Chapter 3016: Such a Sweet Mouth
"Alas," the plain-clothed girl sighed, "I don't know when I can find a suitable successor. I have been trapped here for countless years..."
"The girl has the origin?" Lu Yun keenly captured the key information in the words of the girl in plain clothes, and his heart was suddenly filled with shock.
The origin, that is something that only a treasure that surpasses the divine weapon of heaven possesses! Could it be...
"Yes," the plain-clothed girl seemed unaware that she had revealed the secret, "This exquisite pagoda has the spirit of origin. Even if it is damaged, it can repair itself."
Lu Yun was overjoyed. It was indeed the case! This exquisite pagoda was actually a treasure of the same level as his Tianxing Sword! The Tianxing Sword also possessed the spirit of origin, which was the so-called source spirit, so it could slowly repair itself after being damaged.
"Girl," Lu Yun asked with a smile, "besides the conditions mentioned by the old Taoist priest, is there any other way to take you out?" He was thinking in his heart that if he could get this plain-clothed girl and the exquisite pagoda together, his strength would be greatly improved! Especially now that the Tianxing Sword is about to be repaired, if he gets the exquisite pagoda, then he will... Thinking of this, Lu Yun's heartbeat quickened a bit.
"Girl, apart from the conditions mentioned by the old Taoist priest, is there any other way to take you out?" Lu Yun rubbed his hands, his eyes rolling around like a cat stealing fish.
The plain-clothed girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then opened her red lips and said, "Unless... you can become a Taoist master."
"Dao Lord?" Lu Yun's smile froze, and he cursed in his heart, "Fuck it." What does Dao Lord mean? That is the existence standing at the top of this world! He has just touched the threshold of Dao God, and there is still a long way to go before he can become Dao Lord! These conditions are the same as having nothing.
"Haha," Lu Yun laughed dryly twice and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, girl, who is the Taoist Master Qianliu you mentioned just now? Is he very powerful?" He rolled his eyes and decided to start by getting close to him.
"Of course he is amazing," the plain-clothed girl said of Taoist Master Qianliu, her tone full of admiration, "He is one of the most powerful Taoist masters in this chaos, with amazing talent and unrivaled in ancient and modern times!"
Lu Yun thought to himself, she is indeed a powerful character. He looked at the plain-clothed girl in front of him, his eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind.
"Beautiful senior," Lu Yun put on a flattering smile, "You have been in this exquisite pagoda for so long, you must be bored, right? Although I am weak, I am still a living person. Why don't I chat with you to relieve your boredom?"
The plain-clothed girl was startled by his sudden address as "beautiful senior," and then burst out laughing, "You are such a smooth talker, boy."
Seeing that it worked, Lu Yun immediately increased his strength, "No, no, what I said is the truth. Senior, you have fair skin, beautiful face, and extraordinary temperament. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a fairy. Calling you senior makes me seem immature. How about this, I dare to call you... beautiful sister, how about it?"
"Beautiful sister?" The plain-clothed girl was amused by his address and looked at Lu Yun with more affection. "You are so sweet, boy. But..." She changed the subject, "Before the old Taoist priest died, he made me swear that I would not leave the Linglong Pagoda until I found a suitable successor."
Lu Yun cursed inwardly, "You old fool," but he still smiled. "Sister, look, I'm working hard to become your successor! Tell me the story of Taoist Master Qianliu, maybe I can get an epiphany."
The plain-clothed girl was pestered by him and had no choice but to follow his words, "Okay, okay, let me tell you about the deeds of the Thousand Flows Taoist Master. Back then, the Thousand Flows Taoist Master was just an unknown little cultivator. By chance, he observed the legendary Great Unification Sword Art and realized his own unique way of 'Thousand Flows Returning to One'. From then on, he made rapid progress and was hard to find an opponent. In just tens of thousands of years, he achieved the position of Taoist Master! At his peak, he had hundreds of Taoist God servants, more than a hundred Taoist God followers, and even a Taoist Master following him! Wherever he went, he was received with the highest standards. It can be said that he was very famous!"
Lu Yun was fascinated by what he heard. Hundreds of divine servants, more than a hundred divine followers, and a Taoist master following him... What a grand occasion!
The plain-clothed girl continued, "Unfortunately, although the Dao of 'Thousand Flows Returning to One' is powerful, it is extremely difficult to achieve unity with the Dao. In the end, the Thousand Flows Daoist Master failed to achieve unity with the Dao. Before his death, he dismissed some of his followers, but took some people he disliked, as well as his personal attendants and servants, back to his hometown and established the Thousand Flows Chaos World... Then, all these people were buried with him."
“Buried with him?!” Lu Yun’s eyes almost popped out, “So many gods were buried with him?!”
"Yes," the plain-clothed girl sighed, "the old Taoist in purple robe is one of them."
Lu Yun felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight up to his head. My goodness, this Taoist master Qianliu is really a ruthless person! He wants to drag so many people down with him even after his death!
"In fact, compared to some other violent Dao Lords, Dao Lord Qianliu is already very restrained," the plain-clothed girl seemed to have seen through Lu Yun's thoughts. "After some Dao Lords fail in their attempt to merge with the Dao, they will go on a killing spree to vent their anger, destroying countless territories and causing great suffering to all living beings. That is truly terrifying."
Lu Yun thought about it and thought about it from another perspective. If he had worked hard to cultivate to the Dao Master realm, but ultimately failed to merge with the Dao, he would probably also be upset, right? Although he could understand it, he still felt horrified when he thought about so many Dao God masters being buried in vain.
"So, the number of Taoist gods in Xuantian Realm is actually very limited?" Lu Yun suddenly thought of a question.
"Of course," the plain-clothed girl said, "Back then, there were countless Dao Gods and Primal Chaos buried with Dao Master Qianliu. Later, countless strong men entered the Qianliu ruins to explore and died. Naturally, the number of Dao Gods in Xuantian Territory has become fewer and fewer."
The plain-clothed girl smiled softly, her eyes flickering with a hint of cunning: "The Qianliu Ruins are said to be a treasure land, but you have to be alive to get them. Over the years, what I have seen most in this tower is the ugly expressions of those explorers when they face the treasure, greed, fear, ecstasy... Tsk tsk, life is really full of different aspects. What I like most is to see their expressions when they come to nothing in the end, that is more exciting than any drama."
Lu Yun curled his lips: "I'm not interested in the dead people's money, but it's quite interesting to chat with you. It's a pity that you are trapped in this tower, otherwise..."
