C16 Conspiracy
In the back of the mountain, only the ancient trees swayed, emitting gusts of wind.
A figure was running in the forest. It was Gao Zhi.
"Eh? There are too many trees here. "
Gao Zhi was puzzled, he had not even walked a hundred meters, and with his skill, he had actually walked almost a quarter of an hour. The place was overgrown with brambles and plants, and large trees as thick as water vats could be seen everywhere. Some of the trees were even a few meters in diameter.
"It's good if it's hard to leave." It's good if it's hard to leave.
Gao Zhi pondered as he thought about the most important question. He did not want to be mocked by a group of people, saying that he was using the body forging methods of ordinary people to cultivate.
It was very normal for cultivators to look down on the cultivation methods of ordinary experts. This was because a cultivator possessing a 'Dao Diagram' had gained the approval of the heavens and earth. Even the cultivators of Dao Accomplishment Realm could ravage any expert in the mortal world as they pleased.
Two hours later, Gao Zhi was so tired that he started panting. According to his estimations, he should be at least a few kilometers away from the mountain at the back of Heaven Gate.
"Huh? There shouldn't be many people here anymore. If we continue to walk like this, I will definitely die of exhaustion. "
Gao Zhi said softly as he looked around. As expected, he did not feel any abnormalities. There weren't many people here, or more accurately, no one wanted to come. Because this was the ancient forest, it was very ancient and mysterious.
"If that's the case …"
Gao Zhi chuckled, and the dao diagram behind his back completely appeared. For a moment, the White Tiger growled, the giant python hissed, and even the small tree swayed. With the three as one, the engravings were incomparably clear. In that moment, Gao Zhi felt that the connection between the heaven and earth was extremely smooth, the Dao energy in his body was circulating very quickly.
"Whoosh!"
Gao Zhi was like a fierce tiger as he jumped onto a large tree. Then, like a giant python, he walked on the tree trunk with a speed as fast as lightning. What even Gao Zhi did not notice was that the moment he jumped onto the tree, it was as if the tree had automatically moved closer to him. However, this action was extremely minute, and was completely ignored by Gao Zhi.
With this, Gao Zhi's speed increased by several times, and in the blink of an eye, he was already more than ten meters away.
At this moment, in the deepest depths of the Ancient History Forest, in an incomparably vast lake, an over three hundred feet long beast covered in scales suddenly raised its head. Its head had two horns shaped like a tree, and the corners of its mouth had a long beard, body like a snake, and four feet.
Shockingly, it was a dragon!
"I haven't felt this in years."
The 'dragon' looked towards the direction of the Gate of Heaven from afar and spoke in the human tongue. After a long while, its eyes slightly narrowed and it muttered: "Such a weak point, perhaps I was mistaken. "When three kinds of dao diagrams appear, the world would be thrown into chaos. Other than him, there should not be anyone else who can reach that kind of peak!"
The 'dragon' carefully sensed it again, but didn't sense anything. He shook his head, "Maybe I was just thinking too much. Maybe it's because I've been lonely for too long."
At the same time, Gao Zhi had already appeared in a slightly spacious area and his dao diagrams had already been collected.
This was a small hill, called a small hill, but compared to other mountains, it was nothing. This was a small mountain, nearly three hundred meters tall. When Gao Zhi appeared, a few small animals panicked and quickly left, leaving behind many sounds in the grass.
"Not bad."
Gao Zhi saw a lot of rocks rolling down from the mountains nearby. There were also many thousands of kilograms of stones that completely met Gao Zhi's requirements.
"Yes, this will be my territory from now on."
Gao Zhi nodded, he was satisfied. He tossed away several thousand jin of stones and cleared out a somewhat clean area. In order to prevent some small animals from taking over his own territory, Gao Zhi had even specially used some big rocks to build a platform, and then built a simple 'house'. Although it didn't look like much, he was only here to train and didn't ask for much.
"Clap clap!"
Gao Zhi patted the dust off his hands, and laughed narcissistically: "As expected, I am a genius. With a slight movement, a work of art is created. "
However, after this torment, a lot of time had passed.
According to Gao Zhi's judgement, the distance from here to the Heaven Gate should be about twenty kilometers. It wasn't too far, if he used the dao diagram.
It would be troublesome when he came, but much simpler when he went back. Because searching was an act without a purpose, and returning was to look for the location of the Heavenly Palace.
Furthermore, Gao Zhi had left a mark that was unique to him on the way here.
In the next moment, Gao Zhi no longer hesitated, he immediately channeled his dao diagram, and quickly rushed to the location of the Heaven Gate. It was as if he had transformed into a strange beast at that moment. He leaped like a tiger, and swam like a snake.
"Hmm? It appeared again? " In the depths of the Ancient Records Forest, the 'dragon' once again raised its head and looked towards the Heaven Gate's location in astonishment. It shook its head and muttered, "Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Hu!"
Gao Zhi appeared at the back of the mountain behind the Heaven Gate and patted off the weeds and leaves on his body.
Looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Gao Zhi then walked towards the Heaven Gate with a bounce. After finding a place, he was in a very good mood.
Gao Zhi did not randomly walk away. Instead, he chose to walk toward the side hall that Lu Xian was in. When they arrived, Lu Xian just finished his explanation. Seeing Gao Zhi coming in, he smiled: "Xiao Zhi, where did you go? "Why did you only come over in the afternoon?"
"Oh, oh, I wanted to go and see where the back mountain of our Heaven Gate is. Then he asked Dian Xiaole, and she told me that the back of the mountain was at the back of the front mountain, and I believed her. But the problem is, I don't know where the front mountain is, so I had to ask someone else, and no one paid any attention to me. After that, I went on a search by myself. It took me half a day to find the back mountain. Then, after playing for a while, I fell asleep. As you saw, I only came now. "
Gao Zhi's mouth was full of nonsense, as he spoke, causing the other disciples to frown. Dian Xiaole's beautiful face turned dark, as if all of the reasons were due to his misleading them?
Lu Xian smiled slightly, and patiently listened to a bunch of stuff. After Gao Zhi finished speaking, he nodded his head, "Hmm, looks like you have a lot of experience today, but you still have to listen to my explanation carefully, and will have to rely on yourselves later on."
"Mhm mhm, thank you Senior Martial Brother Lu for your understanding."
Gao Zhi found a seat and sat down. Even a fool would be able to tell that this kind of 'lie' was nonsense. However, the person in question didn't seem embarrassed at all.
"Awesome!" Wu Bupang secretly gave Gao Zhi a big thumbs up. Gao Zhi tilted his head and pretended not to see it. laughed dryly and retracted his hand in embarrassment.
Dian Xiaole glared at Gao Zhi fiercely, and reprimanded him from the bottom of his heart, this fellow really knows how to speak lies!
"In the future, you must not do this. You must know that misleading others will cause them to die." Gao Zhi looked at him sincerely, as if he wasn't going to argue with him.
Hearing that, Dian Xiaole almost went crazy, after that he snorted and ignored his.
The others all looked at Gao Zhi with funny expressions, feeling that this person was really different from the others.
Only Zhu Chaoyun and Gong Xuee remained calm and did not move at all.
Lu Xian still had a face full of smiles. From his body, all you could feel was a calm aura, and for no reason, it caused the people who saw him to feel at ease as well.
"Next, what I will be talking about is the usage of the dao diagram."
"Aside from those divine weapons, the dao diagrams can be said to be the most powerful thing a cultivator can rely on in their entire life. If we can make good use of them, we can definitely greatly increase our battle power. "
Lu Xian spoke with confidence. He had thoroughly researched the path of cultivation, and what he said was not difficult to understand.
Gao Zhi listened attentively and sat there obediently, without any small movements or unease.
Roughly two hours later, Lu Xian's explanation for today was considered over. Furthermore, he informed the disciples that he was going to go into seclusion for the next month. If you want to enter the 'Meridian', you only need to register a bit.
At the same time, he instructed that this month's sparring competition would be hosted by the eldest disciple, Zhu Chaoyun. To put it bluntly, this was to prevent the other disciples from killing to the point where their eyes would turn red; otherwise, they would not care about anything else at that time.
"As per master's orders." Zhu Chaoyun was well-mannered, he stood up and replied.
After finishing all of these things, Lu Xian left immediately. But just as he was about to leave, he glanced at Gao Zhi with a funny expression on his face. Even though Gao Zhi knew that his lies had been exposed, he was not the least bit embarrassed. He looked at Lu Xian with his pure eyes, as if he was emphasizing, "Believe me, believe me, everything I said was true."
"Because of Xiao Zhi Master."
Zhu Chaoyun frowned slightly, then continued, "Since Xiao Zhi has just arrived, there is no need to participate in this month's sparring. I can observe once, and try again when I have some understanding. Regarding that, Xiao Zhi, do you have any objections? "
"No, it doesn't matter whether we fight or not."
Gao Zhi immediately shook his head, not minding at all. Then, he smiled and said, "However, I know that the yearly quota will definitely be mine this year."
Zhu Chaoyun was startled, while the others were also stunned, and then they looked at Gao Zhi while laughing. Because they already knew that Gao Zhi was only in the first stage of the Refinement Realm, and could be said to be the weakest of the lot. And Zhu Chaoyun was a cultivator who was about to step into the Dao Resisting Realm.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you."
Zhu Chaoyun chuckled, her tone was calm, not angry at all. However, those who wanted to hear it could still hear a hint of disdain in his words.
His talent was extremely high, and his strength was not weak either. In the younger generation, he could definitely be considered an expert. There was a huge difference in distance between the Xiao Zhi and him, and right now, it was not too far away from the one year time limit. Unless Gao Zhi was extremely heaven defying, it would definitely be impossible to fight against him.
This was everyone's theory, and it was completely supported by the facts.
"Heh heh."
Gao Zhi laughed lightly, scratched the back of his head and said: "I won't make you wait for too long."
"Yo, there's going to be a good show to watch." Wu Bupang only desired for the world to be at peace, adding fuel to the fire.
"Show off your strength." Dian Xiaole shot a glance at Gao Zhi before he left.
The others had a funny look on their faces. They felt that this was just a decision made by an ignorant child. Only Gong Xuee glanced at Gao Zhi, her beautiful eyes flickered, and revealed a pondering expression.
"Ai, sleeping, eating, and training these past few days have all been so fulfilling."
Gao Zhi stood up, and muttered without a care, and at the same time called out to Wu Bupang.
