I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 4251: Chapter 1990: Loss of Will

"The world has changed..."

Elder Wuyue whispered softly, lifting his hand as if to touch the most magnificent treasure in the world.

Looking up, streams of purple light cascaded down from the sky, bringing with them specks of starlight, resplendent and beautiful.

Regardless of self-awareness, at this moment, just standing there witnessing the scene, the epiphany of the Great Path surged like a tide.

Various enlightenments came rushing in.

Those "fetters" from the past, once felt obscure, now were as clear as day, revealing true knowledge without much thought.

This was from the outside in.

Of course, it couldn’t lack the past efforts from the inside out.

It was like a bottle filled with water where the space inside was originally limited.

To continue filling it with water, one had to continually compress the water, raising its quality and concentration, even evolving into another higher-level form.

And now, the body’s vessel suddenly expanded.

With the bottleneck eased, the power that had been compressed found itself releasing in a new profound way.

The Shengshen Continent was the bottle, and the Order of the Great Path was the water.

The cultivators in the five regions were the bottles, and their perception of the Great Path was the water.

When Kui Leihan sacrificed himself, and the Ancestral Divine Net was constructed, infusing path energy throughout the world, both world and man underwent a qualitative transformation.

The weak had a weaker perception of the Great Path and thus weaker improvement.

Those who had been stuck at the pinnacle of the bottle, suppressed for an unknown amount of time, experienced a massive improvement.

Not only Elder Wuyue, but also Wen Ting at the Burial Sword Tomb and You Tu lingering at the edges of the Western Desert, all felt it strongly.

If the sword opened the profound under such circumstances, not only would it not be difficult to glimpse the true meaning of the Way of the Sword, but there’s more to gain than anticipated.

These insights were just the perceptions ancient swordsmen obtained within a short time, beyond their usual way and the thunder attribute.

The Five Domains Refining Spirit Masters, those surviving old demi-saints, almost all glimpsed the path to advancement, their thoughts stirring.

After all, refining the thunder attribute originally belonged to the Holy Path, and it was more closely related to the Five Domains Refining Spirit Masters, so naturally the Spiritual Cultivators benefited the most.

And those who had developed Penetrating Divine Senses experienced an even greater qualitative leap.

As time passed and the Ancestral Divine Net significantly elevated the level of the Five Domains Dao Technique, there was no need to comprehend; the epiphanies of the Great Path poured in abundantly and automatically.

Even Xu Xiaoshou, who was in the Apricot Realm only connected to the Shengshen Continent through a clone, felt it distinctly:

"I’ve become stronger!"

No longer was it just a thought away to summon his own saint calamity, emperor’s tribulation, or ancestor tribulation.

Rather, he had to deliberately restrain the forces he mastered, severing the sensing with Heaven and Earth’s Dao Methods to prevent the Ancestor God Destruction tribulation from descending so soon.

Even so...

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Thunder rumbled above the Apricot Realm.

Not only his own, but those of many Apricot Realm citizens.

Fortunately, the Shengshen Continent experienced the same, resonating with thunder calamitous songs all over, making his own calamity less noticeable.

"Kui Leihan, sacrificed just like that?"

Decisively and terrifyingly, so fast that there was no time to react, let alone grief.

However, if it were in the hands of the Demon Ancestor, perhaps only such determination could achieve anything?

Yet ultimately, it seemed not for his own good, but for the later practitioners of thunder attribute and Penetrating Divine Senses.

Or perhaps, paving the way for Cao Erzhu!

Xu Xiaoshou came to his senses, realizing that regardless of the process, at least within this short time, the Demon Ancestor’s goal had been achieved.

The Divine and Cao Yihan, eliminated in succession.

These two, with the essence and combat strength of Ancestral Gods, were the major players causing the most harm to the Demon and Medicine Ancestors, and yet they were taken out effortlessly.

Who else remains available for use?

The Way of Spiritual Cultivation practitioners are basically not to be considered.

Even Kui Leihan ended like this after sealing an ancestor, those demi-saints and Holy Emperors could not even be accounted as cannon fodder.

A different path must be taken.

Yet the practitioners of lesser ways seem impotent, perhaps only within the Ancient Sword Cultivation Circle is there hope to look again.

Considering all, it seems among the Seven Sword Deities and the Ten High Nobles, only the unremarkable dual-talent Elder Wuyue remains unnoticed.

This Old Gou hides even better than I do?

But Xu Xiaoshou was unsure whether Elder Wuyue had anything up his sleeve or if he would stand on his side.

Wen Ting at the Burial Sword Tomb, what level might he be?

Elder You Tu can be found, lurking on the edge of the Western Region, but can the Seven Swords of the Moving Heavens behead the Demon Ancestor?

It seems improbable.

Looking at it, to tease out the Demon Ancestor’s trump card, only these three might make a few moves.

The rest, relies merely on myself?

It seems we’ve finally awaited the last moment.

Yet Xu Xiaoshou no longer makes reckless breakthroughs, indeed from the earlier "ascent," being moved back by the Hallmaster Dao, he resolved:

Not much longer can he hide.

But as long as he can hide, he will, at least to see what more means the Demon Ancestor has to show.

...

"It seems some accident happened?"

In the sword tower, the Name Ancestor emerged from the natal essence mother coffin, finally standing beside Zi Chong outside, gazing into the void.

He was indifferent, as if everything occurring in the Shengshen Continent was irrelevant to him, all part of the final arrangement.

Whether it was the Divine’s sacrifice, Kui Leihan’s offering, or Lei Xi’er’s stubborn struggle outside the sword tower, ultimately could only descend heavily to the earth.
