”Master, you really are a master of the dao!”
The emperor laughed while clapping his hands. Other people might not be clear about the old eunuch's cultivation, but how could the emperor not be aware of it? As the emperor's personal eunuch, ordinary cultivators were not necessarily the eunuchs' match. Li Dao had forced the eunuch to retreat with a single glance and had even caused the eunuch to cough up blood with a look of shock on his face.
The old eunuch respectfully retreated to the side, the hostility in his eyes gradually fading away. He did not dare to look at Li Dao again.
Although there were countless experts in this world, there were not many truly experts in the human world.
The Old Eunuch was a grandmaster of condensing a true pill in the path of martial arts. He was comparable to a Demonic Lord. However, Li Dao had seriously injured him with just a single glance. This implied that the Old Eunuch was very clear about this.
In response to the Emperor's praise, Li Dao did not rush nor slow down as he replied in a flat voice, ”Your Majesty has praised me.”
The Emperor didn't care about Li Dao's attitude. As a master, he naturally had the demeanor of an expert. Arrogance wasn't anything much. He wasn't someone who couldn't tolerate others.
”May I ask where in the Immortal Mountain is the master of that great deity?”
The Emperor took a deep breath and started asking about Li Dao's inheritance.
Li Dao looked at the Emperor and replied, ”My master is from the Pure Spirit Treasure Faction, and he is a second generation disciple.”
Hearing Li Dao's reply, the Emperor cast a questioning look at the eunuch. If Li Dao were to say 'Dragon Tiger Mountain', 'Mao Mountain', or 'Laoshan', the Emperor would know about it. However, this teaching was unheard-of to the Emperor.
The emperor had heard of the name 'Shangguan Qing'. For example, the Green Mountain Sect and the Dragon Tiger Mountain Sect were both from the upper branch of the Pure Spirit Sect.
The eunuch shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it either.
”Haha, forgive the ignorant and ill-informed people, but I've never heard of the name of the interception. Since an expert came from the interception, I presume that he is also an immortal sect that will not appear in the outside world.”
The emperor chuckled as he tried to cover his embarrassment. As the king of the world, he had never heard of any sect under his rule. He really shouldn't have done so. However, it could also be because this parachute was too nameless, which was why he had never heard of it before, the Emperor thought.
Li Dao didn't explain anything. In the battle of the Conferred Gods Sect, the interception was almost dissolved. If the Sect Leader didn't come out, then there would be no concealment. It was normal for the people to not know about the interception.
Moreover, the people's school, the hermeneutics school, the interception school, were the source of the Taoist school. It would be strange if ordinary people could not hear them, as they had not reached a certain level of cultivation and thus did not know of the existence of the three sects.
For example, the famous Dragon Tiger Sect, the Emei Sect, which was founded by a second-generation disciple, and whose founder held the lifespan of a third-generation honorary disciple, was an example.
The Emperor and the Old Eunuch did not have much of a reaction. However, the expressions of the middle-aged Daoist beside Li Dao changed again and again. In the end, he knelt towards Li Dao.
Li Dao was puzzled. Could it be that this middle-aged Daoist was also from the Upper Qing?
After thinking about it, he concluded that the probability of success was very high. All the sects in this world originated from Tai Qing, Yu Qing and Shang Qing. It wouldn't be strange if the master of this middle-aged Daoist's sect was an apostle of a second or third generation disciple.
”Divine Firmament Chapter outer disciple Lin Mu greets Martial Ancestor. I wish Martial Granduncle a blissful and happy life!”
The middle-aged Daoist bowed to Li Dao with incomparable respect. He had even forgotten about the Emperor. The ancestor of the Divine Firmament Chapter was an honorary disciple of the second generation. It was not wrong for the Daoist to address Li Dao as Martial Ancestor. After all, Li Dao was the direct disciple of the Divine Firmament Chapter, so his status was definitely higher than the Divine Firmament Chapter's Patriarch.
”So you're one of my disciples. Get up first.” Li Dao calmly looked at the middle-aged Daoist. He felt that the Daoist's name sounded familiar, but he could not recall the exact details.
