The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou's pupils contracted, and after taking a deep breath, he fell silent.

Because he could clearly sense that Li Qingshan was not lying, and the injuries on the Yin-Yang Messenger were enough to prove it.

The emotional fluctuations emanating from the little girl hiding nearby further confirm this.

That's precisely why Old Zhou was somewhat moved.

Three moves?!

Could I have done that at Li Qingshan's age or level of understanding?

After a moment's thought, Old Zhou shook his head slightly. He was certain that he couldn't do it.

Unless, unless one's own essence, energy, and spirit reach their peak, and one's own path is also cleared, one can borrow the power of heaven and earth.

Otherwise, there would be no way he could have killed the other party.

If time is allowed to wear them down, then it's possible.

Thinking of this, Old Zhou nodded slightly, but his words carried a hint of bitterness.

"It's a good thing that talented people emerge in every generation."

It's a pity you haven't yet grasped your own path and forged your own path to becoming a grandmaster.

Looking at the desolate night scene outside the window, Old Zhou sighed softly, his eyes filled with regret.

It seemed as if he was lamenting Li Qingshan's path of cultivation, and also as if he was reminiscing about his own past.

"Please enlighten me, Master Zhou, on how I should embark on the path to becoming a master."

After all, I, a junior, haven't received systematic instruction; I only know that I can become a master using three methods.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou glanced at Xiao Ruoxue, who was quietly keeping a low profile, and then casually sat down on a chair and began to offer his guidance.

"Three methods, not bad, you know more than I thought."

Unfortunately, the information remains hidden. Without guidance, even if one achieves mastery through the so-called third method, it will all be for naught in the end.

Old Zhou sighed softly and continued:

"I was the same way back then. It was only after the defendant pointed it out that I realized the truth. It's a pity that I wasted half my life and squandered my precious youth."

As he spoke, Old Zhou shook his head slightly, and the light around him gathered slightly at that moment. In an instant, a phantom figure floated behind him.

Boom!

This scene was like a thunderbolt, directly shocking Li Qingshan and Xiao Ruoxue around him.

"This...how is this possible? Could it be a miracle?!"

Xiao Ruoxue exclaimed in surprise.

Li Qingshan, standing to the side, also showed immense shock in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"Dharma form?!"

Old Zhou nodded, then denied it.

"That's right, but not entirely correct."

What I am using now is merely a general trend of heaven and earth, not a Dharma form, but it is close enough.

Upon reaching the Celestial Realm, one can become like the Dharma Body in folk tales, soaring through the air, commanding wind and rain, overturning rivers and seas, and possessing omnipotence.

Then Old Zhou began to explain why "Dharma Form" was called a kind of great power of heaven and earth.

In fact, humans are also a manifestation of the universe.

And the Dharma form that one conjures up can naturally also bear this.

As for other forces, such as the blooming of white lotuses, the glint of swords, the might of mountains and armies of the White Lotus Pure Land Sect, and so on, they are all the same.

It's just that everyone has their own destiny, so the paths they take are different.

"I see?!"

Li Qingshan suddenly realized that all the doubts in his mind had been instantly resolved, and he felt enlightened.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoxue couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"I see. No wonder you seniors were unwilling to take pills to break through. Even though your essence, qi, and spirit were very strong, you still didn't walk the path to becoming a grandmaster."

People often say that true teachings can be conveyed in a single sentence, while false teachings can fill countless volumes; this is no exaggeration.

Moreover, at this moment, Elder Zhou was revealing his power to the two of them, which can be described as giving his all.

It can be said that after this, even if the two of them become masters through the second method, they will have a very high chance of becoming celestial beings in the future.

"Thank you so much for your guidance, Professor Zhou. I have benefited greatly from it and am deeply grateful!"

Li Qingshan bowed deeply to Old Zhou and said with great emotion.

Old Zhou waved his hand dismissively and said with a faint smile:

"It's alright, Qingshan, you don't need to be like this. With your talent, you will surely achieve great things in the future."

Even if I don't guide you today, you will be able to forge a different path on your own in the future.

It's a pity I'm too old, otherwise I could have witnessed so many more of your glories.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan's heart tightened suddenly, and he quickly asked.

"I wonder how much longer you have left to live, senior?"

Old Zhou waved his hand dismissively and said.

"Not many left, at most two or three hundred years."

Li Qingshan: ? ?

Two or three hundred years?

Ordinary people only live for a few decades. Those who are lucky can become centenarians, while those who are unlucky may not even live past thirty.

Upon seeing this, Old Zhou laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Kid, don't think too much about it."

We who cultivate ourselves should take life and death lightly and not worry about the road ahead.

Look at Guo Xiaotian, a Grandmaster-level expert who still had over a hundred years left to live, yet he ultimately died at my hands.

Old Zhou said, completely unconcerned.

"Besides, I may not even live to see that day."

Not just me, but everyone is the same; only one's own strength can break through this impasse.

Li Qingshan nodded, indicating that he had learned something.

But up to this point, he hasn't sensed any power or influence.

Perhaps the time is not right, or perhaps my own experience and knowledge are not yet sufficient.

Li Qingshan wasn't in a hurry for all of this, after all, he had only just reached the late stage of True Qi.

It will take more time to break through to the peak of True Qi, or even the Grandmaster realm.

"By the way, just wait here. Within a day, the White Lotus Pure World Sect will be wiped out. With me here, you'll be safe."

After finishing his speech, Mr. Zhou prepared to leave.

At this moment, Li Qingshan quickly stopped Old Zhou.

"Please wait a moment, Elder Zhou. I have another request to make, and I hope you will grant it."

Li Qingshan said:

"The lady accompanying me is Xiao Ruoxue, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion. She has no connection with the White Lotus Pure World Sect. I hope Elder Zhou can offer her some assistance."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhou nodded slightly and replied:

"It's alright, I understand."

After saying that, Old Zhou drifted away, taking a single step that took him dozens of feet away.

By the time Li Qingshan observed the other person's posture, he discovered that the other person had already left sometime earlier.

"So powerful! As expected of a true grandmaster, it's very likely that Elder Zhou has already reached the Celestial Realm."

Li Qingshan watched Old Zhou walk away and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Ruoxue nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Elder Zhou's strength is comparable to that of a god; every move he makes exudes an inexplicable power."

The masters I've encountered before seem to be nothing more than pretty faces; they're nowhere near as good as him.

At this point, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Xiao Ruoxue's face.
