Master of Strange Dao Chapter 421

"Is the village chief in danger?" Yu Ziqing picked up on the undertones.

"Yes, he advanced too quickly. Even if he tried his best to suppress it, it still happened too fast. However, his advancement was so rapid, yet his accumulation remained so robust, which I completely do not understand.

But I do know that, eventually, such an overly robust accumulation, coupled with his rapid advancement, will one day become his greatest drawback.

When that time comes, if he does not advance, if he does not complete a release, if he does not make the essential leap from a beast of burden to a Dragon Elephant, he might be in great danger."

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll take this matter to heart.

Not to mention, finding a Ninth Tier Cultivator who wants to kill me shouldn't be too difficult."

Yu Ziqing was quite confident about this.

Because he could already list one or two, the hard part was how to get a Ninth Tier Cultivator to actually make a move against him.

Of course, Yu Ziqing wasn't worried about this.

The things he was currently doing, the enemies he was making, were enough; all that was missing was the right opportunity.

When he became stronger, when he had enough power to survive a pursuit without being killed, that was when he'd deal with this matter.

"You seem to have offended quite a few Ninth Tier Strongs. You also seem quite proud of it?" Yang couldn't help but curse.

"Not so many, but when you're doing certain things, if you're on good terms with one side, you naturally offend the other, or even just being alive is standing in someone else's way, so I can't do anything about that."

"You better be careful, don't actually die out there."

"I know. If things go wrong, I'll just run away. This time I've exchanged for a Void Escape Scroll and a Broken Tile, and that's just the first batch—they said there's more to come."

Yang opened his mouth to speak but ended up saying nothing.

He wanted to say, what do you need so many escape treasures for, but then he thought about it, being weak means you should prioritize saving your life, so there was nothing wrong with that.

Unable to voice his old grouses, Yang stretched his sheep face and simply turned and walked away.

Yu Ziqing, puzzled, glanced at Cece beside him.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No, young master is right, Elder Yang just didn't want to deal with young master."

"Hahaha, let's go. We should hurry and deliver the translations to the giant. Those books are not few and the script is different from ancient times, it wouldn't be good if the translator died."

Having left Jinlan Mountain, Yu Ziqing concealed his powers the entire way, using only his physical strength as he traveled on the ground.

Such an unshielded approach actually minimized the chances of being discovered.

Most detection Dharma Methods actually trace the remnants of power left behind, the fluctuations produced when various powers are used.

And when tracking Body Cultivators, most of the time there is no need for tracking—the faster the speed, the louder the noise...

High Tier Body Cultivation giants, a short-term burst of speed, breaking the sound barrier, is all standard practice, so it would be strange if they didn't make much noise.

Of course, this is only limited to pure physical Divine Power; it doesn't include Body Cultivation Divine Skills or Secret Techniques.

Yu Ziqing proceeded with Cece without rushing. They moved through the wilderness instead of going to the Abyssal Rift at the far eastern edge of Dazhen, reaching the border between the western part of Dali and North West Qian.

This godforsaken place remained as desolate as before.

There was no difference from the last time he left; not even traces of wild animal activity were present.

Yu Ziqing surveyed the area, confirmed there were no traps, and then took Cece into the Abyssal Rift.

Once in the depths where all the mountains were bare, everything appeared unchanged. Yu Ziqing's Yin God opened its eyes, suspended in the air, and inspected the surroundings.

It found only camouflaged Formations, nothing else.

Returning to the cave, Yu Ziqing finally noticed a change.

The Formation set up by a few people was not dismantled at that time. Now, these Formations bore the signs of intrusion.

Clearly, someone else had come here to investigate afterward; they probably didn't find anything either.

In such a place, even the Shadow Department's Shadow Great Mirror would not be very useful. There were many who had stayed here for a long time, coupled with the lingering scent of toxins, and the various Seals, it would be shocking if they could discover anything.

Yu Ziqing approached the dark crevice, climbed down the rock wall first, and took a look at the rune on the wall.

It was still maintaining its dim state, which meant probably no one had gone in again.

Climbing back to the edge of the crevice, Yu Ziqing took out all sorts of books, a mishmash of everything from historical records to county chronicles of certain places, as well as stories and legends from various regions.

All in all, there were thousands of them, enough for the giant to slowly enjoy for a very long time.

Of course, what Yu Ziqing provided were merely books that were easily obtainable on the outside, which for Cultivators were considered leisure reading.

Cultivation method classics, Secret Techniques, Divine Skills, Formations, all books related to Cultivator skills and Cultivation, indeed Yu Ziqing had some low-tier classics, but he had no intention of giving them to the giant.

It was necessary to establish a good relationship with the giant, but, until Yu Ziqing knew exactly who the giant was, he had no intention of giving him any classics related to Cultivation in this era.

The giant probably wouldn't care for those classics. For a giant out of time, what he would be most interested in probably isn't anything related to Cultivation.
