After Using Cheats for So Long, He Still Hadn't Reached the Limits of His Ancestors' Strength?!
On Hidden Origin Peak.
After the three left, the mountaintop became noticeably quieter.
That morning, Cang Wenyu came and said to Lu Changzhi:
"Changzhi, everything is ready on the Ancestor's side. He wants me to take you there."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's eyes flickered slightly:
"Is it finally done?"
As he spoke, Lu Changzhi stood up and said:
Let's go.
Following Cang Wenyu, the two soon arrived at a core area of the sect.
This place is nothing special and seems to have no connection to any important location.
Furthermore, the ground was cluttered with various items, creating a chaotic scene.
This is it.
Cang Wenyu spoke, then bowed towards the void and said:
"Ancestor, I have brought the Changzhi."
As soon as the words were spoken, a voice suddenly rang out:
"You've worked hard, go on."
Cang Wenyu left upon hearing the sound.
Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on the pile of miscellaneous items on the ground, a thoughtful look on his face.
Suddenly, his brows relaxed slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"So it really isn't just for show?"
This pile of miscellaneous items, besides serving as a cover, was also cleverly arranged with numerous formations. If he hadn't broken through to the Saint Realm, he might not have even noticed it.
Suddenly, the debris spread out in both directions.
A lifelike illusion appeared, overlapping with Lu Changzhi's figure.
"Come in."
As the sound rang out, Lu Changzhi stepped into the crack in the debris and vanished instantly.
Lu Changzhi's illusory figure bypassed the clutter and left the area.
Brush.
The scene before my eyes changed.
After he came to a stop, Lu Changzhi began to look around at his surroundings.
Lu Changzhi was momentarily stunned upon first glance.
"Is this where our ancestors secluded themselves in meditation?"
Looking around, one sees towering mountains and flowing water, small lakes and weeping willows, pavilions and towers, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland on earth, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.
Not far away, an old ancestor sat on the ground, enjoying the flowing water, looking relaxed and smiling.
This situation left Lu Changzhi momentarily stunned.
This environment is even more enjoyable than what I had at Hidden Origin Peak!
He had expected to arrive at a dark and somber secluded place, but he never imagined it would be like this, which far exceeded his expectations.
At this moment, the people here also noticed Lu Changzhi, some waving, some looking at him with smiles, and some speaking directly to greet him in their own way.
Lu Changzhi responded to each point.
While responding, they didn't forget to use the system to investigate the general information about these ancestors.
Saint King, Saint King, Saint King, and still the Saint King!
Soon, Lu Changzhi confirmed one thing.
The ancestors who reside here are likely all at the Saint King Realm.
Looking at the more than thirty ancestors, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.
It's hard to describe this complex emotion.
He's been using cheat codes for so long, yet he still hasn't reached the limit of his ancestor's power?!
And if it were just one or two people, that would be one thing, but so many...
At this moment, Lu Changzhi gained a clearer and deeper understanding of the sect's ancestral precepts.
"No wonder even the sect leader has no idea about the true situation on the patriarch's side."
Lu Changzhi thought to himself.
Just knowing about this kind of setup is enough to give one peace of mind, making one extremely confident in their actions, and making it very difficult to hide it by pretending.
Even though I understand it, experiencing it firsthand still makes it seem unbelievable.
"You should understand the unique characteristics of this sect, so there's no need to be too surprised."
A voice rang out, and as soon as the words fell, a figure dressed in hemp clothing appeared before Lu Changzhi.
Lu Changzhi looked over and was slightly taken aback.
The old man who spoke had a very unique aura and temperament. At first glance, he was not particularly special at all, giving people the feeling of an old man from the mortal world. He had a slightly square face, thick hair and beard, and a smiling face, as kind and approachable as Grandpa Niu.
With a thought, Lu Changzhi glanced at the other party's personal information:
[Name]: Liang Si
[Realm]: Saint Venerable Realm Level 2
[Qualification]: Saint-Rank Middle Grade
[Physique]: Tyrant Spear Spirit Physique (Spirit Rank Peak Grade)
[Talent]: Exceptional Spear Dao, Modest Achievement
"Hiss."
Lu Changzhi took a deep breath.
An ancestor at the Saint Venerable Realm!
Above the Saint is the Saint King, and above the Saint King is the Saint Venerable.
No wonder it's been hidden so perfectly!
At this moment, Liang Si's voice rang out again:
"Let me introduce myself. I Liang Si, the twenty-eighth generation leader of the Five Symbols Sect, responsible for overseeing the Five Symbols Sect's worldly affairs."
As he spoke, Liang Si raised his hand in a divine gesture.
The two shook hands, Liang Si nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation in his eyes:
"Not bad, stronger than I expected."
As he spoke, he turned around and gestured:
"Come on, follow me."
The two walked away into the distance, one after the other.
At this moment, Lu Changzhi suddenly said:
"Ancestor Liang, you just mentioned the worldly aspect of the Five Symbols Sect. Does that mean the Five Symbols Sect also has a transcendent aspect?"
"Good."
Liang Si nodded:
"Entering the world and leaving the world are two indispensable aspects for a spiritual practitioner. One must first enter the world and then leave it; only in this way can one be considered complete."
"To enter the world means to engage with it, to cultivate oneself, to experience, to be tempered, to grow, to observe the myriad aspects of human nature, to discern the unpredictability of the human heart, to be shrewd about the various aspects of the world, and to find one's own path. To leave the world means to depart from it, to cultivate one's own path, to devote oneself to study, and to minimize the influence of external things and events."
After a pause, Liang Si said:
"The worldly aspect and the otherworldly aspect are the two main parts of our Five Symbols Sect. The Five Symbols Sect here, as well as the Seeking Ancestor, the Wandering Ancestor, and the Protector Ancestor, all belong to the worldly aspect."
"The Guardian Ancestor?"
Lu Changzhi looked surprised; this title sounded far from ordinary.
Having reached the level of protecting the Dao, wouldn't their strength be...?
As if he had already guessed that Lu Changzhi would be surprised by this, Liang Si spoke up to explain:
"The ancestral protector is protecting someone else's path, someone else's law."
"Someone else's?" Lu Changzhi was taken aback, a vague guess forming in his mind.
"Yes." Liang Si nodded.
"Each cultivator has their own path of cultivation. The stronger they are, the more unique their path becomes. Before their lifespan ends, most of these cultivators will leave behind a legacy, hoping that someone will inherit their mantle and follow their path."
"But if their lineage remains undiscovered for too long, it risks disappearing. Therefore, what my Five Symbols Sect's guardian ancestor must do is to search for and excavate their lineage across various continents as much as possible, so as to prevent them from completely vanishing after their death."
This time, Lu Changzhi showed no surprise whatsoever.
He had already guessed the general idea, but his wording wasn't as formal as Liang Si's.
"Is the origin of the Five Symbols Sect not here?" Lu Changzhi asked in turn.
"It's definitely not here."
Liang Si nodded:
"Those who transcend the world and those who engage with the world have different pursuits; therefore, the transcendent aspect of the Five Symbols Sect School is located in a very safe and quiet place."
"If you're interested, I'll take you there when your cultivation level is higher, but it'll be much more boring than here."
As they spoke, the two arrived before a hall that was entirely made of blue glazed glass. Liang Si stopped and gestured:
We've arrived.
