I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

However, crossing over the Shengshen Continent from the Cold Palace Emperor Realm via the Stairway to Heaven should not take much time for a Holy Emperor.

The voice of doubt from the Cold Palace Holy Emperor came much later.

This caused everyone in the five regions, who thought everything was over, to become anxious and apprehensive once again.

"The war is not over..."

"The Holy Emperor still arrived, just a bit late. Is he injured?"

Feng Zhongzui found it hard to understand.

Was it a strike from Lord Shou that severely injured the Cold Palace Holy Emperor?

Or was it the power of Hallmaster Dao that could shield the Holy Emperor's Perception for such a long time?

Neither is correct!

It shouldn't be such a superficial understanding!

Even the most foolish people of the five regions knew it shouldn't be for these reasons; perhaps the Cold Palace Holy Emperor was delayed by some other matter.

Xu Xiaoshou was also puzzled.

He was cautious and indirect in dealing with Dao Qiongcang, but straightforward with Ah Si, who was still muddle-headed in the Apricot Realm, controlling and asking directly:

"What is the Cold Palace Holy Emperor's true body doing now?"

"In seclusion..."

"Why in seclusion?"

"To seal Godhood... claiming the ancestor..."

Little chap!

Compared to the idle Feng Yujin, who would give away Rao Wangze at a meeting, my dear Gong Han is indeed ambitious!

Has he grasped the Ancestral God Fate Chart, or is he going to seal the title of the eleventh ancestor through other means?

With such thoughts, after listening to Ah Si's words, Xu Xiaoshou felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

To say others have this ambition would also be wishful thinking.

With Cold Palace Holy Emperor's mastery of various methods and the luck of the world, his probability of success might not be low!

Or rather...

If at his level he can't succeed,

then the other families he's suppressed for so long... oh, the three Great Sacred Emperor Families would have little hope.

Truly, only the Ten High Nobles, these extraordinary talents, could achieve miracles?

In this light, compared to such a grand event as Godhood-Sealing and claiming an ancestor, the waves he stirred in the five regions indeed seemed small.

He could pay attention perhaps because Dao Qiongcang helped him shield the Way of the Heavens' energy movement over the five regions entirely, creating an "anomaly."

This damned petty and flamboyant Elder Dao, truly had hidden intentions!

"Holy Emperor person."

The Cold Palace Holy Emperor cast his attention once again, but this time he neither formed a human face nor launched an attack.

He spoke with an extremely ethereal tone, making it hard to grasp his meaning.

Feng Zhongzui was surprised: "Lord Shou shattered his Hand of Holy Ancestor, and yet the Cold Palace Holy Emperor seems not to be angry?"

That's not all!

The people of the five regions saw the true height and grandeur a Holy Emperor should possess.

Lord Shou's previous actions were extremely arrogant!

What my dear Gong Han, what Avatar of the Holy Ancestor beating the Hand of Holy Ancestor, and Hallmaster Dao aiding in his tyranny...

The Cold Palace Holy Emperor doesn't care about any of this?

Such is a Holy Emperor!

However, Xu Xiaoshou read the ghostly intentions of my dear Gong Han clearly, realizing he wasn't broad-minded at all, but exceedingly petty.

You lost even after one punch.

Yet, you dare to ask me for Holy Emperor person?

So you do not care about the events on Shengshen Continent, and even the anomaly triggered by the Divine Seal of the five regions isn't your focus.

You originally planned to come to Shengshen Continent, and this time you want to solve all issues at once as a matter of convenience?

Others might not understand, but Xu Xiaoshou was clear; he knew the Cold Palace Holy Emperor was after Rao Wangze's Holy Emperor person.

But I don't have it either; if you have the ability, go ask Cursed Yin; he swallowed it all!

He glanced once more at Bazhun'an.

Bazhun'an sat steady and unshaken.

Thinking "I'm here," Xu Xiaoshou straightened his back, raised his voice in anger, and shouted: "Calling you my dear Gong Han, did you truly think you're anything..."

"Xu Xiaoshou!"

The Spirit Rhinoceros Technique carried Dao Qiongcang's alarmed voice.

Don't further provoke him, my dear Xu. Aren't I the one who ends up having to clean up your mess?

If you push him any further and he indeed breaks out, I can't handle it!

The Spirit Rhinoceros Technique conveyed all information without further reservation:

"Using the Divine Seal as a lead to trigger anomalies in the five regions could immediately draw the Great Holy Emperor Family's attention, largely attracting the Cold Palace Holy Emperor, for he is the head of those families."

"Once the Cold Palace Holy Emperor pays attention, the other families will no longer care, this is a set rule."

"But since the Cold Palace Holy Emperor is in seclusion, he cannot make a big fuss over trivia."

"So, if he visits just to be sent away, regardless of further massive battles on Shengshen Continent, as long as it doesn't intentionally disturb above the Stairway to Heaven, no one will come in the short term."

"Or rather, even if they come, they will be people whom I can confidently provoke."

Xu Xiaoshou froze in awe.

Dao Qiongcang truly was helping the Saint Servant—was he paving a road?

No, he could only be aiding himself; anyone who thought Dao Qiongcang was a good person must either be a fool or guided into becoming one.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Technique continued explaining plainly:

"Hadn't you asked Ah Si, I would have done the same, just pushed the timing back a bit."

"And since you did ask, I thought I'd lend you a hand, settling the Cold Palace Holy Emperor's mind once and for all, and deal with the rest subsequently."

This left Xu Xiaoshou bewildered, countering:

"How is this a once-and-for-all method?"

"We still have to forfeit a Holy Emperor person... I don't have it! I only have the Ancestral God Fate Chart!"

"Suppose we give it to him to aid him in Godhood-Sealing and claiming an ancestor; maybe he just lacks this step from us—perhaps coming to Shengshen Continent is destined by Heavenly Destiny!"

Dao Qiongcang offered no further response.

In his worldview, not everything must be resolved with confrontation; many things have roundabout solutions.

Feed him, make him sleep, fatten him up, then he can be killed.

Through Spirit Rhinoceros Technique communication, he softly said:

"Stall a bit, I have a solution."

...

Southern Underworld.

The greatest sea beast, Kun, was in a deep sleep.

It did not realize that a little human had concealed his Aura and ventured this deep, into the cold underwater depths.

Standing atop it made no significant difference, nor did it trigger any anomaly.

"Elder Yu, stop sleeping, it's time to wake up and cultivate."
