The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect took a deep breath and poured out the pill from the bottle with a flick of his hand.
A pitch-black, ink-like pill materialized in his palm, an eerie light radiating from it as the laws of the universe flowed across its surface.
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect felt that this finally looked like a proper poison.
Whoosh...
Wasting no more time, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect flicked his finger.
The pill transformed into a wisp of black smoke of rules, instantly surging toward the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao high on the seat.
At this moment, the awakening of the Heavenly Dao had reached its most critical juncture.
Thousands of golden Heavenly Dao patterns crisscrossed, glowing brilliantly.
Yet, just as the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao was on the verge of waking up, the pill's effects kicked in. Those black rules dissolved into the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
Silently, they coiled around the Heavenly Dao's rules, beginning to entwine and merge with them.
The manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, which had been vast, majestic, and overawing for eternity, suddenly stiffened!
Its dazzling golden Heavenly Dao spiritual light dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The celestial pressure that had made it hard for the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect to breathe also came to an abrupt halt.
The phenomena of the Heavenly Dao's awakening faded away layer by layer.
The consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, which had already been halfway awake, plunged back into a deep slumber.
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his back already completely drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately for him, his crotch was still dry.
With lingering fear, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. “...It... It worked!”
He murmured in a low voice, never expecting that his Second Elder actually had some real skill.
She had actually managed to knock the about-to-wake Heavenly Dao completely unconscious!
Right then, the token at his waist flashed with light again, and Huo Furong's divine sense transmitted through: “Sect Master, how did it go?”
“I suppose you actually have some skill after all!”
“Hmph! What do you mean 'after all'? I've always been skilled. Just you wait. Sooner or later, I will definitely refine a pill that can poison her to death!”
Although he couldn't see Huo Furong's face, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect could easily picture her smug little expression.
Then, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect asked, “By the way, when will you guys find this place and rescue me?”
“That depends on the Grand Elder! I only know how to refine pills!”
“Hurry up! If she wakes up one day, you won't have a Sect Master anymore!”
The token flashed with azure light. “It's fine. If Lu Ming succeeds you, we'll have a new Sect Master!”
The Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect was nearly driven to death by anger!
What kind of people were they?!
“By the way, it's certain now—Lu Ming is indeed the one who will save our Qingshan Sect!” the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect said seriously.
Because he had realized that both times the Heavenly Dao had tried to wake up, it was because of Lu Ming.
Once when he killed someone, and once when he killed an immortal artifact.
Although he didn't know the connection between that person and the immortal artifact, there was no doubt about it!
After all, when Lu Ming killed other people, he didn't get struck by lightning.
Even though he had blocked tribulation lightning for Lu Ming before, he had never understood why.
Was it really necessary to summon lightning over just killing a person?
Now he was absolutely certain that the people or things Lu Ming killed definitely had some sort of issue!
“Understood. The Grand Elder has long suspected Lu Ming, but we just didn't have proof!”
Hearing Huo Furong's reply, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect nodded.
“You guys still need to hurry up and rescue me from here!”
“Got it, got it! Rest easy!”
Ending his communication with Huo Furong, the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect cautiously moved to the side and began to comprehend these rules!
Since he was staying here in constant terror and almost getting scared to death, he couldn't let his suffering go to waste!
He had to claim some benefits for himself!
...
Ancient God Clan's base
The ancestor of the Ancient God Clan opened his eyes, his gaze dazed.
He was the once-again reborn Ye Fan. This time, he had been reborn as the ancestor of the Ancient God Clan, Ye Fan! A Half-Immortal in cultivation.
However, this body's brain wasn't very bright, making him a bit of a fool, but his cultivation talent was extremely high.
He had cultivated all the way to the peak Half-Immortal realm, becoming the ancestor of the Ancient God Clan.
As for how he died... it seemed that during his cultivation, he had suddenly suffered a qi deviation and kicked the bucket!
Ye Fan didn't care about how he had died anymore.
Wasn't it all just the Heavenly Dao of this world wanting him to die a certain way, so he had to die that way?
It was all just to make room for him!
Meanwhile, as to why the Half-Immortals of this world didn't ascend, Ye Fan had a vague idea based on his predecessor's memories.
It seemed they simply weren't willing to ascend. As for why, his predecessor was a fool and didn't know either.
The clan had simply told him not to ascend, so he didn't!
Ye Fan scoffed at this. He didn't care at all why they didn't ascend!
In any case, once he got his revenge, he would immediately ascend to the Immortal Realm!
He didn't want to stay in this heartbroken place that had caused his death so many times!
At this thought, Ye Fan sent a divine sense transmission to Chu Feng, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan. “Chu Feng, come here for a moment!”
A moment later, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan arrived at Ye Fan's side, filled with confusion.
He didn't understand what his silly ancestor wanted with him.
“Ancestor Ye, may I ask what you need from me?”
Although the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan knew his ancestor's brain didn't work very well, he still had to show the proper respect. After all, the ancestor was incredibly powerful!
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, turned to look at him, and got straight to the point: “Baili Mo is dead!”
“What?”
Hearing Ye Fan say that Baili Mo was dead, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Has our silly ancestor gone mad? Well...
Our silly ancestor has always been a bit crazy!
Remembering his ancestor's condition, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan quickly stabilized his emotions and asked with a face full of smiles, “Ancestor, how do you know that?”
He merely assumed his silly ancestor was talking nonsense!
“I just know. Not only is Baili Mo dead, but Huangpu Tao of the Ancient Imperial Clan is also dead, and Zhuo Yuan of the Ancient Demon Clan is dead as well...”
Ye Fan listed all the deceased members of the ancient clans.
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan nodded repeatedly. His silly ancestor was describing this with such detail and conviction.
Anyone who didn't know better would think it was actually true!
Although he thought this in his heart, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan didn't show it on his face.
With a turn of his mind, he felt he should play along with his silly ancestor.
Immediately, his expression shifted, and he said with a look of deep grief, “Ancestor Ye, is what you say true?”
Ye Fan nodded. “Why would I lie to you?”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan nodded again. “Then is Man Yu of the Ancient Barbarian Clan dead?”
Ye Fan blanked. Who was Man Yu? He didn't know her!
But she was probably from the Ancient Barbarian Clan!
“No!” Ye Fan shook his head.
“What about Man Xiong?” the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan continued to ask.
Ye Fan shook his head again. Although he recognized this name, that person wasn't dead either. “No!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan muttered in his heart, Ancestor really does have a problem in the head!
People from so many ancient powers have died!
Yet not a single person from the Barbarian Clan died. Is that reasonable?
Don't tell me Ancestor wants to say the Ancient Barbarian Clan killed these people?
“Ancestor, who killed Baili Mo and the others? We must avenge them!” the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan asked, feigning anger.
“Lu Ming of the Qingshan Sect!” Ye Fan said coldly!
The fists hidden in his sleeves clenched until they creaked!
This time, he had power, he had people, and he was even an ancestor!
He didn't want any schemes, any methods, or any undercover agents!
He wanted direct, overwhelming suppression!
Kill him! He had to kill him!
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan's lips twitched slightly. Oh my... our silly ancestor is really good at spinning tales, even bringing up the Qingshan Sect!
They not only disbanded their sect but have also been in seclusion for so many years!
Why would they kill Baili Mo and the others out of the blue?
Even if they were to kill someone, they would kill people like us!
Sigh... Ancestor's brain is getting more and more muddled!
