Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 583 Senior Sister
"I'm going through the right-hand door, what about you?" Zhou Leng asked.

Azure Sword said helplessly, "I'll stand at the door and watch you go in."

"Then I'm going in."

"Go for it!" Azure Sword shouted, but felt a void in his heart. He had actually cheered for a foreign race.

what's the situation?
Oh well, after all, the other party has the blood of a minor tyrant, so there's no shame in it.

Thinking of this, Azure Sword became invigorated.

He followed Zhou Leng to the doorway, stopped, watched Zhou Leng walk through the archway, and then disappeared.

The doorway was empty, blocked by a screen wall, so no one could see what was inside.

Azure Sword felt a pang of anxiety, sighed, and obediently stood guard at the door.

Zhou Leng walked around the screen wall depicting pine trees and cranes standing in front of the gate and entered the brand-new courtyard.

It's about the size of a stadium.

A large area at the end of the courtyard collapsed, and almost all the buildings in the courtyard also collapsed.

Half of the wall on the left side of the courtyard has collapsed, and many figures are painted on the half wall.

The costumes of these figures are unlike anything seen in the Ten Realms, and are mostly in an Eastern style.

All the characters were positioned above white clouds, with the same divine halos that had appeared many times before floating behind them.

From the edge inwards, the stars in the ring become denser and larger towards the center.

At the outermost edge of the divine ring, there are only a few broken asteroids. Further in, the ring is composed of many large asteroids, densely packed together.

Further in, the rings are no longer composed of asteroids, but of complete planets of various shapes and sizes.

Near the middle of the fracture, half of the divine ring is exposed.

The ring of gods is made up of suns.

Although only half of the divine halo remains, and the image of that deity is not depicted in the mural, it still evokes the image of a powerful deity surrounded by stars and whose radiance shines eternally.

As Zhou Leng was looking at it, a woman in the mural suddenly came to life.

The woman in the mural, like a character from an animated film, has changed from sitting to standing.

She wore a divine halo around her back, her figure was tall and straight, her skin was as white as snow, and she wore a white dress that exuded an ethereal aura. Her black hair was draped over her waist and swayed slowly.

His thin, oval face was cold and aloof, and his pair of bright, icy black eyes were fixed on Zhou Leng.

It's as if you're standing amidst mountains and valleys, above the vast sky and clouds, looking down on the world.

"Humph……"

"Throughout countless millennia, they have been either demons or half-demons."

"No matter what, that half-demon, even if he doesn't understand divine script, is still a martial artist, at least he has true qi."

"Today is even worse; someone who doesn't even have any internal energy has arrived, all he has is a handsome face."

"The ancient river is gone."

The woman was reciting divine script.

Zhou Leng looked at her.

The woman's expression grew colder, and her eyes became increasingly indifferent.

She had already exhausted her patience when she encountered a useless half-demon who couldn't understand divine script last time.

Now, a human without true qi has left her utterly desperate.

Because her strength had been exhausted.

Before long, her last vestiges of consciousness will crumble along with this place.

The longing accumulated over countless billions of years has turned into resentment.

"This kid has no inner energy, yet his eyes are so cunning. Where is he looking? Hmm..."

The woman seemed to sense something and was wondering what was going on when Zhou Leng spoke up.

"Senior Sister Shen Yunxian, it's only our second meeting, and you're already speaking ill of me to my face. That's not very nice of you."

It's not a perfectly grammatically correct divine script, but it is indeed divine script.

The animated woman on the wall slightly opened her mouth, stared wide-eyed, and looked as if she had seen a ghost.

A moment later, Shen Yunxian finally sensed something was wrong with Zhou Leng.

The divine halo behind him shifted slightly.

White light descended from the void, instantly filling the entire courtyard.

The scattered pebbles seem to flow backward in time, reversing the flow and converging to form the old buildings.

Some plants that had been dead for who knows how many years rose up and grew again, standing upright despite their deathly aura.

As the divine light descended, countless billions of years later, Shen Yunxian stepped out of the mural.

Her body was semi-transparent, her white dress flowed, her black hair reached her waist, and behind her head was a halo composed of densely packed large asteroids, which slowly rotated.

She took a small step and walked up to Zhou Leng.

She was slightly shorter than Zhou Leng, yet she stood in mid-air, looking down at him with frost in her eyes.

"What did you call me?"

Zhou Leng cupped his hands and said, "I am Zhou Leng, and I have been appointed as the temporary senior brother of the Guhe Sect by Master Wu. In the outer sect's transmission hall, I participated in the 'Long River Flying Moon' event with my senior sister and had the opportunity to meet the three Guhe disciples. Later, I saw the three of them discussing sect matters in the backyard, so I regard them as my senior brothers and sisters."

The frost in Shen Yunxian's eyes turned into fine mist and slowly dissipated.

Her eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if she were recalling or reminiscing.

After a long while, she asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"One of the Three Masters of Guhe, whose martial arts shine through the heavens, whose divine might is unparalleled throughout history." Zhou Leng delivered a blatant compliment, flattering him without hesitation. "I am Shen Yunxian, the Sect Master of Guhe Sect."

The woman's voice resonated like a thousand bells ringing in unison, and ten thousand drums shaking the heavens.

The sky and earth were sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

An unimaginable force shook the space, Zhou Leng lost his footing, his ears were filled with a deafening roar, and the earth shook before his eyes.

"Disciple Zhou Leng greets Headmaster Sister." Zhou Leng bowed and formally paid his respects.

"How could the Ancient River Sect produce such a treacherous brat like you..."

Zhou Leng was stunned. Why was Shen Yunxian accusing him first?
Could Shen Yunxian's thought be malevolent?

Seeing that Zhou Leng looked completely bewildered, Shen Yunxian couldn't muster any anger and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Headmistress Sister."

"And what about your generation?"

Zhou Leng suddenly realized.

When I first saw the three members of Furukawa in a group photo, I was older than them all, so I didn't really consider them my seniors and assumed they were my peers.

I never expected to meet him again, and I didn't even consider this relationship. I even pretended to be Guan Canglong without feeling guilty.

Upon meeting her, I instinctively addressed her as "Senior Sister," forgetting the enormous generational gap between us—a gap that spanned tens of thousands of generations.

If it were Zhou Leng from the front lines of a great battle, he would probably have honestly apologized and admitted his mistake.

But having experienced life and death again, and being attacked by national media and public opinion, Zhou Leng's mind has undergone some changes.

Being an honest and upright person will only result in being bullied.

What else can we do after we've already made the call?
"No matter what others think, I will always be your junior brother. In my heart, you will always be the great, radiant, upright, and beautiful sect leader." Zhou Leng was really bad at flattery, so he could only force it.

Shen Yunxian was a little confused. In all her years of life, she had never encountered such blatant flattery.

Will children millions of years from now all be this wild?
The two looked at each other, one speaking ill of the other to his face, the other flattering him.

When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.

Shen Yunxian wanted to say something with the dignity of a sect leader, but then she thought better of it. Her consciousness was about to collapse, so there was no need to talk about the dignity of a sect leader. There were more important things to do.

"How did you learn divine script, and how did you master the true energy of the stars?" Shen Yunxian didn't notice at first because he didn't believe that a primary civilization would have someone who understood divine script.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Zhou Leng not only possessed the Tiger Talisman but also mastered advanced cultivation techniques related to the Starry Sky True Energy, which is why he stepped out of the mural and triggered the Divine Light of Heaven.

With a flick of her finger, the tiger talisman flew out, spinning like a puppy, twirling on Shen Yunxian's fingertip.

A deep sense of nostalgia appeared in Shen Yunxian's eyes.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said, "It's not convenient to talk about the matter of divine script."

"Can the starry sky really be like that?"

"I can't say either," Zhou Leng said honestly.

“You cunning brat…” Shen Yunxian said with a frosty expression, “Then tell me your story, tell me what you can tell.”

"Should we only talk about those related to the Ancient River Sect, or all of them?"

"Everything, including the world you live in."

Zhou Leng organized his thoughts, briefly recounted the history of Blue Star, then spoke of the War of the Ten Realms, and finally shared his own experiences.

Every time Shen Yunxian talked about returning to her hometown to cultivate successfully, and Da Huang bringing her treasures over, she would raise an eyebrow slightly.

Zhou Leng openly discussed the content of "The Undying Star" and "The Ten Rebellious Beast Fist," which could be guessed, but every time he mentioned the Frost Giant Tree, he always felt that a mysterious force naturally stopped him.

When the topic turned to obtaining the Eye of the Ancient God in the dwarven world, Shen Yunxian's expression changed for the first time, and he inquired about the details of the Eye of the Ancient God.

When talking about successfully breaking through the Heavenly Staircase and obtaining the fragment of the Zhenhai Map and the Divine Token, Shen Yunxian's expression changed for the second time, and he repeatedly asked about the various aspects of the Zhenhai Map.

Before long, Zhou Leng recounted his first encounter with the Ancient River Sect, through that jade tablet.

The scene in the dream, where a man in black carves a stone tablet with his fingers, is what Zhou Leng tells others for the first time.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunxian's expression darkened, and the light in the world dimmed, causing Zhou Leng to feel a great sorrow rise in his heart, rendering him unable to speak.

When Shen Yunxian recounted his experience of entering the Chuan Gong Hall at the ancient river ruins, he listened with exceptional care.

Upon entering Hundred Peaks Valley, when Zhou Leng mentioned that he called himself Guan Canglong, Shen Yunxian glared at him fiercely. She finally realized that this kid was indeed cunning.

When talking about the great battlefield and recounting the various experiences there, and when mentioning the calamities caused by nature, Shen Yunxian's expression changed slightly, becoming wary.

Upon learning that Zhou Leng had left his name on the final Heavenly Steps Stele, he nodded repeatedly.

Finally, Zhou Leng recounted his experiences after his martial arts were crippled.

Shen Yunxian snorted coldly and said, "How dare you, a mere little star, bully the disciples of my Ancient River Sect! When I leave the mountain, I will annihilate your entire star."

Zhou Leng said helplessly, "It's because I'm just a temporary senior brother, nobody takes me seriously."

Shen Yunxian saw through Zhou Leng's little scheme at a glance. He glanced at the tiger talisman, flicked his finger, and the tiger talisman flew back to Zhou Leng's magic spirit bag.

Shen Yunxian asked, "After you recruited disciples, did any extraterrestrial forces descend upon you?"

Zhou Leng thought for a long time, then finally shook his head and said, "No."

Shen Yunxian sighed and said, "Never mind. Besides, stay away from the Heavenly Calamity Envoy, if..."

Shen Yunxian suddenly stopped, pondered for a long time, and slowly said, "If possible, think about an escape route. Whether it's a giant or a dragon, they are both good choices. Don't go to the Demon Spirit World."

"Why?"

Shen Yunxian looked up at the horizon and asked, "Do you think that with the aptitude of the three sons of Guhe, they can ascend to the level of True God, which is above the Void God?"

“Of course, the three of you will surely ascend to godhood,” Zhou Leng said.

"But do you know that before my fall, I was only at the level of a virtuous god?"

"Why?" Zhou Leng asked incredulously. Even the three sons of Guhe were not true gods, but merely illusory gods.
Just how gifted is that true god?
