At those words, Laozi and Li Yun also turned curious gazes toward Ancestor Minghe.
When Ancestor Minghe had stopped them outside the Thirty-three Heavens earlier, he had said he needed a favor. They had only come to Kunlun Mountain together because that region was unstable.
Now that Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi had both left, Ancestor Minghe no longer needed to keep anything hidden.
"Saint Laozi!"
"Saint Yuanshi!"
Faced with their question, Ancestor Minghe held nothing back.
After taking a deep breath, Ancestor Minghe said, "I have just told you all my secret. I believe you understand what I mean."
"Although I do not belong to Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, I am indeed part of the Pangu Lineage."
"But because I practiced Severing the Three Corpses, I can now be certain that I cannot advance any further. My only hope, my only option, is to seek another Method of Attaining Dao."
"And my only hope of advancing again is to Attain Dao through Strength."
Hearing this, Laozi and Yuanshi grew thoughtful.
They understood what Ancestor Minghe meant: Attain Dao through Strength.
What that required was not merely information, but, more importantly, an inheritance.
Across the entire Primordial World, the only ones who could possess an inheritance for Attaining Dao through Strength were undoubtedly the Three Pure Ones.
Even the Ancestor Witches could not have one. After all, if they possessed such an inheritance, their cultivation would not have remained stuck for so many years without any prospect of advancement.
Thus, Ancestor Minghe had undoubtedly approached the Three Pure Ones for Pangu's inheritance of Attaining Dao through Strength—such as the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique!
Good heavens!
Ancestor Minghe wants to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique!
What an incredible turn of events.
Towering waves surged through Li Yun's heart as thoughts raced
