Chapter 162: Frightening Depth

  Lu Qingfeng's eyes revealed a look of infinite admiration, and the expression was so intense that it almost made Zhao Suo think he had seen a die-hard fan of some heavenly king superstar. Lu Qingfeng continued to speak with boundless reverence: "The phrase 'one leaf, one world' refers to the ultimate sign of the path cultivated by the master of the Green Leaf Dao. Whether it was our sect's ancestors or other great masters of the Dao, they all achieved enlightenment after opening up a new heaven and earth in the midst of chaos. However, the master of the Green Leaf Dao took a different approach, unlike ordinary people. He actually wanted to open up a new heaven and earth within his own body. If he were to achieve ultimate success, his accomplishments would not be inferior to those of the great masters of the Dao, and might even surpass them by a few degrees. According to our ancestors, if the master of the Green Leaf Dao had followed their path, he would have likely achieved the position of a great master of the Dao long ago. But instead, he chose the path of opening up heaven and earth within his own body."

  Zhao Duo's eyes shone brightly, like Lu Qingfeng, his heart was filled with admiration and worship for the master of Qingye Dao, who was different from the ordinary, didn't follow the common path, giving people a feeling of being awake while others were drunk.

  If it can be said that the paths walked by other Dao Masters are borrowed from external objects, then the path walked by Qing Ye Dao Master is to tap into one's own potential, and even dares to open up a world within one's own body, what a shocking idea.

  If it is said that Qingye Daozhu can really succeed, then Qingye Daozhu will open up a source of inspiration, and his achievements and status will be absolutely above those of several other Daozhuz.

  Taking a deep breath and suppressing the shock in his heart, Zhao Zhuo asked tremulously: "Brother, do you know where Qingye Daozhu is currently hiding to cultivate?"

  A bitter smile appeared on his face, and Lu Qingfeng shook his head: "Don't mention us, even the ancestors of our sect couldn't find out where Qingye Daozhu was thousands of millions of years ago. Either Qingye Daozhu has transcended this world, or Qingye Daozhu's Taoism has made great progress and finally achieved the Tao, or he is dead and his Tao is gone. Unless it's one of these three possibilities, no one in this world can hide from the investigation of the Great Dao Master."

  Nodding his head, Zhao Zhuo said: "I hope Qing Ye can attain the Tao"

  Xin Lu Dao said: "If the master of Qing Ye Dao really attained the Tao, then fellow practitioners would have walked into a great fortune, and in this world, I don't know how many cultivators will be envious."

  Zhao Duo was taken aback and said with a puzzled expression: "What's so enviable about that? Besides, what does Qingye Daozhu's attainment have to do with me?"

  Lu Qingfeng directly curled his lip and said, "Fellow Daoist is really interesting. To know that the Green Leaf Dao Master has left behind a legacy, and you have obtained the Dao Master's legacy, it means that you are the chosen one of the Green Leaf Dao Master's legacy. If the Green Leaf Dao Master were to die and his dao disappear, then it would be fine. But what if he achieved great dao? Then you would be his successor. In this way, not only would you be the sole successor of the Green Leaf Dao Master, but you would also occupy the Green Leaf Dao Master's destiny. With the protection of a Great Dao Master's destiny, wouldn't that make your heart's desires come true? Even if you were to go against heaven and defy the natural order, Heaven might not necessarily strike you dead with lightning. Your background is simply too impressive."

  Zhao Duo's mouth was agape, he really hadn't realized these things, if it were truly like Lu Qingfeng and Xin Lu said, then his status would be too noble, as the only successor of a great Dao master, occupying such a large share of luck, perhaps even heaven and earth wouldn't allow him to fall.

  Suddenly, Zhao Zhuo somewhat understood why his luck had become so strong. If it was just because he possessed the Dao rhyme treasure, the Yin-Yang wheel turning great millstone, then the treasure could only suppress his aura and not gather it. Moreover, if he didn't have a vast amount of aura himself, he probably wouldn't be able to keep the Dao rhyme treasure safe either.

  I'm just an ordinary person, and the one I'm attached to is also just an ordinary person. But why do we have such a strong aura? Now that I think about it, everything seems to make sense. Maybe I don't have that much aura myself, but if I were the only disciple of a great Dao master, then my own aura might be comparable to that of some heaven-ordained children.

  He let out a deep breath and Zhao Zhuo muttered: "I understand"

  Although they secretly admired Zhao Zhu's good fortune, Lu Qingfeng and Xin Luo were not ordinary people after all. They quickly adjusted their mood, and Lu Qingfeng even smiled and said: "It seems that in the future, we should get closer to our Taoist friends, even if it means taking some of their luck."

  Zhao Duo rolled his eyes and said, "Having a smooth journey just means that when you follow the trend, things will go smoothly for you. It's not like you can have everything your way. Just like now, if I dared to snatch the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel, I'm afraid I'd end up dead without even leaving behind any ashes."

  Xin Lu smiled lightly and said, "You're able to remain so calm and not be infatuated, that's reassuring. Just now, I and Lu Qingfeng were worried you'd become enchanted and try to seize the spiritual treasure."

  Zhao Duo smiled and said: "I don't have such a big nerve, let's just watch the excitement on the side"

  Just as they were speaking, a sound like heavenly music suddenly came from the edge of the sky, and countless golden lotus flowers burst forth from the ground. The air was filled with falling petals, and such an extraordinary phenomenon would make even a fool realize that the Heavenly Punishment Wheel was about to appear in the world.

  The surrounding heaven and earth suddenly turned pitch black, only the place where the Heavenly Punishment Wheel was located shone brightly. A square, ancient and mysterious wheel slowly floated in mid-air, with pale purple lightning flashing on its surface from time to time. The lightning wandered around the wheel, emitting an extremely ominous aura that spread out from the Heavenly Punishment Wheel.

  Many cultivators felt the aura and couldn't help but shiver, while Zhao Zhuo and Lu Qingfeng, Xin Luo's eyes widened as they stared at the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel.

  Zhao Duo exclaimed: "Indeed, it's a great treasure, worthy of being a top-notch innate spiritual treasure. Just look at the commotion it's causing as it emerges - the heavens are in an uproar and the earth is overflowing with golden lotus flowers, the heavens and earth are rejoicing for it. The only question is how many people will lose their lives over it from now on."

  "Look quickly, Qing Luan San Ren, Wu Hui Mo Jun, Bai Fa Lao Zu, Chi Mei San Ren... why are there so many hermits and cultivators appearing?"

  Lu Qingfeng swept his gaze and said, "Good heavens, this has only just begun, yet over a hundred Dao Realm cultivators have already appeared. No wonder Master didn't let me join in the commotion."

  Xin Lu smiled lightly and said, "This is not surprising. You haven't seen that these Dao Jun mostly appear only once every several tens of thousands of years, and even the Dao Zun hasn't appeared. Obviously, the tribulations caused by the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel's three cycles have made those cultivators wary of it to a certain extent. Otherwise, what would be the point of having a few strong Dao Jun?"

  Lu Qingfeng nodded and said: "That's right, Master has said that the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel is a spiritual thing. Unless it acknowledges you, taking it by force is useless."

  "After hearing both of them, Zhao Zhuo exclaimed on the side: "My god, you Daojun Qi repairers aren't surprised at all by so many emotions""

  Lu Qingfeng and Xin Lu couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, and Lu Qingfeng said: "If Zhao Daoyou knew the true strength of the Eight Great Dao Sects, he wouldn't be so sentimental. Let alone the Eight Great Dao Sects, even many ancient sects can easily produce hundreds or thousands of Daojun-level strong practitioners. Otherwise, a single ancient sect's power would be enough to wipe out all the cultivators gathered here."

  Zhao Duo was thoroughly speechless, this is what it means to have a deep foundation. What is meant by "a big family and a big business", what is meant by "endless depth". In comparison, a sect like Chong Xiao Zong can still pretend to be the leader in front of some inferior sects, but compared to these truly ancient sects, it's really nothing at all.

  A familiar figure appeared in Zhao Zhuo's eyes, and Zhao Zhuo was taken aback at first, then exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, it's actually Cai Chongxiao. How did he end up here? Could it be that Feng Yi has already been killed by him?"

  After hearing Zhao Zhuo's whisper, Lu Qingfeng asked in confusion: "What is Cai Chongxiao?"

  Zhao Duo smiled slightly, pointing at Cai Chongxiang's figure and said: "See that? It's him. He and I have a deep grudge. The sect he passed down was completely destroyed by me. If he sees me, he'll definitely flay me alive."

  Lu Qingfeng and Xin Lu's foreheads were covered in black lines upon hearing this. This guy had actually cut off someone else's inheritance, anyone would have skinned and deboned him. However, the two also felt sorry for Cai Chongxiang. What kind of person did you provoke that was not good? You just happened to provoke a guy with such a big hidden background. Who are you going to cut off next? This is still okay, if you continue to entangle and don't let go, it's hard to guarantee that even your own aura won't be severed. By then, when you die and disappear, it will be too late for regrets.

  Just as the three of them were speaking, countless cultivators rushed towards the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel like a flood, as if they had lost their minds. Even those with mediocre cultivation flew towards it like moths to a flame.

  The first to rush to the Heavenly Punishment Turning Wheel were naturally those cultivators who had reached the Dao King stage. These cultivators' every move was imbued with a hint of the Great Dao's rhythm, and their power was formidable. Any cultivator who stood in their way was like being hit by an ultra-large horsepower vehicle, and even their primordial spirits didn't have time to escape before falling from the sky.

  Blood rained down like rain, and the corpses were like dumplings. Zhao Zhuo's scalp was numb with fear, but fortunately, all the cultivators' attention was focused on the Heavenly Punishment Wheel at this time, and Zhao Zhuo and his two companions were quite far away from it, so they didn't get affected.

  The Heavenly Punishment Wheel was like a lantern in the dark of night, and the endless cultivators were like moths that flew towards it, one wave after another.

  At this time, even if it is a strong man in the Taoist period, if he is not careful, he will be killed by hundreds or thousands of Guiyiqi cultivators with countless magical treasures.

  At least Zhao Zhuo saw a Daojun period cultivator being blasted by dozens of treasures, his physical body and primordial spirit shattered together into fragments. Even the strong among the Daojun period would be no exception; when the number reaches a certain level, it will inevitably lead to a change in quality.

  "Alas, for the sake of a treasure that's almost impossible to obtain, he ended up losing his cultivation of tens of thousands of years in an instant, and even lost his life. It's truly not worth it."

  Brothers, they've caught up from behind, let's have a flower-throwing fight!
