I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4167: Chapter 1963: Path Order_2

When was it?

Is Elder Qiao truly sanctified?

Upon reaching this train of thought, Xu Xiaoshou was shocked to realize what he had overlooked in the past.

Underneath the lamp is darkest!

Having come from the Tiansang Spirit Palace himself and after subconsciously venturing out, he roamed major cities and important places in the five domains, yet rarely did he take the time to seriously, thoroughly observe the Tiansang Spirit Palace inside and out.

Is the Tiansang Spirit Palace still the same Tiansang Spirit Palace?

On the surface, it should be, especially since Hallmaster Dao has already intervened!

But in reality, Hallmaster Dao’s Aje, the research conducted by Elder Qiao and the foundational concept of Dao robbing seem to have been nurtured at Tiansang Spirit Palace all along?

The Memory Path, Life Path, and Reincarnation Path, when looked at individually, seem completely unrelated.

Yet the array diagrams presented by the Divine Array and spiritual array, the divine path patterns manifested by the Way of the Heavens’ energy movement and Way of Spirit Array—how does this compare to Elder Qiao’s concept, fundamentally contrasting the creation of life diagrams?

A clap of thunder out of a clear sky!

It wasn’t until Hallmaster Dao subtly revealed a trace, relying on the strong intuition of the Will Path’s Extreme Realm, aligning with the self-resistant guidance of the brainstorming storm.

Until this point, Xu Xiaoshou seemed to see through what kind of card was hidden beneath the three words Dao Qiongcang.

Even though all this is still at the stage of theoretical speculation, looking at the bigger picture, which among the high-rank entities would notice these details?

Would the Demon Ancestor, Medicine Ancestor, and Cursed Yin perceive what Hallmaster Dao is doing, what he intends to do, had they already had such thoughts long ago?

Based on the way these three acted, the caution against Hallmaster Dao is virtually zero!

In fact, Medicine Ancestor until the moment of returning to zero to slumber, probably didn’t have Hallmaster Dao in mind as a figurehead, and peacefully fell asleep!

"Elder Qiao..."

Xu Xiaoshou’s mind couldn’t help but conjure that devilish laughter, the disrespectful old man always nodding off at the first window of the Spiritual Affairs Division.

Frightening isn’t just the potential schemes Hallmaster Dao might have, but also the past interactions Xu Xiaoshou has had with those around him.

If Hallmaster Dao merely influenced Elder Qiao through Aje, all seems even more unfeasible, yet the three words Hallmaster Dao upfront, seemingly acceptable.

But if "Elder Qiao" as a person, as an existence, underwent a drastic personality change after breaking through to Sovereign, not out of interest, but due to external factors, what then?

If this line of thought was indeed as extreme as imagined, considering Dao Peipei’s words, that Elder Sang was guided to Abyss Island, took Aje, and then upon returning to the Spirit Palace, happened to provide research for Elder Qiao.

In this process, a previously inexplicable logical loophole, previously only dismissed as "coincidence," suddenly becomes incredibly reasonable!

What kind of feeling is it when you contemplate the terror in depth?

In the deep pit, Bei Huai’s body trembled slightly due to the intervention of Power of Cursed Yin, Xu Xiaoshou slightly dazed with goosebumps rising all over him.

He turned his head towards Hallmaster Dao:

"Medicine Ancestor?"

Suddenly, these two words, following Hallmaster Dao’s "interruption" theory, seemed so incoherent.

But in the partnership of wolves in cahoots, their understanding is tacit, perfectly in sync.

Upon showcasing a hand in the Memory Path within the Life Medicine Pool, never thought Xu Xiaoshou, seeing too much of Hallmaster Dao, had already become accustomed to his sparse words, and could deduce further developments instantly.

Hallmaster Dao also tilted his head to look, but his face bore the signature of a smile that did not touch the eyes, remaining silent.

"..."

At Cross Corner Street, silence prevailed.

Hallmaster Dao said nothing, but before Xu Xiaoshou, light and shadow gathered, piecing together several scenes:

A mere child of about ten, born with red lips and white teeth, seen by Yue Gongli as another who likes to play with Divine Stone men, on the joint path of judgment with swallowing Elder Lu by Bei Huai, witnessed the terrifying influence of Medicine Ancestor upon cultivators of the Life Path.

Thus, his equally exceptional aptitude in the Life Path began to swiftly decline and got tainted by the Divine Path Principles, such a disreputable side-path, and consequently drew the attention of the Ancestral Gods.

Step by step he grew, step by step withdrew from Emperor Qianshi, finally distancing himself from the secret realm of the Holy Land teeming with Ancestral Gods, going down the Stairway to Heaven to the Central Region to take up an ordinary position as Hallmaster Dao.

In this seemingly mundane yet somewhat powerful position, and despite it seeming trivial it was not enough to warrant the Ancestral God’s attention, appearing to continue his life research, including within the Path Division and discreet changes among elites at the sacred mountain.

In truth, publicly repairing the plank roads, thereby drawing the Demon, Medicine Ancestors’ attention, yet not going as far as being halted like Bei Huai due to defiance, secretly going about unbeknown in the pursuit of Memory Path with rapid progress.

Throwing out seemingly important yet easily overlooked Hallmaster Dao avatars across different regions, researching unworthy of Ancestral God attention due to their scattered insignificance and trivial side-paths.

Thirty years of bitter waiting, taking the curve in the road at places of no inquiry, until today, until Medicine Ancestor reached zero, choosing to unmask the trump card, hoping to devour at Medicine Ancestor’s moment of achievement.

Hallmaster Dao?

Dao of endurance!

Kui Leihan had someone above, still recklessly advanced, for he had no other options but to go head-to-head.

Hallmaster Dao had someone above as well, decisively abandoned everything, taking a massive detour, stubbornly kept up and finally touched the hem of the first tier.
