Chapter 161: The Awesome Qingye Dao Master

  Zhao Duo and Lu Qing couldn't help but have a black line crawling up their foreheads upon hearing the words, they exchanged a glance, seeing the gloominess in each other's eyes, while Xin Lu burst out laughing.

  But in a short while, the three of them seemed like they had known each other for a long time. Zhao Zhuo glared at Xin Lu with his eyes and said: "Xin Lu, someone said that we three are fools, how can you still smile?"

  "He laughed and said: 'What does it matter if others laugh at me? I'll just laugh at them for rushing to their deaths without even realizing it.'"

  Zhao Zhuo heard this and couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment, then burst out laughing: "The world laughs at me for being too crazy, I laugh at them for not seeing through!"

  Lu Qingfeng and Xin Lu's eyes lit up at the same time, and Lu Qingfeng even applauded and exclaimed: "Wonderful, truly wonderful! The world laughs at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at them for not seeing through. With one sentence, I reveal the heavenly mechanism. How can these people see through the danger behind the treasure like us?"

  He shook his head, watching the cultivators fly by from beside him, and said with some regret: "These cultivators are also blinded by their desires for a moment, but why do they have to risk their own lives for this? A lifetime of bitter cultivation is all in vain, what a pity!"

  Lu Qingfeng said, "Fellow Taoist, don't feel sorry for these people. There are many cultivators in this world, and losing a few of them doesn't amount to much. If they can't even overcome the greed in their hearts, then even if they manage to survive this disaster, there will be many more trials ahead on the path of cultivation, and eventually, their day of reckoning will come."

  Zhao Duo suddenly woke up as if he had been doused with cold water, although he didn't say anything out loud, but in his heart, he still felt a little guilty for not being able to save these doomed people. At this moment, when Lu Qingfeng spoke, Zhao Duo suddenly understood that even if he were to rescue these people out of kindness, if he couldn't get rid of the greed in his heart, one day it would lead him to his death. To let his own mind be clouded for the sake of these people was simply not worth it.

  Seeing Zhao Zhuo's body, the aura underwent a huge change. Whether it was Lu Qingfeng or Xin Lu, their eyes lit up at once. The advantage of being born into a famous family is that they know many secrets. The two people's qualifications can be said to be one in ten million, otherwise they would not have been valued by the Eight Great Ancient Sects and accepted as disciples.

  But even with their extraordinary talent, they could only raise their cultivation to the realm of half a step into the Dao King period within a hundred years. However, Zhao Zhuang is now only in his thirties, yet his cultivation is actually many times stronger than theirs back then. Isn't that saying that Zhao Zhuang's talent is even more against the heavens?

  If that's all, it would be fine. But Zhao Zhuo is just a loose cultivator with no foundation at all. What is a loose cultivator? A loose cultivator refers to someone who has nothing: no superior cultivation method, no foundation, and no resources. Without a good cultivation method, even a genius will slowly become mediocre. Without a foundation or resources, the speed of cultivation will be slowed down.

  But Zhao Zhuo was unexpectedly beyond expectations, a cultivator of the Return to One period in his thirties. Even among the top eight sects, there were not many who could raise their cultivation to the Return to One period before the age of 100. In the Eight Great Sects, those who could break through to the Dao Jun period within 100 years were considered geniuses, and every one of them was a pillar-like existence in their respective sects.

  It was Zhao Zhuo who broke their understanding of loose cultivators, young and with a cultivation that was unusually high, and his insights often had unexpected places to go, and even more so, words that made people think deeply came out of his mouth, making both of them suspect that Zhao Zhuo might be the disciple of some ancient powerful being who had gone into hiding.

  Whether it was Lu Qingfeng or Xin Luan, they were both sons of heaven, and even among their peers in the sect, they were top-notch existences. In such an ancient sect, the moral character of the disciples under its gate would absolutely not be as despicable as written in many stories. If that were really the case, then the sect wouldn't have been able to pass down for eternity without being destroyed.

  Lu Qingfeng and Xin Lu are not looking down on scattered cultivators, but rather have had high standards since they were young, and very few people can enter their eyes. As a result, the feeling given to others is that it's hard to get close to them, but this doesn't mean that the other party is aloof or holds themselves in high esteem.

  Zhao Zhuo was just a loose cultivator, and if there wasn't anything outstanding about him, the two of them would naturally not despise Zhao Zhuo, but they also wouldn't deliberately get close to him so obviously.

  After all, it was Zhao Zhuo's own excellence that entered their eyes. In the eyes of the two, Zhao Zhuo could completely be mentioned together with them and could be regarded as a fellow practitioner on the path of cultivation.

  Fellow Taoist, fellow Taoist is not just a simple title. In ancient times, true fellow Taoists were bosom friends who could entrust each other with life and death. To call someone "fellow Taoist" was to acknowledge a deep bond.

  Unfortunately, up to now, the profound meaning of Taoist friends has been forgotten by many practitioners and has become a meaningless title.

  Zhao Duo didn't know this, but Xin Lu and Lu Qingfeng were from the oldest sects, and people who could make them call out "Daoist friend" from the heart were extremely rare.

  The sudden change in Zhao Duo's body naturally made Xin Lu and Lu Qingfeng exclaim, secretly shocked by Zhao Duo's insight. With the two people's eyesight and cultivation, they could naturally see the knot in Zhao Duo's heart.

  However, neither of them expected that just a few words would make Zhao Zhuo have an epiphany and even resolve the knot in his heart. If it were them, they wouldn't have had such confidence.

  The two exchanged a glance, and could only marvel in their hearts at the ancient, vast, and desolate aura emanating from Zhao Zhuo, which was something that only the operation of an extremely powerful primordial cultivation method could emit, and only cultivators who cultivated primordial methods could sense.

  The two originally saw Zhao Zhuo's qualifications and then secretly tested his moral character. If possible, the two even made up their minds to bring Zhao Zhuo into the Eight Great Dao Sects. However, after feeling the ancient aura emanating from Zhao Zhuo, the two dispelled the idea in their hearts.

  Since Zhao Zhuo can cultivate ancient techniques, it also means that Zhao Zhuo is not like ordinary cultivators who have no heritage. The technique of cultivating heritage from the ancient times, where cause and effect are entangled. If the person who left behind the technique has fallen, then so be it. But if that person is still alive, then Zhao Zhuo has formed a causal relationship with him. It's not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Zhuo is his successor. Even among the eight major sects of Taoism, there are those who are not without worries. At least among the many old monsters left behind by the ancient times, there are quite a few who would make their ancestors' heads ache if they saw them.

  Zhao Zhuo's heart knot was untied, and he only felt a refreshing clarity. If it weren't for his insufficient foundation, perhaps he could take advantage of this epiphany to push his cultivation to the realm of Unity Period Great Perfection in one go.

  Stretching his waist, Zhao Zhuo stared at Lu Qingfeng with a strange light in his eyes and said: "Just now, thanks to the friend's words, Zhao Zhuo opened up his heart knot, I came here to thank you"

  Lu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "You don't have to thank me. If it weren't for your astonishing wit, even if I explained it to you a hundred times, you wouldn't be able to understand it. But Lu is being presumptuous, wanting to ask which senior's legacy did fellow daoist obtain?"

  Zhao Duan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lu Qingfeng and Xin Lu again, thinking to himself that it was indeed the case that they were disciples of the Eight Great Ancient Sects, and unexpectedly, they could infer from their own cultivation that he had obtained the inheritance of the ancient times.

  If it were someone else, Zhao Zhuo would have hesitated, after all, if people knew that he had obtained the ancient inheritance, he didn't know how many prying eyes would be attracted, but for Lu Qingfeng and Xin Luo, it was completely different.

  To know that the two of them inherited from the eight great Dao masters of ancient times, how many other inheritances in the world can compare to this, and I believe they won't be envious of themselves.

  Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhuo said: "The two of you are indeed extraordinary. I have seen many cultivations, but only the two of you discovered that I obtained the ancient inheritance. To be honest with you, I am the one who obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Azure Leaf Dao Master by the sea, which is why I have my current cultivation."

  "Master Qingye!"

  Lu Qingfeng and Xin Lu were stunned upon hearing this, their faces revealing a shocked expression. Their eyes turned strange as they looked at Zhao Suo, and an envious gaze emerged from within.

  Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel puzzled, no way, what he had obtained was just the legacy of a Dao master, no matter how awesome it was, it couldn't compare to the great Dao masters behind the two people, so why did they show such an envious expression?

  Deeply puzzled in his heart, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but ask Lu Qingfeng: "Lu Daoist friend, what is the meaning of this..."

  Coming back to her senses, she thought of her previous loss of composure and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. Even Xin Lu, who was veiled, felt a flush rise to her cheeks.

  Taking a deep breath, Lu Qingfeng smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Taoist, isn't it strange that we were both so shocked and lost our composure just now?"

  He nodded slightly and Zhao Zhuo smiled: "That's right"

  Lu Qingfeng said, "Our eight major sects inherited from the eight great Dao masters. The profundity of their techniques is self-evident, but in ancient times, numerous talents emerged, and countless powerful individuals shone with their own unique brilliance, leaving behind techniques that were no weaker than those passed down by the eight great Dao masters."

  Zhao Duo's eyes lit up as he heard this and said: "Oh, so that means the legacy of the Qingye Dao Master I received is quite powerful?"

  Lu Qingfeng sneered, "Not only is it powerful, in the ancient era, who doesn't know that 'one flower, one green lotus realm' and 'one leaf, one world' refer to two powerful individuals? The 'one flower' refers to my sect's ancestor, the Green Lotus Great Dao Master, while the 'one leaf' refers to the Green Leaf Dao Master. That the Green Leaf Dao Master can be mentioned in the same breath as my sect's ancestor is a testament to its extraordinary heritage, I'm sure you can appreciate that."

  Zhao Huo had a dreamlike feeling, he hadn't expected the origin of Qingye Daozhu to be so grand. But now thinking about it, the inheritance in the Qingye Secret Record, countless alchemy formulas, countless powerful techniques, countless secrets, if it were an ordinary Dao master, how could they possibly leave behind such a record?

  After a long time, Zhao Zhuo took a deep breath and said: "One flower one green lotus, one leaf one world. Among them, one flower and one green lotus refer to the master of Qinglian Avenue, while one leaf and one world I know refer to the master of Qingye Avenue. What does this 'one world' mean?"

  Flowers hit flowers
