Chapter 3692: Chapter 1794: No Trace_2
How could Yue Gongli not see through that the Ancestor Stone Carving wasn’t actually the Ancestor Stone Carving, but Hua Zhiyao, who had just been punished and confined, soon to be executed?
What was even more outrageous...
The Ancestor Stone Carving could even grow a hand to slap Yue Gongli, and Yue Gongli took the slap without resistance?
The absurdity of this event completely redefined the meaning of "absurd", to the point that Hua Changdeng was at a loss for what to say.
He only heard the "Xu Xiaoshou" on the other side still pretending:
"Family head, I’m really not Xu Xiaoshou, I am Hua Zhixiao. I am right here at the Yun Mountain Temple, come see for yourself!"
"Young Master Li is also here; he personally came over and brought back the Ancestor Stone Carving. The Space Retrospection scenes from the Cold Palace guest hall, and the slapping—it’s all real... ah!"
The clan elder said, as if about to break down himself, he shouted and then calmed down:
"Family head, I know it’s hard to accept this quickly, I myself still haven’t accepted it."
"Young Master Li is also very regretful now, for not seeing through it immediately, but he is ’full of sincerity’."
He emphasized the last four words, then continued:
"He came with the attitude to resolve the matter."
"He also wants to provide some intelligence about Xu Xiaoshou. In short, he says the truth will come out when you return, and it’s all a misunderstanding."
Is the crack on the Ancestor Stone Carving also a misunderstanding, can it be restored?
Hua Changdeng was already furious, the more he listened, the more enraged he became, to the point where he even wanted to cut down Yue Gongli.
"Let Yue Gongli speak."
There was a pause on the other side, then a charming voice with a slightly embarrassed tone came over: "Hua Changdeng, this is Yue Gongli..."
"Xu Xiaoshou, is it fun?"
...
Fun!
So much fun!
Bizarre magic, yet truly a divine skill.
The Cold Palace Emperor Realm, Tingyu Pavilion, Xu Xiaoshou molded Jin Ren’s conscious form into the appearance of Yue Gongli, and brazenly arrived at this place.
You can imagine, under his deliberate downplay of "Ancestor Stone Carving", "Hua Zhiyao", and such real existence through indirect guidance.
How shattered Yue Gongli’s heart must have been when he was pushed to the brink and smashed the Yunshan Clan stone stele with one sword.
Actually, no need to imagine.
After twisting Yunshan’s Ancestor Stone Carving into the image of Hua Zhiyao with bizarre magic, Xu Xiaoshou also twisted a wisp of Jin Ren’s intent into Hua Zhiyao’s aura, melding it in.
Everything that happened in the guest hall was under his guidance.
Perhaps Yue Gongli and Hua Changdeng had no old grudges, but surely new enmity was formed.
Perhaps after mutual understanding, both sides would realize it was all their own meddling, but the indisputable fact is that the Yunshan Ancestor Stone Carving cracked at Yue Gongli’s hands.
In the future, no matter how well Cold Palace and Yun Mountain may get along, with this kind of rift, they will never fully come together.
Not to mention, it’s impossible for these two families to be harmonious.
Yunshan people are not foolish; as long as they insist that the Ancestor Stone Carving was shattered by the Cold Palace successor, Yue Gongli will never gain the upper hand.
If he cannot gain, Cold Palace will not benefit either.
If Cold Palace does not benefit, they will naturally find trouble with Yunshan elsewhere, demanding it back doubled.
The conflict between both sides already existed; this stele incident only deepened it and the conflict will snowball and escalate ever more.
Amicable end?
There is no amicable end to the Struggle for the Great Path.
In the millions of years of aristocratic family struggles, there is no such term.
——But that is all future talk.
The move made casually by Xu Xiaoshou was not to incite Yue Gongli and Hua Changdeng to fight right now, but just a play.
While "Hua Zhiyao" waited in the guest hall, yearning to be cut, he used Jin Ren’s will to contaminate the branding of the Cold Palace Emperor Realm under Dao Qiongcang, to a significant degree.
In this place, as long as he wishes to come, he can come whenever he wants in the future.
"The Path of Will, truly has endless wonder..."
As early as the initial changes in the Ghost Buddha Realm, Xu Xiaoshou had asked Bazhun’an about the matters concerning his nemesis Hua Changdeng.
Back then, Bazhun’an didn’t talk much about Hua Changdeng’s Sword Demon affairs.
But he spoke much about Hua Changdeng’s status.
"Hua Changdeng cultivates the spirit, not the spirit of Spiritual Cultivation, but the spirit of the soul, in which his pursuit can be deemed ’obsessive’."
"Just like ordinary people see the world with their physical eyes, experiencing the world with their ’body’, Hua Changdeng is completely opposite. He sees the world with ’spirit’, leads the body with soul and will."
"Even his perspective on cultivation is different from others. He should exist with a soul body in the world, but to blend in with normal folks, he keeps his physical form daily."
This was what Bazhun’an explained.
Such unique expressions, unique perspectives, immediately stirred a wicked thought in Xu Xiaoshou then.
Hua Changdeng must have Super Taoization in the Spirit Dao Disc, undoubtedly.
Among Body, Spirit, and Will Three Paths, where ordinary people primarily use the body or will, he uses Spirit as his primary over body and will, truly special.
This led Xu Xiaoshou to think whether he has also been restricted by conventional thought.
His Body, Spirit, and Will Three Paths, are all super Taoized.
While he primarily uses his body, transforming into Hua Changdeng’s doing where spirit dominates body, or even the most special form of will dominating body and spirit, may all be possible?
Think it, do it.
The transformation of thinking brought about changes in status.
In just a few attempts, Xu Xiaoshou, who was already super Taoized in Body, Spirit, and Will Three Paths, quickly completed the practice and found everything feasible.
Thus, half a year later.
When the Ghost Buddha Realm mutated to its extreme, manifesting Hua Changdeng’s will, Xu Xiaoshou had an idea:
"The essence of Soul Reading is through the contact of souls, using one’s self intent to deeply experience the other’s memories in past spacetime."
"As an entity, there are restrictions, making it difficult to transcend spacetime, yet intent is void, different in nature, effortlessly traversing spacetime."
