Chapter 741 Stealing
"If that's the case, then it's indeed a bit interesting."
Not only Chen Yang, but even Zhou Zeyao became quite interested in this Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
The four of them did not immediately absorb the chaotic energy. Instead, they discussed methods of breakthrough.
Zhou Zeyao managed to extract quite a bit of information from Xu Qingquan's mouth. After all, even though Xu Qingquan's memories had been processed, they were still far better than Zhou Zeyao's.
Over the years, Xu Qingquan had tried countless methods. He had tried every breakthrough method he could find in his memories more than once.
However, the result was that not only did his realm not break through at all, but there wasn't even a ripple.
"If the rumors from back then are true, then perhaps no martial artist will ever surpass the peak of the Grandmaster, or the mortal cultivators, in this world?"
After arriving at this conclusion in his heart, Zhou Zeyao was extremely displeased. After all, the cultivation of a martial artist had never been easy. Why did everyone strive so hard to break through if not for greater power?
If this news were to spread, it would likely cause many martial artists, especially older Grandmaster realm martial artists, to collapse.
Chen Yang suddenly thought of something: "Old Zhou, according to our previous deductions, the time Qingquan mentioned should be over two thousand years ago. Did anything significant happen back then?"
Chen Yang's last sentence was a question directed at himself.
Especially the so-called Central Dynasty!
"Qin?"
As soon as Chen Yang said this, Zhou Zeyao's eyes flickered again.
"Chen Yang, stop guessing. What you know might not be the truth," Zhou Zeyao's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
The memories in Zhou Zeyao's mind did not only come from the spiritual power of his previous life, but also from the residual memories he had absorbed.
Zhou Zeyao was naturally well aware of the Qin that Chen Yang had mentioned.
Only Xu Qingquan, standing to the side, looked at the two of them with confusion, not knowing what they were talking about.
Chen Yang's eyes narrowed, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Chen Yang looked at Zhou Zeyao and said, "Old Zhou, it seems you've been hiding quite a lot from me!"
"Don't overthink it. I wouldn't hide anything from you, right? It's just that there are some things I haven't figured out yet. Give me some more time." Zhou Zeyao wasn't unwilling to tell Chen Yang. After all, after he truly awakened, Chen Yang was the only one he could call a friend.
After speaking, Zhou Zeyao retorted, "Don't you have some secrets yourself? Why are you willing to tell me now?"
The two exchanged a smile. Xu Qingquan, standing beside them, could no longer hold back. He rolled his eyes and asked, "What on earth are you two talking about?"
"Forget it, forget it. You've asked me so many questions, can I ask Your Eminence one question?"
Xu Qingquan had been holding back for a long time.
Facing the straightforward Xu Qingquan, Zhou Zeyao shrugged and said, "Ask away."
"Your Eminence has forgotten so many things, how have you managed all these years?" Xu Qingquan was unaware of the outside world and at most knew the people in the tea garden.
He was even more puzzled about the "Your Eminence" in front of him.
The martial artist named Chen Yang, who called His Eminence "Old Zhou," made Xu Qingquan somewhat strange.
If he remembered correctly, His Eminence's surname was not Zhou.
The surname Zhou was a very special surname!
"You want to know everything. It's not impossible to tell you, but you need to promise me one condition."
Seeing Xu Qingquan nod, Zhou Zeyao immediately pointed to the chaotic energy not far away and said with a smile, "My Tree Mound has been drained of its chaotic energy and is about to collapse. I urgently need to obtain some chaotic energy to restore my Tree Mound."
"As long as you can agree to this condition, I will tell you anything you want to ask, as long as I know it!"
Chen Yang coughed slightly but remained silent.
A wry smile appeared on Xu Qingquan's face. It turned out that His Eminence still hadn't forgotten about the chaotic energy!
Xu Qingquan had some understanding of the sect's chaotic energy.
The location of Flying Smoke Mountain was very special. It was said that a lot of chaotic energy could be stored there when it was built.
Later, after this matter spread, many people wanted to buy it.
Chaotic energy itself was a very special substance, difficult to collect and store.
Most small sects could not store this item and had to purchase it from elsewhere.
Flying Smoke Mountain initially sold some, but as more and more people came, they eventually cut off this trading channel.
When His Eminence appeared, they were no longer selling it, otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to steal it directly after entering.
It was said that the chaotic energy left behind by Flying Smoke Mountain was for emergencies.
But now, with only Xu Qingquan left in the entire sect, giving some away wouldn't be a big problem.
"Of course, you can, but you can't take it all."
After reaching an agreement, Xu Qingquan immediately asked the doubts in his heart.
Zhou Zeyao did not deceive him but told him about his experiences over the years in detail.
There was only one thing that was vaguely explained, and that was that his spiritual power from his previous life was only for inheritance, which he did not tell Xu Qingquan.
Xu Qingquan never expected that Zhou Zeyao had such a rich experience.
"No wonder I felt that His Eminence's aura was a bit off at first. So it turns out this body isn't His Eminence's own!"
Facing Xu Qingquan's surprised expression, Zhou Zeyao gave a wry smile, "Stop calling me Your Eminence. Just call me Old Zhou, like Chen Yang."
Chashan, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke, "Then, who am I?"
Initially, Chashan had been listening to Xu Qingquan's explanation, thinking that he might reveal his identity, but it seemed this guy didn't know either!
"This... At first, I thought you were just spiritual consciousness condensed from dead energy, but now it seems it's not that simple. Pure dead energy couldn't have condensed so quickly, nor could it have condensed into spiritual power like yours..."
"The only difference between you and ordinary people is that you haven't condensed your own physical body, but in terms of spirit, you are even stronger than ordinary people."
"I've heard of many things possessing innate spiritual consciousness, but a peculiar existence like you is something I'm encountering for the first time!"
