Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing tossed a book into the dark pit below.

"Brother, I've brought you some books. When you're bored, you can take a look to relieve your tedium. They are some books from my era, historical records, and various legendary stories. They're quite interesting when you have nothing else to do. As for cultivation-related classics, they are truly too precious. My family is small and unremarkable, so it's impossible to obtain them. And I estimate you wouldn't be interested in those low-level items. As for other classics, many have been passed down since ancient times. I bet you've also read them, and perhaps some of them were even left by you."

Throwing down dozens of thousands of books, Yu Ziqing gave Cece a signal.

The guy with the metal mask was thrown out by Cece.

The wound on his chest had somewhat recovered, but it was just a superficial recovery. His spine had been shattered by a blow from the village chief, making it not so easy to fully heal.

His Qi Sea was pierced, all joints dislocated, and he now lingered in misery, unable to die, just for this moment.

From the last time that giant spoke with the South Qian accent, Yu Ziqing knew that the translator provided to the giant indeed had a significant effect. Without the translation, who knows, the giant might have thought he was being insulted.

Yu Ziqing stared at the man for a few moments, then said regretfully.

"It seems you haven't been here before."

"What do you want to do?" The man felt a bad premonition arising, as ever since Yu Ziqing didn't ask or kill him, he knew for sure that something more terrifying was to follow.

"This is the Abyss, and it's not the first layer of the Abyss. The place where you captured the Yin Family's people is right here."

As the words fell, the man's eyes trembled.

"Oh, it seems you do know about this place. You also know why those people kidnapped the Yin family members. You truly belong to their group. One last question, whose incarnation exactly are you? How do you people perform the Incarnation Skill in a way that it cannot be discerned?"

The person closed his eyes, refusing to speak or express any stance, fearing Yu Ziqing might discover something more.

"Forget it if you won't talk; it doesn't matter. You harmed me, and I will harm you; it's a very normal thing."

Yu Ziqing kicked the man, sending him plunging into the depths of the pit.

Watching the figure disappear into the darkness, Yu Ziqing shouted downward again.

"Brother, the last translator is gone, so I'm providing you with a new one. The words of our era might be different from your era's. I'll give you a Jade Scroll. If this translator is gone too, just crush the Jade Scroll and notify me, and I'll get another one. By the way, I've also prepared some food, various snacks, and fine wine and tea leaves. Brother, feel free to try them."

Yu Ziqing then threw down a large assortment of snacks and treats, all ready to eat.

There were also fresh fruits, preserved dried fruits, a dozen or so kinds of tea leaves, several sets of tea brewing tools, and a bucket of the finest spring water. The spring water inside was enough to last a normal person several years.

Anyhow, there was everything one could need.

These items were nothing rare outside, but down here, for the giant below, they were a unique collection transcending time.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing. I noticed that brother seemed interested in the incarnation. I went to great lengths to capture someone who might be an incarnation. He happens to be my enemy and has harmed me in the past. My skills are limited, and I couldn't tell if he was the incarnation, so please forgive me, brother."

Yu Ziqing squatted by the edge of the pit, shouting into it for a long time.

He said whatever came to mind, for as long as he didn't face the giant, he felt no pressure.

In the endless darkness of the pit, Yu Ziqing's words, like the falling books and wrapped snacks, drifted down.

His words were caught by the giant in the dark. Now that he had learned the official language of the South Qian accent, he naturally understood what Yu Ziqing was saying.

He opened his eyes, a hint of a smile appearing when he heard Yu Ziqing labeling this guy as his enemy and possibly an incarnation.

Yu Ziqing blatantly mentioned dealing with the incarnation, finding it amusing instead.

He was indeed intrigued by the Incarnation Skill of this era since, on the last occasion, without the guy himself mentioning it, he hadn't noticed the man was an incarnation.

His flesh and Divine Soul were complete, not resembling an ordinary incarnation at all.

It wasn't clear how it was done yet, but after personally dissecting one incarnation, he already had a way to make judgments.

A Qi Refining cultivator at the Eighth Tier Incarnation Realm, this incarnation, under normal circumstances, was merely a means for Dao-Protecting and cultivation.

Most of the time, incarnations were created using various treasures, with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures being the best.

For instance, a cultivator specializing in Nanming Lihuo, following a Fire Technique, after reaching the eighth tier, might use a trace of spirituality in One Element Heavy Water or Ten-thousand-year-old Mysterious Ice as the raw material to create an incarnation.

Such an incarnation could practice the Water Element Dharma Method, and the cultivation process of the incarnation could corroborate with the main body. When the incarnation also reached the eighth tier, because of the same root and source, it could reintegrate into the main body, possibly reaching the state of Water and Fire Emerge, greatly enhancing the chance of advancing to the Ninth Tier.

But if only the main body existed, once reaching the Eighth Tier, it would be absolutely impossible to cultivate the Water Element Dharma Method, entering it would result in being forcibly evaporated by Fire Qi.
