Once, Li Zhiyuan also intended to follow the rules they set, after all, the enemy was strong and he was weak.

At first, the young man indeed regarded the three incense sticks as a test full of trials and tribulations, wholeheartedly countering moves with moves. But when the second and third arrivals came down, forcing his side to fight at the cost of total destruction, the nature of the matter changed.

There's no reason to let you break the rules again and again while I must endure it quietly.

Isn't it all about playing with rules? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The "Walking River Behavior Regulations" is the product of the young man's strategic maneuvering against the Heavenly Dao since he started his journey on the river.

Some things cannot be understood more deeply or mastered more thoroughly just because one lives longer; if that were the case, the Jiang Shui would not have targeted the young man so early.

Having decided on revenge, this retribution must be demonstrated.

As Zhao Yi thought, Li Zhiyuan also wanted to see rivers of blood. Those household registration books turned blank do not reflect the boy's obsession but a cold habit.

It was Li Zhiyuan who asked Yin Meng to prepare a ritual, with the sacrifice being the Tomb Master, but Li Zhiyuan did not believe the Great Emperor would really descend to do anything.

If he really wanted to act, the Great Emperor wouldn't wait until now.

His journey to Fengdu was all initiated by the Great Emperor himself. How could the Great Emperor be unaware of the actions of these subordinates?

He knew but did not stop them, nor did he intervene, so even if the Great Emperor was successfully provoked, the direct purpose he wanted could not be achieved.

But an indirect purpose could be reached.

Earlier, in the consciousness of the Tomb Master, Li Zhiyuan taught him a skill.

Thanks to the state at the time, with the Tomb Master under the control of Li Zhiyuan's Black Book Secret Technique, Li Zhiyuan could easily impose his will on him, and the teaching efficiency was extremely high. Coupled with the Tomb Master's extremely high talent and rich experience of being possessed by Yin Cha repeatedly in the past, he learned quickly.

Even so, it is impossible to learn and fully comprehend an entire set of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra in such a short time.

The Tomb Master learned the second chapter of the first volume of the sutra.

Most of this type of legacy scripture has the first chapter of the first volume as an introduction to the worldview of the deities, which can be skipped. The second chapter, however, is about invocation and prayer to the deities.

In reality, in most temples, worshippers face the statue, kowtow, and then pray, which is actually a broad extension of this second chapter.

Using this skill to sense the deities is very difficult. For example, a young Lin Shuyou could sense the Yin God early, earning him the reputation of a genius in the Official General Lineage.

Without discussing the Tomb Master's talent in life, merely considering the present, with three such beings existing within his body, performing the invocation of the second chapter, to some extent, equates to borrowing the names of those three to send a message to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

If the Bodhisattva is not omniscient and omnipotent with insight into fate...then upon sensing such a prayer, the Bodhisattva would surely be astonished.

Up to this point, Li Zhiyuan still didn't feel assured, after all, those three had the ability to shield the gaze of the Heavenly Dao for a short time, so they must have the power to shield such existence as well.

Therefore, Li Zhiyuan had Yin Meng perform the ritual. If the Great Emperor descended directly to punish, everyone would be happy, and this matter could end here, and Li Zhiyuan would accept this result. Otherwise, it would be like inviting the Great Emperor to appear to provide vinegar for the upcoming dumplings.

In the past, when the Great Emperor was wrathful and issued an edict, that hidden family was annihilated, and the top forces in Jianghu all perceived this event. Grandma Liu even knew the aftermath of the event earlier than Li Zhiyuan himself.

In the True Monarch Temple, Li Zhiyuan had sensed the gaze of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. At that time, the young man knew that the Bodhisattva could see through the shadow of the Great Emperor, representing legacy, standing behind him with just a glance.

Such powerful beings instinctively care about each other's actions, especially the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Emperor Fengdu, who are not only divided by teaching but also compete for discourse power in the underworld.

When the Great Emperor's gaze haughtily glanced down from above, Li Zhiyuan couldn't believe that the Bodhisattva's gaze wouldn't also glance here.

When He looked here, the so-called concealment was meaningless.

With double protection, Li Zhiyuan's goal was achieved.

Looking at the Tomb Master with such a solemn Dharma Image, one would think he had been a high monk in his past life.

This was all deliberately "bestowed" by the Bodhisattva.

When the Buddha's Light manifested, it meant that the Bodhisattva had decided to enter the game, using the Tomb Master as a pawn and the rule-breaking three incense sticks as the battlefield!

At this moment, Zhao Yi felt both shocked and rueful. He initially thought that Li didn't understand family disputes, but in reality, he understood too well.

Internal conflicts within a power, no matter how big, have the potential to be self-reconciled and digested, but once pierced, the nature completely changes.

Above, golden light brewed like a layer of untimely sunrise.

It came, but it was prowling, waiting, searching.

Zhao Yi immediately sensed an opportunity.

This wave could be described as a small theater drawing in a big player. The big player rarely reveals the true self, requiring a little servant to run errands front and back.

Zhao Yi felt he could take on this duty.

If the Bodhisattva needed a knife, he, Zhao Yi, could shave his head then and there, renounce the worldly life, and enter the path of emptiness.
