There were many people in the main hall of the Azure Lotus Sect. After Yang Zhen and his group entered, all eyes fell on Yang Zhen.
On the main seat in the hall, a middle-aged man saw Yang Zhen and smiled kindly, saying, "You must be Yang Zhen?"
Yang Zhen looked at the Azure Lotus Sect Master with curiosity. He didn't seem to have much of an air about him, and always had a smile on his face, just like a friendly uncle next door, without any sense of oppression.
Beside the Azure Lotus Sect Master stood the Fake Old Daoist, staring at Yang Zhen with a somewhat gloomy expression, as if Yang Zhen had taken advantage of his precious daughter.
Granny Chenggui and the others stood aside, while the rest of the disciples of the Heavenborn Sect were inside the main hall, standing together with the disciples of the Azure Lotus Sect. It was clear that these people were all geniuses and pillars of their respective sects, the kind of people who were qualified to participate in this kind of meeting between sect leaders.
Yang Zhen nodded and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Greetings, Sect Leader Azure Lotus Sect. I am Yang Zhen. May I ask why you summoned me here?"
Hearing Yang Zhen's unusual way of greeting everyone present, even the Azure Lotus Sect Master chuckled and said, "Truly a young prodigy. To have such strength at such a young age, his future achievements will surely be limitless."
The Azure Lotus Sect Master did not answer Yang Zhen's question, but instead asked curiously, "May I ask which sect young friend Yang Zhen studied under?"
Yang Zhen had long anticipated this question, which was a common flaw among these major sects. They would ask anyone about their origins, as if they held a very high position.
However, this is not surprising. Three Palaces and Six Sects else would they ask this question? The answers they would get would mostly be from those less powerful or less influential sects. By asking this question, they would have all the initiative in their own hands, making things much more efficient.
The more powerful a sect is, the more it values its origins, especially for powerful forces like the Three Palaces and Six Sects.
But who is Yang Zhen?
Can we let others take the initiative so easily?
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "A hero's origins are irrelevant. Let's not mention my sect. Besides, my master also said that when you're out in the world, don't casually mention the matter of the Savage Wilderness Inheritance to others."
Upon hearing this, the entire hall erupted in commotion, with many people gasping and looking at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty.
Lin Miaoyi was standing next to Yang Zhen, was shocked. She turned to look at Yang Zhen in disbelief, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Weng Yongli was shaken to his core, his face turned pale, and he glanced at Granny Chenggui with a somewhat aggrieved look.
The Savage Wilderness Inheritance is an even more Elder Gu and powerful existence than the Great Wilderness Heritage. Although most of the Savage Wilderness Inheritance has fallen into decline, it is still something passed down from that era. Even a small part of it can awe the world.
As expected, a look of surprise flashed across the Azure Lotus Sect Master's face. He laughed heartily and said, "So you're a descendant of the Savage Wilderness era. No wonder your talent is so high; you've completely overshadowed Lin Miaoyi and Weng Yongli."
Yang Zhen curled his lip. So what if Lin Miaoyi is going to suppress him? Does this guy think I, the Sage of Saunter, am really willing to keep this guy in the Weng Yongli?
While inwardly cursing, Yang Zhen smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Sect Master, you flatter me. My master advised me that when you're out in the world, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Anyway, no one is more talented than me, so you must always be humble. Humility is the most important thing."
Upon hearing this, everyone's lips twitched incessantly. What did it mean that being low-key was the most important thing?
Where on you is there anything about you that's low-key?
He took Zhou Tong, a disciple Final Step, and even broke the restrictions personally set up by the patriarch of the Origin Opening Palace in the Three Palaces. If the patriarch of the Origin Opening Palace finds out about this, it will definitely cause a huge uproar in the Origin Opening Palace. Then you'll be in for a lot of trouble.
Many people gloated, thinking that the Emperor Road was about to open, and all the extraordinary talents from the Three Palaces would come to represent the Three Sects. However, they might not necessarily gain the approval of those arrogant and haughty individuals. They wondered what the latter would do then.
Every time the Emperor Road opens, the people of the Six Sects always look to the successor of the Three Palaces for guidance.
Although this is an indisputable fact, the people of the Six Sects have been secretly resisting, which is why the Three Mountains Grand Gathering is such a competition.
The Azure Lotus Sect Master naturally didn't want the people of the Six Sects to continue to blindly obey the people of the Three Palaces, so after pondering for a moment, he became more and more satisfied with Yang Zhen, and said with a smile, "I heard that young friend Yang has comprehended nine of the Twelve Azure Lotuses Azure Lotus?"
Yang Zhen nodded. There was no point in hiding it; after all, he had displayed nine Azure Lotus beside the stone tablet. Hearing this, he replied, "Yes!"
The Azure Lotus Sect leader laughed heartily and said, " Lin Miaoyi must have already told you. Within the Azure Lotus Sect, there is a place that only those who have comprehended more than ten Azure Lotus can enter."
Yang Zhen glanced at the somewhat uneasy Lin Miaoyi and asked curiously, "What kind of place is it?"
The Azure Lotus Sect Master sighed and said, "That place is where the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch passed away. Throughout history, no one in the entire Azure Lotus Sect has been able to enter it. Therefore, I wish to help you condense another Azure Lotus so that you can enter it."
Where did the Azure Lotus Patriarch pass away?
Upon hearing this, many cultivators outside the Azure Lotus Sect gasped in shock.
Who is the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch?
That was a powerful existence in the Savage Wilderness era. After the Savage Wilderness era ended, the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch founded the Azure Lotus Sect. It is said that he possessed a Azure Lotus that could enlighten all things in heaven and earth. It was the most powerful treasure in the Savage Wilderness era.
Yang Zhen's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Wasn't there Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus at the place where your sect's patriarch passed away?"
Between the Azure Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus and Earth and the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, which is more powerful?
Yang Zhen is only unable to unleash the full power of the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus. The Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus is even more terrifying than the World-Ending Heavenly Lotus, which gives you an idea of just how terrifying the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch was back then.
As expected, the Azure Lotus Sect Master nodded and said, "Indeed, there is Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus within the Holy Land. This time, I entered it to ask young friend Yang to bring the Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus out."
Are you kidding me?
Yang Zhen stared intently at the Azure Lotus Sect Master.
Bring out the Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus?
If we could bring the Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus out, it would already belong to the Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus family. What would it have to do with you then?
"This... I'm afraid it's not quite right," Yang Zhen said hesitantly.
The old man who is the leader of the Azure Lotus Sect is not bad. The Azure Lotus Sect is also very hospitable. So many good things and good opportunities have fallen on Yang Zhen Yang Zhen's head. He has also been able to comprehend the Twelve Azure Lotuses Cultivation Method.
If I were to steal their Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus as well, then I'd actually find it quite appealing.
The Azure Lotus Sect Master seemed to see through Yang Zhen's thoughts, looking at Yang Zhen with a half-smile, and said, "Don't worry, the Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus is a supreme treasure refined by the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch. Without the Azure Lotus Sect's special methods, no one else can use it at all, unless they can erase the ancestor's life mark."
Yang Zhen felt like cursing.
Erasing the ancestral mark of the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch's patriarch—what's the difference between that and directly killing the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch?
What use would someone capable of killing the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch have for the Heaven and Earth Azure Lotus and Earth?
However, it is, after all, the place where the Azure Lotus Sect Patriarch passed away; there might be other good things there.
Yang Zhen became somewhat curious.
