Chapter 257: Geniuses Emerge Frequently, People with Great Luck

“What’s the decision?” Lu Qing asked curiously.

The old doctor also looked attentively.

“The three Holy Lords have the world at heart. To prevent sects without ancient cultivation methods from provoking disputes and plunging Zhongzhou into war,

they ultimately decided that the Holy Mountain would offer three ancient cultivation methods for practitioners to comprehend,”

Xuanjizi explained.

“How could the Holy Mountain be so bold?”

Lu Qing was astonished.

This answer was truly unexpected.

But after some thought, he felt that it was a good idea.

At least it could help to reduce the tensions between the sects in Zhongzhou.

However, this method wasn’t suitable for everyone.

Everyone has selfish desires, and it takes considerable courage to share one’s powerful cultivation methods with the public.

“Indeed, the three Holy Lords are magnanimous and broad-minded. They are truly role models for practitioners like us,” Xuanjizi said with reverence.

At this point, Lu Qing finally understood why the outside states had begun to riot, while Zhongzhou remained completely inactive.

It turned out that the major sects were all preoccupied with their own interests.

Presumably, the Xiantian Realm masters within those sects were now absorbed in comprehending the ancient cultivation methods that could refine spiritual energy, leaving them with no time to meddle in the affairs of other states.

This, of course, gave Lu Qing some peace of mind.

Since Zhongzhou hadn’t truly erupted in chaos, they could still enter.

“Young Master Lu, Doctor Chen, what brings you to Zhongzhou?” Xuanjizi asked.

“I’m not afraid of being laughed at, but Master Zhirui once said that after our master broke through to the Xiantian Realm, if he was willing to abide by the Holy Mountain’s prohibitions, he would be granted the opportunity to travel to the Holy Mountain for enlightenment.

I wonder if this promise still stands?”

Lu Qing worried, wondering if the promised opportunity still held true after all the changes Zhongzhou had undergone.

“So it’s about this.” Xuanjizi smiled upon hearing this. “Young Master Lu, there’s no need to worry. The Holy Mountain is still under the control of the three Holy Lords, so the promise is still valid.

Speaking of which, a newly promoted Xiantian Realm cultivator went to the Holy Mountain for meditation not long ago. If Doctor Chen goes, it’s naturally no problem.”

“Then we’re reassured,” Lu Qing said with a slight sigh of relief.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Lu Qing took the opportunity to gather a lot of information about the current situation in Zhongzhou.

Satisfied, he was about to say goodbye to his master when something suddenly occurred to him.

“By the way, Senior Xuanjizi, I have something else I’d like to ask you.”

“Feel free to ask.”

Xuanjizi chatted with Lu Qing for a while, and he began to like him.

The young man was well-spoken and knowledgeable, especially his insights into martial arts, which he found quite beneficial.

“When we entered the city today, we saw the three characters [Qinglong City] engraved on the city gate. They seemed to hold a mystery

. However, one of the guards at the city gate warned us not to easily comprehend the meaning behind the characters.

The guard’s expression seemed genuine and sincere.

I wonder if Senior Xuanjizi knows why?”

“The guard at the city gate?” Xuanjizi pondered for a moment, his expression suddenly changing. “The guard who gave you the advice was a young man?”

“Yes, that young man had a fair complexion and an extraordinary bearing. He didn’t look like an ordinary guard,” Lu Qing said.

“That should be correct. The one giving you the advice should be the third son of the Ji family in Qinglong City.

As for why he warned you, the reasons are quite complicated.”

“Oh? I’d like to hear the details.”

“With your martial arts attainments, you must have noticed that the words engraved on the city gate contain a special artistic conception that can shake people’s hearts.

To be honest, those words were personally engraved by a peerless master who was famous in Zhongzhou over a hundred years ago, before his death.

That peerless master was a remarkable man who lived a carefree life, without a wife, children, or heirs.

Over a hundred years ago, knowing that his death was approaching, he wanted to leave Zhongzhou and travel around.

At that time, he was leaving Qinglong City, and before leaving, he suddenly had the urge to leave. At that time, he carved three large characters on the city gate.

Then he left and disappeared, and never returned to Zhongzhou.

Some people say that he died in a foreign land while traveling.

Others say that while traveling, he understood the mystery of life and death, stepped into another supreme and mysterious realm, and passed away.

In short, there are many different opinions, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. Even we in Tianji Tower don’t know where the senior went, or whether he is alive or dead. “

After Xuanjizi’s explanation, Lu Qing finally understood the origin of the three inscriptions.

But he still had a question: “But what does this have to do with the advice given to us by the third son of the Ji family?”

“When that peerless expert left Zhongzhou and disappeared, there were different stories about his life and death.

Similarly, the inscription he left on Qinglong City also attracted the attention of countless warriors.

Everyone said that the inscription contained the inherited skills left by the peerless expert.

Anyone who could comprehend the mystery within could obtain the peerless expert’s lifelong inheritance and soar to the sky. When

this rumor came out, it immediately caused a sensation among countless warriors around the world.

During that time, countless warriors from across the land gathered outside Qinglong City daily to comprehend the inscriptions, hoping to gain unparalleled inheritance from them.

Even Xiantian Realm masters from the major sects of Zhongzhou were drawn to the news and flocked to observe.

After all, that peerless master was immensely renowned throughout Zhongzhou.

His immense power was so immense that, aside from the three Saint Masters, he was virtually unrivaled.

Naturally, everyone was interested in the inheritance he might have left behind.

Ultimately, after countless masters’ contemplation, they concluded that

the inscriptions indeed contained the martial will of that peerless master, but that will was not accessible to everyone.

Only those whose martial philosophies and path were perfectly aligned with that of the peerless master could comprehend even a fraction of it.

Otherwise, even a Xiantian Realm master who forced himself to comprehend would risk being distracted by his will, damaging their martial foundation.

Initially, when the Xiantian Realm masters announced this, many warriors refused to believe it and continued to flock to comprehend the inscriptions.

Later, as time passed, countless warriors attempted to comprehend the inscriptions, but none were able to grasp the profound meaning and obtain the complete inheritance.

On the contrary, many talented warriors, forced to comprehend, became distracted by the inscriptions’ implications, ultimately damaging their foundations and becoming unable to recover.

Only then did everyone realize that what the Xiantian Realm masters had said was true, not empty talk.

After recognizing this fact, the number of people coming to Qinglong City to comprehend the inscriptions gradually dwindled.

In the end, people even started to spread rumors that there was no inheritance in the inscription at all.

Everything was just a joke played by that peerless master on the world.

So gradually, after a few decades, the inscription became almost ignored.

Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and although there are still occasional self-proclaimed warriors who come to comprehend the inscription and want to understand the mysteries within,

they are still very few after all. It is rare to see one in a year.”

Such an exaggeration.

After listening to Xuanjizi’s story, Lu Qing finally understood why he was called the Martial Saint.

Presumably, his martial arts skills had truly reached the realm of transcendence.

“No wonder the third son of the Ji family would specifically remind me that the inscription has such a history.”

“That’s right, but the reason why the third son of the Ji family reminded you is probably related to his eldest brother, the eldest son of the Ji family.” Xuanjizi said.

“Oh, what’s the reason?” “Lu Qing asked.

“The eldest son of the Ji family is also a martial arts genius with excellent talent. When he was only twenty years old, he had already entered the Inner Viscera Realm.

This kind of talent is considered to be the best in the entire Zhongzhou.

The Ji family also has high hopes for him and has invested all kinds of resources in him, hoping that the family will have another Innate Realm powerhouse in the future to consolidate the family’s status.

Originally, if things continued like this, the martial arts path of the eldest son of the Ji family would be very smooth and bright.

Even if he cannot enter the Innate Realm in the future, he will definitely be a martial arts master with extraordinary strength.

However, just a few years ago, for some unknown reason, the eldest son of the Ji family suddenly ran to the city gate and comprehended the inscriptions there.

He was distracted by the martial arts implications of the inscriptions, and not only his cultivation that had reached the Inner Viscera Realm was almost completely ruined.

Even his own mind became crazy. Every day he would just stare at the sky stupidly, without saying a word, and ignoring everyone.

This incident not only shocked the Ji family, but also made the head of the Ji family extremely angry.

In a fit of rage, he directly expelled the eldest son of the Ji family, who had given up on himself and whose cultivation was almost wasted, and was also his eldest son, from the family. No one could persuade him

, but it was useless. As for the third son of the Ji family, it is said that he has admired his eldest brother since he was a child. After learning about this, he was shocked.

He was traveling in Zhongzhou, and after hearing about this, he rushed back without sleep for several days.

But the eldest son of the Ji family disappeared after being expelled from the family, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

The third son of the Ji family had a big fight with his father because of this matter, and now the two father and son have not reconciled yet. “

When Lu Qing heard this, he thought that the intelligence of Tianji Tower was indeed unique, and even these details were clear.

But he was still a little curious: “Didn’t the third son of the Ji family go out to look for his eldest brother? “

Of course he did. He went out to look for her for two years, but the world is so big that it is not easy to find someone. In the end, he searched the whole world but couldn’t find her. After returning to Qinglong City, he was disheartened and took a job in the City Lord’s Mansion, just muddling through his days.” Xuanjizi said.   ”

I see.” Lu Qing suddenly understood.   However, he didn’t quite agree with Xuanjizi’s last words.   Just muddling through?   Not really.   Lu Qing thought of the information he had found out about the third son of the Ji family before, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.   Of course, these things had nothing to do with him, so he didn’t intend to care.   ”I didn’t expect that the third son of the Ji family was so kind. It seems that this junior must find an opportunity to thank him properly.”   Lu Qing said: “By the way, Senior Xuanjizi, my master and I have disturbed you long enough today. We have other people on this trip with us. In order to avoid worrying them, we will not bother you any more.”   ”Are you two leaving now? ”   Xuanjizi was slightly startled. After trying to persuade them to stay, he saw that Lu Qing and the others were indeed preparing to go back, so he stood up to see them off.   After Lu Qing and the other two disappeared, the middle-aged man with the abacus quietly appeared behind them.   ”Elder, are these two the ones that Zhirui Zhenchuan specifically told me to pay close attention to two years ago?”   ”Yes, I thought they would come here last year, but I didn’t expect it to be delayed until now.”   ”But I see that they both look ordinary, and don’t seem to be as mysterious as Zhirui Zhenchuan said.   And the relationship between them as master and disciple is a bit strange, and it seems to be centered on that young master Lu.”   The middle-aged man expressed his doubts.   ”Ordinary?” Xuanjizi shook his head, his eyes puzzled. “These two are truly unfathomable. Let alone you, even I may not be their opponent if I fight. ”   ”Elder, how could it be…”   The middle-aged man was shocked.   He knew the cultivation level of his elders and what realm they had reached.   In addition to the various mysterious secrets of their Tianji Tower, it can be said that although the elders are not well-known, they are not weaker than the supreme elders of those big sects.   But now he actually said that he is not a match for Lu Qing and the others?   As a middle-level figure in Tianji Tower, the middle-aged man has a lot of information, including that of Lu Qing and his apprentice.   He really couldn’t believe that an old man who had just entered the Xiantian realm two years ago, and his disciples, could make the elders so afraid.   ”Nothing is impossible.” Xuanjizi sighed, “Now that the world is changing and the spiritual energy is reviving, it is destined that many incredible geniuses will emerge.   Not long ago, there was news from the main building that a disciple of the Tianling Sect comprehended the peerless swordsmanship in the sect competition and swept the entire field.   Later, he challenged the Xiantian elders with the perfection of the inner viscera realm and won narrowly in the end.

Then there’s the Xingkui Sect, where an inner sect disciple, originally of mediocre talent, somehow found himself entering the Dao overnight. From the initial stage of the Inner Viscera realm, he broke through several barriers and ultimately achieved the Xiantian realm, shocking the entire sect.

Such a monstrous genius, a truly astonishing talent, used to appear only once every few decades, even centuries.

Now, their frequent appearances suggest that with the changing world, these peerless geniuses born from destiny will only increase in number.

Who can guarantee that this young Master Lu isn’t one of them? “

No, perhaps it should be said that he is one of them!”

Xuanjizi thought to himself, thinking back to what his nephew Zhirui had once said to him.

However, he had not expected that Zhirui’s nephew had said that the young master Lu was very likely a person of great fortune, difficult to see through.

But when he saw him today, he found that his master was equally elusive and mysterious.

Could it be that this kind of destiny is not only seen by the younger generation?

Could it be that old men like them could also be favored by the heavens?

A strange thought suddenly arose in Xuanjizi’s mind.
