Qi Daolin was also stunned when he heard Xiao Yan's words.

This question from the other party seems to be a dead end.

He didn't know how to answer.

"This one……"

Qi Daolin scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Young friend... to be honest, I really can't answer your question."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes widened in surprise: "No way? Shouldn't an old man like you have lived for many years? How could you not be able to answer?"

Qi Daolin smiled wryly, "Although I have lived a long time, I don't know everything. Moreover, that word is indeed taboo. Ordinary cultivators dare not mention it, let alone use it in their names. But those people in the Immortal Palace... they always act mysteriously. Perhaps the Immortal Palace has special methods to circumvent the taboo regarding the name Di Chong, or perhaps it's fine as long as that word isn't spoken alone. But who would easily try such a thing?"

Zhu Chen's heart stirred slightly.

Not a single word can be spoken, but the name can be called out.

This is blatant double standards, isn't it?

Seeing the two remain silent, Qi Daolin quickly changed the subject, saying, "Young friends, what do you think of my proposal? If either of you is willing to join the Supreme Daoist Academy, I am willing to impart the entire Eight-Nine Heavens Technique, the Supreme Daoist Academy's inherited treasure technique, to you!"

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow: "Eight-Nine Heavenly Technique? What is that? I've only ever heard of the Eight-Nine Profound Technique..."

Qi Daolin chuckled and said confidently, "This Eight-Nine Heavens Technique is the most treasured skill of my Supreme Daoist Temple. When mastered, it can simultaneously fuse eight or nine different precious techniques, multiplying their power..."

"That's it?"

Disappointment flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

He originally thought this so-called "Eight-Nine Heavenly Skill" would be just as awesome as Sun Wukong's "Eight-Nine Profound Skill".

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a spell that imitated someone else's technique.

What's the point of this!
Seeing that Xiao Yan looked down on his "Eight-Nine Heavens Technique," Qi Daolin quickly corrected his attitude and continued, "Don't underestimate my Eight-Nine Heavens Technique just because it's a fusion technique. The true essence of this technique is actually the superposition of the power of various precious techniques. Imagine if you used eight or nine precious techniques at the same time, and then superimposed their power together, what kind of power would that be? This is a top-tier technique that even the leaders of those ancient sects covet!"

Qi Daolin became more and more excited as he spoke, wishing he could praise his "Eight-Nine Heavens Skill" as the number one skill in the world.

However, as Xiao Yan listened to his introduction, the expression on his face suddenly became strange.

He leaned closer to Zhu Chen and whispered, "Brother, what is this old man talking about, the Eight-Nine Heavenly Technique? It sounds so much like your Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique!"

Zhu Chen smiled but did not answer.

Qi Daolin's "Eight-Nine Heavenly Skill" was originally an incomplete version of "Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Skill".

They look somewhat similar, isn't that normal?

He looked up at Qi Daolin and asked with a smile, "Master Qi, I'd like to know why you chose the two of us to be the successors of your Supreme Daoist Temple?"

Qi Daolin was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"That's a good question."

He stroked his beard and said seriously, "First of all, your style of doing things is very similar to mine when I was young, especially you, Zhu Chen. You dare to challenge the Immortal Palace. I admire your courage."

"Secondly, you have a grudge against the Immortal Palace, just like me. This means we have a common enemy, and at least on the matter of dealing with the Immortal Palace, we are on the same page."

Xiao Yan interjected, "Is there a third one?"

Qi Daolin chuckled, his gaze sweeping over the two men's faces: "As for the third one... you two are both very handsome, just like I was when I was young."

Xiao Yan: "..."

Zhu Chen: "..."

"Pfft~"

Qingyi almost burst out laughing.

This old man really knows how to praise himself.

Looking into Qi Daolin's sincere eyes, Zhu Chen felt a slight stirring in his heart. He could tell that the old man wasn't lying this time.

The other party genuinely wanted him and Xiao Yan to join the Supreme Dojo, and also genuinely wanted to pass on the "Eight-Nine Heavens Technique" to them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have explained the technique in such detail.

Since the other party is so sincere, he naturally won't be stingy.

"Master Qi, to be honest, the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique you mentioned is actually an incomplete version of another technique..."

Zhu Chen stated frankly.

Qi Daolin's eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say?"

Without saying much, Zhu Chen took out a crystal-clear precious bone from his own cave and handed it to Qi Daolin.

"This is the complete inheritance of the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique. Your Eight-Nine Heavenly Technique is an incomplete version evolved from this technique. If you don't believe it, you can verify it yourself..."

Qi Daolin took the precious bone and probed it with his divine sense.

The next second, his expression completely changed.

"This...this is..."

His hands began to tremble, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Reincarnation...Six Paths...Life and Death...Yin and Yang..."

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is... I never expected the missing part of the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique to be here..."

Qi Daolin suddenly raised his head, his gaze towards Zhu Chen filled with shock and gratitude.

"Young friend Zhu Chen, this gift is far too precious... This old man..."

Zhu Chen waved his hand, interrupting him directly: "Master Qi, there's no need for that. Since you're willing to impart all of your Eight-Nine Heaven Technique to me, I naturally won't hold back. Besides, this technique isn't that important to me anymore."

Qi Daolin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.

Finally, he could only bow deeply to Zhu Chen and solemnly say, "Young friend Zhu Chen, I will remember your kindness!"

Xiao Yan watched from the side, amused: "Old man, weren't you going to take us as your disciples? Why are you bowing to our elder brother now?"

Qi Daolin blushed and said irritably, "Don't be so smug, kid. Although I can't teach you, from now on, the doors of the Supreme Dojo will always be open to you. You can come anytime you want!"

Xiao Yan chuckled but didn't reply.

Zhu Chen then looked at Qi Daolin and asked, "Master Qi, what are your plans next?"

Qi Daolin put away the precious bone, thought for a moment and said, "I need to go into seclusion for a while to properly comprehend the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art. As for seeking revenge against the Immortal Palace... I will wait for a suitable opportunity."

He originally intended to find a successor who suited his tastes, to impart all his knowledge to him, and then have that person challenge the current successor of the Immortal Palace.

But Zhu Chen could easily produce the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique," which even he didn't possess, making him instantly realize that the two people's origins were anything but ordinary.

These two can even casually give away a cultivation technique like the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art." If he continues to shamelessly seek out these two to become the successors of the Supreme Daoist Temple, it would be too beneath his dignity.

Moreover, with this "Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique," he might be able to seek revenge in the Immortal Palace in the future.

The search for a successor can be put on hold for now.

Seeing that Qi Daolin no longer invited him and Xiao Yan to join the Supreme Dojo, Zhu Chen casually mentioned, "Master Qi, if you really want a successor, I can recommend one to you?"

Qi Daolin's eyes flashed, and he looked up at Zhu Chen: "Who?"

Zhu Chen smirked and uttered a single word: "Desolate!"
