As you step forward, a vast and mysterious aura greets you.

The enormous palace was incredibly spacious, and within it, Xiao Boqi's figure appeared exceptionally small.

The moment he stopped, what appeared before him was a huge throne, upon which sat a colossal figure, hundreds of feet tall, with his eyes closed.

The body of heaven.

The figure simply sat there with his eyes closed, but the oppressive aura emanating from him made Ye Boqi's breath catch in his throat.

It contains immense energy, but lacks a soul.

This is an unclaimed object. If you devour and refine it, you will become the second Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao that suppresses all living beings on the continent.

This was an enormous temptation, but Xiao Boqi simply stood there without making a move.

Even his eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

well!

After a long while, a soft sigh echoed in the vast, empty hall, and then a blurry figure appeared before Yi Boqi.

"You have finally revealed yourself, Ancestor."

Looking at the blurry phantom that appeared before him, Xiao Boqi spoke calmly.

Because this blurry figure was none other than the progenitor of the Qi Clan, Qi Laoxie.

"You are more perfect than I imagined, my descendant."

A smile of extreme satisfaction appeared on Old Xie's face as he looked at Qi Boqi and said with a smile.

"But you are uglier than I imagined."

Qi Boqi's words made Qi Laoxie burst into laughter.

"But you are all born graceful and handsome, which proves that what I did was right."

He pointed a finger at Xiao Boqi.

"Right and wrong are very important."

Then he pointed at the Heavenly Dao itself behind him.

"After ten thousand years of planning, today we finally see the fruits of our labor. Once you refine it, you will possess the power of the Heavenly Dao, and my family will become the masters of the continent."

Old Xie spoke with great pleasure, his face showing extreme satisfaction, but Xi Boqi still didn't move.

"The Way of Heaven?"

"But isn't your goal to make me replace the order of heaven and earth and become the true ruler?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Laoxie nodded.

"That's the final step. Before that, you have to become the Heavenly Dao. Only with the power of the Heavenly Dao can you carry out that final step of changing the heavens."

"I have been planning for ten thousand years, and this is the day. My descendants, go! Go and take the foundation of the supreme glory of my Yi family, and let my Yi family become the supreme ruler of this world!"

After nodding, He Boqi spoke again.

"The ancestor's schemes are truly astonishing, but why did the ancestor, who disappeared for so long, finally appear in this Heavenly Dao Palace? And why is the divine soul of the Heavenly Dao inside the body of the witch?"

Upon hearing this, Old Xie chuckled.

"Alright, now that you've come this far, it means my plan has succeeded. Since you want to know, I'll tell you about it."

“Bo’er should have already told you about the origin of the Heavenly Way, and you should know what the Heavenly Way is planning, but you should not know where the Heavenly Way’s weakness lies.”

"Back then, after Zhang Laozi, Fatian, and I left that small town, I kept thinking about a question: who controls the order of heaven and earth, or rather, who is in charge of judging it?"

As he spoke, the phantom of Old Evil Qi sat cross-legged on the spot, pointed to the opposite side of him, and gestured for Qi Boqi to sit down as well.

"Then what are the standards for this judgment? Is it based on reason, or can it be determined solely by personal preference who is a genius and who will remain unknown and end up as a pile of rotten bones?"

"At the time, Zhang Laozi didn't take my question seriously. He thought we were all just ordinary people, and it was extremely difficult for us to even survive. Why waste time thinking about something that had no answer?"

"Fa Tian also felt that instead of worrying about this, it would be better to join a powerful sect. When his strength reached a certain level, he would naturally know the result. So he joined a sect to study, while Zhang Laozi and I started to struggle to survive."

"Despite the extremely difficult situation at the time, I kept thinking, if everything was arranged by the Heavenly Dao, then where did the Heavenly Dao come from, and where did it obtain its power from?"

"Later I gradually discovered that the Heavenly Way is just like an emperor on earth. Everything about the people and even cultivators is decided by the emperor. With a single thought, he can make a commoner a nobleman and a great figure respected by everyone, and with a single thought, he can erase a person with extraordinary talent and turn him into a handful of dust."

At this point, Old Xie smiled faintly.

"Although these were all just my guesses at the time, I felt that this must be the case. Where do earthly emperors come from?"

"He came from an ordinary person, but because of his strategic planning, his immense strength, and the faith and followers he had, he became an emperor and a god who could control the fate of others."

As she spoke, she looked at Yi Boqi.

"Emperors die, and even the most powerful dynasties are overthrown. So who is it that overthrows a dynasty and becomes the next emperor?"

Before Qi Boqi could answer, Qi Laoxie continued.

"He is also a human being, someone who grew up step by step from obscurity. But the change of dynasties requires a catalyst, which is to act when the foundation of the dynasty is corrupt and shaken, in order to kill the emperor and overthrow the dynasty."

"And the so-called Way of Heaven is also based on this principle."

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Celestial Realm.

"It's like hearing that the Heavenly Dao is located in the heavens, with a celestial palace in the sky. But as you can see, the Heavenly Dao is only separated from mortals by a boundary array. It's not as mysterious as it sounds."

"So at that time I concluded that the so-called Heavenly Way is also a person, only one who possesses a power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

"Anyone can be killed, and anyone can be replaced."

"In that case, if I plan properly, I can also control the life, death, wealth and status of others in the hands of Heaven, and I can also make an ordinary person into a supreme and respected person."

"In order to verify what I thought, I have been traveling to every corner of the continent, and even to major sects. I have discovered where the beginning of cultivation comes from, and I have also discovered the pattern of the birth of the child of destiny."

"The results proved that my speculations were correct. The cultivation method was not created by the Heavenly Dao, but came from an ancient race. The chosen ones were not created by the Heavenly Dao, but were merely its subordinates gathered for itself by using the power of the order of heaven and earth."

"Just like the people you've gathered around you along the way, this so-called Heavenly Way, in my view, is nothing more than the ability of a human prime minister."

"It is merely borrowing, not owning, and in this process, it is equivalent to the treacherous ministers of the human dynasty who harbor rebellious intentions. It is stealing a country, but what it is stealing is the order of heaven and earth."

After saying that, he pointed at himself.

"And I am the one who overthrows the dynasty. I steal the order of heaven and earth, and once the order of heaven and earth discovers the deed, it will be the first to be executed, not me."

"So what I did was help it seize the country, and when it succeeded, I took everything from it for my own use. At that time, it was regarded as a traitor by the order of heaven and earth, and the foundation of the order of heaven and earth was completely shaken."

After saying that, he clenched his fist at Yiboqi.

"They are all pawns in my game."
