This world is vast, with countless dynasties and countless martial arts worlds, and they don't communicate with each other.
But even after a thousand years, some extraordinary figures will always emerge in the world and become famous throughout the land.
Lu Dongxuan, the founder of the Liyang Dynasty, was one of them.
Chapter 35 Unawakened Memories
Even though Lu Zu was a figure from seven hundred years ago, the mere mention of his name still shocked everyone in the martial arts world present.
This made everyone feel deeply sorry for Zhao Yuzhen.
He originally possessed the strongest innate Daoist body in the Daoist sect and was expected to reach the level of Lu Zu in the future, but his fate was full of hardships and he was destined to suffer great calamities.
If it weren't for Lü Suzhen, a terrestrial immortal, helping him change his fate, he might have died at the age of three.
Even so, Zhao Yuzhen was destined to be confined to Qingcheng Mountain for the rest of her life.
Unless he can change his fate again and break free from the calamities of destiny, he will never be able to compare with that Lu Zu.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:
"What? Did I hear that right? Zhao Yuzhen actually has the same innate Dao physique as Lu Zu?"
"The Lu Zu mentioned by the Celestial Immortal, could it be Lu Dongxuan from seven hundred years ago? This person was famous throughout the world and was known as the number one Taoist in a thousand years."
"Besides Lü Dongxuan, who else in this world dares to call himself Lü Zu?"
"As expected of Lu Zu's innate Dao body, Zhao Yuzhen not only has the potential to become a terrestrial immortal, but may even have the opportunity to enter the terrestrial celestial realm."
"Fortunately, Zhao Yuzhen met a terrestrial immortal like Lü Suzhen, otherwise he would have been dead long ago."
"If the Celestial Immortal hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that Lu Suzhen, the head of Qingcheng Mountain, was actually a terrestrial immortal."
"Even the Imperial Preceptor Qi Tianchen praised Lü Suzhen so highly, which shows how powerful he was. It's a pity that he still lost his life for Zhao Yuzhen in the end."
In the third private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
A glint of light flashed in Xiong Ba's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "A primordial Dao body. I never expected that such a prodigy would emerge from the martial world of Beili. Fortunately, he is destined for hardship and poses no threat to me."
For Xiong Ba, who was determined to dominate the world, he naturally did not want another peerless master like Lu Zu Lu Dongxuan to appear.
Because such beings transcend everything; all schemes, plans, and forces are insignificant in their presence.
But Zhao Yuzhen is confined to Qingcheng Mountain for the rest of her life, so the threat is much smaller.
Even if he fails to reach the terrestrial celestial realm, he can still bypass him like the beings in the outer heavens.
The world is so vast, what's a little sacrifice of Mount Qingcheng?
In the third private room on the south side of the thirteenth floor.
Lei Yunhe instinctively covered his severed arm, and the image of Zhao Yuzhen's sweeping sword flashed before his eyes again.
That was a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.
After mastering the "Thunder Finger" technique, he proudly challenged Zhao Yuzhen, but before he could finish speaking, his arm was severed by her sword.
The once invincible Lei Men leader, Yunhe, disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there are down-on-their-luck people who drown their sorrows in alcohol every day.
Only now did he realize what kind of person he had offended.
He and Zhao Yuzhen are not even in the same league.
Zhao Yuzhen's talent far surpasses that of the four heroes of Lei Men combined.
It's not shameful to lose to such a once-in-a-millennium genius.
As he pondered, Lei Yunhe's inner knot slowly untied, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.
Li Hanyi, standing before the white jade platform, sensed this aura and smiled slightly.
She knew that Lei Yunhe had resolved his inner conflict and returned to the Great Freedom Realm.
But her expression quickly turned serious again.
Zhao Yu was truly powerful, far exceeding her expectations.
She originally thought that her breakthrough to the half-step Divine Realm had allowed her to catch up with Zhao Yuzhen.
It seems she still falls short.
However, Li Hanyi was not discouraged.
With the help of the top-grade Xuan Yin Pill given to her by Su Chen, her cultivation level has reached the late stage of the half-step Divine Travel Realm.
Once she breaks through to the Divine Realm first, Zhao Yuzhen will no longer be her match.
In the seventh private room on the thirteenth floor, on the side of Bei.
A young man in brocade robes strode out of the room and said loudly:
"Chen Youdao of the Liyang Chen Clan has met the Celestial Mystery Immortal."
"I have always admired Lü Dongxuan, and I am willing to offer one million taels of silver to the Celestial Mystery Immortal for a divination."
"Some say that after Lu Zu attained enlightenment, he ascended to the celestial realm."
"Some say that Lü Zu did not want to ascend to heaven, but chose to die in the human world."
"There are even rumors that Lu Zu has obtained the secret to immortality and is still alive today."
"Celestial Immortal, could you reveal some secrets to us?"
These words immediately caused a stir in the audience.
The topic of Lü Zu excited all the martial arts practitioners present.
Back then, when Lü Zu attained enlightenment, he integrated Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism into one, making him invincible. It would be difficult to find such an unparalleled master in a thousand years.
However, this illustrious Lu Zu disappeared from the martial arts world after founding the Liyang Wudang School.
Therefore, where Lü Zu went remains a mystery to this day.
Today, finally someone is going to reveal the answer to this mystery.
In the second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor,
Xu Fengnian glanced sideways at Chen Youdao, who had stepped forward, and asked suspiciously, "Where did this guy come from? He just gives away a million taels of silver like that?"
“There are many people with the surname Chen in Liyang.”
"But only a large family like the Chen family of Linjiang could afford to spend so lavishly."
Old Huang said with a smile.
Everyone from Liyang held Lu Zu in high esteem, and Xu Fengnian was no exception.
Now that someone is paying him to listen to the secrets of Lü Zu for free, he is naturally overjoyed.
Xu Fengnian raised an eyebrow and suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now, isn't Chen Yu, who ranked second on the Rouge List, from the Chen family of Linjiang?"
Old Huang nodded: "Chen Yu is indeed more famous than Chen Youdao."
"That girl is ranked one place higher than Jiang Ni. I wonder what she looks like."
Xu Fengnian said, his eyes gleaming.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, then fell silent without saying a word, looking at Su Chen together, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
On the white jade platform,
Su Chen thought about it for a moment, and realized that "Chen Youdao" sounded like a passerby.
But thinking that even a mosquito's leg is meat, Su Chen still decided to tell his fortune.
Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss.
As Su Chen observed Chen Youdao's facial features, the system quickly reacted:
"The fortune telling for Chen Youdao was successful."
"Congratulations, host, you have gained [Chen Yu's favorability +100]."
Su Chen frowned upon hearing the system notification. Favorability? This thing can be used as a reward?
And who exactly is this Chen Yu?
However, now is not the time to dwell on these things. Su Chen put the matter aside for the time being and slowly said:
"The matter concerning Lü Zu cannot be measured by ordinary compensation."
"But today is the first issue of the Heavenly Secrets Monthly Review, so I'll make an exception and say a few words."
"The three versions circulating in the martial arts world about the whereabouts of Lu Zu are all correct."
“When Lu Zu was at the peak of his cultivation, he was invincible in Liyang and ruled the mortal world. Opening the Heavenly Gate was as easy as turning his hand.”
"Lu Zu didn't even need to lift a finger; the immortals in heaven opened the heavenly gates for him and invited him to ascend to heaven."
"In this way, Lu Zu passed through the Heavenly Gate and took a stroll in the heavens."
"But he felt too stifled up in the sky, so he returned to Earth."
"As for immortality, it would be as easy as turning one's hand if Lu Zu wanted it."
"But he chose another way to prolong his life, which was to be reborn in the human world after his death."
"And that reincarnated person is in this world today."
That's why I said all three explanations make sense.
“Lu Zu did indeed ascend to the heavens, but then returned to the mortal realm.”
“Lu Zu did indeed die in the human world, but he did not disappear; rather, he was reincarnated.”
“Lu Zu is indeed still in the mortal world, but the person who was reincarnated has not yet awakened Lu Zu’s memories, so no one knows about it.”
"The day he awakens will be the day he returns to the peak of Liyang Martial Arts."
The moment Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
Lü Zu is actually still alive, not through immortality, but through reincarnation!
This news shocked everyone to the extreme.
