Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal Chapter 1519 - 596: Heaven and Earth Are Heartless! Dao of the Saint!

The scenes before him made Wang Teng feel a bit lost.

Why do the humans of this world intentionally seal the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, preventing people from cultivating?

Compared to the previous great worlds, Earth Tier powerhouses are common, and Celestial Level powerhouses are not few.

Tribal warfare, warlords in strife, flying and fleeing are also common.

On the contrary, in this well-governed world, not even a Profound Tier powerhouse is seen among humans.

It’s as if this world has never had humans who could fly or escape the earth.

Yet hidden in the famous mountains and rivers away from the mundane world, there’s a group of guardians of the Dragon-locking Pillar, who are also cultivators.

Who exactly is behind all of this?

A flash of insight crossed Wang Teng’s mind; the development of this world somewhat resembles the history of Hua Country.

In mythology, it was common for Hua Country’s ancestors to fly and escape the earth.

But later, cultivators disappeared overnight.

The Hua Country ancestors gradually settled down.

Only occasionally would there be rumors of immortals and supernatural events among the people.

Is it possible that someone intentionally sealed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, preventing the ancestors from cultivating as well?

Wang Teng couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

Oh right!

Suddenly, his heart was stirred, recalling the Tao Te Ching left by Hua Country’s ancestors.

The Tao Te Ching mentioned the governance of a saint, often making the people ignorant and without desires, so the wise dare not act, by non-action, there is nothing that is not governed.

Boom~!

Recalling these, Wang Teng was shaken to the core, deeply moved.

Such governance methods are exactly the governance of a saint!

In Wang Teng’s eyes, such methods almost treat the populace like animals in captivity, reducing their desires and disputes.

Regardless of right or wrong, such methods are extremely effective.

The heavens and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs.

The saints are unkind, treating the people as straw dogs!

This current governance is precisely the means of a saint!

Wang Teng’s eyes lit up, and a sudden understanding dawned in his heart.

The next second, he closed his eyes and entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

A faint spiritual light emerged on Wang Teng’s body, growing brighter and brighter.

Then, a dazzling azure light appeared at the center of his forehead, and the Cosmic Seal emerged.

The next second, the forty-first petal began to form.

It turns out that this time Wang Teng was awakening the Dao of Innate—the Dao of the Saint.

His breakthrough of the ninth pass was imminent...

At the same time, within the Great Hall of the Purple Cloud Palace,

people were constantly talking.

The previous challenges conquered by Wang Teng were too shocking, making it hard for them to remain calm and filled them with jealousy.

At this moment, many were worried whether Wang Teng could pass the ninth challenge.

"Everyone, it’s been over forty minutes since Wang Teng passed the eighth challenge, will he be able to pass the ninth?"

At this time, someone mumbled in the crowd.

Soon, others chimed in.

"What a joke! The ninth challenge is comprehending the Dao of Innate!"

"Indeed! The difficulty of comprehending the Dao of Innate is dozens of times higher than the Dao of Acquired. The probability of that kid passing is less than ten percent!"

"Ten percent? I think he can’t pass at all! He’s afraid of Daoist Monarch, that’s why he’s not coming out!"

As soon as these words fell, everyone nodded in agreement.

At the same time, in the center of the Great Hall,

Daoist Monarch Lu Ya and Profound Ancestor were also whispering to each other.

At this moment, Profound Ancestor sighed, "Daoist Monarch, now I understand why the Great Sacrificial Heaven wants to eliminate Wang Teng! That kid’s talent has already surpassed the Great Sacrificial Heaven, posing a threat to them!"

Daoist Monarch Lu Ya maintained a gloomy face throughout, appearing unhappy.

For someone like him, he was most unwilling to see juniors with talents surpassing his own.

Time is finite, and the cosmos’s resources are limited.

If Wang Teng were to step into the Eternal Realm, with his qualifications, he would undoubtedly surpass me.

This is definitely not something he wanted to see.

With this in mind, Lu Ya gave a cold smile, "Hehe~! This kid dares to disrespect me because of his exceptional talent!"

Profound Ancestor quickly said, "Daoist Monarch, that kid’s talent may be high, but his realm is ultimately too low. Once he comes out, I’ll act first for you and test his limits."

Lu Ya nodded slightly, "Very well! I just wonder what his strength will be when he returns this time?"

Profound Ancestor smiled slightly, "How strong can a Divine King be? Even if he is an Eight Cauldron Divine King, his strength reaching half-step Eternal is the limit."

Lu Ya, however, took a deep breath, "If he can advance to become a Nine Cauldron Divine King, he might achieve half-step Peak strength!"

Hearing this, Profound Ancestor’s face changed slightly, a hint of jealousy flashing through his eyes.

Then, he laughed, "How can the Dao of Innate be so easily comprehended, him wanting to achieve Nine Cauldron Divine King is simply a delusion..."

Before he finished speaking, the Great Hall above rumbled again.

The entire hall was shocked, and they all looked up...

[Purple Cloud Announcement: Congratulations to contestant Wang Teng for achieving Nine Cauldron Level Divine King, setting a new cosmic record, and receiving a Creation Level reward]

Boom~!

The entire room was once again in shock!

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Profound Ancestor’s mouth gaped wide open.

The next second, his face flushed red with embarrassment.

This slap in the face was just too timely!

At this moment, the entire hall fell into dead silence, not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

Meanwhile, in Yunxiao Hall, within the Mountain and River Map,

above the clouds of the Ninth Heaven and Earth.

The Cosmic Seal at Wang Teng’s forehead had already formed a new petal, becoming a flower with forty-one petals, exuding an immensely sacred aura.
