I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4153: Chapter 1958: The Secret of Xu (Part 2)

"Second, if the ’demon’ will not act, then none will act, because even before releasing the Six Xu, it fears being influenced by ’Nu’."

Such a clear line of thought!

Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t help but marvel once again. This guy is truly an emotionless deep analysis machine; every line he utters is spot-on.

"The Scale White Witch, Voodoo Body, I’ve talked to you about some of this."

"No need to reiterate, but perhaps I can bring up something to inspire your thoughts."

"According to my further tracing, it might not be the Last Generation Voodoo Body that appeared on the Scale White Witch’s body, but rather, each generation of Voodoo Body is a Dissolve of the Scale White Witch’s power."

Xu Xiaoshou was startled upon hearing this, "What do you mean?"

"It’s very simple, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If you were ’the demon’, and you had to deploy the Six Xu in the five regions, how would you do it?"

Just this question alone was enough to bring enlightenment.

If the Demon Ancestor wanted to experiment, to verify whether the First Generation Six Xu could aid one in cultivating the ’self’, then one part should be released whole, another part scattered into two or three, and another part completely fragmented, released simultaneously in many parts to set up comparative experiments.

Ultimately, whether it could help one successfully cultivate the ’self’, with the Demon Ancestor’s vision, just a glimpse of the pattern would be enough to understand the larger picture.

In saying this...

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly thought of the reason why, within Bei Huai, who should have died with Night Guardian, there remained such a powerful ’self’.

He remained unyielding to death, even uniting with multiple wills like the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, Ye Xiao, to become the ’Night’.

Perhaps this was due to the tenacious will of the Night Guardian itself.

Could it be that a more significant factor is that the essence of the Body of Devour is to find the true ’self’ amidst chaos — using Six Xu to aid the cultivation of the ’self’?

Moreover...

Xu Xiaoshou suddenly recalled that when Intent Stripping peeled Bei Huai, along with hearing the voice of the Night Guardian, there were many other voices of intent.

Those voices overlapped and fused into one.

This unfamiliar yet familiar tone, the way of many people speaking simultaneously, was similar to the voice emitted by the deranged Nu.

So if the Night Guardian could attain the Path, it must inevitably be the deranged Nu’s Path because this Path originally stemmed from the blessings of Nuozu?

Upon this detailed consideration, it turned somber again.

The deranged Nu’s ’self’ is strong, the power even stronger, mastering Time Ancestor with ease, abstract ’self’ can be visualized into combat power.

The Night Guardian’s ’self’ is not weak, but its power is too weak, and it lacks a concrete method to practice the Path of the ’self’.

During the Red Coat period, he couldn’t compare in talent with Ancestral God, not comparable at all.

Comparing with the Ten High Nobles, he could barely contend with Aunt Xiang, provided the opponent doesn’t use the Great Summoning Technique.

— This is akin to Bazhun’an possessing the Two Forms and the Path of Infinite but losing Ancient Sword Technique, Qingju, despite high boundaries, unable to fight, akin to ’talking on paper’.

Xu Xiaoshou lamented secretly, coming back to senses: "So you mean, the Voodoo Body has appeared multiple times in history, and so has the Body of Devour, all intentionally?"

"Mistakes can be retrieved." Dao Qiongcang spoke succinctly.

Xu Xiaoshou ruminated deeply again, and agreed.

The Body of Devour has appeared many times in history, causing some damage, but never endangered the continent, presumably because they were retrieved.

Until the birth of Starry Night, Starry Night got into Medicine Ancestor’s hands and has run till now, the Demon Ancestor never retrieved it, even deliberately letting it go?

"Interesting..."

"Yes, after the ’demon’, subtle and hidden."

"No, my Path, you are the one who’s subtle and hidden, others couldn’t discern these."

"Ah haha..."

Dao Qiongcang seemed not to notice Xu Xiaoshou quietly hinting at what he mentioned earlier, continuing to speak:

"The Gold-Eroding Kui, Gold Erosion power, Taizai Ci, you fought with him, can be skipped."

"Hold on!"

Xu Xiaoshou was amused.

Not only because of Dao Qiongcang, but also himself.

Previously, he really didn’t understand the importance of the First Generation Six Xu, so after defeating Taizai Ci, he chose to discard the Gold-Eroding Kui as waste, taking the precious semi-saint person.

In retrospect now, Soul Reading Taizai Ci that day, first met Dao Qiongcang — to be so attentive to someone of demi-saint person, it showed the preciousness of Gold Erosion power.

Dao Qiongcang the sly villain!

Can you act like a human for once!

"Then the Gold-Eroding Kui..."

"You shot it dead." Dao Qiongcang responded quickly, "Do you not remember? You gave me ’one finger’, still instilling fear."

"Then the Gold Erosion power..."

"Surely it was retrieved, right?"

"By whom?"

"Perhaps, ’the demon’?"

"But the Divine Relics are the domain of the ’Profound’; at that time, hadn’t the ’Demon’s’ reach extended this far?"

"Perhaps it was picked up by a passerby..." Dao Qiongcang shifted the conversation, "My dear Xu, I seem to recall that back then I voluntarily told you the secret of the Great God Descending Technique. How many Spirit Crystals do you think it’s worth?"

Back then, Elder Dao the Flamboyant offered the Great God Descending Technique as a friendship fee; one must admit it was extremely precious.

The most important thing is, Dao Qiongcang’s voluntary explanation meant that the threat of the Great God Descending Technique, while still significant to others, was rendered negligible to Xu Xiaoshou.

Who would have thought that after such an exorbitant friendship fee, Dao Qiongcang would, away from prying eyes, pick up the abandoned Gold-Eroding Kui?

Recalling this, Xu Xiaoshou could only helplessly rub his forehead and chuckle bitterly.

Who could he blame?

No one.

A lack of information was his fatal flaw, and Dao Qiongcang took advantage of it...

No, it’s not exactly taking advantage.

From the ghost beast host body memory of Bei Huai, it shows that Dao Qiongcang had already set his sights on Bei Huai’s belongings early on.

So...

Considering the Voodoo Body of the Scale White Witch, Dao Qiongcang had already quietly acquired one-third of the first-generation Six Xu?

This was truly terrifying!

In contrast, Medicine Ancestor’s schemes seemed less secretive than Dao Qiongcang’s?

"Continue."

Xu Xiaoshou’s inner voice regained calmness, but his emotions couldn’t help but stir.

Until now, he saw and disrupted some of the plans of Medicine Ancestor and Demon Ancestor, yet he still let The Divine fight alone.

Even his entry into the schemes was very concealed, just setting up an array at Cross Corner Street, targeting Bei Huai, but preventing whom?

If not Dao Qiongcang, then who?

This guy hides his cards well, full of ambition, yet at this moment, he hasn’t even revealed a fraction of it, let alone the whole iceberg?

Bazhunan, God, Cao, none are truly fearsome.

The frightening thing is the person opposite with the Spirit Rhinoceros Technique.

He even predicted that the Eighth would be out of the game and certainly made additional preparations?

Xu Xiaoshou thought to himself, either he would eventually fall into Dao Qiongcang’s hands, or one of the Three Ancestors—Medicine, Demon, Profound—would suffer greatly!

The good friend’s Spirit Rhinoceros Technique, for which the friendship fee was paid, continued to subtly tremble, still maintaining that inscrutable demeanor:

"Xu Hui’s Cataract and Empty Spirit Gu, as for specific details, even I don’t quite know..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the gray-white object in the Life Medicine Pool Space in front of him, once more infuriated.

Breaking down at the critical moment?

This is only getting to the main point!

"Xu..." Just as he spoke the syllable, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly awakened and slammed on the brakes.

Too late!

"Oh?" Dao Qiongcang’s voice became intriguing, "What is it, so hard to guess? You ask me about the first-generation Six Xu for this reason... So I’m going to take a wild guess, you encountered something you need to handle—’Empty Spirit Gu’! Did I get it? Did I hit the mark?"

Xu Xiaoshou: "..."

This guy is truly flamboyant, no wonder he’s so annoying.

Just a moment’s lapse, and he managed to pry out some information.

But it doesn’t matter; it was meant to be an equal trade to tell him, "Yes, it’s indeed Xu Hui’s Cataract. So tell me, do you have any methods to avoid the Ancestral God and ’recover’ the power of Xu Hui’s Cataract?"

"I do."

"What are your conditions?"

"Everyone present gets a share."

You really dare to open your mouth wide like a lion!

But given Xu Hui’s Cataract is a piece of the first-generation Six Xu, and knowing it’s a fallback of Demon Ancestor, with Medicine Ancestor in possession, such a complex situation involves everything.

If it could break the secret of the Six Xu and acquire the means to retrieve the Six Xu abilities, it would provide a foundation to deal with unexpected attacks from Medicine Ancestor or Demon Ancestor.

Could the Night Guardian, deeply poisoned by the power of the Six Xu, find a way to escape the Sea of Suffering?

And the Life Medicine Pool Space here, could it draw the quietly lurking Dao Qiongcang into Medicine Ancestor’s attention?

After a brief thought, a decision was made.

Xu Xiaoshou continued to tap into the Spirit Rhinoceros Technique channel, implicitly suggesting:

"Everyone present gets a share, but first, we have to ’meet’."

"What do you mean?" Dao Qiongcang replied instantly.

"Xu Hui’s Cataract can be shared with you, but I’m afraid you wouldn’t dare come to the trading location."

"Oh?"
