"And as for the mory Path, it is actually quite difficult to rember Him, especially since I only knew ’Playful Crane’ before, and did not know ’Nu’, almost forgetting about this matter."
"It wasn’t until I saw Lord Shou that you suddenly returned from mastering the Extre Realm of Intent that I beca a bit wary. Xu, you’ve seen Him too, haven’t you?"
About this, Xu Xiaoshou was too lazy to deny.
If Hallmaster Dao is willing to say this much, it shows he indeed has so sincerity.
He asked again, "Since you only knew Playful Crane and didn’t know Nu, and you’ve never seen His form, how did you relate the two?"
Xu Xiaoshou was perceptive.
He was almost looking at the matter from a God’s perspective, confident that Hallmaster Dao, the Ten Ancestors, and others, their understanding of Nu was not as deep as his own.
Hallmaster Dao was still within this mountain—if he hadn’t even seen Nuoyi and Nuomian, "Playful Crane" and "Nu" were completely unrelated!
Hallmaster Dao: "The Way of the Heavens’ energy movent shouldn’t be revealed~"
This guy... Xu Xiaoshou thought of Bai Zhou, could it be that he accessed the images of Demon Ancestor, Nuozu, and others in the mories of the Scale White Witch and finally linked them together?
It’s not important.
He was too lazy to waste more words with this scoundrel, who constantly felt he was about to extract so information, so he decided to end the idle talk and return to the main topic:
"After saying so much, my Dao, what exactly do you wish to convey ultimately?"
The Spirit Rhinoceros Technique transmitted a light laugh, Hallmaster Dao was very sincere:
"Lord Shou, aside from , even as powerful as the Eight Gods, none of them have any traces of Nu."
"This proves you and I are the sa kind of people, we are geniuses."
"Let’s collaborate!"
This "collaboration" referred to the highest level of collaboration beyond the Third Ancestor, or perhaps a surface collaboration while secretly continuing mutual exploitation?
If it’s the latter, it’s unnecessary.
If it’s the forr, honestly, Xu Xiaoshou doesn’t trust Hallmaster Dao.
"Alright, and what kind of collaboration thod would that be?" Xu Xiaoshou calculated with his fingers, also deducing an "unaccomplished" outco, he intended to use their strengths against them, first keeping the Dao on hold, and discussing other matters later.
"No, no, Xu, you and I know each other well, I have already confided in you up to this point, this ’collaboration’ is not intended to be limited to the surface."
"Oh? Then, a deeper collaboration, what kind of deep thod would that be?" Xu Xiaoshou found it amusing, did this Elder Dao the Flamboyant really think he had "credit" among outsiders?
"Lord Shou, when I first t you at Abyss Island, I didn’t intentionally target you, but rather candidly ntioned that the doors of the Holy Divine Palace are always open to you, right?"
This...
Was indeed the case?
But later various "handshake" patterns were indeed terrifying, anyway, that flamboyant Dao didn’t have good intentions!
"In the Four Symbols Secret Realm, I linked with Bei Huai, and now Lord Shou should understand what this ans, right? Even so, driving you from Yu Lingdi to Qingyuan Mountain, then to the Apricot Realm, and finally to Changde Town... ultimately I missed a step, Lord Shou can see this, right?"
This...
Could be seen as such.
But even if the small town was filled with Divine Puppets, if Hallmaster Dao wanted to use them against him, would Kui Leihan turn a blind eye?
"If I threatened with Erzhu’s life, even if I ultimately didn’t harm Erzhu, do you think Cao Yihan, who doesn’t know , would choose to help or stand aside without intervening?" Hallmaster Dao seed to possess a Mind Reading Technique.
Oh?
A threat to force cooperation?
Xu Xiaoshou was amused, his tone suddenly beca humble:
"Hallmaster Dao, at that ti I was just a pawn, not worth mourning, Bazhun’an might not have saved , right?"
"And you too, don’t use past favors to demand I repay with sweet wine... I have not reckoned with the details of the process at the ti, that counts as being pretty good, right?"
Since it’s negotiation, Hallmaster Dao naturally wouldn’t lower himself, not responding to this, then saying:
"As for Divine Relics, regardless of the Three Ancestors and others, including your choices, who do you think I value most?"
Xu Xiaoshou laughed heartily: "How would I know, I’m not your parasite."
"It’s you."
Hallmaster Dao spoke resolutely, showing true emotions: "Xu Xiaoshou, I value you most."
This sudden expression felt nauseating.
In the Qianshi Emperor Realm, Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t help but shiver, tremblingly responding: "Alright, alright, I’ll cooperate deeply with you, but how can I trust you?"
Hallmaster Dao was well-prepared:
"Lord Shou..."
"You and I are not of the sa path."
This was worth pondering.
The implication being that even if ultimately each ancestor robs the path, if he, Hallmaster Dao, gets involved, he wouldn’t steal from himself, right?
In other words, could it be Hallmaster Dao truly intends to steal not just one ancestor’s path among the Three Ancestors, but possibly all of them?
This guy, what exactly is he up to...
Xu Xiaoshou indeed felt a sense of crisis.
Compared to being enemies with the Tree Hallmaster Dao, whether it’s deep cooperation or surface-level cooperation, he leans towards cooperation, and his tone beca a bit more serious:
"What do I need to do?"
"Of course, you need to do sothing." Hallmaster Dao would never discuss cooperation with soone useless. "You might not fully trust or do much, but in our cooperation, the most critical point is at the key mont... Lord Shou, you cannot obstruct ."
This was a bit overbearing.
What if it conflicts with my interests?
Just as Xu Xiaoshou had this thought, Hallmaster Dao spoke again:
"Rest assured, Lord Shou, I won’t put you in a difficult position."
"Since it’s deep cooperation, I dare to make a promise in advance to show my sincerity."
"When the ti cos, if Lord Shou wants sothing, whether it’s any of the ancestors’ paths, or sothing external, or anything else, as long as it doesn’t have a decisive relation to my ultimate goal, even if it affects myself or my plans, I will help you obtain it."
"As long as you, Xu Xiaoshou, ask, I, Hallmaster Dao, will certainly assist. I swear by this, how does that sound?"
Xu Xiaoshou felt his heart move and tentatively said: "What if I say, I want Bazhun’an alive... to beco Gods and Ancestor, two into one, a return to zero, recognize clearly, after fighting Sword Deity Hua, still having a complete Body, Spirit, and Will, and the ability to sustainably live?"
Hallmaster Dao: "..."
He was rendered speechless.
Is this "one" condition?
This is a jumble of all the long sentences, right!
"Lord Shou, the battle of robbing path is not child’s play. If I dare to make such a comprehensive promise to you, it would seem..."
"I agreed."
"What?" The sudden change left Hallmaster Dao a bit bewildered.
"Deep cooperation, I agreed, just with your condition, normally listening to you, at key monts listening to , if in the end, we still need to part ways, then we’ll talk about that later."
"Alright!" Hallmaster Dao’s tone beca heavier, like pulling out an uncertain thorn from his heart.
"But in terms of actual actions, how exactly do we cooperate, my path, you haven’t said yet?" Xu Xiaoshou was not one for empty talk.
Coincidentally, Hallmaster Dao was also the practical type, when they were birds of a feather, the two almost breathed with the sa nose:
"Information sharing, Lord Shou."
"What you have, you don’t need to tell , I only need you to point out what you think is critical and possibly overlooked by because your sensing of the Way of the Heavens’ energy movent, after all, is stronger than mine." Hallmaster Dao paused as he spoke. "Everything I have, I’ll tell you, what do you think?"
"This..." Xu Xiaoshou grinned. Doesn’t this an I can stay silent the whole ti and enjoy Hallmaster Dao’s information for free, "isn’t this a bit unfair?"
"Then we’ll keep it this way." Hallmaster Dao easily heard Xu’s eagerness.
"By the way, since it’s deep cooperation, there’s one thing I need to discuss with you." Xu Xiaoshou had a sudden idea.
"What is it?"
"It’s very simple, I also cooperate with Dao Peipei, his wisdom and ability are similar to yours and on par with you. And since you, Hallmaster Dao, and Dao Pepei are related to ’Xu Jingtian’, if his words and yours contradict, who should I listen to?"
After Xu Xiaoshou asked this, he almost stood up and applauded himself.
Is Hallmaster Dao, Dao Peipei?
If so, between Hallmaster Dao and Dao Peipei, who is primary and who is secondary?
Which part of the words Elder Dao the Flamboyant said at the beginning were true, and which were false?
If he dares to give a vague answer, it ans this "deep cooperation" was a scam from the start.
A win-win situation in four aspects!
This question also left Hallmaster Dao speechless for a while.
Xu Xiaoshou calmly waited, just to see how Elder Dao the Flamboyant would respond, whether he would still dare to equivocate — let’s see if I can’t tie you up!
"Lord Shou..."
"Hmm?"
"Here’s what I think, if you trust , listen to him openly and listen to in secret; I’ll diate how it’s done. If you trust him, do the reverse, but make sure you disguise it well so that I won’t see through it."
Xu Xiaoshou laughed in disbelief, you’re really good at dodging.
"Hallmaster Dao."
"Hmm?"
"Forgive my stupidity, I don’t understand such convoluted things. I just want a straightforward answer."
These words made Hallmaster Dao silent again.
After a while, he stopped beating around the bush, and his next words were filled with murderous intent:
"Lord Shou..."
"Dao Ancestor, there can and only should be one!"
