Chapter 245: Hard! The fist is hard!
[Time passed slowly, moment by moment.]
Suddenly, you seemed to have thought of something!
Looking at Shen Wutian, you said, "To show my sincerity, I can first tell you the key to the Divine Dao."
"As for the specific method, that will require you to show your sincerity."
Shen Wutian nodded at your words, "Reasonable!"
He felt that this kind of bargaining was how a transaction should be.
However, he didn't know that you actually hadn't figured out how to create a Divine Dao technique.
After all, the Divine Dao you practiced didn't have any special techniques.
That's why you thought of using some information Shen Wutian didn't know to bluff him.
Of course, you definitely wouldn't reveal this."Ahem!" You cleared your throat and stared at Shen Wutian, saying, "Do you think the key to the Divine Dao is a twelve-grade Core Formation? An unusual Nascent Soul?"
Shen Wutian looked at you in confusion, not replying, waiting for you to continue.
Seeing this, you muttered in your heart, "Boring, doesn't cooperate at all!"
Shen Wutian didn't cooperate, but your performance didn't stop.
Instead, you sneered, "Ha, completely wrong!"
Then, with a wave of your hand, you summoned a ball of golden chaotic energy from your Qi Sea.
Holding the chaotic energy in your hand, you continued to speak to Shen Wutian, "This is the key to the Divine Dao, the core of the Divine Dao!"
"Only by cultivating this chaotic energy can one truly be considered practicing the Divine Dao!"
Shen Wutian looked at the chaotic energy in your hand.
He could feel that it was different from the spiritual energy of the Immortal Dao and the primordial energy of the Martial Dao.
It was a higher form of energy.
At this moment, he completely believed your words.
He thought that the Ancient Texts he obtained might really be something a fraud used to deceive people.
But if that's the case, doesn't it mean that the claim in the Ancient Texts that the Divine Dao can help him devour laws and break through to higher realms is also false?
Thinking of this, Shen Wutian's expression darkened a bit.
From the beginning, he wanted to practice the Divine Dao not because it was powerful, but because his own cultivation talent had reached a bottleneck.
He couldn't break through to the Saint realm.
He wanted to practice the Divine Dao because he learned from the Ancient Texts that the Divine Dao could forcibly devour laws to achieve a breakthrough.
In essence, Shen Wutian's goal was always pure.
He just wanted to break through and completely escape the control of the Saint realm powerhouses of the Immortal Realm.
Of course, the Martial Dao could also forcibly devour laws.
But Shen Wutian had already experimented with that.
The laws devoured by the Martial Dao couldn't integrate with the insights of the Immortal Dao.
It couldn't help him break through.
And his talent in the Martial Dao was only average.
He couldn't match Saint realm powerhouses with the Martial Dao.
That's why he wanted to practice the Divine Dao.
But now, your words made him think that the Ancient Texts he obtained were wrong.
Doesn't that also prove that the claim about the Divine Dao forcibly devouring laws is false?
For a moment, Shen Wutian's interest in the Divine Dao diminished greatly.
He appeared somewhat dejected!
You observed Shen Wutian's change.
In fact, you roughly understood Shen Wutian's thoughts.
From the previous simulations, it was clear that Shen Wutian's intentions were straightforward.
He just wanted to use the dark arts of the Divine Dao to break through and escape control.
Now, you have denied his previous understanding of the Divine Dao.
It's only natural for him to feel that he can't break through with the Divine Dao.
And this is exactly what you wanted to see.
Without first shaking his confidence, how could you better deceive him?
After all, only those who doubt themselves are the easiest to deceive.
At this moment, it's best to leave Shen Wutian hanging for a while; then give him hope with your deceptive tactics.
It would surely be twice the result with half the effort!
However, you didn't do that.
Because Shen Wutian is not a fool, he might be confused for a while.
It's just that he's too afraid of those Saint realm beings in the Immortal Realm and too eager to escape control.
Eventually, he will definitely realize the truth.
Once he knows he's being misled by you, it will be difficult to deceive him then.
So, you struck while the iron was hot and continued, "As long as you cultivate this chaotic energy, you can easily break through realms."
"Those laws will all become food for this chaotic energy."
After speaking, you directly drew a wisp of the power of laws from the void and devoured it.
Your demeanor suggested that the ability to devour the power of laws was entirely due to the chaotic energy.
But is that really the case?
Of course not!
The Divine Dao's ability to devour the power of laws is merely because the physical body is strong enough to withstand the erosion of the laws.
This is the same as the Martial Dao.
You forcibly attributed this ability to the chaotic energy.
Only in this way could you better deceive Shen Wutian.
As for being seen through?
That's impossible.
The wisp of the power of laws you just drew was very weak, incapable of affecting you.
As long as you don't reveal anything, whatever you say goes.
To put it bluntly, you're just taking advantage of Shen Wutian's lack of experience with a real Divine Dao cultivator.
And you have to admit, you succeeded.
The previously dejected Shen Wutian's eyes lit up after seeing you devour a wisp of the power of laws.
He murmured to himself, "The Divine Dao really can devour laws!"
It seemed that the Ancient Texts on the Divine Dao he obtained weren't entirely useless.
Although they didn't mention chaotic energy, they did correctly state the ability to devour the power of laws.
At this moment, he felt that the Ancient Texts he obtained might not be fake, just incomplete.
That's why there was no record of chaotic energy.
However, none of that mattered now.
With you, a genuine Divine Dao cultivator here, as long as he could get the real Divine Dao texts from you, he still had a chance to break through using the Divine Dao.
In an instant, Shen Wutian thought of many things.
Finally, he smiled and said to you, "The secret of this place is known only to me, but I can't tell you until I've cultivated the Divine Dao."
Tough, his resolve was tough!
Hearing Shen Wutian's words, you couldn't help but clench your fists.
You had racked your brains to deceive him for so long.
And this is the result?
Seeing your expression change, Shen Wutian quickly continued, "I can't tell you the real secret now, but I can show you a few things I found here!"
With that, Shen Wutian took out a wooden box from his storage ring.
Hearing this, you slowly unclenched your fists.
Muttering to yourself, "Hold it in, hold it in, don't be impulsive!"
"Wait until you get the secret, then beat him up!"
However, after waiting for a long time, Shen Wutian still hadn't handed over the wooden box to you.
"Come on, just give it to me!"
"Don't force me to get rough!"
Unconsciously, you felt your fists clenching again.
You felt that Shen Wutian was simply testing the limits of your patience!
