I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4208: Chapter 1976: Watching the Fire (Part 2)

Xu Xiaoshou was anxious, but his face remained incredibly calm, his peripheral vision constantly fixed on Dao Qiongcang beside him.

Previously, when offering the Cursed Yin Puppet, Dao Qiongcang had branded it without any concealment.

Outsiders could not know the inner workings of Medicine Ancestor and Cursed Yin’s possession; if this person desired, he could certainly intervene indirectly and witness firsthand.

Yet, Dao Qiongcang seemed extremely restrained.

Although he maintained his usual composure from the past, at this moment, his breathing was visibly heavier, and the fervor in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Even so, this person could still remain inactive.

He insisted on waiting, hoping that when the struggle between life, reincarnation, and Cursed Yin’s power on the body of Medicine Ancestor became more intense, he would be too preoccupied.

"Xu Xiaoshou, keep an eye on Cross Corner Street and beware of ’demons’; I leave my back to you."

Dao Qiongcang swiftly dropped this line, stepped onto the Memory River, and immersed himself into the river.

"Don’t worry, my Dao."

Xu Xiaoshou clenched his fist, his expression solemn.

After watching Dao Qiongcang leave Cross Corner Street, he took a deep breath and then...

Kept waiting!

He continued to wait until the struggle between life, reincarnation, and Cursed Yin’s power on Medicine Ancestor’s body was in full swing, enough to completely attract Dao Qiongcang’s attention, leaving him too busy to focus elsewhere.

Xu Xiaoshou turned his foot, stepping onto the Will Dao Disc, and flames burned fiercely in his eyes.

"What’s the point of fighting? I’ll take a look too!"

The Cursed Yin Puppet had been in his hands for half a year, sealed initially by Feng Yujin and later reinforced by his own Will Path Extreme Realm.

With such a long time for slow penetration, his brand was deeper than Dao Qiongcang’s dormant mark, even Cursed Yin was unaware.

Cutting out a strand of his mind, holding a mindset of looking and then discarding.

Xu Xiaoshou activated the hidden brand silently, performing the God Descent Technique, and squeezed through the crack that none could peer through in the possession battle.

...

Whoa!

A spark seemed to ignite in the darkness.

Soon followed by the brilliant bloom of divine path patterns, dazzling beyond compare.

This was a mysterious world!

No sky, no earth, and no living beings whatsoever.

Around the darkness, the only thing lighting up was the blinding light akin to Great Dao laws, crisscrossing to outline a vast life diagram.

"Medicine Ancestor’s life pattern!"

"If externalized as a Life Dao Disc, it would definitely be 99%, if not 100%!"

Understanding this was the internal world of Medicine Ancestor, Xu Xiaoshou was amazed at the sight of this grand life diagram from just the first glance.

Anyone else here might see this pattern but gain nothing.

He was different; he possessed the Life Dao Disc, and even though currently only at 90%, not matching Medicine Ancestor, it was already in a transcendent state.

Xu Xiaoshou had ample basic knowledge to support his understanding of this life diagram, and then spend time restoring it to the Great Dao Disc.

In other words, as soon as he memorized it, he could trace it out, pushing the Life Dao Disc to 99%, later pondering on the Life Path to push the realm to true Extreme Realm.

From result, trace back the process.

This method was frequently used, and currently, Xu Xiaoshou’s technique of learning by stealth had reached Extreme Realm!

However...

"Can’t be reckless, can’t be reckless!"

The thought was too wild; Medicine Ancestor wasn’t finished yet.

At this moment, let alone pushing Life Dao Disc to 99%.

Even a slight breakthrough from 90% to 91% would ruin the guidance of oblivion for so long, drawing him back into Medicine Ancestor’s focus.

"Medicine Ancestor alive, the Life Path can’t be further advanced."

"Otherwise, I’ll be the next Kui Leihan, oppressed without daring to breathe for thirty years."

Xu Xiaoshou had long made such a decision, just wrote down Medicine Ancestor’s life diagram and temporarily put the matter aside, continuing to observe the surroundings.

This world was the Life Pattern World of Medicine Ancestor.

Using muscle and vein to draw the framework of divine path pattern lines, stacking Great Path insights with the internal organs’ vibrant depth, yet all power directed towards the head of the life diagram, Mud Ball Palace of the deity!

Above the life diagram, three forces intertwined and pushed each other, chiefly life, reincarnation, and Cursed Yin’s power.

Xu Xiaoshou caught sight of the purple force representing Cursed Yin’s evil energy and couldn’t help but remark:

"The intensity of sensory possession is really too high!"

The purple force visibly continued to invade the life diagram.

Previously it had seized one-third outside, now approaching to occupy half.

"Forget Medicine Ancestor, so weak?"

Xu Xiaoshou frowned immediately but quickly realized.

It wasn’t that Medicine Ancestor was weak, but His preparation against possession technique was not as much as Cursed Yin.

Unprepared, coupled with the high level of this technique, ordinary people couldn’t resist Cursed Yin’s lethality, Medicine Ancestor could only prepare each handmeasuredly retreat into Mud Ball Palace, guarding the mind to this extent, had already done perfectly.

"Tsssssss!"

Beside the ear was Cursed Yin’s manic laughter, filled with madness and interspersed with some nonsensical demonic gibberish.

From the laughter, Cursed Yin indeed lost self, only the obsession of aggression remained.

The life diagram resembled rivers of the five regions, intersected and intertwined.

The hidden brand Xu Xiaoshou’s consciousness adhered to was like a grain of silt on one of the tributaries of these rivers.

It belonged to a part of Cursed Yin’s power, as long as there was no order from the master, it followed Cursed Yin’s obsession, advancing rapidly on the vast river-like life diagram network.

"Interesting..."

It was Xu Xiaoshou’s first time so directly witnessing possession from the perspective of life diagram.

He easily assessed the gap between enemy and self:

"Cursed Yin’s momentum is fierce, unstoppable!"

Cursed Yin’s velocity was too fast.

Life and reincarnation powers were neutral and gentle, even if they could transform into extreme Yin and Yang, under the extremely obsessive ’Vanishing Technique of Cursed’ power, they paled slightly.
