After a moment of silence, Rakshasa continued...
"Ling Feng's strength is indeed formidable and unmatched, but he is not invincible. You must know that the key to opening the Heavenly Path is not something that only we cultivators of the Burial Realm desire..."
Tuoba San curled his lip in disdain and said sarcastically.
"So you've joined forces with the Void God Realm to attack Senior Ling Feng? This is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin..."
Rakshasa sighed, her expression somewhat lost. Indeed, as Tuoba San said, they had made a mistake and paid a heavy price, even being suppressed here herself…
"Ling Feng's power put unimaginable pressure on everyone. Under those circumstances, everyone wanted to take a gamble. If they could obtain the key to open the Heavenly Path, it would mean they could walk the Heavenly Path again, obtain an immortal position, and achieve immortality..."
Under such temptation, no one can remain rational. Our strength has gradually reached the pinnacle of this world. The only way to advance further is to retrace the Heavenly Path. Ling Feng is a mountain blocking everyone's path. Killing him will bring everyone liberation..."
At this point, Luosha paused, looking at Tuoba San to see his reaction. Ling Feng listened silently from the side, never expecting that simply keeping the key safe would make him the target of everyone's anger...
"So what is your plan?"
Hearing Tuoba San's questioning, Luosha sighed. Not seeing the reaction she wanted, she could only continue helplessly.
"So we contacted the Void God Realm. Normally, the Void God Realm cannot enter the Burial Realm because their Heavenly Daos are different. The combat power of the people from the Void God Realm would be greatly reduced in the Burial Realm, so we need extra assistance at this time..."
"The Way of Heaven, this is the time for the Way of Heaven to step in..."
Upon hearing Tuoba San's words, Luosha glanced sideways, then nodded and said...
"That's right, it's the Heavenly Dao. Without the Heavenly Dao, this assassination would not have succeeded. After all, powerful individuals are highly sensitive to life-or-death crises. If this sensitivity hadn't been blocked, and Ling Feng had sensed it beforehand, this assassination would have been impossible..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but gasp. Although he had suspected it, hearing with his own ears that it was the Heavenly Dao that had intervened still shocked him greatly…
"The Heavenly Dao cannot interfere with the trajectory of any living being in the Burial Realm, so how could it be the Heavenly Dao that intervened?"
Ling Feng murmured in disbelief. He never imagined that he would ultimately die at the hands of the Heavenly Dao, a thought that shook even his Dao heart…
"Heaven's Dao did not attack you. What you said is correct; Heaven's Dao is fair and would not actively change the fate of beings in the Burial Realm..."
Tuoba San looked at Luosha and said these words, which surprised Luosha. Then she nodded and said...
"That's true. Heaven didn't target you, but everyone else. At the crucial moment, it stripped all living beings of their innate spiritual senses, so that no one could foresee their danger in advance..."
Rakshasa's explanation cleared up Ling Feng's doubts, causing him to sigh involuntarily, still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Why would it do that?
Rakshasa curled her lip and said...
"Don't you understand yet? Your existence not only blocked the path of advancement for cultivators in the Burial Realm, but also threatened the safety of the Heavenly Dao. Do you still think you died unjustly?"
These words made Ling Feng open his mouth, wanting to refute, but he didn't know how to begin...
The key to the Heavenly Path in her hand is the source of all danger. As long as the key remains in his possession, he will have to endure pressure from all sides…
"Back then, Daoist Xiang, in league with the Murong family, first poisoned Ling Feng. Then, the Heavenly Dao shielded innate spiritual senses, making it impossible for anyone to detect the approaching danger. Ling Feng, without anyone noticing, ingested a poison that suppressed his power, which gave us the opportunity to ambush and kill him..."
Hearing Rakshasa's explanation, Ling Feng finally understood what had happened back then. He remembered what happened afterward; he fought desperately, but was still no match for her. He didn't even know who his enemy was before his physical body was shattered and his soul was severely damaged. In the end, he was absorbed by the key to the Heavenly Path and escaped the battlefield with it...
"I think the rest is simple. You joined forces with the Void God Realm to kill Senior Ling Feng, but you still didn't get the key to the Heavenly Path..."
The two parties, who already lacked any trust, both assumed the other had kept the key for themselves since they didn't receive it, leading to another fight…
Following Rakshasa's words, I continued my analysis...
"That's right, things did indeed turn out exactly as Tuoba San said. Neither side got the key, which led to the conflict. Everyone had lost their minds at the time, believing the other side had it, and it was a fight to the death..."
"Then why were you sealed here by the Heavenly Dao?"
Ling Feng asked, puzzled…
"The battle back then was too fierce, causing great damage to the Burial Realm. The deaths of all living beings far exceeded the limits that Heaven could bear..."
However, this also united our Burial Realm like never before. It was at this time that the Heavenly Divine Court was established. With the rule of the Heavenly Divine Court, coupled with the four innate treasures, the Void God Realm was ultimately defeated…”
Tuoba San thought of the Creation Heavenly Lyre he possessed; it was indeed an extraordinary treasure…
"This did indeed repel the Void God Realm, but it also completely offended them..."
Tuoba San sighed and said…
"So in the end, we used the four innate treasures to seal all the passages to the Void God Realm, which brought unprecedented peace to the Burial Realm. This period was also the time when the Burial Realm's resources were developed most vigorously. However, this short-sighted approach weakened the Heavenly Dao. In order to stop all this, the Heavenly Dao sealed me in the Forbidden Land of the Heavenly Gods..."
This place is called the Forbidden Land of the Gods not because there are gods here, but because the gods sealed this place away...
After I was sealed away, the Heavenly Court became a mere shell of its former self, and many people were even unwilling to mention its existence…”
Listening to Rakshasa's story, Ling Feng and I both fell silent. How much truth was in her words was something we had to judge for ourselves…
The fact that the Heavenly Court can influence secular forces proves that its influence still exists, only it has shifted from overt to covert...
An enemy that's out in the open isn't scary; what's scary is a hidden enemy, because you can't be sure who's human and who's a monster...
"I've said enough. Can you let me leave now?"
Luocha looked at Tuoba San calmly and asked, which made Tuoba San roll his eyes at her, thinking to himself, "What are you thinking? If I let you leave, the first thing you'll do is kill him..."
