Chapter 1774: Chapter 12: Ju Yang Reborn, Master and Disciple Join Forces to Break Through the Taixu! (Part 2)_3

"But this is not important, Senior Gu Tiangyang didn’t solve this issue during his lifetime either. The three spells are independent and unrelated." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"As for you saying to dominate the world, that’s not false."

"This spell has absolute dominance over Grassman Skills."

"In front of me, no grassman can be effective."

Zuo Qiyu waved his hand.

The next moment, all of Zhao Xing’s grassman avatars lost connection, including the ones far away in Jia Chen Fourteen Passes and Beihai Star System.

In Liu Tianning’s Spirit Temple, Zhao Xing’s divine thought also suddenly disappeared.

"Buzz~"

All of Zhao Xing’s fragmented divine thoughts were forcibly suppressed back to his body by Zuo Qiyu in an instant.

"What?"

Zhao Xing was startled because his grassman didn’t disintegrate, instead, the control was taken over by Zuo Qiyu.

"As long as I wish, within the Primordial Realm, even within the Empire’s scope, no one can gather a grassman avatar, and the Grassman Skills cannot progress even slightly." Zuo Qiyu spoke calmly, stating a terrifying fact.

He seemed to stand at the end of the Grassman Dao, with the entire path under his rule, able to even block cultivators of this path.

The skill is akin to Dao; Zuo Qiyu’s capability is not a demigod but surpasses a demigod!

"I will learn." Zhao Xing didn’t hesitate.

What cannot break through the Demigod Realm is something to consider later, especially with the experiences from the Xuanhuang Realm period, what Gu and Zuo couldn’t achieve, he might.

Roads are paved by people. Didn’t Lao Liu nearly go crazy initially? Yet the flaws were resolved by himself!

"Since you insist, if anything happens in the future, then you can’t blame me." Zuo Qiyu’s demeanor turned cold as he said this.

"I have no regrets," Zhao Xing respectfully replied, but Zuo Qiyu still showed no favorable expression: "Even though I teach you spells, you must not say you are my disciple publicly, nor mention my name if anything happens."

"I will only teach you for a thousand years; you don’t need to call me teacher, respectfully address me as Senior, but if not, you can call me by my name."

Zhao Xing wasn’t surprised, having heard such words before, and quickly agreed, saying: "I will follow Senior’s instructions."

After that, he and Zuo Qiyu set a schedule for coming to seek advice, then Zuo Qiyu waved his hand again and everything returned to normal; Zhao Xing regained control over his avatars.

Swish~

The main body was also moved out of the Boundary River.

He held a jade talisman, embossed with a dark golden grassman emblem; this is the foundational spell of the Void Grassman, and Zhao Xing planned to return to Huai Liu Courtyard to comprehend it, but was stopped.

"Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"

"Who?"

Raising his head, Zhao Xing found himself in front of the Five Poison Emperor.

"Greetings, Senior Five Poison."

"No need for formalities." Five Poison’s face crinkled into folds, obscuring the eyes.

"May I know why the Emperor summoned me?" Zhao Xing inquired.

"Zhao Xing, did Zuo Qiyu accept you as a disciple?" Five Poison asked.

"No." Zhao Xing regrettably replied, "Senior only taught me spells but does not allow me to publicly claim to be his disciple."

This is different from Guluo River, where the surface teacher-disciple relationship was maintained even though he was entrusted by Old Qing, meaning Zhao Xing did not need to deliberately remove the label of a Guluo River disciple.

Zuo Qiyu seemed indifferent and heartless, not even pretending on the surface.

"That’s great!" muttered the Five Poison Emperor.

"What did Senior say?"

"Uh, I meant it’s too bad." The Five Poison Emperor feigned regret: "But, you mustn’t blame Zuo Qiyu for being cold. Back in the day, he accepted a disciple..."

"Senior, should I not know this matter?" Zhao Xing interrupted.

"It’s alright, many know but dare not mention it," Five Poison Emperor casually said, "Once, he had a disciple who passed on the Taichu Grassman Skill, later reached Reincarnation Emperor level, only to betray him eventually."

"It was since then that Zuo Qiyu no longer accepted disciples; even this instance of spell transmission is due to fulfilling the rules set by the Great Emperor and Senior Gu."

Zhao Xing nodded; Five Poison’s recount of the past provoked the current frenzy for breakthroughs.

"However, most people know the existence but not the reasons," Five Poison Emperor slowly stated, "For example, why Zuo Qiyu was betrayed by his disciple, and why he doesn’t even pass on the spells..."

"Why did Senior stop speaking?" Zhao Xing, engrossed, noticed Five Poison Emperor halting.

"Hahaha, we’ll speak of this later; there’s another significant matter to discuss first," Five Poison Emperor continued.

"Please go ahead, Senior."

"Zhao Xing, I know Senior Guluo River accepted you as a disciple but only for certain unspeakable reasons, correct?"

Zhao Xing silently acknowledged.

Five Poison Emperor’s eyes twinkled: "See, this should have been my role. Who would have thought that old rascal would interfere, upsetting Senior Gu... Zhao Xing, it appears you effectively have no master, right?"

Thinking of Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing shook his head: "I do have a master."

Five Poison Emperor’s beard twitched; this boy didn’t understand.

Do Guluo River and Zuo Qiyu count as masters?

However, Zhao Xing’s value had substantially increased, and the Five Poison Emperor disregarded propriety, proposing, "Zhao Xing, you might as well acknowledge me as your master."

"I, Five Poison Emperor, am definitely not indifferent like them."

"Let me first share a small secret. Only a few people in the Empire know this, about the forthcoming development in Si Yue Desolate Domain in the Northwest..."

To this, Zhao Xing showed little interest; the Empire’s expansion into the Northwest was already well-known.

Was the Five Poison Emperor trying to trick a child?

"Senior, since I’m nominally Senior Gu’s disciple, it’s improper to acknowledge you." Zhao Xing politely declined.

Alarmed, the Five Poison Emperor urged: "You might engage in a life-and-death struggle with Zuo Qiyu someday; I could assist you as your teacher—you shouldn’t disregard this opportunity!"

Initially unconcerned, Zhao Xing became intrigued by the Five Poison Emperor’s statement: "Senior, what do you mean?"

Five Poison Emperor queried: "Will you acknowledge me as your master?"

"Teacher," Zhao Xing immediately kneeled and accepted the offer.

The Five Poison Emperor’s face was also a master’s face; after insisting twice, refusal was inexcusable.

Moreover, Guluo River could certainly hear; he never prohibited seeking other allies, and with Five Poison Emperor’s persistence, Zhao Xing’s refusal would be excessive.

"Teacher on the high, accept my disciple’s respect."

"Good, good." The Five Poison Emperor joyfully helped Zhao Xing up. "Good disciple, rise quickly."

"May I inquire the reason you mentioned a mortal battle with Senior Zuo?" Zhao Xing asked.

Five Poison Emperor scanned the surroundings, then whispered: "Taichu Grassman Skill can’t break through the Demigod Realm; Zuo Qiyu certainly explained this to you."

Zhao Xing nodded, acknowledging the old issue of a fractured soul.

"There’s a hidden secret; Zuo Qiyu’s disciple, upon reaching Reincarnation Emperor level, betrayed him after discovering a historical text from the creator, Gu Tiangyang. It says consuming the true spirit from another Taichu Grassman might rectify this defect."

"Thus, on a certain day, Zuo Qiyu’s disciple launched an attack on him."

"What?" Zhao Xing was stunned.

Could such a thing really be?

"Teacher, is this not a joke?"

Maintaining seriousness, Five Poison Emperor responded: "How could this be a joke? Zuo Qiyu stands at the end of the Grassman Dao; in his domain, any Grassman Skill cannot surpass him and must be ruled and controlled by him."

"In the Great Taoism Competition, upon encountering obstacles, one must either bypass them, tread them, or become them."

"If his disciple wasn’t driven mad, for the sake of advancing in Taoism, wouldn’t he engage in such actions? Perhaps it’s not entirely implausible!"
