Chapter 463: 463, [Tool Man · Junior Priest]
“Is [Primordial Power] really that advanced?” Lu Xun already held it in high regard, but its level had far exceeded his expectations.

“You might not believe me when I say this, but I have always used this mighty and profound[Primordial Power]simply as a radar.” Lu Xun murmured in his heart.

Due to the[Faction]issue, he couldn’t use most of the power of the[Primordial Power], so he resorted to using it as a radar and a universal key, to discover nearby members of the Foreign Race, and to open the gate to the Foreign Race Altars, welcoming his entrance.

Unless he betrayed Heavenly Dust and joined the Foreign Race’s[Faction], most of the [Primordial Power] would remain locked.

Meanwhile, the words of the Junior Priest shattered Lu Xun’s perceived notions.

Based on his understanding of the Heavenly Dao, the so-called power of the Heavenly Path was an elusive existence.

The concept existed, but no one could control it.

He had heard terms related to Heavenly Dao before, like during the massive advent of sand sculpture players, when an omen appeared in the sky, creating a massive hole in the sky.

Everyone could see this hole, but one could only glimpse it rather than look directly at it.

This omen was then called[Heavenly Dao Collapse].

It was the gentleman who first mentioned this term…

He looked at the Junior Priest and asked, “Are you saying that you view me as a kindred spirit because you too carry the[Primordial Power]?”

The Junior Priest shook his head, saying, “You might not want to believe it, but in reality, within me, I have the Power of Heavenly Path from the Heavenly Dust Continent.”

“What!?” Lu Xun couldn’t help but stand up and exclaim.

…

…

Within the Junior Priest of the Foreign Race, Lu Xun could not sense any Cultivation Base.

“The gentleman left him for me to interrogate without giving me any warnings; perhaps he wasn’t concerned about my safety at all, knowing that the Junior Priest couldn’t harm me.”

“Yet it is indeed this person, without any Cultivation Base within his body, who is skilled in divination and informs me that he has the Heavenly Dao power of the Heavenly Dust Continent!”

Lu Xun began to wonder, was he so skilled in divination because he was a swindler by profession?

— Well, little brother, you’re fucking tricking me, aren’t you?

The clear eyes of this old young man seemed sincere, Lu Xun wondered whether it was a match for his own acting skills, or if he was indeed telling the truth.

Lu Xun looked at him and asked, “Why do you have the Power of Heavenly Path?”

“It’s a gift from my god.” The Junior Priest answered immediately.

“Why would your Foreign Race god bestow you with the Heavenly Dao power of Heavenly Dust?” Lu Xun continued to ask.

“I don’t know.” The Junior Priest replied instantly, and the answer made Lu Xun grind his teeth.

“What is the use of the Power of Heavenly Path?” Lu Xun asked again.

“Although my body belongs to a person from Heavenly Dust, I’m not exactly a Heavenly Dust person. Therefore, the abilities I can use with this power are limited, such as divination, Divine Sense, and… opening the[Path]to Heavenly Dust.” The Junior Priest replied.

Hearing these words, Lu Xun was deeply shocked!

He had been wondering if there were no remnants of the Foreign Race left on the Heavenly Dust Continent after the Ancient Catastrophe, then how did those who quietly descended onto the Heavenly Dust Continent, built new altars, and repaired the Ancient Altar come?

Even before the large-scale arrival of the Foreign Race, there were quite a few of them on the Heavenly Dust Continent.

If no one summoned the Foreign Race using the altar on this side, the Foreign Race simply couldn’t come!

The words of the Junior Priest undoubtedly provided Lu Xun with the answer.

He had the[Power of Heavenly Path], and it was he who brought the first batch of Foreign Race to descend onto the Heavenly Dust Continent.

No altar is needed!

—— The Junior Priest is a key that opens the gate to Heavenly Dust!

At this moment, Lu Xun was sure that there was no Blood Covenant on the Junior Priest.

If there was, he would have been drained of his blood and died after revealing this information.

At the same time, Lu Xun also roughly understood the basic functions of[Primordial Power]and[Power of Heavenly Path].

They serve as keys.

In the world of the Foreign Race, you can open the door to the Heavenly Dust Continent with the[Power of Heavenly Path].

Similarly, in the Heavenly Dust Continent, you can open the door to the Foreign Race Continent with[Primordial Power].

Each altar possesses[Primordial Power], and the Foreign Race might use some special methods to achieve the effect of descending.

Of course, to simplify it, you can consider that there is a lock between the two worlds. If you are in the Heavenly Dust Continent and want to unlock it, you need to use[Primordial Power]. If you are in the Foreign Race world and want to unlock it, you’ll need the Power of Heavenly Path.

No matter which mode you choose to unlock it, once the lock is opened, the descent can be initiated.

Lu Xun believed his speculation was solid.

It was only after understanding these aspects that he realized why the Junior Priest looked at him with a sense of shared misery, and why he said that they were of the same kind.

Although in his view, he and the Junior Priest were essentially different.

Put it simply, this younger brother was a tool created by the god of the Foreign Race.

It was obvious, he was just a high-level tool. He was created to serve as a tool.

But Lu Xun was different; everything that had happened to him was coincidental.

Ultimately, it was due to his having the game system.

“According to the Junior Priest’s thinking, perhaps he believes… I am a tool created by the gentleman?” Lu Xun thought.

But I’m not a tool, I’m the Gentlemen’s beloved student~

-“We are different!”

Although that was what Lu Xun thought inside, his face portrayed complicated emotions with a slight loss of control.

His micro-expressions were pushed to the extreme, and his eyes were full of drama.

“So that’s how it is.” he murmured softly, his voice trembling slightly due to the suppressed emotions within him.

The Junior Priest stared at him, waited for a good while, then finally said, “You’re quite an interesting person.”

Alright, this little brother wasn’t fooled by my superb acting skills after all.

Lu Xun immediately presented a display of changing faces for him, and the micro-expressions on his face disappeared instantly, turning from that to being indifferent and calm.

Yet the Junior Priest didn’t mind, on the contrary, he found Lu Xun more intriguing. He burst into laughter, and due to laughing too hard he almost choked himself to death.

“Do you have anything else you want to say?” Lu Xun spoke with indifference.

“Just these for now. If I have something more to say, I will let you know,” the Junior Priest replied with a smile.

“You will be dead by tomorrow.” Lu Xun struck a chord, reminding him.

“Well, that’s for tomorrow.” There was no fear of death in the Junior Priest’s eyes or face.

On the contrary, he seemed quite pleased with the fact that he still had a day to live.

He was someone that could face death calmly.

——A strange person.

Lu Xun stood up, prepared to report everything that the Junior Priest had told him to the gentleman.

He walked out of the cave, thought for a moment, and finally decided to set a restriction outside the cave, trapping the Junior Priest here.

Honestly, he wasn’t worried that the Junior Priest would run away. This was the back mountain of the Demon Sect, where could he run?

His restriction on the Junior Priest was due to the latter’s extreme physical weakness. He was truly worried that he might wander around, accidentally trip and fall, and end up killing himself…

After Lu Xun left the cave, the Junior Priest, who had been sitting on the ground, slowly got up. With small, shuffling steps, he slowly made his way to the restriction.

He looked up and peered outside, craning his neck to take in all the sights that he could see from here.

“It’s so beautiful ~” Light radiated from the clear eyes of the Junior Priest.

His voice was old, but his tone was young.
