Seeing that his mood improved, Li Yuan took the opportunity to ask:

"May I ask, senior, why are you here?"

"You do know how to ask."

The old man surnamed Zhou frowned. He hadn't seen anyone for many years, but he still had some depression in his heart that needed to be vented:

"I, Zhou Ying, come from the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty..."

Zhou Ying, a branch of the Zhou royal family, has a distant relationship with the main line, so he has the reputation of being a royal family member, but he is not a wealthy or noble family.

He was fond of martial arts and became a member of the Changhong Sword Sect when he was young. He was already a Taoist when he was only forty years old. After that, he traveled around the world and encountered the Sea Splitting Black Whale Hammer somewhere. After that, he changed to practice the hammer technique.

"When I accomplished my great feats, the world was in turmoil. There was a powerful man flying high, armed with a purple-gold spear that conquered the vast seas. He was almost defenseless in the world. I missed a move at chess and was defeated by him."

Speaking of things that happened a thousand years ago, the old man surnamed Zhou said in a calm voice:

"I am not willing to die here, so I stripped off the divine realm and paid attention to my soul here, waiting for the fate."

"What is fate?"

Li Yuan asked.

"It's not you after all."

Zhou Ying snorted coldly, feeling sad again in her heart:

"This road of trial has three stops. I have replaced the original traces. This is the first stop."

Three stops?

Li Yuan silently wrote it down in his heart.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Ying shook his head inwardly, knowing that this boy was still lucky, and of course, he was not surprised.

Except here, peerless geniuses are supreme geniuses everywhere, regardless of status or status, they are superior to others.

"These three stations should be left by the Xuanjing Sect. Therefore, if you are good at martial arts, you must also have talent. It is almost impossible to pass the third station without a sixth-level talent."

Zhou Ying sighed again: "After three stops, maybe we can hope to reach the Bafang Temple?"

The gap between the fourth level and the sixth level is as huge as that between a snake and a dragon. In the past, he could not overcome it despite all his efforts.

"Sixth level?"

Li Yuan was a little curious: "Senior, where did this division of hierarchy come from?"

"There are three trial stations, and there are many benefits at each place."

Zhou Ying replied calmly: "I replace the original tester, but you must also abide by the rules. Your talent is not enough."

Li Yuan didn't take it seriously. He just wanted to get some information first.

"I once entered the third station. Although I couldn't pass, I still got a lot of things. One of the ancient scrolls mentioned, 'Innate talent'."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ying paused slightly:

"I have answered enough, please go."

"..."

The old guy is deliberately trying to whet his appetite.

Li Yuan was speechless, but he could only follow his words: "Senior, do you have something to give me to this junior?"

"If you can find the legacy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then I will not only impart all my knowledge to you, but I can even carry the backlash to help you pass the test."

Zhou Ying did not beat around the bush.

"Farewell!"

Looking for the remains of the previous dynasty that had disappeared for more than a thousand years? Li Yuan was not interested in this at all, so he immediately handed over and prepared to leave.

"slow."

Zhou Ying called him.

"Fifteen hundred years, there will be no end to the vicissitudes of the world, but if you want to find the legacy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I forgive my juniors for their inability to do so."

Li Yuan has no such interest.

"With your talent, this is your only chance to pass..."

"That's not necessarily the case."

As soon as Li Yuan cupped his hand, the light and shadow in front of his eyes immediately dispersed. After the incense was exhausted, there was deep darkness all around.

"The previous generation Black Whale Hammer Master..."

In the ruined temple, Li Yuan muttered to himself, looking down at the Black Whale Hammer in his hand:

"You know him?"

【Forgot】

The Black Whale Spirit's answer was very straightforward.

"..."

Li Yuan almost choked and asked again:

"Can this person come out?"

[God is bound here, neither death nor life, unable to leave]

"Is that so?"

Li Yuan thought for a while, and controlled all the hammer soldiers except the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer.

With the blessing of many talents behind him, Li Yuan just took out the incense and lit the incense burner again.

At this time, he threw the black whale hammer into the weapon jar.

When walking here, he must hold the Hammer Spirit in his hand. There is no other reason. Without the Hammer Spirit, the gaze of the stone statue behind him cannot illuminate the way forward.

But after entering the temple, there is no problem.

Buzz~

With the blessings of all kinds of masters on his body, Li Yuan felt happy both physically and mentally, and then he saw Zhou Ying again.

"Um?"

Under the old tree, Zhou Ying opened his eyes:

"What, you regret it?"

Zhou Ying sneered, but Li Yuan didn't say anything. He just looked at the stone tablet in front of him, with words appearing on it, just like before.

The difference is that the talent has gone from 'peerless' to 'unparalleled'!

From level three to level five!

"you……"

Zhou Ying seemed to be aware of something. When he lowered his head, he saw the dazzling golden light:

"matchless??!"

matchless!

Zhou Ying suddenly stood up and his expression changed drastically:

"You can actually hide your talent?"

"senior."

Li Yuan didn't answer, he just raised his hand and asked:

"Now, this junior is qualified to pass this station, right?"

"you……"

Zhou Ying was very shocked. Of course he knew that there were martial arts that concealed the spirit, but talent was not martial arts.

This is like a mountain. You can see its height at a glance. How can you hide it?

But he quickly calmed down and nodded with a complicated expression: "Unparalleled, unparalleled... Yes, you are qualified to pass my level."

As he said, these are the rules, left behind by the Xuanjing Sect, and he cannot resist. If he tries to resist, he will suffer backlash.

Buzz~

Almost at the same time Zhou Ying nodded, light began to flow on the stone tablet in front of him, and various words changed:

[Xuanjing Daozi: Li Yuan]

[Talent: Unparalleled]

[Divinity: middle to lower]

[The first stop on the Black Whale Road]

【pass】
