Chapter 685

Ikyuni, Watashi

That said, under Ji Jue's repeated wailing, he still set aside the surplus needed for Juque Engineering.

For the who-knew-how-manyth time, he would start over from the beginning, not knowing whether he would overturn everything and redo it once again... Yet as he flipped through the Dust Haze Tradition, a new question suddenly emerged in his mind.

"Calamity beasts."

Ji Jue's movements paused for an instant. He turned back to look towards the pile of traditions covering the table, unable to suppress his confusion. "Why study calamity beasts, Belzuna?"

The final activation of the Workshop had been truly stunning. Turning dead objects into living ones might have been an achievement developed along this path—but why this particular direction?

Shouldn't calamity beasts fall under Life Studies?

They had absolutely nothing to do with Dust Haze!

Even if he wanted to take a detour and achieve a breakthrough by another route, this was too much of a turn, wasn't it?

If anything, even researching Fluid Alchemy would have been more useful to the Dust Haze Tradition than calamity beasts.

Besides, Ji Jue truly had no sense of sectarian exclusivity. Compared to those Artisans who treated their own traditions as forbidden treasures and would not allow others to touch even a fraction of them, he could practically be called frivolous and rebellious.

Come over, kowtow to him, and serve as a Servant of Ji Jue's Gate from then on, and Ji Jue would teach you the adapted Fluid Alchemy. After all, he still had the Three Phases clenched in his hand.

Yet Belzuna had gone straight to Deepdark?

Why bother?

Thinking of this, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh.

His future seemed utterly bleak.

Though they all followed the path of uniting many into one, there were still differences between them.
