Chapter 340: Meeting the Heavenly Dao

The Demon Clan was utterly stunned.

They had been fighting with their own innate supernatural abilities just fine, but suddenly everything changed.

A myriad of skills that weren’t part of their innate powers began to pop up like popcorn.

The moment the Witch Clan started to form formations in small groups, their battle power skyrocketed, and the Demon Clan all lost their cool.

“What the heck is happening?! This is definitely some kind of cheat!”

Actually, it wasn’t a cheat; it was just that the Ancient War of Mountains and Seas was so long ago. Back then, the cultivation system was still underdeveloped, and people relied solely on instinct and innate supernatural powers to fight. Lu Ye was now teaching them systematic combat methods.

And he began to trick the Witch Clan.

A renowned Sage Master emerged within the Witch Clan.

Not just teaching battle techniques, but also advocating changes in their cultivation system.

At this moment, eight out of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had arrived.

Compared to their enormous figures, Lu Ye looked just like an ant. But those giant eyes were fixed on Lu Ye, filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Lu Ye began his lecture.

Although the Ancestral Witches might not completely understand, it didn’t stop him from talking.

They would comprehend as much as they could.

Even if they only grasped a tiny bit, the Ancestral Witches could create some distance from the Demon Clan.

The more they understood, the greater the distance.

The Ancestral Witches didn’t understand why this Human would treat them so well, but the boost in strength was real enough for the Witch Clan to start showing goodwill towards humans.

Why did Lu Ye choose this scene?

Quite simply, he had some knowledge of the Witch Clan. They were beings devoid of Dao and Soul.

The power of the heavens and earth they commanded was entirely reliant on their supernatural powers.

To be more specific, their perceptions were limited.

The same couldn’t be said for the Demon Clan. If Lu Ye helped them, he could easily end up captured, interrogated about his immense powers, and then they would drain him dry.

Lu Ye was making the most of the upcoming calamity of heaven and earth without issues.

As the Witch Clan’s strength continuously enhanced, the Demon Clan began to retreat rapidly and switched tactics—targeting Lu Ye for assassination.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and asked Emperor Dao Hen to swallow him whole.

The Demon Clan…

Emperor Dao Hen couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene.

Clearly, Lu Ye was well-acquainted with this era and the many powerful beings.

For him, the trial of the calamity of heaven and earth posed no challenges whatsoever.

So there was no need for a trial.

Thus, the trial was completed!

While Lu Ye continued chatting with Emperor Dao Hen, the world around them started to blur and ripple with layers of light.

Emperor Dao Hen, initially quite cheerful, froze for a moment upon witnessing this shift, and his emotions started to plummet.

“Sage Master, so everything was just an illusion…”

Lu Ye remained silent.

Indeed, it was an illusion.

“Looks like we’ve lost. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been turned into phantoms.” Emperor Dao Hen was clever enough to realize the Witch Clan had lost.

“And the Demon Clan?”

Lu Ye replied, “They lost too. Both sides suffered, and the heavens and earth have been shattered by you.”

“Both sides suffered?”

Emperor Dao Hen paused for a moment, then began to flap his wings, and the whole Witch Clan perked up with excitement.

“Both sides suffering is fine by us! The Demon Clan has bullied us too much; as long as they also suffer losses, we’re satisfied!”

Lu Ye nodded with a smile as his figure began to fade.

At this moment, all the people at the Heavenly Gate in the Fourth Heaven looked up simultaneously.

A message appeared in everyone’s mind.

Someone had passed the Heavenly Fate Trial.

No way! Someone passed the Heavenly Fate Trial!

Some people at the Heavenly Gate, due to insufficient strength, didn’t even know what the Heavenly Fate Trial was.

But soon they were informed.

How is that possible?!

Didn’t they say Emperor Dao Hen couldn’t pass the Heavenly Fate Trial? How could a disciple from this realm be so brave?

After passing the Heavenly Fate Trial, the next step was to face the Heavenly Dao directly.

As long as the Heavenly Dao recognized it, a Gate Master could arise.

The Heavenly Gate hadn’t had a master for a very long time.

Who could it be?

Everyone was extremely curious.

Because the notification through the Heavenly Writ didn’t even mention the name of the one who passed the Heavenly Fate Trial.

How could the people at the Heavenly Gate not be curious?

The Moldy Swamp was notoriously dangerous; who would dare take on such bad luck?

And that trial through the Eighteen Layers of Hell, while not lethal for the strong, was absolutely brutal for the weak.

And what about stopping the calamity of heaven and earth?

Was that something they could prevent?

Who was this person, anyway?

In the Eighth Heaven, a group began questioning one another, wondering if someone had secretly gone for the Heavenly Fate Trial.

The result? No, it wasn’t anyone from the Eighth Heaven.

The Seventh Heaven folks hurriedly inquired too.

Not from the Seventh Heaven either?

Surely it couldn’t be from the Sixth Heaven?

The Sixth Heaven declared it wasn’t them either.

The people at the Heavenly Gate couldn’t help but curse under their breath—this was definitely some kind of crafty individual. Even now, they were still hiding their identity.

As for the Fifth Heaven? No way, too weak.

Fourth Heaven? What? There are people from the Fourth Heaven at the Heavenly Gate?

That was obviously a joke, but it could prove that the Fifth Heaven was out of the question, let alone the Fourth.

Who on earth was it?

Lu Ye appeared in the void.

Looking up, a one-of-a-kind, immensely familiar aura rose from above.

So familiar.

Regardless of the previous life or this one.

In the last life, after the system replaced the Heavenly Dao, whenever Lu Ye felt annoyed, he would sit in the spot with the strongest presence of the Heavenly Dao.

And in this life, those “ding ding ding” sounds in his head—did they count as the Heavenly Dao?

If those sounds didn’t count, then surely the amalgamation of all those sounds together definitely did.

So, what form would the Heavenly Dao take this time when he went to meet it?

Lu Ye’s figure soared infinitely high.

It felt like his thoughts were being stretched into a long, long line, making everything turn vague and blurry.

Finally, his consciousness materialized in a heavenly palace made entirely of clouds.

Ninety-nine heavenly steps appeared before Lu Ye.

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

Just as he prepared to ascend the steps,

“Ding, host!”

A familiar voice rang out, and soon after, a glorious rainbow light spread, revealing a petite figure standing at the gate of the heavenly palace, resembling Shen Xitang by at least sixty percent.

She started to march down the heavenly steps with her short legs but was promptly grabbed by the collar, lifting her off the ground.

Shen Xitang appeared, her stunningly beautiful face radiating arrogance and coldness.

“Ding, dog host, you see this Heavenly Dao and yet won’t kneel fast!”

“Ding, sis, let me go!”

“Ding, you’re the Heavenly Dao, be more cold and proud!”

“Ding, sis…”

Watching the Heavenly Dao flail her feet in the air, Lu Ye couldn’t help but facepalm.

“Ding, dog host, kneel!”

Lu Ye sped up the steps.

Shen Xitang panicked and quickly tossed the Heavenly Dao away.

“Ding ding ding, the dog host hit someone! Is there anyone to save the Heavenly Dao?”
