I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

The Netherworld scoffed and said, “Why should I exchange information when I can just take a trip to the Taicang Domain to see any changes for myself? Do you really think I can’t deal with you?”

“Netherworld, I know you haven’t used your full strength, but do you think I don’t have any hidden cards? If I dared to face you, naturally, I have the confidence. Do you even dare to go to Taicang?

“Are you sure there’s no one in Taicang who can suppress you?”

Xu Yan’s smile was radiant. Encountering the Netherworld was a good thing.

Moreover, judging by the Netherworld’s demeanor, it seemed he wasn’t wholeheartedly concerned with the interests of the Imperishable Temple.

“Netherworld, perhaps you might gain some of the information you desire, which could help you escape your current predicament or even gain further insights?

“I, Xu Yan, have been cultivating for less than a hundred years, yet I have already achieved such strength, and I am confident that surpassing you, Netherworld, is not a difficult task.

“Consider it carefully, exchanging information with me is worthwhile; each gets what they need.”

The light around Xu Yan swirled, actively revealing his true age.

Xu Yan, less than a hundred years old and having cultivated for less than a century, possessed such strength that it could no longer be described as monstrous. At this moment, the Netherworld believed the claim of Xu Yan surpassing him!

Taking a deep breath, the Netherworld paused, no longer pursuing the chase, as it was unnecessary!

He believed Xu Yan had this confidence and must have enough aces in the hole to escape from him; continuing the chase would be a futile effort.

Xu Yan also paused, maintaining a certain distance from the Netherworld to respond promptly to any of his moves.

“Then let’s exchange information. Has the Taicang Domain acquired a new Master of the Domain?”

The Netherworld spoke in a deep voice.

“As I mentioned earlier, Taicang is history. Now it’s the Great Wilderness. The Great Wilderness has no Master of the Domain, but it has the Heavenly Dao!”

Xu Yan’s response was beyond the Netherworld’s expectation. At this moment, he truly took it seriously. Taicang had indeed become history. Although the Domain remained the same, it was no longer the Taicang Domain.

From Xu Yan’s answer, the Netherworld discerned the underlying issue. The Great Wilderness has no Master of the Domain but has the Heavenly Dao!

What is the Heavenly Dao?

What does the Heavenly Dao mean?

“What is the Heavenly Dao? What do you mean by the Heavenly Dao?”

The Netherworld asked gravely.

He had a hunch that the Heavenly Dao was extremely important to the Domain, fundamentally transforming its existence, turning Taicang into history and ushering in a new Domain. ＲäΝO͍ВЕŝ

“It’s your turn to answer my question now.”

Xu Yan did not answer the question about the Heavenly Dao, but instead smiled and said.

“Speak!”

The Netherworld took a deep breath. Although Xu Yan’s strength was much inferior to his, and much weaker, at this moment, the Netherworld dared not underestimate him or put on airs as the Master of the Domain.

“Where is the Imperishable Temple?”

Xu Yan thought for a moment before asking.

“The Imperishable Temple doesn’t have a fixed location. It has always roamed the Land of Imperishable and is now gradually approaching the… the Great Wilderness Domain.”

The Netherworld spoke in a deep voice.

Xu Yan nodded, “When will the Imperishable Temple approach the Great Wilderness and take action against it?”

“It won’t approach the Great Wilderness for the time being and will wait for the right opportunity. When the time comes, they will take action, but I am not sure when that will be.”

The Netherworld did not hide anything and, after finishing, asked, “Muxiao used True Spirit with the aim of entering the Great Wilderness Domain to enhance its Qi of Domain. Has Muxiao failed?”

At this moment, the Netherworld suddenly remembered the earlier attempt by Muxiao to target the Great Wilderness Domain, with the purpose of controlling the Domain, enhancing its Qi, and setting up certain arrangements to prepare for devouring the Domain before the Next Era commenced.

Since Xu Yan appeared there with such exceptional strength and since the Great Wilderness introduced the “Heavenly Dao,” the likelihood of Muxiao failing was very high.

The Netherworld also thought of the Witch Demon Domain, as it had once collided with the Great Wilderness. Did it really not cause any damage to the Great Wilderness?

Was there another hidden agenda in this?

“Did the Witch Demon Domain colliding with the Great Wilderness not cause any upheaval? Is there another hidden story behind this?”

“That’s two questions now,” Xu Yan said with a smile. “Of course, Muxiao failed, but he didn’t die. As for the Witch Demon Domain, it has already merged with the Great Wilderness, becoming its Yin Realm. The Seductive Witch and others have already become members of the Great Wilderness.”

At this moment, the Netherworld became increasingly curious about the changes in the Taicang Domain.

Yin Realm?

What was that, and in what way had the Taicang Domain transformed after becoming the Great Wilderness?

Indeed, Muxiao failed, but why didn’t he die?

“What is the Yin Realm?” the Netherworld asked impatiently.

“It’s my turn to ask now.”

Xu Yan’s smile was radiant.

“Ask!” Even though the Netherworld was incredibly curious, he could only speak helplessly.

“What strength does the Unchanging Divine Master possess? Why were you accepted by the Unchanging Divine Master when I heard that all beings of the Domain would be devoured by the Imperishable Temple?”

Xu Yan asked curiously.

The fact that the Netherworld could be accepted raised his suspicion that, during the Great Battle, the Netherworld might have betrayed them; perhaps the fall of Taicang was due to his backstabbing.

Since discovering that the Netherworld was alive and had become a powerful figure in the Imperishable Temple, Xu Yan was not the only one who speculated about it.

“I don’t know.”

The Netherworld shook his head, his expression solemn, “I don’t even know his exact form or how powerful he is. However, I know that killing me wouldn’t be difficult for him.”

Then he sighed deeply, showing some helplessness between his expressions, “You must have noticed that although I am the Master of the Domain, the Qi of Domain has disappeared.

“This is the price; my Qi of Domain was completely extracted, allowing me to be accepted by the Imperishable Temple. Naturally, someone came forward to intercede on my behalf, allowing me to seek refuge there.”

Without waiting for Xu Yan to ask, he then smirked self-deprecatingly, “You’re probably wondering if I betrayed Taicang during the Great Battle, right?”

Xu Yan nodded, “I’m not the only one with that suspicion.”

The Netherworld remained silent for a while, his expression showing a bit of sadness, “Taicang was undoubtedly a great big brother. Everyone knew he suppressed me, but I never resented him. After all, it was my fault. I, the Netherworld, was unyielding but only submitted to Taicang.

“When I was suppressed, it was actually because I had some issues with my cultivation. I accidentally made some mistakes in cultivating the Blood Demon Path, affecting my rationality.

“Taicang suppressed me to help solve this problem, after which my Blood Demon Path was truly complete without the worry of affecting my rationality.”

Xu Yan was stunned, not expecting that there was such an inside story to the suppression of the Netherworld.

Back then, the Netherworld had issues with his cultivation, affecting his rationality, and thus targeted the Master of the Qing Ling Domain, leading Taicang to suppress him. Taicang suppressed him to help resolve his issues.

“Which among the six of us didn’t submit to Taicang? The Witch Demon was even more arrogant and rebellious than I was; even he dared not show any disrespect before Taicang. Our Path of Cultivation was guided by Taicang himself.

“I have often wondered why we lost during that battle. Recently, I realized we weren’t wronged.”

The Netherworld seemed touched by deeply buried feelings and continued speaking without waiting for Xu Yan to ask.

“The battle was even more brutal than you imagined.”

Recalling, the Netherworld said, “The battle among the Minor Domain Masters was already intense, but what truly decided the outcome was the six of us. The number of Master of Domain figures in the Imperishable Temple exceeded the imagination of those Minor Domain Masters, despite them being False Masters of Domain…”

Xu Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Why are they called False Masters of Domain?”

The Netherworld smiled and explained, “They have no Domain, but they have something similar to the Dao Principles a Master of the Domain possesses and have reached the Master of Domain level. Doesn’t that make them False Masters of Domain?

“Actually, before us, this level of power wasn’t defined by the Imperishable Temple this way; rather, it was termed as Guardian Realm, which meant having the strength to become a protector of the Imperishable Temple.

“After the seven of us Master of Domains appeared, this realm’s strength was defined as a Master of Domain, though without opening a Domain, they can also be called False Masters of Domain.

“The Masters of Domain in the Imperishable Temple were weaker than us but stronger than the Minor Domain Masters, who should now be called Realm Masters.

“Before we fought with the Imperishable Temple, there was a period of interaction and probing. The definition for this power level emerged during that time.”
