Chapter 662: Chapter 90: The Bone Reading Secret Technique, Blinded Eyes Chapter 662: Chapter 90: The Bone Reading Secret Technique, Blinded Eyes Having become the master of the Mortal Life Path, how could he then become the lord of the Six Paths?
Wei Dongliu had thought it through long ago.
Becoming the Sect Leader of the Mortal Life Path allowed him to flaunt the authority of the Blood Sea Ancestor;
But to become the lord of the Six Paths, he would need the recognition of the Great Unrestrained Sage and the Honored White Bone.
The Blood Sea Ancestor had sent him to visit the Nether Ghost Path ostensibly to celebrate that the Honored White Bone had taken a Direct Disciple, but in reality, it was to get his face known in front of the Honored White Bone.
Thinking this way, the likelihood that the Blood Sea Ancestor was a secret agent of the Hell Path greatly increased…
Could his real identity be that of Luo the Long-lived?
While on his way to the Nether Ghost Path, Wei Dongliu’s thoughts quietly churned.
Jiang Lian smiled at him, also silently turning over her own schemes.
After regaining the memories of the Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon, she could now easily suppress Wei Dongliu and tease him to her heart’s content…
But that would be too boring.
If she were to enforce her will and overpower with strength, and her sisters found out, they would likely laugh at her for thousands of years, unable to hold their heads high.
Every Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon was a master at toying with minds.
They could easily discern the flaws in one’s Daoist Heart, and cleverly, secretly dismantle one’s psychological defenses.

Thoroughly conquering Wei Dongliu, rather than crudely surmounting him with brute strength, was befitting of her status.
Of course, the incredibly high difficulty of conquering Wei Dongliu indeed sparked her curiosity.
This husband of hers had unwavering will, was devoid of desires or demands, acted mysteriously, and unpredictable, virtually without any weaknesses.
Jiang the Witch could only confirm up until now that he seemed to wish to become the leader of the Demon Cult…
Yet such a person usually harbors a strong desire for power and control, which she couldn’t sense from Wei Dongliu at all.
On the contrary, she noticed that this husband really disliked practical matters and even frequently wished to slack off – yet this was completely contradictory to a thirst for power.
The witch secretly licked her lips, thinking that she would one day dig out all the secrets in his heart.
That was a basic quality of a Heavenly Demon, and if it had to be said, it could be considered some form of possessiveness, but certainly not because she liked him.
“Speaking of which, it has been quite a while since I’ve seen Wen Yang and the others,” Wei Dongliu reflected.
“When the gap in cultivation realms grows, naturally, there is less and less contact in daily life,” Jiang Lian offhandedly replied.
???G?.??
Wei Dongliu nodded in agreement.
Once Qiu Changtian formed his Golden Core, he seldom interacted with his junior brothers and sisters; when Ling Yunpo formed his Golden Core, Duan Fenhai and Lin Duanshan ceased their visits as well.
After all, cultivators’ social circles are based on similar backgrounds and strengths – they could get along together.
If the gap in realms was too wide, then face-to-face, there would be nothing to talk about, and it would be utterly awkward.
“Mount Beimang is right ahead, my husband,” Jiang Lian suddenly said.
As the couple continued on their way, soon two disciples of the Nether Ghost Path came flying on their swords, saluted in mid-air, and said:
“Are you Sect Leader Wei and Madam Jiang?”
“Indeed,” Jiang Lian said with a smile.
“Our Sect Leader has been waiting for some time.” The two disciples gestured, “Esteemed guests, please follow this way.”
The two Nether Ghost Path disciples guided Wei Dongliu and his wife, leading them to land in a valley, before entering a cave.
After walking dozens of steps, the view opened up suddenly, and they were already in a luxuriously decorated underground palace.
“This Formation is quite interesting,” Jiang Lian suddenly said with a smile, “Shapeshifting, moving mountains and filling seas, yet completed without a trace of sound.
The person behind this really has a profound touch.”
The two Nether Ghost Path disciples looked at each other for a moment, secretly astonished in their hearts.
Most people who came to the Nether Ghost Path’s residence would think that the technique for concealing their sect’s location was an Illusion Technique.
But the lady Sect Leader of the Mortal Life Path declared it a Formation and specifically mentioned the tactics were “Shapeshifting, moving mountains and filling seas.” Could what she said be true?
“To be honest, this Formation is a legacy left by our Founder,” one of the Nether Ghost Path disciples said with a wry smile, “We truly don’t understand it, and it’s embarrassing before such a distinguished guest.”
Hearing his wife speak like this, Wei Dongliu also looked around curiously.
Regrettably, he indeed could not find any traces of the Formation.
It wasn’t because his knowledge of formations was insufficient, but rather because the Cultivation Realm of the one who laid this Formation was far above his, to the point where he couldn’t find any traces of the Formation…
How could one study a program if they can’t even see its code?
However, with the Nether Ghost Path disciples present, it was not convenient for him to directly ask his wife, so he could only silently take note of her words.
As they continued deeper into the Underground Palace, more and more people surrounded them, and they finally reached the main hall.
Here, a banquet had been set up with flowing water and all the guests were gradually arriving and taking their seats.
The Sect Leader of the Nether Ghost Path, who went by the Taoist title “Fu Xie,” was a middle-aged man with a dark and gloomy appearance.
Although it was the first time Wei Dongliu had met him, Ling Yunpo had already seen his face during the Demon Cult’s siege on Shushan, so it couldn’t really be considered a first meeting.
Sect Leader Fu Xie looked over with an indifferent expression, but his eyes held a hidden sharpness as he quietly sized up the two individuals.
He possessed the “Bone Reading Secret Technique,” which allowed him to gauge the strength level of a Cultivator based on slight differences in their external appearance.
Since it wasn’t a scan by Divine Sense, it wouldn’t leave behind traces that could be detected by others.
Sect Leader Fu Xie had been advised by the Honored White Bone regarding this meeting: If Wei Dongliu proved to be strong, then treat him with great courtesy; if his strength was lacking, then give them a cold shoulder as a show of might from the Nether Ghost Path.
Using the Bone Observation Technique, Sect Leader Fu Xie saw that Wei Dongliu had a fully developed brow and a robust vitality.
Although he was at the Golden Core Realm, his Cultivation Level was evidently much superior to his peers, truly fitting for someone valued by the Blood Sea Ancestor.
After all, to be the Sect Leader of the Mortal Life Path at the Golden Core Realm, one would need an extraordinary standard, no?
Then he looked at Jiang Lian, only to see that this person…
Hm, how strange!
She seemed as though she had no bones; yet, she really was boneless.
She seemed to be full of vitality, but in reality, it was all void…
As he was observing, Sect Leader Fu Xie suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his eyes as if they were being pierced with needles.
Not good, this woman must possess a Secret Technique that shields against the Bone Observation Technique, even capable of backlash!
Sect Leader Fu Xie quickly withdrew his Secret Technique, enduring the severe pain in his eyes, and came over as if nothing had happened, warmly saying:
“Sect Leader Wei, it’s truly rare for you to take the time to visit us.”
The surrounding guests quietly ceased their discussions without a sound, silently listening to the exchange between the two, secretly assessing the Nether Ghost Path’s attitude toward the Mortal Life Path.
Seeing the Sect Leader of the Nether Ghost Path treating the Mortal Life Path Sect Leader as an equal, they understood that Wei Dongliu was indeed not an ordinary individual.
In fact, based on past experience, the Nether Ghost Path had always looked down on the Mortal Life Path.
Only three branches of the Intercepting Cult remained, and they couldn’t overpower each other.
When crucial moments arose, they couldn’t even find a person to speak on their behalf.
During significant events, it was always the Nether Ghost and Heavenly Demon Paths that called the shots, and the others simply followed suit-who would respect that?
This Sect Leader Wei had just taken office, first flattening the entirety of Mount Wutai, not even granting favors to the Buddhist Sect from his hand, and then announced the transmission of teachings, energizing a bunch of outer disciples.
With both strength and capability well-prepared, he surely wouldn’t let the Mortal Life Path continue to remain beneath the Nether Ghost Path.
Now that even the Sect Leader of the Nether Ghost Path had to treat him with deference, it was clear that the Mortal Life Path had indeed risen strongly.
In the future, it seems they may stand shoulder to shoulder with the Nether Ghost and Heavenly Demon Paths!
