In the deep mountains, the green forest was surrounded by clouds and mist. Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. On a narrow path in the mountains, two old men were leisurely taking a walk.
One of them was an old man in a Taoist robe. He had white hair and eyebrows. Although he was old, he had a sage-like demeanor. This person was Zhang Zhiwei, the sixty-fifth generation successor of the Celestial Master Residence.
The other was also an old man in a black suit with a white casual shirt. He looked very free and easy. He was Lu Jin, one of the Ten Old Men.
"For Zhang Chulan, you actually want to pass the position of heavenly master to him. Old heavenly master, I think you've gone senile.”
"Brother Lu Jin, I have my own plans for doing this. It's just that it's really not convenient to talk about it now. As for whether Zhang Chulan can inherit it or not, it will depend on his luck.”
The two of them were talking about the Heavenly Grand Ritual. Lu Jin found it hard to accept the purpose of the Heavenly Grand Ritual.
"Now that Zhang Chulan has the Qi Body Source, all the different sects are fighting against him. That's why they're working together to make things difficult for you and trying to stop him.”Lu Jin said.
"I know what you said, but it's useless to say anything now. Let's leave it to fate.”Zhang Zhiwei was very open-minded and did not seem to be under any pressure at all.
"Old Celestial Master, I don't have your temperament. If you can tolerate it, I definitely can't. If they want to see a joke, they have to ask me, Lu Jin, if I agree.”
"Brother Lu, we're already so old. Why do we have to fight for these things? Your temper hasn't changed at all.”
The two of them chatted as they walked and arrived at a pavilion. There were already several people sitting inside, as if they were specially waiting for the two of them.
Two of them, one fat and one thin, were particularly eye-catching. They were Wang Ai and Lu Ci, who were also one of the ten men.
Wang Ai not only inherited her family's martial arts, but she was also proficient in Spirit Capturing Divine General. Even Feng Zhenghao didn't know this secret.
Lu Ci was Lu Liang's great-grandfather. Other than the Bright Soul Technique, he was also good at many evil martial arts. He rarely revealed it.
As for the other two in the pavilion, one was bald and the other was a white-haired old man with glasses. Since they could appear here, they were very likely one of the Ten Old Men.
"Cough cough, everyone, the one who gathered everyone here today is Old Lu. Everyone, don't be nervous.”Zhang Zhiwei joked.
"Brother Lu, hasn't the Heavenly Grand Ritual already been settled? Why have you called us old fellows here?”Wang Ai asked.
"Hehehe, it's nothing. Seeing that everyone has put in so much effort for this grand event, I, Lu Jin, would really feel bad if I didn't express my gratitude.”
"Brother Lu, you're too polite. Us mutants have always followed the lead of the Celestial Master Residence. It's only right for us to contribute a little.”Lu Ci smiled.
Lu Jin looked at the two old foxes in front of him with disdain and casually said,"Although this Heavenly Grand Ritual is to gather all the extraordinary people in the world to participate in the selection of the Heavenly Teacher Inheritance, everyone knows that it's just to give us some face. There aren't many who really have this plan.”
"Oh? Could it be that Brother Lu has some good ideas? We would like to hear them.”
Lu Jin didn't answer. When he walked to the center of the pavilion, the aura around him suddenly changed. Runes that looked like lightning appeared. With a loud explosion, the entire pavilion was instantly blown into pieces. The power was shocking.
"Old Lu, what are you doing?"
"Could this be…"
"Hehe, that's right. This is one of the Eight Wondrous Skills, the Heavenly Book!”Lu Jin said leisurely.
"So that rumor was true! Brother Lu, you've hidden it very well." Lu Ci said.
Lu Jin looked at the expressions of the people around him. They were all people who knew what was good, so they naturally knew that it would not be fake.
"I, Lu Jin, hereby solemnly announce that if anyone is selected in this meeting and is not prepared to inherit the position of the Heavenly Teacher, I will pass this Heavenly Book to him!”
Lu Jin's words shocked everyone. Even Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but look shocked when he heard this news.
The Heavenly Book was listed as one of the Eight Wondrous Skills, and it was definitely worthy of its reputation.
Lu was a document used by Taoism to record the names of the Heavenly Officials, the Ten Immortals, the summoning of divine officials, and the implementation of spells.
From the power and nature of this skill, there were three characteristics: One was that it could quickly form talismans. It was obvious from the moment Lu Jin could use this skill. It did not require too much time to prepare at all. As the saying went, with Qi as the source, it could encompass everything. When one started to form talismans, it could evolve into myriad phenomena.
The second characteristic was all-encompassing. Many abilities in the variant human world could be achieved through talismans, such as: After reaching great success, it could seal one's meridians, defend oneself, ride talismans to fly, and draw the earth as a prison.
The third characteristic was that it was both offensive and defensive. This could be seen from Lu Jin's use of this technique to deal with all-rounded experts.
Now that Lu Jin had revealed this skill to the world, other than the pain he had endured for many years, he was also extremely ashamed of what had happened back then.
In order to give an explanation to his descendants or to leave a quiet world for himself, he wanted to take advantage of this Heavenly Grand Ritual to make the Heavenly Book public to the world.
As for Lu Jin's Heavenly Book, it was not created by himself, but by his close friend Zheng Zibu of the Shang Sect. However, after this person comprehended this skill, he was constantly hunted down and finally ended up in a state that was neither human nor ghost.
Before he died, he passed the Heavenly Book to Lu Jin in order to prevent it from being lost. After decades, Lu Jin felt extremely sad every time he thought of this.
The appearance of the Heavenly Book was bound to set off a storm, which also added more variables to the Heavenly Grand Ritual.
Gao Ye stayed in the presidential suite of the Tian Xia Group. Other than practicing, his mind was not idle.
This time, besides locking onto his target, he also had his eyes on the Heavenly Book.
He knew that Lu Jin had promised that only those who were chosen during the Heavenly Grand Ritual and did not inherit the position of Heavenly Master would be qualified to obtain it.
Judging from the development of the matter, Zhang Chulan had the last laugh. He indeed did not choose to inherit the position of the Heavenly Master. As for the Heavenly Book, he did not accept it either.
This was the result that Gao Ye already knew. If he wanted to participate, who knew what changes this outcome would have. Oh, it was indeed worth looking forward to.
