Chapter 513: Chapter 299: Even Great Grandmasters Must Bow Before Me (Part 3)
Although there were only two words, Qin Ming immediately felt at ease.
“This time, I’ve caused trouble for Brother Lu,” Qin Ming said, understanding that the matter couldn’t be brushed aside with a single sentence, and Lu Zizai would certainly have to intervene personally.
“I asked you to come here, how could I just watch you get into trouble? This time… it’s fine.” Lu Zizai seemed to possess some mysterious power, with simple and calm words that could instill a strong sense of faith in people.
Wu Yaizu and Xiang Yiwu were moved.
After all, it was the Helian Family, who would dare to provoke them easily.
Lu Zizai said, “It’s not as serious as it seems, this time they invited people from Newborn Road and the Esoteric Buddhism here. If someone from the Outer World acts recklessly and causes trouble, it destroys the formed tacit understanding.”
Qin Ming and several others were stunned by his words; this exploration was not as peaceful as they had imagined?
The Immortal Road was famous for its ‘singularity’ and dominance, yet it was their high-levels who earnestly invited people, which upon careful thought seemed quite serious.
But at the Immortal Tomb, it was clearly sacred and peaceful, with even the weeds on the tomb densely filled with Spiritual Medicine, Treasure Trees, and more.
Lu Zizai assured them, saying, “Don’t overestimate yourselves, the old monsters of the Helian Family are aloof; they won’t even glance at you.”
He then added, “And the Ancestor Masters of the Immortal Road are the top Immortal Seeds of their respective eras. Not everyone will be like Cao Qianqiu. Especially in the Great Opening Era, exceptional young talents like you are more the merrier for the Immortal Road, hoping you’ll grow up quickly.”
“Ah?” Wu Yaizu was surprised.
Lu Zizai said, “Look at the big picture; once the great exploration begins, it won’t end shortly. During this period, they hope many capable youths like you will ascend, all serving as the sharpest blades in the opening war. You will need to emerge batch after batch.”
Suddenly, several people understood his point.
Lu Zizai said, “In times like this, it’s not the rapid growth of geniuses that is feared, but the fear of no talents to rely on in the end.”
Subsequently, Lu Zizai couldn’t help but reveal a truth, “In fact, each exploration is almost forced upon us; we sense the approaching crisis, wishing to fend off enemies externally.”
Yu Gen Sheng nodded, saying, “The last exploration almost wiped out the accumulated outstanding talents of several generations. Fortunately, those who survived eventually became great.”
These simple yet truthful words carried a slight tinge of bloodiness.
However, the Immortal Tomb here was obviously very peaceful, and Wu Yaizu, Xiang Yiwu, and others were temporarily clueless about where the crisis lay.
Was there a powerful external enemy, or was something incredibly terrifying about to emerge from the big tomb?
Lu Zizai did not elaborate on this issue and said, “Things are not yet certain. After the Immortal Road arrived here, they merely sensed something temporarily. They invited people from Newborn Road, Esoteric Buddhism, and even the Alien Species.”
“At this stage, don’t concern yourselves with other matters. First, gain benefits from the Immortal Tomb and quickly convert them into your own power.”
“No wonder the Immortal Road opened up, implying a major crisis might break out,” Wu Yaizu said.
Lu Zizai said, “Seize the time to comprehend the Scripture, obtain the Miracle Medicine beneficial to yourself, and fully pursue Creation. With me here, there’s no need to worry.”
Suddenly, the three youths felt a deep sense of reassurance.
“Brother Lu, how is the research on the Immortal Contract going?” Qin Ming asked.
Lu Zizai’s demeanor was calm, saying, “There is a way to use it in reverse; the Immortal Contract has flaws, and we can use it to counter them. If anyone dares to cross the line, there will surely be retaliation from the other side. Everything can be mutually assured, making each side cautious in its use.”
In the Immortal Tomb Area, most of the experts and seeds from various paths were gathered here.
The incident in the Mountain City was still fermenting, with all parties in heated discussion.
Many believed that Qin Ming should best leave, or it could end badly.
Many knew he had a Grandmaster Level gift, but to reach that height would take centuries.
At this stage, he still needed to lay low because there were too many talents who perished midway.
Moreover, even if the Newborn Road had high-ups who appreciated him, causing a big stir and provoking the old monsters from the Helian Family would not end well.
“Isn’t it strange that no experts from the Helian Family have emerged?”
The most shocking part was that one of the parties involved in this matter actually showed up, and it was Qin Ming, considered needing to escape far away, who arrived at the Immortal Tomb Territory.
For a moment, many were stunned.
Was he a fool seeking death? Not only did he not retreat, but he dared to come here, unafraid of angering and provoking the Helian Family to take ruthless action?
“Guess they figured running away would just get him chased down.”
Some speculated that Qin Ming was simply giving up entirely.
Undoubtedly, now few dared to approach Qin Ming, all considerate of the Helian Family’s feelings. Those Great Yu Nobles who had once wooed or invited him to banquets now all practically distanced themselves, afraid of getting implicated.
“Guess he’ll run into trouble.” Even some Immortal Seeds said so.
“He’s walking a narrow path, daring to come to the Immortal Tomb to seek Enlightenment. Having the chance to enter doesn’t guarantee a safe departure,” some said cynically.
Evidently, the closer it gets to such pivotal moments, the more the world’s mundane warmth and cold are exposed.
Though they couldn’t be blamed either, as people naturally seek fortune and avoid disaster, the situation of seeing warm and cold human relationships is all too normal.
“Brother, you have quite the courage!” said a Divine Seed of the Esoteric Buddhism, who was actually on par with Zhao Qingcheng, the figurehead Cheng Cheng.
The old monster from the Immortal Control Sect who once ventured into the Fourth Forbidden Land to dig up that unparalleled force from Esoteric Buddhism indeed left many younger generations of the Esoteric Buddhism feeling both furious and resentful.
