on whether the last bit can be broken through.

"I was just lucky, and I found this Dharma Method particularly suits me. Maybe I have a talent for it." Yu Ziqing boasted with an unchanged expression.

Then, he shifted the topic back on track.

"Now, can you finally teach me this?"

"This Dharma Method involves many things, from formations, to making storage rings, ordinary artifact refining, the crafting of Cave Heaven Magic Pot, to runes, Daoist Patterns, and even some alchemy techniques, all of which are involved, and its execution requires very high standards, we'll talk about it later."

"It's fine, there's no rush with this, take your time, I'll learn slowly."

Yu Ziqing was in no hurry at all; the moment he saw it, he was determined to master it.

Even if Yang would never learn to change, he could accept that.

"Never mind that, I have something important to tell you—the Ancient Demon we were looking for has been found.

It's a Little Merfolk, also brought back.

Unlike the Bodhi Tree Demon or the Cloud Whale.

This little one was likely awakened at birth.

Aren't you planning to set up a school?

Just place this little one into your school.

Teach them well first, their tribe was annihilated, and they're still somewhat afraid of people now."

"It doesn't matter, one more doesn't make a difference."

"However, I also discovered a lot of other things over there..."

Yang explained some things he noticed in the books, which the locals there took for granted, and shared his judgment.

Yu Ziqing was somewhat shocked.

"You mean, back in the day, when the Evil Lord was influenced and the Evil Dao twisted him, leading him astray.

That should have been the time he had a fight with a major figure.

In the end, both suffered great losses, the Evil Lord turned into a ghostly figure of pure evil thoughts, fell into Jinlan Mountain with the Jade Tomb.

And the other major figure fell into the Immovable Continent and created Vast Qi that's completely opposite of Evil Qi.

Jinlan Mountain is shrouded in Alien power, making it hard to cultivate Qi, and the other side is also shrouded by Alien power, even more severely.

Considering everything, you mean Wen Jun may have left a legacy over there?

But that's impossible, Wen Jun fell quite early.

It seems at the end of our ancient period, only then did they start having cultivators practicing Vast Qi.

The Evil Lord never mentioned any of this...

Oh, right, the Evil Lord's ghostly appearance at that time, it's normal if he doesn't remember.

But I believe these things are definitely connected.

From what you say, the Demon Clan's power over there isn't small, and Vast Qi restrains evil, it's only normal for this path to develop.

What else did you find?"

"I'm reading those books slowly, taking it slow in case I miss anything. I'll tell you once I know more."

Yang smiled, feeling suddenly at ease.

Without detailing everything, just providing information made Yu Ziqing come up with a bunch of guesses.

It seemed Yu Ziqing was very happy, and even more interested than himself.

Compared to those illiterates who only focus on cultivation-related classics, Yang felt much more comfortable—it was obvious he taught him well; Yu Ziqing was unlike the others.

"Go board the ship; the saints are waiting, about the secret technique, I'll compile it later and give you a reading list, listing out what you need to learn, you start by looking at that."

"Deal."

The two flew onto the Black Ship, where the Black Ship's High Priest and the Black Ship Saints were lined up and waiting.

Seeing Yu Ziqing landing on the deck, a group of Black Robed Men, whose presence exuded an eerie aura, not like upright folks, respectfully saluted simultaneously.

"Greetings, sir."

"We are fortunate not to disgrace our mission, we successfully brought back the Ancient Demon's descendant, it's in the cabin, sir, please."

"Thank you all." Yu Ziqing courteously returned the gesture.

The Black Ship's High Priest led the way to the cabin, all the while recounting the things he saw along the journey.

As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Yu Ziqing.

"This was entrusted to me by a member of the Ji Clan to deliver to you."

Yu Ziqing opened the letter and read its content.

Ji Shen's words were sincere, explaining the whole story and past grievances.

Expressing gratitude to Yu Ziqing, stating that from now on, the Ji Clan would always be Yu Ziqing's friend.

Whatever Yu Ziqing aims to do in the future, the Ji Clan would exert its utmost effort to help with one thing, even if it might cost Ji Shen his life.

Yu Ziqing recalled, back when he ambushed the White Sun Holy Mother, and through retrospection, witnessed in the White Sun Holy Mother's memory how they had been terribly tormented.

Provoking a ruthless individual, and after being tormented for five consecutive lifetimes, only then finding an opportunity to leave the Immovable Continent and daringly cross the deep sea to come towards the Four Divine Dynasties.

If they hadn't escaped swiftly, they might have been ground down to complete obliteration by that ruthless individual, one lifetime after another.

That person likely was an ancestor of the Ji Clan.
