Master of Strange Dao

It was unknown whether they were friend or foe, so preparation could only be made as though they were enemies.

For cultivators in the Primordial Spirit Realm who suffered severe soul injuries, there were indeed many ways to recover. However, most normal methods required highly valuable and extremely rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, as well as sufficient time for slow cultivation and recovery.

There were also abnormal, taboo methods that did not require Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Among them, there was an Evil Dao method whose effect was not inferior to replenishing and cultivating with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It used a Dao cultivator's Divine Soul as a catalyst, their Dao as a medicinal base, and the Yang God of a Refining God cultivator as Jade Liquid to refine a treasure pill for nurturing and repairing the Primordial Spirit.

The effect might be even better, and the time required for nurturing and repairing might not need several decades or a century.

Because such a thing did indeed happen before.

Song Chengyue cheerfully returned to the Jinyi Wei government office.

It had to be said, leveraging the power of the Langya Institute was indeed useful.

These guys were experts at finding nominal reasons, and coupled with their strength, it became even easier.

Taking the unidentified Primordial Spirit Realm Strong as a starting point, let the people of the Langya Institute take action.

Because the people of the Langya Institute really couldn't take such a risk, they would inevitably, at the first moment, find that Primordial Spirit Realm Strong.

An unidentified person with a severely injured Primordial Spirit—those two reasons were sufficient.

Song Chengyue added another reason, moving towards the direction of the Imperial City.

He didn't believe the people of the Langya Institute wouldn't be anxious.

They would definitely dig out this person, and if necessary, even use the Ninth Tier Strong from the Langya Institute.

Even if it was eventually proven that the person wasn't of the Evil Dao, the Langya Institute would supplement a piece of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to help the other party recover.

What they did would then be seen as goodwill.

Though not spoken openly, ever since a similar incident occurred previously, it had been tacitly acknowledged by everyone that an unidentified individual with a compromised Primordial Spirit, still in hiding, was indeed of the Evil Dao and Primordial Spirit Realm.

Song Chengyue didn't care about the person's life or death; he merely wanted the people from the Langya Institute to uncover the individual's identity after bringing him out.

Using him as a starting point, they could openly investigate the forces behind him.

No matter which force it was or how deeply hidden they were, there had to be something on the surface: either a large business firm or a sect. There had to be something on the surface.

Otherwise, when developed and grown to a certain level, and everything remained hidden, it could not develop or grow, and it would draw more attention.

As long as there was something on the surface, Song Chengyue dared to rush in like a mad dog.

...

In a dimly lit secret chamber, a black-robed man sat quietly.

His aura was dim and indistinct, with occasional flashes of Primordial Spirit power, and the Golden Liquid of the Primordial Spirit uncontrollably seeped out.

Across from him, an old man sat with a cold expression.

"You were too careless, discovered by the Jinyi Wei people.

Song Chengyue even swaggered in to notify the Langya Institute.

The Langya Institute couldn't possibly let an unidentified, hidden, and severely injured Primordial Spirit Realm Strong stay hidden within the Daqian territory.

With past precedent, they would spare no effort to dig you out."

"What am I supposed to do?" the Black Robed Man gritted his teeth, speaking while suppressing pain.

"My Primordial Spirit was directly torn apart!

I don't even know what happened; my incarnation died, yet inexplicably provoked an incredibly terrifying strong figure.

In just an instant, a moment!

He almost crushed me on the spot, like crushing an ant; do you understand?

At least Tenth Tier, no, at least Tenth Tier Peak power!

You only told me that it was a sealing in Dadui, a 'God' being sealed inside that you wanted to extract.

Don't tell me that the once-vanished Dadui had the capability to seal such a terrifying being who almost crushed me in an instant.

And don't tell me that my incarnation died at the hands of that thing's 'God', and that what I encountered before was also him."

The person opposite remained silent, a hint of horror in his eyes.

"You are right; Dadui indeed doesn't have such a capability.

There is absolutely no way that kind of existence could be in that seal.

However, the records about Dadui are truly scarce; I don't even know why.

It was already incredibly difficult to find that Sealing Land.

You should think, did your incarnation provoke some dreadful being, allowing him to discover it was an incarnation?"

"The Incarnation Technique was provided by you, and you once said this Incarnation Technique was the most perfect, impossible to be discovered even in death," the Black Robed Man said in a deep voice.

"..."

The old man remained silent, not knowing how to respond. How could he know the Incarnation Technique could be seen through?

If he had known, he would naturally have modified it to be more refined, more perfect.

But in his eyes, that Incarnation Technique had already been improved to the point of perfection, without flaws.

Regardless of peeping or probing, even if traced from birth, it was without a flaw.

He couldn't imagine where the defect was.

"I will send people to investigate that Abyss again, but you cannot continue to stay in Daqian."

"If I don't stay in Daqian, where do you think I can go? If I don't recover soon, my Primordial Spirit will shatter."

"You absolutely cannot show yourself in Daqian, nor in front of the Langya Institute. I will find appropriate Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for you; whether you go to Dali, Dazhen, or even go to sea, you just cannot stay in Daqian."
