The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1223 - 248: Aftermath and Lottery

Despite being injured, the words of the Dao Ancestor, who had just suppressed the power of the Heavenly Dao Embodiment, made Qing Yu and the Tathagata stay their hands.

As he said, if Qing Yu and the Tathagata continued to fight, it was uncertain how long it would drag on.

Even if injured, a Tao Realm is still a Tao Realm. When they fight, it can last for ages, and no one knows when it will end.

Moreover······

'There's also the existence of the Dao Ancestor.' Qing Yu mused to himself.

He didn't think of the Dao Ancestor as a peacemaker; if he were really so, he would have intervened when the Tathagata attacked Qing Yu earlier.

The reason he called for a stop now was no more than he thought wasting time like this was pointless.

Qing Yu and the Tathagata were in conflict, yet the observing Dao Ancestor was also within their focus. If the Dao Ancestor wanted to leave, neither of them would hesitate to temporarily stop and block him.

This situation could indeed be likened to being trapped on the other side of the Limit of Human and God, with Qing Yu as the fellow prisoner.

"Amitabha," said the Tathagata, "Lord Qingyu indeed has the qualifications to stand among us. Let's halt this battle for now."

Originally intending to attack Qing Yu and seize his foundation, Qing Yu's strength already proved to be a tough bone to crack; continuing would indeed be a waste of time.

"I do wish to continue fighting because I feel the two of you seem to have some kind of conspiracy waiting for me." Qing Yu glanced at the two and smiled.

These two appeared somewhat odd, and his own heightened spiritual sense made him feel something was amiss.

'Perhaps, their scheme has already succeeded.'

While thinking this, Qing Yu shifted the topic and said, "However, since the Dao Ancestor has spoken, it would be impolite not to give him face. Let's end this here."

Saying this, Qing Yu retreated into the darkness of the rift, disappearing in an instant.

"It seems this person has already noticed something amiss." The Tathagata said.

The Dao Ancestor waved his hand, breaking the space, and said, "I never thought I could keep it hidden from him."

He stepped into the chasm he had opened; on the other side was a city as white as jade.

After the Dao Ancestor left, the Tathagata also did not linger, using Buddha Light to flee into the world.

Thus, a great battle drew to a close, and the dark spatial rift finally welcomed a long-lasting peace.

························

After leaving the spatial rift, Qing Yu surveyed his gains, "With all Six Demon Qi gathered, a Demon Path exclusive draw, a super draw. Breaking the Limit of Human and God, another super draw.

Destroying the Heavenly Dao Embodiment with the Tathagata and the Dao Ancestor, yet another super draw. The gains far exceed expectations."

Each of these items was a matter affecting the whole world, making it hard not to reap bountiful rewards.

If he wished to have such abundant harvests next time, it seemed only by vanquishing the Tathagata and the Dao Ancestor.

"Let's start with the Demon Path exclusive draw." Qing Yu said.

"Demon Path exclusive draw, in progress······" the mechanical voice of the system rang out.

"Ding, as the host has advanced to six stars, Five-star items are removed from the draw range, the Demon Path exclusive draw is limited to character cards."

"Ding, congratulations host, on obtaining the Five-star half character card·Yanmo Hanba."

Name: Yanmo Hanba

Realm: Supreme

Item: Yanmo Desolate God Slash

Martial Arts: "Desolate God Drought Demon Technique", "Evil God Sky Gang", "Yama Slash"

Evaluation: Killing a warrior is more thrilling than killing a king!

After advancing to Six-star, which means the Tao Realm, Five-star items were removed by the system, and the random character card draw was changed to once every ten years.

It was estimated that by the next character card draw, the battle might already be over.

"Yanmo Hanba, is it," Qing Yu mused, "a decent character card, though for now, it's of no use to me. Yet, it could have other purposes."

Upon advancing to the Tao Realm, Qing Yu finally touched the system's existence, his authority within it greatly increased. Some things impossible in the past were now no longer difficult.

"Continue, begin the super draw." Qing Yu commanded.

"Super draw, in progress······"

"Ding, congratulations host, on obtaining the Six-star item· 'Origin and End.'"

"The name sounds interesting." Qing Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Six-star item· 'Now Tathagata Sutra.'"

"Seems familiar." Qing Yu raised another eyebrow.

"Six-star item· 'Heavenly Sword Forbidden Technique.'"

"Seems like a bit of a trap." Qing Yu couldn't raise his eyebrow any higher.

As the mechanical voice of the system subsided, the content of these three secret manuals was all implanted into Qing Yu's mind.

The name 'Origin and End' is essentially a simplification; in truth, it should be "Left Hand Origin·Creation of Nothingness·Right Hand End·Granting Destruction," a favored martial art of some rather embarrassing villain.

'Now Tathagata Sutra,' a Divine Skill in the Human Immortal Martial Arts system, infamous for dominating the current era with peerless martial prowess. This martial art could indeed allow Qing Yu to advance further in his Tao body.

As for the final 'Heavenly Sword Forbidden Technique'······

The full name should be 'Heavenly Sword Forbidden Move· Borrowing Sword from Heaven,' the main function is to borrow power from the Heavenly Dao, aligning personal power with the heavens, and achieving invincibility in both righteousness and evil.

However, considering Qing Yu's relationship with the Heavenly Dao, even acknowledging the Heavenly Dao as his father wouldn't make 'Borrowing Sword from Heaven' any more potent—it's a wasted move.

"Not the best luck." Qing Yu gently shook his head, soaring into the distance.

According to his senses, this grand battle stretched for nearly eight months, with the world's upheaval constantly changing. Fortunately, Qing Yu had previously eradicated most opponents, so no matter how the situation shifted, the foundational game was unlikely to change.

With the Northern Zhou's warriors joining forces, the situation in Northern Zhou remained stable, even with the disappearance of the Emperor Zhou for nearly eight months, the stability was unbroken.

However, the world was still not unified under Northern Zhou.

The reason being······

Qing Yu's Divine Thought swept the heavens and the earth, capturing anomalies in both the East Province and Ji Province.

The Daoist energy permeated the sky, and the Buddha Light covered the land, those were sacred places left with deep historical imprints.

Taoist school, White Jade City.

Buddhist school, Pure Land.

Realms belonging to the Dao Ancestor and the Tathagata have now manifested in the world. The time has been nearly eight months.

"I wondered what plan the two of them had, it turns out they were waiting for me here." Qing Yu murmured coldly to himself.

Almost immediately after they entered the spatial rift, White Jade City and the Pure Land had appeared. The once-destroyed Buddhist school began to revive, and within the Taoist school, another voice emerged.

"Exerting effort to allow the Daoist Orthodoxy to continue, it seems the so-called Daoist Orthodoxy holds some secrets I'm unaware of." Qing Yu thought to himself.

Though his strength had growth tendencies toward surpassing predecessors, Qing Yu's knowledge was far from comparable to those two. There were still many secrets of the Tao Realm he had yet to explore.
