Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1907 - 1908: Murong Liuqing

The momentum of the Wuliang Immortal Palace is quite overwhelming. At least Ling Zhenfei can feel that there are several layers of prohibitions, which are not easy to penetrate.

Even the two gatekeepers just now were exceptionally strong. Someone of Ling Zhenfei's ability couldn't even gauge their strength.

One truly wonders how many secrets exist within this Wuliang Immortal Palace.

Turning left and right upon entry, they finally stopped at the door of a room.

Murong Liuqing whispered a few words at the door, and a voice was heard from inside.

"You may come in."

Murong Liuqing opened the door and the two walked in. Upon entering, Ling Zhenfei saw the person inside and was somewhat surprised when he recognized him.

It turned out that this person was the old man he had met in the cave last time.

The old man saw Ling Zhenfei and smiled: "I didn't expect you to come out so soon."

Ling Zhenfei gave a deep bow and said, "Lingering too long in certain matters is not a good thing."

The old man invited them to sit down and took the seat at the head of the table.

Ling Zhenfei, without any formality, also sat down in a nearby chair.

The old man said, "Did you gain anything from the upper-level cave?"

Ling Zhenfei certainly did not dare to hide anything and replied, "Junior did gain, and it was quite significant."

The old man nodded and said, "The Wuliang Heart Sutra is a vast treasure. No matter who studies it, no matter how many years of research, one is bound to gain something from it."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Studying some of the seniors' research was immensely rewarding, and I am very grateful to Wuliang Mountain for providing such an opportunity."

Ling Zhenfei was very curious if the old man knew how he studied or if he was aware of his methods.

But since the old man didn't ask, Ling Zhenfei didn't offer an explanation.

The old man said, "Since you have studied the Wuliang Heart Sutra of the Infinite Old Ancestor, you are at least half a disciple of Wuliang Mountain now. I hope you develop well in the future."

Ling Zhenfei was startled, acknowledging the old man's point. Back in the cave, he had indeed paid homage to the Wuliang Heart Sutra with the reverence of a student to a teacher.

The research on the Wuliang Heart Sutra allowed Ling Zhenfei to progress rapidly, even to the extent that it was as beneficial as the cultivation techniques from the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth.

That's why Ling Zhenfei held the Wuliang Heart Sutra in such high regard.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Senior, I doubt you called me here just to share these words with me?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Of course not. You are about to head to the Foreign Land Space soon. You should know this journey is quite special.

Last time, our Three Great Immortal Palaces discovered traces of the Star Lord inside. I believe there will certainly be some harvest this time.

Thus, many experts are among those going to the Foreign Land. However, the cultivators over there will inevitably try to stop us, and many will join the battle.

How to put it—many are expected to die this time, and you must be mentally prepared for this."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Senior, I have a doubt and wonder if you can clarify it for me?"

The old man nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There is a legend that the Star Lord left behind the Heavenly God Sword in the Foreign Land Space. Possessing it grants the Star Lord's divine power, capable of defeating the reborn Demon King. Is this true?"

The old man smiled slightly and asked, "What do you think?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I feel it sounds too fantastical to be true. The Heavenly God Sword is merely a weapon of the Star Lord, and even if one obtains it, it would at most bestow some of the Star Lord's divine power.

I refuse to believe one could accept all of the Star Lord's divine power."

The old man nodded and said, "Your considerations are correct, but the search for the Heavenly God Sword was ordained by the divine master. The divine master is another deity besides the Star Lord's child, and we should trust in that."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I suspect this might be a Soul-Confusing Drug from the Heavenly Master. The true purpose is not for small cultivators like us to know.

But I presume the Three Great Immortal Palaces should be aware of these secrets. Do they not know?"

The old man laughed and said, "You certainly have a sharp mind, but some things cannot be clearly revealed to you just yet, so it's better not to ask."

Ling Zhenfei said, "So, senior, your words suggest that there are indeed other reasons. Can you tell me the truth?"

After a significant pause, looking at Ling Zhenfei, the old man said, "The tallest tree in the forest is meant to be broken by the wind, and it's not good for young people to be too smart. Some matters are not for you to understand at this point."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright then, senior, I won't ask. Since I am a Guest Elder of Wuliang Mountain this time, I will follow their lead. Whatever Wuliang Mountain does, I will do.

Even if I obtain something or make a mistake, it bears no consequence on me as long as I do what I ought to do."

The old man nodded and said, "Let's put it this way: if you come back from the Foreign Land Space and still wish to know, then you may come ask me."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, bowed to the old man, and said, "If I still need to by that time, I will naturally come ask you."

The old man said, "The reason I called you here today is also to inform you of one more thing: since you've studied the Wuliang Heart Sutra, regardless of whether you're willing, you're considered a disciple of Wuliang Mountain.

If Wuliang Mountain faces difficulties in the future and you have the ability to help, please lend a hand."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Of course."

The old man said, "Good that you agreed. You may leave now."

Ling Zhenfei stood up and bowed to the old man, then turned and walked outside.

After Ling Zhenfei left, Murong Liuqing remained behind and said to the old man, "Master, aren't you overestimating him a bit? He is merely at the Dawen Realm now, perhaps not even able to defeat me.

Yet you are entrusting him with possibly supporting Wuliang Mountain in the future, which seems to diminish our stature. I bet that kid is laughing inside."

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I am not mistaken in judging people. Although this boy is now only at the Dawen Realm, his future potential is limitless."

Murong Liuqing replied skeptically, "I don't believe it. Who can predict the future? You are not the Heavenly Master; how can you know what's to come?"

The old man said, "To enter the top floor of the Wuliang Book Tower at less than thirty years old has not happened in Wuliang Mountain for many years. Among the many Guest Elders this time, who else but him could achieve that?"

Murong Liuqing said, "Entering the Wuliang Book Cave is no big deal. Countless have entered since ancient times, but those who have made something of it are only a few Palace Masters."

The old man's face darkened and said, "To comprehend the Wuliang Heart Sutra, no one has dared to claim complete understanding throughout history, yet some insights can always be gained from it.
