Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1634 - 439: Infinite Divine Artifact, Empty-Headed

Yu Ziqing immediately shifted his gaze, not daring to look more. With the level of his cultivation in the Dayan Preface reaching the Sixth Major Realm, he felt overwhelmed and found it hard to calculate.Ordinary cultivators might find their brains burnt through just by glancing at it.

"Have you given this thing a name?"

"Infinite."

As Yang's words fell, the word "Infinite" naturally emerged on the back of the compass.

Yang closed his open palm, and the compass disappeared within it.

"The rank of Jiu Nian is truly profound, embracing all things.

It's a pity that when you open his skull and look inside, it's completely empty, not even water inside."

After lamenting, Yang sneered in turn.

"Eh, you can tell that?"

"I can, he's been minced into bits and swallowed mouthful by mouthful by the Infinite Array; of course, I know there's everything inside except a brain."

"Is this rank strong?"

"Very strong, inherently embracing all, ever-changing.

Not only useful to himself, he could even use his rank to influence and create a race.

For instance, that devil can essentially be confirmed as concocted by Jiu Nian.

If he had a brain and spent considerable time,

perhaps he could encompass all living beings in this world.

On that day, he would be the root of all races and beings in this world.

By then, it wouldn't be just his rank being undying, but his consciousness truly being undying and immortal.

Before all living beings in this world are completely exterminated, he could anchor his own consciousness, and none could kill him.

Step back a thousand steps; if he could anchor his consciousness using devils, rather than relying on rank,

before the devils are extinct, he probably wouldn't truly die.

Unfortunately, he looks down on devils, inherently seeing them as bugs and ants."

"That's truly miserable..."

Towards an enemy already deceased, Yu Ziqing didn't mind conjuring a bit of sympathy for show.

Turning his thoughts, he recalled the name Jiu Nian.

Jiu, this nine, might contain a bit of imaginary meaning, symbolizing multiplicity.

Thinking carefully, last time Jiu Nian defaulted, arrogantly claiming to be undying, suppressed in endless darkness; even the Mountain Lord couldn't do anything to him.

Yet, this guy hadn't considered, he'd receive a periodic beating by the Mountain Lord.

The Mountain Lord couldn't kill him, but could make him suffer worse than death.

Feeling inexplicably bad one day, he'd go beat Jiu Nian, accidentally using the Cautionary Treasure Skill to whisk Jiu Nian several times.

The next day, hearing a captivating moment in a storytelling, Jiu Nian started making a fuss, warranting another beating.

Day by day, over long years, if Jiu Nian hadn't turned into an idiot, it indeed shows he was truly formidable.

So in the late period, Jiu Nian probably wasn't unaware, but his brain no longer supported him contemplating these matters.

Even prohibiting him from having any new thoughts on developing his rank.

It didn't just put him into a stagnant state but made him regress.

After all, saying gods are arrogant, Yu Ziqing believes, but arrogant enough to disdain devils even in death, Yu Ziqing doesn't believe.

It's both arrogance, inherently looking down on devils, and also being unable to think of further developing his rank.

This made Yu Ziqing reflect, back then merely suppressing these folks, letting them believe they were immortal, that time meant nothing to them, and couldn't expend them to death.

Even the guardians were none other than the Mountain Lord, known universally for being unable to kill Jiu Nian.

Could this have been intentional?

Time meant nothing to the gods, without lifespan limitations.

But a sufficiently long time could let the Mountain Lord accidentally whisk their brains away.

Thinking carefully, if given enough time, he could truly whisk a Jiu Nian-like being into a fool just dawdling somewhere, brains empty, thinking of nothing.

Even if he remains a god, with rank, with power, has he actually become no threat?

So back then suppressing several in one fell swoop truly aimed at resolving the issue.

What actually worked was the gods' disregard for the passage of time.

Probably even the Mountain Lord didn't know this, if known, perhaps it would've been worse.

Just letting the Mountain Lord act freely, leaving things to chance was the best choice.

Hmm, then there's a new problem.

The Mountain Lord says his Cautionary Treasure Skill is primarily used to restrain himself.

Could it be...

Well, backhandedly defaming big brother isn't appropriate.

Yu Ziqing decisively halted his wild thoughts, muttering a silent sigh.

I really want to learn the Cautionary Treasure Skill.

This thing is so useful.

Unfortunately, learning this thing probably isn't feasible.

Better to learn from Yang; his divine powers are difficult to master, but at least learnable.

Later, he'll continue learning.

The skill Yang showed previously, shrinking and storing a successfully operating big array, clearly proves the divine skills' high development potential.

Also, traveling once using divine powers seemed slow, but was actually faster than tunneling light, this too must be learned.

Using these divine powers for travel surely saves time.

"Let's not waste time here, there are truly a lot of devils.

Especially those Great Devils, if careless, it might lead to big trouble.

Try our best to see if we can solve them early, then solve them quickly."

Yang waved his hand, and everything around reverted to normal, transforming into the outside scene.
