Lu Zizai

Before the rocky mountain, the Fire Spring transforms into a gentle stream that flows by, dotted with lush bamboo, making this place both refreshing and tranquil.

The boy in coarse linen clothes looked at Qin Ming, circled him halfway, and then scoffed, "Old man, stop pretending to be young, show your true colors!"

He exhaled Golden Haze, his voice boomed like thunder, and he exuded an imposing aura, but... nothing happened.

Qin Ming's eyes gleamed strangely. Could this ethereal young man have been to the Divine Plains and had his head kicked by Lu Chongxiao?

The boy in coarse linen clothes frowned, looked him up and down, and a look of longing for the countryside appeared on his face. "Which one of us is acting strangely?" Qin Ming asked.

"Something's wrong with you!" The young man, a man of strong conviction, looked at him and said, "You're still in the New Life Realm, but your lifespan is far beyond your current level."

Then, he looked at Qin Ming and said, "I'm very perceptive about longevity and immortality. I suspect you're an old man who severed your past self, accumulated vitality, and relived your youthful self."

"There are people like this?" Qin Ming was taken aback.

"Even Otherworldly Person exist, so what's so strange about that?" The boy didn't seem to care. The town looked into his eyes, and after careful examination, it seemed that he really didn't look like an old monster.

Qin Ming immediately became interested and said, "Then tell me about those situations in detail. Also, how many years of life do I have left?"

"You'll live at least two hundred and fifty years," the boy said with certainty. "Two hundred and sixty!" Qin Ming corrected, feeling he was being insulted.

"More or less." The boy in coarse linen clothes nodded earnestly, his eyes as clear as black lacquer.

Qin Ming observed him closely and found him to be somewhat unfathomable, a person with an extremely strong will, devoid of emotional fluctuations that could resonate with him.

"You wouldn't happen to be a Old Senior, would you?" He scrutinized the other person with the air of a young man in hemp clothing, and asked the question. Moreover, Qin Ming looked at his long, black hair again, and the roots were indeed silver-white.

He grew increasingly suspicious. Was he really an old man? The boy chuckled and said, "I'm only eighteen. This is just a problem with my training; I'll recover soon!"

Then, he became serious again, looked Qin Ming up and down, and said, "Why do you, a person at the New Life cultivated realm, have such a long lifespan?"

"My talent is unparalleled!" Qin Ming looked at him, guessing again, and said, "Could you be a person permanently possessed?" The boy had no signs of age, his eyes were clear, and he shook his head in denial.

Qin Ming took a deep breath, and green light flowed around his body. He used Secret Method from the Yi Wood Scripture to observe and worship the young man, and the fresh scent of grass and trees filled the air.

The Yi Wood Scripture is very special; it can prolong life, and there are unique insights into this field.

Qin Ming was certain that the boy exuded vitality, and his Mental Will possessed a unique Divine Charm characteristic of youth, without even a trace of decay or decline.

"You certainly have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. You claim to be exceptionally talented, so let me test you and see if you can withstand one of my palm strikes," said the boy in coarse linen clothes.

As he spoke, his demeanor changed. He raised one hand, as if a bright moon were rising from the sea, enveloping him. Its pure and radiant light made him appear serene and transcendent.

Qin Ming was slightly surprised. His attack was accompanied by an unusual aura. Were all the Teenage Aberrant in the Ancestral Court this powerful?

He quickly replied, "Wait, you're at least in the Outer Saint Domain, while I'm still in the New Life realm. How can I possibly stop you?"

The boy in hemp clothing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I only used the Heavenly Light Force of the New Life Realm; it wasn't beyond its limits." Qin Ming smiled and said, "In that case, you'd better be careful."

"Quite confident, huh? Come on!" The young man raised his hand, standing in the bright moonlight, extraordinary and displaying the demeanor of a Master, truly unlike anyone else.

Qin Ming became serious and said, "Be careful!"

His fist unleashed a dazzling Golden Haze, seemingly distorting space itself. Out of respect for the boy, he was striking with utmost seriousness.

He always felt the boy was strange and dared not be careless. "There's something to it!" the boy said, pressing down with one hand.

With a deafening boom, it was as if a thunderclap had struck. Both the sound and the light were remarkably similar. Golden Haze collided with pure white holy radiance before exploding. This was a transcendent level of Guan Guang Jin, rarely seen even in the New Life Realm!

The boy was taken aback, because he was retreating—one step, two steps... seven steps!

He found it unbelievable, as if he'd seen a ghost. Was this how a disciple who had just entered the Ancestral Court should behave? Qin Ming's expression turned solemn as he said, "You're actually this strong?!"

"Shouldn't these words be spoken by the young man in hemp clothing?" Qin Ming murmured, "He merely retreated. The Six Royals Ancestral Court is a place teeming with hidden talents."

The boy sensed something was wrong, so he pushed himself away and started reflecting on his actions—it was utterly absurd!

"Come on, I'm serious this time!" the young man said in a deep voice. He had never been defeated in the New Life Realm, yet he was actually outdone in his own Ancestral Court! Brother, what's your name?"Qin Ming asked seriously, believing this to be an extraordinary person.

"Lu Zizai, and you?" the young man asked casually. (Looking at the book, he saw Qin Ming.)

"Alright, this time I'll seriously consider you." Lu Zizai said, his aura changing once again, his whole body radiant, as if standing in a Scorching Sun, the light so bright it hurt people's eyes and almost brought tears to their eyes.

Qin Ming's expression turned solemn. This opponent was too special. He hadn't boasted beforehand, and the young man hadn't even used his full strength when he first made his move.

Lu Zizai was like the Divine Son the Solar Yang god, shining in all directions. Before he could even unleash his terrifying Heavenly Light Force, it had already erupted with thunderous roars that were deafening!

Hearing the commotion from afar, Zhou and Zhou Shize rushed over immediately. Upon seeing this scene, they only glanced at it before silently retreating. Qin Ming unleashed his power, his own light shining brightly, as he proactively threw this punch.

In mid-air, the two fists collided, and Golden Haze shot out like bolts of lightning intertwining in the void, covering and engulfing the two.

The rocks and cliffs in front of them were covered with falling dust, and anything touched was like a sharp blade scraping against rotten wood, causing it to break and fall off.

This time, Lu Zizai was truly stunned, because he took three steps back again, which was somewhat overturning his understanding, because he had never lost at this stage before!

Qin Ming was greatly shocked. The Six Royals Ancestral Court was far more complex than he had imagined. To encounter such a young man so casually, he could only sigh, "Impressive!"

Lu Zizai's eyes deepened; was he praising his opponent?!

"Again!" he said in a deep voice, as the bright moon and the Scorching Sun appeared simultaneously.

"You can get even stronger?" Qin Ming suddenly felt the pressure increase; he was genuinely shocked.

Lu Zizai couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Wasn't this how he used to comment on others? Today it was a bit outrageous, and he had actually suffered a minor setback.

In the distance, many disciples heard the thunder and wanted to rush over, but they were all stopped by Zhou Tao, Zhou Shize and a few other old guys.

Beside Lu Zizai, the bright moon turned black, Scorching Sun became so intense it turned white. Then the two intertwined, chasing each other like two fish swimming in circles.

As he raised his hand, Yin-Yang Qi began to circulate around his palm. Qin Ming's expression was unusually serious as he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Although he had never seen the complete Six Imperial Heart Sutra, he knew that this person was a bit outrageous. Even if one mastered the Two Imperial Force in the New Life stages, it would be difficult to start from Yin and Yang.

"I'm not the old guy you imagine, but I do have some connections," Lu Zizai said frankly.

This time, twenty-seven Divine Ring appeared simultaneously around Qin Ming's body, layer upon layer, as if he had stepped into a sacred, Pure Land, his entire flesh and blood radiating piercing light.

"Your Guan Guangjin seems familiar, somewhat familiar," Lu Zizai said. In that instant, the two unleashed a collision that most New Life Evolver could hardly imagine!

The Yin-Yang and Black Eyes energies collided with the layers of Divine Ring, unleashing an astonishing Grand Light Force. The scene was as if lightning and thunder were striking, and even the night fog dissipated.

In other words, their light cannot be projected too far; otherwise, this place might be razed to the ground, leaving nothing behind.

Qin Ming swayed slightly, while Lu Zizai took a step back.

This time, Qin Ming didn't say anything, but stared at the other person. Could he be even stronger? This guy is too strange; something's not right!

"You're really strong!" Lu Zizai exclaimed.

Then, another purple qi actually rose from his Black and White aura.

Qin Ming was immediately on high alert, realizing that this was absurd. He was right to have overestimated the Six Royals Ancestral Court; someone had actually mastered the Three Imperial Force!

In an instant, he felt terrifying pressure. On the other side, the addition of purple qi energy to the Black and White Qi caused a qualitative improvement in the Heavenly Light Force.

Qin Ming spurted juice for the first time, but he couldn't wipe it away. He stood ready, prepared to face an even more devastating blow from his opponent.

However, Chen Zizai suddenly dispersed the purple qi, and then the Black and White aura also receded into his body. From then on, all was calm, and he did not strike with that palm.

"Is that the Three Imperial Force?" Qin Ming asked solemnly.

Chen Zizai nodded and said, "You don't need to be fixated on the number of defensive energies. Some people can break through Two Imperial Force with One Royal. You have to understand the true essence; it's not just about simply piling them up."

He added, "My Two Imperial Force can break through someone else's Three Imperial Force."

"I know you're powerful. I was just comparing your Three Imperial Force with my Heavenly Light Force. Why did you stop?" Qin Ming asked.

Chen Zizai shook his head and said, "You've only Seventh New Life. It would be too much for me to use the Three Imperial Force Defense against you; it wouldn't be a fair victory."

"Can you tell?"

"A very small number of people with extraordinary perception, if they master the Secret Method of the Ancestral Court and examine carefully, can discover your situation. You have actually Seventh New Life," Chen Zizai said.

"Do Elder Zhou Tao and the others know?" Qin Ming felt uneasy.

"They are not included. People with such extraordinary perception are at least the top-tier Otherworlder. Your Secret Method of concealing your origins Light Harmony in with the world is incomplete. Since you are worried, I will complete it for you." Lu Zizai transmitted a Mnemonic to him.

Qin Ming looked surprised and said, "You're really not an old monster?"

"I'm only eighteen!" Chen Zizai emphasized, seemingly very concerned about his age.

"What are your plans? Do you intend to join the Six Royals Ancestral Court, or do you have other ideas?" Lu Zizai asked.

Then he smiled and said, "It's alright, just say what's on your mind. I won't tell anyone, because I'm planning to run away myself."

"Huh?" Qin Ming was taken aback. Such a powerful figure wanted to leave the Ancestral Court?

He asked, "Did you see that the Six Sovereigns were decaying and declining, so you're in a hurry to cut them off?"

Lu Zizai chuckled and said, "Who said the Six Sovereigns are finished? Only a fool would come to test their limits and die. Look at the truly powerful figures, who dares to come?"

He commented, "The Six Sovereigns' Turmoil began from within. Factions were everywhere, and the elders were fixed among a few families. The system was completely corrupt. The lineage could not New Life without dying once."

"Who exactly are you?" Qin Ming was completely taken aback; he couldn't believe this was just a disciple.

(There's more to come!)
