Taoist master wants to ascend

Chapter 478 Unparalleled, the first stop

This old man was nine feet tall, with half-white hair but no beard. He had his eyes closed and his legs crossed, but he still had an air of power that was not angry but powerful.

'Strange, it's not similar to the statue in the hall. It doesn't look like the same race, but more like people from the Universiade side...'

When Li Yuan was looking carefully, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

With just one glance, Li Yuan suddenly felt chilled, as if he was thrown into an ice cave in the middle of winter, and his whole body was shocked.

In front of the old man, a stone tablet immediately rose, with various sea-splitting divine inscriptions appearing on it:

[Xuanjing Daozi: Li Yuan]

[Talent: Unparalleled Talent (??)]

[Divinity: middle to lower]

Wait, I forgot to activate the palm weapon to bless it.

Li Yuan only glanced at it and secretly thought something bad was wrong, but at this moment it was obviously too late to urge him to move it, as the Black Whale Hammer was still in his hand.

"Third, third level talent, one, first level divine endowment?!"

Under the tree, the old man's body shook, then shook again, astonishment and doubt flashed across his face, and finally turned gray:

"God, God will kill me!"

The old man sighed sadly, but Li Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and he was also surprised. What the old man said was not the Sea-Splitting Divine Inscription, but Mandarin.

Before the Universiade Dynasty, the official language of the Zhou Dynasty...

"Li, Li Yuan?"

After sighing with regret, the old man's eyes turned over with complicated expressions.

Li Yuan felt a slight chill in his heart. He always felt that this old guy wanted to slap him to death. He immediately clenched the Black Whale Hammer tightly without leaving a trace and bowed slightly:

"Junior Li Yuan, I would like to pay my respects to my senior. How do you call me senior?"

Damn it!

The old man and the young man looked at each other, quite disgusted with each other.

"...My surname is Zhou. I am the master of the black whale hammer of the generation before you."

Under the tree, the old man's chest rose and fell several times before he managed to speak.

really!

When he heard the old man speaking in official terms, Li Yuan had some guesses in his heart, but now he was a little shocked to hear that he admitted and confirmed his guess:

"Senior is actually the previous generation Black Whale Hammer Master? You, you are still alive?!"

Li Yuan was a little horrified.

The Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer has been dormant under the Divine Weapon Valley for at least a thousand years. The previous generation of hammer owners must have been from the previous dynasty.

Can this still be alive?

"..."

The old man surnamed Zhou glanced around with a dull expression:

"Do you think I am still alive?"

"Well……"

Li Yuan was speechless, and the old man named Zhou also fell silent.

He obviously didn't want to talk, but Li Yuan listened to the sound of burning incense and still took the initiative to ask about the final trial.

"Do you want to pass the final trial?"

The old man surnamed Zhou almost laughed angrily: "Based on your third-level talent and first-level divine endowment?"

"ridiculous!"

The old man named Zhou suddenly became excited.

He simply couldn't believe that the person who could pass all kinds of trials and get to him was actually a person with "average talent".

"Uh...Level 3? Are you talking about the talent of the junior?"

Li Daoye was not annoyed, but took the opportunity to ask:

"What level is senior?"

"Haha~"

The old man surnamed Zhou is smiling but not smiling:

"Although my talent is at the first level, it is above average. As for my talent, it is at the upper level of the fourth level!"

"On the fourth level?"

Li Yuan pretended to be curious, but he had already reacted in his heart.

If the peerless talent belongs to the third level, then the fourth level is the eternal level?

"Almost unparalleled."

The old man named Zhou had no expression on his face, but he felt a little sad in his heart.

He paid a huge price, even the price of the collapse of his divine realm and the price of his soul being bound here, so he could wait until now without death.

What a waste like this.

Unparalleled talent can be a true successor or even a disciple of the Five Great Dao Sects, but what does it mean on this path?

'Almost unparalleled, well, still eternal...'

The 'unparalleled' Li Daoye commented in his heart that he didn't care at all about other people's contempt for their talent level.

He is more concerned about the levels of this talent.

Peerless Three, Eternal Four, Unparalleled Five...

"When I controlled the Black Whale Hammer and the Health Furnace, my talent was 'Unparalleled (Part 1)', that is, it was just a hair short of level six?"

Thinking of this, Li Yuan became calmer.

A mere fourth level...

"With your talent, how did you get here?"

Looking at Li Yuan, the old man named Zhou felt disappointed, shook his head and asked:

"Boy, in the outside world, who is in charge of the world now?"

"Um?"

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly and he replied: "The current emperor calls himself 'Qian' and is called Emperor Qian. He is the twenty-seventh generation grandson of Taizu Taizu of Dayun."

"Great Luck... Qiandi."

The old man surnamed Zhou's face was as dark as water: "Tell me about the outside world. In exchange, I can answer a few questions for you."

"Senior, please ask."

Li Yuan naturally would not refuse.

"Great luck, who is the founding emperor?"

What an antique.

Li Yuan was speechless in his heart and replied: "The Taizu of Great Luck, his name is Pang Wenlong."

"Pang Wenlong?"

The old man surnamed Zhou frowned: "Isn't it Gao Feiqing?"

"Gao Feiqing is defeated."

Li Yuan suddenly thought that this old man should have been born 1,500 years ago and died before the founding of the Universiade.

With Zhou as his surname, could he be a descendant of Zhou Dynasty?

"Gao Feiqing has been defeated?"

The old man surnamed Zhou took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "The former royal family..."

"Well, it is said that only one lineage fled to sea and disappeared without a trace."

Li Yuan answered.

"Missing, missing..."

The old man surnamed Zhou closed his eyes and calmed down after a moment:

"This is what happens when dynasties change. I shouldn't take any chances... Which sect are you from?"

"Returning to the seniors, this junior was born in Zhaixing Tower."

Knowing this person's origin, Li Yuan naturally knew how to say: "Zhaixinglou has always made it its mission to assassinate the emperor..."

"Um?"

The old man surnamed Zhou glanced at Li Yuan, and the sadness in his heart dissipated somewhat:

"You're quite cunning."

Seeing that his mood improved, Li Yuan took the opportunity to ask:

"May I ask, senior, why are you here?"

"You do know how to ask."

The old man surnamed Zhou frowned. He hadn't seen anyone for many years, but he still had some depression in his heart that needed to be vented:

"I, Zhou Ying, come from the Zhou royal family..."

Zhou Ying, a branch of the Zhou royal family, was far away from the main line, so he was known as a royal family member, but he was not from a wealthy family.

He was fond of martial arts and became a member of the Changhong Sword Sect when he was young. He was already a Taoist when he was only forty years old. After that, he traveled around the world and encountered the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer somewhere. After that, he changed to practice the hammer technique.

"When I accomplished my great feats, the world was in turmoil. A high-flying, unparalleled hero, armed with a purple-gold spear that conquered the vast wilderness, was almost helpless in the world. I missed a single move at chess and was defeated by him."

Speaking of things that happened a thousand years ago, the old man surnamed Zhou said in a calm voice:

"I am not willing to die here, so I stripped off the divine realm and paid attention to my soul here, waiting for the fate."

"What is fate?"

Li Yuan asked.

"It's not you after all."

Zhou Ying snorted coldly, feeling sad again:

"This road of trial has three stops. I will replace the original traces. This is the first stop."

Three stops?

Li Yuan silently wrote it down in his heart.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Ying shook his head inwardly, knowing that this boy was still lucky, and of course, he was not surprised.

Except here, peerless geniuses are supreme geniuses everywhere, regardless of status or status, they are superior to others.

"These three stations should be left by the Xuanjing Sect. Therefore, if you are good at martial arts, you must also have talent. It is almost impossible to pass the third station without a sixth-level talent."

Zhou Ying sighed again: "After three stops, maybe we can hope to reach the Bafang Temple?"

The gap between the fourth level and the sixth level was as huge as a snake and a dragon. He had tried all his methods in the past and could not overcome it.

"Sixth level?"

Li Yuan was a little curious: "Senior, where did this division of hierarchy come from?"

"There are three trial stations, and there are many benefits at each place."

Zhou Ying replied calmly: "I replace the original tester, but you must also abide by the rules. Your talent is not enough."

Li Yuan didn't take it seriously. He just wanted to get some information first.

"I once entered the third station. Although I couldn't pass it, I still got a lot of things. One of the ancient scrolls mentioned, 'Innate talent'."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ying paused slightly:

"I have answered enough, please go."

"..."

The old guy is deliberately trying to whet his appetite.

Li Yuan was speechless, but he could only follow his words: "Senior, do you have something to give me to this junior?"

"If you can find the legacy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then I will not only impart everything I know to you, but I can even carry the backlash to help you pass the test."

Zhou Ying did not beat around the bush.

"Farewell!"

Looking for the legacy of the previous dynasty that disappeared for more than a thousand years? Li Yuan was not interested in this at all, so he immediately handed over and prepared to leave.

"slow."

Zhou Ying called him.

"Fifteen hundred years, the vicissitudes of the world will not be the same, but I want to find the legacy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I forgive my juniors for their inability."

Li Yuan has no such interest.

"With your talent, this is your only chance to pass..."

"That's not necessarily the case."

As soon as Li Yuan cupped his hand, the light and shadow in front of him immediately dispersed. After the incense was exhausted, there was deep darkness all around.

"The previous generation Black Whale Hammer Master..."

In the ruined temple, Li Yuan muttered to himself, looking down at the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer in his hand:

"You know him?"

【Forgot】

The Black Whale Spirit's answer was very straightforward.

"..."

Li Yuan almost choked and asked again:

"Can this person come out?"

[God is bound here, neither dead nor alive, unable to leave]

"Is that so?"

Li Yuan thought for a while, and controlled all the hammer soldiers except the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.

With the blessing of many talents behind him, Li Yuan just took out the incense and lit the incense burner again.

At this time, he threw the black whale hammer into the weapon jar.

When walking here, he must hold the Hammer Spirit in his hand. There is no other reason. Without the Hammer Spirit, the gaze of the stone statue behind him cannot illuminate the way forward for him.

But after entering the temple, it’s no problem.

Buzz~

With the blessings of all kinds of masters on his body, Li Yuan felt happy both physically and mentally, and then he saw Zhou Ying again.

"Um?"

Under the old tree, Zhou Ying opened his eyes:

"What, you regret it?"

Zhou Ying sneered, and Li Yuan didn't say anything. He just looked at the stone tablet in front of him, with words appearing on it, just like before.

The difference is that the talent has gone from 'peerless' to 'unparalleled'!

From level three to level five!

"you……"

Zhou Ying seemed to be aware of something. When he lowered his head, he saw the dazzling golden light:

"matchless??!"

matchless!

Zhou Ying stood up suddenly, his expression changed drastically:

"You can actually hide your talent?"

"senior."

Li Yuan didn't answer, just raised his hand and asked:

"Now, this junior is qualified to pass this station, right?"

"you……"

Zhou Ying was shocked. He knew that there were martial arts that could hide one's appearance and aura, but talent was not martial arts.

It was like a mountain. The height was obvious at a glance, so how could it be hidden?

But he quickly calmed down and nodded with a complicated expression: "Unrivaled, unrivaled... yes, you are qualified to pass this level of my old man."

As he said, this was the rule. He could not resist what was left by the Xuanjing Sect. If he resisted, he would be attacked.

Buzz~

Almost at the same time Zhou Ying nodded, the stone tablet in front of him began to glow, and the words changed:

[Xuanjing Daozi: Li Yuan]

[Talent: Unrivaled]

[Divine Endowment: Middle and Lower]

[The First Stop on the Xuanjing Road]

[Passed]
