Chapter 766: Must be the biological son of Heaven

The two Grandmasters left like the wind.

Chen Guanlou, wearing sweat-drenched clothes, beckoned to Wu Xun, the old monster, "Let's chat!"

Wu Xun hesitated for a moment and moved closer. The distance between the two was kept at about ten meters.

He thought he was going to ask about important matters, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, it was full of gossip, "You are the ancestor of the Wu family, which means you are quite old, are you over a hundred years old? How do you maintain it, looking like you are just over thirty."

Wu Xun snorted coldly, changing his posture of being a junior and bowing low in front of the Grandmaster, and put on the posture of a Jianghu senior, "When the cultivation is reached, what is difficult about retaining the skin of a youthful appearance. This old man admits that you are very good at fighting, but your cultivation is not at home. Young man, don't take shortcuts. Shortcuts are good, but sooner or later you will eat your own bitter fruit."

"Do you think I took a shortcut?" Chen Guanlou was very curious.

"Otherwise? Your foundation is unstable; compared to this old man, besides being able to fight, what else do you have?"

"Cultivation, cultivation, isn't it just to be able to fight!"

"Fallacy! Cultivation, besides being able to fight, also requires cultivating the body, cultivating the nature, and cultivating the essence. Just now, the reason why Senior Zhou could be persuaded by the Master and didn't kill you was because he is cultivating his nature. Killing will aggravate his illness and cause him to go crazy."

"My nature is peaceful, my essence is strong, don't talk nonsense."

"Judging by your real age, what you said is indeed correct, and you can be called a leader among your peers. However, with your ninth-rank cultivation, your cultivation of body, nature, and essence is far from enough. One day, if you get an opportunity to step into the Grandmaster realm, with your current cultivation, you will definitely fall. Even if you don't fall, you will go crazy and fall into the demonic path."

"Why do you think so?"

"Just because this old man has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and just because this old man fought with you, your background has been touched. Senior Zhou said you have weirdness on you, and this is correct.

You have a lot of weirdness on you. Under normal circumstances, someone with your cultivation wouldn't be able to walk ten moves under this old man's sword. But you were able to fight back and forth with this old man, fighting dozens of moves in one breath, very weird.

Perhaps it is the weirdness on you that took you on a shortcut, making your foundation not solid. For the sake of having fought

Chen Guanlou nodded repeatedly.

Regardless of whether the other party was right or not, at least this good intention was genuine.

In fact, everything the other party said was correct. However, his situation was truly special; with the blessing of the Xiao Changsheng Dao Fruit, things like Qi deviation, falling into the demonic path, or falling in battle simply did not exist.

The Xiao Changsheng Dao Fruit pushed him forward, and the journey was very smooth. Although it was very painful in the early stages, he had to experience the feeling of near-death every day.

The other party said his foundation was not solid enough; could that be the reason? Recovering too fast, advancing too fast.

Since his last closed-door cultivation in the wilderness, his cultivation progress had slowed down.

He frowned in deep thought, and the other party suddenly asked him, "Is it true that Zhang Daohe is a member of the cult?"

Wu Xun was still astonished by Zhang Daohe's identity.

"This is absolutely true!" Chen Guanlou came back to his senses and affirmed.

Wu Xun looked like he couldn't understand, "Why didn't he change his name? Are we really talking about the same person?"

"Senior, look at this mess; what is there to doubt now? Tonight, the two of us walked on the edge of life and death, and look at how you handled this. When you came to find me, couldn't you have learned to speak politely and discuss everything? You started fighting at the slightest disagreement, and as a result, you attracted two Grandmasters, almost getting us killed. I reckon you haven't been out in a long time; at home, you are the ancestor, and everyone respects and fears you. But now we are outside; keep a low profile in your words and actions, and don't fight if you can discuss it. Learn a lesson."

Wu Xun was very dissatisfied, "I, an elder, come to talk to you, a junior, and you expect me to beg you?"

"I didn't say beg me. At least explain things clearly. The moment you opened your mouth, you said to hand over the item; how would I know what to hand over? You didn't explain a word either. Old Senior, you can't rely on your age to act like a hooligan. Next time you come to find me, remember to speak properly. If you don't know how to speak properly, learn from your son and grandson, and see how they talk to you."

"Presumptuous!"

How unreasonable!

He actually treated him like a grandson.

"This isn't being presumptuous; it's a well-intentioned suggestion. Now, the situation is very clear: Zhang Daohe is playing both sides and cheating both, and we have been manipulated by two Grandmasters. There will likely be opportunities to meet and deal with each other in the future. Do you want an opportunity, and do you want to trap Zhang Daohe? If you do, speak properly and cooperate with me."

Chen Guanlou did not indulge the other party.

These old monsters and old guys shouldn't be given too much face. If you give them face, they will climb all over you.

"How to cooperate?"

"That's more like it! Come, let's compare notes first. First, we know that Zhang Daohe has multiple identities; besides being a cult member and a sect leader, he probably has other identities on the table. Second, Zhang Daohe is a Half-Step Grandmaster; are you sure?"

Wu Xun nodded, "I can be sure that he has reached the Grandmaster realm, but his realm is unstable. You calling him a Half-Step Grandmaster is a very fitting description."

"I think he probably hasn't fully reached the Grandmaster realm; he's just a knock-off Grandmaster. You can understand 'knock-off' as 'Half-Step'. This is the fundamental reason that drove him to find people to break through his bottleneck. He needs to enter the ancient tomb to become a true Grandmaster. Then that brings us to the third point: the ancient tomb from the early Great Yu Dynasty, there is a seventy percent chance it is real."

"Why only seventy percent?" Wu Xun didn't quite understand.

Chen Guanlou explained, "It is also possible that it is not an ancient tomb, but the cave dwelling of some immortal. You had better hope it is an ancient tomb; at least an ancient tomb was dug by people, built by human labor, and can be destroyed by human labor. An immortal's cave dwelling is where an immortal cultivated, and that is not something human labor can solve. At that point, it's possible we'll all die in droves."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xun couldn't help but nod repeatedly, "That makes sense! Why is there a seventy percent chance it is an ancient tomb and not an immortal's cave dwelling?"

"If it were an immortal's cave dwelling, it would definitely be equipped with defensive measures like restrictions. Even if a thousand years have passed and the restrictions might have loosened, what ability does Zhang Daohe have to escape unscathed without a single injury? Recall, when was the last time you saw him?"

"The year before last!"

"That's it! The restrictions of an immortal's cave dwelling would have injured him. Without immortal healing methods, relying on mortal healing methods, he recovered in just a year or two and even reached the Half-Step Grandmaster level. How likely do you think that is?"

Wu Xun pondered while slowly shaking his head, "If he really encountered an immortal's cave dwelling and was injured by its restrictions, it would be impossible to recover so quickly. Unless he had another fortuitous encounter afterward!"

Chen Guanlou chuckled coldly and sneered, "Where would there be so many fortuitous encounters? Having one is already being a favorite of the heavens. Having two in a short time, he would have to be the biological son of the Heavenly Dao. Do you think he looks like one?"
