Tianxiao, who was pinned to the ground, was furious but couldn't utter a word, receiving the same treatment as Shenxiao.
If he could, he would still prefer to attain the same realm as Shenxiao, rather than receive the same treatment!
Although what was displayed this time was merely a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, it seemed to make no difference whether it fell into Lin Jinglong's hands or Lin Wudi's.
Both of these individuals are truly capable of unleashing the core power of the Heavenly Dao fragments. Even a True Monarch of the third rank like him has no way to deal with Lin Jinglong.
His mood gradually became extremely gloomy.
He could only grit his teeth and say, "Lin Jinglong, don't kill me yet. You probably want to know a lot of things, right?"
"Now, only I can tell you the truth!"
"Don't you want to know how Lin Wudi died?"
Lin Jinglong's gaze shifted.
The others around him also gathered around.
"Let's hear what he has to say first?"
Huangfu Kong said excitedly.
They were all curious why Lin Wudi, who clearly still had the strength to fight, was defeated by Shenxiao because he did not actually use the core power of the Heavenly Dao.
They couldn't understand any of this.
For now, we can only understand it as Lin Wudi wanting to completely pass on his power and invincible bloodline to Lin Jinglong.
But Tianxiao then gave a different answer.
"Lin Wudi did not truly abandon the power of the Heavenly Dao; at least, he did not abandon it voluntarily. Rather, he could no longer bear that power!"
Why?
"The Heavenly Dao of the lower realm bore too much power, so it collapsed on its own. Lin Wudi could only barely control it until Shenxiao went to the Immortal Gate to try to break through the passage between the two realms that Lin Wudi had blocked. In the end, Shenxiao succeeded!"
"Why would the power of the Heavenly Dao be reduced to such a state of shattering?"
Lin Jinglong frowned as he looked at him.
Tianxiao said in a suppressed voice, "This is all Lin Wudi's conspiracy. That guy planned it all back then. He didn't have the ability to kill Shenxiao, or rather, he never even thought of killing Shenxiao."
"His presence at the crossroads between the two realms appears to be a delaying tactic to prevent people from the upper realm from plundering the lower realm, but in reality, he is using the Heavenly Dao as a trap to secretly steal a large amount of spiritual energy from the upper realm and integrate it into the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm."
"Haven't you noticed that all the lower realm spiritual veins, including this dragon vein, have become more than ten times stronger than they were back then?"
Lin Jinglong nodded subconsciously.
They naturally noticed it as well.
They had been wondering where this power came from, but now that Tianxiao explained, they realized that it was all part of Lin Wudi's plan.
This power was actually stolen from the upper realm?
"He used the Heavenly Dao as a teleportation hub, including himself, to transfer the power of the Upper Realm to the Immortal Gate. After the Heavenly Change, the Immortal Gate opened, and this power was transferred to the Lower Realm in the same way as the Heavenly Dao!"
Tianxiao added as a final note.
Lin Jinglong looked at him suspiciously.
"Then how do you know these things? And since Lin Wudi has turned around and seized your resources, why don't you take action against him?"
Upon hearing this, Tianxiao fell silent.
He shook his head and said in a gloomy tone, "I can only answer your second question. The reason why the Upper Realm did not take action is that we cannot truly defeat Lin Wudi. After all, at that time, he had the core of the Heavenly Dao in his hands. To be his enemy is equivalent to defeating the entire Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm, which is not something that just anyone can do."
"Only a few people, including Shenxiao, have the ability to barely rival a true immortal and can fight Lin Wudi, but none of them are willing to do so."
Why?
"Nonsense. If I were to perish in a battle against Lin Wudi, wouldn't that be a huge loss? Shenxiao is a prime example. Which of the remaining ninth-tier True Monarchs would dare to take such a risk?"
"So you'd rather watch a huge amount of spiritual energy from the Upper Realm be devoured than make a sacrifice to deal with Lin Wudi?"
Lin Jinglong's expression was somewhat strange.
In his view, these True Lords were truly despicable and scheming individuals. Even though Lin Wudi had taken a huge advantage of them, they were unwilling to unite and kill him.
Tianxiao sighed and said, "It's not that no one has mentioned taking down Lin Wudi, but in the end they had to give up. After all, their strength was too weak, and those who truly had the ability to deal with Lin Wudi were unwilling to make sacrifices."
"And so it dragged on for a whole cycle of heaven and earth, until Lin Wudi absorbed enough spiritual power and then returned it to the lower realm, which led to the current situation."
Lin Jinglong once again showed a thoughtful expression.
"So, what is Lin Wudi's purpose?"
Is it just a matter of plundering the spiritual power of the upper realm and transferring it to the lower realm, but in the end, doesn't the lower realm still end up being controlled by others?
Lin Jinglong was somewhat puzzled.
Tianxiao chuckled and shook his head, saying, "You don't understand Lin Wudi's true plan at all. He knows that it's impossible for one person to permanently separate the upper and lower realms."
"So the real idea is to use the spiritual power he stole back to cultivate strong individuals in the lower realm, so that the power between the upper and lower realms can return to a state of balance. Only in this way can independence and peace be maintained!"
Tianxiao's words cleared up all of Lin Jinglong's doubts.
This includes the secrets of the Heaven and Earth Connection, Lin Wudi's eventual demise, and the entire process of the Heavenly Change.
At this moment, Tianxiao said in a complicated tone, "The lower realm is now a treasure land, and those people in the upper realm naturally want to devour all the resources of the lower realm."
"As for whether you can regain control of the lower realm through the spiritual power he stole, as Lin Wudi envisioned, I cannot guarantee it."
"But I can guarantee one thing: whoever can seize the complete core of the Heavenly Dao will become the ruler of the lower realm. That is the most important thing. Those fools like Huang Lin think that killing you, Lin Jinglong, will earn them a reward from the Divine Firmament True Monarch, but it is meaningless."
"The core of the Heavenly Dao is the most valuable thing!"
Tianxiao looked at the crystal in Lin Jinglong's hand with an extremely greedy expression.
Lin Jinglong shrugged and said, "Your idea isn't much better. After all, your strength is too low. Even if you seize the core of the Heavenly Dao, you won't be able to hold onto it."
"you……"
Tianxiao was furious after Lin Jinglong gave him a critique.
He suddenly grinned maliciously and said, "I sensed that the fluctuations in the aura here have already attracted the attention of the other True Monarchs in Kyoto. Do you think you can protect this fragment of the Heavenly Dao Core with your strength?"
"Even now, you haven't truly refined this core; you haven't fully unleashed its power!"
He was filled with envy and jealousy towards Lin Jinglong, but he also pointed out a clear path for Lin Jinglong.
Lin Jinglong nodded and said, "That's right. I'm going to refine this core next. You can stand aside and watch. Just don't be too envious."
