Letting You Become the One with the Aptitude of a Great Emperor

"Oh?"

Lu Changzhi was surprised:

"Even with your skill, you couldn't see through it?"

Liu Duanyuan glanced at Lu Changzhi and said:

"You should know exactly what methods you used."

After saying that, he changed the subject and got straight to the point:

"I've come to see you for one thing."

"Are you willing to enjoy the cultivation resources of my Liu Clan, obtain a Liu Clan identity, and receive the protection of my Liu Clan's powerful members?"

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi looked at Liu Duanyuan with some surprise:

What is the meaning behind Senior Liu's actions?

He had indeed thought about this before, but he didn't expect that this senior from the Liu Clan would take the initiative to come to him to discuss the matter.

If it weren't for the fact that the green light representing accomplices on the system side wasn't lit, he would have really suspected that Liu Duanyuan in front of him was one of the sect's elders who had gone out to study.

"I'm giving you a chance."

Liu Duanyuan smiled:

"You should know the strength and status of our Liu Clan in the Misty Clear Realm. Many cultivation resources and opportunities in the Misty Clear Realm are monopolized by our Liu Clan. Furthermore, according to the intelligence our Liu Clan possesses, the Emperor Road will appear in the near future."

"Those who tread the Emperor Road will ascend to become emperors. With your identity as a member of the Liu Clan, you will surely have the opportunity to try."

Lu Changzhi listened Jingjing to Liu Duanyuan finish speaking, and then asked:

"What you've said is indeed very tempting, but I wonder what the price will be for these benefits?"

"Not bad." Liu Duanyuan gave Lu Changzhi an approving look.

"It's good that you noticed these things."

"You obviously know that there are always trade-offs. These benefits are all for you, but the price is that you will no longer be yourself when you're out there."

"Then who am I?" Lu Changzhi asked.

"Have you ever heard the legend of the Aptitude of a Great Emperor of my Liu Clan?" Liu Duanyuan asked, looking at him.

Lu Changzhi paused for a moment, then said:

"I've heard of it, but it seems like there hasn't been much news about it over the years, has there?"

After speaking, Lu Changzhi's expression became somewhat strange:

"Senior Liu means for me to assume the Aptitude of a Great Emperor?"

He also possesses the Aptitude of a Great Emperor.

However, that was mainly for special effects and was hardly ever used. The only time it was used was to trick Qin Li into becoming his disciple.

"Not bad." Liu Duanyuan nodded.

"From now on, you will be the Aptitude of a Great Emperor of my Liu Clan. Your actions must take into account the interests and capabilities of the Liu Clan, and must not tarnish the image of the Liu Clan Aptitude of a Great Emperor."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and asked:

Why me?

"Since you can't see my true strength, yet you want me to feign the Aptitude of a Great Emperor, and since your Liu Clan's Aptitude of a Great Emperor is so extraordinary, there must be a gap between us. So how can I possibly act well?"

Faced with Lu Changzhi's question, Liu Duanyuan was quite patient and said:

"Because you have something unique about you. You might not understand how it's special now, but you will in the future."

"As for what you've mentioned, none of these are problems; they can all be overcome."

The Liu Clan urgently needs the key to break this deadlock.

And Lu Changzhi, standing before them, is currently their only option.

"Xiao Dao, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Lu Changzhi asked the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit and mentioned the matter at the same time.

Xiao Dao thought for a moment and said:

"Among you humans, there seems to be a saying: 'The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow.'"

"The Liu Clan's Aptitude of a Great Emperor was initially impressive, but they have been relatively quiet in recent years. They are either growing in secret or they are all bark and no bite."

"If the Liu Clan is so powerful, then even if this Aptitude of a Great Emperor isn't that strong, it certainly won't be weak. It's unlikely that they would be afraid of being exposed and thus remain hidden from the world."

Xiao Dao paused as he spoke, then continued:

"The Liu Clan probably wanted to create a fake tree. As for their real purpose, it might be to lower public expectations and create a shock later, or it might be to resolve other matters unknown to the outside world, but it's impossible to be sure."

Lu Changzhi glanced admiringly at the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit and said:

"The analysis is good, well-reasoned and supported by evidence."

The Dao-Severing Sword Spirit smiled:

"Back when I was with my master, I saw a lot of things; this kind of thing wasn't uncommon."

After saying that, the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit changed the subject and said:

"For most people, this is probably not a good thing."

"But if it were a young master, it might not be so."

Lu Changzhi smiled:

"You mean because of the one who was bullied?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the system's voice immediately rang out:

"Master, I didn't bully it."

Having said that, the voice then addressed the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit:

"You followed me voluntarily, didn't you?"

The Dao-Severing Sword Spirit: "Yes, that's right."

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Liu Duanyuan spoke again:

You have time to consider it.

"If you agree, the fate of the Shen Clan in this wager, within the bounds of the rules, can be decided by you."

"Within the rules?" Lu Changzhi looked at Liu Duanyuan.

"The balance between top-tier powers is quite delicate. It's not that we can't take action against these smaller powers, but we need a prestige that prevents other powers from interfering," Liu Duanyuan said.

"Understood."

Lu Changzhi nodded.

It's simply a matter of multiple processes.

Those who deliberately seek trouble will inevitably find trouble.

"In that case, it's definitely worth considering," Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

With the Liu Clan overseeing things, his disciples can basically complete these tasks in one go.

Instead of trying to intimidate, it's better to use your power to intimidate.

With this thought in mind, Lu Changzhi nodded and said:

"Okay, I agree."

Liu Duanyuan smiled, seemingly unsurprised by Lu Changzhi's choice.

"However, this matter cannot be resolved simply by talking about it."

Liu Duanyuan said:

"Since it's a disguise, you must have the means to prove that you are the Aptitude of a Great Emperor of my Liu Clan, or learn or master those means to prove it."

Lu Changzhi fell silent.

So after all that talking, I agreed, and then they tell me I still need to take an exam?

Lu Changzhi immediately lost interest.

That would make things much more complicated.

Seeing that Lu Changzhi had no reaction, Liu Duanyuan said:

"Don't worry too much, it's not a difficult thing."

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Immediately, messages appeared between the two of them.

Each line represents a possible solution to try.

Lu Changzhi glanced at it, his gaze suddenly stopping on one of the lines.

"Master any of the core external martial arts techniques of the Liu Clan to the highest level."

Lu Changzhi's heart stirred, and he raised his hand, pointing a finger, and asked:

What's inside?

Liu Duanyuan was slightly surprised, but thinking about it, it was normal, after all, each of these core martial arts techniques was famous.

Brush.

Liu Duanyuan waved his hand again, and the characters changed, condensing into the names of various martial arts techniques, with related descriptions below.

Among the many martial arts techniques, Lu Changzhi immediately spotted one, pointed at it, and said:

"Let's choose this one."

"It?"

Liu Duanyuan glanced at the title "The Grasp of Return to the Void" and reminded him:

"It's so difficult, why did you choose it?"
