He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Xu Yi had no intention of inquiring about the siblings. If he could hear Zhang Qiuyu's thoughts, he would definitely say it was unnecessary. Xu Yi didn't have that many thoughts; he just wanted to learn more about the village.

As for Zhang Qiuyu's appearance, he hadn't expected it, which was a pleasant surprise. However, it also gave him some ability to protect himself in advance.

When Xu Yi arrived at this Village of Passing Water, he was already prepared to burn through his lifespan.

By burning his lifespan and using incantations to exorcise evil, Xu Yi might be able to obtain more clues and gain a sliver of hope—this was Xu Yi's original plan.

But now it seems that this is no longer necessary. As long as he can continuously absorb some of the predicted lifespan, he can become even stronger.

The most urgent task now is to find some "evil" monsters or abnormal people, who can become his nourishment.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this village is strange, as you probably know." Xu Yi didn't want to waste any more time on small talk; he wanted to get straight to the point.

"Yes, indeed, but it's relatively safe." Zhang Qiuyu pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Liu the Blind Man at the village entrance is the most abnormal person here, but Zhang Qiuyu hasn't investigated him in recent years because she's still recovering from her injuries."

Given her current strength, Zhang Qiuyu didn't want to clash with anyone. She just wanted to stay here peacefully, recover from her injuries, and then lead her younger brother back to fight her way back.

However, after so long, her injuries have not improved at all. At this rate, it's impossible to know when she will be able to fully recover her strength. This is Zhang Qiuyu's biggest worry right now.

However, what Zhang Qiuyu didn't know was that her younger brother had actually sought help from Blind Liu. If Zhang Qiuyu knew about this, she would probably be furious. She didn't want anyone to know about her serious injury.

But her brother immediately told outsiders about her injuries.

"The only person we need to be careful about in this village is Blind Liu. Fellow Daoist Xu, my own condition is still quite bad, making it inconvenient for me to investigate anything, so I don't know much about this Blind Liu."

Zhang Qiuyu thought for a moment, and then, as if she had thought of something, she continued, "Liu the Blind Man and the Snake God should be related. This is not a guess, it's true."

"Snake God?" Xu Yi asked in confusion. This was the key point he wanted to focus on. He had heard of the Snake God before, but he didn't expect a cultivator to use such a name. Snake God, it seems this guy has real skills.

"Yes, the Snake God. He is a wild god in the human realm. I don't know his exact origins, but he can turn people into so-called 'Seekers of the Dao.' He is quite powerful as a wild god." Zhang Qiuyu said, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. There are many demons in the human realm because the spiritual energy here is too thin compared to the other two realms. However, this place is also a place where the sun and yin are extremely strong, which has given rise to many demonic beasts.

They cultivate themselves by relying on the power of the moon and the sun.

The human realm has the fewest cultivators, but the celestial realm still sends many cultivators down to the human realm to slay demons every year.

The reason for this is to prevent the demons in the human realm from becoming too unrestrained. With the suppression of the celestial cultivators, things will be much better. However, the law enforcers sent down by the celestial realm are always extremely ruthless, and they are only there to carry out their missions. These people are powerful enough to roam freely throughout the human realm.

The serpent god can assimilate believers; with this strength, it is probably already a powerful demon king. However, its cultivation method is very special to Zhang Qiuyu. Most other demons rely on their own hard power to cultivate and overcome layers of heavenly tribulations.

This serpent god's cultivation method is very strange. He can harvest various faiths, which makes it faster and easier for him to overcome tribulations.

It seems this snake has blazed a new path to immortality.

"However, it's worth mentioning that the place we are currently in should be an area under the influence of the serpent god's worship."

"Only when he is under the influence of his faith can those who have lost their faith be transformed into 'seekers of the Way'."

"And those who seek the Way also have their own thoughts, but these beings are really rare."

"In short, I've never seen him before, and I'm not sure about Liu the Blind's exact cultivation level."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, if you're trying to find out something, given your current cultivation level, you should probably give up."

When Zhang Qiuyu said this, she didn't mean it sarcastically. She was just reminding Xu Yi that there was no need to risk his life for something.

She continued, "Fellow Daoist Xu, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am. I don't really know what kind of temper this Blind Liu has, but he is wary of my cultivation level, which is why he hasn't caused me any trouble all these years."

"However, I didn't have much contact with him, and we didn't have much interaction."

"I don't know this person very well, Fellow Daoist Xu. You currently have no cultivation, so I sincerely do not recommend that you take the risk."

Liu the Blind is skilled in divination, and this is exactly what Zhang Qiuyu is worried about. She is afraid that Liu the Blind can deduce her fate through Xu Yi, who went to his death. If that is the case, then she is too innocent.

After listening to Zhang Qiuyu's words, Xu Yi also fell into deep thought. What does the Seeker of the Dao have to do with the truth he wants to pursue, and what about the so-called human realm and heavenly realm?

What kind of new map is this? Xu Yi was a little puzzled. Why had he never heard of a so-called Celestial Realm in his original world? It seemed that there were still many secrets he didn't know.

Seekers of the Dao and Wild Gods are relatively easy to kill. Xu Yi has an idea to hunt these things.

It seems there's no need to prepare any new short sword for Zhang Erniu. He has a sister with cultivation, so he doesn't need to worry about anything. It's probably already prepared.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Zhang. I have another question: what kind of person would fall into becoming a seeker of the Dao?"

Xu Yi asked this question not out of curiosity, but because he wanted to have another excuse to hunt down Dao seekers. Dao seekers had no cultivation, so they were the easiest targets for him to bully at the moment.

Most importantly, the seeker of the Dao is not human, at least not in human form now, so killing him is no burden for him.

"There's actually a pattern to this. Based on my observations these past few days, generally only people who have become wicked to a certain degree lose their faith and transform into seekers of the Way on the night of the full moon."

That's indeed the case. Although Zhang Qiuyu doesn't concern himself with village affairs, he still pays attention to this matter. Not all seekers of the Dao will fall into depravity; there are certain conditions.

Having stayed in the Village of Passing Water for so long, he had figured out some patterns: only the wicked and evil would become seekers of the Way, only to be doomed forever.
