Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

158. Chapter 158 Fudge, Move The Family!

Chapter 158: Deception and Relocation!

As soon as Liu Zimo spoke, even though the Tortoise of Longevity had a long life, it knew what its new master wanted to do.

Instead of enticing, it changed to deceiving and intimidating.

It had to be said that this new master was really on par with the old Taoist from back then!

Sometimes, in order to achieve their goals, people could come up with all sorts of crooked ideas!

The Tortoise of Longevity criticized in disgust.

However, when it saw Jiao Linglong looking at it with inquisitive eyes and secretly communicating with it to inquire about the truth of the matter.

Without thinking, the Tortoise of Longevity nodded and responded:

"What the master said is not wrong!"

"That extraterritorial demon is indeed in the Saint realm. That claw from before almost killed me!"

"But that demon still can't cross the boundary barrier and directly descend into this realm. Its power is less than 30% of its normal state. Otherwise, I would undoubtedly be dead!"

"But even so, that claw took away 90% of my life. It was only after the master fed me a Yin-Yang Rebirth Fruit that I was able to recover quickly."

"So, the master really has nothing to say to me!"

"He is generous, righteous, and when there's a problem, he really takes action without any hesitation. He is much stronger than that old Taoist from back then!"

"Jiao Linglong, I'm not being nosy, but you should really consider acknowledging him as your master..."

Hearing the Tortoise's explanation, Jiao Linglong understood.

No wonder this old tortoise was able to bounce back so quickly after being hit in the Saint realm. It turned out that it wasted a healing holy medicine!

This really matched Liu Zimo's style of being rich and not caring about holy-grade healing medicine at all!

Otherwise, for tough guys like the Tortoise of Longevity, as long as they don't die at the time, they can gradually recover from any injury.

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to use such precious holy medicine like the Yin-Yang Rebirth Fruit for treatment.

"Stop babbling here! Get to the point!"

Seeing the Tortoise of Longevity bring up the matter of acknowledging a master again, Jiao Linglong couldn't help but interrupt its words and said directly:

"Just tell me, is that Saint realm demon really the ancestor of the Soul-Eating Worm Clan?"

That was the key point Jiao Linglong was concerned about.

If that Saint realm demon really was the ancestor of the Soul-Eating Worm Clan, then things would really be troublesome!

That would mean that their Dragon Tiger Mountain had already caught the attention of a powerful Saint realm expert, and they might have already made some moves in secret!

As for its true form, even though it couldn't completely descend due to the boundary barrier, once the war between realms started, there was almost no precedent for it to stop or withdraw midway.

That Saint realm demon would definitely descend to Earth sooner or later.

And by that time, their Dragon Tiger Mountain would have no way out!

"Yes, it is the Soul-Eating Ancestor!"

The Tortoise of Longevity replied firmly through spiritual communication:

"While slapping me, it also left a spiritual avatar in my sea of consciousness, controlling my soul and will."

"If it weren't for the master's timely intervention, I would now be a puppet of that Soul-Eating Ancestor, even if I didn't die!"

"So, forming a bond with my master is truly beneficial and harmless!"

"Not only is he the nemesis of the Soul-Eating Worm Clan, but his own martial arts realm and spiritual cultivation strength are advancing at an unprecedented speed."

"Barring any accidents, he will undoubtedly be the first transcendent Saint in this era!"

"At that time, the fate of all human beings on Earth, including your Dragon and Tiger Sect, will be under the control of my master."

"If you recognize the master now, it can be considered as an early investment. When the master reaches the realm of sainthood, he will definitely achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. You will also be able to comprehend the way of the saints with me!"

The tortoise continued to persuade with a sincere tone.

However, Jiao Linglong didn't take it to heart at all and thought that the tortoise was just bragging.

Indeed, Liu Zimo was truly a rare genius of this era.

It was even possible that he was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Daoist, with extraordinary roots.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to advance his cultivation to the Divine and Spiritual Sea realms at the age of twenty!

But the realm of sainthood!

If it were so easy to achieve, there wouldn't have been so many outstanding individuals in ancient times who were stuck at the Divine realm for their entire lives, unable to break through until death.

Instead of placing hope in others, it would be better to work harder oneself and take advantage of the opportunity presented by the boundary war to attempt to break through to the realm of sainthood!

"Liu Advisor, I wonder if the spirit crystals we refined before can withstand the probing of the Devouring Spirit Ancestor?" Zhang Daoxian asked.

Liu Zimo replied, "The spirit crystals I gave you are all First and Second Order spirit crystals, so there should be no problem resisting the Devouring Spirit Larvae."

"But for the Devouring Spirit Worms at the King realm or above, it may not be so secure!"

"Moreover, although the Devouring Spirit Ancestor cannot descend in its true form, it can release its spiritual body avatars."

"Each of its spiritual body avatars has a cultivation strength similar to the Spiritual Abyss realm. Even if I personally take action, it would take a great deal of effort to capture and kill them!"

Spiritual Abyss realm?

Zhang Daoxian's heart sank!

Previously, they couldn't even deal with the Devouring Spirit Larvae and almost perished.

If the Devouring Spirit Ancestor or its avatars were to descend, who in their entire sect could withstand them?

Even Linglong Venerable, caught off guard, would be unlucky, right?

After all, even the ancient spirit turtle, who had already reached the Divine realm, was controlled by the Devouring Spirit Ancestor's avatar. Linglong Venerable's cultivation had only recovered to the Peak of the Fetal Breath realm, let alone anything else!

"Liu Advisor!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Daoxian suddenly spoke firmly, "If we are willing to hand over the Dragon and Tiger Sect's 'Dragon Tiger Observing Method' to the Military Department, I wonder if Advisor Liu can point us in the right direction?!"

Damn it, even the sect couldn't be protected, so what was the point of considering inheritance?

Even though Zhang Daoxian knew that Liu Zimo was telling them all this to scare them, trying to make them voluntarily hand over the sect's secret inheritance and seek help.

But it was useless.

In order to survive, in order for the sect to continue and not be wiped out by the foreign demons, Zhang Daoxian could only go along with Liu Zimo's intentions and seek advice.

Beside them.

Hearing Zhang Daoxian's unauthorized decision, Jiao Linglong raised an eyebrow but did not speak up to stop him.

Obviously, it was also shocked by the mention of the Devouring Spirit Ancestor by Liu Zimo.

Still, if the sect itself was gone, then the so-called inheritance would be meaningless.

It had survived from ancient times to the present, loyal to the Dragon and Tiger Sect, but it was not foolish enough to sacrifice its own life and the lives of all the disciples in the sect in order to protect the sect's inheritance.

As long as there were people, the inheritance would exist!

If there were no people, no matter how powerful the inheritance was, it would only end up completely severed!

In the last era of the Dharma, Jiao Linglong had witnessed too many tragedies of ancient sects completely losing their inheritance.

"That's right!"

Liu Zimo squinted his eyes and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face as he softly spoke:

"With the arrival of the apocalypse and the sudden outbreak of demonic calamity, all the human races on Earth are facing the fate of being devoured or enslaved."

"This is no longer a matter of sects or nations, but a matter of life and death for all human races in the world."

"That's why the country wants to unify martial arts, promote it to the whole nation, and use it as a means of self-salvation."

"Now, it's not just your Longhu Mountain, but also Dalin Temple, Wudang Sect, Yuxun Martial Arts Hall, and so on. All martial arts sects are the same."

"If you want to survive, if you want to survive, if you want to keep your own sects alive, you have to stick together and be open-minded."

"Take out your own martial arts heritage or spiritual techniques for everyone to learn from, complement each other's strengths, and progress together..."

As Liu Zimo spoke, he became more and more excited, and unintentionally brought out the set he used to deceive the Wise and Round Saint in the past.

"Advisor Liu!"

After listening to Liu Zimo's rambling for a long time without getting to the point, Zhang Daoxian couldn't help but interrupt his ideological education class and said:

"We understand the reasoning, can you please tell us directly what the next step for Longhu Mountain is?"

"It's simple!"

Liu Zimo answered straightforwardly:

"Go to Luozhou!"

"Just like Dalin Temple did before, relocate the entire sect to Luozhou City!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoxian and Jiao Linglong looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Relocating the sect was indeed a feasible strategy, and they had thought about it just now.

After all, the mountain gate has already been targeted by the Old Ancestor of Devouring Spirits, and it is indeed not easy to stay any longer.

Even if they were reluctant, for the continuation of the sect, they had to move!

However, what they couldn't understand was why they had to go to Luozhou, thousands of kilometers away?

If they really wanted to relocate, couldn't they move to Nanling City, which is closer, or Longhai City or Shangjing City, which have better conditions?

In their impression, the reputation of Luozhou City is far less prominent than that of Shangjing, Tianjin, or Longhai, which are super first-tier cities.

"Why does it have to be Luozhou?"

Before Zhang Daoxian could ask, Jiao Linglong spoke first.

"Isn't Nanling City good? It's very close to Longhu Mountain and easier to relocate."

"And, if there's a chance, I can continue to cultivate using the underground spiritual veins under this cold pool..."

In the end, it was still reluctant to leave this underground spiritual vein in the mountain gate.

"Turtle, you tell them why!"

Instead of directly answering Jiao Linglong's question, Liu Zimo threw the question to the ancient spirit beast, Turtle Sui Shou.

Turtle Sui Shou stretched out its neck and buzzed:

"It's simple, of course, it's because Luozhou is the master's hometown!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the master will settle in Luozhou City in the future!"

"With the master sitting in Luozhou City, which devouring spirit worm would dare to cause trouble?"

After flattering Liu Zimo a few times, Turtle Sui Shou glanced lightly at Jiao Linglong and disdainfully said:

"As for the so-called spiritual veins that Jiao Linglong mentioned, it's just an ordinary gathering place of spiritual energy that hasn't even successfully opened up a secret realm. What's there to be attached to?"

"Do you know how many spiritual energy secret realms I've discovered following the master on this journey?"

"Ten places!"

"Almost every spiritual energy secret realm has thousands of jin of [Earth Vein Spirit Spring] reserves!"

"The three hundred jin of [Earth Vein Spirit Spring] that the master gave you to drink before is just a small part of it!"

"So, Jiao Linglong, can you let go of your thoughts and broaden your horizons, and follow the master without worrying about not finding better spiritual energy secret realms or lacking cultivation resources without you?"

Hiss~!

Upon hearing the old turtle's explanation, Zhang Daoxian and Jiao Linglong couldn't help but inhale sharply at the same time.

Is it true or false?!

Their group has actually discovered ten spiritual energy secret realms?!

What do they think spiritual energy secret realms are, cabbages growing by the roadside that can be easily found by digging around?

Don't joke around!

Even Jiao Linglong, who possesses the [Spiritual Perception] Divine Ability, hasn't been able to locate a single spiritual energy secret realm in all these years.

How could Liu Zimo be so amazing to directly discover ten?!

Jiao Linglong instinctively thought it was impossible, thinking that the turtle was just bragging for its master.

But...

When she thought about how Liu Zimo didn't even change his expression or heartbeat when he gave her three hundred jin of [Earth Vein Spirit Spring], Jiao Linglong became somewhat uncertain!

Seeing his generous gesture, it seemed like he didn't care at all about the three hundred jin of [Earth Vein Spirit Spring].

From this, it was not difficult to guess that Liu Zimo, who was rich and powerful, must control one or more spiritual energy secret realms!

Could it be that this Liu Guwen really has extraordinary luck and can easily find hidden spiritual energy secret realms?!

The reason why the turtle can recover so quickly is also because it has been benefiting from the [Earth Vein Spirit Spring] by following Liu Guwen, right?

Jiao Linglong's mind trembled slightly, and she instantly felt a sense of excitement and longing.

You see, in the past ten thousand years, its biggest dream was to find a spiritual energy secret realm, bathe in the spirit spring water inside the secret realm, and have a good, comfortable sleep!

Now, it seems that this wish may come true!

Of course, the premise is that the turtle is not lying and not deliberately fooling them.

Swish!

Two petite figures flew over.

It was Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao returning to the main hall after protecting the Taoists who were refining spirit crystals.

"Master!"

"Master!"

The two girls habitually landed behind Liu Zimo, one on the left and one on the right, bowing and reporting.

While reporting to their master, their extremely lively big eyes curiously observed Jiao Linglong standing in front of their master.

They felt that the aura on this sister was strange, not like the aura fluctuations that a normal human should have.

"Liu Guwen, this is our Dragon Tiger Mountain's core spiritual technique, [Dragon Tiger Observation Method]. Please take a look!"

At this moment, Zhang Daoxian decisively presented the [Dragon Tiger Observation Method] and continued, "In a few days, we will move our sect to Luozhou City. I hope that Liu Guwen can take care of us!"

For Zhang Daoxian, whether the spiritual energy secret realms were real or not was actually not important.

What was important was that with Liu Zimo, a powerful person sitting in Luozhou City, they could avoid the second attack and ambush of the Soul-Eating Old Ancestor!

After all, among all the martial and spiritual cultivation powerhouses that Zhang Daoxian knew, only Liu Zimo could discover and kill those Soul-Eating Demonic Insects that were impossible to guard against!
