Chapter 464: Come Pit Me!

The Darkness Origin stormed off in a huff.

Seriously, I must have been blinded by pig lard to even consider taking a peek at An Li.

One more look and I might just explode!

In truth, the Darkness Origin could have just killed An Li right then and there, but at that moment, it felt that simply offing her was just too merciful.

People like her should suffer through all the world’s pains before meeting their end.

Damn it, what bad luck!

Just as the Darkness Origin was getting ready to leave, a figure appeared right in front of him.

Layers of Celestial Lord power enveloped him, and the entire Six Paths of Reincarnation was sealed off.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord had to ensure that no one could hear his conversation with the Darkness Origin.

“This humble Taoist is Reincarnation, greetings, fellow Daoist!”

Long ago, the Lord of Reincarnation had severed ties with the Buddha Sect; when he referred to a fellow Daoist, he meant a friend of the Dao.

The Darkness Origin found this rather amusing.

“Strange, how dare you show your face in front of me? That’s not really your style, is it?” The Darkness Origin was momentarily as surprised as Lu Ye.

“It seems fellow Daoist knows this humble Taoist very well?” The Reincarnation Celestial Lord said with a smile.

“It’s not that I know you, it’s just because of your reputation—everyone under the Nine Heavens knows about you!” replied the Darkness Origin.

“Pardon me for the interruption, but I stopped you out of curiosity and was hoping you could clarify something; if you’re unwilling, I won’t push, how does that sound?” said the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

The Darkness Origin was even more curious.

“That shouldn’t be; you belong to the Heavenly Dao camp. If you have questions, you should ask the Heavenly Dao. Why come to me? Aren’t you afraid I might stir up trouble and sow discord?” the Darkness Origin asked.

“Fellow Daoist is joking; I am the Lord of Reincarnation and have no such camp. I am neutral at all times.”

The Darkness Origin couldn’t help but be amazed.

Why didn’t you show up sooner? If you had appeared earlier, I might have reconsidered the idea of surrendering.

But now that I’ve already decided to surrender, here you are popping up!

The Darkness Origin looked around and felt like the words “Come Pit Me!” were glittering on the Reincarnation Celestial Lord’s forehead.

“What do you want to ask? Feel free to inquire; I assure you, I’ll disclose everything.”

“Thank you, fellow Daoist. May I ask if you are also someone who has been reborn?” the Reincarnation Celestial Lord inquired.

The Darkness Origin nodded in affirmation.

“Indeed, in my last life, I was pulled down with that bastard Nine Lives, so we both returned together.”

“Oh, I see… Fellow Daoist, just how can a Celestial Lord like Nine Lives turn back time? Such power is beyond what a single Celestial Lord should be capable of, right?” the Reincarnation Celestial Lord asked, puzzled.

The Darkness Origin started laughing but didn’t respond to that question.

“Fellow Daoist doesn’t want to get involved with karma, do you?”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord didn’t expect the Darkness Origin to bring that up.

“Fellow Daoist understands me well!”

“Then it wouldn’t be fair to ask questions without offering something in return, would it?” the Darkness Origin asked with a grin.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord…

Here I am, a high-ranking figure, usually dodging other people’s karma, and now the Darkness Origin is the one suggesting we avoid creating karma. What a thoughtful character!

“Of course, I can offer a reward; I just need to know what you require.”

The Darkness Origin pondered for a moment.

“Give me some treasures that Lu Ye currently needs for his cultivation. I need these items to lure him in; they should be sufficiently enticing to him.”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord frowned.

“Aren’t you worried Lu Ye will turn the tables on you like before, breaking your schemes and gaining huge boosts to his strength?”

The Darkness Origin chuckled helplessly.

“What can I do, fellow Daoist? The very fact that I’ve shown up doesn’t entice Lu Ye anymore; I can only offer him items he desires to lure him into my trap.”

“Besides, even if I fail, his boost in strength isn’t a bad thing for me, because once he reaches the Seventh Heaven, those friends of mine within will finally make their appearance. By then, Lu Ye will still be on the losing side!”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord thought for a moment and found some logic in that.

“Alright!”

“Great, so what other questions do you have?”

The Darkness Origin felt, since he was surrendering and bringing gifts, that was perfectly acceptable, right?

There’s a saying that goes, ‘No one minds more gifts!’

“In my last life, did I have any grudges against Lu Ye?” the Reincarnation Celestial Lord asked.

The Darkness Origin shuddered slightly.

To ask such a question! Even though the Reincarnation Celestial Lord claims he wants nothing to do with karma, once entangled, he would ruthlessly cut it out.

Reincarnation Celestial Lord, oh Reincarnation Celestial Lord, had you asked me that earlier, it would have been great!

Now I’ve already surrendered!

“Naturally, there are grudges. In my last life, you were about to achieve sainthood, yet Lu Ye beat you to it. How could you swallow that anger? Thus, you banded together with Lu Ye’s wife, Jiang Die, to instill the Reincarnation Obsession, hoping Lu Ye would falter during his tribulation, allowing you to become a saint!”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord’s eyes turned icy.

“Just as I thought, I indeed have a grudge against Lu Ye!”

“Not just a grudge, but an insurmountable enmity!”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord nodded.

“You claim Lu Ye fell during his tribulation; what kind of trial did he face in his last life?” the Reincarnation Celestial Lord asked again.

The Darkness Origin fell silent.

“Well, it was nothing too severe; after all, in his last life, he gave a lot of resources to his ex-wife, so he faced a pretty standard tribulation for sainthood.”

“Fellow Daoist, doesn’t that sound a bit dull?”

The Darkness Origin’s voice was calm, “Why do you say that, fellow Daoist?”

“Fellow Daoist, please tell me the truth.”

“That’s the truth I’m speaking!”

“Alright then, may I ask how Lu Ye was able to turn back time?”

“How would I know? That Nine Lives guy is completely nuts; during his tribulation, eight poisons hadn’t even exploded yet, and he just activated the Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gu. The moment his mindset broke, he charged right at me and self-detonated, infuriating me!”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord nodded.

“And may I ask if I witnessed Lu Ye’s tribulation ceremony in my last life?”

The Darkness Origin answered honestly, “I didn’t see a thing.”

“Huh?”

“I really didn’t see anything. You have no idea; back then, I was so excited to watch Nine Lives fall at his highest peak that I didn’t even notice anyone else.”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord…

A guy like me, and you didn’t even give me a glance?

“Fellow Daoist, would you like to join forces with me? If we team up, all you need to do is rush to the Sixth Heaven and obliterate Nine Lives. Once I become the Heavenly Dao, I’ll be the first to help you achieve sainthood. What do you think?”
