It had always been like this before, Su Tu even suspected if the old man had been influenced by some TV show or the like.

For example, this time, Old Zhou still wouldn't admit that he caused a stir in the Star River for Su Tu, he only said that he went out to visit a friend, and he had long predicted that Su Tu would be safe and sound.

However, it is worth mentioning that when Old Zhou learned that Su Tu had found the true realm of the Martial Arts Dao, he was not at all surprised.

The two of them studied the cultivation method of this realm and concluded that the Seeking Truth Realm can stimulate the refinement of blood and energy through Basic Skill, allowing the True Intent of Martial Arts to ascend while refining the bones as well.

Achieving a cycle that is more convenient than the cultivation of two realms, accumulating more profound foundation, and deeper fusion of true intent and the physical body.

"You don't need to explain your realm to anyone, just focus on cultivating, the foundation of the Human Race is still shackled by heaven and earth, apart from you, even the ultimate geniuses who have glimpsed the ultimate of the Martial Arts Dao cannot achieve this step."

"If this method were to be spread, it would harm you without benefiting you, I will seal Old Chen's mouth."

Old Zhou tapped his finger repeatedly on the tabletop, then lifted his hand to reveal a jade that flickered with green light.

"Carry this Celestial Communication Jade with you."

"This item was personally refined by my mentor, the Heavenly Communication Master, capable of concealing everything within you, with this jade, no one can see through your body."

As he spoke, the jade flew to the front of Su Tu.

Though Old Zhou spoke lightly, Su Tu still heard the importance of this jade, the mentor's mentor was none other than the Controller of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage, a legendary figure who led hundreds of disciples to hold back an entire super civilization of powerful beings.

A precious treasure personally refined by such a figure is undoubtedly invaluable, and being able to use his honorific as its name signifies the importance placed upon it.

This Celestial Communication Jade is not just a treasure, more importantly, it is Old Zhou's sentiment.

"Don't say anything unnecessary, what the mentor grants you is yours!"

"Under the Heaven-Reaching school, we don't play those games of withholding at will."

"My mentor, the Heavenly Communication Master, was unbeaten and invincible upon his emergence, without guidance from the Martial God, he could still contend relentlessly with the ten greats of the Martial Arts Dao, retreating three in succession, back then, the name Heavenly Communication alone was enough to make many giant overlords bow their heads!"

Old Zhou squinted his eyes, carrying a bit of reminiscence, as if a towering figure wearing a broad robe stood proudly above the Star River, a solitary being holding an entire world!

"Bestowing this item upon you as your teacher, not only to conceal your aura but also to..." Zhou Wuliang wanted to say more.

But as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them.

"In any case, take it."

This is not only a treasure but also an inheritance.

Su Tu said no more, grasped the Celestial Communication Jade, carefully stowed it away, and then said, "Master, your disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations!"

"The Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage will reemerge!!"

Su Tu spoke each word with emphasis.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wuliang's eyes trembled, then with a wave of his hand, he sent Su Tu out of the inner chamber.

"Still just a child, and already thinking of carrying the great banner?"

"Old man is not dead yet!!"

He said this, but the corner of his mouth showed an indescribable smile.

"Are you happy now?"

"You're only safe because the few Supremes of the Seven Great Alliances don't dare to act against you."

The black fog man appeared silently across from Zhou Wuliang.

"Of course they don't dare, as long as I'm alive, they won't dare to gamble..."

Zhou Wuliang took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, not sure what you're pretending for, with all of this, how long can you keep living?"

"The Life Anchor that the Heavenly Communication Master set for you back then has long shown signs of loosening, and every time you activate the Sealing Bead, the Life Anchor loosens a bit, you know all this."

"As a result, you're playing with the Sealing Bead as if it's a ball, well then, how long can you live now? Half a year? A year? Or two??"

The black fog man's words carried a clear anger, barely able to speak nicely.

"Back then my teacher said, to be a qualified teacher, first you must ensure your disciple feels assured, ever confident, perceiving their teacher as omnipotent, so they can explore the world at peace."

"Secondly, a teacher, no matter how the world turns, must protect their disciple; if an accident happens, justice must be secured, otherwise... who the hell qualifies as a teacher..."

Zhou Wuliang mimicked the appearance of that figure in his memory, speaking each word, but as he spoke, his aura grew weaker, the once bright eyes during his conversation with Su Tu dimmed.

His entire complexion became increasingly pale.

"The Heaven-Reaching is no more, but the Four Dao Lineages remain, the Heavenly Communication Master condensed the Life Anchor for you to live, as long as you anchor your Life Anchor on the Other Shore of other Dao Lineages, you'll continue living!"

"Stop being stubborn, can't you?"

"Don't you want to restore the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage with your own hands?"

The black fog man spoke hurriedly.

Hearing this, Zhou Wuliang merely smiled faintly: "To move the Life Anchor is akin to replacing allegiance, you idiot, after all these years since I dug you out of the ruins, have you not yet figured out what kind of person I am?"

"As for the Heaven-Reaching Dao Lineage..."

"There will be successors..." Old Zhou said quietly.

The black fog man didn't know what to say.

Then, a flawless white lotus appeared as he turned his hand.

The black fog man looked at the white lotus and spoke.

"The Seven Great Alliances must hate you to death, the Fallen Dao White Lotus, Innate Supreme Spiritual Plant, the entire Star River birthed only five in total, once you disperse the turbid air, you can refine it, it can become a substitute for death for the host, and can cultivate a second Dao for the host, enhancing the host's heart and spirit."

"It's just a bit dangerous during the turbid air refinement..."

"You acquired this thing, wasn't it meant for Su Tu, why not give it to him?"

Zhou Wuliang remained silent, merely placing his hand on the white lotus, watching as wisps of turbid air dissipated.

Seeing this scene, the black fog man's eyes narrowed sharply: "Zhou Wuliang, you've really had enough."

"If something is to be given, it should be given cleanly."

.....

After being thrown out of the inner chamber by Old Zhou, Su Tu could only leave with some reluctance, turning to head towards the Cultivation Room.

This time, having been reborn in the Star River, his understanding of this realm was not deep, requiring careful contemplation of the Seeking Truth Realm while cultivating his Basic Skill.

Taking advantage of the two days before the martial examination, he would thoroughly contemplate his current physical condition.

Moreover, his mind was somewhat chaotic now.

There were words Su Tu did not know how to say to his teacher, not knowing how to start.

At that time, waiting for revival in the collapsing Star River, before the Spiritual Light emerged, his consciousness was the first to awaken, whereupon he saw his 'Martial Uncle', that Supreme Master of Arms.

The manner between him and Daoist Master Cong Yun seemed deeply affectionate, appearing to value him dearly, further seeking any signs of life in that patch of Star River.

On the surface, Master of Arms seemed to disbelieve or unwillingly accept Su Tu's death, hence searching repeatedly.

Initially, Su Tu felt the same.

Up to the last moment before Master of Arms left, after confirming no possibility of life in that piece of Star River.

The moment that gaze came down, a barely perceptible relaxation appeared in it!

The expression was restrained in an instant, had it not been for Su Tu's Candle Wisdom, he wouldn't have detected it.

At that moment, Su Tu realized, his dear Martial Uncle wasn't worried about his death, rather...

Worried he might not have died.
