"Negotiating with the Heavenly Dao...?" Lu Xun pondered his mentor's words, dumbstruck.
Just as his mentor had said earlier, Heavenly Dao is an unparalleled existence, a type of rule. It neither has mercy nor does it favor anyone, treating all beings equally. Therefore, it naturally wouldn't take reason into account.
Consequently, the 'negotiation' his mentor mentioned mustn't involve persuading the Heavenly Dao through speech, it must resemble the regular 'negotiations' he conducts on a daily basis!
"Master, what... what happened next?" Lu Xun stuttered just like his second senior sister once did.
"And then I became a cripple." The mentor laughed indifferently, seemingly not considering it as a big deal.
Lu Xun then recalled that his mentor lost his cultivation base due to certain reasons after the ancient cataclysm and only then began to cultivate anew, practicing the Qi Consumption Technique and the Nameless Five Elements Cultivation Method.
