Parallel Afterimages

Facing great terror requires extreme concentration and a most tenacious Dao heart. Otherwise, facing it directly meant being "polluted," or collapsing outright under the crushing pressure originating from the depths of the soul.

It was not the first time Li Qingyun had "dealings" with Him.

This time, hardening his heart and charging straight toward the Primordial Lightning Beginning Qi, he naturally came with mental preparation.

He never underestimated the methods of Wei Zu Heaven. After all, everything in this Great Thousand could be said to belong to Him, save for the "True Face."

The so-called Three Thousand Great Daos seemed out of reach and profoundly mysterious to cultivators and Dao lords, but in the eyes of Wei Zu Heaven, they were perhaps merely minor paths, not worth mentioning.

If He ceased to exist, it was very likely that even the Three Thousand Great Daos would cease to exist along with them.

This "lucidity" was extremely realistic, and all the more cruel.

"What sacred being are you, blocking the source of the Dao with your body? Could you be the Heavenly Dao?"

On the surface, Li Qingyun still looked utterly terrified, but internally he maintained a sliver of calmness, doing his utmost to "act."

He pretended this was his first time meeting Wei Zu Heaven, addressing Him as "Heavenly Dao" with a somewhat insincere and lavish compliment.

"Heavenly Dao? That phrasing is rather novel, but one could also say that!"

The hazy figure of the Daoist seemed slightly stunned before coldly acknowledging the identity of the Heavenly Dao.

Li Qingyun's wisp of lightning qi immediately manifested extreme respect, saying respectfully, "So it turns out the Heavenly Dao is before me. How could I, poor Daoist Li Qingyun, ever dare to shoulder the two words 'Holy Venerable' from the Heavenly Dao's mouth?"
