Old Ancestor Qiankun's Shameless Tricks

After the disheveled figure of the Qiankun Ancestor disappeared through the radiant gate of the Jade Yuxu Palace, everyone's eyes were fixed on the enormous water mirror atop the mountain.

Fuxi's "Destiny Live Broadcast Room" once again became the sole focus of the world.

"Look! That old Delia went inside!"

"This second trial is the wisdom labyrinth of Yuqing Yuanshi, testing one's comprehension Dao Heart; you can't get through it just by being thick-skinned and tough!"

"I think this Old Daoist priest is in trouble. He doesn't seem to be very bright."

The millions of creatures at the foot of the mountain were buzzing with discussion, and almost no one had a good chance of getting through the first challenge by Sloppy Old Daoist with "Roasted Sweet Potato."

Even the powerful figures Kunlun Mountain Peak all watched with expressions of amusement.

"Second Brother, you probably didn't keep any food in this maze, did you?"

The Tongtian Jiaozhu sent a sour message in the divine thought group, clearly resentful that his roller coaster ride had been outdone.

"Don't let that old fox find any loopholes for you to exploit again."

"Snort."

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, his words filled with absolute self-confidence.

"My labyrinth of wisdom is far beyond the reach of your roller coaster."

"This labyrinth contains the infinite variations of the Three Thousand Great Daos. One wrong step, and you're trapped in an endless illusion of utter destruction. If he dares to harbor any wicked thoughts within, he'll only die even faster!"

The scene in the water mirror suddenly changed.

The figure of the Qiankun Ancestor appeared in a bizarre and fantastical space.

Beneath his feet was a road composed of countless glowing runes.

At the end of the road were three identical forks, each leading to a bottomless abyss of darkness.

A grand but emotionless voice echoed through the space.

"The three thousand paths lead to the same destination. Yet, a single step can make or break a smooth road. Choose your path."

This is a typical test of Dao Heart.

It tests the seeker's most fundamental choices and true nature.

Any powerful being would have focused their mind and carefully sensed the subtle differences in the laws governing the three paths at this moment, and then made the most prudent choice based on their own path of cultivation.

However, the reaction of the Qiankun Ancestor almost made everyone's eyes pop out.

He stood at the crossroads, scratching his messy hair in frustration, his face clearly showing his inner turmoil.

"Which path should I choose? This is such a difficult decision..."

He muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he rummaged around in his pocket for a long time.

He took out the half-eaten roasted Roasted Sweet Potato.

He held the Roasted Sweet Potato in his palm like a treasure, then suddenly tossed it high into the air!

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, may the Great God of Roasted Sweet Potato appear and grant your salvation!"

"If it's facing forward, go left; if it's facing backward, go right; if it's standing up... Old Daoist, I'll go in the middle!"

As he spoke, he let go of her hand.

The "Dragon Flame Roasted Sweet Potato," envied and hated by countless creatures, traced a fairly graceful parabola in the air.

It fell to the ground with a "thud".

It broke into several pieces.

Qiankun Ancestor: "..."

The billions of living beings at the foot of the mountain. "..."

The five powerful figures Kunlun Mountain Peak: "..."

The Ice Mountain face of the Yuanshi Tianzun, which had remained unchanged for millennia, gradually darkened.

He felt his blood pressure rising uncontrollably.

Using Roasted Sweet Potato... for divination?

To determine the path of his Dao Heart, which he had painstakingly designed?

This is an insult to his intelligence!

This is a trampling of his great path!

Naked!

"This... this old man is here to sabotage us, isn't he?" The Tongtian Jiaozhu was stunned for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.

"Why do I feel like... he seems to know how to play the game better than you?" Nuwa whispered, adding insult to injury.

The Tongtian Jiaozhu was instantly speechless.

In the water mirror, the Qiankun Ancestor looked at the shattered Roasted Sweet Potato on the ground, his face showing an expression of extreme heartache.

"My sweet potatoes..."

He crouched down, carefully picked up every single piece of debris, blew off any non-existent dust, and then put it in his mouth.

After finishing his meal, he smacked his lips, savoring the taste, before looking up at the three identical roads.

"Forget it, the choice is too difficult."

"Old Daoist me... I'd better not choose it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he did something that silenced heaven and earth.

He neither went left, nor right, nor in the middle.

He walked directly to the seemingly empty space between the three paths and sat down with a thud.

"I can't walk anymore, I Old Daoist to rest for a while."

As he spoke, he actually sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and looked like a rogue preparing to take a nap right there.

"Buzz--!"

The moment he sat down, the entire maze space trembled violently!

Those three paths, formed by supreme Daoist runes, shattered instantly like ice and snow!

The bizarre and grotesque scenery around us resembled a shattered mirror, cracked inch by inch!

The next second, the Qiankun Ancestor felt a void beneath his buttocks and realized he had appeared on the next level of the maze.

He didn't even take a single step.

Just sitting there, I somehow passed the first test!

"This... how is this possible?!"

Deep within the Yuxu Palace, the Yuanshi Tianzun, who personally oversaw the operation of the labyrinth, showed a crack for the first time in his unchanging demeanor throughout the ages, his voice filled with disbelief.

The level he designed didn't even have a "don't select" option!

The three paths correspond to the three great paths of "Power," "Wisdom," and "Freedom." Regardless of which path you choose, you will enter into a corresponding endless trial.

But this Old Daoist actually broke free from the rules he had set!

The spot where he sat was precisely the only "singularity" where the three great laws converged, yet did not interfere with each other!

That was the core and the weakest link of the entire formation!

Was this Old Daoist just pretending?

Or did he truly see through the essence of his formation at first glance?

Yuanshi Tianzun preferred to believe the former.

Meanwhile, at the Kunlun Mountain Peak, Lin Shen, who was watching the live broadcast, clapped his hands happily upon seeing this scene.

Wow! That old man is so smart!

"He knew walking was too tiring, so he took the elevator directly!"

Elevator?

When Yuanshi Tianzun heard this "god-level complaint" coming from his precious disciple, he felt that his sacred heart had been stabbed hard again.

What Great Dao Singularity, what Formation Hub... in the disciple's eyes, it's just... an elevator?

The trials that followed made Yuanshi Tianzun begin to question the meaning of life.

The second level is the Heart Demon Illusion Realm.

Countless graceful fairies, holding mountains of innate Innate Spiritual Treasure, knelt before the Qiankun Ancestor, their breath sweet as orchids, begging for his favor.

Qiankun Ancestor merely glanced at it indifferently.

Then, he took out his tattered Qiankun Bag from his bosom and opened the bag in front of the fairy and Lingbao.

Call--!

They took it all in at once.

"Not bad, not bad. We should be able to get a lot of sweet potatoes by selling these to the scrap yard."

The Heart Demon Illusion Realm collapsed on the spot.

The owner of the illusion discovered that the things he conjured up could not satisfy the Old Daoist's appetite at all; if he continued to conjure them, his very essence would be emptied out!

The third level is a chess game.

The opponent is a Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable. On the chessboard, the Milky Way flows, and every move contains the supreme changes of the Myriad Stars Array.

The Qiankun Ancestor only glanced at the complex chessboard before yawning.

Then, he pulled out a set of... warm and smooth jade-like cards from his Qiankun Bag.

It is engraved with "Ten Thousand", "Nine of Bamboo", "Get Rich", and "White Board".

It's Mahjong.

"Fellow Daoist, playing chess is so boring, it's a real headache."

"Come on, let's have a game. If you win by drawing the winning tile yourself, you lose!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun, filled with the profound principles of the Great Dao, was completely stunned by this unheard-of "magic weapon."

Its core logic gets stuck in an infinite loop when faced with incomprehensible rules like "pong," "kong," and "winning."

Ultimately, the program malfunctioned and disappeared.

Fourth floor...

Fifth floor...

The sixth floor...

No matter how ingenious, profound, or challenging the tests of Dao Heart are set up by the Yuanshi Tianzun.

This Sloppy Old Daoist always manages to solve problems with an effortless ease, using methods you could never imagine, so bizarre they border on scoundrel.

He doesn't seem like a challenger.

He's more like a top-tier bug in a game, completely ignoring all the rules and settings.

When the Qiankun Ancestor yawned and slowly walked out of the Wisdom Maze, less than half an hour had passed.

He stretched and looked at the sky.

"Hmm, it's still early, I can take another nap."

With that, he found a corner, hugged his tattered cloth bag, and fell fast asleep again.

Only behind him remained the "Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Heart Wisdom Maze," a masterpiece painstakingly built and a source of immense pride for the Yuanshi Tianzun, standing alone and disheveled in the winds of Kunlun Mountain.

Inside the Yuxu Palace, all was deathly silent.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat blankly on his cloud bed, speechless for a long time.

He felt that his proud wisdom and profound principles had been trampled on the ground by a Delia, who had repeatedly rubbed them ninety-eight thousand times with Roasted Sweet Potato, scraps, and Mahjong.

"Eldest brother... Third brother..."

After a long while, he sent out a voice that was extremely weak in the group of divine thoughts of the Three Pure Ones.

"I... also want to separate from the family..."
