Chapter 656 The End of a Tyrant's Road, Exploring the Abyss Again

Daluo Town.

When Li Fei brought Ning Qingman here, the protective array of the Great Luo Sect had already been closed, and the Great Luo Sect no longer sealed off the mountain.

Taiyu was officially appointed as the Grand Preceptor of the Great Blue Dynasty, and the Great Luo Sect began to regain its former power.

At this time, Da Luo Town was bustling with activity, as a large number of young people came from all directions in order to join the Da Luo Sect.

After Taiyu was appointed as the National Preceptor, the first thing he did upon returning to his sect was to announce the end of the Great Luo Sect's closure of the mountain, and the second thing he did was to publicly recruit disciples.

The disciples of the Great Luo Sect are selected from children who are seven or eight years old. Although it is not possible to tell whether they have the aptitude for cultivation at this age, they can first lay a foundation, strengthen their bones and muscles, learn martial arts, and take elixirs to cleanse themselves.

If the implant is placed after adulthood, cultivation will be much more effective.

This is also an advantage for disciples of the Grand Master.

The reputation of the Great Luo Sect had been ruined by Qingxu, and even when it recruited disciples, few dared to send their children there.

But things are different now. As soon as the news spread, not only people from Ming Province, but also people from seven or eight surrounding provinces brought their children to participate in the assessment, hoping to join the Great Luo Sect.

The town of Daluo was almost overcrowded. Li Fei and Ning Qingman did not enter the town, but waited in the woods on the outskirts of the town.

A moment later, a white rainbow streaked across the sky, unnoticed by the others, and landed outside Da Luo Town.

"I've met the Imperial Master."

"Greetings, Master Taiyu."

Li Fei and Ning Qingman bowed to Tai Yu, who was dressed in a Taoist robe.

Taiyu did not come alone; he brought with him a dark-skinned boy named Chagan Bayar.

After returning the greeting, Taiyu pushed Chaganbayar forward and placed him in front of Li Fei.

Chaganbayar looked desperate, but he couldn't move.

Ever since that day when Ye Ze'an set a trap for him and exposed himself in front of Qing Ding, he had been imprisoned by the Daluo Sect until now, when Tai Yu brought him out alone and brought him before Li Fei.

Looking at the pride of the grasslands before him, Li Fei felt a sense of admiration for Ye Ze'an's methods.

The other party set up a trap for Buddhism, and also managed to find out Chagan Bayar's identity.

"Tell me, are you Qilian Guanshi or Styx Ancestor?"

Li Fei asked.

"I am neither the Styx Ancestor nor the Qilian Guanshi; I merely possess a portion of their memories."

Chaganbayar knew that there was no point in hiding it any longer, so he revealed his identity.

However, he knew that revealing his true identity would mean certain death, so he had prepared a story for himself during this time.

Li Fei: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

He has already promised to hand over the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River] to Taiyu, so Taiyu also needs to find out the origin of the [Forgetful River].

"After the battle of Emerald Green City, the Styx Ancestor set his sights on the princes and dukes of the Western Continent."

Chagan Bayar began to recount the various events that had transpired, explaining how the Styx Ancestor had been poisoned by Qilian Guanshi, how he had laid the crucial trap, and how he had ultimately turned defeat into victory.

It wasn't until he claimed to have possessed Chaganbayar that he changed his story:
"At that time, Qilian Guanshi was being chased by the 'Demon Spear' and was seriously injured. In order to survive, he used the Dao of Reincarnation to re-enter the 'reincarnation' and came into my body as if he had been reincarnated. At the same time, he also retained the Dao of Oblivion."

A portion of my destiny came from the Styx Ancestor, so when Qilian Guanshi intended to reincarnate in me, it stirred the Styx Ancestor's spirit. After a fierce battle, they perished together. Ultimately, I inherited most of the Styx Ancestor's memories and a portion of Qilian Guanshi's memories.

Most of what Chaganbayar said was true, and the details did not seem fabricated; he only lied about the most crucial parts.

He knew that if he was merely a grassland boy who had inherited some of the memories of the Styx Ancestor and Qilian Guanshi, then he still had a chance to survive.

Otherwise, you will definitely die!

After listening to Chaganbayar's account, Li Fei finally understood how the Dao of the River of Oblivion had been preserved.

The conditions are indeed very demanding. It requires the cooperation of the Dao principle of [Reincarnation], and the Styx Ancestor himself must not have completely perished, but was refined into a Yin spirit.

Only in this way can we have the opportunity to preserve individual principles.

If this Dao principle is refined by someone in the future, the [River of Oblivion] will also dissipate when that person dies.

Li Fei looked at Tai Yu:

"What does the Imperial Master think?"

Taiyu fell into deep thought.

If Chagan Bayar only inherited the memories of the two, then he is actually quite innocent. In fact, because he is burdened with destiny and possesses the memories of a top-tier expert, he has a promising future and is the most suitable successor to the Dao of the [Forgetful River].

With careful nurturing, he will undoubtedly become a true ruler in the future!
But if Chagan Bayar is lying, and the other party is actually the reincarnation of the Styx Ancestor or Qilian Guanshi, then the Daluo Sect has left behind a huge hidden danger by keeping this person.

The risks and benefits of this matter are proportional.

Now that Chagan Bayar is nominally a disciple of the Daluo Sect, and Li Fei has promised to hand over the Dao Principles of the [Forgetful River] to Taiyu, Chagan Bayar's fate should be decided by Taiyu.

Taiyu looked at Li Fei:

"Does the Duke have a way to verify his authenticity?"

Li Fei: "There is indeed a way."

"Oh?"

“Chaganbayar, I need you to completely open your heart to me. I need to use magic to examine the depths of your subconscious.”

Li Fei said.

He possesses the magic of the Nightmare Sect, and as long as the target is willing to completely open their heart, he can discover all the secrets deep within their heart.

Chaganbayar's expression froze, but he had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

This was his only way out.

"Relax your mind. Your subconscious will be wary of outsiders. I will give you a hint first. After I trigger your subconscious, this hint will remind you. You just need to not resist my probing."

Li Fei said to Chaganbayar.

The Nightmare Sect's spells require the target's cooperation; otherwise, forcibly casting the spell will only damage the target's mind, ultimately resulting in some fragmented memories.

Li Fei has now reached the True One Realm, and even though he hasn't practiced the Nightmare Sect's techniques much, he can use them very easily.

He quickly completed the suggestion, cast the 'Dream Gate' to enter the dream world, found Chaganbayar's subconscious, and entered it—

Passing through the other person's surface subconscious, Li Fei felt as if he had entered hell.

The darkness was so deep you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, the boundless underworld was filled with wandering spirits.

"Is this Chaganbayar's inner world? Even if he really only inherited the memories of the Styx Ancestor, his temperament has probably already leaned towards the Styx Ancestor."

Li Fei looked at the subconscious world before him and shook his head.

He heard the sound of flowing water and flew towards the direction of the sound. Soon he saw a vast river, which was the River of Oblivion.

Without hesitation, Li Fei plunged into the River of Oblivion.

Because all of Chaganbayar's deepest memories are hidden in this river.

As Li Fei sank deeper into the River of Oblivion, the resistance he encountered grew increasingly stronger.

This is a subconscious resistance deep within Chaganbayar's heart.

A thought flashed through Li Fei's mind, triggering the hint he had left for Chaganbayar beforehand:

"Relax your mind."

But the resistance that Li Fei felt did not decrease at all.

He frowned slightly and continued to descend until the resistance became so great that he had to resort to 'force'.

"Chaganbayar!"

Li Fei stopped descending. "You need to think this through. If this matter cannot be investigated thoroughly, neither I nor Sect Leader Taiyu can trust you."

After a short while, a gloomy voice came from all directions:
"Your Excellency, can't you give me a way out?"

Li Fei narrowed his eyes: "You really do have a problem."

"No matter who I am, I have been reincarnated, and the grudges of the past life should be wiped clean!"

"Ah."

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person! Why can't you give me a chance?"

"When you wantonly slaughter innocent people, do you give them a chance?"

"This world is a dog-eat-dog world. Haven't you ever had the blood of innocent people on your hands? I don't believe you've been as pure as a white lotus all this time!"

"I don't need to explain to you."

"Your Excellency, Duke!" Chagan Bayar's tone turned low and pleading.

"Give me a way out, I'm still useful! I'm willing to sign a covenant with you, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master, serve you, and serve the Great Blue Dynasty!"

"I can become a spy planted by the Great Blue Dynasty in the Great Luo Sect, and in the future, I will monitor Tai Yu's every move!"

"When I return to the top and gain power in the Great Luo Sect, I can make the Great Luo Sect completely submit to the Great Blue Dynasty!"

"Keep me here, I'm sure I can play a very important role!"

Li Fei suddenly rushed out of the River of Oblivion without communicating with Chaganbayar.

"Your Excellency the Duke!"

"Li Fei—"

Amid Chaganbayar's unwilling roar, Li Fei withdrew from his subconscious.

When the two came to their senses in the real world, Li Fei was expressionless, while Chaganbayar had a ferocious expression.

Li Fei shook his head at Tai Yu.

Taiyu sighed.

Neither Li Fei nor he could negotiate with the former Qilian Guanshi or the Styx Ancestor, no matter what benefits they could bring.

Taiyu was solely focused on maintaining stability.

As for Li Fei, his temperament dictates that he would never tolerate someone committing heinous crimes and then having the opportunity to make amends.

Merits are merits, and faults are faults.

"Taiyu is the leader, it's me."

Chaganbayar suddenly turned to look at Taiyu, trying to persuade him.

But before he could finish speaking, Taiyu waved his sleeve, and Chaganbayar's body was enveloped by a powerful force, breaking apart inch by inch until it finally turned into dust!
A generation of heroes has come to an end.

"I wonder if he is the reincarnation of Qilian Guanshi, or the reincarnation of the Styx Ancestor?"

Ning Qingman said from the side.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Chaganbayar never gave the real answer.

Li Fei said calmly, "It doesn't matter anymore, they're all dead anyway."

The era that belonged to these people has completely come to an end.

Ning Qingman: "Shall we go straight to the Abyss next?"

Li Fei looked at Tai Yu.

Taiyu: "I have made all the arrangements for the Great Luo Sect. We can set off immediately."

Li Fei offered to help him obtain the secret method for absorbing the Dao principles of a ninth-grade exotic beast, so he felt embarrassed to simply sit back and reap the benefits.

So it was agreed beforehand that he would also go to the Abyss with him.

"Let's go then."

Li Fei summoned his flying boat, and the three of them boarded it together.

A streak of light rose into the sky from outside Daluo Town, heading north.

The Abyss, 20,000 meters below.

Bone Li, covered in tentacles, was using the [Heart of Terror] divine power as its core, supplemented by other divine powers, and combined with the power of his domain to unleash his most proficient mental attack—

At the tips of hundreds of towering, pillar-like tentacles, mouths opened wide, and surging mental power, like a death tsunami, rushed into the void ahead!

On the other side, four thick, mountain-like arms stretched directly into the void, stirring up a void storm.

This is Gu Yan's arm.

Another enormous, jet-black spike, like a venomous dragon, burrowed into the void; this was the tail spike of the Ascending Continent.

However, the combined attack of the three ninth-grade beasts missed its target.

In the void, the enormous body of the Void Pool Clam was clearly there, yet it seemed as if it did not exist.

Its giant fins, like an axe that splits the heavens and earth, cleaved out of the void and continuously struck the three ninth-grade strange beasts!
It can hit three strange beasts, but the three strange beasts cannot attack it.

This is the wonder of the principle of "selflessness"!

After a fierce battle, all three ninth-grade beasts were badly injured, while the Void Pool Clam was unharmed.

However, these injuries are not fatal to a ninth-grade beast, and it will recover quickly.

"So, are you convinced now?"

The voice of Xu Chihan came from the void.

That day, after leaving the Western Kingdom, it returned directly to the Abyss and immediately sought out the three ninth-grade beasts beneath the Abyss, intending to subdue them!
There were originally six Rank 9 beings in the Abyss. If these six Rank 9 beings were willing to join forces, they would be able to gain a foothold in the human world, and might even have the opportunity to kill a top expert and try to 'devour the Dao'!
However, the six Venerables and nine ranks are scheming against each other, and none of them are willing to submit to the others, so it is impossible for them to sincerely join forces.

That's why they've always hidden in the abyss.

Now that Xu Chi Han has successfully obtained the Dao Principles, his strength has greatly increased, and he has also developed ambitions.

It wants to subdue the remaining three ninth-rank beings and venture into the human world together!

However, Gu Li, Gu Yan, and Sheng Lu were unlikely to obediently listen to him.

As a result, more than one battle broke out between the various parties during this period.

In a one-on-one fight, even the three ninth-grade exotic beasts were no match for Xuchi Han.

Even if the three of them joined forces, they couldn't do anything to the Xuchi Clam.

"You didn't beat us either!"

Gu Yan roared angrily, still unconvinced.

While the three of them combined might not be able to defeat the Void Pool Clam, the opponent was equally unable to defeat them.

"I'm taking on three opponents single-handedly, what else do you have to say?"

Xu Chihan snorted coldly.

"Are you content to stay in this godforsaken place forever? Don't you want to possess the Dao principles like me?"

Gu Li: "Unlike you, we can't absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the void. If we leave the Abyss, it will be difficult for the three of us to maintain a normal life."

The reason these ninth-grade beasts chose the Abyss was not only because the Abyss was far from the human world, but also because the Yin energy deep within the Abyss was suitable for their survival.

Their bodies are enormous, and their daily wear and tear is equally enormous. If they were to move to another place, they would indeed struggle to survive.

"You should go and see the human world."

Xu Chihan had a plan for this: "Humans today are very different from those of hundreds of years ago. The pills they refine are very mysterious and can sustain our daily needs."

Sheng Lu: "If we go out with you, does that mean we have to listen to you?"

Xu Chihan: "Of course, I am the strongest, so I should be the master!"

This principle is the ultimate truth in the world of mythical beasts.

Gu Yan: "Don't even think about it!"

Gu Li: "It's not that it's impossible."

Gu Yan: "You?!"

Seeing that Gu Li was about to agree, Xu Chihan immediately said:
"Very good, Gu Li, you are the first to agree to follow me, and from now on I will be the first to grant you the Dao Principles!"

Sheng Lu: "Judging from your tone, it's as if the strongest humans are like prey, at our mercy."

Xu Chihan: "Hmph, the intensity of human infighting is even more severe than that of us beasts! I personally witnessed six peak-level beings die in a battle! They are not united, just like us, so as long as we join forces, we have a great chance."

Six peak-level experts died at once?

These words tempted the three ninth-rank mythical beasts.

If the three of them had been present at the time, could they have completed the 'swallowing the Dao' just like Xuchi Han?
"Tell me your plan. If it's reasonable, I might follow you and leave."

Sheng Lu said.

It also loosened up.

Xu Chihan was overjoyed and was about to reveal the plan he had devised in advance.

Just then, a voice, like a divine sword, pierced through layers of obstacles and reached all the way down to 20,000 meters below the abyss:

"Xu Chi Han! An old friend has come to visit, come out and see me—"
