Make a choice!
Yang Qi vaguely understood the gray-robed old man's intention of setting such a test. The words "choose and give up" are simple to say, but it is not easy to do it.
The most important thing in making choices is not what to take, but what to give up!
In the path of cultivation, one fights with the heavens, fights with people, fights for opportunities, fights for resources, fights for treasures, and fights for anything that can help one's cultivation. Not to mention the martial arts practitioners, even the martial arts kings, martial arts emperors, and even the martial arts emperors are all fighting, this is taking!
It is easy to take, but hard to give up. Who would give up the opportunity that is in their hands? In order to fight for the treasure, even brothers and masters and apprentices may turn against each other, let alone give up voluntarily.
"That's right!" The gray-robed old man nodded slightly and continued, "I released both treasures on purpose to test your choices. Originally, I was most optimistic about the kid from the Church of Light. But unfortunately, he was too greedy and ended up getting nothing. If he gave up the moment you got the treasure, I would release another treasure and let him get it."
Release another treasure
Yang Qi blinked his eyes. If Xiang Yun knew that after he gave up, a treasure would be sent to him, I wonder what his expression would be. Unfortunately, Xiang Yun overestimated himself and underestimated Yang Qi. He thought he could kill Yang Qi and get the Yun Shen Pearl, but in the end he lost the treasure and the opportunity.
“As for you, kid, you have never let me down, whether it’s dealing with friends or competing for opportunities.” The gray-robed old man’s eyes fell on Yang Qi and chuckled.
"Thank you for your compliment, senior." Yang Qi said modestly.
When opportunities come, he will fight and grab them, but he has his own bottom line, which is his principle! The higher and deeper one goes on the path of cultivation, the longer one's life span will be. If one does not have a firm heart for martial arts and does not adhere to unchanging principles, one will inevitably lose oneself in the long years!
"Since you have passed the test, you are eligible to obtain the opportunity left by my master." The gray-robed old man said lightly.
"Senior Purple Emperor?"
Yang Qi exclaimed. The owner of the Wu Wang puppet was Zi Huang. But what was in front of him was clearly the cave of Yuwai Wu Wang. Could it be that all this was deliberately arranged by Senior Zi Huang
"That little fellow Zi Huang?" The grey-robed old man was startled, then chuckled and said, "Zi Huang is not my master."
What
As soon as these words came out, Yang Qi's face changed drastically, and he looked at the gray-robed old man in front of him with disbelief. It turned out that Zi Huang was not the owner of the Wu Wang puppet, but the super power has always spread that the one guarding Zi Huang's secret realm is a Wu Wang puppet obtained by Zi Huang!
“Senior, isn’t your master Senior Zi Huang?” Yang Qi looked at the gray-robed old man in disbelief.
“Not only is my master not that little Zi Huang guy, but even the entire secret realm, strictly speaking, does not belong to that little Zi Huang guy. He and I are just a cooperative relationship.” The gray-robed old man chuckled.
Even the secret realm doesn’t belong to Zi Huang
After hearing the old man's words, Yang Qi was completely stunned. This was completely different from the rumors about the major superpowers in Zichen Continent!
“But, on Zichen Continent, it is clearly said that Zihuang is the master of the predecessor…” Yang Qi said in astonishment.
"You also said it was just a rumor, so it's not surprising if it's not true." The gray-robed old man said lightly.
"this… "
Yang Qi was stunned. He knew that rumors were not something that could be trusted completely, but he didn't expect that even the rumors about the Purple Emperor Secret Realm were completely wrong.
“But why do the super powers with martial kings in charge spread the news in this way?” Yang Qi looked at the gray-robed old man and asked the doubts in his heart.
“Except you, no one has asked me this question.” The gray-robed old man said softly.
Yang Qi's mouth twitched, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem strange. The legend of the Purple Emperor Secret Realm was spread all over the Zichen Continent, so who would specifically ask the Wu Wang puppet about something that was well known? If they, the Wu Zong, didn't take the initiative to ask, could they let the gray-robed old man take the initiative to explain
What a joke. No matter what, the gray-robed old man in front of him is also at the level of Martial King. Most of the time, no one in Zichen Continent can be his opponent. Who would be bored enough to ask this question
It was only because Yang Qi himself was not a cultivator from the Zichen Continent and did not know much about the Purple Emperor. Therefore, when he heard the gray-robed old man mention his master, he exclaimed in surprise. However, he did not expect that he would learn a huge secret.
"Senior's master is the powerful witch cultivator from the original secret realm?" Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
The grey-robed old man nodded slightly, "Yes, that is my master."
The gray-robed old man didn't find it strange that Yang Qi knew about the witch cultivators. The Purple Emperor Secret Realm had existed for millions of years, and countless talented young people from the Zichen Continent had come in. They had long known that the Purple Emperor Secret Realm was originally a secret realm created by powerful witch cultivators.
"Back then, the little fellow Zi Huang accidentally entered the secret realm. Although he was gifted, he took the wrong path and it would be difficult for him to break through to the Martial Emperor level in the future." The gray-robed old man continued, "Originally, I planned to kick Zi Huang out directly, but Zi Huang finally convinced me. I agreed to follow him back to Zichen Continent, on the one hand to continue looking for a suitable successor, and on the other hand to help him train the younger generation of the human race."
It’s actually like this!
After hearing what the gray-robed old man said, Yang Qi also understood a little. Why did the gray-robed old man say before that he and Zi Huang were in a cooperative relationship? The reason why the gray-robed old man stayed in Zi Chen Continent was that he wanted to find a suitable successor among the practitioners of Zi Chen Continent.
"Over the past millions of years, although I have helped the master find several successors, unfortunately, in the end, not even a Martial King was born." The gray-robed old man sighed helplessly.
“Although the path of Wu Zong has not yet been determined, it is still difficult to switch to the path of Wu Xiu.” Yang Qi sighed.
Martial arts cultivation emphasizes talent, Taoism cultivation emphasizes understanding, and witchcraft cultivation requires both talent and understanding. Those who can achieve success in witchcraft will usually not be too bad in other cultivation methods.
The Zichen Continent is mainly based on martial arts cultivation. Although there are some forces that value realm and understanding, they cannot be considered pure Taoist cultivation. As for witch cultivation, even in the endless universe, it is considered a very small lineage. It is too difficult to find a suitable successor who can also achieve great success.
"I didn't expect that you know so much about witch cultivation?" The gray-robed old man looked at Yang Qi in surprise.
Wu Xiu has no inheritance in Zi Chen Continent and can only obtain relevant inheritance from Zi Huang Secret Realm, so there are not many records. Some relevant records are news brought back by the King of Martial Arts of Zi Chen Continent from other cultivation worlds.
Most of this news is superficial information, without any detailed or in-depth understanding.
"These are what I have seen in the sect's classics." Yang Qi said hurriedly. The information about witch cultivation was naturally not obtained from Zichen Continent, but from the inheritance of Emperor Haoyang. When Emperor Haoyang was traveling in the universe, he once met a powerful witch cultivator. His understanding of witch cultivation was naturally not comparable to that of the practitioners on Zichen Continent. (To be continued)
