I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 3893: Chapter 1868: Unfathomable

"Name?"

Beyond the rift in the Time Realm, atop the phantom crown of the ancient japonicum, a hesitant voice emanates from that indistinct human face.

For the word unexpectedly uttered by the Demon Ancestor, the Medicine Ancestor’s first reaction is that it wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed on the surface.

The battle situation on Lingyu Mountain, the Third Ancestor sees all.

Even though the Time Realm Rift and Central Region are more than a hundred thousand miles apart, the three of them have not yet fully infiltrated the Shengshen Continent.

Yet each has their own means, each can focus on the frontline battlefield.

"Indeed, name..."

Inside the coffin beneath the tower, the voice of the Demon Ancestor is equally strange.

Earlier, upon seeing Xu Xiaoshou on the river of time, he thought that the name, having passed through various phases over the generations, should have landed on that young man.

Unexpectedly, Bazhun’an’s sword cognition advanced further, he also borrowed the name and used it so skillfully.

Judging by this alone, if speaking of mastery in the Way of Name, Bazhun’an seems to surpass Xu?

"Mistaken judgment?"

The Demon Ancestor rarely doubts himself.

But according to his one-time direct encounter in battle with Xu Xiaoshou, when Yuegong Qi intervened from afar.

That young man undoubtedly understood name "to some extent," nothing like "perfection."

So, the opportunity of name is not with Xu Xiaoshou, but with Bazhun’an?

Xu Xiaoshou previously sought publicity and fame in the five regions, was it merely Bazhun’an bluffing to divert many Gods’ early attention from his cultivation name?

If that’s the case...

The Demon Ancestor truly regarded Bazhun’an highly, for he succeeded!

"Name?"

The Medicine Ancestor waited for a while, yet no one replied to him, "What name?"

A soft laugh emerged from the coffin beneath the tower: "Shen Nong, shutting yourself away won’t let you glimpse the true essence of the Great Path."

With these words, the leaves of the phantom crown of the ancient japonicum rustled, mocking: "You all see the mountain as soon as you open the door, but has this mountain ever been crossed?"

Suddenly, the starry sky fell into silence.

The Demon Ancestor was at a loss for words.

Indeed, the Medicine Ancestor isolates himself studying the Life Path, paying little attention to external affairs.

Is his path merely a minor path?

In myriad worlds, all living beings with spiritual quality can be called "life."

The Life Path is the supreme Great Path!

And as the Medicine Ancestor mentioned, regardless of the Demon Ancestor, Cursed Yin, they opened many doors collecting various paths, but till now, they have completed only two-in-one.

Two-in-one, return to zero, an endless journey.

In between, who can be certain that the Medicine Ancestor won’t suddenly gain insight, accelerating his completion of two-in-one, directly finishing the return to zero path?

Ancestral Gods are not to be underestimated!

The Demon Ancestor thus spoke, proactively explaining a thing or two:

"Great Thousand, full of wonders; the Great Path manifests everywhere."

"Even in Shengshen Continent alone, evolving over many eras, it can produce the Ten Ancestors’ Path, a place of exceptional spiritual wealth."

"And in other planes, despite lower Dao and Method, there are chosen ones altering fate, crowning supreme extreme."

Supreme Extreme...

The Medicine Ancestor silently murmured, feeling a bit peculiar.

Even while shutting himself away, he has heard of this term.

The Demon Ancestor continued: "In this plane, Godhood-sealing and Ancestor titles, in other places, supreme upper extreme, the two can be equated."

"And the so-called ’name’—I often fish in the river of time, occasionally hearing, among other-worldly supreme extremes, such titles similar to you and me."

This made the Medicine Ancestor nod his head, indicating understanding.

There exists such a "Name Ancestor," attaining the Path beyond Shengshen Continent’s plane, also Godhood-sealing and Ancestor titled... oh, there they call it:

Supreme Upper Extreme!

"So what?"

Finally, the japonicum rustled, and the Medicine Ancestor coldly chuckled:

"Earlier viewed in the river of time, this world has already become the place beneath the Heavenly Realm with the most complete Dao and Method, or why would this ancestor bother studying ’life’ here?"

"The so-called ’Name Ancestor,’ briefly crowned supreme extreme, yet has no place in the Heavenly Realm, inevitably destined to decline, whether past or future!"

The Medicine Ancestor spoke with conviction, from a deepest and absolute confidence.

He has been to the Heavenly Realm.

The collapse of the Heavenly Realm has his contribution too.

Those inside know who can claim to be the supreme extreme way, and as for the Ancestral Gods emerging from savage lands...

Name Ancestor?

Just useless.

Way of Name?

Nothing but the path of the useless.

The Demon Ancestor and Cursed Yin think it’s a stone from another mountain worth learning from, but the Medicine Ancestor has always been steadfast in his own path, unmoved by external things.

He is extremely dismissive, not only towards the two ancestors but also towards the Name Ancestor.

Yet the final few sarcastic remarks he refrained from saying aloud—why is life called a path? Because miracles reside within it!

To say it out loud, and if proven wrong, would be disgraceful!

The Demon Ancestor naturally understands the Medicine Ancestor’s temperament, a secluded cultivator is inherently eccentric.

And indeed, as the Medicine Ancestor declares, name has truly declined, this the Demon Ancestor is sure of.

His gaze pierces through restrictions, landing on the distant fuzzy lake view of Lingyu Mountain, falling upon that person:

"Remote wild lands breed no geniuses, yet occasionally produce prodigies."

Pausing, having long considered Xu Xiaoshou a sure catch, now realizing the treasured mistake was on another, he candidly spoke to the two ancestors of the starry sky:

"Earlier, I thought after the Way of Name declined, the opportunity fell to Xu Xiaoshou, even meeting him once on the river of time and chatting briefly."

"Now it seems, perhaps the name should be with Bazhun’an, what do you two think?"

He spoke of "two," yet the message directly pointed to Cursed Yin.

The Medicine Ancestor is inward-focused, studying life, oblivious to the outside world, everyone knows.

The Cursed Yin Dao, like him, is outward-focused.

Even while the Demon Ancestor fished in the time river, in those moments of Cursed Yin’s decline, he occasionally saw incarnations of the old fishing companion.
