Chapter 501

Zhao Shou and Yang Gong looked at each other. They didn't look surprised at all. Instead, they sighed.

"What's the problem, my dear ministers?"

Huaiqing asked in a dignified manner.

Zhao Shou shook his head.

"Xu Yinluo has dealt with the Confucian Crown before, but not with the artifact spirit."

"That's true …" Xu Qi 'an was stunned at first, and then he said,

"That's not a big deal, right?"

He had dealt with the Nation Guarding Sword many times, but the artifact spirit rarely communicated with him. When his cultivation was low, it didn't take the initiative to communicate with him.

But even after he became a Transcendent, the Nation Guarding Sword never took the initiative to communicate with him.

This divine weapon inherited from the founding emperor was like a majestic king. It did things quietly, never gossiped, never acted coquettishly, and never played tricks.

It was much cooler than the Taiping Saber.

Therefore, as the artifact of Confucian Sages and the Lesser Sage, it was understandable that the Confucian Crown was cool.

Wang Zhenwen was a sly old fox. He glanced at Zhao Shou and said tentatively,

"Seems like there's more to it."

Zhao Shou said frankly,

"That's true. In fact, the artifact spirit of the carving knife has always been sealed, and it was sealed by Confucian Sages himself."

Hearing that the artifact spirit of the carving knife had been sealed, everyone was shocked at first, wondering who could seal a supreme artifact. Then, they realized that it was sealed by Confucian Sages himself, which made them even more curious.

Xu Qi 'an said in surprise,

"Confucian Sages sealed the carving knife?!"

The Jinlian Taoist priest said in a deep voice,

"What exactly is the reason for the Confucian Saint to seal his magic weapon?"

Everyone in the hall had a solemn look on their faces. They realized that there might be a shocking secret behind this matter.

And it was related to Confucian Sages's secret.

"Ah, this …" Zhao Shou didn't know what to say when he saw how serious everyone was.

So, he looked at Yang Gong and gestured with his eyes, "You say it."

Yang Gong had a conflicted look on his face, and he looked back at him. 'You're the dean, so you should say it.

As the two were in a stalemate, Guardian Yuan slowly said,

"Lord Zhao's heart told me that it's really embarrassing to talk about this.

"Lord Yang's heart told me that it'll bring shame to Confucian Sages and the Confucians …"

Yang Gong and Zhao Shou's faces suddenly froze.

What a dishonorable thing, a disgrace to the Confucian Saint … Everyone looked at the two Confucian Transcendents with gossipy gazes.

Then, he immediately restrained his thoughts, not allowing them to spread disorderly — to guard against Protector Yuan's backstabbing.

"Ahem!"

Seeing this, Zhao Shou cleared his throat and could only bite the bullet.

"It was recorded in the Second Sage's essays: Every time my teacher wrote a book, the saber would fail. He would write another book, and the saber would fail again, wanting to teach my teacher. This repeated until my teacher sealed it."

"Confucian Gong" t. Teaching the Confucian Sage how to write with a carving knife? This is the legendary 'I am already a mature pen, I can write books on my own' … When I was studying, the pen in my hand had this awareness, and I would wake up laughing even in my dreams … Xu Qi 'an almost covered his mouth and burst out laughing.

He glanced at the crowd.

Wei Yuan picked up his teacup and drank his tea with a serious expression, hiding his expression.

The Jinlian Taoist priest pretended to look around.

Wang Zhenwen was dumbfounded. He felt as if his faith had been tainted and his worldview had collapsed.

Li Lingsu pointed his flying sword at Guardian Yuan's throat.

The others all had different expressions, but they all tried to keep calm.

Of course, there were some who didn't understand. Lina and Longtu were confused.

"There's nothing funny about it," Li Lingsu said with a straight face.

"Looks like we can't count on the carving knife."

Xu Qi'an said to ease the awkwardness of Zhao Shou and Yang Gong.

He asked, "What about the Confucian Crown? The Confucian Crown didn't teach Confucian Sage how to wear a hat, did it? "

"Pfft …" Li Miaozhen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Sorry, sorry!" Flying Swallow Heroine waved her hands.

Zhao Shou ignored Li Miaozhen and said helplessly,

"The Confucian Crown doesn't talk. Well, to be precise, the Confucian Crown doesn't like to talk."

"Why is that?" Xu Qi'an asked the question on everyone's mind.

Yang Gong answered on behalf of Zhao Shou.

"You should know that scholars study the Four Books and learn the Six Arts. Although they have learned a lot, they still need to focus on one subject."

"Yes!" Xu Qi'an nodded to show that he was knowledgeable.

He knew this. For example, Erlang majored in the art of war.

Therefore, Erlang appeared to be a scholar who lacked nothing but propriety, righteousness, and honor, but he was very sneaky in the dark. For example, he slept with the most popular courtesan in the Musical House and went home without a frown.

He was well-versed in the art of war to confuse the enemy.

Yang Gong took out the ruler from his sleeve and said,

"I've been teaching for 20 years and have students all over the world. Although I study the Book of Poetry, I've read the Three-Character Classic the most in recent years. That was why the ruler had become like this.

"As the saying goes, it's the father's fault for not teaching the son, and the teacher's laziness for not being strict."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ruler glowed with Light and was ready to move.

"See? That's how it behaves …" Yang Gong shook his head helplessly.

Azuro suddenly understood and said,

"So the Confucian crown of the Second Sage of the Confucian Family …"

Zhao Shou sighed,

"When the Second Sage was young, he was very talkative and often got into trouble by talking too much. When he was reprimanded by Confucian Sages, the Second Sage himself felt that it was inappropriate. So Confucian Sages gave him a piece of calligraphy called the Gentleman Be Careful with His Words!

"The Second Sage took it with him every day to comprehend, and the Confucian crown was born at that time.

"Therefore, it didn't say a word when it was born."

No wonder the carving knife and the Confucian crown never talked to me. One couldn't speak, and the other didn't like to speak … Xu Qi'an sighed and said,

"Is there any way to unlock the seal of the carving knife or make the Confucian crown speak?"

Zhao Shou shook his head,

"The seal of the carving knife was set by Confucian Sages, and there are only two ways to unlock it. First, wait for me to advance to the second class. Don't worry, the seal set by Confucian Sages on the carving knife can't be as powerful as the seal of a superior product.

"In fact, the Second Sage can also unlock the seal, but he can't disobey his teacher, so he didn't unlock the seal for the carving knife.

"When I advance to the second class, with the help of Mt. Qingyun's righteousness and the power of the Confucian crown, I should be able to unlock the seal with the help of the carving knife.

"Second, rescue the Supervisor.

"The Supervisor is a first class warlock and an expert in artifact forging. I know he has a way to bypass the seal and communicate with the carving knife.

"As for the Confucian crown speaking … the artifacts of the Confucian school have their own principles. Making it speak is harder than destroying it."

Neither of the two methods could be completed in a day.

Confucian Sages couldn't be counted on for the time being. For a moment, the meeting was at an impasse.

At this moment, Master Kou suddenly said,

"So, the Supervisor has already learned the method to advance to the Martial God Realm from the carving knife, so he helped Xu Qi'an to advance to the Martial God Realm?"

His words made everyone's eyes light up.

This was indeed a good entry point, and the possibility was extremely high.

In fact, everyone felt that this was the foundation of the Supervisor's plan.

At this point, they naturally found the second entry point — the Supervisor!

"If you want to know what a person's goal is, you have to see what he has done in the past."

A voice sounded in the hall.

Hearing this, everyone looked around, looking for the source of the voice, but couldn't find it.

Then, from the shadow under the tea table next to Ba Ji, the leader of the Poison Gu Division, emerged and slowly turned into a man in a cloak. The upper half of his face was covered by the hood, and the lower half of his face was pale because he hadn't seen the sun for years.

"Sorry, I'm used to it. I couldn't help it."

For a moment, he held back and hid.

The shadow apologized sincerely, returned to his seat, and continued.

"The Supervisor has been supporting Xu Yinluo, and everyone knows his goal of helping him become a Martial God. So, in the process, he must have injected the aptitude to become a Martial God into Xu Yinluo.

"There must be something different about Xu Yinluo and the half-step Martial God of Southern Border."

"It's luck!" Old Lady Heavenly Gu said slowly.

"And the saber," Xu Qi 'an added.

On the night when he defeated the Buddha and returned to the capital, he had already told in detail what had happened after he went to sea.

The Jinlian Taoist priest stroked his beard and analyzed.

"The Supervisor said that this is the proof that you are the gatekeeper, but not the Martial God's. In I's opinion, the key is not the saber, but the luck. "

"So, I need luck to become a Martial God?"

Chu Yuanzhen raised his doubts.

"Why does a Martial God need luck? It can't replace the Way of Heaven like a supreme grade. Moreover, after Xu Ningyan was enlightened with the Life Chaos Hammer, he could completely control luck, no, the fate of the country. But this only gave him the means of a Qi cultivator. "

Controlling the power of all living beings.

Seeing that no one refuted, Chu Yuanzhen continued.

"I think the Supervisor stored the fate of the country in Ning Yan's body so that he could better protect it from being robbed by the supreme grade, and even, even …"

Huai Qing glanced at him and said calmly,

"They could even use this to threaten him and cut off his path of retreat so that he would have no choice but to fight against transcendent-grade beings."

The sixth disciple nodded and said, "That's what the Supervisor would do."

The sixth disciple nodded and said, "This is what the Supervisor would do."

The second disciple gave him a thumbs up.

The current use of luck was only to allow Xu Qi 'an to control the power of all living beings, and this seemed to have nothing to do with becoming a Martial God.

The meeting reached an impasse once again.

In the silence, someone raised his hand and said, "I have an idea.

I have an idea. "

"You?"

Upon seeing that it was Li Lingsu, Li Miaozhen had a look of disbelief.

She looked like a younger sister looking down on her useless older brother.

Li Lingsu ignored her and said,

"A supreme rank cultivator needs to seize the destiny of the Nine States in order to replace the Heavenly Law and become the will of the Nine States.

"He can't become a Martial God now because he doesn't have enough providence."

"Then, will Xu Ningyan also need to do this?

"I'm not a Warlock, so I don't know how to seize providence.

"I'm not a Warlock, I don't know how to plunder destiny."

Li Lingsu waved her hand.

"Dual cultivation. You can use dual cultivation to gather the providence in Huaiqing's body. It's just like how you can transfer providence to Daoist Luo's body through dual cultivation to help her calm her karmic flames.

"Huaiqing is the ruler of the Nine Five Realms, and she has also absorbed the Dragon Breath into her body. It can be said that apart from you, she is the one with the most providence in the Central Plains.

"Why don't you try dual cultivation with His Majesty Huai Qing first? Perhaps you'll reap some unexpected rewards. It's better than wasting your breath here. "

That seems to make sense. This is indeed the line of thought that only the Sea King would have. Good heavens, Saint, I've wronged you. You have always been my good brother... Xu Qi 'an had a whole new level of respect for the Saint.

"I think you don't want to live anymore."

Li Miaozhen drew her sword.

Luo Yuheng also drew her sword, but Xu Qi 'an held it tightly.

"Don't be angry, National Master."

Huaiqing said emotionlessly,

"I'll take it that the Saint is joking."

The situation gradually calmed down.

…

"Confucian Sages passed away 1,200 years ago," Glazed Bodhisattva said, "Who is the other person who knows how to become an Martial God?"

"The Supervisor!"

The Poison God replied in an ethereal voice,

"You already know the answer."

Glazed Bodhisattva nodded,

"Everything he has planned is to create an Martial God and let him guard the Gate of Heaven."

"Kill the Supervisor."

The Poison God said, "Go overseas and let Huang kill the Supervisor. Don't bother him anymore."

Glazed Bodhisattva could feel the urgency in the Poison God's voice when he said this.

What did he see in the future … Glazed Bodhisattva put her palms together,

"Yes!"

…

Overseas, in the Ultimate.

A tall and graceful nine-tailed fox stood high in the sky, looking down at the Sinkhole from afar. She wore an animal hide wrap around her chest and a slit animal hide dress.

A vast "continent" floated on the water, covering the entrance to the Ultimate.

In the center of the continent, there was a huge black hole that could even swallow light.

The strong wind tugged at her skirt, messed up her hair, and fluttered her sexy and coquettish fox tail.

She only stood there for a quarter of an hour, but a tenth of her Qi and blood were sucked away.

Huang had fallen into a deep sleep, but his Divine Sense had become stronger.

This indicated that he was returning to his peak.

In the center of the black hole, there was an unnoticeable Light.

Although it was weak, it was never swallowed by the black hole.

It was the Supervisor's aura.

"The Supervisor said that in his plan, the dog man should have swallowed the Galo Tree to become an Martial God. It was an accident that the dog man and I went out to sea."

"What was his original plan?

"How does he plan to break Huang's seal and seize the door of light?"

As she thought about it, her furry, sharp ears twitched. She then turned her head and saw the waves crashing behind her. The Mermaid Queen stood on the waves and waved at her.

Nine-tailed Fox flew away.

"Your Majesty, we've gathered all the Transcendent Godfiend descendants we can find in the Arsu Archipelago."

The Mermaid Queen said respectfully.

Nine-tailed Fox nodded.

"Well done. Set sail immediately and leave this area."

Apart from gathering the Transcendent Godfiend descendants, she also wanted to try her luck in the Ultimate. She wanted to see if she could meet the Supervisor and learn how to become a Martial God from him.

Under the current situation, she would definitely die if she approached the Ultimate.

Even if Xu Ningyan came, he probably wouldn't be able to meet the Supervisor.

"I've tried my best …" she mumbled in her heart and led the Mermaid Queen to the Arsu Archipelago.

…

"Let's talk about providence later." Wei Yuan, who had been listening for a long time, finally spoke. He raised a question.

"If the Supervisor learned the way to become a Martial God from the carving knife, why didn't he tell Ning Yan the truth when he reunited with him overseas?"

Chu Caiwei said sweetly,

"There must be a reason why the supervising teacher can't say it."

Wei Yuan analyzed in an orderly manner.

"He must have expected the current situation. To stop the catastrophe, a Martial God must be born. Then, teaching the way to become a Martial God is crucial.

"The Supervisor might have his reasons for not telling us, but it doesn't mean that he didn't make arrangements in advance. Given the Supervisor's usual style, perhaps the way to become a Martial God has long been in front of us, but we just haven't seen it."

Wei Yuan's words caused the hall to fall silent.

Following Wei Yuan's train of thought, everyone actively racked their brains.

Luo Yuheng suddenly said,

"It's the carving knife!

"The answer left by the Supervisor is the carving knife."

Everyone was stunned. Then, they felt a sense of joy, as if they had suddenly turned around and found that person in the dim light.

They felt that the truth was as Luo Yuheng said.

Given the Supervisor's style and the restrictions imposed on the Heaven's Fate Master, if he really left the way to become a Martial God and put it in front of everyone …

Then, the carving knife would fit the bill.

Huaiqing immediately said,

"Scholar Zhao has condensed enough providence during this period, and it's only a matter of time before he reaches the Second Rank. When you become a Great Confucian, try to unlock the seal of the carving knife. Ask the carving knife how to become a Martial God. "

Zhao Shou bowed with hands folded in front.

"I understand."

"Providence should be the qualification to become a Martial God. The shadow leader is right about this … The fastest way to condense providence is to practice with Huaiqing …" Xu Qi'an tilted his head and glanced at the Empress.

The latter was expressionless and calm.

However, she quietly tightened her waist and straightened her back.

Xu Qi'an retracted his gaze and continued to think.

"If Confucian Sages knew the way to become a Martial God, he would have definitely left a message.

"I suspect that the carving knife was sealed not because it taught Confucian Sages to write books, but because it knew the way to become a Martial God. Confucian Sages hid the secret in the carving knife. "

"This meeting was not held in vain. Indeed, there is strength in numbers."

"We just have to wait for Zhao Shou to advance to the Second Rank."

At this time, Light overflowed from Granny Heavenly Gu's eyes. It was a smoke-like Light.

She maintained her sitting posture and didn't move for a long time.

"Granny has peeked into the future again," the charming Luan Yu explained in a low voice.

Peeking into the future at this time?

The Extraordinary Masters on Daibun's side were stunned for a moment. Then, they pulled themselves together and stared at Granny Heavenly Gu.

After a while, the Light in Granny Heavenly Gu's eyes disappeared.

She suddenly stood up and looked toward the south.

"Granny, what did you see?" Xu Qi'an asked.
