Collecting the corpse for the emperor, my cultivation base will skyrocket for ten thousand years!

"In fact, the authority of the Supreme Hall does not conflict with your opening up of new paths on your own."

"Whether it's you, Mad Daoist, or Qin Daofu, or any other controller of the Heavenly Books and Codexes, you can gain the blessing of authority and power, and at the same time, you can create your own new path to the Great Dao through your great wisdom and perseverance."

"According to the High Priest, although the controllers of the Heavenly Book and the Codex are members of the Supreme Hall, their status is not constant."

"They can leave the ranks of the Supreme Hall at any time in the future!"

“I think that before you open up your own new path, and when you are at a low level, you can consider obtaining the authority and power of the controller of the Heavenly Book and the controller of the Codex.”

"In this way, your foundation and strength will be greatly enhanced, and with the support and assistance of authority, it will also be of great benefit to you in the future in opening up and controlling more Great Dao Laws."

"To possess a heavenly book or legal code is both an unparalleled opportunity and an honor, and at the same time, a responsibility."

"The High Priest knows your character and that you do not want to be overly constrained or bound, so she will not force you; everything is up to your own free will."

"As for the final decision, it's entirely up to you..."

Seeing that the two seemed to be struggling with their feelings and resisting, Yin Siming's voice rang out again.

For other living beings in this world, obtaining a celestial book or codex is an unparalleled opportunity and good fortune; and receiving the blessing of the power of the highest hall represents an extraordinary future and authority.

This is a blessing you can only dream of!

But for the Mad Taoist and Qin Daofu, the things that all living beings in the world dream of pursuing are within their grasp.

And there was some resistance.

If other people knew, they would definitely say: "You don't know what's good for you."

In fact!
Both Yin Siming and Tu Shan Cangyue highly recognized the aptitude and potential of the Mad Taoist and Qin Daofu.

Naturally, they also hope that they can join the Green Mountain Divine Kingdom, advance together, and grow stronger together.

However, neither the Mad Taoist nor Qin Daofu were particularly interested in this, so they never forced them to join the Green Mountain Divine Kingdom, nor did they ever mention it in front of them.

Now that their future development and cultivation direction were being discussed, Yin Siming had no choice but to say a few more words.

In his view, the power to assume authority over the highest hall and the path to opening up new avenues for himself are not contradictory and can be carried out simultaneously.

At worst, I can just leave the core sequence of the Supreme Hall.

Neither the controller of the Heavenly Book nor the controller of the Codex is ever constant.

The Mad Taoist can be the controller of the "Book of Burial," Qin Daofu can be the controller of the "Code of the Underworld," and anyone else could do the same.

It is not the heavenly book or the code of law that bestows this identity and authority upon the controller of living beings, but rather that a certain living being obtains the heavenly book and the code of law, and gains the recognition of the supreme hall, and is then given the identity and authority of the controller.

The heavenly book and the legal code may be constant; but the person who controls them and the identity of the controller are definitely not constant.

As Yin Siming recounted the ancient secrets, both the Mad Taoist and Qin Daofu were suddenly jolted, realizing the hidden meaning behind his words.

That is, both the celestial book and the legal code can be taken back...

They currently possess the Book of Burial and the Codex of the Underworld, but this only represents the current stage and does not mean that they will be able to possess and use them indefinitely.

after all!

Heavenly books and legal codes belong to the highest hall.

The Supreme Hall, through the Heavenly Book and the Codex, bestows upon a particular being the exalted identity and authority of the Heavenly Book's controller or the Codex's controller.

This authority must be held by the Supreme Hall; once someone is no longer part of the Supreme Hall's order, all the Heavenly Books and Codexes they previously possessed will be revoked, and a new, suitable candidate will be sought.

"You can think about it carefully."

"The matters concerning the Supreme Hall, the controllers of the Heavenly Book, the controllers of the Codex, and the power of authority are all secrets unknown to the outside world."

"The reason the High Priest tells you all this in advance is to prepare you mentally, so that at least before you become immortals, you will have a choice."

"Therefore, you are not in a hurry to make a choice now; you will have plenty of time to think it through."

"If you surpass the Great Dao of the Heavenly Book or the Codex before you attain immortality, then you will not need to worry about it in the future."

"Of course, besides the lofty identities of the controller of the Heavenly Book and the controller of the Codex, you can also cultivate other Great Daos, which is not contradictory."

“As long as one has the talent and ability, the more the better…” After Yin Siming finished speaking, the two nodded thoughtfully.

They really learned a lot today!

If Yin Siming hadn't told them these things, given their current level of cultivation and understanding, they would never have had access to such supreme secrets.

"Thank you for your explanation, Grand Celestial Master, and for your guidance, High Priest. I will consider it carefully."

At this moment, the mad Taoist looked very serious.

This concerns one's future life and destiny, so there can be no mistakes whatsoever; utmost caution is required.

Similarly, Qin Daofu was the same.

"Why think so much now? Let's just take it one step at a time and let things take their natural course."

"All roads are made by people walking on them."

"Nobody knows what the future holds; I don't think we need to worry about these things now..."

Suddenly, a calm voice came from the depths of the temple's space-time.

Upon hearing this, the Mad Taoist and Qin Daofu immediately perked up and looked toward the source of the sound.

As the ripples of time and space appeared, Lin Wudao's familiar figure slowly came into view.

At this moment, he exuded an ancient, magnificent, and supreme aura of the Great Dao, and every move he made seemed to resonate with the myriad Daos of heaven and earth.

As he approached step by step, everyone present felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

It was as if their own Great Dao was being suppressed; even Tu Shan Cang Yue and Luo Qing Ran, who had become the Venerable of the Six Great Daos, could not give them such a feeling.

"Brother Ren, you've emerged from seclusion?"

"Huh? Didn't you create the Ancient Great Dao? Why is your cultivation level weaker than before?"

"Shouldn't they be like Luo Shen, directly ascending to become a Great Dao Venerable?"

Upon seeing Lin Wudao appear, the Mad Taoist and Qin Daofu immediately came to his side and carefully examined him.

However, the more they looked, the more confused they became, and they even couldn't understand Lin Wudao's cultivation method.

Because they could all clearly sense that Lin Wudao's aura and power were even weaker than before.

And it's not just a tiny bit weak!
"Brother Ren, you... severed your original cultivation level?"

At this moment, Qin Daofu seemed to have thought of something and asked in disbelief.

Creating a new path will only make us stronger, and it is impossible for us to become weaker.

Given Lin Wudao's current state, the only possibility is that he has severed his cultivation.

Lin Wudao couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Qin Daofu, who could guess at a glance that he had severed his original cultivation: "That's right, I did sever my original cultivation."

"My current realm is that of the Great Dao Immortal Emperor."

what?
The Great Dao Immortal Emperor?

Not only the Mad Taoist and Qin Daofu, but also Yin Siming, Zhao Huanshan and others on the side cast shocked and surprised glances.

Clearly, none of them understood Lin Wudao's actions.

While others were desperately striving to climb higher, Lin Wudao simply slashed away the realm he had painstakingly cultivated.

"Brother Ren, is there some deeper reason behind your actions? Could it be that this method can build a more solid foundation and resources?"

"Yes, that's not how you cut the Dao."

Even the mad Taoist and Qin Daofu, who knew Lin Wudao best, were confused by his bizarre actions.

I wonder what he's really up to. (End of Chapter)
