A guide NPC showed up? Now we're talking about Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao?

"I didn't come here for the Nether Domain Seal!" the old Daoist priest said bluntly upon seeing Ling Yi.

"And then?" Ling Yi pressed a few buttons on the tea table next to him.

The tea bar automatically adds water, boils water, and brews tea.

This tea bar was bought by Fu Qingyun a few days ago. It's a fully automatic tea-brewing system, and it cost a lot of money, tens of thousands of yuan.

Unfortunately, Ling Yi doesn't understand tea and doesn't like drinking it. He basically uses it as a water dispenser, and rarely even uses the boiling function. When he's thirsty, he just drinks purified water.

"One came to see who could make the Nether Domain Seal recognize him as its master, and the other wanted to ask the old Daoist for a favor."

"We're not familiar with each other!" Ling Yi said, shrugging.

The old Daoist priest didn't seem to mind and continued, "I am the abbot of Hidden Dragon Mountain and Hidden Dragon Taoist Temple. My secular name is Bai Yunhai, and my Daoist name is Hidden Dragon Layman."

"I am also the current director of the Spirit Suppression Bureau, specializing in handling certain special cases."

An official backing? This world is indeed complex.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If there's Underworld, it's normal to have some other random things.

However, if the Ancient Country has Spirit Suppression Bureau, then wouldn't there be a corresponding official force in Amaileken?

If they did know, they should know the function of the Nether Domain Seal. If they did, then all the trouble Classmate Dengdeng caused before was just a joke, wasn't it?

" Amaileken, due to excessive interference from the Land of Chaos, the Ling Yi Bureau there was shut down more than 30 years ago, and a lot of data was completely Destruction in an explosion," Elder Bai suddenly said.

Oh, I see... my foot! Is that even the point?

The key point is, this old man can Mind-Reading Technique!

I can't Mind-Reading Technique!

I don't believe you for a second. You dare say you can't Mind-Reading Technique?

"You can think of it as observing words and actions, and understanding one's inner thoughts. You'll get the hang of it as you live longer!"

Ling Yi didn't speak, looking at the old man with a face that clearly said, "I don't believe it."

Then, Ling Yi used the [ Probe ] function.

[ Bai Yunhai ( Transcendent, Ancient Daoist School Cultivator)]

[Number of reincarnations: 201]

[Age of the deceased: 1145]

[ Underworld Authority: None]

[ Merit: 27 million] [Screenshot available]

[ Soul Power: 650][+][-]

[ Divine Ability: None (Current)]

[Biography: Merit consumed can be viewed!][ Click to View ]

Upon seeing this information panel, Ling Yi couldn't help but think of Bai Xiaoyao.

This person, like Bai Xiaoyao, has Reincarnation more than two hundred times, but his age as a spirit is younger than Bai Xiaoyao's.

Ling Yi directly used his Merit to first examine the old Daoist's life story in this lifetime.

"I was reincarnated with my memories intact!" The old Daoist, unaware that Ling Yi was already investigating his past, continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

At this point, the old Daoist seemed to remember something, and coughed lightly, saying, "Ahem, none of that matters!"

What are you obviously trying to hide?

But it doesn't matter, because you can't hide anything in front of a live audience anyway.

"You should know that the Nether Domain Seal cannot be Refinement, right?"

Ling Yi nodded. Although the Nether Domain Seal Nether Domain Seal was bound to him, Ling Yi had never actually Refinement it.

Ever since guessing the significance of the Nether Domain Seal's appearance, Ling Yi already knew that the Nether Domain Seal could not be Refinement at all.

"Then do you know the concepts of the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao, and the Way of Human Dao?"

Ling Yi didn't speak or react at all. Had he suddenly become so sophisticated?

Do you think I've never seen the Primordial World?

" The Nether Domain Seal is the Manifestation of the rules of the Underworld. Its appearance is not for rewarding those who have performed great Merit."

The old Daoist priest was rambling on and on, but Ling Yi had already finished reading through this life's biography.

"So she really was reincarnated with her memories intact!" he exclaimed.

Hearing Ling Yi's words, Bai Yunhai gave a wry smile and said, "This old Daoist forgot that the Nether Domain Seal can see a person's past lives Reincarnation, which saves this old Daoist from saying all that nonsense."

"So, should I accept this Nether Domain Seal or not?" Ling Yi felt his impression of the old Daoist priest had improved a bit.

After all, this old Daoist priest wasn't a bad person. It was just that he suddenly showed up at the door and insisted on acting as a guide NPC. It would be strange if Ling Yi didn't suspect him.

That was so abrupt!

"You are the variable; it doesn't matter which choice you make."

"Old man, what have you been saying all this time?" Ling Yi rolled his eyes.

After reading about the old Daoist's life, Ling Yi no longer doubted his identity, but the old Daoist was not a proper Daoist at all.

Given his Wind Dao, otherworldly appearance, can you believe that he actually married twelve wives at the age of ninety-two?

Moreover, the ages of these wives range from nineteen to ninety-nine.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Is this old man a complete scumbag? Yet all twelve of his wives still love him.

True love? Yes, true love, and they understand each other.

Because these twelve wives were all Human Reincarnation from his twelve Reincarnation.

Goodness, this old man's story could easily be the subject of a novel.

The novel is simply titled "The Untold Story of a Ninety-Two-Year-Old Man and His Twelve Reincarnated Wives!"

A long name? So what? As long as your book title is attractive, that's all that matters.

Aren't novels these days all getting longer and longer in name?

In the past, novels were mostly two or four characters long, such as Zhu Xian, Against the Immortal, Renegade Immortal the Ethereal Journey, Transforming Horses in the Heavens, and Legend of the Little Soldier.

Many novels, just mentioning their titles, can probably trigger a wave of nostalgia.

Anything with more than six characters is considered low-quality and not worth reading; anything with more than eight characters is a loss just to glance at the title.

Nowadays, novels seem to have their entire cover page dedicated to the title.

Just by looking at the title, you can already imagine the ending of the novel.

Of course, the ending is mostly just a thought; very few novels with long titles actually have a proper ending.

Oops... I've digressed. Let's get back to the main point.

Why did the old Daoist priest only have twelve generations? Because twelve was already the Limit.

He's ninety-two years old. Although he can still withstand the Ancient Qi Refining Technique, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is now scarce, and the Early Qi Refining Stage Pinnacle is his Limit.

In other words, if this old Daoist priest cannot break through, he has at most fifteen years left to live.

One of the old Daoist's goals was precisely this.

As for why the old Daoist was able to retain his memories and reincarnate, Ling Yi was still unclear; he was currently reviewing his previous life's biography.

After all, a biography isn't a memory, and there are no videos or pictures, just dry textual descriptions.

There is no record in this lifetime of how memories are preserved for Reincarnation.

While Ling Yi was reviewing the old Daoist's previous Reincarnation, the old Daoist himself wasn't idle either.

He continued, "Ahem, I was just trying to show off my skills, to pave the way for asking for favors later!"

"That makes sense, then continue!"

Need I say more?

"Get to the point, stop rambling on and on. It would be best if you said something I don't know. Weren't you just talking about the Way of Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao, the Way of Human Dao, and so on? Keep talking about that!"

Bai Yunhai was speechless. "I was just about to say this; didn't I need to lay the groundwork?"

"Actually, I don't know much either. Now that the Human Dao has been completely sealed off, the Earthly Dao is barely surviving and is on the verge of collapse. This Nether Domain Seal is the Earthly Dao's last stand."

"Yes, this is the key point," Ling Yi said, perking up his ears as he browsed through Bai Yunhai's previous life story.

"Or rather, this Nether Domain Seal is the embodiment of the Earthly Dao; simply put, the Earthly Dao wants to escape!"

This makes a lot of things connect.

The old Daoist priest was meticulous, recounting almost everything he knew in one breath.

The Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao Human Dao, and Human Primordial World mentioned by the old Daoist have absolutely nothing to do with the Primordial World. The old Daoist only used this terminology to make it easier to understand, since the meanings are similar.

But this world is far inferior to the Primordial World; they are not even on the same level. In this world, the Primordial World is merely a collection of ancient Legend and novels.

The Heavenly Dao must Fusion the Human Dao and the Earthly Dao, Unification the three to achieve true control over this world.

The moment the Human Emperor proclaimed himself "Son of Heaven," Human Dao vanished.

To avoid being schemed against by the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao created the Nether Domain Seal, which automatically appears in the hands of those with great Merit. This is not a reward, but rather a means of self-preservation through Human Dao Merit.

But ever since the ancient cultivators were wiped out by the Heavenly Dao, no living being in the world has been able to Longevity.

Having no Earthly Dao option, the underworld officials used the Authority of the Underworld as bait to lure these people who had Merit to the Underworld.

Ling Canghai was like that; he became a minor official in the Underworld Underworld, essentially guarding the gates of the Reincarnation Palace.

However, the Acquired stirred up trouble again, using human Obsession and the Obsession Thought Spirits forces to continue its schemes against the Earthly Dao.

" Earthly Dao simply turned the tables on us, hiding his thoughts within 180 Nether Domain Seal and making his escape."

Ling Yi noticed the number the old Daoist priest mentioned; it was 180, not 181.

"However, this world cannot exist without the Earthly Dao, or rather, the Authority of the Underworld cannot collapse. Therefore, an additional Nether Domain Seal was created for the Earthly Dao, imprinting all the Authority of the Underworld within it."

Ling Yi had already read through the old Daoist's previous life story and understood how the old Daoist preserved his memories and reincarnated.

However, this method is a unique skill possessed by an experienced person, and others cannot learn it even if they want to.

Or perhaps it was a backup plan left behind by the old master.

This is the last time the old Daoist will retain his memories in Reincarnation. After this, in every Reincarnation, his memories will be erased.

You really know a lot!

"You'll naturally know if you live long enough. Don't worry, there aren't many people in this world who know these things!" "Besides, even if they did know, they wouldn't get involved. The conflict between the Heavenly Dao Earthly Dao involves too much Karma. Those old comrades who got involved are all gone!"

"I had no choice but to come to you," the old Daoist said, shrugging.

Pshaw, you just can't bear to part with your wives, can you? You old scumbag!

"Not many means there are still some left? How many ancient cultivators like you are still alive today?" Ling Yi asked curiously.

"You have indeed completely mastered the Nether Domain Seal, but what I don't understand is why this last Nether Domain Seal has recognized you as its master?"

"Instead of the other way around!"

"What's reversed?" Ling Yi had a bad feeling.

"It means the Nether Domain Seal has taken over your body. When your Reincarnation ends and you return to the Underworld, that will be the time when you transform into the new Earthly Dao."

"Then what?"

"Then your consciousness will be erased by the Nether Domain Seal. The Authority of the Earthly Dao is based on fairness. Once you have consciousness, there is no longer any fairness to speak of, just like the Heavenly Dao now!"

So what's my situation now?

"You're asking the old Daoist? It's the old Daoist asking you!"

"Do you think I know?"

Just then, Daoist School appeared out of thin air in the room, Fu Qingyun, carrying Bai Xiaoyao on his back, rushed out in a panic.

" Ling Yi, Xiaoyao suddenly fainted! Please check what happened!"
