He finished reading a book and took out an ancient bamboo slip. Upon opening it, he found it recorded events from before ancient times.
However, the bamboo slip was severely damaged, with many records completely unreadable.
As he carefully unfolded the latter part of the bamboo slip, a gentle breeze blew through, causing the congealed patina of dirt on the slip to slowly crack, revealing a line of preserved text beneath.
"At the beginning of Refining God, in Shi."
Just seeing this character, he instantly understood its meaning.
He was shocked beyond belief, staring at this line of text, his mind recalling the events that had just occurred.
To read and immediately comprehend its meaning, impeccably, with not the slightest possibility of misinterpretation.
This line of text is Dao?
Why did it suddenly appear? Something must have happened at that moment.
For some unknown reason, he looked at the crooked and flawed character carved out and inexplicably thought of Yu Ziqing.
Thinking of this, he entered the ring on the Seventh Floor to contact Yu Ziqing.
Moments later, Yu Ziqing appeared like a flickering comic strip.
"Did something major happen outside? Or did you do something again?"
"I didn't do anything, I found something left by an ancestor, I made a copy of it, and also got a Dharma Method that you'll surely like."
Yu Ziqing typed out a response, casually pasting the entire Dayan Preface at the same time.
"I feel this Dharma Method is genuine only without True Intent; having True Intent becomes a misguided approach instead."
"Is there really such a thing?" Yang was taken aback, first memorizing the entire Dharma Method to study it later.
"Really nothing happened? No fighting with anyone?"
"No, I just discovered something, merely figured out how the Refining God Dao came to be."
Yang stood up, wanting to kick Yu Ziqing to death.
"We'll talk properly next time we meet."
Yang turned around and left, deciding not to ask further here.
At the same time, deep in the cave's darkness, the giant closed the Jade Tablet in a rare gesture.
A gemstone floated before him, the giant seemingly saw Yu Ziqing butting heads with Wig White Water Egg again.
"This little guy, really knows how to stir things up, constantly invoking Dao, and carelessly engraving things.
That fellow must be pushed to the brink."
The giant glanced at the gemstone sealing the Evil Lord.
"I've respected you for the name and the significance and contributions it represents.
Moreover, only you remembered a crucial anchoring point.
Now I know what the anchoring point is; it's not just you who remembers it.
Even if no one remembers, it doesn't matter anymore.
You shouldn't haggle with me, nor cause trouble for that little guy again.
He handed you over to me, already leaving a lifeline.
Otherwise, do you think you'd still be alive with his capacity for chaos?
This fearless person who dared to carve anchoring points onto Dao despite backlash, are you sure you want to mess with him?
Moreover, your fall isn't related to that little guy.
He is now avenging you in a way.
Also, you only have this awareness left, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise, you should thank him."
The giant stared at the gemstone for a long time, speaking kindly, it's unknown how he communicated with the Evil Lord through the sealing.
Moments later, the giant sighed and said.
"This is correct, let me be frank, if you don't heed my advice, I would've killed you just now to end it once and for all.
The most painful thing in my life is just knowing how to fight and kill, yet unable to kill certain things.
And I finally saw a little guy who achieved the downfall of those I couldn't kill without much fighting.
I can't let him die by your hand; as long as there's a glimmer of possibility, I'd kill you first.
After all, someone like me only knows how to kill."
Moments later, unknown to what the Evil Lord said, the giant replied.
"Forget it, just stay here obediently.
I don't believe what you're saying now.
Until he can kill you, only then will I feel at ease letting you out."
