Chapter 91 The Origin of the Golden Escape Flowing Light

Ding Chang is the 81st generation master of the Maoshan Shangqing School and the current head of the Maoshan Shangqing School.

"It's my young friend Zhao Zhen! It's been a long time!"

Ding Chang smiled slightly, a kind smile spreading across his face.

"Has Sect Leader Ding met this junior before?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes.

He remembered that when he visited the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan, the disciples of the Shangqing Sect preferred peace and quiet and did not like to be disturbed by outsiders, so he did not get to see this Sect Leader Ding at all.

Even when sparring with disciples of the Shangqing Sect, the other side simply sent a random disciple to deal with the situation casually.

After all, he was originally a disciple of the Quanxing Demon Clan, so the fact that the Shangqing Sect treated him with such politeness was already quite good.

“Back when you, young friend Zhao, came to our Maoshan Mountain to pay your respects, I secretly watched your duel with Ziming.”

"what?"

Upon hearing this, not only Zhao Zhen, but also the other Shangqing Sect disciples present couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in their eyes.

They never expected that Zhao Zhen's visit to the mountain back then would actually alarm their own sect leader.

"Hehe, you don't need to be surprised. Back then, I mainly went there because of the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique you used."

After all, the Golden Light Talisman and the Golden Escape Flowing Light were actually obtained by the Golden Light Master from the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan.

"what?"

Another bombshell was dropped by the old man with nonchalant ease.

To be honest, Zhao Zhen's head was spinning. He never expected that his old man's Golden Escape Flowing Light was actually obtained from the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan!
No wonder I always felt that my Golden Escape Flowing Light and the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master's Mansion had many similarities when I was discussing with Zhang Zhiwei at the Celestial Master's Mansion. It turns out that the Golden Escape Flowing Light originated from Taoism and is an orthodox Taoist tradition!

"Back then, Duan Chuan and a group of Quanxing demons infiltrated my Maoshan and stole the books about the Vertical Earth Golden Light Talisman and the Golden Escape Flowing Light, which led to the later Quanxing Golden Light Master."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly clasped his hands in apology to the old man.

"Sect Leader Ding, although my old man is dead, if this was indeed his doing, then I must apologize to your sect on my old man's behalf."

"It doesn't matter."

The old man smiled and waved his hand.

"When Master Jin Guang collected donations a few years ago, my Maoshan Shangqing Sect did not send anyone to participate, which means that I have no intention of pursuing his responsibility for theft."

This Golden Light Talisman, passed down for thousands of years, is already incomplete, and the Golden Escape Flowing Light that it is paired with is also extremely difficult to cultivate.

Even if it were placed on a mountain, not a single disciple of the Shangqing School would go there to cultivate in the past hundred years.

While it is true that the Golden Light Master is a demon of the Quanxing sect, he is indeed exceptionally talented, as he was able to cultivate the Golden Escape Flowing Light even with the Golden Light Talisman of the Vertical Earth incomplete.

The fact that this technique has been passed down to you now proves that this technique itself is destined to be passed down to you and your master.

Rather than letting a precious gem lie dormant on a mountain, never to see the light of day again, wouldn't it be better to give it to someone who truly needs it? At least that way, it can make a contribution to the world, wouldn't it?

After listening to the old man's words, Zhao Zhen was filled with respect.

"Sect Leader Ding, you are so righteous. Rest assured, I promise you that I will never use this method for any despicable thing in my life!"

"Hahaha, I am naturally at ease with the Golden Escape Flowing Light in your hands, Golden Thunder Lord."

Back then, I trusted the Celestial Master and the Left Sect Master's judgment; now it seems this method is perfectly suited for you as well.

The old man laughed heartily, and then slowly sat up from the bed.

"Alright, now that Zibu has returned, we should pack our things and prepare to continue our journey. We mustn't be late." "Sect Leader Ding, I am also heading to the Gao family for our appointment. Would I have the honor of accompanying your sect?"

"of course can."

"Thank you, senior."

……

On the way, Ding Chang and a group of disciples from the Shangqing Sect walked ahead, while Zhao Zhen and Zheng Zibu at the back of the group started chatting again.

"I never expected that Brother Zhao's Golden Escape Flowing Light technique actually came from my Shangqing Sect."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Zhao Zhen shook his head, then continued, "But thinking about it, it makes sense. My old man is just a wandering monk without any sect or school. How could he possibly possess the orthodox lineage of Taoism?"

"My master told me that the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, and only a few people have mastered it over the centuries."

Furthermore, the Golden Light Talisman of Vertical Earth is incomplete, which makes the cultivation of this method even more difficult.

"If your master was still able to succeed in his cultivation under these circumstances, it's no wonder my master didn't care about his crime of theft."

"That old man's talent for cultivation is indeed undeniable, but it should also be related to his stubborn nature."

He spent his entire life cultivating this Golden Escape Technique, only finally succeeding in mastering it in his old age.

Zheng Zibu didn't speak, but just gave Zhao Zhen a deep look.

Although the breakthrough from zero to one is often the most difficult, Zhao Zhen should have already mastered the Golden Escape Technique when he first started his adventures in the martial arts world, right?

Even with Jin Guang Shangren's talent, it took him a lifetime to barely master it, but Zhao Zhen was able to successfully master the Golden Escape Flowing Light at the age of twenty. What terrifying talent is that?

Furthermore, according to his brother Lu Jin's previous letters, Zhao Zhen not only cultivates the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique like his master, but also has a wide variety of techniques, and he has a high level of expertise in each one!

Previously, he didn't quite understand why his brother Lu Jin would admire or even revere this person so much, but now, Zheng Zibu seems to understand a little better.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zibu suddenly spoke up: "Brother Zhao, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."

"Brother Zheng, please speak freely."

"I would like to borrow Brother Zhao's Golden Light Talisman to take a look. I know this may be a bit presumptuous, but..."

Before Zheng Zibu could finish speaking, Zhao Zhen interrupted him.

"What's there to be presumptuous about? This talisman originally belonged to your esteemed sect, so it's only natural that Brother Zheng wants to see it!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhen took out a Golden Light Talisman from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Zibu.

"Perfect timing! I also have many questions about the art of talismans that I would like to ask Brother Zheng. I hope Brother Zheng will be generous in his guidance."

"Haha, that's perfect. We still have a long way to go, so let's discuss things slowly along the way."

"Thank you, Brother Zheng."

"By the way, my brother Lu Jin wrote to me earlier, saying that he is also coming to the border to find you at the invitation of the Gao family. Judging from the time, he should have arrived at the Gao family by now, right?"

"He's here too? It's really not easy for the Left Gate Master to let him come to the border."

“Who says otherwise? My brother told me that he begged Master Zuo for a long time, and finally even brought up Brother Zhao’s glorious achievements outside the pass, before Master Zuo finally reluctantly agreed.”

"Ah this..."
