I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

So he knew, thirty years ago, Yue Gongnu truly believed she was wrong.

For this, she was willing to give up everything, surrendering the successor of the Holy Emperor to her brother, and no longer dared to hope for the future.

Dao Qiongcang also once thought he wouldn't see Yue Gongnu return.

Until he heard in the Divine Relics, from Bazhun'an's own mouth:

"Yes, we have a child."

And upon learning the past youthful history of Cao Erzhu with "August" — that child had even grown up.

How could someone who had given up everything still leave behind a child?

Did she truly relinquish everything, or did she exchange all that for the birth of a child?

Once these two matters were confirmed, Dao Qiongcang was almost certain that Yue Gongnu thirty years ago hadn't understood herself at all.

This was quite normal.

Not everyone has the Heavenly Mechanism Brain, nor can everyone stay clear-headed all the time.

To this day, there are far too many who are unclear about their situation in the secret realm of the five holy lands.

But the choice had already been made.

One must pay for their choices.

Thirty years in the cold prison was the best punishment.

Yet the thirty-year precipitation in the cold prison was enough for Yue Gongnu to sort out what truly was "right" and "wrong." She wasn't stupid.

— Too late!

The matter was settled, and by herself, she couldn't turn the situation around.

But what if, at this moment, someone were to unlock the shackle of the Dusty Gate for her and let in a sliver of light through the crack?

Would she seize it?

She would!

The truth is she not only seized it but held onto it tightly, unwilling and too afraid to let go again!

Reality is a dream realm.

Too many people awake are still sinking in delusion.

Lacking strength, they can only wait for that one opportunity.

Dao Qiongcang was always the creator of that "opportunity." He understood Yuegong Hui was merely a spark. The one who could sever her past was only Yue Gongnu, who woke up but no longer wished to sink!

Only when she was willing, could this plan reach a more perfect completion.

Otherwise, the only success would be the step of tricking Dao Xuanji.

If she wasn't willing to wake up, even if Bazhun'an was brought into the cold prison, the answer received might just be a tearful shake of the head.

Of course, no matter how it changed, Dao Qiongcang would always choose himself out.

He wouldn't lose anything, just gain a little less, or more depending on the development.

Fortunately!

Everything was still within the plan!

This plan could still proceed and head towards a more perfect direction!

"Go see the outside world, it's been thirty years, things are very different now," Dao Qiongcang said with a smile, discarding his disguise and returning to the dress of Hallmaster Dao.

With just the phrase "Daoist Master," he was mostly sure Yue Gongnu's ambition wasn't lost. Even in the cold prison, she wasn't oblivious to the affairs outside but understood the situation of the five regions well.

Yet with such a favorable connection sent his way, Dao Qiongcang dared not accept it; it was somewhat excessive, and the Cold Palace Emperor Realm wasn't full of fools.

"This is not a place to linger, let's leave first."

"There is one more person I want to introduce to you, a young talent."

Yue Gongnu nodded: "Xu Xiaoshou?"

Dao Qiongcang shook his head: "It's Lord Shou."

"Lord Shou..."

"Whether he is Lord Shou or not is no longer important. If you leave the Cold Palace Emperor Realm like this, the matter will be exposed prematurely," Dao Qiongcang said, taking out an iron collar but hesitated to hand it over.

Very awkward!

As Dao Xuanji, she certainly couldn't let Yue Gongnu, who mastered the power of the ancestral source, leave here with all her skills intact.

— Her sister was too weak, her combat power couldn't match Yue Gongnu, even with thirty more years of daoist practice!

Dao Qiongcang had, of course, prepared an excuse, wanting to use the weapon prohibition order to ban Yue Gongnu's considerable ability before taking her out.

The problem arose from his previous boasting.

In front of Yue Gongnu, he'd once said this iron collar was a dog chain, that putting it on would instantly elevate one's position to Kui Leihan's level.

One comment, offending two people.

If Yue Gongnu shared this with someone after they left, it would offend three people!

Thinking of how Yuegong Hui tragically died under the Angry Immortal Buddha Sword... Dao Qiongcang didn't dare to extend the dog chain; he wanted to pull it out but didn't dare to, wanted to hide it but didn't dare to hide it.

Yue Gongnu didn't glance at the dog chain or dog tag.

With the Power of Divinity, she extracted the sword cognition within the Angry Immortal Buddha Sword, pinching the spell to guide it, and slowly the sword cognition formed a seal.

It resembled Xu Xiaoshou's Vanishing Technique, but it wasn't.

"Sealing Character Formation."

One seal imprinted upon herself.

Yue Gongnu's aura returned to calmness, not leaking a trace, and just as she was about to speak...

Bang!

Dao Qiongcang suddenly acted.

He removed the weapon prohibition order from the iron collar and slammed it onto Yue Gongnu's forehead, merging it into her soul.

"Apologies."

Once again, her entire essence was sealed.

Yue Gongnu fell backward under the deep sea, almost drowned into unconsciousness by the seawater.

She opened her mouth, spitting out a mist of blood, making no final resistance and powerless to resist.

The drama should drop the curtain at this moment.

Whether it's Yuegong Hui, Dai'er, or Dao Qiongcang... everything that happened here would be retraced by the Force of Rules when exposed.

The Cold Palace Emperor Realm isn't a place where one can come and go freely; someone must take responsibility for what's happening now.

Who is it?

The moment she stepped out of the cold prison, there was no need to ask; Yue Gongnu knew the answer, and she knew the entire plan of Dao Qiongcang.

And she could also be certain that Dao Qiongcang was Dao Qiongcang, not Dao Xuanji!

If you ask why...
