Chapter 327 The Old Man's Interview
Yu Zhantian's bedroom, which was originally quaint and elegant, was opened with a clang and the door was closed.
Suddenly it turned into an unknown mountain top. There was ice and snow on the peak, but there was no trace of coldness. It was very strange.
Yu Zhantian was sitting cross-legged in front of Lu Chen, with a faint smile on his skinny face, giving people a chilling feeling.
"Senior! What do you mean?" Lu Chen stared at Yu Zhantian's every move, communicating with the Golden Pearl World with his spiritual sense, ready to run away at any time.
“Hehehe…young friend, don’t be nervous. This is just a formation I set up to prevent others from interrupting our conversation.
My dear friend, please relax. You saved my life, and I will not hurt you."
Yu Zhantian said with a smile.
After hearing what he said, Lu Chen put away the knife blank in his hand, but remained vigilant. If he sensed any danger, he would immediately hide in the golden bead world.
After all, human hearts are unpredictable, and this old man is a big shot in the Nascent Soul stage. God knows whether what he said is true.
Yu Zhantian naturally saw Lu Chen's actions, but he didn't care and continued to smile:
“Hehehe… From the perspective of outsiders, the turtle death state is just a state of suspended animation formed under certain specific conditions. It is also extremely difficult to occur, and it can be said that it is only one in a billion.
Not many people have heard of this state, and even fewer can crack it.
Actually, this is not the case. In my early years, I accidentally encountered the divine thoughts of a senior in an ancient cave for cultivation.
Under the guidance of that senior's divine thoughts, I successfully obtained that senior's inheritance.
The method of tortoise breathing is recorded in the tradition. This method is based on the sea of consciousness and uses one's own thoughts as the flag of the formation to seal the three souls and seven spirits in the sea of consciousness.
You can avoid the power of the laws of heaven and thus increase your lifespan. When the time is right, the seal of the formation will automatically unlock and you will gain a hundred years of lifespan."
Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned and thought to himself:
"Oh no! My good intentions turned out to be bad. From what he said, the old man wanted to prolong his life.
Did he get himself into a dead state? If I save him, wouldn't that ruin the old man's good deeds?"
Thinking of this, Lu Chen took a few steps back without leaving a trace, keeping a certain safe distance from Yu Zhantian.
Yu Zhantian still didn't care when he saw this, and continued to smile:
"Because I couldn't break through again and my life span was coming to an end, I developed a hidden disease and spent more than half a year in pain and torture. At first, I also tried the method of tortoise breathing, but it didn't work.
It was not until I was on the verge of death and wanted to give up that a stream of true energy entered my body and I was able to successfully perform the tortoise breathing technique.
Now that I think about it, this method should require one to truly feel the breath of death in order to comprehend the mystery of life, so that it can be successfully performed.
What a pity, what a pity, maybe this is God's will, God knows that I have not yet fulfilled the oath I made, and by chance, you saved me again."
"Uh... hehe... I'm sorry, senior. I didn't mean to do that. Besides, I meant well, didn't I? Besides, I'm a good friend of your grandson Yu Xiao, so please don't blame me!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he was worried that the old man would be angry and take revenge on him, so he quickly explained in a flattering manner.
Yu Zhantian smiled mysteriously and said:
"Hehehe... This is all God's will. How could I blame you? I also want to thank you for helping me fulfill my oath."
"Hmm? Senior, what do you mean? I didn't do anything!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was completely confused as to how he was related to his oath.
At this time, Yu Zhantian said again: "
In ancient times, the Tianyuan Continent suddenly encountered a huge change. The intercontinental teleportation array connecting the four continents of Beichen, Nanyou, Dongxuan, and Xiji was destroyed and could not be repaired, causing the four continents to be cut off from each other.
Beichenzhou has three major regions: Northern Territory, Central Plains, and Southern Border.
After the great changes that happened that year, Zhao Wuji, the Palace Master of Wanzhen Palace in the Northern Territory, called on tens of thousands of formation masters in the name of Wanzhen Palace, as well as all the major forces in Beichen Continent to contribute manpower and resources, and spent huge sums of money to rebuild the intercontinental teleportation array.
However, the intercontinental teleportation array suddenly exploded midway, and the power of the explosion caused all the major forces to lose both their people and their wealth.
For a time, the Wanzhen Palace in the Northern Territory became the target of public criticism and suffered a devastating blow.
At that time, no one knew what caused the explosion. After the Wanzhen Palace was destroyed, the Palace Master Zhao Wuji was beaten half to death and disappeared.
The spiritual consciousness of the senior I met was the deputy palace master of Wanzhen Palace back then.
That senior made me swear a solemn oath, asking me to find the descendants of Zhao Wuji, the Palace Master of Wanzhen Palace, within my lifetime and help them restore the glory of Wanzhen Palace.
In order to obtain the inheritance of the Wanzhen Palace, I swore a poisonous oath. I thought that my time was coming and this matter would be left unresolved.
It was not until you broke the seal of the Turtle Breathing Technique that I knew that you must have also obtained the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Formations Palace, otherwise you would probably not be able to break the seal of this formation.
Then the burden of finding the descendants of the Zhao family falls on you. Do you think I should thank you?"
After hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood what was going on. He and the old man had had a similar experience.
When I first encountered the divine consciousness left by Zhao Wuji in the Endless Forest, didn’t I swear a solemn oath to help him find the descendants of the Zhao family?
If the old man hadn't mentioned it again today, Lu Chen would have forgotten about this matter completely.
In such a huge Beichen Continent, with trillions of cultivators, where could he find the descendants of the Zhao family? It was really a headache.
Lu Chen looked at Yu Zhantian strangely, feeling a sense of sympathy. He neither admitted nor denied it, and asked casually:
"Then, have you found any clues, Senior?"
Yu Zhantian didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, then threw a jade slip and an identity jade card to Lu Chen.
The jade tablet was the size of a palm, made of ten thousand year old black jade, with three large characters of Wanzhen Palace carved into the front, and three small characters of Zhao Wuji in the lower right corner.
It is exactly the same as the jade token in Lu Chen's hand.
Lu Chen probed his spiritual sense into the jade slip, and what he saw was indeed the "Illustrated Guide to Ten Thousand Formations".
At this moment, the scene in the room had unknowingly changed back to Yu Zhantian's bedroom.
"Hehehe...Okay! You can leave first! Just keep this matter in mind. Everything has its own destiny. I don't have anything to give you, so I won't give it to you."
Yu Zhantian smiled faintly.
After hearing the first sentence, Lu Chen thought that the old man was being modest and was going to give him some treasure, but in the second sentence, he directly said, "Then I won't give it to you!"
"Hehehe... Then I'll take my leave now. It won't be too late to send you off when you need anything else."
Lu Chen pretended not to hear the latter sentence, smiled awkwardly, then opened the door and left.
"Lu Chen! What did you and my grandfather talk about in there for so long?"
As soon as Lu Chen walked out, Young Master Yu Xiao ran over and asked curiously.
Yu Beiming, Yu Nanshan and Yu Lintang all looked at him sideways, because they were also curious as to why the old man would chat with an outsider for so long.
"Hehehe... It's nothing. The old man just wanted to thank me for saving his life and asked you to follow me in the future, be my follower, and serve me by pouring tea and water. There's nothing else to say."
Lu Chen, who did not receive any benefit, laughed with evil humor.
"Uh...get out! You're dreaming of having me serve as your follower."
Upon hearing this, Master Yu Xiao's face changed and he immediately became furious.
At this time, Young Master Yu Xiao seemed to have heard something, and then a look of delight appeared on his face.
"Hahahaha... Grandpa sent me a message through his telepathy, asking me to come in. You just wait here for a moment." Young Master Yu Xiao said with a smile.
"Forget it. I still have a lot of things to do. Come find me at the Chinese Mercenary Group in South City some other day!" Lu Chen said.
"Okay!" Master Yu Xiao nodded in agreement and then turned and went into the bedroom. Yu Beiming, Yu Nanshan and Yu Lintang also entered one after another.
Apparently they also received the old man's telepathic message.
Then, Lu Chen stepped on the Qinghong Flying Sword and flew towards the southern part of Half Moon City...
