Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1743: Chapter 470: The Complete True Name, Nirvana Treasure Skill

After all, he used to be one of my subordinates.

Really, so oblivious, wasting such a good opportunity for nothing.

Yu Ziqing hesitated, thinking, this kind of opportunity, even a brainless fool probably wouldn’t want it.

Tell me all the names of other deities that you know.

After the Yang-destroying Devil went through all the names he knew, Yu Ziqing compared them with his own knowledge, forming a general scope.

He bowed with his hands together.

Alright, I’ll be on my way, you continue with what you’re doing.

Stepping out of the small temple of the Yang-destroying Devil, just a step away, the sounds from outside suddenly appeared.

Every sound was filled with life, even somewhat overly noisy.

Everything in sight was as if over-saturated, the colors exceedingly vivid.

Yet more than that, there was a sense of being reborn, boiling in his heart, making him greedily enjoy everything around, even the faint stench wafting from the street corner carried a lively fragrance.

Yu Ziqing’s mind was deeply impacted, this uncontrollable violent emotional upheaval was indeed too intense.

He glanced back at the small temple, on the surface, it still looked as it always did.

He understood that the Yang-destroying Devil was moving farther away, the place where he was, with his insights, had vaguely turned into the embryo of a domain.

There was only pure death, void, solitude, without the stench or noise.

That feeling was far more intense than when Yu Ziqing once stepped into the world of the dead.

There’s a chance the Yang-destroying Devil might really walk such a path, rather than linger outside, touching the threshold.

Yu Ziqing turned away from the small temple, before leaving, instructing the Riddler here to keep others from entering the temple ever again.

Ordinary people, entering the small temple, would probably begin stepping into death the instant they saw the Yang-destroying Devil’s memorial tablet.

...

At the East Sea, the last members of the Dragon Clan were starting to leave the East Sea, heading toward the Southern Sea.

A few Sea Clan members gave up their foundations in the East Sea, following the Dragon Clan away.

The evil cultivation at the East Sea was targeted by the Dragon Clan and the entire Sea Clan of the East Sea, and it could be said by all living beings of the East Sea.

It’s now almost certain that they’ve all died out.

Ending this wave, the atmosphere of the East Sea became clear, ordinary cultivators were also afraid of being cast into the Evil Dao.

The previously quite chaotic East Sea, filled with a mix of the three teachings and nine schools, has now become much more harmonious.

Murders and treasure plundering incidents have become particularly rare.

In merely a year’s time, the people here seem to have begun speaking of ethics.

Some of the more astute cultivators noticed the Dragon Clan had gone to the Southern Sea, leaving behind all their foundations here, quietly fled, staying far from the East Sea.

With fewer people, the atmosphere of the East Sea naturally improved.

On the coast of the East Sea of Dali, Emperor Li stood by the sea, gazing into the boundless East Sea.

It’s about to begin.

The Dragon Clan has done quite a lot, now the East Sea serves as a massive buffer zone, buying us quite a bit of time.

Behind Emperor Li, the Crown Prince of Dali responded in a deep voice.

We need time, those deep-sea creatures need time too.

For Dali, we can’t afford to wait any longer.

Once I advance, you shall prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

Father, are you going to try now?

It’s been enough.

I’ve successfully cultivated the Nirvana Treasure Skill quite some time ago.

In truth, I’ve never really understood what the true purpose of this treasure skill is.

Until I saw the Old Emperor Zhen who reached the Tenth Tier.

Saw the Old Emperor Qian at the Tenth Tier.

Saw then Emperor Dui.

It was then that I realized, I had greatly underestimated this treasure skill.

This skill was never meant to be used for slaughter or Dao-protection.

Earlier, I had veered off the path.

It’s purely a means to seek the Dao.

All the world’s techniques are reflections of truth.

The journey from the reflection of truth to the nirvana of truth, is the path of cultivation.

At that moment, Old Emperor Qian was like embodying ten thousand techniques, every move could channel them naturally.

It was then, that I finally grasped the ultimate truth.

Now, I will begin transitioning from reflection to truth.

If one hasn’t truly entered the Tenth Tier, hasn’t truly walked the path.

It becomes impossible to confront all that might emerge.

Emperor Li slowly shared his insights, passing them onto the Crown Prince.

Do not fall into my trap, my insights are just my own.

Perhaps I’m not right, perhaps this isn’t the only answer.

Remember, you must find the answer that belongs to you.

Understood.

If I fail, you will ascend immediately, stabilize Dali at any cost.

Moreover, you can also use this as a pretext, like the Dragon Clan, to wipe out the evil cultivation within Dali.

In this era, the potential destruction those evil cultivators might cause has possibly already gone beyond control.

The Crown Prince of Dali saluted with clasped hands, agreeing with a serious expression.

She surely knew, the Dragon Clan blowing the horn and directly migrating wasn’t solely because of evil cultivation.

I shall go now...

Suddenly, crimson flames ignited on Emperor Li, in his eyes, bright flames burned.

His aura was constantly rising, surpassing the Ninth Tier’s limit, rushing towards the Tenth Tier.

In the sky, a fiery cloud stretching for thousands of miles appeared, the sky seemed to be on fire.

The incarnation of Dali’s national destiny transformed into a gigantic Fire Bird, letting out a cry amidst the fiery clouds.

When only a step remained to reach the Tenth Tier.

He suddenly turned his head, looking in the direction of Dadui.

There, he seemed to see a realm of death.

True death.

At that moment, he gained new insights.

He revealed a slight smile, halting at the step just shy of the Tenth Tier.

His body burned within the flames, gradually vanishing into them.

The momentum on the brink of breakthrough to the Tenth Tier suddenly began to plummet, even the extensive skies seemed to catch fire.

Within a few breaths, the clouds dispersed.

The strong aura plummeted all the way down.

Only a flame remained, burning on the spot, the flame pulsating like a beating heart.

Within three zhang, there appeared the true aura of the Tenth Tier.

Uncertain and perplexed, the Crown Prince of Dali was unsure whether her father succeeded or failed.

Resolute in will, she pondered for a moment, then retreated a few steps and withdrew from the three zhang area, bowing to the flame.

With a wave to the sky, she saw the national destiny of Dali begin to embody her, commencing the process of succession.
