Upon hearing Liu Xingyao's words, the bigwigs present were all stunned.
rule?
In the face of Liu Xingyao, this fake Heavenly Dao, the big shots of the cultivation world all restrained their arrogance and became very docile and polite.
But now, upon hearing Liu Xingyao mention the word "rules," they all glared at Tianxianzi with murderous intent.
That bastard! He didn't say anything at all!
What are rules anyway?!
Even with her thick skin, Tianxianzi was starting to feel the pressure.
It should be noted that although he gave a general account of what happened after he entered the Heavenly Dao, he concealed the key details and crucial aspects.
The purpose was to sabotage these people.
Who wouldn't want to gain an advantage in a competition?
But now this fact has been brutally exposed by Liu Xingyao, and even Tianxianzi's old face is slightly red.
"Well, well... I've gotten quite old lately and have developed some dementia. I've forgotten about this myself, so naturally I didn't mention it to you fellow Daoists."
Tianxianzi blushed slightly, patted her forehead, and bowed to Liu Xingyao and the others.
"I hope that the Heavenly Dao Lord and all fellow Daoists will forgive me."
The Celestial Maiden and that wicked Taoist are somewhat different.
If it were a wicked Taoist, he'd probably just smile and look at you with amusement.
See what I'm going to do about it? I'm going to screw you over.
Even a fairy godmother has some shame.
"Alright, since you've forgotten, I'll say it again."
Liu Xingyao shrugged, not caring at all.
"To obtain the Heavenly Dao position is simple, there is only one way: defeat me." Although Liu Xingyao only uttered a few simple words, the powerful cultivators present felt an immense pressure.
This sense of pressure came from their hearts, from their wariness of Liu Xingyao's naturalness and confidence.
“There are two ways to challenge me,” Liu Xingyao said, holding up two fingers.
"The first option is a direct challenge, whether it's a group fight or a one-on-one duel, the method is up to you. Of course, if you attack me, I might let you go if I'm in a good mood, but if I'm in a bad mood, I might kill you on the spot."
"The second method is to follow the rules of this world and challenge the Heavenly Dao through those rules. The winner will gain the Heavenly Dao position, and the loser will not die, but will lose the Heavenly Dao position."
"These are the two ways I'm challenged."
As Liu Xingyao spoke, he nodded and explained the specific details to the powerful cultivators who had infiltrated the cultivation world.
This was all fabricated by Liu Xingyao with great effort.
The sickly man looked puzzled and raised his hand like a primary school student.
Liu Xingyao extended his arm. "Hmm? You have a question? Go ahead and ask."
"Lord Heavenly Dao, why did you choose to tell us how we were challenged? You could have simply kept quiet."
It wasn't just the sickly man; all the bigwigs present shared this doubt.
Hmm... Except for the celestial maiden.
After all, this wasn't his first time here.
“I already answered that old man once before,” Liu Xingyao said with a smile, shaking his head. “Because I’m tired of sitting in the position of Heavenly Dao.”
“The Way of Heaven is also very troublesome. It needs to be controlled in many ways, and it doesn’t give you the freedom you have. You want to be the Way of Heaven, but I want to be an ordinary person.” Liu Xingyao sighed. “It’s like a besieged city. People inside want to get out, and people outside want to get in.”
"The Heavenly Dao Lord could pass on the position to someone else by acting, such as deliberately failing," the hunchbacked old man suggested, his eyes lighting up. If that were possible, things would be much simpler.
Liu Xingyao scoffed, "What do you think the position of Heaven is? A child's candy?"
“Even as the Heavenly Dao, I cannot do as I please.” Liu Xingyao pointed a finger at the hunched old Taoist priest. “As your creator, I will now teach you a lesson.”
"I hope the Heavenly Dao will enlighten me." The hunchbacked old Taoist bowed deeply, his face solemn, and listened attentively.
“All things in heaven and earth must follow rules to operate. The Way of Heaven has its rules, and cultivators have their own rules.” Liu Xingyao’s words were profound. “You may feel that you have been doing whatever you want, but you don’t know that you have been walking within the rules that you should be in.”
"If you don't follow the rules and act recklessly, the consequences... well, that's all I'll say."
Liu Xingyao gave everyone present a deep look, adding immense pressure to them.
The Heavenly Dao, watching Liu Xingyao perform a bizarre act in the True Heavenly Dao Space, which stunned the group of cultivators, couldn't help but laugh and applaud!
Go ahead and make things up!
He was holding the bag of original flavor potato chips, eating them while watching Liu Xingyao show off, having a blast.
In Tiandao's words, it's even more exciting than watching anime!
Seeing the powerful cultivators present being fooled by his nonsense, Liu Xingyao was secretly overjoyed.
Regardless of what they want to do, let's say a few meaningless things to make them rack their brains first, and then it will be easier to deal with them later.
"Slap, slap."
Liu Xingyao clapped his hands twice, waking the cultivation world leaders who had been deep in thought from their reverie.
“You haven’t reached that level yet, so don’t overthink it.” Liu Xingyao stood up. “Give me an answer now: do you want to challenge according to the rules, or do you want to challenge with force?”
The Celestial Maiden was the first to bow and make her choice, "This old man chooses to challenge according to the rules."
After saying that, he didn't even look at the big shots present, closed his eyes, and sat down to regulate his breathing.
The other big shots all glared at Tianxianzi with murderous intent. This old fox must be hiding a lot more!
What I told them was all irrelevant information! Damn it!
"And what about the other nine of you?" Liu Xingyao turned his gaze to the remaining people.
"Huh? Nine people?" The sickly man was taken aback. He quickly realized, "Where's the treacherous Taoist?!"
Just then, a dull black blade silently appeared on Liu Xingyao's forehead, falling without a trace of smoke or fire, piercing through Liu Xingyao's entire body from top to bottom.
"It seems you've chosen to challenge me with force..."
Liu Xingyao's body had clearly been slashed by a sharp blade, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever, and he remained standing in the same spot.
The attack from this malevolent Taoist was completely unable to break the spell left by the Heavenly Dao on Liu Xingyao, and could not harm Liu Xingyao at all. The black blade merely pierced through Liu Xingyao without causing any damage.
Seeing that its attack had failed, the black blade vanished without a trace once more.
While maintaining a calm and collected facade, Liu Xingyao mentally appealed to the heavens, "I'm about to make my move! Give me the most powerful energy boost!"
