From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 432: Cross-border Cause and Effect
Li Yang spoke indifferently, his eyes looking down without any emotion: "If the Venerable is not the Venerable, then who is he?"

Li Yang had an idea. He saw Liu Ming shine in the martial arts competition today, and thought of this guy's identity, so he wanted to call him over to teach him a lesson. He didn't expect that he would reveal such a secret information.

Liu Ming opened his mouth in confusion, frowned, and said with a stiff face: "I don't know who he is, but he is definitely not an ordinary person who suddenly got a good fortune."

"I even suspect that he is not a human, at least not from Earth!"

After hearing this, Li Yang couldn't help but frowned: "How did you know?"

Li Yang also had some guesses about the identity of the Venerable. Based on his and the Special Bureau's previous investigations, he speculated that this Venerable was most likely an immortal.

Li Yang didn't believe that this troublemaker was an unknown ordinary person in history, but later he checked a lot of information and found no information about this so-called Venerable, nor could he find any similar historical figures. So he began to doubt his own judgment.

You have to know that when he was in the Western Desert, Mijue Duoji, who spent most of his time sleeping deep in the snow-capped mountains, also left a lot of information to follow over the long years. However, there is no clue about why this venerable knew about spiritual energy at least decades in advance and why he had a deal with the blood demon.

Liu Ming calmed himself down and continued, "Actually, this inference was not told to me by others. I made it myself."

"When I first became a Venerable of the Liu Sect, there was an old Dharma Protector who was a die-hard fan of the previous Venerable. He told me that he had followed the previous Venerable since he was a teenager. According to him, they used a strange language at that time, which was not Chinese."

"He also said that the previous Venerable was the incarnation of their great God, and the only significance of their Liu Sect was to cooperate with the Venerable to bring God here."

"At first I just thought it was all bragging. That strange writing was just an ancient sect language, just like the Western Desert Script and the Water Book... until I got a Tai Chi Fish Pendant."

At this point, Liu Ming's face showed reminiscence. "That was the Venerable's keepsake. It had been hidden by the previous Venerable in the depths of a mountain in southern Sichuan. When I inherited the Venerable's position, I begged and pleaded for a long time before that old man dug it out of the mountain for me."

Li Yang leaned forward slightly, his eyes shining: "The token? Where is the token?"

Liu Ming looked anxious and explained carefully, "I was worried about being exposed... so I didn't bring it with me..."

"In southern Sichuan?"

"Yes, in a remote village in Meishan. It is also the last stronghold of the remaining members of the Liu Clan."

"What about the old guardian?"

"Uh, he's dead. Two years ago, he was surrounded by a team of armed police and shot to death with a machine gun..."

"In fact, almost all the fanatical Liu sect members who were loyal to the previous Venerable are dead. These guys were brainwashed and very aggressive. I couldn't persuade them. They were shot by the Special Bureau when they went out to cause trouble... Most of those who survived were those who had not been in the sect for long and were relatively cowardly. That's why they survived..."

Okay, Li Yang sighed inwardly and continued to ask: "Then continue to talk about the jade pendant."

Liu Ming cupped his hands and said, "There are many runes engraved on that Tai Chi fish pendant. After I got it, I thought it was some kind of spiritual practice, so I took the bronze fish pendant to many so-called cultural relic experts."

"The rune content has not been translated, but those experts said that the material of the bronze fish pendant is very unusual, similar to jade but not jade." "I had some guesses in my mind, so I sent the jade pendant to a professional institution controlled by the Liu faction for testing. I found that the material of this jade pendant is not any known material on Earth, and the elements in the jade body are not on the periodic table."

Li Yang was stunned. All the materials, including his Moon Essence Wheel, Ame-no-Kume Sword, and the broken Nanming Sword, were rare in their spirituality and properties. The materials that made up the sword bodies were also the common gold, silver, copper, and iron materials on Earth.

Just like ordinary rice and spiritual rice, when both were sent to professional institutions for testing, there was absolutely no difference in their chemical elements. The only difference was in their spiritual energy.

If what Liu Ming said was true, the origin and background of this jade pendant were somewhat terrifying.

"Then according to your speculation, what is the true identity of the previous Venerable?"

Liu Ming immediately raised his head, his face extremely serious: "Alien, this guy is definitely an alien! Now even immortal cultivators have appeared, the so-called aliens may not be fictional. The previous Venerable must be a spy planted on Earth by an alien civilization with ulterior motives, just waiting for the arrival of that alien civilization, and then joining forces inside and outside..."

"Shut up!"

"okay."

Liu Ming immediately stood below obediently with his head lowered.

Li Yang stood there with his hands holding a curse behind his back, his heart in a turmoil, and for a moment he was actually a little confused.

He recalled the scenes he saw in the Venerable's soul when he was in Nanxi Village.

That was obtained by Li Yang through searching the soul of the Venerable.
He saw several memory images of clothing that did not exist in modern times, as well as a picture of the Venerable drinking tea with an ancient Taoist priest. Those memories were actually blocked by something like chains, preventing his spiritual consciousness from peering into them.

At this moment, Li Yang's face was full of doubt and confusion, and he remembered a detail.

When he was paying homage to Master Chi Yanhong in Tiantai Mountain, he found a portrait of Master Bai Yuchan, which confirmed that Master Bai Yuchan had once had contact with the Venerable and was the Taoist in the Venerable's spiritual memory.

However, the clothing of the founder Bai Yuchan in the memory picture of the Venerable, as well as the clothing of the people in several other pictures, have not been found to match the clothing in the dynasties of China.

Master Bai Yuchan was active in the Southern Song Dynasty. The Taoist robes of that period were easy to recognize. They were mainly divided into middle-length robes and long-length robes. The sleeves were very large, and the cuffs, collars, and corners of the shirt were all trimmed with black edges. A square barrel-shaped hat called a "Dongpo hat" was worn on the head.

However, the clothes of Master Bai Yuchan in the memory of the Venerable were completely different from this.

Now, after listening to what Liu Ming said, an incredible idea suddenly jumped into my mind.

As the master of alchemy in the Southern Song Dynasty, Master Bai Yuchan has such advanced skills that even Li Yang cannot be sure of his ability to follow the tide of spiritual energy and leave this world.

The place and time when this venerable communicated with Patriarch Bai Yuchan was not the Song Dynasty, and it might not even be the Earth! It was another world!
Although Liu Ming's so-called alien words were just nonsense, they might have accidentally pointed out the truth of the matter.

Since there are highly accomplished monks in China who can cross the border and ascend to heaven by following the tide, why can't monks from another world cross over?
