Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 154: Giant, You Overestimated Me, Extra Cautious (10.5k)_4



To reach the Realm of Water and Fire Emerge, one must start cultivating both from the very first tier.

However, cultivating both simultaneously can be problematic. To continue cultivation without killing oneself, one needs to reach the Realm of Water and Fire Emerge early on.

Even if one manages to achieve it early, the speed of cultivation will be forcibly slowed. Whether one can continue living and cultivate to the Eighth Tier is a big question.

Therefore, because of many issues, the incarnations in the Incarnation Realm could either be cultivated or not, depending entirely on the individual.

From the beginning until now, the most important use of an incarnation is actually not to cause trouble.

After all, an incarnation itself can be a major flaw. There are ways to use an incarnation against the original being, which is why many Cultivators in the Incarnation Realm do not cultivate an incarnation at all.

The giant was interested in the Incarnation Skill simply because he couldn't tell the person was an incarnation.

By using an incarnation, he could still lock onto the original being and use methods he was aware of.

Watching the person fall, an invisible force locked and immobilized him there.

Despair and fear filled that man's eyes; he now understood why Yu Ziqing had not killed him, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

If there had been another choice, he would rather have told Yu Ziqing everything he knew.

At least by telling Yu Ziqing some things, Yu Ziqing wouldn't have been able to do much.

But now, just by seeing those huge pupils, he felt a natural suppression from the bloodline, from the Divine Soul, as if an ordinary wild beast had encountered Dragon Blood.

He wanted to say something, but now couldn't speak at all. Except for his consciousness, everything in his body was out of his control.

He just watched the books, maneuvered by an invisible force, neatly stacked one by one, all the fallen items as if placed on an invisible shelf.

Following the order Yu Ziqing had categorized, starting from the oldest book, the giant watched carefully.

However, after a couple of glances, he stopped.

Translation was still necessary; he couldn't recognize those characters.

Compared to the past, some characters hadn't changed much, but others were completely unrecognizable.

The man's body drifted over; seeing the contents of the books, he began to read them aloud automatically, and based on his current knowledge, he explained certain words and allusions.

The giant was satisfied; he thought for a moment, then took the Jade Scroll Yu Ziqing had left behind, and felt its contents carefully.

There was an imprint left by Yu Ziqing inside; once broken, Yu Ziqing would immediately sense it. It was simple but very practical.

After much thought, his gaze rested on the Jade Scroll, and a whisper from another world echoed in the darkness.

The translator, upon hearing just one word, rolled his eyes and passed out.

The whispers echoed in the darkness, eventually solidifying into twisted patterns that merged into Yu Ziqing's Jade Scroll.

The next moment, Yu Ziqing, who was still at the edge of the tunnel, had a slight shift in his eyes, as if he heard the strange whispers from another world.

The whispers were faint yet clear. In just a moment, the whispers he heard transformed into information in his mind.

He couldn't understand the individual whispers, but after putting everything together, he immediately understood their meaning.

The giant was telling him how to discern whether someone was an incarnation.

The method was simple. According to the information, by dissecting the person's physical body, extracting their Divine Soul, and then peeling it layer by layer, one would confirm the presence of a rune.

Of course, if Yu Ziqing was capable, he could directly see through to the deepest part of a person's Divine Soul without dissecting it.

The giant had considered that Yu Ziqing seemed to lack this ability, which is why he taught him a relatively simple method.

Yu Ziqing's facial features nearly crumpled together; the giant had indeed overestimated him.

He not only lacked the capability to see through, but also lacked the ability to dissect someone...

As for dissecting a Divine Soul, Yu Ziqing had never even heard of such a thing.

He only knew about the destruction of both body and soul.

Still, it was a method after all. If he wasn't capable, he could take it back and let the village chief and Yang handle it.

Moreover, since the giant had told him what the rune was, Yu Ziqing felt he could use it to his advantage.

He might not be able to discern who was an incarnation, but perhaps he could use this rune to discern who had cultivated an incarnation using this method.

He planned to study it carefully later on.

The Jade Scroll Yu Ziqing had given to the giant also broke along with the passing of the information.

Yu Ziqing made a decisive move, immediately taking out another Storage Bag containing numbered Jade Scrolls and preparing to throw them into the tunnel.

Thinking it over, he decided to remain calm. One shouldn't go too far after all, and in the end, he only took out ten Jade Scrolls and threw them down again.

"Big brother, I'm leaving ten backups for you. Feel free to let me know what you need; no need to be polite."

After speaking, Yu Ziqing cheerfully turned and left.

In the dark depths of the tunnel, the giant, with a hint of a smile, murmured to himself.

"Little guy is quite interesting, hungry ghost, you'd better grow quickly..."

After waking the translator, the giant continued to read the books while listening to the live commentary of the translator, probably not needing to worry about being bored for a long time.
