Chapter 89 – Master Uncle becomes Master Ancestor, the most suitable cultivation system

"If that's the case, it seems I can't escape this matter either."

"Among those who knew me at the Kunlun Sacred Ground seven hundred years ago, probably only Jiang Bufan is left."

"If I appear before him again, he might guess my secret."

"Once the secret is out, I'll become the enemy of the world."

Li lowered his head, not responding to this topic. Ever since he met Chen Changsheng, he had always kept his name from spreading. At first, he thought it was because Chen Changsheng was indifferent to fame and fortune. Now, he finally understood the reason.

Over seven hundred years ago, Chen Changsheng had already reached the Divine Transformation Realm, meaning he had lived for centuries even then. Now, more than seven hundred years later, Chen Changsheng was still alive. Unlike those lifeless old relics, Chen Changsheng was full of vitality. The only explanation for this was that Chen Changsheng, true to his name, had achieved immortality!

Seeing Li's silent demeanor, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Alright, don't be so serious. Since I'm here to see you, it means I don't mind you knowing this secret. Let's discuss our next steps."

Hearing Chen Changsheng speak, a smile appeared on Li's face. Chen Changsheng's words proved that he trusted him and didn't see him as an outsider.

"Sir, what do you plan to do?"

"What else can I do? Of course, eliminate the threat!"

"I can't be sure about the Kunlun Sacred Ground, but taking down Jiang Bufan shouldn't be a problem."

"He's the master of the Sacred Ground now. We can't kill him there."

"The only way is to lure him out through a Grand Dao dispute."

"To achieve this, you'll need to cooperate with me from the inside and outside."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's intention to return to the Kunlun Sacred Ground, Li hesitated, "Sir, isn't this a bit dangerous?"

"It is a bit dangerous, but since it started because of me, it should end with me."

"You don't think I'm the kind of person who just throws trouble onto others, do you?"

"Hehehe!"

"Sir, how could you be that kind of person!"

"Others might not know you, but I do!"

"You act with integrity, always seeking a clear conscience. There's hardly anyone like you in the world..."

"Stop!"

Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes and interrupted Li's flattery.

"Enough with the flattery, I'm not into that."

"Go call your disciple in. I have some things to tell her, and she can also listen in on our discussion of the Dao."

"This will benefit her future cultivation."

"What discussion of the Dao?"

Li instinctively asked, and Chen Changsheng's gaze "struck" him.

"What, do you think your current cultivation system is perfect?"

"Or do you think your cultivation level is higher than mine, and I have no right to discuss the Dao with you?"

"You haven't even figured it out yourself, yet you dare to take on disciples and teach others. Truly shameless!"

Faced with Chen Changsheng's words, Li repeatedly apologized and quickly fled the room.

...

In the room.

The once proud Gongsun Huaiyu now stood obediently like a well-behaved child. There was no choice; Chen Changsheng's background was too intimidating. Her master was taught by him, and now he was here to participate in the Hero's Gathering. It's important to note that participating in the Hero's Gathering had a requirement: the bone age must not exceed a hundred years.

Chen Changsheng's successful participation could only mean two things. First, his methods were extraordinary, allowing him to alter his bone age. If that were the case, Gongsun Huaiyu would be merely shocked by his incredible power. But what Gongsun Huaiyu feared was the second possibility: immortality! Such a concept had always been a fantasy, but now it had become reality. Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle!

Seeing Gongsun Huaiyu's expression, Chen Changsheng said calmly, "Girl, if you've guessed some things, it shows you're smart. But guessing doesn't mean you can speak recklessly, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Huaiyu nodded repeatedly, "I understand, sir. I won't speak carelessly."

Seeing her anxious eyes, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and didn't scare her further. After all, she was just a child under a hundred years old. He only teased her because he was in a good mood after meeting an old friend.

After a brief scare, Chen Changsheng continued, "The world is changing greatly now, and countless heroes are creating new cultivation systems. At the Hero's Gathering of the Kunlun Sacred Ground, I observed many. Some start from the body's acupoints, others from the meridians. Some even start from intent; the Grand Elder Jiang Feng of Kunlun Sacred Ground is a master of intent, his sword intent unparalleled."

"Having seen so many heroes, who do you think among these paths is superior?"

Faced with this question, Gongsun Huaiyu and Li didn't know how to answer. In today's world, heroes abound, each representing a cultivation system. Although some heroes are stronger than others, determining which cultivation system is the strongest is difficult.

After thinking for a while, Gongsun Huaiyu tentatively asked, "Sir, I can't answer this question. Do you know?"

"Sorry, I don't know either, and there's no need to know."

Gongsun Huaiyu: ???

You don't know, so why act so mysterious?

"You must understand, there's never only one path to the peak."

"The Grand Dao is as numerous as the stars, and any path cultivated to the extreme can reach the peak."

"The Golden Elixir system being rejected by the world is true, but that doesn't mean it's wrong; it just doesn't fit this era."

"When you obsess over finding the strongest path, you've already gone astray."

"To be precise, you should find a path within the Dao that is the most stable and suitable for this era."

"After all, only those who laugh last can be considered winners."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, many things flashed in Li's eyes, and some of his cultivation doubts showed signs of loosening. At the same time, Gongsun Huaiyu suddenly realized, "Sir, you mean to say we shouldn't be limited by the highs and lows of a particular realm."

"For example, a cultivation system might be weaker in the second or third realm compared to others, but after reaching the fourth realm, it could undergo a dramatic change."

"Hehehe!"

Chen Changsheng laughed and pointed at Gongsun Huaiyu, "Li! Your disciple is indeed perceptive."

Proud of Chen Changsheng's praise, Gongsun Huaiyu felt a small sense of pride. After all, it was praise from the Master Ancestor!

Calming her excitement, Gongsun Huaiyu continued, "Sir, among today's paths, which one is the most suitable?"

"Of course, it's the one we're cultivating!"

"I've studied the directions of qi and blood, meridians, acupoints, and intent."

"Based on these directions, one can indeed create powerful cultivation systems, but none are the most suitable for this era."

"The most suitable for this era is only body cultivation!"

"Body refinement?"

"Not body refinement, but body cultivation!"
