“Rumors are rampant; I’m not a reincarnated Great Emperor.”
Lu Ye spoke up.
Lin Chuyue felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this; she was hoping to hear more fascinating stories about the Great Emperors.
Lu Ye wasn’t lying to her; he truly wasn’t a reincarnated Great Emperor.
It was Yue Hongling and her group who were the reincarnated ones.
He himself was a Celestial Lord.
The lines on his forehead still resembled a single mark, but if you looked closely, you’d notice that the single line branched into eight tiny splits.
They were extremely subtle yet undeniably present.
The Heavenly Dao had already infiltrated Lu Ye’s mind, which hinted at just how high his permissions were.
However, Lu Ye hadn’t yet discovered what these permissions could actually do.
“Ding, you can’t ding, only I can ding, got it?”
Shen Xitang was still lecturing the Heavenly Dao in his mind.
But it seemed the Heavenly Dao wasn’t particularly intelligent.
“Ding, sister…”
“Ding, don’t ding!”
“Ding, don’t ding…”
“Ding, you should drip!”
“Ding, drip, clock-in successful, got it?”
“Ding, drip…”
“Ding, ah, this is annoying!”
Lu Ye couldn’t help but laugh. They let me join a Heavenly Gate, and now they’re well-behaved?
It turned out the system was the one actively seeking out the Heavenly Dao; now the Heavenly Dao was seeking them, and it seemed there was no escaping it.
The pair headed south.
The scenery of the Fourth Heaven was diverse; it had majestic landscapes, delicate beauty, strange cliffs, and primitive wilderness.
Lin Chuyue was quite the chatterbox.
While conversing with Lu Ye, she also contacted the leader of the Fourth Heaven.
The leader was known as the Drunken Sword Daoist; just hearing the name makes you wonder what kind of character he was.
“Leader, leader, Lu Ye has already joined our Heavenly Gate. How’s the situation? Have you figured out what’s going on with the Dark Divine Cult?”
“Hmm, ah~”
A long yawn echoed.
“I’ve investigated; there’s been no abnormality found so far. These people are just cultivating the normal Dark Dao.” The Drunken Sword Daoist replied in a haze.
“But didn’t we find out earlier that there’s some dark pollution power that can taint the Dao and siphon away the strength of Heaven and Earth?”
“That’s right, but we only discovered it on two occasions. I’ve already captured several members of the Dark Divine Cult, and they don’t show any signs of abnormality.”
“There’s definitely something wrong; investigate again!”
“Oh dear, little girl, it’s just not easy to investigate right now.”
“What’s the issue now?”
“I drank too much, my head’s spinning; all I want to do is sleep. How about I hand over the leadership to you? You can lead our Heavenly Gate.”
The Drunken Sword Daoist continued yawning.
“Okay, go ahead and pass it to me. Now I’m the leader of the Heavenly Gate. Drunken Sword Daoist, listen up! I command you to immediately investigate the abnormalities of the Dark Divine Cult!”
Lu Ye couldn’t help but laugh.
These two are pretty entertaining.
“I really can’t find anything! If those last two hadn’t used their powers actively, we wouldn’t have identified anything harmful to the Heavenly Dao. I’ve tried several times; truly, nothing!”
The Drunken Sword Daoist said helplessly.
“Maybe we can approach it from their Dao,” Lu Ye suddenly suggested to the Transmitting Stone.
“Lu Daoist?”
“Just call me by my name; Lu Ye here to meet Drunken Sword Daoist.”
“Alright, alright, welcome Daoist to the Heavenly Gate. What do you mean by approaching it from their Dao?” the Drunken Sword Daoist asked.
“Their cultivation of the Dark Dao only needs the other Dao to be extracted and revealed; then, we can tell at a glance whether there’s a problem or not. Just looking at the Primordial Infant won’t help.” Lu Ye had some experience in this regard.
When deducing other Daos, he usually considers in advance which enemies cultivated that Dao.
Then he would find them and borrow their Dao for a look.
Everyone’s nice; no one was unwilling.
“Hmm? How can we observe the Dao?” the Drunken Sword Daoist asked.
“Let me teach you a little method; give it a try, it might be useful.”
Lu Ye began to explain the Technique of Leaving the Dao.
In fact, Lu Ye didn’t need to think much about it; he already knew that the Dark Divine Cult was something left behind by An Li.
Better to resolve it soon anyway.
“Will it work?”
“Just try and see,” Lu Ye smiled.
Lin Chuyue looked at Lu Ye with curiosity; there’s such a strange technique?
And he says he’s not a reincarnated Great Emperor?
She had never even heard of this Technique of Leaving the Dao.
“I’ll give it a try! Wait for my report!”
The Drunken Sword Daoist wasn’t lazy; he was just laid-back. He had already tried all sorts of methods, and if they didn’t work, he simply wouldn’t make futile efforts anymore.
Now that he had a new method, he naturally wanted to test it.
Soon.
“Found it! Hahaha, found it! Indeed, it’s hiding within the Dao, such terrifying and bizarre power; it’s completely the opposite of the Heavenly Dao power! Come here, we can cleanse it now.”
The Drunken Sword Daoist exclaimed excitedly.
“Really found it!”
Lin Chuyue looked at Lu Ye with surprise.
Wow, bringing Lu Ye into the Heavenly Gate was truly the right choice.
Otherwise, they might not have known whether to eliminate the Dark Divine Cult or not.
Whether dark or light, both are part of the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Gate existed to protect the Heavenly Dao; generally, they wouldn’t take action to massacre unless it involved the Heavenly Dao.
The two figures pierced through the void.
Actually, Lu Ye had just spotted one of the sects that was besieging him, and he initially thought to eliminate them on the way.
But forget it; he wanted to give the new teammates a good impression and save the extermination for another time!
The three hadn’t yet gathered.
The Drunken Sword Daoist couldn’t resist the allure of the Aroma of Achievement in Dao, so he naturally didn’t dare to approach Lu Ye.
“You two, are you capable?” Lu Ye hadn’t interacted with Lin Chuyue or the Drunken Sword Daoist in his previous life. The Dark Divine Cult, with An Li’s help and some power from the Darkness Origin, was undoubtedly strong.
“Don’t worry about attracting; you don’t have to consider us!”
Lin Chuyue was quite confident.
“Alright, when the time comes, we’ll evenly distribute the spoils. Leave the souls to me!”
“Master… dudu… can also be left out…” the Emperor’s Banner weakly pleaded.
Purple energy surged.
Lin Chuyue glanced at the golden Ten Thousand Souls Banner, eyeing the pure purple energy.
Infinite Celestial Lord, this was the first time encountering such a Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Lu Ye completely ignored the Emperor’s Banner’s words; he couldn’t hear or understand!
The Emperor’s Banner was still young and didn’t realize its enormous potential.
Boom!
Lu Ye burst into a streak of light, rushing swiftly towards the Dark Divine Cult.
In just moments, a series of dark lights shot up to the sky; Lu Ye held the Transmitting Stone, listening to the Drunken Sword Daoist’s commands, flying straight to one location.
His figure sliced through the air.
Two figures approached at rapid speed from miles away, their momentum growing ever more terrifying.
One blade, one giant palm.
“Boom!”
