Ming He: Celestial Venerable, you truly are a Great Good Person

Lei Jun Tianzun?

Not the Heavenly Dao?

Had she truly mistaken him?

Fortunately, in the span of Lei Jun's thoughts, Ming He snapped back to his senses.

Then.

Came a mournful cry.

Yet it was still reverent.

"I beg the Tianzun, can you show Ming He a Path of Life?"

"If this continues!"

"Ming He fears he will dissipate!"

Dissipation was an exaggeration.

But one could still hear from it just how miserable Ming He was now.

So much so that his tone was pitiful.

"I have already pointed out the clear path. If you cannot comprehend it, then it means your Path of Life is cut off!"

"Even if I wish to help you, the Heavenly Dao may not retreat!"

"Do you understand?"

Lei Jun's tone was indifferent as she spoke thus.

What?

The Tianzun had already pointed out the Path of Life?

In her words just now?

Hearing this.

Ming He hurriedly recalled.

Fortunately, for a cultivator, there was no such thing as forgetting.

Lei Jun's words just now.

He remembered.

She said it was not impossible that some errors had appeared in the Heavenly Dao.

And also that he might have obtained some undeserved opportunity.

Suddenly.

Ming He's heart tightened, and he thought of a possibility.

"Tianzun, Ming He understands!"

Lei Jun raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

Silently waiting for Ming He to continue.

"Tens of Eons ago, Ming He refined a strand of Profound Qi from the fierce Sha of the Blood Sea!"

"This Profound Qi seemed to contain Dao techniques! But it was somewhat Mysterious and Profound, and Ming He has yet to comprehend it!"

"Could it be..."

"That this Profound Qi is unusual?"

"I beg the Tianzun to investigate!"

As he spoke.

From the depths of the Blood Sea.

A wisp of Mysterious and Profound aura drifted out from the place where Ming He was born.

Lei Jun's hand gently swept.

The Profound Qi fell into her palm.

Then.

Lei Jun poured her Divine Sense into the Profound Qi and began to probe it.

It had to be said.

The gap in cultivation realm was vividly demonstrated in this moment.

Ming He had possessed this Profound Qi for a full tens of Eons.

Yet still gained nothing.

But Lei Jun, in just an instant, saw through it completely!

This Profound Qi, to Lei Jun...

There were no secrets to be kept.

The reason it happened so quickly, aside from his high cultivation, was also because Lei Jun was not unfamiliar with this type of Profound Qi.

He had encountered something similar before.

Suddenly, Lei Jun was delighted.

"Just as I thought!"

"It really is connected to Shen Ni! My deduction was correct!"

"But that Ming He could refine Profound Qi from Sha Qi—that I did not expect! Perhaps it has to do with his special origins!"

"With this Profound Qi here, I might be able to find the opportunity for Shen Ni's True Body hidden within the Sha Qi!"

"The need to purify the Blood Sea is thus greatly reduced!"

Speaking of which.

One of the reasons Lei Jun wanted to purify the Blood Sea was because it contained Sha Qi.

But that was only one reason.

It wasn't even the main one.

The real reason was to find clues about Shen Ni's True Body.

He hadn't expected.

The clue would be right here with Ming He!

And he had even "bluffed" it out of him.

Putting away the Profound Qi, Lei Jun did not immediately deduce the clues.

For now, there were still matters to settle.

"That's right!"

"This is the Profound Qi!"

Lei Jun spoke, his Dao Sound spreading across the Blood Sea.

"This Profound Qi has an extraordinary origin, containing the techniques of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni!"

"The Beast Emperor has not yet been destroyed, and your secret hoarding of this Profound Qi makes you an accomplice to the Beast Emperor. The Heavenly Dao has not sent down a Heavenly Tribulation, which is already a concession considering your origins! Do you understand?"

"So that's how it is!"

Ming He's heart trembled.

Though somewhat bewildered, the fact that the Blood Sea water was no longer being purified was undoubtedly proof of this.

At that moment, Lei Jun spoke again.

"Of course, if you consider the techniques within this Profound Qi to be an opportunity, you may continue to study them!"

"Do you still want this Profound Qi, or not?"

No sooner had Lei Jun finished speaking than Ming He's voice rang out.

His tone was extremely resolute.

"Celestial Venerable, say no more!"

"This opportunity—I want no part of it!"

"No! This is no opportunity; it is clearly a disaster!"

"As for the Profound Qi, Celestial Venerable may do with it as you wish!"

Do with it as he wished?

Even without those words, Lei Jun would not have returned the Profound Qi to Ming He.

He had already put it away.

"In that case, the Great Oath can be made!"

"Furthermore, this Profound Qi is of some use to I, so I have also gained an opportunity from you."

"How about this: I will pass on the techniques I find within the Profound Qi back to you."

"Consider it returning them to their original owner—what do you think?"

"Rest assured, without the Beast Emperor's Profound Qi, and with only the techniques, the Heavenly Dao will no longer trouble you."

As he spoke.

A wondrous Dharma was struck by Lei Jun into Ming He's formation.

"Many thanks, Celestial Venerable!"

Hearing the reply.

Ming He was filled with gratitude.

He nearly shed tears.

Lei Jun not only pointed out the Path of Life for him, but after taking the Profound Qi, even returned the technique to him.

It still left him with a chance.

And saved many Eons of comprehension time.

Not only that.

Lei Jun, having obtained the Profound Qi, also had to bear the Heavenly Dao's "targeting" for him!

What kind of behavior was this?

Ming He sighed deeply.

Emotion welled up within him.

"Lei Jun Tianzun, you are truly the Great Good Person of the Primordial Wilderness!"

"From now on, besides worshipping the Heavenly Dao, Ming He!"

"Shall also worship you, Tianzun!"

Though both were forms of worship.

There was still a considerable difference.

The former was forced by circumstance.

The latter came from the heart...

However, Ming He's words received no response.

At this moment.

Lei Jun had not yet left.

But with this matter concluded, he had important things to do.

He had no time to pay attention to Ming He.

Lei Jun intended to use the Profound Qi to deduce the opportunity to find Shen Ni's True Body!

For this, he was very Focused.

In the blink of an eye.

Hundreds of thousands of years passed.

That opportunity was finally found by Lei Jun!

"As expected of the Beast Emperor!"

"He must have obtained many techniques from the Chaos Demon Gods!"

"Otherwise, even if he wanted to hide the Sha Qi, it wouldn't have been so easy!"

At the same time, he also understood why he had never succeeded before.

Previously.

Lei Jun had thought.

Since Shen Ni's True Body was within the Sha Qi and could gather at any time.

Then logically.

The part where his True Body was hidden should differ from ordinary Sha Qi.

No matter how deeply it was concealed, there would always be subtle differences.

Through that difference.

He could find the True Body.

With this idea, Lei Jun tried many times.

But each time ended in failure.

Thinking back now.

It was entirely because the direction was wrong.

With the direction mistaken, the more he calculated, the further he strayed.

"Shen Ni's True Body Seed is not within the Sha Qi at all—it is clearly within heaven and earth."

"It is the Sha Qi that is within heaven and earth!"

"Thus, the True Body Seed seems to be hidden within the Sha Qi!"

"But that is not the case!"

The two appeared similar, but were actually vastly different.

At this moment.

Lei Jun was deeply moved.

"That Shen Ni actually knew how to use a Smoke Bomb! He fooled even me, nearly sending me down the wrong path, further and further astray!"

"What 'as long as Sha Qi remains undying, he remains undying'!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"When has Sha Qi in the Primordial Wilderness ever truly been cut off?"

"Even right after a Tribulation ends, when a new era just begins, it's at most much thinner—but no matter how faint, it's still there!"

"What's more, when the Tribulation rises again, Sha Qi will grow thick once more!"

"If it were really as Shen Ni said, he could never die! Even if he died, he'd revive!"

"And yet..."

After the Fierce Beast Tribulation, where was there any trace of Shen Ni?

Not even many legends remained!

So, 'Sha Qi undying, Shen Ni undying' was just a smokescreen!

Something Shen Ni deliberately set up.

With this thought.

Lei Jun gradually understood.

"So, each True Body Seed is actually an incomplete Dao!"

"At the same time, it's also a Law that later cultivators can practice!"

"The Fierce Beast Tribulation wasn't just about exterminating the Fierce Beasts!"

"It was also meant to perfect the Three Thousand Laws of the Primordial Wilderness!"

"Case closed!"

"The True Body Seeds are the Three Thousand Laws!"

Of course, three thousand was a rough number.

It wasn't literally only three thousand.

In reality, there were many.

Additionally.

Lei Jun had previously thought that the Laws, or whatever, were something he couldn't directly comprehend from the Primordial Wilderness because the Heavenly Dao hadn't emerged yet.

Only after finding the Demon God Remnant could he extract a bit from it.

Now that he thought about it.

It was because the power of the Chaos Demon Gods hadn't yet fully merged into the Primordial Wilderness!

However, Lei Jun didn't need Laws right now.

Once he forged Laws into a 'Dao' in the Furnace.

The function of Laws diminished greatly.

But that being the case.

If Lei Jun used Shen Ni's True Body as material to refine Small Return Pills.

It might cause the Three Thousand Laws of the Primordial Wilderness to...

"Be incomplete?"

Lei Jun thought so.

If that were really the case, he would have to weigh it carefully.

Consider whether he should still do this.

After all, this act would be tantamount to sacrificing the Primordial Wilderness to strengthen himself.

This would incur Great Karma!

With Karma upon him.

It would be hard to attain true freedom.

Lei Jun had to be cautious.

So, he began to calculate again.

Before long.

Lei Jun got his answer.

He couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Thank goodness!"

"Though there is Karma owed, it can be repaid!"

"And the Primordial Wilderness hasn't become incomplete either!"

"After all, I'm still within the Primordial Wilderness, a part of it! As long as I patch up these laws before transcending it, it'll be fine!"

"The one truly losing out isn't the Primordial Wilderness!"

"It's the Heavenly Dao!"

The calculation results showed.

If Lei Jun continued refining Shen Ni's True Body.

From then on, it was possible that some cultivator, while comprehending laws, would encounter a situation where the Heavenly Dao couldn't be comprehended.

Because there was no record!

Only by comprehending at Lei Jun's place would it work!

Otherwise.

They'd have to abandon the idea of comprehending that law.

Though in the end, due to the vast gap in strength between Lei Jun and the Heavenly Dao, the vast majority of True Bodies should still be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao.

Only a small portion of laws would end up like this.

But that was still outrageous.

Enough to make one click their tongue.

After reaching this conclusion.

For a moment.

Lei Jun was caught between laughter and tears.

"Well, this is great!"

"I really am going to become the 'Little Heavenly Dao'!"

"But thankfully, besides the obligations, there are benefits too!"

Before fully patching up the laws of the Primordial Wilderness.

Lei Jun, aside from becoming that "inscrutable" existence providing cultivators with a channel to comprehend laws.

Would also gain a greater "Permission Right"!

This meant.

He had taken another step closer to becoming the "Little Heavenly Dao"!
