231: Gou Dao inheritance

“Hehe, aren't you arrogant?”

“Don't be nervous, I still prefer your rebellious look from before.”

“Satisfying, this fatty finally chickened out!”

“Exactly, otherwise, my Dao Heart would have been affected.”

Originally, at a place of Opportunity like the Cultivation Method Cliff, Martial Artists should be in a competitive relationship.

But because of the fatty, by a strange coincidence, everyone actually started to unite against a common enemy.

“Everyone, that's enough for the fuss, our primary goal is still to find the Legacy most suitable for ourselves.”

Shen Xi naturally couldn't just watch the fatty get dealt with, but he also knew that the other party had brought this upon himself by attracting too much hatred. Therefore, his tone of voice softened considerably.

“Alright, alright, this guy has chickened out too, let's each go find our own Legacy!”

“Exactly, let's put an end to this matter.”

“We should also hurry, we've already wasted half a day on the way here, and the Cultivation Method Cliff is only open for three days!”

“Agreed, everyone disperse!”

It was clear that these Martial Artists didn't really want to fight, especially with Shen Xi present.

They were just letting off some Qi verbally.

Now that the fatty had chickened out and Shen Xi had stepped in to smooth things over, the matter naturally became trivialized.

With that, the Martial Artists dispersed and began to climb the Cultivation Method Cliff.

“Brother Shen, you still have a lot of Face.”

“Master, when will I be able to reach your level?”

“Xi Zi, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise, your brother would have suffered greatly!”

Seeing the Martial Artists leave, the fatty and the Two People couldn't help but speak.

If Shen Xi hadn't been there, this matter would definitely not have ended peacefully.

Not to mention how much hatred the fatty and Liu Linsheng had attracted earlier.

Just the two Dian Ling Realm Legacies they obtained were enough to drive these Martial Artists crazy.

The main reason the matter could be concluded so simply was because of Shen Xi.

In the Face of absolute strength, these Martial Artists naturally wouldn't risk their lives.

Although they were right, if they all swarmed him, Shen Xi definitely wouldn't be able to stop them all, even with Liu Yiyi and the others, they couldn't do it, the number of Martial Artists present was simply too large.

But who could guarantee that the one stopped wouldn't be themselves?

Exactly, that was the crux of the problem.

If they really fought, Shen Xi and his group would definitely choose to fight to the death, striking without mercy, aiming to kill, focusing on speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

The fate of the Martial Artists who were stopped would naturally be self-evident; only death awaited them.

This also meant that if they really attacked the fatty and Liu Linsheng, many people would die.

Who could guarantee they wouldn't be one of them?

The risk was too great, which was why the Martial Artists became more amenable; everyone knew it wasn't worth it.

“You two! Be a little more low-key, don't you understand the principle of quietly making a fortune?”

Shen Xi said helplessly.

Weak yet loves to play, that described the fatty and the Two People.

This forced him to take time and energy to tell them a story.

A story about a man from his previous life who became famous across the internet, known for his 'Gou Dao' (way of being low-key/cautious), and ultimately dominated the world.

Shen Xi spoke as he climbed.

Everyone listened with great interest, not expecting that the Dao of Gou could be so profound, and not just simply being cowardly.

“So that's how it is, to become a peerless expert, one must first learn to conceal one's strength.”

“It seems we were too high-profile, we absolutely cannot be like this, we must act cautiously, and never make a move unless the chances of success are one hundred percent.”

“Exactly, even ninety-nine point seven percent is too risky.”

Hearing their discussions, Shen Xi wondered if he had overcorrected?

He solved their arrogant problem, but ended up teaching a few old schemers?

“The Dao of Gou is profoundly mysterious, I was too impatient, some things cannot be achieved by being impatient.”

What Shen Xi didn't expect was that Situ Ye developed a strong interest in the story he told.

Not only that, he also had some different insights.

This greatly pleased Shen Xi.

When he left the Seal, he was thinking about how to persuade Situ Ye to maintain a calm mindset and not be too hasty, and he didn't expect it to happen by a strange coincidence.

And the surprises didn't stop there.

Just as Situ Ye was muttering to himself, a stream of light shot down from halfway up the mountain.

Along the way, the Martial Artists all noticed this stream of light and instinctively tried to intercept it.

Everyone knew that a stream of light from halfway up the mountain represented at least a Zhu Tai Realm Legacy, and possibly even a Detachment Realm Legacy.

This level of Legacy was rare and highly sought after, even Secluded Factions would be tempted, after all, the leaders of Secluded Factions were only in the Detachment Realm.

However, no matter how the Martial Artists tried to intercept it, they couldn't stop the stream of light.

This stream of light seemed to have already chosen its successor, falling unimpeded onto Situ Ye's head.

Seeing this, Shen Xi thoughtfully glanced at the stream of light.

The anomaly appeared because he mentioned the Dao of Gou, could this Legacy be... The Fusion proceeded smoothly.

And no one disturbed him.

Some powerful experts detected that this was a Zhu Tai Realm Legacy.

This level of Legacy wasn't worth them falling out with Shen Xi over.

Unless it was a Detachment Realm Legacy, otherwise, it wouldn't be to the point of fighting to the death.

As for the weaker Martial Artists, they simply didn't have the ability to attack Shen Xi.

“The Dao of Gou is indeed a profound path.”

After the Fusion ended, Situ Ye finally opened his eyes.

One sentence confirmed Shen Xi's guess.

This was indeed the Legacy left by a Zhu Tai Realm expert who had also taken the Dao of Gou to the extreme.

It certainly included how to 'Gou' and how to become stronger through 'Gou'.

The reason Situ Ye was chosen was also because he had different insights into the Dao of Gou and gained the Legacy's recognition.

“This is seriously possible...”

Shen Xi was a little speechless.

Who would have thought that Situ Ye obtained the Legacy in such a bizarre way?

This should be considered the most peculiar method among them all, right?

“Situ Ye, it seems the Dao of Gou is indeed profound and unfathomable, let's discuss and exchange more.”

“Exactly, I also have some insights and experiences regarding the Dao of Gou, let's share them.”

Beside them, Liu Linsheng and the fatty immediately went over and began whispering with Situ Ye.

These three, in a sense, could be said to be kindred spirits, with more common topics.

Now, with the addition of the Dao of Gou... Shen Xi vaguely had a bad premonition.

He seemed to see a future day when three old schemers would gather together, secretly plotting against others.
