I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4286: Chapter 2001: Please Sever_3

"Dao Ancestor Yi Ji is also one of my angel investors and even has done me a favor?"

The reaction of Xu Xiaoshou was shock, but the three of Shi Ming Nuo clearly did not quite approve of the Dao Ancestor’s words.

"Dual cultivation leads to distraction. Originally, the reincarnated body of the Name Ancestor weakens over generations, and if energy is further scattered..."

"The Will Path should be the primary focus." Dao Ancestor Yi Ji always hit the nail on the head, "With the Will Path discerning me, plus selecting someone who is already ’self-aware,’ he will know what should be done and what shouldn’t be done at the right times."

"But, it’s still too risky. What if we’re discovered..."

"Yet, if there is no desire for greater achievement, why should Jin Ren involve himself in reincarnation? If one wants to peacefully abide by the rules, what is the point of gathering here, and why call upon me?" Dao Ancestor’s thoughts were extremely clear.

The Third Ancestor remained silent, each lost in their own contemplation.

Dao Ancestor Yi Ji waited for a while, seeing no one else speak, he took action himself.

"The power, I’ve already embedded into the wheel."

"The memory of the play crane, there’s no need for me to view it, just embedding it into the wheel is sufficient."

Having finished everything, evidently not planning to linger longer, he waved his hand, hinting at his intent to leave:

"I have my own methods, my own path to follow, I won’t stay much longer with the three of you."

"At that time..."

He paused, looked towards the Name Ancestor, with a hint of wistfulness in his eyes:

"Perhaps in nine cycles of reincarnation, perhaps in ten thousand cycles of ages, if by then we can still meet again, I hope we can remember each other."

"If not, at least I have the confidence to rise again like the Eastern Mountain, hoping you, or your descendants, remember today’s events, remember that I, Yi Ji, am a petty person, a person who repays grace with revenge."

"At least, don’t go against me."

With a smile, he turned into starlight, coming and going swiftly, and left directly.

"Good luck to the three of you."

...

Dao Ancestor Yi Ji has left.

Subsequent scenes were no different from what Xu Xiaoshou had seen before.

Nuozu used the hair and blood of Time Ancestor and Name Ancestor to create a black wheel one after another.

Throughout all the procedures, Dao Ancestor Yi Ji was never seen again, nor was he mentioned.

It was as if, all three had forgotten that the Dao Ancestor had been there.

This naturally brought more disconnection to this "interjected" memory, making it hard to fully believe.

"But if it’s fake, since he already has the ability to insert a memory out of thin air during my Will Path retracing, then he absolutely has the ability to alter the words of Shi Ming Nuo, making their dialogue naturally reveal that ’Shi Ming Nuo Dao’ is a ’four-cornered underwear’ rather than a triangle, which would make it more convincing..."

"But if that person is Dao Qiongcang, or Yi Ji, they would foresee that I would think this far, that ’too real would make me doubt, so they’d use disconnection to make me believe,’ being able to act on the third layer, fourth layer, even the fifth layer..."

"So, is this ’interjection’ real or fake?"

Xu Xiaoshou scratched his head, racked his brain, but to no avail.

He watched the scene of the Will Path retracing over and over, yet every time it ended, it felt like he was losing hair, his brain juice almost boiling dry, still without results.

So hard!

Too hard!

If something doesn’t involve the ’Path,’ Xu Xiaoshou can usually control it fully, even the Divine Farmer Hundred Grass has been toyed with by him.

But once the ’Path’ gets involved, be it Dao Qiongcang or Dao Peipei or Dao Ancestor Yi Ji, it all makes things inexplicably mysterious.

The level of horror increases by more than tenfold!

The level of eeriness increases by more than tenfold!

The level of unpredictability also increases by more than tenfold!

The scariest part is, Xu Xiaoshou even has the premonition that when all is said and done, the Dao Ancestor Yi Ji seen in the Will Path retracing has the ability, facing the void, facing the unknown, actually seeing himself, directly speaking to his future self, saying what he’d most want to say to me, the descendant of Name Ancestor—this must be the final purpose of the ’interjection,’ right?

No!

Unexpectedly, no!

From start to finish, he seemed completely unaware of my existence.

But my Will Path retracing, a form of reading past memories, also involves the Memory Path, he must perceive it.

"Deliberately not looking at me, to pique my interest, feigning indifference to lure me in?"

"Or perhaps at the time, his power was limited, not yet returned to zero, not yet found the reverse side of the Memory Path, so couldn’t match my final-stage Will Path’s probing, couldn’t find my future attention on him?"

Again, it’s a question worth savoring.

Dao Ancestor Yi Ji, Dao Ancestor Dao Qiongcang, what on earth are you planning, are you wanting to defy heaven?

Xu Xiaoshou really couldn’t figure it out.

In that case, he simply didn’t think about it, and when out, he would first give Dao Ancestor—whether Yi Ji or Dao Qiongcang, three punches and three fingers, and talk about the rest later!

"You dog, didn’t expect this, did you? I, Xu Xiaoshou, am just someone who likes to repay kindness with revenge!"

Silently cursing, confirming the guess, but leaving unfulfilled, left Xu Xiaoshou in an awfully bad mood, eventually exiting the Will Path retracing.

He slowly withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness, trying not to dwell on it, yet not daring to think too little, fearing falling into Elder Dao the Flamboyant’s trap somewhere.

But the instant his consciousness broke free from the sea...

"Buzz!"

A familiar power spread from an unknown place.

Seemingly interfacing with the Will Path, Xu Xiaoshou looked up and saw at the end of the Sea of Consciousness, connecting with another vast ocean.

Memory!

The Sea of Memory!

There, standing above the surface, was the figure of the jade-faced Dao Ancestor Yi Ji seen in the previous Will Path retracing, only now, there was more weariness, more loneliness, and a touch of desolation.
