Chapter 725: Not Allowed to Die (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before that, the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord actually didn’t have such plans. The reason for this decision was mainly because of the Dao Ancestor’s evaluation of Xiao Shi and his actions in the end.

Although he did not know the reason why the Dao Ancestor left Xiao Shi behind in the end, as the person who had reset the most times here, he knew that the Dao Ancestor’s actions must have an unusual meaning.

This made him decide to increase his “investment” in Xiao Shi and release more goodwill. Usually, the more good karma planted on such a person with greater potential, the greater the return he would receive.

Originally, after Xiao Shi chose the identity of the Slaughter Dao, He no longer thought highly of Xiao Shi. However, after the Dao Ancestor’s evaluation and final actions, it made him change his mind. He felt that Xiao Shi might have a chance of controlling the Slaughter Dao.

In any case, he would not lose anything in such an investment. This was his Dao to begin with!

Xiao Shi naturally would not reject the kindness of the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord. He was very happy to see the other party help. This kind of help without paying any price made him feel the joy of freeloading. Most importantly, it could save him a lot of time.

Although there were still 300 years before the next reset, and it seemed to be a long time, Xiao Shi did not only want to control one Dao now, but he also wanted to control three different types of Dao. The pressure was much greater than before. It would take more time. Naturally, he had to save as much time as he could.

The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord began to tell Xiao Shi about the situation in the Beginner Martial Era, as well as the experts of the factions.

Compared to the Tianwu Continent, the biggest difference in the Beginner Martial Era was that the forces here were under absolute rule. Although there were five upper countries and twelve lower countries here, these 17 countries belonged to the Wu Dynasty.

Among them, the leaders of the five Upper Nations were five demigods. The rulers of the twelve kingdoms were the twelve Daolords.

!!..

The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord understood that Xiao Shi’s Slaughter Dao was mainly to kill Sages. Therefore, he specifically told Xiao Shi the information about the Sages in the seventeen countries.

“Whether it’s the five Upper Nations or the twelve Lower Nations, there are Sages. But once you attack these Sages, the Daolords and demigods in their country will immediately sense it. Although there is a certain level of competition between these countries, it is all benign competition.

“When facing a powerful enemy, they will definitely choose to unite against a common enemy. Most importantly, these experts will protect each other. Even if you have the strength to kill the Daolord of a lower country, the demigods of the upper country won’t sit back and do nothing.

“And if you were to kill a demigod, then the strongest martial artist in the Wu Dynasty, who is in the ninth realm, will definitely kill you.”

When Xiao Shi heard this, he frowned deeply. He clearly realized that these Upper Three Realms powerhouses in the Beginner Martial Era were generally very united.

Daolord protected the Sage.

A demigod protected the Daolord.

A ninth-stage martial arts expert protected a demigod.

Under this layer of protection, he could not find a breakthrough at all. Most importantly, this era was not an era where heroes were divided and did things their own way. Under such absolute rule, even the competition between them was benign. Even if he wanted to start a war in the dark, it would be difficult to achieve.

This was very troublesome.

“Don’t these Sages or Daolords have any grudges against each other?” Xiao Shi asked with a frown.

The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord understood what Xiao Shi meant. He shook his head. “The Beginner Martial Era is different from other eras. Existences above the Sage realm will already receive the greatest protection and are not allowed to die.

“This is a rule set by the strongest martial artist in the ninth realm of the Wu Dynasty! He won’t care how anyone below the Sage Realm dies. However, those above the Sage Realm are completely forbidden from dying!

“If it’s two Sages or Daolords who have a deep hatred for each other, they must resolve their grudges. They can apply to the experts above for a family battle.

“Although death is not allowed in such a battle, the losing party has to hand over all their assets to the winning party. This is also the main way for the experts of this era to resolve major grudges.”

The more Xiao Shi listened, the more puzzled he became. “Why is that?” He felt that this rule was really strange. Existences above the Sage Realm would involve the fate of an empire. With every death, the dynasty’s fate would decrease to a certain extent.

However, even in the Great Wu Empire at its peak, there was no such rule. After all, in the world of martial artists, life and death battles were the norm. Even martial artists in the Upper Three Realms had to experience life and death battles.

How could a martial artist without a life and death battle be considered a martial artist?

While Xiao Shi found the rule that did not allow anyone above the Sage realm to die strange, he also felt that it did not make sense. This had already severely damaged the normal ecology of a martial artist world.

The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord shook his head. “1 don’t know the exact reason, but according to my many resets, this… seems to involve a deep secret of the Beginner Martial Era. However, the level of this secret is too high, and it’s difficult for me to come into contact with it.

“I only know that this secret concerns that ninth-stage martial arts expert. That’s why he made such a rule. This is also the most difficult part of the Slaughter Dao. Basically, it’s impossible for people who choose the identity of the Slaughter Dao to control this Dao. It’s really very difficult to kill Sages in the Beginner Martial Era. Even if you’re lucky enough to kill one or two Sages, your gains are very small. It’s difficult to use this method to control the Dao.”

Xiao Shi was enlightened. No wonder the others had such expressions when he chose this identity previously. Clearly, in the eyes of others, this identity was impossible to master the Dao.

“Apart from the Sages of the 17 countries, there are actually some itinerant Sages outside the 17 countries. These itinerant Sages did not receive such protection because they do not belong to the Wu Dynasty.

“However, there are very few of these itinerant Sages. Perhaps there are less than ten of them in total. Even if you kill all of them, your gains will not be much. Moreover, their whereabouts are unpredictable and extremely difficult to find.

“I don’t recommend you kill these itinerant Sages. Firstly, it’s too difficult to find them. Secondly, these itinerant Sages are usually our disguised targets. When we enter the Wu Dynasty, we usually disguise ourselves as these itinerant Sages. If we kill all of them, we won’t have any disguised targets.”

Xiao Shi nodded. He knew that in the Beginner Martial Era, although they had the identity of the Dao Ancestor’s disciples, the Dao Ancestor was a hermit mighty figure in the Beginner Martial Era. Very few people knew of the existence of the Dao Ancestor.

The disciples of the Dao Ancestor were the same. They did not belong to the Wu Dynasty. Therefore, to enter the Wu Dynasty, one could only enter as an itinerant cultivator.

After the other party’s explanation, Xiao Shi also had a sufficient understanding of the situation in the entire Beginner Martial Era. From the situation in the Beginner Martial Era, there was only one way to kill the Sages here. That was to let his avatar kill it.

He understood that even though Daolord would sense it immediately once the Sages fought, the Daolord wouldn’t stop them immediately. As long as it did not involve life and death, the Daolord usually wouldn’t interfere in the battles between these Sages.

Moreover, it was not an easy task to begin if Sages wanted to fight to the death. Most Sages could only determine the victor at most. However, it was very difficult to determine life and death.

The Daolords would only attack when the two sides were fighting and one of the Sages was facing a life and death crisis.

This way, Xiao Shi could let his avatar challenge a Sage first and deliberately pretend to be on par with him. The moment the Daolord who was paying attention to this scene let down his guard, he directly erupted with his true strength and killed the Sage in one go.

He believed that as long as his avatar was fast enough, even the Daolord who was paying attention to this scene would not be able to stop it in time..
