Chapter 904: Finding the Roots

Lu Yu finally decided to return to Yudie Peak and couldn't just walk away.

First of all, since the Tailing Patriarch had already said that he would come to Yudie Peak to visit, it would be obviously ungrateful to avoid him. At this stage, he couldn't afford to offend this ancestor.

Secondly, where could he go?

Not to mention that with the great magical powers of this ancestor, he had no way to escape...

Even if he successfully left the Dali Sword Sect, he had not yet made all the preparations to go deep into the Woyun Ancient City. Even the Eye of the Wind Furnace had not been built, and the various magical weapon materials had not been forged in time. It would be completely meaningless to sneak away now.

So he turned back to Yudie Peak. No matter what, he could only meet the Tailing Patriarch in person first...

When he returned to Yudie Peak, Yang Chudie was already standing in the square in front of the temple. Lu Yu thought she was waiting for the Tailing Patriarch to come, so he asked: "What's going on? Did the Tailing Patriarch say when he would come?"

Yang Chudie showed a solemn look on her face and said in a low voice: "He has arrived..."

Before she finished speaking, a clear voice suddenly came from the Zhenren Hall: "Is Lu Yu here? Come in and talk!"

Lu Yu was stunned, and then he realized that the Tailing Patriarch had already arrived and was already in the Zhenren Hall. No wonder Yang Chudie was guarding the square in such a strange posture...

But then again, there was only a white jade statue of Yudie Zhenren in the Zhenren Hall. There was nothing else. I don't know what's so good about the Tailing Patriarch staying in there alone...

At that moment, Lu Yu had to go in hard.

Stepping into the gate, he finally saw the mighty Tailing Patriarch for the first time.

Although he had heard that the other party was very young, he was still shocked when he really saw the appearance of this ancestor.

This is too young...

He looks like he is only in his early twenties at most. Even Lu Yu's face has a more weathered look than him. If no outsiders explained, Lu Yu would not believe that such a guy could be a Tiangang Realm Patriarch who has lived for more than a thousand years.

Lu Yu felt a sense of fear in his heart.

If this Tailing Patriarch did not deliberately change his appearance, this was his natural expression, which means that his life span is still very long. Under normal circumstances, it is not a problem to live for four or five thousand years.

Patriarch Yunxiao has only lived for more than 3,000 years. Under normal circumstances, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Patriarch Yunxiao...

Of course, this does not mean that his strength is more outstanding than Patriarch Yunxiao. Having a lifespan of thousands of years does not necessarily mean that he can live out all his lifespan. In the fierce competition among the nine heavens, it is not easy to survive the ups and downs of 3,000 years.

From this point of view, Patriarch Yunxiao is undoubtedly the most powerful existence in the entire Dali Sword Sect.

"Disciple Lu Yu, I pay my respects to Patriarch Tailing!"

Lu Yu knelt on one knee and bowed.

Although the other party looked very young, his eyes could not deceive people. There was too much vicissitudes in his eyes, as if everything in the world was not worth mentioning in his eyes. The indifference of being detached from the world made Lu Yu involuntarily feel a sense of admiration.

"Are you Lu Yu?"

Tailing Patriarch looked at Lu Yu with interest, smiled faintly and said: "Get up! You are a great contributor to our Dali Sword Sect. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have no place to stand at this moment, so you don't have to be polite to me!"

"Thank you for your kindness, ancestor. I am very honored..."

Lu Yu said, but he still performed all the etiquette and stood up.

Tailing Patriarch faced Lu Yu and looked at him quietly for a few seconds before asking: "How many layers of the universe can your mind and consciousness break through?"

Lu Yu was stunned and said blankly: "What do you mean by this, ancestor?"

Tailing Patriarch said: "Although you have never set foot in Tiangang, there are already many legends about your deeds in the Nine Heavens. It is said that even the arrogant Emperor Haoyan, who dominates the seventh layer of the universe, was blinded by you... I think it is only when your mind and consciousness break through to the sky that it is possible to do such a thing."

Lu Yu was stunned.

Emperor Haoyan? Blinded by one of his eyes? How could he say that...

After thinking carefully, he finally remembered... Emperor Haoyan, could it be that he was the mysterious Tiangang Realm expert who had fought with him through the Demon God Totem in the sea monster treasure?

Although Lu Yu did not know his name, let alone his origins, looking back over such a long period of time, there was only one Tiangang Realm expert who had had a brief confrontation with him. If such a thing really existed, then it could only be him...

At the beginning, Lu Yu was chased by the opponent's thoughts. In a panic, he had to gather the stars in the sky in his thoughts and smashed towards the opponent. Unexpectedly, he blinded one of the opponent's eyes. This was really beyond his expectation.

So, didn't he inexplicably have a powerful enemy in the Nine Heavens? This is really unfair...

"Ancestor, you may have misunderstood... The matter about Emperor Haoyan was just a coincidence. At that time, I spied on the whereabouts of Emperor Haoyan through a special totem mark, but it was not my own ability..." Lu Yu explained.

Tailing Ancestor waved his hand and interrupted: "No matter what the reason is, you poked out one of his eyes, which is an indisputable fact... So, you at least have the consciousness to break through to the seventh level of the sky!"

Lu Yu was stunned and said nothing more.

In fact, when he was promoted to the Return to the Sea Realm, his consciousness had already broken through the Nine Heavens and reached beyond the starry sky, not just the Seventh Heaven.

But that was a special case. Normally, he had not found the right trick to control this consciousness... Besides, in front of Tai Ling Patriarch, there was nothing to show off, so he simply kept silent.

"Ordinary practitioners will never have such a powerful consciousness as yours..."

Tai Ling Patriarch continued: "Therefore, you must have some great opportunity, even some opportunity from outside the Nine Heavens... So, you don't have to hide it from me anymore. Which god are you the reincarnation of?"

After saying that, Tai Ling Patriarch's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, like a ferocious beast choosing its prey.
