Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

“If you really kill him, you might not be able to find any trace of the Heavenly Dao.”

A voice suddenly appeared, somewhat familiar, but more importantly, the finger stopped abruptly.

"It's you?"

A murderous intent surged within the Milky Way, seemingly familiar to the Wise Old Man as well.

"Was it you who was secretly watching me when I first entered the Central Continent?"

The wise man replied calmly, “No mistake, it was indeed me. Actually, it wasn’t just you; another person also sent someone, and I know that too.”

"You just want to confirm the state of the Heavenly Dao, don't you?"

The old man's tone was mocking, which stirred the Milky Way.

"You are the one who deceived my disciple into embarking on a different path!"

The Heavenly River was suddenly filled with murderous intent, spreading in all directions. The people on the huge stone platform felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and were suddenly chilled to the bone.

The immense pressure was so great that no one dared to make the slightest move.

The spirit was still shaken. Even in its sea of ​​consciousness, it could still sense that immense pressure, and it was already shrinking back and cursing incessantly.

The criticism they were naturally directed at the Way of Heaven.

"Damn it, such a huge mess, are they planning to let the two of us deal with such an opponent? Is the Heavenly Dao even human?"

"The Way of Heaven is not human."

Han Yu sighed helplessly in agreement, his words sounding both like an explanation and an insult.

Of course, there's more helplessness regarding the situation facing Zhongzhou; even these old-timers have come out.

He simply couldn't save her.

Not only is he beyond saving, but if the wise old man's verbal attacks are even more venomous, he'll surely die even faster.

Now they are truly in a precarious situation, barely able to protect themselves.

“Your path is too narrow. Only those four idiots can follow you. But your most outstanding disciple is the smartest. I don’t need to deceive him. I just need to show him the Great Dao.”

The wise old man's voice came slowly and deliberately. Han Yu and the artifact spirit felt a jolt in their hearts. Here it comes again, the wise old man's verbal persuasion is at it again.

Little did they know that as soon as the wise old man spoke, apart from the old Taoist priest who was somewhat better off, the faces of Di Liuxin and the other two turned as red as pig liver.

He was probably angry.

However, the wise man's voice did not disappear; instead, it continued to speak.

"You and He attempted to steal the power of the rules from the Heavenly Dao, and these powers should have been the end of each path. But you were too greedy. The Heavenly Dao was willing to give the Divine Dao Realm a chance to advance, but you refused to give it up."

“You’re even willing to give them the smallest bit of profit, because you’re afraid of repeating the same mistakes in the future, aren’t you?”

"So your most valued disciple knows that following your path will only lead to death. You underestimate the ambition of a brilliant cultivator."

The Milky Way suddenly exploded, and surging waves rushed towards Han Yu, even crashing over his head. Han Yu's body immediately felt excruciating pain, as if it were about to be disintegrated.

The wise man remained calm and composed, repeating his initial words with a sigh.

"Everyone knows he's a puppet of the Heavenly Dao. Don't you think about it? If you really killed him, would the Heavenly Dao still be willing to appear? As long as the Heavenly Dao doesn't appear, you can only occupy the Central Continent in vain. That position will never be available for you to covet again."

Han Yu's body, which had been swept into the air, suddenly crashed down again. After gritting his teeth, he was horrified to find that his flesh was now a bloody mess.

This is a terrible thing.

It was even more terrifying than the immense pressure he faced from the other party.

His physical body was arguably his trump card; from the very beginning, he relied on it to climb the ranks.

Even if they encounter various methods to damage his physical body along the way, they might not be able to destroy him into this state so easily.

It could be said that the other party was stopped by the wise old man's persuasive words; otherwise, he might have really died under the Milky Way.

Are things from the Heavenly Dao really this terrifying?
"I don't need the position of the Heavenly Dao to break through to the same level as the Heavenly Dao."

The surging Milky Way brought forth a chilling atmosphere.

"But you are never the Way of Heaven. You will always have flaws, and eventually someone will take your place in the endless years."

The wise old man's verbal skills never disappointed; with a few words, he completely flattened Tianhe.

At this moment, the Milky Way is calm and still, as if it is deep in thought or pondering.

The entire stone platform fell silent, as this was a level beyond their comprehension. They could understand every word of their conversation, yet they couldn't comprehend the meaning behind it.

After a long silence, the icy voice suddenly let out a cold laugh, "So you want me to let him go?"

"Then why don't you kill him, right now!"

"The only trace left by the Heavenly Dao is this kid. You can only gamble on whether this kid can make the Heavenly Dao reappear. Otherwise, you will be fighting with another person for endless years in the Central Continent."

The wise old man chuckled, seemingly having his opponent completely under his control.

But the other party was, after all, a celestial being, not one of the living beings in the Central Continent today. He was once the most beloved celestial being of heaven and earth, and in terms of wisdom, he was one of the founders of the cultivation system.

In terms of strategy, He devised the ways of Heaven.

In terms of strength, it is so powerful that it can rival the very heavens. Trying to rely on words alone seems unlikely to be effective.

"So, giving him a chance also gives Heaven a chance?"

Tianhe's cold words were full of sarcasm.

Now it was Han Yu's turn to fall silent. After a long while, when the wise man spoke again, it was a bombshell.

"I suspect that the Heavenly Dao is hidden in the Central Continent. You can only make the Heavenly Dao appear by using it. As long as the Heavenly Dao doesn't appear, you can forget about killing it!"

Blanch!
Han Yu's expression was extremely strange, and he couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Sir, which side are you from?"

Does this count as giving the other side advice?

Furthermore, the old strategist, Zhi Sou, is so secretive. He clearly has a guess about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao, yet he never reveals it.

The Heavenly Dao has actually left the Soul Realm and is hiding in the Central Continent!

This is a very big deal.

Just as he had previously suspected, Han Yu went through all the suspects again.

Bottle, artifact spirit?
Finally, like the old Taoist priest, he began to suspect the spirit of the artifact.

After all, there are too many suspicious aspects to the artifact spirit. It is called an artifact spirit, but it doesn't look like one at all.

Besides, which artifact spirit can possess the power of rules? I doubt even a bottle possesses that power.

Last time in the Soul Realm, when the bottle beat up the Wise Old Man, it was never seen to use any other power.

While Han Yu was lost in thought, a cold laugh finally came from within the Heavenly River.

"I am not afraid of the will of Heaven, so let it run wild!"

Before Han Yu knew what was happening, the wise old man had already whispered something in his ear.

"Hurry up and run away with your men!"

Han Yu thought he had misheard, but that was enough?
With the Wise Old Man's persuasive skills so strong, how can he possibly escape unscathed after he's been causing chaos, burning, killing, smashing, and destroying things here, leaving the Heavenly Dao Sect in dire straits?

Even after being urged repeatedly, Han Yu still found it hard to imagine, but he still tentatively took flight with the old man's guidance.

Di Liuxin and the other two were about to make a move when a voice came again, but it was not him, but Wuxian.

"Let them go."

His voice carried an air of unyielding authority.

Even after leaving overseas, Han Yu was still completely confused.

Why were they willing to let me go?

The question was naturally directed at the Wise Old Man.

But after asking, there was no response from the side. After a long while, Han Yu's face darkened.

"Look at all these injuries I have now, it's all thanks to you guys. If you keep pretending to be deaf and dumb, I'm quitting. Let whoever wants to do it do it."

Perhaps it was only after seeing Han Yu's disheveled and battered appearance that the wise old man's voice finally came.

His words were full of helplessness as he said, "Because the only means Heaven can currently see is you, killing you would not benefit them."

"If you don't kill me, aren't you afraid I'll continue to cause trouble?"

Han Yu didn't believe that the other party was so kind as to let them go so easily.

"They fear the emergence of the Heavenly Dao, but they also need it to emerge."

"If the Heavenly Dao is not completely annihilated, no one can ascend to that position."

Ultimately, the wise man was betting on the other party's greed, or rather, the allure of the Heavenly Dao position.

"If I cause trouble again, will they be too afraid to kill me?"

Han Yu suddenly realized, if that were the case, wouldn't he be like a piece of meat that couldn't be killed?
"Then you can test their limits, it's not my life anyway."

The wise old man mocked him.

Only Han Yu would dare to think of something so reckless.

Sometimes, the wise old man admired Han Yu's fearless and ruthless spirit, or to put it bluntly, his recklessness!

He didn't know what had gotten into Heaven that made it choose such a guy.

Han Yu, unaware of the wise old man's thoughts, quickly asked the second question, which was also crucial.

"Tell me, where exactly is the Heavenly Dao hiding in the Central Continent? Is it someone close to me?"

The wise man remained silent for a moment, then sighed and spoke.

"You really want to know?"
