I Am Loaded with Passive Skills
Chapter 3524 - 1731: All Upanishads Bestowed, Magic Dog Meal No Longer a Dream

"Where is the Time Ancestor?"

"Spacetime is eternal... Time Ancestor, what exactly is going on?"

Xu Xiaoshou finally realized that he had actually forgotten to factor in the Time Ancestor.

No matter how peculiar this being was, it was an indispensable tenth part.

Peculiar indeed, yet stable.

At least it won't split from one into two, nor will it become zero.

Dao Qiongcang clearly understood the shock received by those hearing for the first time that the Ten Ancestors only consist of Eight Ancestors and explained immediately:

"Actually, the best way to calculate the Ancestral God is not to look at the Ancestral God nor whether its power is polarized between good and evil, but to look at the Divine Destiny Grid of the Ancestral God."

That really hits the mark.

Anyone who contracts the Divine Destiny Grid of the Ancestral God and survives becomes "Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor," regardless of how much combat strength remains.

Xu Xiaoshou listened quietly, then heard Dao Qiongcang say astonishingly:

"The Holy Ancestor sealed themselves twice, and the second sealing became the Demon Ancestor, utilizing two Divine Destiny Grids of the Ancestral God."

"The same goes for the Medicine Ancestor, sealed a second time they became the Ghost Ancestor, who is also the god of death."

Is this the reason why among the Ten Ancestors, there are both the Holy Ancestor and Demon Ancestor and also the Medicine Ancestor and Ghost Ancestor?

Is it sealed according to the Divine Destiny Grid of the Ancestral God?

"Then, what about the Ancestor of Sorcery?" Xu Xiaoshou thought of another key point.

Dao Qiongcang replied, "You must have guessed as well, the Ancestor of Sorcery likewise had two titles: 'Ancestor of Sorcery' and 'Evil God', but he used only one Divine Destiny Grid of the Ancestral God."

A pause, he continued seriously:

"Perhaps you can understand it this way."

"The first half of the Holy Ancestor and Medicine Ancestor's lives was them, but in the latter half, they split and gave rise to another tangible 'person', who also became an Ancestral God, namely the Demon Ancestor and the Ghost Ancestor."

"After this, the Ancestor of Sorcery advanced in this way, using the Incarnation Technique, and within the usage of the same Divine Destiny Grid of the Ancestral God, sealed a 'Cursed Yin.'

"Cursed Yin possessed power equal to that of an Ancestral God, yet essentially did not have the Divine Destiny Grid of the Ancestral God, thus, though named 'Evil God', it does not belong among the Ten Ancestors."

From two, to one...

Xu Xiaoshou was not foolish.

Following Dao Qiongcang's train of thought, he quickly associated whether there was a way to achieve Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor without the use of the Divine Destiny Grid of the Ancestral God, relying on oneself?

Is this "zero"?

Is this the method pursued by the Holy Ancestor, Medicine Ancestor, Ancestor of Sorcery, other reincarnated ancestors, and even the Time Ancestor?

"Zero?" he asked.

"There is no zero." Dao Qiongcang chuckled, knowing where Xu Xiaoshou's intention lay, "At least not currently, but I once had a 'Number Zero'..."

This dark joke, Xu Xiaoshou could not find funny at all.

Because Dao Qiongcang did not deny the foundational logic in Xu Xiaoshou's words, he did not reject the conceptual thought of "from two to one to zero."

That is to say...

There's no need to question the Holy Ancestor and Medicine Ancestor about the extra effort of recombining and re-sealing one each of themselves.

No need to ask why the Ancestor of Sorcery's former self is the Ancestor of Sorcery, but later becomes the Cursed Yin which pollutes the entire Southern Region of the Land of Sin.

All their actions, the purpose is to achieve "zero"?

——To cast off the "restriction" of the Divine Destiny Grid, rely on their own powers to achieve Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor?

Xu Xiaoshou did not know what "zero" was.

After all, even the Ten Ancestors hadn't successfully practiced it yet.

But he seemed to understand why each of the last generation Ten Venerable Seated made different choices, yet generally, they all aimed for the "achieve at one stroke" that led to the same destination.

"So, is this the fundamental reason Bazhun'an told me not to use the semi-saint person status to attempt sanctification?"

"Because once you embark on the path of Spiritual Cultivation, it's like following the old path of the Holy Ancestor, there's no turning back?"

No!

No absolutes in this world!

Xu Xiaoshou quickly realized that there was not truly no turning back.

After all, someone as smart as Dao Qiongcang used his semi-saint person status to seal himself as a demi-saint.

This proves a point.

The path ahead of the Holy Ancestor to turn into the Demon Ancestor might be difficult.

But in Dao Qiongcang's world, difficult did not mean hopeless, he did this because he...

Surpasses the Holy Ancestor.

Confident?

Suddenly, Xu Xiaoshou felt a chill run down his spine.

This wasn't just because of Dao Qiongcang, but also because, at this time, recalling Bei Huai's research...

He suddenly understood why he previously felt that Bei Huai's research of empowering Sovereign (Stage) Spiritual Cultivators with the Power of the Higher Void seemed so strange.

Humans are inherently selfish.

He most likely did this as a secondary concern.

In reality, Bei Huai too was attempting to find the path from one to zero of achieving Godhood-Sealing and Ancestor, in what he perceived to be the right way, wasn't he?

"Bei Huai's ghost beast, Kui Leihan's Penetrating Divine Senses, Dao Qiongcang's Way of the Heavens' energy movement, Bazhun'an's Fou Ji..."

Some appear to stand still, unmoving, yet are advancing rapidly on another path...

The reply from Bazhun'an came.

He knew quite a lot, nearly indistinguishable from Dao Qiongcang's words.

One could say, the more one approached the top echelons, the existence of the Cage Theory made people reflect in horror.

"Tsk, truly terrifying..."

Xu Xiaoshou drew back his spirit, yet couldn't help glancing at what remained of his confidence.

"Passive Points: 101411556."

Over a hundred million!

Xu Xiaoshou's pupils trembled.

Counting thoroughly, it seemed it really was over a hundred million, wasn't it?

He spent ten million Passive Points on the Mang Sword Dao Disc's Super Taoization.

In theory, his stock should have been reduced to just over fifty million, but during the breakthrough of transcending the tribulation and while the Way of the Sword Disc was breakthrough, even without consciously making a fuss, the commotion was immense.

Even if the leeks of Jade Capital City couldn't grow much, in over half a month, Passive Points still trickled in bit by bit, and finally, instead of decreasing, it rose instead.

"It actually exceeded a hundred million..."

"This is such a headache, how should I spend it wisely?"

Super Taoization had already reached the rules limit of the Divine Relics.
