Why so helpless
Because Ye Zan felt that he had been tricked by that tower boss.
Generally speaking, there is nothing special about martial arts that needs to be kept secret, but that also depends on what kind of martial arts it is. Those very common and well-known exercises are of course nothing to keep secret, and it is no big deal if others know about them.
For example, among various sects, the inherited skills that are the foundation of establishing the Tao, once someone hears which sect they are a disciple of, they basically know what skills the other person is practicing without even asking. Therefore, whether it is kept secret or not, it actually makes no difference. There is no need to bother to cover up things that everyone knows.
However, if this skill easily arouses the covetousness of others and you still use it to show off to others, then you are asking for death. This is coveted, sometimes not because of how powerful the technique is, but because many things cannot be explained clearly.
Once upon a time in this world, a bloody incident occurred because of a non-existent technique. Because every so-called person who got the exercise had no idea that what they got was just a blank book. No one believed that they were telling the truth, and only thought that they were covering up.
Many people even rationally feel that what they are telling is the truth, but they cannot resist the temptation of "just in case". You must know that the road to Taoism is not a smooth road, but like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. No one wants to be squeezed by others. Therefore, if that "what if" can come true, it means that you will gain a huge advantage.
Therefore, for this "just in case", it is worth paying no matter how high the price is.
But here at Ye Zan, the skill of "Dongxu Lingquan Miaojing" was revealed by Nata Lao in just one sentence. There were so many people present, some on the right path and some on the devil's path, some close to Ye Zan, and some not close to Ye Zan. Even if these people have no ideas, after the news gets out, who can guarantee that others will have no ideas
This "Dongxu Lingquan Miaojing" is the method of enlightenment used by the famous Xuanqing Taoist ancestor thousands of years ago. It can definitely be regarded as a method that directly points to the Tao. Others don't care how harsh the conditions for practicing this technique are. Since you, Ye Zan, can practice, why can't others? You have two more eyes or more noses than others!
Moreover, if we study this cultivation condition in detail, it will involve other secrets of Ye Zan. Why can you, Ye Zan, build a thirty-sixth grade Dao foundation, and why can you produce three different golden elixirs? Why can you, Ye Zan, be able to become a flawless Taoist body the day after tomorrow with your qualifications
It can be said that Nata Lao just said this, and he was simply trying to trick Ye Zan into hiding.
So, did Nata always do it intentionally, or did he not take it into consideration due to the limitations of artificial intelligence? Ye Zan can't figure it out now. After all, he doesn't know what mechanism the artificial intelligence in this world works on.
However, Ta Lao said it and Li Luan asked it, could Ye Zan not answer it
In order to save the great weapon, Ye Zan had already shown that the difference between him and others was that he could still use magic under restrictions.
Therefore, there is no point in denying it.
What's more, Ye Zan's answer also involves the ownership of the treasure left by Xuanqing Daozu. He also didn't want the legacy of Xuanqing Daozu to be taken away by Li Luan of the Demonic Way, even though he still didn't know what the legacy was.
After hearing Ye Zan's answer, Li Luan was silent for a moment and asked, "Where did you get it from?"
"Well, I have no comment. I am a disciple of Yuqing Sect. It seems that there is nothing surprising about being able to obtain a technique from Xuanqing Daozu." Of course, Ye Zan would not say that this technique is Old Taoist Xuan Yuan gave it to him, and even if he said it, no one would believe it. In comparison, the reason of being a member of the Yuqing Sect is easier for people to accept. More details can be left to others to figure out on their own.
"No, this is impossible. Today's Yuqing Sect..." Li Luan wanted to say, today's Yuqing Sect has lost even many ordinary inheritances, and it is impossible to have the inheritance of Xuanqing Taoist Ancestor.
However, Ye Zan immediately interrupted the other party and said with a smile: "Today's Yuqing Sect is getting better and better, isn't it?"
Ye Zan's words were not only meant for Li Luan, but also for others.
Ye Zan's meaning was very clear. Yuqing Sect had indeed fallen to a third-rate sect, but now it has risen again. Why has the Jade Qing Sect changed so much recently compared to before? Just think about it for yourselves. Even Xuanzhen Taoist Ancestor’s Virtual God Realm has been created. It’s not surprising that there are Taoist ancestors Xuanqing’s Taoist inheritance.
Of course, from another aspect, if he really met that crazy person, Ye Zan's words might also trick Yu Qingzong. But there is no other way. It is impossible to publish the "Dongxu Lingquan Miaojing" anyway, so we can only block it with soldiers and water with earth.
After hearing Ye Zan's words, Li Luan was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into an extremely unpleasant laugh, and then said: "Okay, I will leave this ancestral treasure to you for safekeeping for the time being. I hope you won't worry about what happened today." Choose and regret!”
Li Luan was a naked threat.
Although, Li Luan's predecessor was a direct disciple of Xuanqing Taoist Ancestor. But now, he is a reborn spiritual being who has no feelings for Yuqingzong at all.
"Hey, I don't know how to write the word regret. If you have the ability, just let me go!" Ye Zan said without any sign of weakness.
"Although you are a person of the magic way, since you have come here, then follow the rules here and choose one magic weapon each to leave." Mr. Ta interjected, with a bit of regret in his tone. Obviously, seeing the chaos in the past turn into what it is now, one can't help but feel a little sad.
However, Li Luan didn't appreciate it, and snorted coldly and said: "No need, one day, everything here will be mine, so just let them be sent here temporarily!"
After saying this, Li Luan raised his hand and made a spell without asking Gu Feng and Zou Jishi for their opinions. Their figures suddenly turned into countless light spots and disappeared.
Watching Li Luan and the other demonic people leave, the tower veteran turned his attention to Ye Zan and said, "The same goes for you. Each of you can choose a magic weapon here, and after choosing it, you will be sent out of here."
This Ta Lao actually stopped mentioning the Taoist ancestor's treasure. After saying this, his figure blurred for a while, and he was obviously ready to disappear.
Ye Zan was not happy when he saw it. After the trick, he wanted to run away. How can there be such a good thing in the world, so he immediately shouted: "Mr. Ta, please wait a moment!"
Obviously, there are some rules that restrict this Ta Lao. Therefore, upon hearing Ye Zan's cry, Ta Lao's disappearing figure suddenly froze, and then became clear again.
"My little friend, is there anything else you can do?" Mr. Ta asked reluctantly.
"Haha, Mr. Ta, what you did is not authentic." Ye Zan sneered and walked up to Mr. Ta.
"What, I don't quite understand. What do you mean by this?" If Mr. Ta had any shame, he must be extremely thick-skinned. He actually pretended to be confused without any blush.
"Perhaps you are old and have a bad memory. But it doesn't matter. I can remind you. As for the treasure left behind by the Xuanqing Dao Ancestor, you just said it in front of so many people. I am more qualified to inherit than that Li Luan, have you forgotten it now?" Although Ye Zan said it politely, his tone was full of ridicule.
Upon hearing this, Ta Lao's figure visibly shook a few times, as if the image signal had been interfered with. Then, after his figure stabilized, Ta Lao squeezed out a smile on his face and said to Ye Zan: "What I said is right, I did say so. However, I only said that compared to Li Luan, I have more Qualification for inheritance, but it does not say that I will definitely be able to inherit the Taoist ancestor's treasure. Since I have misunderstood you, I will make a decision and allow you to choose two magic weapons. I don't know what you mean. how?"
Damn it, can artificial intelligence also play sophistry? Hearing Ta Lao's answer, Ye Zan was really angry. He had never seen such a shameless "person" before!
"Does Ta Lao think that since Li Luan is gone, my shield is no longer useful to you?" Ye Zan said bitterly.
Previously, when facing Li Luan, Ta Lao was not so confident in his words, so he pushed Ye Zan out to trick him. Obviously, Li Luan had something in his hands, which was why Ta Lao seemed quite afraid.
Although, Ye Zan didn't know what Li Luan had in his hands. However, based on Ta Lao's performance, he could infer that as soon as that thing was used, Ta Lao would have to choose a successor for the Dao Ancestor's legacy.
Otherwise, either Li Luan would get the inheritance rights directly from Ta Lao, or Ta Lao would not need to push Ye Zan out. Since Ta Lao pushed Ye Zan out, and Li Luan could only give up and leave, it meant that Li Luan could start the inheritance process, but it could not affect the inheritance rules of the inheritance process.
But no matter what, Ye Zan can at least know one thing, that is, no matter what kind of weapon spirit this tower master is, he still needs to be bound by laws.
After hearing Ye Zan's words, Ta Lao made a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean by this, little friend?"
"It doesn't mean anything. I'm just saying that this time you were able to push me out as a shield, but I'm afraid you won't be so lucky next time. I heard that this fairy palace appears once in five hundred years, and Li Luan didn't succeed this time. So what about next time? Five hundred years doesn't seem like a long time for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul realm. But I'm unlucky. Maybe you sold me out. You will be killed by Li Luan as soon as you go out." At this point, Ye Zan sneered twice, and then said: "Haha, I wonder if there will be any unlucky people who can use this as a shield for you in five hundred years."
"Uh, well, it's not that serious. What I said is a bit alarmist." Although Mr. Ta didn't admit it, his body still showed some guilt.
Indeed, as Ye Zan said, five hundred years is not that long for a Nascent Soul Ancestor. What's more, will Li Luan stop at the Nascent Soul realm? In any case, Li Luan's skeletons had also reached the realm of Heaven. Even though they had experienced body death and Tao destruction, their foundation was still there.
In other words, Li Luan today, in their life form, is like a genius among humans, born with extremely high qualifications. Even though today's Shenhua Realm is far inferior to what it was ten thousand years ago, with Li Luan's qualifications, if nothing unexpected happens, he should not have much of a problem cultivating to the realm of Yuan Shen or even Dharma.
Then, it is almost certain that after five hundred years, the Immortal Palace will reappear, and Li Luan will definitely come here again. When that time comes, who else can Mr. Tower turn to as a shield? I'm afraid Ta Lao can only obediently hand over Daozu's treasure to Li Luan.
"Yeah, I'm being alarmist. Okay, I won't say anything else. Mr. Ta, please do what you want. I'll just grab a magic weapon. After all, after I go out, I'll probably get it for others." Ye Zan Without saying anything more, he turned around and walked to the treasure rack next to him, ready to pick up a magic weapon and leave.
"Wait a minute!" Mr. Ta finally couldn't help it anymore. He thought about Ye Zan's words over and over again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Zan's words might really become a reality. Although, neither Ye Zan nor Li Luan was the best candidate to inherit the Dao Ancestor's legacy in his mind. But if you have to choose one between the two, Ye Zan, as a member of the Yuqing sect and the true successor of Xuanqing Taoist ancestor, is undoubtedly more suitable than Li Luan.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Ta?" Ye Zan stopped and turned around and asked.
"This..." Mr. Ta glanced at the curious crowd behind Ye Zan, then waved his hand, and a barrier suddenly covered him and Ye Zan.
Ye Zan looked around and saw that those people had been blocked out by the barrier. He turned around and said to Mr. Ta: "What is Mr. Ta doing? He still feels that he has not tricked me enough, so he can sit down more firmly for me." Why do you need more people to kill a successor for you? You just gave the Taozu's treasure to Li Luan, so why bother me, a little person?"
Hearing Ye Zan's words, Ta Lao looked a little embarrassed and said: "Little friend, don't be too worried. I don't mean to embarrass you. It's just that this ancestral treasure, according to your current cultivation level, is still far away." There is no way to inherit.”
"Really! Then you pushed me out, didn't you mean to trick me?" Ye Zan asked unceremoniously.
"Don't be impatient, little friend. I haven't finished what I said yet." Mr. Ta quickly interrupted Ye Zan. Otherwise, I really don't know what Ye Zan would say. Then he explained: "What I mean, little friend's cultivation level , although it is not possible to inherit the Dao Ancestor's legacy, the identity of the successor can be determined first. In this way, there will be no chance for Li Luan, and the little friend will not fully inherit the Dao Ancestor's legacy until his cultivation is complete. It’s not too late for treasure.”
"Haha, that's only if I can survive until then." Ye Zan said without appreciation at all. (To be continued.)
