"…" After listening to Zhang Chulan's words, Zhang Zhiwei remained silent with a calm expression. It was obvious that he didn't intend to answer any questions about the Celestial Master Degrees.
But sometimes, silence and refusal to answer questions were enough to explain certain things.
Zhang Chulan saw that the old man was still keeping his mouth shut even after she had explained the matter so clearly. Naturally, she was able to confirm some of the guesses in her heart.
Feng Bao Bao's background and current situation might be directly related to the eight unique skills …
The Eight Mystical Skills that the Thirty-Six Thieves had developed back then were very likely related to the Celestial Master Path of the Righteous Celestial Master Path. It was even possible that something behind the Celestial Master Path helped a small number of people to comprehend their own unique skills …
After all, the Celestial Master of Mount Longhu's attitude towards the Celestial Master Degrees was exactly the same as the 'thieves' who were caught back then. No matter what, he couldn't open his mouth to explain the key points of the matter.
The Celestial Master Degrees' restriction technique was obviously extremely powerful. To be able to restrict someone of the Celestial Master's level, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a powerful technique that had never been heard of before …
So …
If Wu Gensheng and the others hadn't deciphered the Celestial Master Degrees, or if there was something extremely similar to the Celestial Master Degrees …
Zhang Chulan couldn't think of any other reason why the 36 Thieves, who had witnessed the birth of the eight unique skills, were infinitely close to the person who possessed the Celestial Master Degrees.
He didn't know what other secrets there were in this world, nor did he understand what the Celestial Master Degrees represented. Even the uniqueness of the Celestial Master Degrees … was only discovered when he rejected the Celestial Master Degrees.
So …
For Zhang Chulan, who didn't know the meaning behind the Celestial Master Degrees, and didn't know if there were similar things in this world, the first thing that came to his mind … was naturally the Celestial Master Degrees that his grandfather might have come into contact with.
After all, his grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi, was the direct disciple of the previous Celestial Master, and a member of the 36 Thieves who called Wu Gensheng 'Fourth Brother'. It was indeed possible that he might have leaked the secret of the Celestial Master Degrees …
As for the reason …
Regardless of whether he wanted to continue becoming stronger or not, he did not want to lose to his senior brother, Zhang Zhiwei.
Or did he accept the other party's request with the intention of helping …
Zhang Chulan considered his grandfather's attitude towards the Inhumans in his later years and the undeniable facts that happened back then. The only thing he wanted to confirm now … was the relationship between the Sage Degree and the Eight Mystical Techniques.
As for the rest …
Unless it was related to the karma of Feng Baobao's background and current situation, everything else would only be unnecessary trouble for him.
"Grand Master, are you unwilling to answer, or are you unable to answer just like before?" Zhang Chulan raised his eyes to look at the old man who was sitting cross-legged in front of him. He already had a fairly clear answer in his heart.
"If you're unwilling to answer, you can ask us juniors to leave now. But if you're unable to answer like before, then this Celestial Master Degree that is only passed down from previous generations of Celestial Masters … is indeed related to the so-called Eight Mystical Skills?"
"… Idiot." Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Chulan and the other two and shook his head.
"Whether it was that big-eared thief Huaiyi back then, or the three of you young juniors now … why can't you be loyal to the path under your feet?"
"Why do you always have to pursue those things that are incompatible with the way of the world …"
As he said that..,
The old man looked at Zhang Chulan with some displeasure and said,
"Your grandfather did make a mistake back then. Whether it was his collusion with people like Rootless Sheng or his brotherhood with him to create those so-called Eight Mystical Skills … this was undoubtedly a decision that a disciple like him should not have made."
"At the end of the day, he was competitive and unwilling to lose to anyone in cultivation …"
"Although the orthodox sect is famous for being protective of their own, they will not invert right and wrong in certain matters. You all say that this world is not a black and white world, but I feel that cultivators can't really stay away from the secular world. Right and wrong … have to draw a line in their hearts."
"Black can't always be black, and white can't always be white. Although the two of them are constantly changing with time, and there have even been instances where history has been reversed, gray … is the most difficult day to become the right choice."
"Your grandfather's actions back then, even if it was only for his own cultivation and he didn't really do anything out of line, in our eyes, he was still a demon who was bringing disaster to the world like Rootless Sheng …"
"Your grandfather and our master back then, the reason why the previous generation of Celestial Masters wanted to pass on his teachings and even pass on the position of Celestial Master to him in order to save his life, wasn't it because they wanted him to atone for everything he had done on this mountain …"
"In the end …"
"Just for the sake of personal feelings in his heart, he completely gave up on his own cultivation. He would rather lead all of you down the mountain and wander around for the rest of his life than tarnish the mountain gate of Mount Longhu because of his own sins …"
"But in reality …"
"Although your grandfather's actions back then could be considered to have affected the progress of the inheritance selection on the mountain, in the heart of the previous generation of Celestial Master, as well as in the eyes of your Private Advisor Tian and me … the choice he made in the end was the one that truly tarnished the inheritance of the sect."
"Chu Lan, do you know why I said that …"
"I think in the heart of the Grand Advisor …" Zhang Chulan said with an apologetic smile.
"In order not to implicate the sect, my grandfather made a choice that, on a certain level, he gave up his own cultivation … This is the last thing a disciple should do, right?"
Hearing this …
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Chulan in surprise. After a long time, he nodded and said,
"That's right …"
"It seems that you are indeed more shrewd than your big-eared thief grandfather, and you don't always like to play petty tricks like him …"
"Sect …"
"It's just a tool that allows people to accept the teachings and inheritance better. The most important thing has never been the rise and fall of a tool like the sect, but whether the things passed down in it will gradually fade with time …"
"The choice your grandfather made back then was tantamount to fundamentally denying the teachings of your Grand Advisor. It also reduced the relationship between our sect and your grandfather to a cheap thing …"
"Zhang Huaiyi …"
"Not only did he collude with the Rootless Life, and not only did he become sworn brothers with 35 people and give birth to the Eight Strange Skills, every decision he made back then, every step he took … he personally pushed himself away from the right path time and time again."
