“The Six Dao Tianmo” sat ahead, resembling a small hill. Compared to it, Meng Qi felt as tiny as a speck of dust, naturally overwhelmed by a pressure as tangible as reality.
However, Meng Qi appeared composed and confident, calmly saying, “You threw the shaman conducting the ritual into the ‘Six Dao,’ and revealed the relationship between Eternal Heaven and the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince, as if you didn’t wish to see Him awaken?”
Six Dao Tianmo burst into laughter, raising its right hand to stroke its smooth, hairless head: “No one wants another master above them. This is true for humanity, and equally true for evil spirits and devils.”
It slowly rose to its feet, nearly filling Meng Qi’s entire field of vision as the oppressive force grew stronger: “The great calamity approaches; the Nine Nethers shall gradually reemerge into the world, and the slumbering mighty ones will awaken with time, spreading slaughter, corruption, and ruin to every corner…”
Indeed, the Nine Nether will return, and evil spirits will reappear in the human world. Only this aligns with the “Ten-Thousand-Year Catastrophe” foretold by the Wang family. As Meng Qi listened to the Six Paths Demon’s description of the future “apocalyptic scenario,” he instinctively filtered out the exaggerated threats, extracting only the most crucial information: within the next decade, cracks leading to the Nine Nether would gradually multiply, and the emerging evil spirits would grow increasingly powerful. This would be a slow, unfolding process—a long-term hidden peril rather than an immediate crisis.
“…Ultimately, at the end of days, only by becoming a great being oneself can one hope to survive the catastrophe and usher in a new era. Thus, one must seize every opportunity to enhance oneself,” Six Dao Tianmo declared, standing tall on the demonic land, almost supporting the heavens.
It looked down at Meng Qi: “When you resisted My Six Dao Great Hand Seal, I sensed something from you.”
“All is created by the mind; corruption begins here. Everything originates from the most ancient and primordial ‘heart.’ Your path is incompatible, so you cannot even demonstrate a fraction of its power. Why not share it with Me, and gain other benefits instead?”
This was a Tianmo skilled in temptation… Meng Qi let his long blade hang slightly, smiling faintly: “What benefits can you offer me?”
Doubt, disdain, and contempt were evident in his tone, attempting to provoke Six Dao Tianmo’s anger and extract more information.
Yet, this was also Meng Qi’s genuine sentiment. He already possessed the “Yuan Shi Golden Treatise” with five of its nine seals, the early chapters of the Eight and Nine Profound Cultivation Method, the general principles and first move of the Buddha’s Palm, one of the Seven Heavens-Cutting Sword techniques, parts of the Overlord’s Six Cuts and the Divine Radiance Nine Annihilation techniques. This surpassed most top sects. What could this “small” Tianmo under the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince possibly offer to entice him?
Even the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince’s former “lord” was already his good brother; this Tianmo was still far from comparable!
Meng Qi, with his extensive knowledge and experience, was no longer the naive youth who would get excited at the sight of a Tianmo or hearing secrets. Facing Six Dao Tianmo, he felt a sense of dullness.
Six Dao Tianmo sat back down, like a collapsing golden mountain, its right hand stroking its chin meaningfully: “Although I cannot see clearly, I can tell you are entangled in karma, and your fortune is abnormal. You must be a pawn of some powerful being or beings. Under normal circumstances, you have no chance at all. However, with the great calamity approaching and various great beings awakening, as demons and monsters appear in the world, amidst the chaos and entanglements, there will be a glimmer of hope. And that is where the wisdom accumulated over years can guide you.”
No wonder this Tianmo, skilled in tempting others to fall, could instantly identify his inner vulnerabilities… Meng Qi remained calm and steady, speaking in a dull tone: “The last ‘friend’ who tried to guide me has already perished, leaving no trace. The karma on me involves the Primordial Lord, A-nan, the Demon-Subduing Lord, the Thunder God, the Overlord, and a mysterious existence. Do you think you can rival them, and are you not afraid of being obliterated by them?”
I just want to ask if you’re afraid!
Meng Qi was actually eager to see Six Dao Tianmo fearless, thus judging whether the Master of the Six Dao or its powerful backer could personally intervene, and within what range such obliteration could occur…
For a long while, “Six Dao Tianmo” remained silent, sitting motionless, as if the Meng Qi before him was the real monster.
Where had this man incurred so many terrifying karmic ties? It was the most exaggerated situation since ancient times!
After a long time, it finally spoke slowly, its voice much subdued: “The wisdom accumulated over years refers to the flesh and blood of the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince, not My personal guidance…”
What a coward! Meng Qi inwardly scorned.
Beside him, Lan Jingtian and Gao Qianyuan seemed still trapped in the Six Dao of the mind, not yet regaining their senses.
“The flesh and blood of the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince?” Meng Qi asked casually.
Six Dao Tianmo seemed to have already prepared its following words, gradually speaking more fluently: “Yes, the flesh and blood of the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince.”
“We evil spirits imprint our experience, wisdom, and strength within our flesh. Once obtained, without the danger of possession or soul theft, it’s as if the ‘Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince’ has returned to the world. He was the leader of Tianmo, skilled in grasping the mind, setting up schemes and plots, creating opportunities from the impossible, perfectly suiting your situation.”
“Because My True Soul Flame was devoured by Him, once I approach His demonic body, I will lose all power. Thus, I must seek an ally to steal His essence and make Him sleep forever. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Of course, as an exchange and the first step toward mutual trust, I will give you the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince’s cultivation method in advance, while you need to give Me that most ancient heart for My enlightenment.”
It stared deeply at Meng Qi, seemingly feeling its argument and conditions were flawless and deeply moving.
Meng Qi sighed, then turned directly, walking away from the demonic land with his back to “Six Dao Tianmo,” shaking his head while walking and saying with a faint smile: “Do you think someone with so many top inheritances would be impressed by the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince’s cultivation method?”
“He can barely rank within the top ten of the Nine Netherworld. Can his experience and wisdom rival that of the Thunder God, the Demon-Subduing Lord, the Great Arhat Ananda, or even the Primordial Lord?”
A faint disdain floated in his dull tone.
“Six Dao Tianmo” fell silent again, its thoughts separated from its demonic body, unknown in its contemplation, its solitary eye flickering with six-colored light, various emotions surging, vaguely exuding a desolate atmosphere.
As Meng Qi was about to leave the demonic land, it finally spoke heavily: “Do you think I will let you leave so easily?”
Because of the low prestige, failing to tempt, it changed to threats? Meng Qi not only felt no fear but found it amusing.
To be honest, the experiences and insights of the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince were indeed highly enticing to him. However, he clearly recognized that once he showed interest and allowed unchecked greed to take hold, becoming entangled with malevolent spirits, he would gradually be lured into corruption. Therefore, he resolutely refused without harboring any illusions of侥幸.
At this moment, Meng Qi laughed loudly: “Dare you lay a hand on me? Since you can see I am a pawn, would you dare to disrupt the chess game of these great beings?”
Six Dao Tianmo fell silent again, the wind blowing bleakly as it inhaled deeply: “The chessboard of great beings won’t have only one piece; those who are unqualified will merely be left to their fate.”
“Not to mention that you are only a projection here, with insufficient strength, at best able to manipulate Lan Jingtian, whose mind has been clouded. Just your caution alone prevents you from acting.” Meng Qi still kept his back to Six Dao Tianmo, his steps firm and calm.
If he hadn’t figured this out, and with someone scouting ahead, he wouldn’t have come in at all!
“What caution?” Six Dao Tianmo chuckled in disbelief.
Meng Qi reached the edge of the demonic land, laughing mockingly: “Is the Eternal Heaven the incarnation of the Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince? Would the summoning secret method He provided summon the wrong person?”
“Great Self-Existent Heaven Prince, haven’t you always claimed to be the wisest of demons, the most cautious? Can the temptation of the Yuanxin Seal compare to the wrath of these great beings? Are you willing to take the risk?”
“Six Dao Tianmo” gently tapped its right hand on its left forearm, saying nothing.
