“Let alone a mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal, even if all the elders of my Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace joined forces and comprehended it all, it would still take a hundred years to dismantle it layer by layer and slowly refine it before they could absorb and transform it little by little. If they were not careful, they would be devoured by the Dao Rhyme, their Dao foundation would be shattered, and their souls would be destroyed.”
“But what about him?”
Su Qingyuan’s gaze was solemn, and her tone was filled with undisguised shock: “He didn’t need to comprehend, refine, or guide; in the blink of an eye, he absorbed everything, perfectly integrated it, and left no backlash whatsoever.”
“This control over the origin of the Heavenly Dao and the degree of harmony with the rules and order of the Dao are unmatched and unparalleled throughout the entire Twenty-Seven Heavens!”
“Is this the foundation a Grand Luo Golden Immortal should possess? Is this the skill a low-level rogue cultivator should have?”
The three questions, each hitting the nail on the head, left everyone speechless and trembling.
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and a cold sweat broke out on their backs.
yes!
They had been blinded by David’s appearance, cultivation level, and timid demeanor, and had preconceived notions of him as a weak, lowly, cowardly, and eking-out ordinary rogue cultivator.
But from beginning to end, it was all a disguise!
In the middle level of the Dao Ruins, everyone was deceived by the illusory treasures, but he saw through the trap and understood the truth at a glance.
Deep within the Dao Ruins, heroes fought a chaotic battle amidst overwhelming killing intent. He was at the heart of the chaos, yet remained unharmed and undetected by anyone.
Even a top genius and ruthless figure like Kugu Jin, who was repeatedly targeted by him, was always tricked and schemed against by him.
Now, even the primordial Dao of Heaven, which is difficult to integrate for thousands of years, can be absorbed and perfectly controlled by him with a single thought!
This is no weak, rogue cultivator!
This is clearly an extremely terrifying, masterful, and cunning master who pretends to be weak while actually being strong!
His cultivation level as a Great Luo Golden Immortal was never his limit; it was merely a disguise he deliberately displayed to deceive the world!
“I seeI see!”
The elder in the green robe muttered to himself, his face filled with lingering fear, cold sweat dripping down his back, “This boy’s cunning, vision, and foundation are simply astonishing!”
We were completely deceived; not one of us saw through it at all!
The white-robed elder completely suppressed his killing intent and anger, replacing it with deep apprehension and solemnity: “No wonder he can accurately predict all dangers and see through all illusions.”
No wonder he remained low-key and unassuming throughout; from the very beginning, his goal wasn’t the ordinary opportunities in the middle level of the Dao Ruins, but this unique and authentic Dao essence of the Heavenly Dao!
“He proceeded step by step, patiently lying in wait, using our protection to enter the game smoothly, using the chaos of the battle to conceal his presence, and finally quietly taking away the Daoist essence. The whole process was flawless and perfect!”
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized the truth, and their anger and resentment were completely replaced by extreme shock and fear.
Such individuals are not people they can easily manipulate or hunt down.
If we had forced a pursuit just now, not only would we not have been able to reclaim the Daoist essence, but we might have even lost everyone and perished in the void.
“Young Miss is wise. If it weren’t for your timely intervention, we would have almost caused a disaster.”
The two elders bowed and apologized in deep voices, their hearts filled with awe.
Su Qingyuan nodded slightly, her gaze still fixed on the horizon where David had disappeared, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
There was regret, remorse, and surprise, but not much hatred.
Along the way, she witnessed David’s insightful mind and composed demeanor, and also vaguely sensed his uniqueness.
Although he pretended to be timid and kept a low profile, he was kind-hearted, did not enjoy killing, and did not take advantage of others. He pointed out dangers several times and saved the lives of the entire team. He never took the initiative to harm anyone or secretly plotted against anyone.
Today’s acquisition of Dao essence is not out of greed or evil, but to prolong the lives of beings in this realm and to ensure the continuation of the Dao of all heavens. This vision and sense of responsibility far surpass those of countless sect prodigies and veteran powerhouses who strive for fame and fortune.
“Never mind.”
Su Qingyuan spoke softly, shaking her head in relief, “Opportunities are determined by fate. The Daoist essence falling into his hands is his destiny, and also an inevitable part of the cycle of Heaven.”
“Since he has promised to come to apologize and repay his debts in the future, we can just wait for that day.”
“All personnel rest and recuperate, then return to the Heavenly Palace immediately.”
“yes!”
The crowd responded in unison, suppressing all the turmoil in their hearts, reorganizing their formation, changing direction, and steadily returning to the Wanfa Heavenly Palace’s base.
However, they were unaware that the two incidents that occurred in the Dao Ruins today had quietly and thoroughly shaken up the entire political landscape of the Twenty-Seventh Heaven.
