228. Chapter 228 Recognize Relatives, Saint Liu Yuan!
In the following days,
Qingyun Patriarch stayed in Longhai City, behaving honestly and peacefully.
Meanwhile, the other forty-one ancient sects, after learning from the valuable experience of gathering the sect's luck from Qingyun Palace, one by one went crazy.
Some imitated Qingyun Palace directly, using the same method of recruiting and testing, with a reward of three military merits. This was still very attractive to the ordinary residents of the city.
Some made slight modifications, directly increasing the reward of military merits from three to ten points, instantly causing the whole city to boil with excitement.
Some sects even broke through the lower limit and cooperated with the local community, taking the initiative to bring warmth to the people.
Not only did they offer free household testing, but they also gave ten military merits and ten catties of monster beast meat that could be consumed by ordinary people. Their sincerity was overflowing.
In short, in order to gain the recognition of the people in the city and quickly gather a large amount of popularity to enhance the sect's luck, the forty-one ancient sects came up with various methods, just like the scatterbrained spendthrift, constantly giving out all kinds of benefits to the residents of the cities they guarded.
Regarding this,
Liu Zimo naturally welcomed it.
As long as these ancient sects didn't engage in crooked ways and deliberately deceive people, he would let them do as they pleased.
As for the saints and ancestors who could be summoned back at any time, Liu Zimo was not worried at all.
In fact, he even had some expectations in his heart.
Whether the returning saint was a madman like the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint or a law-abiding citizen who cooperated obediently like Qingyun Patriarch, they were all resources and benefits to Liu Zimo.
Either become good brothers or become good "leeks" (idiom for easy targets), no matter how he chose, Liu Zimo wouldn't lose out.
Finally,
After these ancient sects continued to carry out their spending activities for over a month,
The second human ancient saint appeared in the void with a loud bang.
Unlike the inconspicuous arrival of Qingyun Patriarch,
When the saint of the Yuliu Sect returned, not only was there auspicious clouds accompanying him, but there was also the roaring of the Great Dao. The phenomenon caused by this directly spread throughout the world!
For a while, the entire Human Federation, as well as all the ancient sects, knew about the return of Saint Yuan from the Yuliu Sect.
However, with the phenomenon of the first appearance of the Immortal Turtle Demon Saint as a reference, the residents of the federation were no longer as panicked as they were when they saw such a scene for the first time.
They all looked up and gazed at the ancient saint dressed in luxurious clothes, radiating holy light, looking radiant and majestic.
In Qingyun Palace,
Seeing that the return of Saint Yuan caused such a commotion, Qingyun Patriarch couldn't help but sneer and complain,
"This show-off, he just loves to flaunt!"
"He could have returned quietly without making such a big fuss. Who is he trying to impress?"
"Isn't he just telling Liu Zimo that he's a troublemaker?"
Typical of someone who has nothing better to do than to provoke others!
Hearing this, Zuoqiu Daoist nodded in agreement.
One should not be too arrogant in life, even if they are a saint. There are times when one must compromise.
Don't be fooled by the current impressive performance of Liu Yuansheng, the saint of Yuliu Gate. He may seem cool and stylish now.
But when Advisor Liu knocks on his door later, he will know what it means to be the first target.
The disciples of Yuliu Gate naturally rejoiced and prostrated themselves on the ground to welcome their holy ancestor's return!
As for the other forty ancient sects, they all felt envious and bitter.
Why did Yuliu Gate take the lead with the same tactics and methods?
No, we must step up our efforts and be the first to welcome back our own saint before the other sects!
Stimulated by the return of Liu Yuansheng, the remaining forty ancient sects immediately followed suit, increasing their spending speed by more than three times!
While continuing to spend money to win hearts, the gaze of all the ancient cultivators converged on the gate of Yuliu Gate.
They also wanted to see how Liu Yuansheng, who made such a grand entrance, would be humiliated when he encountered Liu Zimo.
It is worth noting that the rumored Liu Yuansheng is notorious for his arrogance and conceit.
He even dared to challenge the Primordial Dao Ancestor back then, never admitting defeat, and was extremely arrogant.
With such a unique saint returning, they could already guess that there would be a good show to watch.
Coincidentally, the city where Yuliu Gate is stationed is Guangyuan City, not far from Luozhou City, making it more convenient for Liu Zimo to take the initiative.
"Hmm?!"
"Eh?!"
"What's going on? Why didn't Liu Yuansheng descend in Guangyuan but directly in Luozhou City?"
"Did Advisor Liu already make a move in secret, or did Liu Yuansheng provoke him?"
Soon, everyone discovered that Liu Yuansheng, radiating holy light, descended from the void.
The landing location was not Guangyuan City where Yuliu Gate was stationed, but Luozhou City where Liu Zimo was stationed.
In an instant, everyone went crazy, wishing they could bring a bag of popcorn and a cup of cola, sit in place, and watch the show.
This was a blatant provocation.
Indeed, he was the legendary Liu Yuansheng, truly fierce!
Everyone praised Liu Yuansheng's brave actions, but the laughter and schadenfreude in their eyes couldn't be concealed.
Although they also wanted to remove the shackles of Liu Zimo, which had been weighing on them all along.
But after witnessing Liu Zimo single-handedly slaying the Xian'ao Demon Saint and instantly subduing Qingyun Old Ancestor.
Liu Zimo's image of strength and invincibility had been deeply imprinted in their minds.
The ancient cultivators from the forty-two ancient sects, including the disciples of Yuliu Gate, did not have high expectations for Liu Yuansheng.
If someone were to place bets now, even if Liu Zimo's odds were close to zero, everyone would unhesitatingly bet on Liu Zimo to win.
"Old Ancestor, please reconsider!" As soon as Liu Yuansheng's figure descended into the sky above Luozhou City, Xia Qiuyu, the head of Yuliu Gate, rushed over frantically, shouting to stop him.
"Master, Advisor Liu has saved our Yuliu Sect's life. I hope you will think twice and not take action against Advisor Liu!" Xia Qiu Yu's face was anxious.
Now, she finally understood the refreshing feeling that Zuoqiu Dao Ren had when he saw Qingyun Lao Zu wanting to find trouble with Liu Zimo!
These long-absent saints were all used to being high and mighty.
Looking down on everything, stubbornly self-centered, not putting any cultivators from the mortal realm in their eyes.
Before receiving a real lesson, they simply didn't believe that there were people in this realm who could pose a threat to them!
They simply wouldn't listen to advice!
"Qiu Yu, when did you become so timid and fearful?" Saint Liu Yuan furrowed his brow slightly, looking dissatisfied at Xia Qiu Yu who was blocking his way, and said in a low voice,
"Also, which eye of yours saw that I came to cause trouble for Liu Zimo? Am I such a person who lacks manners?"
"I just wanted to come and see if this outstanding descendant of the Liu family is the excellent bloodline left behind by my Yuchuan Liu family!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu Yu couldn't help but twitch her mouth.
Her own master was too narcissistic. Just because someone's surname is Liu and they perform so well, he directly suspects that they are the bloodline left behind by their old Liu family.
Really... the Yuchuan Liu family's bloodline was already cut off and their clan heritage was extinguished 100,000 years ago, okay?
Now it's already 100,000 years later, a new era of spiritual energy revival. At this time, what relationship could the Liu surname have with the Yuchuan Liu family from 100,000 years ago?
However, although she felt that her master's actions were unreasonable, Xia Qiu Yu still felt slightly relieved in her heart.
After all, searching for relatives is always better than seeking revenge, right?
Swoosh! Liu Zimo appeared in the sky above Luozhou City with his two disciples.
He looked at this Liu surname saint who wanted to recognize him as a relative with some speechlessness.
This guy is a bit too narcissistic.
Not to mention that he couldn't possibly be the bloodline of the Yuchuan Liu family, even if he was, that would be something from hundreds or thousands of generations ago, okay?
Normal bloodlines, after the fifth generation, have little to no contact and are like strangers, let alone distant relatives from tens of thousands of years ago.
However, to Liu Zimo's surprise, the lock shadow floating above Saint Liu Yuan's head was not the gray-white stone lock like Xian'ao Yao Saint and Qingyun Lao Zu.
Instead, it was a liquid lock shadow that seemed to be composed of clear water!
Transparent and colorless, with shimmering waves.
Compared to the gray-white stone lock above Qingyun Lao Zu's head, it had a few more unique and lively characteristics.
This unexpected change truly surprised Liu Zimo.
He originally thought that after reaching the Saint realm, the physical bodies of these saints would transcend, and their aptitudes would change dramatically, which is why the illusory lock shadow above their heads evolved into substantial gray-white stone locks.
But now, seeing the new lock appearing above Saint Liu Yuan's head, Liu Zimo realized that his previous speculation was not entirely correct.
"First the stone lock, then the water lock. Will there be gold locks, wood locks, and fire locks next?"
Liu Zimo muttered to himself and naturally thought of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
But whether it is correct or not, it still depends on what material the lock shadows above the heads of other saints will be after they return.
For now, let's just focus on locking this water lock in front of us!
Snap!
As Liu Zimo's thoughts moved slightly, the liquid lock shadow that had been suspended above Saint Liu Yuan's head instantly fell.
At the same time, a familiar prompt sounded in his ear:
[Binding successful! Your good brother, Saint Liu Yuan, is online. Currently available binding targets (89/100).]
"Are you Liu Zimo?"
At this moment, Saint Liu Yuan's gaze also shifted to Liu Zimo. After looking him up and down, he praised in a soft voice:
"Indeed, young and promising. You have a bit of the invincible style that I had in my prime!"
"Come, let me take a good look and see if you have any connection with my Yu Chuan Liu family!"
As he spoke, Saint Liu Yuan directly flashed to Liu Zimo's side, intending to take his blood to verify Liu Zimo's bloodline inheritance.
However, before he could take the next step, he was blocked by an invisible net of laws.
"Heh, you can even display the Law Cage. You really have some skills!"
Seeing the Law Cage enveloping him, Saint Liu Yuan showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he was not overly astonished.
Raising his head, he looked at Liu Zimo with a more appreciative gaze and said loudly:
"No wonder that idiot Xian Ao fell into your hands. Now I'm even more curious to know if you are truly a descendant of my Yu Chuan Liu family!"
As he spoke, Saint Liu Yuan waved his right hand and actually set up a relatively crude and mini Law Cage in front of himself.
Boom!
The cages collided, and the power of the laws eroded and dissipated each other.
The law threads arranged by Liu Zimo on the outermost layer actually rapidly disintegrated into a circular gap under such collision.
Swish!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Saint Liu Yuan broke free from the cage and reappeared in front of Liu Zimo with a proud look on his face.
"Didn't expect that, did you, junior!"
With his head held high, Saint Liu Yuan arrogantly said:
"Although your Law Cage is incredibly powerful, with thirteen different Great Dao laws alone, it is not truly invincible."
"It's only those two losers, Xian Ao and Qing Yunzi, who couldn't even display the Law Cage, that were trapped by you!"
"But if you think you can deal with me using this move, you've got the wrong person!"
Seeing this, Liu Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.
He didn't expect that his most handy Law Cage would be broken in this way.
It must be said that this Saint Liu Yuan really has some skills! (End of this chapter)
