Chapter 858 - 861: Questioning Life

Behind the rock garden, Yang Tianzi, Master Li the Fortune Teller, and Miaoshan stand quietly.

Yang Tianzi rarely comes out, and upon seeing some young juniors, he has the urge to guide them.

Yet, in the backyard’s clearing, Zhou Butong suddenly challenges Dao Feng,

"Please show me the Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal. I want to know what kind of unique skill it is." Zhou Butong is a playful child and a martial arts fanatic; he genuinely wants to see the Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal again.

Behind the rock garden, Yang Tianzi slightly furrows his brow: "Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal? Sounds like a Buddhist sect martial art, but is there such a move within Buddhist sect martial arts? I’ve never heard of it."

"Buddhist sect martial arts are famous and consist of major techniques, but there are also some smaller, unknown techniques," Master Li the Fortune Teller reminds.

Yang Tianzi nods, thinking the Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal might be a lesser technique,

thinking he could go over to guide them later,

when suddenly Dao Feng finally displays the Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal,

raising both palms, and in a vague shimmer, Buddha Light flashes, illuminating all directions,

"My Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal is one of the techniques of the Eighteen Arhats, the Dragon Subduing Arhat’s move."

"Its release subdues demons and vanquishes evil."

Dao Feng hums and then executes a palm strike, a giant golden palm-shaped glow marked with the "卍" symbol.

As soon as this palm emerged, the heavens and earth shook, and then the space trembled, amidst which all evil spirits were eradicated one by one.

"This is..." Seeing the actual power and effect of this move, Yang Tianzi, Miaoshan, and Master Li the Fortune Teller are all shocked, each revealing expressions of astonishment.

"I thought the Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal, which I’ve never heard of before, was just a minor Buddhist sect move, but... this is clearly a major move! But why has no one heard of such a major Buddhist sect move? How could it be wandering outside?" Master Li the Fortune Teller’s mouth gapes open,

experts showing their hand know immediately if it’s exceptional, and this Arhat Overturning Heaven Seal is truly too strong.

If this is called a minor technique, then what is a major technique?

"Such a technique..." Yang Tianzhen swallows hard; even as the Sect Master of the Willow Sect, he doesn’t have a technique this formidable.

A moment ago, I was talking about guiding them,

but now, how can I offer guidance?

It’s simply impossible to guide them.

Yang Tianzi feels slapped in the face and secretly glances at Master Li the Fortune Teller and Miaoshan beside him.

Seeing that they are not looking at him, Yang Tianzi feels his pride is slightly restored.

"I can’t guide this, but perhaps I can guide the others," he pondered silently in his heart.

At that moment in the clearing, Dao Feng suddenly turned to Zhou Butong: "I’m also interested in your Five Directions Heavenly Emperor Fist."

"Unfortunately." Zhou Butong looked regretful: "I haven’t completed cultivating even one line of the fist technique; I’ve only grasped its rudiments."

Speaking, he tried swinging his fist, with the wind from his punches roaring, exuding grandeur.

"This... How am I supposed to offer guidance?" This fist technique, Yang Tianzi feels, has more developmental potential than the fist technique he cultivates himself, causing this Yang Tianzi to shiver, feeling that in this lifetime he can never utter the words "offer guidance" again.

"Wu Tian... Wu Tian is truly remarkable. His disciples have all mastered unique skills. If someone had told me this casually, I wouldn’t have believed them either." Yang Tianzi coughs deliberately, speaking solemnly.

He wanted to change the conversation topic,

hoping Master Li the Fortune Teller and Miaoshan would forget what he said earlier about guiding the juniors in the clearing,

but what he said was also heartfelt; which sect truly teaches disciples the unique skills?

Usually, only true disciples are taught.

"A mentor guides you through path, impart knowledge, and enhance understanding. This saying was one of the maxims of Wutian Celestial Emperor. However, throughout ancient and modern times, few achieve this. Yet unexpectedly, Mr. Wu Tian, despite his youth, has accomplished this, truly passing down his genuine skills." Master Li the Fortune Teller respectfully points out,

"Such a person is truly rare, even within the Wudong Immortal Dynasty. Not even the older generation, let alone the younger generation, including the seven individuals known as the Immortal Dynasty’s Seven Swords, are worthy of comparison to Wu Tian." Upon saying this, Miaoshan’s beautiful eyes show a hint of admiration, unable to help but marvel: "His disciples have potential comparable to the Seven Swords, let alone himself?"

..."We must thoroughly digest what we currently have, so that the teacher may impart even better knowledge to us."

While Yang Tianzi and the others were reflecting, suddenly they heard Si’er say this on the clearing.

These words were met with agreement from Dao Feng and the others.

"Yes, I also think the Sect Leader still has other powerful skills to teach me."

"I feel the same too."

"I know what’s happening," Zhou Butong explains seriously: "A teacher teaches students by first imparting the basics, which is easier, lower-level stuff, before teaching the challenging and powerful ones."

"Right, right, right."

..."Right, my foot."

Behind the rock garden, Yang Tianzi nearly spat blood. What you are practicing now is already very advanced. To you, that’s just the basics?

Master Li was also somewhat shaken, finding it hard to believe.

"I do think it’s indeed like this," Miaoshan meanwhile was thoughtful.

She currently has learned some Buddhist sect martial arts but feels there’s much she still doesn’t know.

Wu Tian, Ancestor of Blood Refinement,

has placed a treasure in front of her.

And she, who seems to have wealth, has only utilized a tiny bit of that treasure.

As Miaoshan thinks about it, Dao Feng and those on the clearing are in the same situation as her.

"Why do I feel like I’m the real villager?" Yang Tianzi suddenly sighs, saying this one statement,

Master Li and Miaoshan express that they can understand him.

Yang Tianzi, after all, came from the continent. To the lower realm, the continent is a battleground for heroes in contention,

and the Three Realms?

are merely an obscure little place.

Originally, people from the Three Realms were supposed to be the villagers. But this time coming to see Dao Feng and the others, Yang Tianzi felt defeated.

In short, Yang Tianzi got slapped in the face, made to doubt life.

"We must not be arrogant." In the clearing, as the senior sister, Si’er spoke again; she earnestly instructed: "Don’t think we’re impressive. But if you change perspective, we can’t even defeat a little fellow; we can’t even fight a four-and-a-half-year-old child. What right do we have to be arrogant?"

Hearing the term "little fellow," Dao Feng, Zhou Butong, and others sighed.

They tried fighting the little fellow,

who has Nezha as a soul mentor giving guidance, along with assistance from Silver Spirit Child performing illusion techniques.

Even combining their strengths, they were no match for the little fellow.

"Indeed, we must not be arrogant."

"Only when we can defeat the little fellow can we be proud."

"Yes, yes, yes."

From their tone, it can be heard that they regard the little fellow as their lifelong top opponent.

..."Four and a half years old? Could they possibly have discovered us, so they are lying?" Yang Tianzi refuses to believe, insisting not to believe it. How could there be such a child in this world?

This is impossible.
