I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4211: Chapter 1977: Intent River_2

Little did they know, just a slight slip was enough to catch the fish!

"Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving!"

In the Western Desert, the true body of the Medicine Ancestor opened its eyes, a smile spreading uncontrollably across its lips.

With a movement as fast as lightning, it struck three points on its chest, sealing off the life diagram entrances and exits in this zone.

"The Memory Path that has been delivered willingly..."

"Hehehe!"

...

"This is bad!"

At Cross Corner Street, Dao Qiongcang’s face changed dramatically.

He hadn’t underestimated the Medicine Ancestor; he had prepared for the likelihood of being discovered when he made his move. But he hadn’t anticipated it would happen so quickly!

"Impossible!"

"He had no defenses against me..."

His thoughts had just reached this point when they stalled.

In his mind, the detestable scene of Xu Xiaoshou, declaring as Bei Huai in Dragon Cave — Heavenly Slaughter’s Xu Xiaoshou — came to the forefront.

Why had he not considered this phase?

Dao Qiongcang, in your battle of robbing paths, how could you be so careless?

In that moment, Dao Qiongcang even had the thought of killing himself.

Clearly, a "tip-off" wasn’t an issue; just being mentally prepared could have allowed him to obscure things more, surely diverting the Medicine Ancestor’s focus.

Now, he could only retreat!

However, his consciousness had barely withdrawn halfway when the world of the Medicine Ancestor’s life pattern blocked and exiled his location.

——Halved!

Dao Qiongcang’s consciousness split in two.

Part of it was trapped inside the Medicine Ancestor; although it lingered at the back of the Memory River, it was only a matter of time before the Medicine Ancestor found it.

The other part, though it returned, was immediately aware of the pain and correctly turned to seek help from Xu Xiaoshou beside him...

"Uh."

The world suddenly went silent.

Dao Qiongcang gazed at the empty space beside him.

Looking again at his actual location, he realized he was not at the central crater but at the extreme east end of East Street.

In that flash, he realized why he hadn’t cared about the "tip-off".

Simultaneously, he understood what had happened to his body, which lingered at the Cross Corner Street during the battle inside the Medicine Ancestor.

——Suddenly like a startled bird, his body burst with power, fleeing far from Xu Xiaoshou.

"Xu Xiaoshou used his ’Great Forgetfulness Technique’, and my body maintained its escape order, running far away..."

"Ah, damn Xu Xiaoshou!"

Things were not going well.

Anyone else would have despaired and blamed heaven and earth.

Dao Qiongcang blamed no one, nor did he have time to; he could only blame himself for entering the Medicine Ancestor without full preparation.

Immediately, he stepped out of the Memory River, intending to mend his mistakes.

Casting a technique, he spat out blood essence, his face bulging with veins and eyeballs bloodshot from the effort. Dao Qiongcang shouted:

"Great Severing Technique!"

...

"Cursed, Passive Points, +1."

"Condemned, Passive Points, +1."

Xu Xiaoshou stared at his Information Bar, baffled by the two entries that appeared, utterly confused.

During the war of Medicine Path, he was quite idle.

Having noticed the blockage location of the Medicine Ancestor’s life diagram, he had long distanced himself from Dao Qiongcang, hiding on the other side.

Shortly thereafter, he amusingly and absurdly watched as the flamboyant Elder Dao on the black Memory River got tricked for the first time by the fellow scheming Medicine Ancestor and suffered quite a defeat.

Halfway through his escape, his body was severed, leaving only half his consciousness’ body, unable to leave the Medicine Ancestor’s life pattern world.

If he wasn’t afraid to approach, Xu Xiaoshou would have lent a hand, regardless of cooperation, to the half-conscious body of Dao Qiongcang.

At that time, at Cross Corner Street, Dao Qiongcang cast a technique, and Xu Xiaoshou suddenly sensed something was amiss.

His brain throbbed violently, like needles piercing with sharp pain.

His Will Path surged wildly, as if someone holding a pencil and an eraser rushed in, intending to change something upon surveying.

"Memory, altered?"

...

Buzz!

The scene before his eyes glitched.

Or rather, a previous scene underwent new changes.

It was still the Cross Corner Street scenario.

It was clearly after Cursed Yin had cast the Extraction and Possession Technique, that Dao Qiongcang waited momentarily and infiltrated the enemy’s army formation, deeply entering the Medicine Ancestor’s life pattern world.

Xu Xiaoshou determined, under his Dao Extreme Realm of Will Path, that the memory was undoubtedly correct.

Yet after a blink, he saw it was actually Dao Qiongcang charging at the crater, casting a technique, slicing part of his consciousness, and implanting it into Bei Huai’s body.

"Eerrgh!"

Having been possessed once, tortured beyond recognition, Bei Huai cried out in pain.

Soon, Bei Huai’s eyes opened, as if temporarily possessed by Dao Qiongcang, employing the Divine Secret technique.

The Body of Consciousness of Bei Huai, following the branding Dao Qiongcang left in the Evil Yin Consciousness, entered the Medicine Ancestor’s life pattern world to spectate.

Afterwards, the consciousness entity standing on the black Memory River was clearly not Dao Qiongcang, but...

"Bei Huai?"

...

"Great Severing Technique..."

"Can memories be severed like this too?"

Xu Xiaoshou’s face changed drastically, the shock in his heart no less than when he first saw Cursed Yin plant Reverse Inheritance in the past, confining his independence.

It is all about being present, changing the future by altering the past.

Cursed Yin could do it because it was an ancient Ancestral God, with extraordinary combat strength and mysterious Phantom Swords Technique.

Moreover, at that time, he was weak and unable to resist.

The flamboyant Elder Dao at that level thinks he can do the same?

Furthermore, his alteration should affect the memory of everyone who witnessed "Dao Qiongcang being halved", including himself, and naturally the Medicine Ancestor too!
