CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 300: ENLIGHTENMENT BENEATH THE VAJRA TREASURE TREE

Helian Yunji’s neck vertebrae crackled continuously as he was forced to lower his head.

He struggled with all his might, veins popping on his neck, his face flushed red, yet he still couldn’t stop himself from bowing down.

As a Great Grandmaster, how could he easily submit like this?

Lines of Immortal Runes densely covered Helian Yunji’s body, with immortal fog spiraling around him, a deluge of radiant rain surged from his flesh, as if about to ascend in flight.

However, despite exerting all his efforts, he seemed only to pierce through the fog, catching a glimpse of his opponent’s hazy yet terrifying true form, as unattainable as a Heavenly God.

For a moment, Helian Yunji truly felt what despair meant.

He exhausted all his strength only to witness the truth, realizing the vast difference between them.

Lu Zizai, clad in plain hempen clothes, with eyes as clear as a mountain spring, appeared to be merely a youthful figure, but in Helian Yunji’s eyes, he was entirely different now; Tao Rhythms surrounded him, majestic Heavenly Light akin to ten suns blazing in the sky were contained within his flesh.

Helian Yunji found the light too dazzling to open his eyes, tears unwittingly streaming from the corners.

His heart trembled with realization of the comments some made about Lu Zizai, suggesting not to judge him by conventional standards, but to regard him with the vision of road expansion.

"Lu Zizai retraces his journey; overcoming barriers is insignificant to him. Each step he takes is to contemplate the future and to pave the way for an entire rebirth system!"

This was a high praise from an old senior.

Thinking of this, Helian Yunji felt a shiver through his soul, acknowledging that using current standards to assess Lu Zizai’s strength was completely inappropriate.

If compared within the same realm, the opponent could calmly overlook such adversaries.

Helian Yunji knew of Lu Zizai and had secretly investigated him; now he felt heavily burdened, realizing the opponent had grown even stronger since the last time.

"Crack!"

Helian Yunji’s entire spine crackled and bent down despite exerting all his Taoist skills, realizing only the truth, which was a significant blow to him.

In an instant, the Immortal Runes on his body dimmed.

Helian Yunji couldn’t resist, facing that calm-looking youth, bowing his head as well as bending at the waist.

"Enough." Lu Zizai waved his hand.

Immediately Helian Yunji felt a release, the pressure, as heavy as Feixian Mountain, disappeared from his body.

He stood up at once, realizing the opponent had shown leniency; he felt embarrassed yet also empty and stood there silently with complex emotions.

"If there are any further issues, discuss them with Yu Gen Sheng." Lu Zizai’s words were simple yet calm. He then looked away towards another person nearby.

Su Yuxiao instantly tensed up, despite being a Great Grandmaster on the Immortal Road, he felt a sense of alarm; how could his stature lead to this?

Yet, he precisely had this sensation, like being overlooked by a Heavenly Immortal in a cloud-filled Grotto Heaven, exploding with countless rays of light.

Two months ago, he met Lu Zizai and suffered a severe loss, and now he realized the gap had widened even more.

"Crack!"

Great Grandmaster Su Yuxiao’s entire spinal bone crackled, his feet rooted into the ground. He too bent over, unable to resist the invisible pressure no matter how hard he tried.

He was furious and then horrified; it’s not about fearing an opponent with high starting point but dreading the opponent who, upon each meeting, shows immense advancement in Taoist skills, making the gap insurmountable.

Lu Zizai looked at him without saying anything, merely observing briefly.

To outsiders, it seemed Lu Zizai just glanced back, and Great Grandmaster Su Yuxiao directly bowed in respect.

Then, Lu Zizai took a step forward, leaving a glowing footprint, reaching the horizon’s end.

He left the Immortal Tomb with few words.

This place fell into silence.

Many were shocked; two Great Grandmasters unexpectedly bowed their heads consecutively upon seeing that youth.

Everyone knew this was not voluntary!

Helian Yunji’s face alternated between green and white, standing still.

Besides looking uncomfortable, Su Yuxiao also felt sizable pressure; the opponent spoke not a word to him, obviously showing a colder attitude.

He couldn’t act any further in such a situation. Otherwise, if Lu Zizai reappeared, it would mean more than just loss of face.

Many people had fluctuating emotions, eager to discuss heatedly, but because it involved the face of two Great Grandmasters, all chose silence for now.

At the horizon, an elderly man in gray appeared, his wide sleeves fluttering; it was Yu Gen Sheng. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Helian Yunji, cupping his hands in respect.

"Friend, please this way. Let’s chat. Actually, this was merely a trivial contest among the younger generation and is not worth mentioning."

Helian Yunji felt a pent-up anger but knew the heavens wouldn’t overturn now, and Yu Gen Sheng was giving him an out, inviting him to the Mountain City to discuss away from here.

He nodded to Su Yuxiao, acknowledging his favor.

Yu Gen Sheng ignored Su Yuxiao, leaving him with a sullen face, disappearing without a word.

The remaining shadows of the several Great Grandmasters vanished swiftly.

"The Immortal Control Sect is known as an immortal Taoist, and my Helian Family even has an Old Heavenly Immortal; yet you act with such abandon..." Helian Yunji, unable to suppress his anger, spoke up while on the way.

Yu Gen Sheng chuckled, "Friend, calm down, competition among young ones shouldn’t escalate to this level. We’ve all had our youthful adrenaline; who hasn’t been hot-blooded?"

Then, he seriously added, "The Immortal Road invited the rebirth path and Esoteric Buddhists here to participate in major events; I believe you do not wish to disrupt the tacit understanding reached between Ancestor Masters, do you?"
