Chapter 1259 – Zero And One
Everyone looked at the cocoon formed by the Great Dao. Although a path had been opened up by Celestial Venerable Mu and the Heart Devil, it was still filled with a dangerous aura.
With so many Inner Demons and Celestial Venerable Mus not attacking the deepest part of the Great Dao cocoon, their journey would probably be extremely dangerous.
Everyone composed themselves, and Heaven Sovereign Xi suddenly laughed loudly. “Wen Ji… Wen Tiange is a loyal and righteous man, loyal to the celestial heavens, and a loyal subject! In that case, Brother Wen can lead the way into this cocoon. What do you think, Brother Wen?”
Woodcutter said indifferently, “In that case, I shall lead the way for everyone!”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though Woodcutter’s cultivation realm wasn’t high, his wisdom was extraordinary. Only he could solve the hidden killing intent in Celestial Venerable Hao’s Great Dao cocoon.
Woodcutter took a step forward and walked into the hole where the Great Dao cocoon was. He examined the Dao markings on the cocoon in detail. These silk-like objects were formed from the Great Dao that Celestial Venerable Hao had spilled out when he was unconscious.
‘These Dao pattern threads should be because Celestial Venerable Hao’s injuries were too severe. His corporeal body couldn’t contain the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so it formed a burden on his body. That’s why it was discharged from his body.’
Woodcutter muttered, “From the detailed structure of these Great Dao markings, the Dao markings are formed from his celestial palace. Different celestial palaces form different Dao cocoons. This is the first layer of the Dao cocoon.”
Everyone followed him and listened in a daze.
The Dao Stripe transformed into the shape of a cocoon. Previously, quite a number of Celestial Venerable Mental Demon had died here. They walked past these corpses, and in order to break the Dao cocoon, Celestial Venerable Mental Demon had suffered heavy casualties.
What was strange was that these Mental Demon Celestial Venerable Mu also formed cocoons and hung upside down on the passage.
Everyone avoided these corpses, and some of the heart devils were still alive. They were pierced through by the Dao in the cocoons and stared at them.
“Hehe, Celestial Venerable Mu’s appearance…” Lü Zheng laughed.
They didn’t walk far when they saw the second Dao cocoon.
Saint Woodcutter continued to examine it in detail. The Dao cocoon was forcefully sliced open by the heart devils, creating a passageway that went straight into the depths of the Dao cocoon.
“According to Celestial Venerable Hao’s cultivation realm, his Dao cocoon should be divided into 35 layers. However, Celestial Venerable Hao is the son of Celestial Emperor and Mistress Yuanmu. He is proficient in Celestial Emperor’s Connate Qi and Mistress Yuanmu’s Ruins of End Great Dao.”
He looked at Celestial Venerable Mental Demon and Celestial Venerable Mu, who were wrapped up in cocoons and hanging upside down in the tunnel. With a grave expression, he said in a low voice, “The First Qi of Connate is one, then the Great Dao of the Ruins of End is zero. One, zero, zero, one… There must be some kind of trick behind this…”
“Smelly Chicken Thief, can you do it?”
Xi Tianjun couldn’t help but shout, “If we don’t move forward, if Celestial Venerable Hao recovers…”
He stopped talking.
Red Deity Qi Xiayu’s gaze flickered, and multicolored light overflowed from her body. She was like a nine-colored phoenix that dispersed the multicolored light. She had already changed her clothes and face.
She had a crown on her head and wore a short-sleeved shirt and a black skirt. All kinds of jewelry hung on her body, making her look like a village girl from the Primordial Realm’s West Earth. Her original appearance couldn’t be seen at all.
Heaven Monarch Xi was astonished and changed his appearance. He was the Heavenly King of the celestial heavens after all. If he didn’t kill Celestial Venerable Hao, he would definitely be killed by Celestial Venerable Hao!
Saint Woodcutter was still examining Celestial Venerable Heart Devil who was hanging on the tunnel. He suddenly took out his huge ax and tried to cut off a cocoon that was wrapped around the heart demon. However, this cocoon was extremely tough, and he couldn’t cut it open even after trying his best.
“Let me do it!”
Yan Yunxi suppressed her injuries and went forward. With a swing of her sword, she cut down the cocoon.
The fine threads in the cocoons actually waved like tentacles and pounced towards her!
Yan Yunxi was shocked. Sword light flashed, and she heard a series of clinking sounds. The incomparably tough threads actually collided with her treasure sword, creating sparks!
Yan Yunxi broke these fine threads and frowned slightly.
Bai Yujing had hurt her too badly. This time, her injuries were affected, and she felt the pain relapse. However, what was strange was that when her sword collided with the fine threads, she could faintly feel that some of her vital qi seemed to have been lost by them.
“Zi Xi, do you feel some of your vital qi being lost?” Woodcutter asked.
Yan Yunxi nodded and said, “These fine threads are weird.”
Saint Woodcutter said, “Divide this Mental Demon Celestial Venerable Mu and see if his body is also filled with fine threads? I have a bad guess and need to verify it.”
“Damned old man! Smelly old man!”
Celestial Venerable Mu, who was still alive, shouted angrily, “Wait for me to come out and eat you!”
Yan Yunxi swung her sword and sliced open Celestial Venerable Mu’s stomach. What flowed out wasn’t his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, but countless fine threads!
Those fine threads were like incomparably fine snakes as they threw themselves at Yan Yunxi.
Yan Yunxi severed the threads and frowned even more.
The others also frowned, and Niu Sanduo muttered, “These guys have fine threads in their bodies, what does this mean?”
“As expected.”
Saint Woodcutter said, “This is the effect of zero and one. Celestial Venerable Hao’s Great Dao of the Ruins of End is zero, and the Great Dao of the Ruins of End devours all things, causing the Great Dao to cease to exist. It devours the energy in Celestial Venerable Mu’s body! The First Qi of Connate is one, and it transforms from zero to one, transforming the energy of Celestial Venerable Mu! Celestial Venerable Hao is indeed unconscious, but he fainted on purpose!”
Everyone was shocked.
Saint Woodcutter continued, “He purposely brought a piece of crumbling void into the land of the Great Void and transformed it into the Great Void Demon Territory! He planned to make use of the strangeness of the Great Void Demon Territory to let his heart devils borrow the strangeness of the Great Void Demon Territory to become reality and swallow the energy of the heart devils, allowing himself to recover as soon as possible! He was borrowing the process of going from zero to one to heal his Dao injuries. He only needed to devour and refine these Dao cocoons after swallowing Celestial Venerable Mental Demon. He would then recover to his peak state and even be stronger than before!”
Everyone’s expression changed drastically as they looked at the deep passage with some hesitation.
Suddenly, Xi Tianjun laughed loudly and said loudly, “Good, you rebels, you actually tried to murder Celestial Venerable Hao! I, Xi Muhong, am incomparably loyal and have specially come to protect you!”
He was righteous, and people looked up to him and admired him.
Saint Woodcutter took a glance at him and said indifferently, “Celestial Venerable Hao is still unconscious, so he won’t be able to hear you. If he was awake, there wouldn’t be so many devils of the heart, Celestial Venerable Mu, coming to die, and he wouldn’t let us come here. He can control the thirty-five cocoons of the Heavenly Dao to attack us.”
Red Deity Qi Xiayu nodded and said, “Now, these Dao cocoons will only retaliate when they are attacked. This means that Celestial Venerable Hao is still sleeping.”
Heaven Sovereign’s expression didn’t change. “Dao brothers are right. What should we do now?”
The thickness of his skin was astonishing.
Saint Woodcutter said, “Whether we are friend or foe depends on the possibility of killing Celestial Venerable Hao. In that case, why don’t I walk to the center of the Dao cocoon to take a look?”
He took a step forward, and Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher Zhu Cha immediately came to his side. He said in a low voice, “I’m here to protect you. Woodcutter, how much strength do you think Celestial Venerable Hao has recovered?”
Saint Woodcutter said in a low voice, “Let alone recovering a little, even if we had half a power, we would still die if we attacked together. The only benefit now is that Celestial Venerable Hao is in a coma, and he’s in a coma. That means there’s a possibility of killing him! Have you finished refining your Celestial River Divine Treasure?”
Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher nodded and said with a smile, “No more weaknesses.”
Saint Woodcutter said solemnly, “You are the strongest among us, so be on guard against Heavenly Lord Xi and Red Deity. It’s hard to guarantee that Celestial Venerable Hao isn’t among them.”
Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher Guan Cha was astonished.
Everyone passed through layers of Dao cocoons, and suddenly, there was a vast space in front of them. Dense rays of light rose and fell in this vast space like waves.
Everyone looked over and saw threads gathering from all directions inside the Dao cocoon, gathering on Celestial Venerable Hao in the center!
