The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 487 Qing Shi greets fellow Daoist
"what?"

"It's actually him?"

"Liu Ye!"

When the guide took action, he captured the so-called law enforcer and exposed his true identity.

Ling'er's exclamations rang out from the crowd of onlookers.

She hadn't expected that Liu Ye would also come to this second city.

But then...
"I understand!"

"Everything makes sense now!"

"Liu Ye's uncle, Liu Mingde, is one of the enforcers of the ancient human path!"

"Liu Ye must have obtained the enforcer's token and the Great Luo Divine Robe from his uncle, and then impersonated an enforcer!"

"He also recently formed a sworn brotherhood with the Qilin Holy Envoy under Emperor Tian. I heard that Emperor Tian also took in several alien races some time ago."

"Everything makes sense now. It must have been Di Tian who sent several of his alien subordinates, and then Liu Ye led them to sneak back to the Second City to seize the Source of Dao from Ba Xian."

Ling'er's voice wasn't loud, but it was still heard by some people nearby.

Instantly, a look of horror rose up on the faces of those people again, and they all stared wide-eyed at Ling'er.

They never expected that this matter would involve Di Tian.

etc.
who are you?
How do you know so much?

Noticing the expressions of those around her and the gazes directed at her, Ling'er realized that she had misspoke earlier due to her emotional fluctuations.

She quickly looked at her young mistress with a face full of self-reproach, her cherry lips parted as she was about to apologize.

Qing Shi waved her hand, indicating that it was alright.

Liu Ye is dead.

His head was severed by the Golden-Winged Roc King's halberd.

The former commander of the Second City, Yan Yu, is also dead; he was killed by Kane.

He did not break through to the Saint King realm. If nothing unexpected happens, he might break through to the Saint King realm a few years later, as described in the original work.

But at this moment, because of his greed, he perished more than ten years prematurely.

After Yan Yu's death, his great-grandson, Yan Chifeng, the most outstanding young member of the Yan clan, also died at the hands of Hong Luan.

Even though he had a substitute death technique, he was completely dead this time, and Yan Chifeng was no more in the world.

After they all died, the Yan Clan, which had occupied the second city of the ancient human road for many years and committed many evil deeds, naturally could not escape the fate and was eradicated by Kane and his men.

Like the other powerful families in the Second City who had shown their claws to Lu Zhou and his group, not a single member of the entire clan survived!

On this day, the Second City of the Ancient Road reeked of blood, shaking the entire city as it faced an unprecedented purge.

Soon, news of what happened in the second city spread rapidly through various channels into the depths of the ancient road.

After that day, the name of the Overlord Immortal became thoroughly renowned throughout the ancient human path.

Before this, perhaps only some well-informed people, or people from ancient cities that were relatively close to the first and second cities, had heard of the name of the Overlord Immortal.

But after that, looking at the entire ancient road, it can be said that there are very few test-takers who aspire to the Emperor's Path who do not know the name of the Overlord Immortal.

Not only did the name of the Overlord Immortal resound throughout the Ancient Road, but the names of the Divine Knight Kane, the Golden-Winged Little Peng King, and even the Red Phoenix also spread along with the Overlord Immortal throughout the Ancient Road.

There was a great deal of discussion about them, with all sorts of opinions.

Without exception, everyone knows they are not to be trifled with. If possible, it is best not to provoke them. Never provoke these killing gods who can wipe out an entire family in a single move.

Besides, nowadays, all the trial participants who have embarked on this path of trials, whether it is Di Tian or the Great Demon God Gu Huang, are all extremely wary of Ba Xian.

Despite the rumors that Dao Zhiyuan denied the existence of Ba Xian, claiming that he could never attain the Dao and become an emperor in this lifetime.

They still greatly fear Ba Xian.

This is especially evident in Di Tian, ​​who has already formed a grudge with the Overlord Immortal because of the Source of the Dao.

The commotion they caused in the second city was simply too great.

Not to mention that no one on that ancient road has ever seen the Overlord Immortal make a move.

The combat power that Kane and Golden-Winged Roc King displayed when they cleared out the Second City was no less than that of Di Tian or Ba Wang back in the Second City.

Such a group of people, whose combat strength was unmatched and who were extremely powerful, could not be ignored by anyone who had heard of them on this ancient road.

Just how strong is the Overlord Immortal?

Many people on this road have this question and are constantly speculating.

someone said.

"Since rumors suggest that even his followers have shown signs of being able to rival Di Tian or Ba Wang of the same era, it seems that Ba Xian must be stronger than Di Tian and Ba Wang of the same era."

"Otherwise, how could Ba Xian have made Kane and the Golden-Winged Roc King submit to him and become his followers?"

This view has gained considerable acceptance.

After all, this is something that's easy to understand.

"Pity"

"The Source of the Dao has already rejected him!"

"If that's the case, what use is it even if he's stronger now?"

"Even if he is already able to contend with Di Tian or Ba Wang deep within the ancient road, and is much stronger than many trial participants, that only represents his current state!"

"But the future is already destined not to belong to him!"

"Even if he rises to a higher position now, he is destined to be surpassed by those who are not as good as him now."

Many other people have said similar things.

As they spoke these words, their expressions ranged from smug delight to shaking their heads in lament, expressing their sorrow that a peerless genius of the human race had been reduced to a fleeting, brilliant firework.

Bibo Xianlin, with its beautiful waters and green mountains, and its rare and beautiful flowers, has long been famous in the Second City and is known to everyone.

While Kane and his men were clearing out the Second City, Lu Zhou strolled through the Azure Wave Immortal Forest, gazing at this wondrous land that had been mentioned in the original novel.

[Ding! Host has checked in at the second level of the Ancient Path of Humanity. Host has obtained a Divine Light Platform, which has been stored in Host's Chaos Pearl!]

Lu Zhou didn't expect that his sign-in reward in the second city would be a Divine Light Platform that was of little use to him, exactly the same as his sign-in reward in the first city.

This made Lu Zhou wonder if all the divine light platforms he would get from signing in at the ancient city were actually divine light platforms.
"Fortunately, my daily check-in rewards in the Crimson Trial Grounds and the Ancient Dojo were pretty good."

Lu Zhou signed up for a piece of immortal gold the size of a human head in the Ancient Daoist Temple, which finally replenished his nine great immortal golds that had been completely used up.

In previous years, when he was undergoing tribulation on Earth to become a saint, he took the opportunity to reforge the Qiankun Pearl.

Therefore, Lu Zhou not only completely integrated the large section of the Source Root of All Things Mother Qi that Ye Fan had given him back then, as well as a large amount of All Things Mother Qi, into the Qiankun Pearl.

He also melted all nine immortal golds he had at the time into the Qiankun Pearl for refining.

Finally, it helped the Qiankun Pearl to further transform and advance, giving birth to a deity, and becoming the Chaos Pearl we know today.

As Lu Zhou expected, he had only been touring the Azure Wave Immortal Forest for a short time when someone came to his door.

He strolled out of a secluded bamboo grove and saw two figures by a stream not far ahead.

On both sides of the stream, lush green grass grew, and the melodious sound of a zither, like heavenly music, mingled with the babbling of the stream and the rustling of bamboo leaves in the breeze, reaching Lu Zhou's ears.

All of this was combined so perfectly, with a harmonious balance of movement and stillness, as if it were a natural creation, bringing a sense of tranquility and joy to the mind.

The music stopped.

With a smile on his face, Lu Zhou walked over to Qing Shi, who was looking at him, and Ling'er, who was dressed as a maid and standing quietly behind Qing Shi, also looking at him.

"I heard that eleven years ago, there was a person in this city who played a world-shaking piece of music. The moment the music started, four saints instantly turned to dust. He was undoubtedly the number one among that batch of trial participants!"

"Later, that person was revered as a banished immortal by all the beings on this ancient road!"

As Lu Zhou finished speaking, he had already arrived at the stream and stood not far from Qing Shi and Ling'er.

"Qing Shi greets fellow Daoist!"

"I wonder if I might have the honor of inviting you, fellow Daoist, for a chat!"

She stood up, greeted Lu Zhou with a smile, and invited him to sit down at the table that had been prepared for her earlier.

Qing Shi was not surprised that Lu Zhou could guess her identity.

After all, Lu Zhou had already seen through her disguise some time ago when he was preparing to enter the Ancient Daoist Temple for trials.

And along this ancient road, there are quite a few people who know what she looks like.

Qing Shi thought that Lu Zhou might have already investigated her identity through some aristocratic scions in the Second City while in the Ancient Daoist Temple.

Although the reality was not as she imagined.

Lu Zhou thought to himself, "I didn't expect her to really be Qing Shi." As he was thinking this, Lu Zhou casually sat down cross-legged on the futon next to the table and said with a smile.

"To have a chat with the renowned fairy who has been hailed throughout the ancient road is something many people dream of!"

After he sat down, Ling'er gracefully stepped forward and served him a cup of refreshing spiritual tea.

"You flatter me, Immortal!"

"It should be Qing Shi who feels honored now."

Qing Shi was very polite to Lu Zhou.

She exuded the air of a banished fairy, but lacked the haughty demeanor expected of one.

And what she said was by no means just polite talk.

After all, the fact that so many important figures in the Second City had offered generous gifts to invite Ba Xian to continue their relationship not long ago, only to be ruthlessly ignored and rejected by Ba Xian, was still fresh in everyone's mind.

"Let's not be so polite, I prefer to be straightforward!"

"You didn't also sneak back here to get the Source of Dao for Di Tian, ​​did you?"

Lu Zhou got straight to the point.

Based on the original work, Lu Zhou believes that this is probably the reason why Qing Shi is here now.

Qing Shi did not deny it.

She spoke after Lu Zhou finished speaking.

"Indeed, it's for the source of the Dao!"

"However, it wasn't for Di Tian."

"Instead, I plan to keep it for my own use."

Lu Zhou simply didn't believe it.

No one understands the secrets of the world better than him.

He asked himself if his various intrusions had even reached the point where they could have altered the course of this matter.

A look of 'You're lying to the immortals' crept onto Lu Zhou's face.

Qing Shi had been watching Lu Zhou the whole time, and she was surprised when she saw the disbelieving look on his face.

This made her abruptly stop herself from saying what she was about to say.

A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes before she continued speaking.

"Ba Xian, you don't seem to believe what I'm saying?"

"But is there something wrong with what Qing Shi said?"

Lu Zhou waved his hand and said.

"nothing."

Whether I believe it or not is not important!

This was indeed not important to Lu Zhou at all.

The reason he is interested in sitting down and talking with Qing Shi here is because...

Aside from the fact that Qing Shi's style truly suited his aesthetic sensibilities.

The only other reason is that Qing Shi was a character who was mentioned in detail in the original work.

Now that they had met, and with nothing else to do, Lu Zhou became interested in chatting with her.

However, after Qing Shi denied that she was there to seize the Source of Dao for Di Tian, ​​Lu Zhou's interest in this banished fairy has waned.

Mr. Lu doesn't like being treated like a fool.

Qing Shi is not a fool either.

On the contrary, it can be seen from the original work that she was indeed a rare and extraordinary woman.

This is especially evident in her speech, interpersonal interactions, and certain aspects of her conduct.

He can be described as meticulous, tactful, composed, and reasonable.

Lu Zhou thought that if it weren't for some problems with her understanding of the Imperial Road conquest...

It's likely that Qing Shi's ultimate achievements will be quite remarkable.

It is precisely because Qing Shi is not a fool.

Therefore, even though Lu Zhou didn't say anything explicitly, after Qing Shi carefully reviewed what she had said earlier, she immediately realized the problem.

'Is it because I denied that I came here to obtain the Source of Dao for Emperor Tian?'

Qing Shi's eyes flickered, and she spoke frankly to Lu Zhou.

"Since you mentioned Di Tian after seeing me, you must already know that I have a good relationship with Di Tian and that we have formed an alliance to fight together on the Emperor's Path!"

"But why are you so sure that I came here to obtain the Source of the Dao from you and then hand it over to Di Tian?"

Lu Zhou originally had no interest in continuing to argue with her about this topic.

After all, it was impossible for Qing Shi to obtain the Source of Dao from him.

Even if he doesn't need the Source of the Dao, he can still give it to any of his Daoist partners.

In short, no matter how things turn, it's impossible for it to happen to Qing Shi.

Therefore, there is no point in continuing this topic.

But after thinking about it, Lu Zhou still spoke to Qing Shi.

"I heard that Di Tian also obtained a source of Dao eleven years ago in the Crimson Trial Grounds, but that source of Dao was not complete!"

"Now that another source of the Dao has appeared in the world, and it is complete."

"Haven't you ever considered that if the two sources of Dao were to merge, they might give rise to some extraordinary celestial treasure?"

"At that time, perhaps your alliance with Di Tian will be even more competitive on this Emperor's Path!"

Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words and seeing the ambiguous smile on his face, both Qing Shi and Ling'er, who was standing behind Qing Shi, were taken aback!
He was clearly somewhat surprised; how could Lu Zhou have guessed Qing Shi's initial plan?

Despite being somewhat surprised by this, Qing Shi immediately spoke up.

"Qing Shi did indeed have this intention!"

"I originally thought that since fellow Daoist's talent is rare, unique in history..."

As expected of a celestial being, to be fair, while Qing Shi may have her shortcomings, her eloquence is absolutely impeccable.

Those beautiful words just flowed out of his mouth effortlessly.

Even though Lu Zhou had heard countless flattering words and praises, he found it very pleasant and comfortable to hear Qing Shi, the fairy maiden, say these words to his face.

What Qing Shi said was pretty much what she said to Ye Fan in the original novel.

Most people say that the tyrant immortal is contrary to the Dao and cannot be tolerated by Heaven and Earth, and therefore is denied by the source of the Dao.

However, in Qing Shi's words, it was said that Ba Xian's talent was rare and unparalleled throughout history. The so-called incompatibility with heaven and earth meant that Ba Xian had already amazingly transcended this world, so the source of the Dao belonging to this world was not suitable for Ba Xian!

One is because it goes against the natural order and is not accepted by heaven and earth; the other is because it is stunningly transcendent of heaven and earth!

听听
This is the art of language.

Same result, different interpretations.

But which kind of rhetoric is more appealing is self-evident.

Lu Zhou did not interrupt Qing Shi.

He noticed that when Qing Shi said these words, she was very serious and clearly indicating that she did indeed have the idea of ​​exchanging the Source of Dao from Lu Zhou and then handing it over to Di Tian.

This is very much in line with what Lu Zhou knew about the original work.

But the word "once" stirred up a storm in Lu Zhou's heart.

Was Qing Shi's initial denial not just a way to fool him?

Lu Zhou suddenly remembered that in the original work, when Ye Fan asked Qing Shi if she was trying to seize the Source of Dao for someone else.

Qing Shi was practically stating that she was there to plot the Origin of the Dao for Di Tian.

If that's the case, then Qing Shi doesn't seem to need to deny it now when facing him.

He was very curious as to how things had suddenly gone off track.

Why would Qing Shi suddenly change her mind about the original story?

What exactly is the reason?
