Chapter 966 - 902: The Limit of Rule Endurance

The sudden words of the wise old man caused the crowd to be stunned.

After finally gathering eight Divine Dao Realm, why is it not enough?

Everyone was waiting for his next words, except for Han Yu, who was rolling his eyes aside because he knew the other’s nature too well.

This old ghost, whenever he takes the initiative to speak, it’s bound not to be good news.

Especially jumping out after peeping for half the day, it’s rather wickedly amusing.

A group of people were looking at Han Yu, or waiting for the wise old man to speak.

A helpless voice echoed continuously in the void, "Guess why the Celestial Being takes three rules, not four, not five, or why not more?"

Whether it’s the one from the Yama Hall or the Celestial Dao Sect, both deceived three rules from the Heavenly Dao.

Then comes the question, is it that they couldn’t deceive more?

Han Yu’s face was strange, the wise old man liked to pose established facts as questions.

So the question itself is the answer.

He began to speak with an eerie tone, "Are you trying to say that the Celestial Beings can’t take too many rules?"

Are three rules too many?

For those who haven’t mastered the rules, it seems hard to understand.

But the old Daoist’s expression suddenly changed, naturally because he recalled his own experiences.

He spent thousands of years on just one rule, so even if Celestial Beings are exceptionally different from them, it seems impossible to occupy all the rules.

So, taking only three rules isn’t because they didn’t want to, but because they couldn’t take more?

"The flesh has limits, even if the power makes a difference, there is still a limit to how many rules it can bear."

The crowd pondered fearfully, can Celestial Beings only bear three rules?

The old Daoist suddenly raised a question, "Those were things from ten thousand years ago, what if those two can bear more now?"

The wise old man’s mocking voice struck, heatily retorting, "Thirty rules or three hundred rules?"

That kind of hypothesis is meaningless, Celestial Beings have limits, no matter how strong, it’s impossible to encompass all rules.

"Then currently with these eight Divine Dao Realm in the Central Continent, aren’t they unable to retrieve much?"

Quan Xiaotong’s complexion was unpleasant, Celestial Beings only secured three rules, and the Divine Dao Realm here isn’t strong, probably each person can only take one rule.

A total of three thousand rules, taking eight is as good as not making a splash at all.

"No, it’s not like that, the Yama Hall and the Celestial Dao Sect would be the same, shouldn’t be a big problem."

Mu Zili thought since they couldn’t take too many, it’s likely the same for the others.

"No, you’re wrong, they have a way, that’s what I want to remind you about."

The wise old man slowly spoke, his voice full of helplessness.

"What method are they using?"

Han Yu couldn’t help but ask, if possible, whatever the opponent can achieve, they could also find a way to accomplish it.

"They... use Heavenly Dao’s favored son’s method."

The wise old man spoke half mockingly and half seriously, everyone unconsciously looked at Han Yu.

Some were still pondering the meaning of the wise old man’s words, but someone got it first.

The old Daoist broke free from Mu Zili, but it wasn’t to argue, instead, he stood in front of Han Yu, talking to the void.

"You mean, the rules on this young man are actually a shortcut used by Heavenly Dao to let him indirectly possess them, and those two have thought of this method too?"

Initially, the rules on Han Yu make sense, using external objects to bear the rules, thus allowing Han Yu to possess them from the start, and because of external objects bearing them, there’s no worry about the issue of bearing.

Therefore, Han Yu can have two rules.

This method devised by the Heavenly Dao can be thought of, no reason those two who managed to deceive the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t come up with it, it’s very reasonable.

"You ought to change your method of finding the Heavenly Dao, make sure to find a way to grab the rules first, as many as possible, this may relate to the confrontation later."

The wise old man sternly advised.

If Han Yu can use external objects to wield rules, then others can too.

At that time, it might be about the power of rules, the ultimate power.

"You’re standing and talking, it doesn’t hurt, come down here, let me go over there, let’s switch places and you come to grab them."

Han Yu couldn’t help but speak up, grumbling.

First, he says they can’t bear too many rules, then says they need to find a way to grab more rules.

It’s all just moving their lips, and everything else is up to them, isn’t it?

The wise old man’s tone was filled with helplessness, "If I could come down, I would’ve come down long ago, blame it on the Heavenly Dao for being stupid and getting tricked for such a big sum."

Despite the sarcasm, the wise old man continued, "But the Heavenly Dao knows it’s been deceived, it can’t not have a backup for these rules, it’s surely deployed something, you have to find it."

That’s it?

The wise old man seemed to stop talking, the crowd waited long but no more words came.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, after a moment they finally confirmed the other had left, Han Yu’s face darkened, was it just to say these few words and walk off like that?

Apparently not, because the wise old man came back again, suddenly speaking.

"If the Heavenly Dao left a means, it’s highly likely related to Han Yu, after all, the favored son!"

After reminding this, the wise old man truly ran off.

This old ghost, after hearing the old Daoist’s teasing, learned to mimic.

Han Yu gritted his teeth in anger, he never felt how Heavenly Dao favored him.

To mix this way relied entirely on luck, not to mention, if Ping were given to someone smart, and a few tricks played, they’d probably be wiped out directly in Central Continent.

No background, no power, with various heaven-defying Pills, it’s difficult not to cause trouble.

Otherwise, why would he run all over the world, just for safety, making trouble then switching places.

However, the wise old man’s words gave the crowd an idea, one after another began to scrutinize Han Yu.

If the Heavenly Dao left a means that’s related to Han Yu, then the scope is greatly narrowed.

"Could it be you?"

Mu Zili couldn’t help but address the Artifact Spirit, since currently, it seems to be the most plausible thing on Han Yu.

Especially for the old Daoist, his eyes suddenly brightened, couldn’t help but speak, "Right, you can seize items using rules, could it be the three thousand rules are for you to seize them all?"

Even Han Yu was somewhat moved by what he heard, this reasoning wasn’t baseless!

If there was truly a backup plan, wouldn’t it just be Ping and the Artifact Spirit on him.

Mostly it’s either Ping or the Artifact Spirit.

Ping couldn’t utter a single word, the Artifact Spirit seemed more likely.

"If that’s the case, could I possibly possess three thousand kinds of rules?"

The Artifact Spirit nearly went crazy with joy, if it were true, then what would it fear?

"Hurry to seize all the rules back, then I’ll take you to defeat those two Celestial Beings and we’ll overthrow the Heavenly Dao, after that Central Continent will be up to us."

The Artifact Spirit’s words directly caused everyone’s face to turn strange, the crowd involuntarily imagined what it would be like if this guy truly became the Heavenly Dao.

It’s indeed somewhat odd.

"Foundation may not match the Celestial Beings, then let’s compare who has more rules."

That’s how it thinks, and Han Yu happens to think the same.

"Then it’s settled like this, you eight go seize rules, Ye Hei and the others will continue searching for traces of Heavenly Dao."

Quan Xiaotong sighed, the pace is too fast, very hard to keep up with the Yama Hall and the Celestial Dao Sect’s foundation.

At first, thought Divine Dao Realm was the limit, ultimately thinking there would be a way to catch up.

Now even rules have appeared.

This plot that started ten thousand years ago, has developed to the point where it’s nearly unreachable for them.

It’s possible that in the final confrontation, they can only play a minor role, ultimately the showdown will have to be fought by the top-tier forces.
