I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4053: Chapter 1924: Ascension (Part 2)

This kind of person is the most terrifying.

The Medicine Ancestor surviving from ancient times to the present already explains a lot of things.

"Great wisdom appears foolish."

"He is more calculating than imagined..."

In a flash of inspiration, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly caught a "truth" that had been overlooked because the battlefield had changed so rapidly.

He did not avoid the question and asked directly, "Brother Pei, with Hua Ancestor attaining the Great Path, everything seems reasonable, but there’s one matter I still don’t understand. Could you enlighten me?"

It’s good that Xu Xiaoshou is willing to speak... Pei’s eyes lit up, "Speak!"

"Why did the Ghost Ancestor not resist at all on the Other Shore Bridge and willingly throw himself into Hua Ancestor’s arms, sacrificing himself for another’s success?"

...

"Look quickly!"

"Bazhun’an is fading!"

In Shengshen Continent, with the power of name, Bazhun’an stabilized the five regions’ mountains and seas, allowing the Spiritual Cultivation world to temporarily remain intact after he made his move.

But once the matter was over, someone was shocked to discover...

The presence of Bazhun’an suddenly faded a lot; the most direct manifestation was his body turning semi-transparent.

It’s as if...

He was about to disappear?

"Ascension?"

"But isn’t the Heavenly Realm shattered? Where can he ascend to, and there’s no Guiding Light?"

"Come to think of it, is there such a thing as ’guiding’, but entering God’s Relics requires it."

"The Three Ancestors are all hiding, choosing not to confront the sharp edge, so does this mean they’re waiting for Bazhun’an to perish on his own?"

Too rigid will break easily!

Now, people have seen the example.

In the eyes of those who are observant, more things can be discerned: A pig that’s too fat, if it can’t be slaughtered, nor processed much, just let it die of obesity!

"Breaking out of the Cage is death, breaking it is also another form of death..."

Black Chicken looked up, even more troubled.

He couldn’t know what kind of inspiration the Three Ancestors got from Bazhun’an’s Way.

But with so many ages passed, having nurtured only three living Ancestral Gods, would they gain nothing after witnessing Bazhun’an’s ascension to the Great Path?

"You go first."

He ordered Yu Zhiwen to chase Xi away.

Black Chicken exhaled, and the scythe of the God of Death appeared in midair.

Pei only knew one part, not the other, or perhaps he had concerns and did not speak much, the final answer he gave was:

"Perhaps the Ghost Ancestor has a backup plan?"

Like a blind man feeling an elephant, what result can be felt?

After all, a chance meeting, compared to Pei, Xu Xiaoshou thought repeatedly, still feeling that even if negotiating with a tiger for its skin, perhaps this matter could be shared with Dao Qiongcang.

After all, they had signed an intelligence-sharing contract, temporarily grasshoppers on the same rope.

However, eggs should not be put in one basket.

The same thoughts, the same confusion, the same questions, as Xu Xiaoshou tossed the Spirit Rhinoceros Technique to Dao Qiongcang, he also threw it to Bazhun’an.

How Dao Qiongcang could answer, he eagerly awaited.

But more eagerly awaited was one problem, if it was really hard to solve, perhaps a way could be found to resolve the problem-maker.

One force to break all Methods!

Just in time, Bazhun’an currently possessed overpowering force!

...

"Sizzle..."

On Lingyu Mountain, Hua Ancestor burned out.

Bazhun’an waited for a moment, but the Three Ancestors, afraid like tigers, did not show up, disappointing everyone.

Even the most brutish Medicine Ancestor expected did not appear in time.

Returning to zero in one step indeed disrupted everyone’s rhythm.

This is not fortunate, but further proves...

"The intention is vast."

Hua Changdeng’s two counterattacks extinguished his various circuitous methods.

From the moment he had to reveal his trump card, Bazhun’an knew that even if he succeeded, he wouldn’t have much time left.

Obviously, the Three Ancestors saw through this too.

Hidden well, if one wanted to waste time and energy to find and kill them all together.

From ancient times to the present, with so many hidden cards, whether they could be cut cleanly is one matter.

Finding and wielding the sword itself, the "time" and "power" consumed is enough to bring despair.

"Can fishing work?"

Blessings do not come in pairs, misfortunes do not come singly.

Before a better strategy could be devised, just at this moment, Xu Xiaoshou threw over an intent.

"The Ghost Ancestor has fallen. Could the Ghost Ancestor we saw earlier have been the Medicine Ancestor in disguise?"

The sentence was even more daunting than Hua Changdeng.

Bazhun’an could already imagine how many hairs Xu Xiaoshou would have scratched off. Perhaps the fate of the Infernal lineage was meant to be bald?

"Xu Xiaoshou, don’t rush; believe in yourself."

From the place where Hua Changdeng fell, two items were left: one was the Ancestral God Fate Chart, the other was the character "Hua."

The broken sword Qingju gave a gentle flick.

Bazhun’an hooked the two items and didn’t keep them to himself but casually tossed them into the Apricot Realm, leaving Xu Xiaoshou to handle them.

There might be troubles within, Xu Xiaoshou... can only believe in himself.

"What I can do is no longer much."

Time is running out; Bazhun’an couldn’t waste time thinking. He was just a pawn.

The joys and sorrows between people and the Ancestral God do not connect.

The crucial matter, even more important than the Third Ancestor in front of him, was: In the absence of the Heavenly Realm, after a headstrong return to zero, he was about to "ascend."

The Shengshen Continent cannot bear his power. If he forcibly stays, it will inevitably lead to the continent’s collapse.

Actions are limited, even if using "Yi’s" approach to minimize damage to the five regions.

The damage is still too great.

Going to the Apricot Realm, going to the Divine Relics...

Even transporting the population of Shengshen Continent, using Xu Xiaoshou’s Way of Space, to move them all to the Apricot Realm...

And then here, engaging in a decisive battle with the Third Ancestor, even if it crumbles Shengshen Continent...

All these approaches merely treat the symptoms, not the root!

The Third Ancestor is not foolish and won’t show up; they will use various methods to smuggle or forcefully cross into the Apricot Realm, the Divine Relics, to plot a comeback.

Moreover, after himself, Kui Leihan, The Divine, Xu Xiaoshou, and others, if they successfully harmonize, what then?

Thousands of difficulties converge into one:

Where to go after ascension is an urgent problem to solve!

Taking actions one knew earlier were impossible was not an act of recklessness; Bazhun’an had long devised a countermeasure.

And this strategy involves one person, tied to a gentleman’s agreement.

"Kong Yuhen."

Letting go of those anxiety-inducing worries, Bazhun’an glanced aside and softly called a certain person’s Brother Anxiety.

At the horizon, faint golden spiritual light flickered.

Outsiders only noticed this singular phenomenon; in Bazhun’an’s eyes, there was an ancient three-story pavilion in the void, the All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion.

"Mr. Bazhun’an."

The wooden door opened, and a graceful gentleman stepped out, a jade-like face with a smile, clasping hands in congratulations: "Congratulations on achieving the Way, Bazhun’an. Returning to zero in one step, I have come to fulfill our agreement."

The five regions were shocked, looking up.

They saw above the Nine Heavens, from the clouds, winding the river of time, with an ethereal figure standing on top, full of extraordinary energy.

"Kong Yuhen?"

"The Ten High Nobles, Kong Yuhen, from Moon Drunk Wine?"

"What is this person’s stance, and why have they appeared? This person hasn’t been heard of for decades..."

Has it come to this point?

Black Chicken looked up, seeing Kong Yuhen holding six gate pendants, his intentions clear.

At this point, he was extraordinarily aligned with the Time Ancestor seen behind the three doors, as if they were one.

In his mind, the evaluation from the Divine Relics, from Cursed Yin, emerged:

"Standing above the river of time, not entering the Great Path’s cycle of life and death, comprehending the past and present, knowing fate, being in the secular world, yet form and Intent transcending."

It’s truly not an exaggeration.

Every word, every sentence is a recognition and a caution of the Time Ancestor.

It also rekindled memories of seeing the Demon Ancestor on the river of time, who once mentioned a transaction:

"Your task is to gather all of Kong Yuhen from the river of time for me and hand them over once confirmed that none are missing."

The time realm is their divine palace.

If the time realm is reshaped, Kong Yuhen might accomplish the Way.

If within the time realm, one finds the past Heavenly Realm, Bazhun’an would also have a place to stand. At that time, with a commanding view, connecting upper and lower channels, the Third Ancestor would not be feared.

All this, however, must be built on the foundation of "success."

How to reshape the time realm, when to find the Heavenly Realm within the time realm, and whether Returning to Zero Ancestral God can achieve this step...

Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t see.

He knew this was unknown for Kong Yuhen and Bazhun’an as well.

The reality is!

If the time realm and Heavenly Realm are to be reshaped and realized, the time needed would definitely not be short.

So, under the mighty wave surging forth, Bazhun’an’s exit signified "first to leave the stage," and every person after...

Including Kong Yuhen!

Can Kong Yuhen end well?

Can Bazhun’an return?
