Chapter 139 Every Other Existing Literature Are Just Footnotes (2/2)

Shen Lian felt that he shouldn’t disturb Chen Jianmei before the challenge as he did not want Chen Jianmei to get distracted.

But he was curious about one thing. He asked, ”Qingyi, you looked like you’re about the same age as I am and you don’t look like a Huandan connoisseur. Why do you address the master of the Temple of Killings as brother? It seemed like you guys belonged to the same generation.”

The world of cultivation practices the hierarchical system. Even if he was a disciple of the Xuantian sect, he shouldn’t sound so proud, as if he was of same seniority as Chen Jianmei. It seemed a little rude and its contrasting to his previous behaviour.

Song Qingyi answered with a smile, ”I am nineteen years old this year. If I’ve achieved Huandan, I would have set a record to be quickest to achieve it. Even if I was an immortal in the previous life, I won’t be able to achieve it that soon either. Also, I have just had a breakthrough and I am focused on working on my mana. But if I to address Brother Chen Jianmei as a senior, he might not deserve it. To be honest, my mentor is Xiang Shan Zhenren. If you’re familiar with the world of cultivation, you would understand.”

To Shen Lian’s surprise, Song Qingyi was actually the disciple of Xiang Shan Zhenren; and probably a direct disciple. No wonder he would address himself in the same seniority level as Chen Jianmei.

Immortal Zhenren generally did not have a fix whereabouts. But there were also exceptional ones like Xiang Shan Zhenren. His real name is Lu Jiuyuan and he had lived through thousands of years. He specializes in Xuantian sect’s the ”Enlightenment Scripture” that no one has managed to master over the sect’s history. He once had a devotion ceremony after reaching enlightenment and the first sentence he said was, ”Learn from your heart, every other existing literature are just footnotes.”

The meaning behind his words were, if one wanted to obtain knowledge, they should not be constrained to past literature and instead should look for different sources and try different means. And that was what he meant by using existence literature just as footnotes.

He was extremely vigour and was Xuantian sect’s most robust person ever since it was founded.

Furthermore, since he started cultivating, he had yet to be defeated. After attaining Dao, he was less involved. Yet, he was recognized as Xuanmen’s number one and he was untouchable. Ever since Lu Jiuyuan attained Dao, he had never left Xuantian sect and devote himself to writing. Besides that, he did not have any Dao enemies and was extremely decisive. Anyone who became his enemy were either dead or seriously wounded. That was because of his concept of ‘a million scriptures annotate me and I annotate a millions scriptures’. Once his mindfulness shakes a little, people would be able to see the cause and effect and he usually did not miss his target. Therefore, one could try applying all sorts of tricks when in feud with him but it would never be enough to escape from him.

And that was why Song Qingyi had the guts to roam around despite only achieving his breakthrough recently. Even if he did not carry any protective protective talisman , the name ‘Lu Jiuyuan’ was good enough to induce fear among many skilled cultivators.

That sure was an overwhelming figure and many elderly immortals were probably waiting for him to breakaway and leave. After all, nobody likes to have someone so repressive above them.

At the same time, the Enlightenment Scripture was one of a kind in this world and it could possible match the methods of Taixu Strategy. Unfortunately Grandmaster Qingshui and Lu Jiuyuan were of different generations and never had the chance to experience the sparks of the duel between the two invincible Dao methods.

Perhaps when Grandmaster Ziling Fairy attained Dao with the Taixu Strategy and absorbed the experiences from the past and current lifes, she could challenge Lu Jiuyuan to be the number one person of Xuanmen.
