Chapter 3325: Chapter 1668: All Parties Lend an Ear to this Will Path, A Challenge Across Domains Delivered to the Sacred Mountain

“It’s about to start, this mouth…”

In Feng Family City of the Southern Region, on the First Viewing Platform.

Hallmaster Dao, with his sleeves down, stood amidst a crowd teeming with dragons and fish, unnoticed by anyone.

Adjacent was a cacophony of heated discussions.

Some were discussing Lord Shou’s philosophy, deducing his current personal stance.

Others looked further, interpreting the relationship between Lord Shou and Hallmaster Dao, speculating the extent of their good terms.

Here and now, only a very small minority still supported Hallmaster Dao, dismissing the so-called “Puppet Manipulation Thread” and “Divine Secret” as slanders by Lord Shou and calling for Hallmaster Dao to step forward and clarify.

In normal times, Hallmaster Dao would undoubtedly join in their idle chatter, expressing his own viewpoints.

But now, he merely smiled wryly, without engaging in conversation.

There was no way to clarify!

The words that Xu Xiaoshou spoke before the five regions were like water spilled, impossible to take back.

Even if he wanted to retract them, he couldn’t change public opinion which was set in stone.

Even if he himself wanted to clarify, it would only further soil his reputation; it was utterly beyond clarification.

Moreover, as clever as Hallmaster Dao was, he could completely see that Xu Xiaoshou dragging him into the mess was just by the way.

In his story, the personal emotions laced within not only failed to provoke aversion but rather grounded the originally elusive concepts into something tangible and credible to people.

And looking beyond appearances to his true intent, what he actually wanted to do was to “Enlighten the wisdom” among the common folk through the Five Domains Preaching Mirror.

“The great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor, Yue Bei Hua Rao Dao, I have indeed heard of them, but why is it that normally, I can hardly recall them? Why?”

“Rao Yaoyao, Beibei, right, it is precisely because their surnames are Rao and Bei that they have had so many opportunities. Look at the Moon Sword Immortal, he only erred once, and for that, his arm was severed.”

“Freedom, meaning, cultivation… Yes, I once pursued these myself, and then somehow forgot. I am like a…”

Puppet!

Hallmaster Dao looked around as if he could see every Spiritual Cultivator having a thread named “Guidance” and “Forget” hanging above their heads.

He bore the surname Dao, and understood better than anyone else, that these people were all puppets, also known as Saint Servants.

But now, those zombies standing before the Preaching Mirror, have suddenly awakened, due to a few words from Xu Xiaoshou?

No!

Not just because of that.

Also because of…

“The Great Path of Will!”

Hallmaster Dao slowly reached out his hand, touching the void as if savoring something.

He could faintly sense the space around him fluctuating intensely, invisibly transmitting individual “Branding” to him.

Branding, what was it?

Of course, it’s the prerequisite for the God Descent Technique, those marks that Hallmaster Dao had once casually laid down like a dog marking its territory.

Now, Xu Xiaoshou was not only preaching to the five regions, but also sprinkling his mark everywhere.

However, the difference was, he had no intention of possessing all of the Spiritual Cultivators in the five regions.

The brands related to the Will Path that he marked, each influenced everyone nearby and also guided those not yet close to gradually approach.

The purpose was to sever the threads manipulated by the Five Great Holy Emperor Families that were tethered above the heads of these zombies!

“Using Super Dao Hua Yi to counter the Holy Emperor’s Guidance, the Holy Emperor’s power of oblivion…”

“Xu Xiaoshou, you’re really too bold…”

Hallmaster Dao could no longer describe his complex feelings.

If he were thirty years younger, he might have agreed with Xu Xiaoshou’s approach. But now he only thinks this kid is too young and reckless!

In the latter stages of the Divine Relics, Hallmaster Dao had already noticed a qualitative change in Xu Xiaoshou’s understanding of the Will Path.

After leaving the Divine Relics, he realized even more that Xu Xiaoshou had digested his own understandings of the Memory Great Path and applied them to his Will Path.

But Hallmaster Dao never expected that, just after one day, this kid would step out of the fiery pit and ready his axe to wildly slash across the Shengshen Continent.

He not only wanted to speak.

He also wanted to ensure that all who heard him speak would remember what he said.

“Is this what it means to be naive and fearless?”

The influence left by the Five Great Holy Emperor Families was densely packed and of supremely high quality. What could Xu Xiaoshou, a single person, possibly achieve? At best, he might affect a handful of the world’s people in front of the Preaching Mirror.

In the grand scheme of things, it was a drop in the ocean; it couldn’t change the overall situation.

However, the consumption was terrifying–if he covered the five regions with Spatial Upanishad and branded the continent with the Will Path, even Hallmaster Dao himself would be wrung dry if he went up there.

Yet Xu Xiaoshou stood before the Preaching Mirror without even taking a dose of Holy Medicine and continued with his actions.

Even Bazhun’an had to endure for thirty years, even he had to feign death to escape a predicament, yet this fool thought he could move mountains and fill seas with the power of one man and one family’s words?

Can a single spark truly start a prairie fire?

Hallmaster Dao’s eyes flickered as he looked up to the sky.

The sky of the Shengshen Continent was not always covered with a layer of gloom like that of the Divine Relics; it was very clear, but even harder to understand.

In a certain moment, Hallmaster Dao felt bewildered.

He didn’t know whether it was because he had grown old and thus lost the passion of his youth.

Or whether it was because as he grew up, he truly believed that only the most flawless plans could break the most comprehensive arrangements.

He looked into the void, his mind drifting back to Abyss Island and his memories of bygone days.

The him of the past could also be considered a reckless fool, who despite numerous obstacles, stubbornly researched the creation of a Heavenly Mechanism Puppet with a life of its own. If that’s not foolhardy, then what is?

What then was the key turning point that transformed the reckless man into a wise man?

Hallmaster Dao pondered and soon had his answer.

The birth of No.1!

Until No.1 fell on Abyss Island under the guidance of those five indomitable elders!
