Chapter 1197

As a Heaven Dao Saint, Master Yuanshi knew full well that the Earth Dao's power could not leave Gai Jiuyou because of Heaven Dao's blockade.

Even Master Taishang had no objections to Heaven Dao's blockade of the Earth Dao.

They were Heaven Dao Saints—Heaven Dao's strength was their strength.

Six Saints in the Primordial World were enough; none of them wished for the Earth Dao to grow stronger and grant more Earth Dao Saint positions to compete with them.

Moreover, even if they wanted to stop it, they could not.

The so-called Heaven Dao Saints were merely puppets of Heaven Dao.

How could mere puppets interfere with Heaven Dao's actions?

Under Heaven Dao's blockade, the Earth Dao had long remained cowering within Gai Jiuyou.

Since Wushuyuan Society, the Earth Dao's power had increased slightly, but only by a negligible amount.

In the eyes of Master Taishang and others, barring unforeseen events, the Earth Dao would likely remain permanently sealed within Gai Jiuyou by Heaven Dao.

Yet they never imagined that the Earth Dao had quietly grown immensely powerful and then shattered Heaven Dao's blockade, delivering a surprise betrayal.

If the Earth Dao could break Heaven Dao's blockade on its own, it would have done so long ago and reclaimed its rightful dominion over the earth.

Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—these three Dao were fundamentally the same.

Heaven Dao could at most blockade the Earth Dao; it could not erase it entirely.

Even if the Earth Dao broke through Heaven Dao's blockade, Heaven Dao could do nothing to it—its only option was to expend all its strength and reseal the Earth Dao back into Gai Jiuyou.

Thus, for the Earth Dao, breaking Heaven Dao's blockade brought no harm, only great benefit.

Under normal circumstances, if the Earth Dao could break Heaven Dao's blockade, it would have done so immediately.

Judging by the power the Earth Dao had revealed, breaking Heaven Dao's blockade was more than sufficient.

Moreover, even if Heaven Dao reacted and expended all its strength, it would be hard to drive the Earth Dao back into Gai Jiuyou.

Clearly, the Earth Dao's accumulated power was extremely strong.

It had the ability to break Heaven Dao's blockade but chose not to—until now, when it delivered a betrayal.

Clearly, Luo Fu was manipulating the Earth Dao from behind.

Pingxin Niangniang, master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, could exert some control over the Earth Dao.

Master Yuanshi was not surprised that Luo Fu could manipulate the Earth Dao.

After all, Pingxin Niangniang stood on Luo Fu's side.

What truly surprised Master Yuanshi was when the Earth Dao had become so powerful.

Clearly, the Earth Dao's strengthening was not due to Pingxin Niangniang.

If Pingxin Niangniang had the power to make the Earth Dao this strong, the Earth Dao would have broken out of Gai Jiuyou long ago.

Since it was not Pingxin Niangniang, only one possibility remained: Luo Fu.

Aside from Pingxin Niangniang, only Luo Fu had the potential to make the Earth Dao suddenly grow strong.

Compared to Pingxin Niangniang, Luo Fu's likelihood was greater, for Luo Fu was a Heaven Dao-level powerhouse.

Yet Master Yuanshi could not fathom how Luo Fu had achieved it.

The Earth Dao was fundamentally equal in rank to Heaven Dao and intrinsically tied to the Primordial World; strengthening the Earth Dao was no easy matter.
