Heavenly Dao Is Utterly Impartial, but I Will Not Forgive

Mist billows over Yin Mountain, and the cries of ghosts echo through the Wrongful Death City.

It seems that Lu Mo was indignant and angry because he mentioned Venerable Tianhe.

The four disciples, Sect Master Yan, looked at the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor with uneasy expressions. The Devil Ancestor's expression clearly showed extreme anger and ruthlessness, as if he wanted to fight Lu Mo to the death.

This is hardly a wise move.

Sect Master Yan turned his head and glanced at Netherworld Immortal beside him.

The meaning is clear—you should try to persuade them.

The Netherworld Immortal remained motionless, as if he hadn't seen anything. The other two Nascent Spirit Transformation from the Nine Nether Devil Sect also behaved themselves, afraid of offending the Devil Ancestor.

Sect Master Yan felt helpless.

The Nine Nether Founder was never one to listen to advice; in fact, he was eccentric and extremely stubborn.

Even those Demonic Sect Spirit Transformation who had always followed him had no choice but to submit to his orders.

Moreover, Lu Mo mentioned Patriarch Tianhe, which was practically stabbing Founder Nine Nether in the heart.

But Lu Mo was definitely doing it on purpose!

He opened his mouth, still wanting to offer a few words of advice, but unexpectedly, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor transmitted his voice, "Do you have the spare capacity?"

Sect Master Yan's breath hitched, and a bitter smile crept across his face:

Spare energy?

If the four of them hadn't dodged quickly, they would have been slapped to death by Lu Mo. Now they were Divine Soul with fear and weak.

"This disciple truly... is willing but unable."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's gaze swept across his face, then looked at the other three. After a moment, he looked at him again and said, "Do you regret it?"

Sect Master Yan fell silent.

The Founder's question clearly indicated that he had exhausted all means and there was no hope of turning the tide.

Lu Mo probably hit the nail on the head regarding the Founder's thoughts.

"Founder, we await Zheng Fa's return..."

"Lu Mo right."

"Even if Zheng Fa's cultivation could improve slightly, it wouldn't change the overall situation." The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor glanced at Lu Mo. "Now that things have come to this, even if the Celestial River Method has a next step, where would I find the time to cultivate?"

Sect Master Yan wanted to offer a few more words of comfort, but he didn't know how to say them.

He actually had the same idea.

The next step of the Celestial River Method is good, but Lu Mo has already stopped giving the Founder the opportunity to cultivate.

Now, it seems that Founder Nine Nether has made the worst-case scenario plan.

Send a message to Biography of Zheng Fa, telling him not to come back.

"Nine Nether Devil Ancestor suddenly said."

"Ah?"

Why throw your life away?

Sect Master Yan pursed his lips, knowing that the Founder wanted to leave some seeds for the Tianhe Sect.

After all, Zheng Dharma Body has not been exposed yet, and he has not offended the Four Sects, so there may still be a glimmer of hope.

"Founder..."

"You all prepare yourselves," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor said coldly.

This means they're really going to fight tooth and nail!

It seems he was truly angered by Lu Mo.

He hesitated for a moment, then heard the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor say, "What are you hesitating for? Isn't your son also in the Nine Mountains Realm? Or are you afraid of death?"

"... yes!"

Sect Master Yan took out the Comprehensive Mirror, preparing to send a letter to Zheng Fa.

"Never mind," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor suddenly interrupted him, "He's back."

Looking at the smile on the face of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, Sect Master Yan couldn't quite figure out whether this Founder wanted Zheng Fa to return or not.

Zheng Fa passed through the Immortal-Slayer Sword Formation and, taking advantage of the mist, landed on Yin Mountain.

His gaze swept over both the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor and Sect Master Yan.

Why are those two looking at me like that?

"Devil Ancestor!"

Zheng Fa wanted to take out the Reincarnation Disc.

What's inside the Myriad Swords Realm?

Unexpectedly, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor inquired about his experiences in the Myriad Swords Realm.

"In the Myriad Swords Realm, there are the Tianhe brothers who died in battle, and the remnant soul of Venerable Tianhe..."

Seeing that he cared more about this, Zheng Fa simply started talking about the banquet he had with his disciples.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor listened quietly, his eyes showing a long-lost yearning, and his expression towards Zheng Fa was seven times more affectionate than before.

"So, you obtained the Celestial River Method?"

"Yes, I also..."

"Then you can leave."

"..."

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment. The package had been refused delivery?

"Since Tianhe has acknowledged you, then you are the successor of my Tianhe Sect," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor said softly. "You should leave here first and preserve your life for when you have something to use."

"..."

"Stop being so wishy-washy," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor said firmly. "So Lu Mo wants to refine the Book of Life and Death? Today I will destroy this treasure, preventing him from attaining enlightenment! You still have some time; cultivate the Celestial River Method."

It was clear that after hearing that Zheng Fa had obtained the inheritance, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor had already regarded him as his own disciple and even wanted to buy him some time.

As for destroying the Book of Life and Death and Death, for the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, that was no different from suicide.

Zheng Fa wanted to say something more.

"Life and death are but a grand dream to me." A long-lost serenity appeared on the face of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor. "All these years, hiding and fleeing, I'm tired too."

"But..."

"Let's go. There are no 'buts'. My mind is made up."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's expression was calm, and he inexplicably exuded a kind of fearless demeanor.

Clearly, he was really going to fight to the death.

What about the Reincarnation Disc?

"..."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor paused, looking at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa took out the Reincarnation Disc from his sleeve and sighed deeply, "It's still only at the Grand Unity level. What a pity for such a treasure."

"..."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor held the Reincarnation Disc, head bowed, silently studying it, seemingly avoiding Zheng Fa's gaze.

The four members of the Sect Master Yan felt an inexplicable awkwardness, and for some reason, they remained silent as chickens, not daring to speak.

After a long while, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor finally raised his head and said, "This is... made by the Tianhe?"

"Yes, Venerable Tianhe hid away to refine treasures back then, and finally created the Reincarnation Disc using the resources of the Myriad Swords Realm and his own Dharma body."

Essentially, Venerable Tianhe poured almost all the accumulated resources of an entire era into creating this supreme treasure of the Grand Unity rank.

The Venerable Nine Nether Netherworlds quietly observed the Reincarnation Disc.

"The Venerable Tianhe taught me the Celestial River Method, which says that after you, Devil Ancestor, Self-Slaying, you should merge the Book of Life and Death and Death and the Reincarnation Disc into one. This Law Treasure will possess the power of the Grand Unity, enough to alter the Xuanwei Principle."

Zheng Fa looked at the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor expectantly.

Although he couldn't use the Reincarnation Disc, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's attainment of the Grand Unity was still quite beneficial to him—it gave him another powerful backer.

Moreover, judging from the decision made by the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor just now, he has already regarded himself as the successor of the Tianhe Dao Lineage, and there will always be some degree of Incense Power.

Most importantly, it can also prevent Lu Mo from attaining enlightenment.

The one who attained enlightenment was the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, but it was Zheng Fa who won!

"The Tianhe's physical body..." the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor murmured, "The Dao Fruit can die."

He looked at the Book of Life and Death floating above Yin Mountain, a smirk playing on his lips. "Let me see the Celestial River Method."

Zheng Fa handed over a Jade Slip.

While resisting the attack of the Buddha's light, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor also comprehended the Secret Method. After a while, as if he understood it, he picked up the Reincarnation Disc again and began to explore it.

Zheng Fa stood to the side, secretly preparing for the Lu Mo.

He wasn't worried that the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor wouldn't be able to control the Reincarnation Disc —this thing was tailor-made for him, a unique tool that was plug-and-play.

Unexpectedly, the more the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor looked, the deeper his brows furrowed, until finally his face was filled with resistance.

What's wrong?

After a long while, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor opened his eyes and looked into the void, seemingly deep in thought.

"Devil Ancestor?"

"This Reincarnation Disc..." The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor remained silent for a long time, "Is not suitable for me."

no?

They really refused to accept it?

"Why is that?" Zheng Fa wondered.

This thing was crafted by Venerable Tianhe for the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor; how could it not be suitable?

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's tone was solemn. "To prove Reincarnation, one must uphold the impartiality of the Heavenly Dao."

"Heavenly Dao's justice is absolute?"

What does that mean?

The Reincarnation Disc was not something Zheng Fa possessed, nor had he ever comprehended it.

Why does the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor look like this thing is a trap?

His gaze swept over the Reincarnation Disc, then he turned his head to look at the Book of Life and Death.

On the Book of Life and Death, the Buddha's light was so intense it was almost blinding.

The threat posed by Lu Mo is visible to the naked eye and is imminent.

This made Zheng Fa even more unable to understand the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's choice—it would mean death!

Seemingly sensing his confusion, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor looked at Lu Mo with a cold gaze.

"The Heavenly Dao is impartial, and Heavenly Dao operation cannot be interfered with. Unless a cultivator defies the laws of Reincarnation Law, I can no longer intervene."

Zheng Fa was taken aback for a moment, then followed the Devil Ancestor's gaze and looked at Lu Mo.

Suddenly, I began to understand what the Devil Ancestor was thinking.

"The Self-Attachment I must sever is my blood feud with the Tianhe."

"..."

"I don't want to."

Zheng Fa was at a loss for words.

The influence of Daoist practices on cultivators is truly profound.

Moreover, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor has been living on hatred for so many years.

Zheng Fa already knew that this person's mentality could not be judged by common sense.

"After proving the Reincarnation Great Dao, I can no longer even lay a hand on Lu Mo."

"What do the deaths of those Tianhe disciples matter?"

Zheng Fa was also quite puzzled. "Is this true for all Grand Unity?"

He had always thought that Grand Unity was just a more powerful cultivator.

Now, after hearing the behavior of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, I understand one thing— Grand Unity Golden Immortal is equivalent to a part of the Heavenly Dao, so naturally he cannot defy the impartial Principle of the Heavenly Dao.

The principles of conduct of that Dao Venerable and the Thunderclap Buddha Ancestor are worth pondering.

"I don't know," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor shook his head. "This method, after all, wasn't done by myself. After attaining enlightenment, I certainly possess the power of Grand Unity within the Underworld, but that might not be the case outside."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

This has both advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is that having the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor as a backer imposes significant limitations.

The advantage is that if Grand Unity are like this, then his pressure will be much less.

The Four Sects have a long history, and what he fears most now is that if he beats the younger ones, the older ones will follow.

Now that we've discovered that the older one, though strong, is not very mobile, we feel much more at ease.

Zheng Fa looked at the Reincarnation Disc, wondering how he could offer some advice.

"Tianhe has that magnanimity, but I don't," the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor said softly. "I... cannot forgive."

Zheng Fa felt somewhat helpless at the choice made by the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

Just as he said, this Devil Ancestor and Venerable Tianhe are completely different.

Venerable Tianhe didn't give Zheng Fa a single word about revenge.

But it can't be said to be completely different:

Venerable Tianhe was a pioneer who was willing to sacrifice himself for the Celestial River Method.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor was an avenger, and he was willing to sacrifice himself for revenge...

Within the Nine Mountains Realm, the Heavenly Emperor Body and his entourage looked at each other in bewilderment.

Uncle-Master Pang was speechless. "Because he's unwilling to give up his blood feud, he's even giving up the Grand Unity Supreme Treasure?"

Senior Sister Zhang frowned and said, "This Devil Ancestor is willing to risk his life; there's probably some influence from the Celestial River Method involved."

Xie Qingxue nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with the idea.

"I knew cultivators of the Celestial River Method were single-minded... I never expected them to be this stubborn." Uncle-Master Pang scratched his head. "What should we do?"

Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa on the screen and shook her head, saying, "This matter depends on how Zheng Fa tries to persuade us."

"Devil Ancestor, only by establishing Reincarnation can we exact the greatest revenge on the Four Sects Dao Fruit..."

Zheng Fa thought for a moment. Since the Devil Ancestor cared so much about revenge, he could only try to persuade him from the perspective of revenge.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Fa.

"If there were no Reincarnation, those Four Sects Dao Fruit would be practically immortal; even if they died briefly, they would have a chance to revive." Zheng Fa smiled. "They couldn't be completely wiped out."

As Venerable Tianhe said, there should have been hundreds of Golden Immortal throughout the ages in these heavens, but now there are probably only a few dozen still "alive".

But this doesn't mean these people are dead; on the contrary, given the chance, they could come back to life.

A thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

These things weren't actually beyond his comprehension; rather, the Devil Ancestor was still resisting Lu Mo's invasion and didn't have time to delve into the meaning of the Reincarnation Disc.

That's why Zheng Fa needs to point it out.

"Only by establishing the Reincarnation reincarnation and attaining the Four Sects of Dao Fruit can one truly pay the price."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor remained silent for a moment.

He seemed moved.

Zheng Fa then said:

"The infighting among the Tianhe sect members back then... was due to the instigation of the Four Sects."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's face turned cold.

"The Four Sects have always been scheming against each other. If Dao Fruit dies, they might turn on each other in the future. It can be considered retribution."

How can you be so sure they'll kill each other?

Zheng Dharma Body flickered in the mist and transformed into Lu Mo's appearance.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's eyelids twitched at the sight.

"Don't worry, Devil Ancestor, I'll help them."

"..."

Zheng Fa's meaning was clear: the Nine Mountains Sect would take responsibility for this feud!

He was in charge of killing, Nine Nether Devil Ancestor was in charge of burying them, making it a complete operation.

This wasn't meant to appease the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

Putting everything else aside, because of the Fusang Wood, there is an absolutely irreconcilable enmity between him and Lu Mo.

The Celestial River Method he inherited is even more sensitive.

It's difficult to coexist peacefully with the Four Sects.

"Devil Ancestor, since I have Tianhe Dao Lineage," Zheng Fa said, "Then the karma of the Tianhe is also the karma of my Nine Mountains."

"One day, the Celestial River Method will be revived in my Nine Mountains and spread throughout the Xuanwei."

This was Zheng Fa's persuasion, but it was also his promise.

As for the rest, he didn't say much more.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

After a while, he opened his eyes and pointed towards the void.

The Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram drifted leisurely to Zheng Fa's side.

Zheng Fa glanced down at the array diagram, then looked up at the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor nodded slightly to him.

Array diagram?

I didn't ask for the formation diagram!

"Since Tianhe has chosen to pass on his lineage to you, this array diagram is Tianhe's Sect Leader and should rightfully be yours to wield."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor said to Zheng Fa, "Besides, this thing will be of little use to me in the future, so you should keep it for protection."

That's true.

According to the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, he is considered Grand Unity in the Underworld.

But it seems very difficult to escape the Underworld.

If the Nine Mountains Sect were to encounter danger in the future, he could certainly lead his people to flee to the Underworld, but that would not be entirely safe.

With the Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram, the safety of the Nine Mountains Realm is naturally more guaranteed.

Seeing that Zheng Fa did not refuse, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor stretched out a finger and shot out a beam of green light, which drilled into Zheng Fa's forehead.

In Zheng Fa's mind, the Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram appeared, along with the most complete control Method Formula.

The Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram, which had previously been somewhat distant from him, is now placed beside him, ten times more docile than before.

"Take this Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram and slay that Lu Mo? A magnificent and awe-inspiring force!"
