Chapter 282 My name is Zhang Zhiwei! Just an ordinary mortal!
That evening.
The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.
After dinner, the two elderly people were taking a walk when one of them said, "Old Lu!"
I'm getting a little sleepy, so I'll go back to bed first and won't keep you company on your stroll any longer!
Lu Jin was somewhat surprised. Usually, the Old Master would stay up very late and spend his free time watching TV series. Why was he so sleepy so early today?
But he didn't think much of it, after all, he was getting old and couldn't explain many things.
"Alright, Master, you should rest now. I'll go back to my room too."
The two old men parted ways, and the old master did not go to bed after returning to his house.
Instead, I just sat by the window, looking at the southwest sky.
As night falls and the stars shift, one by one, the stars, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, quietly emerge.
But unlike other places, the stars in the southwest are shining brightly, one after another, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
The old master nodded: "Is it finally coming?"
Well, that's fine too!
"Let me change my clothes and then I'll go upstairs."
The old master, dressed in a white shirt robe, kept adjusting his clothes.
Suddenly, a cold wind swept into the room, instantly forming a figure with a familiar face—it was Old Gu, who called himself the Domain Poison.
"Oh dear, my old master!"
You're not worried at all? They've practically shoved a gun into our mouths!
At this moment, Lao Gu was a little nervous and had long lost his previous composure.
On the contrary, the old Celestial Master remained calm and continued to wear his loose Celestial Master robe: "Don't be in a hurry."
It's cold up there, I need to wear another layer!
"Don't joke around, you can't possibly be afraid of the cold?"
Hurry up!
The old master remained unhurried. After getting dressed, he stroked his beard and said, "How is it?"
"Do I think my outfit is handsome enough?"
Old Gu could only helplessly say, "Okay, okay, handsome, handsome, handsome!"
"So elegant and otherworldly, ethereal and otherworldly, that's incredibly cool! Let's go!"
The old master smiled faintly and stepped forward gracefully: "Oh, by the way, you don't need to go!"
Old Gu was taken aback, his face showing surprise: "You're alone?"
"I'm afraid... I'd better go with you!"
The old master rolled his eyes helplessly and explained, "Sigh!"
There's no point in you going, so don't try to get help from others.
Besides, I'm going to do my best this time, and you're getting in my way, so I have to consider your feelings.
This makes it very difficult for me to perform my duties!
"Damn, are you really considering my feelings?"
Fine, fine, go by yourself!
"I'll see just how strong you really are!"
Old Gu grumbled and then disappeared.
The old celestial master continued to smile and move forward, looking towards the southwest sky: "Here I come!"
Suddenly, the old man's feet seemed to move with the wind, and a pale golden auspicious cloud appeared, carrying him at an extremely fast speed towards the southwest sky.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, he appeared ethereal, and the old man's large Taoist robe made him stand out even more.
In the blink of an eye, he passed through layers of barriers and arrived at the sky. Stargazing here is a unique experience.
Looking down at the ground, you can't see a single person, only scattered lights, proving that there are countless living beings on this land beneath your feet.
The old man looked around at the so-called stars, but they were not stars at all; they were clearly incredibly sturdy hovercraft.
It shimmered with a dazzling light and was made of an unknown metal.
Suddenly, a sound came from inside, a human voice.
"Oh ho! Natives are coming up!"
Haha, it's obviously a big fish!
"Interesting. Wasn't it said that this world is too weak to cultivate?"
"How can something fly?!"
"As the saying goes, old people inevitably become demons. This old fellow is clearly the essence of the mountains and fields, and should be the largest fish in this world!"
“That makes sense. If it weren’t for the arrogance of the Heavenly Dao in this world, we would have gone down there to have some fun long ago. But it’s quite interesting that this old guy dared to come up here!”
"Hey old man, do you have a name?"
Faced with ridicule and sarcasm, the old man remained unperturbed and calmly said, "A person born into this world naturally needs a name."
"I am but a mortal from the lower realms, Zhang Zhiwei!"
The old man's composed demeanor and humble yet assertive tone displeased the outsiders.
"Heh, old man, you're quite the actor, aren't you?"
At your age, you should have experienced setbacks and learned to be more reserved and modest. Why are you still so arrogant?
"Hahaha!
In my hundred years of life, I have never known the word "defeat," and besides, I am who I am; how can there be any arrogance!
Upon hearing the old man's words, the door of the nearest airship slowly opened, and a burly man in armor, who was neither human nor inhuman and whose features were vastly different from those of humans, stepped out.
"You old man, you're pretty arrogant!"
I have to slap you twice to vent my anger!
The burly man was fully equipped and flew straight towards the old man, just like the other man.
The old man just smiled and watched, thinking back to the past hundred years when he was the only one who could draw from others. When will he be the only one who can draw from others?
Suddenly, a voice, seemingly speaking the same language, came through: "Wait!"
We've finally caught a big fish, so we should find out more about its true nature!
Don't rush into action.
"Hmph, this old guy is very arrogant, and he's also trying to find out our strength and weakness!"
"You see, otherwise he would have made his move long ago!"
The burly, humanoid man who had flown towards them stopped and carefully examined the old man in front of him.
"I can't tell anything about him. He's just an ordinary old man."
Forget it, let’s talk about business first.
Old man, how many living beings are there in your realm?
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
At the same time, a burly man flew down from another airship: "Don't know? Hmph, I think you're asking for a beating!"
Do you know what weaknesses your realm's Heavenly Dao possesses, or when it is at its weakest?
The old man turned around, looked at him as if he were a fool, shook his head and laughed, "Hehe, this is the first time I've had direct contact with you from another world."
I never imagined you guys could be so stupid!
Not to mention that I don't know, even if I did know, why would I tell you!
"With intelligence like yours, you dare to attempt to invade my realm?"
The two burly men were furious after hearing this: "Holy crap!"
That old man's being unreasonable!
How dare they humiliate us!
Do you know who I am?
I'm going to teach you a lesson today, I'll show you...
The burly man grew angrier as he spoke, leaping towards the old man. The mecha fist on his arm lit up, enveloped in a dark blue light, and slammed hard into the old man's face.
The old man was initially cautious, and a thin, almost imperceptible golden light shone from his body, but when he saw the strong man's attack...
He suddenly sneered and casually raised his dry, calloused hand.
"Snapped!"
A gentle, soft palm strike landed squarely on the burly man's cheek.
"Yo!"
The armor on the burly man immediately bent and deformed, but the old man's palms did not stop slapping, and a thin layer of golden light shone on his withered palms.
The old man's slaps were as if they landed on nothing, as if they were hitting cotton, and he easily knocked off the head and armor of the burly man in front of him.
