Chapter 182

During the Era of the Investiture of the Gods, others were merely children squabbling, yet Yu Qing, no less, immediately borrowed his Resurrect Pangu Banner for his disciples; not only that, fearing it might not be safe enough, he even borrowed the Taiji Diagram.

Is that it?

No, no, no, he even went to find Jieyin and Zhunti; one can see just how steady Yu Qing truly is.

"Everyone has their own choice; how you choose is none of my concern. I shall only expound the Dao; the rest, follow your own heart."

Li Mo spoke slowly.

"Yes, thank you, Venerable One, for your understanding."

Yu Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly said.

What could he do? He was also desperate; being steady is a habit, and even if he wanted to change, it would take time, wouldn't it?

"Tell your thoughts to me."

Li Mo said slowly.

"Yes."

Yu Qing responded, then carefully began to voice his thoughts.

"Forging the Dao Fruit into a magic treasure; if this were another path, it might be impossible, but the Path of Artifacts is different. My Dao Fruit is already composed of the Path of Artifacts; I am the core of the Path of Artifacts, and also its manifestation."

"If one wishes to use the Dao Fruit as a magic treasure, the Path of Artifacts is the most suitable and easiest to forge, even effortless."

"The only risk lies in the fact that refining the Dao Fruit into a magic treasure will completely alter the essence of the Dao Fruit; if one wishes to improve later, one must constantly strengthen the Dao Fruit, using the Great Dao as material and realization as divine fire to temper and empower the Dao Fruit."

After weighing his words, Yu Qing spoke.

"Correct."

"If one uses the Dao Fruit as an artifact and nurtures a spirit within it, one will possess a Great Dao Spirit belonging to oneself."

"It can cultivate on its own, realize on its own, and cooperate with you."

727

"And for this, there is also a shortcut one can take."

"All magic treasures in the world are different; if so, you can have the artifact spirit refine the Dao patterns from other magic treasures, realize the mysteries of other magic treasures, and gather the Three Thousand Great Daos into your Dao Fruit."

"The artifact is the master, the Three Thousand Great Daos are the assistants, thereby constructing the Supreme Path of Artifacts."

"If the Path of Artifacts is achieved, it can reflect upon all heavens; all who cultivate the Path of Artifacts will be under your karmic connection; with a wave of your hand, you can manifest supreme divine objects and borrow the power of artifacts from all heavens."

"Not only that, if you become the Path of Artifacts, all who teach you the Path of Artifacts will not only be your disciples but also appendages of your Path of Artifacts; you can realize their Path of Artifacts, digest their mysteries, gather all derivatives of artifacts, and thereby establish the supreme foundation."

With a cold and calm expression, Li Mo spoke slowly, his voice seeming to contain supreme mysteries, echoing throughout the entire Creation Grotto-Heaven.

In an instant, a strange fragrance rose, manifesting a Jin Lian; it seemed as though Dao marks were densely spread, as if mysterious sounds echoed, deep and profound, wonderful beyond words.

"Is this the complete Supreme Path of Artifacts?"

Yu Qing's face went blank, and he sucked in a sharp breath.

Using the Path of Artifacts as the master, constructing the Three Thousand Great Daos beneath it?

If it is supreme, reflecting the Path of Artifacts across all heavens?

Do all objects have a karmic connection with him and are all under his control?

Creating supreme divine objects is effortless?

Moreover, if he walks the Supreme Path of Artifacts, will all his disciples be under the reflection of his Path of Artifacts, allowing him to gain realization from them all?

Hiss

Too terrifying, too incredible, making Yu Qing's scalp tingle.

Too small, too small, the scope is too narrow!

Damn it, if the Path of Artifacts is this awesome, why would he need to hesitate for a second?

Danger?

Damn danger!

He! Yu Qing! Fearless! Who else but me!

If I do not enter the Supreme Dao, who will?

The Supreme Dao!

This is the Supreme Dao! A Supreme Dao terrifying beyond imagination!

"Thank you, Venerable One, for bestowing this method; Yu Qing is infinitely grateful and pledges to repay this grace for eternity!"

With surging emotions, Yu Qing knelt solemnly on one knee and shouted earnestly.

"Tai Qing, it is your turn."

Li Mo nodded slightly, then looked toward Shang Qing.

Only Shang Qing remains!

"Tai Qing greets the Venerable One; I implore the Venerable One to guide me and help me step onto the Gao Zhilu."

Tai Qing, who had been waiting with bated breath, was instantly energized upon hearing this; he quickly walked to Li Mo's side, bowed deeply, and shouted loudly.

No sorrow, no joy?

Calm and indifferent?

Like an immortal elder?

Gone.

All gone.

If not for his appearance as an old man with Bai Fa, anyone seeing Tai Qing might mistake him for a child.

"Your Dao is special; therefore, although there is a Gao Zhilu, it is not easy to walk. If one must speak truly, if you walk the Gao Zhilu, it will indeed be as Yu Qing said, fraught with extreme peril."

After a brief pause, Li Mo glanced at Tai Qing and said slowly.

"???"

Taiqing's expression froze; he was completely numb.

No, both my younger brothers are rock-solid stable, so why did Gao Zhilu become so perilous the moment I left?

Does this sound like everything could fall apart if things go even slightly wrong?

"Venerable One, I cultivate the Dao of Alchemy; if this is the Supreme Path, it shouldn't be so perilous, right? Is there something I do not know about this?"

Taiqing asked cautiously.

"You have also read Honghuang-flow novels; let me ask you, in Honghuang novels, if your name is mentioned, what four-character description appears most often?"

Li Mo answered something unrelated to the question.

"The four-character description that appears most often?"

Taiqing frowned slightly, somewhat confused, and began to think.

At this moment, Shangqing, who was standing nearby comprehending and deducing the Dao of the Supreme Sword Array, opened his eyes and blurted out: "Tai Shang Wang Qing!"

"Correct, it is indeed Tai Shang Wang Qing; do you understand now?"

Li Mo nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

"Tai Shang Wang Qing? Tai Shang... Wang Qing?"

After murmuring it once, Taiqing's body shuddered; he whispered, having vaguely guessed something.

"You cultivate the Dao of Alchemy, but you may not have realized it yourself; although the Dao of Alchemy is primary, you possess a Dao that fits you even better, and you have been cultivating it subconsciously."

"It is a branch of the Great Dao of Emotions: the Small Dao of Ruthlessness."

"Even if you reach the Supreme via the Dao of Alchemy, under the influence of the Small Dao of Ruthlessness you will eventually deviate; therefore, the Dao of Alchemy is not the key; the Dao of Ruthlessness is."

Li Mo said calmly.

"A branch of the Great Dao of Emotions? The Small Dao of Ruthlessness?"

"Does Big Brother have such a thing?"

Yuqing and Shangqing had both opened their eyes; the two opened their mouths, their faces blank, their eyes seemingly filled with great shock.

Let alone them, even Taiqing himself was like this; his body had stiffened, his head was buzzing as if ringing, and he was already beginning to doubt life itself.

"I seem to understand."

"Big Brother truly is like this!"

"Although Honghuang novels are not real, they can still serve as reference."

"According to many Honghuang novels, during the Great Calamity of Investiture of the Gods, you and Second Brother were irreconcilable, yet Big Brother not only did not stop it but instead watched with cold eyes, even personally entering the fray."

"This is completely unlike Big Brother's nature; the only reason he would do this is probably one...... he has no emotions, only profit!"

"Without the seven emotions and six desires, there is only profit."

"Big Brother was the first of us three brothers to be born; he has always cared greatly for me and Second Brother, but now, after more than one Yanci, thinking carefully, Big Brother's emotions have indeed become increasingly indifferent."

Shangqing said with ringing strength.
