Master of Strange Dao

It seemed the Freedom Heaven had been deceiving well, as the Left Freedom Heaven had already resigned itself to its fate, making no resistance.

You Zhen held his left leg, his expression somewhat excited.

"The final part..."

"Let's restore it quickly."

You Zhen gradually suppressed his emotional fluctuations and calmed down slowly, shaking his head.

"No, no rush, if I recover now, it will surely draw attention; better to hold off, no need to hurry."

"Senior, aren't you preparing in advance? If the Tenth Tier path opens in future, you'll be ready to break through immediately."

"No need, I am preparing now.

This calamity of over two thousand years has already been enough to build up.

What I lack isn't power, but something else.

With an incomplete body and incomplete strength, it actually makes it easier for me to comprehend.

I cannot return to Dazhen anymore, might end up staying here.

I hope you all don't mind."

"You are too polite, Senior. I wish you wouldn't leave, and perhaps you could help guide the younger generation in the future."

Yu Ziqing grinned incessantly, thinking about Jinlan Mountain, and the person most likely to advance to the Tenth Tier soon was You Zhen.

With a Tenth Tier Body Cultivator presiding, that would truly stabilize things.

"You overestimate me; as for Body Cultivation, Jinlan Mountain understands far more than I do and is much stronger."

"Senior is too humble, as the saying goes, 'each has their own strengths and weaknesses.' Everyone's proficiency is different.

Senior's thorough and steady approach is the most orthodox Body Cultivation, honing the flesh, refining Qi-Blood, and so on, in nearly all aspects, Senior surpasses anyone from Jinlan Mountain.

What Jinlan Mountain excels at is only the village chief and certain Body Cultivation Secret Techniques."

Yu Ziqing saw it clearly.

Just as he was stronger than Yang in very few areas, it didn't mean he was overall stronger than Yang.

What others are proficient in and understand is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine miles, and he merely understands the missing one mile.

The same applied to You Zhen.

In Body Cultivation, You Zhen understood nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Steady and methodical, step by step.

After chatting with You Zhen for a while, Yu Ziqing left, allowing You Zhen some time to assimilate everything.

Thus, You Zhen's lost limbs were fully restored.

Yu Ziqing didn't say anything; You Zhen willingly chose to stay, displaying remarkable social acumen.

This left both sides feeling content.

With a Ninth Tier Peak Body Cultivator, Yu Ziqing felt much more at ease.

Outside, he couldn't say for certain, but with a Ninth Tier Peak Body Cultivator watching over Jinlan Mountain,

anyone under the Tenth Tier who came would meet their doom.

Just wait, at least a century or, preferably, a few centuries must pass before allowing Dadui to return.

By then, the Tenth Tier path would open.

Whether You Zhen or the village chief, just one of them advancing to the Tenth Tier would suffice.

If both advanced to the Tenth Tier, Jinlan Mountain would be completely safe, and no one could attempt to eliminate it.

This would be a true bastion.

And then, when they cultivated to the point of being indestructible, they could truly rest easy.

Once again, he arrived at the place where the Head Freedom Heaven was, watching it struggle to persist there.

"Train well here, how can you not endure even this trace of energy..."

After speaking, he surveyed the surroundings.

"If he dares to leave here, leave him to you all."

From each locust tree, drooling hungry ghosts poked out their heads, their glowing green eyes fixated on the Head Freedom Heaven.

"Rest assured, master, I will certainly adapt well."

Yu Ziqing shook his head.

"You, a Heavenly Demon, what do you need with a body? Just maintain your current form."

The Head Freedom Heaven was slightly taken aback and quickly agreed.

He wondered if this was a hint?

Suddenly, he recalled he'd never heard of or known whose body the Heavenly Devil King had seized.

Was this implying that the Heavenly Devil King had no body?

Thinking this, the Head Freedom Heaven gritted its teeth to endure, no longer considering seeking a body, thinking it might be easier to resist the hungry ghost breath.

Yu Ziqing walked toward Jinlan Mountain.

With the full-scale attack of the demons from the Abyss, he wasn't preparing to go out.

"Lou Huai, go to Almsgiving Town, inform Big Ghost and Cece of the demon news, and let them relay it to the people of Dali.

Let them be cautious, and if there are too many demons, retreat appropriately, let some demons out.

Tell Big Ghost not to risk their lives unnecessarily.

Letting some demons out would allow Dali's soldiers to gain some military merits.

Otherwise, they come laboriously and train for so long, only to gain nothing.

That wouldn't just be risking their lives, but also offending people."

According to the frontline reports, not a single demon had rushed out of the Abyss for several days.

Yu Ziqing didn't even need to think to know that those hungry ghosts must be hoarding the gains, combined with Big Ghost leading the hungry ghost banner there, not letting any demons escape was expected.

One day later.

Lou Huai arrived at the Health Club, relaying Yu Ziqing's words to Cece.

Cece went straight to the Abyssal Rift.

Passing through the Abyssal Rift, on the Abyss side, the bloody aura pervaded, and evil Qi filled the air.

The blood of dead demons had already formed rivers on the ground.

Big Ghost was overseeing the area; the battlefield extended over a hundred miles from the Abyssal Rift.

Millions of hungry ghosts from the hungry ghost banner were released in turns; once one batch was full, another took their place.

This fellow truly treated the demon attack as an all-you-can-eat buffet and military training exercise.

Even to prevent the death of hungry ghosts with any inkling of self-awareness, some still-living demons were caught to feed them.
