166: Chapter 165 The Old Man's Humanity

Three months later.

Wang Yuan arrived at Ye Xiu's place of Cultivation.

Looking at the black barbs covering the ground, his first thought was that this guy was Cultivating some kind of Demonic Technique.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

When people face unknown things, they always involuntarily have a fearful thought.

This is human nature.

Wang Yuan suppressed the fear in his heart, collected himself slightly, and then spoke softly: "Mr. Ye, there is news from the Research Center for Abnormal Humans about the person you are looking for."

"Lead the way."

Ye Xiu slowly opened his eyes.

A golden light streaked across the mountaintop, extremely blinding.

As he stood up, the black barbs beside him that had been drained dry turned into powder and vanished from the mountaintop.

This scene made Wang Yuan involuntarily step back a few paces.

As the two descended the mountain, a rather luxurious black sedan was already parked at the foot.

"Hehe... Not bad, you didn't drive your 'divine minivan' this time."

"Mr. Ye, you joke. The previous incident was indeed due to poor arrangements by the research institute. Please."

Wang Yuan said, taking the initiative to open the rear car door.

With a roar, the vehicle sped up quickly, racing along the road like an arrow.

"Mr. Ye, the work at the research institute has seen a major Breakthrough since the Demon Girl joined."

Inside the car, Wang Yuan steered the wheel while recounting the changes of the past three months.

Hearing this, Ye Xiu said indifferently: "A Breakthrough? Researching the project on gods?"

"Yes, the Demon Girl brought a new method and changed the direction of our research."

"Oh? What method?"

"The method of becoming a god. It is said that as long as one has sufficient talent, one can rely on the Demon Girl's method to obtain a terrifying power."

"Hehe... She certainly knows how to borrow strength."

Ye Xiu smiled.

The Demon Girl's method was undoubtedly the Heavenly Emperor Sutra he had taught her.

Using the Daxia Research Institute to Cultivate the Heavenly Emperor Sutra was quite a good idea.

After all, those involved in research were indeed talented; they might actually research something out of it.

Whoosh... The wind outside was quite fierce.

Wang Yuan closed the car window and turned on the air conditioning before continuing: "Mr. Ye, the Demon Girl's status in the research institute is quite high now. If it weren't for her speaking up, your matter probably wouldn't have been resolved so quickly."

"Is that so? It seems that martial might is not very valued in this era."

"No matter how strong individual martial might is, it is only individual. Under the 'Ultimate Justice,' human power is still too insignificant."

"Ultimate Justice? Mushroom bombs? Hehe... You all just haven't seen true power."

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly, noncommittal about this statement.

When the Main World first began to recover, Daxia's mushroom bombs were completely useless.

They were more than enough to deal with humans, but they were of little use when facing some thick-skinned creatures.

Back when the Yao Race attacked the city, the military had considered this point, which is why they had delayed using the mushroom bombs.

During the idle chat, the vehicle soon arrived at the Research Center for Abnormal Humans.

Alice, who had been discussing topics with several researchers, seemed to sense something after the vehicle entered the research institute's area.

After offering a few apologies, she put down her research and went to the lobby alone to wait.

Only a few minutes passed.

Ye Xiu had walked into the lobby from outside.

Looking at Alice walking toward him, a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

In just three months, this Western woman with 100% brain development had already entered the introductory stage, and her strength had grown considerably.

"Not bad, you have actually reached the introductory stage."

"This is all thanks to Mr. Ye's method of becoming a god. Come, this way please."

Alice smiled. The more she Cultivated, the more curious she became about the young man before her.

The method of becoming a god.

What she was Cultivating was truly a method of becoming a god.

As she officially stepped into the path of Cultivation, that vast, abyss-like power was even more terrifying than the superpowers she had Awakened.

Even an ordinary person without any superpowers could obtain extremely formidable power through step-by-step Cultivation; such a method of practice was simply a miracle.

With this method, humanity... becoming a god might not be an extravagant hope.

Watching Alice leading the way, Ye Xiu smiled.

He didn't say much, just followed behind her toward the lounge.

"Mr. Ye, the person you are looking for has been found, but it might be troublesome to bring him here."

After entering the lounge, Alice took out the prepared information and handed it to Ye Xiu.

After taking the information, Ye Xiu quickly flipped through it.

As he read the material, his expression became somewhat strange.

A Daoist hermit.

Rumored to have lived for three hundred years.

This old man's personality consciousness was actually so extraordinary; he had underestimated him before.

"The place of seclusion cannot even be truly entered by S-rank superpowered individuals."

It seems there is a barrier-type Formation present.

After closing the file, Ye Xiu asked slowly: "Besides this regional information, is there any information on the old man himself?"

Alice shook her head slightly: "No, this old man is very mysterious. The last time he appeared was during the war era a hundred years ago. We only know his place of seclusion, but we have no way of knowing if he is actually inside."

A Daoist, a hermit.

Ye Xiu pondered for a moment and decided to go see for himself.

The old man in the passage was able to transcend this world; his personality consciousness might know quite a bit of intelligence regarding the Lord of Guixu.

This trip might yield unexpected gains.

After clarifying the location, Ye Xiu did not stay at the research institute for long.

After understanding the progress of the research on the Heavenly Emperor Sutra, he stepped directly into the air and disappeared into the sky.

An unnamed mountain range.

Stretching for eight hundred miles, countless peaks stood between heaven and earth, forming this endless expanse of hundred thousand mountains.

In a certain mountain covered by mist, a young man stood in the air, looking at the mist before him with a trace of surprise.

"I didn't expect that a left-behind personality consciousness could actually achieve this level."

Ye Xiu sighed with some emotion.

The mist before him was a rather powerful barrier; such a barrier had almost touched the level of the Dao.

In the world of the Lord of Guixu, all Dao are infinitely suppressed.

To be able to achieve this, if his strength were to leave this world, it would likely be amplified to an unimaginable degree.

His figure slowly entered the mist.

The world began to turn upside down, and scenes of illusions appeared before his eyes.

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly.

Immortal power surged within his body, instantly concealing all his aura.

With the concealment of the immortal power, the scene that was originally full of mist immediately began to clear up.

On the main peak, an old man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, absorbing the power of heaven and earth.

Colored clouds cascaded like a waterfall; vast, boundless, and endless power surged into his body as the old man exercised his technique.

When Ye Xiu walked out of the mist, the old man stopped his Cultivation and slowly opened his eyes.

He stared at the suddenly arrived young man, a trace of doubt appearing in his brilliant, divine eyes.

"Little friend, where do you come from?"

"The power of heaven and earth. Senior's strength is truly terrifying."

Ye Xiu arrived on the main peak and couldn't help but exclaim.

Even if it was just a personality consciousness, this old man had already condensed the power of heaven and earth within his body; he had clearly reached the Supreme Realm long ago.

Hearing Ye Xiu's exclamation, the old man was stunned.

Then, a smile appeared: "As expected, it still couldn't wait."

"Does Senior know why I have come?"

"Naturally, I know. However, this old man will not go out. Little friend, do not get too involved with it."

"It? Does Senior mean your main consciousness?"

"Consciousness does not distinguish between primary and secondary. Little friend, this world needs this old man's existence; this old man will not leave."

The old man looked at Ye Xiu, a trace of nostalgia in his brilliant, divine eyes.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

Looking at the old man sitting cross-legged, he pondered for a few seconds before saying: "Senior, this place is nothing but a cage. Why suffer through this endless Reincarnation?"
