The Student Surpasses the Master

"Um?"

Hearing the system's continuous notifications, Lu Changzhi was stunned.

"It's refreshed? It's showing up?"

The two things happened close together.

However, Lu Changzhi did not go to see it immediately.

Instead, they left first.

Find a quiet place to watch it slowly, but it wouldn't be good if I got delayed here because of system notifications.

Brush.

As Lu Changzhi left.

Outside the palace gates.

The protective array also dissipated.

"Um?"

Outside the gate.

Xiang Li, who was initially very displeased, suddenly had a change in expression.

He sensed something was changing.

It is related to the palace in front.

At that moment, he decisively took action again.

Brush.

The sharp power of metal gathered in Xiang Li's arm.

The power accumulated and transformed into a dazzling palm strike, hurtling towards the palace gate.

This time.

This astonishing palm strike landed on the palace gate, but instead of producing the loud bang that everyone had expected, it did not.

On the contrary, it was like hitting a ball of cotton.

Not a sound came out.

The palace gates then slowly opened.

"It's open!"

Below the palace steps, a descendant of the Xiang Clan was startled.

"I never expected it to be so peculiar; such a gate opens without making the slightest sound," a descendant of the Xiang Clan remarked.

Of course, in comparison, most of the younger generation of the Xiang Clan were focused on the black mist spreading around them.

The black mist accompanied by the beam of light was not a good omen.

"Finally!"

Before the palace gates, Xiang Li's expression softened.

It took so much effort.

Now, this palace has finally opened its doors to me!

At that moment, there was not the slightest hesitation.

Xiang Li stepped inside.

On the other side.

Lu Changzhi had already reached the edge of the black mist's range.

"This black mist is no ordinary thing."

Lu Changzhi shook his head slightly, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Which faction is behind this move?

This black mist does not merely serve the simple function of blocking mental probes; when we approached it, we could clearly feel its influence on the five senses.

If one's own strength is limited, there is a high chance of getting trapped inside.

The sheer scale of this black mist suggests that it was clearly planned from the beginning.

The next four weeks have been determined, and protective measures have been implemented.

Then, Lu Changzhi checked the system notification.

I glanced at the opportunities that Xiang Li had refreshed.

The first new dish made Lu Changzhi pause for a moment.

"A method of body refinement and fusion? It refined a small portion of the Five Elements Sacred Physique's physical body?"

The system introduction wasn't very comprehensive.

This surprised Lu Changzhi somewhat.

"Could it be that there are other bodies of the Five Elements Sacred Physique Bodies here?"

Although Chen Wangdao's body was still there, it was now just a skeleton, and could no longer be considered a physical body.

However, Lu Changzhi didn't dwell on these things too much.

Because of the time displayed by the system.

This opportunity was obtained entirely within half an hour.

As for the second course...

It is a token of the Four Symbols Hall, but according to the system's description, it is only a one-time opportunity and not a substantial reward.

As for the timing, it is consistent with the previous circumstances.

"It seems something is about to happen."

With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi shut down Xiang Li's opportunity.

Right now, what he's more curious about is...

Could the person who meets the mission requirements be someone from this teleportation beacon?

At that moment, Lu Changzhi said softly:

"System, display target information."

Brush.

The sound faded.

A personal information page pops up.

[Name]: Zhong Ming

[Realm]: Saint Realm Eighth Layer

[Qualification]: Lower-Grade Human Dao Rank

[Constitution]: Evil-Warding Saint Physique [None]

[Talent]: Beyond Calculation, Blazing a New Trail, Adept at Muddying the Waters

[Special]: Rebirth System

" At the Saint Realm?"

Looking at the [Realm] section, Lu Changzhi was taken aback.

Judging by their skill level alone, they are not that far behind me.

"If I were to take him as my disciple, under the influence of the principle that Master Not Inferior to Disciple, it should allow me to make a great leap forward in my cultivation level."

He spoke softly, Lu Changzhi looked down.

"This physique... System, what does 'nothingness' mean?"

"Master, the current target's physique is bestowed by their system and is not classified according to conventional standards," the system explained.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi nodded slightly.

"It can even control its own physique; it seems Zhong Ming's system is quite remarkable."

His gaze swept downwards.

The relevant talent information was also presented to Lu Changzhi one by one.

Beyond Calculation is somewhat similar to hiding cause and effect, but it is even stronger. It cannot be calculated by ordinary means, and it can also avoid certain aspects of cause and effect. One is involved in the matter, but is not tainted by cause and effect.

The saying "The student surpasses the teacher" truly applies everywhere.

Lu Changzhi sighed.

He felt that Zhong Ming's talent was not much worse than his own.

In comparison, the other two talents seem much more ordinary.

Blazing a New Trail means finding your own way on the path of cultivation and becoming stronger, without following the usual methods.

This is relatively easy to understand, but based on the information currently available, it is still impossible to determine exactly how he claims to be a Daoist.

In addition, there is the third talent.

Its connection to spiritual practice is relatively small; it is more related to conduct.

"Stirring up water" means to muddy the waters.

Those with this destiny will naturally possess the ability to muddy the waters, and will naturally become stronger with the passage of time and the accumulation of experience.

After scanning these, Lu Changzhi's attention fell on the [Special] section.

"Rebirth System?"

Looking at the name, Lu Changzhi's gaze sharpened slightly:

"System, could this system be the kind that allows for infinite rebirth?"

Constant rebirth, near-immortality, and if each rebirth also grants corresponding experience gains, then this cannot be simply described as powerful.

The fearlessness of death is, to some extent, more alluring than death itself.

"Of course not," the system replied.

"The infinite rebirth that the master spoke of is just a pie in the sky that the target system paints for the target; it can only be realized after the target meets certain requirements."

"A pie in the sky?" Lu Changzhi said softly.

"So there's still a possibility of it being implemented. Before that, what are the main functions of this system?"

The system was silent for a moment, then said:

"Based on the information currently available, the Rebirth System is primarily used for grave robbing."

"Grave digging?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted.

"I was right after all."

It turns out they really are after the tomb.

Catering to their preferences—using the right bait for the right fish—is indeed true.

"System, display the other party's location."

Lu Changzhi withdrew his attention and said softly.

Then a ray of light appeared, extending into the distance.

However, the light suddenly disappeared the next moment.

"System?" Lu Changzhi called out.

"What happened to it?"
