224. Chapter 224 Patriarch Think Twice!
Qingyun Laozu's face showed a skeptical expression, full of disbelief.
Are you sure you're not joking with Laozu?
A new human born in the new era, only twenty-one years old.
Not only has he reached the realm of the top quasi-saint, but he has also even defeated a saint, surpassing the Xian'ao Demon Saint who is ranked far above Qingyun Laozu?
This sounds like a myth, no matter how you listen to it.
Such an outrageous story, even in ancient times, no one would dare to tell it, right?
Who gave this little guy, Zuoqiu, such audacity to dare to deceive Qingyun Laozu face to face?
"Laozu, the disciple knows that this news is indeed hard to believe, but it is true!"
Zuoqiu Dao Ren, who was sweating under Laozu's gaze, felt immense pressure and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He understands Laozu's current reaction and mood very well.
In fact, even though he witnessed Liu Zimo's incredible feat of beheading the Xian'ao Demon Saint with a single sword, when he thinks back to it, he still finds it too fantastical, feeling incredibly unbelievable, as if it were a dream.
And Qingyun Laozu has just returned and has not heard of Liu Zimo's reputation, nor has he personally witnessed the entire process of Liu Zimo killing the Xian'ao Demon Saint. It is normal for him to have such doubts.
"Liu Zimo is not only the son of the era's fortune, but his own cultivation talent is also extremely extraordinary!
Since his spiritual power erupted until now, he has only taken two short years to advance to the top quasi-saint realm that is comparable to the saint realm!
Such talent, even in ancient times, can definitely be considered unprecedented!"
Listening to Zuoqiu Dao Ren's explanation, both his expression and tone were sincere. Qingyun Laozu narrowed his eyes and still shook his head slightly, still not quite believing.
"What you have seen with your own eyes may not necessarily be true!"
"And, you have not reached the realm of the true saint, so you do not know the profundity of the true saint."
"That Xian'ao Demon Saint is at the peak of the true saint realm. Even though some of its cultivation has been suppressed after its return, a true saint is still a true saint. It cannot be killed by just one or a few quasi-saints!"
Below the saint realm, all are ants.
This is definitely not an empty statement.
After reaching the saint realm, both in terms of life level and cultivation strength, they have far surpassed the ordinary. That's why there has always been talk of transcending the ordinary and entering the saint realm in the cultivation world.
Under normal circumstances, even if a true saint stands still and allows ten or a hundred top quasi-saints to attack continuously, they would never be able to harm even a single hair of the true saint.
The body of a true saint, the intent of a true saint, has a defense capability that is more than a hundred times stronger than that of a quasi-saint!
Although the Xian'ao Demon Saint's cultivation is not at its peak, its demon saint body is not fake.
As a contemporary saint, Qingyun Laozu is well aware of the defensive capabilities of the Xian'ao Demon Saint.
The Golden Turtle has always been known for its thick and strong defense, excelling in the art of defense. After reaching the realm of the Saints, its defensive abilities ranked first among all the Saints.
It can be said without reservation that among the sixty-eight Great Saints of that year, only the Primordial Ancestor, the Confucian Sage, and the Netherworld Ancestor could barely break through the turtle shell of the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint.
Other Saints, including the Azure Cloud Ancestor, would always end up being passively beaten whenever they sparred with the Immortal Turtle Ancestor.
That's why he found it particularly difficult to accept and simply couldn't believe the news that the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint had died at the hands of a human descendant.
Liu Zimo, a top-tier quasi-Saint, even if he had extraordinary talent and had comprehended two or even three complete versions of the Great Dao Laws in advance, could his attacks really be more formidable than those of the true Saints?
Not to mention beheading the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint and smashing its true body into minced meat.
Even if the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint lay there motionless, without offering any resistance, he would never be able to harm the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint in the slightest!
"If my speculation is correct, this so-called Heaven-defying Slaying of Saints should only be a deception!"
"However, it is indeed quite impressive that Liu Zimo was able to persuade the Immortal Turtle to cooperate with him in acting!"
"Let me see where he is now. With a little investigation, some questions will naturally be answered!"
Upon hearing the Azure Cloud Ancestor's speculation, Zuoqiu Daoist couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What does he mean?
The Ancestor still doesn't believe it?
And seeing the contemptuous expression on the Ancestor's face when mentioning Liu Zimo, it directly made Zuoqiu Daoist's heart tremble, and an uneasy feeling instantly rose in his heart.
Sure enough, upon hearing the last sentence spoken by the Ancestor, Zuoqiu Daoist was frightened to the core.
Oh my Ancestor, this is not how you should go about it!
Even if you don't believe it, you can't just be so reckless!
"Ancestor, please think twice!"
In order to prevent the Ancestor from acting recklessly and offending Liu Zimo, Zuoqiu Daoist rushed straight to the Azure Cloud Ancestor, clasping his hands around the Ancestor's legs and pleading loudly:
"Regardless of whether Liu Zimo is performing a double act with the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint, his own strength should never be underestimated!"
"And, the fact that the Azure Cloud Palace was able to settle in Longhai City and accumulate enough sect luck ahead of other sects in such a short period of time is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Liu's care. We cannot burn bridges and abandon our principles!"
The Azure Cloud Ancestor frowned, looking down at this disciple who lacked courage.
This little Taoist priest was clearly frightened by Liu Zimo.
He even doubted the strength of his own Ancestor. Did he think that the Azure Cloud Ancestor might not be a match for Liu Zimo?
Absolutely absurd!
When did the dignity of a mere quasi-Saint mortal surpass that of a true Saint like him?
If before, when he said he wanted to bring Liu Zimo in for questioning, it was just a joke.
But now, he really wants to meet this "Heaven-defying Saint" new human!
Swish!
The holy aura suddenly spread out, instantly enveloping the entire Earth realm.
Soon, he found the spiritual energy secret realm mentioned by Zuoqiu Daoren, as well as the three ancient spirit beasts stationed within the secret realm.
"The main character isn't here?"
He searched the spiritual energy secret realm and the entire Luo State City, but he never detected Liu Zimo's presence.
Qingyun Ancestor continued to expand the search range, his divine sense reaching thousands of miles, and he screened all the human cities on Earth.
The result was still nothing.
He didn't find any trace of the young quasi-saint that Zuoqiu Daoren mentioned.
"What's going on? Could it be that the hidden Xian'ao Demon Saint has made a move?"
Qingyun Ancestor muttered to himself, speculating in his mind.
He didn't believe that a mere quasi-saint had the ability to hide from his divine sense.
The only explanation was that Liu Zimo was really in cahoots with the Xian'ao Demon Saint.
The reason why he couldn't find Liu Zimo's trace even after searching the entire Earth realm must be because the Xian'ao Demon Saint had secretly interfered.
Little did he know, Liu Zimo, who he had been searching for throughout the Earth realm, was standing behind him, silently observing the ancient lock shadow floating above his head.
"Just like the Xian'ao Demon Saint, this lock shadow on Qingyun Ancestor's head is also a stone lock!"
"Could it be that because they have already transcended into saints, their cultivation aptitude has undergone a qualitative change, and even this lock shadow has begun to return to its original state?"
Liu Zimo speculated in his mind.
This was the second saint he had encountered in this world.
The material of the lock shadow on the heads of the two saints was exactly the same, both were grayish-white stone locks that seemed substantial.
Accompanied by no auspicious clouds and no dazzling light, they looked just like real stone locks, plain and unremarkable, completely incompatible with their identities as saints.
If only one saint was like this, it could still be explained as a coincidence.
But if the second saint was also like this, it couldn't be explained simply as a coincidence.
[Binding successful! Your good brother Qingyun True Saint is online, currently available binding targets (88/100)]
Liu Zimo successfully locked onto the stone lock in front of him, and his spiritual power cultivation in his sea of consciousness once again lost nearly a hundred years.
Liu Zimo didn't feel the slightest heartache about this.
High investment brings high returns.
Previously, he had also spent a hundred years of spiritual power cultivation to bind the Xian'ao Demon Saint.
As a result, in less than a day, he received ten thousand years of spiritual power cultivation in return, a profit return of a hundred times. How could he possibly lose out?
At this moment, Zuoqiu Daoren, who was clinging to Qingyun Ancestor's thigh and constantly begging him to calm down, suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened as he stared straight at Qingyun Ancestor's back.
Liu Zimo's figure appeared mysteriously, revealing his form from the state of invisibility.
Seeing that Zuoqiu Daoren had already discovered his presence, Liu Zimo politely smiled and nodded at him.
"Forget it, this Liu Zimo is cunning. He knew that this saint was returning, so he hid in advance!"
Qingyun Ancestor also withdrew his divine sense at this time and muttered to himself.
"But a monk can't run away from the temple. As long as he is still in this realm, there will be a day when he will show himself. That old Xian'ao guy can't protect him forever!"
Until now, Qingyun Ancestor still firmly believed that Liu Zimo and the Xian'ao Demon Saint were in cahoots.
The reason why he couldn't find Liu Zimo was definitely the doing of the Xian'ao Demon Saint.
And the so-called Heaven-defying Saint, from beginning to end, was just a joke.
Only quasi-saints like Zuoqiu and the others, who had no insight, would be deceived by such tricks.
Upon hearing Qingyun Ancestor's words, Zuoqiu Daoren's figure stiffened, and when he looked up and saw Liu Zimo's smiling gaze, he instantly felt extremely embarrassed, his face turning red.
What was this?
Talking behind someone's back, and the main character directly heard it!
What made Zuoqiu Daoren even more shocked was that even though Liu Zimo had already revealed his true form, their ancestor still hadn't discovered his presence!
What did this mean?
This meant that there was no empty reputation under the famous name, and Liu Zimo's strength was not a result of boasting!
Fortunately, the ancestor had good manners and didn't say anything too excessive or threaten Liu Zimo and his family.
Otherwise, their ancestor might really become the second Xian'ao Demon Saint!
Their entire sect had just welcomed back the ancestor with great difficulty, they couldn't afford to have anything happen on the day of his return!
"Ancestor!"
Zuoqiu Daoren finally couldn't help but speak up and remind:
"Fellow Daoist Liu... has arrived!" (End of this chapter)
