Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

"Ren Qingshan, your pursuit of the Dao is somewhat frightening to me."

Jin Wujiu's eye muscles twitched slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.

Ren Qingshan still smiled: "Without this thought, how can one establish a foundation?"

"My father did not accept apprentices from outside the family."

Jin Wujiu strongly resisted and refused again.

Ren Qingshan smiled and said, "That's probably because he hasn't seen me as I am now. You just need to introduce me to him."

Jin Wujiu stared intently at the boy who, a year ago, was only at the third level of Qi Refining.

He came from the barren lands of the North.

His whole family were just ordinary people before.

He faced death with a will to live and chose the Pangu Great Strength Visualization Method.

He faced death once again and went to Tianxu.

Right now, he, at the sixth level of Qi Refining, is like a beautiful jade encased in a stone skin, the stone skin completely shattered, revealing its brilliance.

Jin Wujiu took a deep breath and stood up.

"Get past me first!"

……

The training ground in the backyard of the mansion.

Jin Wujiu finished setting up the formation and gestured to Ren Qingshan, saying, "Please!"

In this contest, where souls clash against auras and a leader confronts a subordinate, Jin Wujiu only wanted to give him a good punishment.

Sixth level of Qi Refining, what are you floating around for?

After bowing to him, Ren Qingshan resolutely stepped into the formation.

The next second, a flash of light appeared before my eyes, and I found myself in a golden palace.

This is Jin Wujiu's aura, the one I've seen before.

Compared to before, the Golden Palace now exudes a more ethereal aura, as if it exists between reality and illusion. Its energy flows exceptionally dynamically, almost like a living thing, capable of gathering and dispersing at will.

Golden auras transformed into profound runes, appearing like a multitude of swords unleashed, densely packed and overwhelming.

"Let me see your aura!"

Ren Qingshan looked at everything before him expressionlessly.

However, the aura was not activated.

Just a spark of electricity, quietly lingering between my fingers.

next interest.

The scenery before him changed again, and the Golden Palace vanished without a trace in an instant, leaving only Jin Wujiu's terrified and shocked face.

"Heavenly Tribulation Lightning?"

"What did you do in the Heavenly Ruins?!"

Jin Wujiu shouted, unable to contain himself.

It's hard to imagine that this tribulation lightning, which destroys everything, would actually appear in Ren Qingshan's hands!

"Now, can you take me to see him?"

Ren Qingshan did not respond, but simply asked with a smile.

……

Qinghua Immortal Island.

That small courtyard.

Ren Qingshan arrived for the second time.

Jin Qianyuan remained seated before the chessboard like a statue, gazing intently at it, though the opponent was now alone.

"Father, Ren Qingshan needs to speak with you."

Jin Wujiu said respectfully.

"explain."

Jin Qianyuan smiled calmly, sparing with his words.

"I wish to take the Venerable One as my teacher in order to establish my foundation!"

Ren Qingshan cupped his hands in greeting and said firmly.

Jin Qianyuan seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment, he chuckled softly, "Alright. What do you want to learn?"

Upon seeing this.

Jin Wujiu was shocked once again.

He never expected that his father would agree to Ren Qingshan's request so easily.

Not even asking?

"I naturally want to learn the principles of cause and effect."

Ren Qingshan already had a plan in mind. This was Jin Qianyuan's specialty. Even if he had other skills, he would first learn about cause and effect.

"No."

"How can cause and effect be cultivated?"

"Besides, what I cultivate is not the path of cause and effect."

"Even if I have cultivated myself, I cannot pass it on to you. If you have cultivated yourself, what am I cultivating?"

"The path to foundation building has only one true method; you may only cultivate your own path."

Jin Qianyuan shook his head and smiled, but then gently offered a word of advice.

"Then I would like to ask my master to perform a divination for me, to find out where my opportunity for foundation building lies?"

Ren Qingshan asked again.

Calculate!

Let's see what you can figure out!

Upon hearing this, Jin Qianyuan laughed again, then suddenly waved his hand, isolating Jin Wujiu, and a formation enveloped only the two of them.

"I said that day that you are an outsider in this game of chess, not just at that time, but also at this moment."

"If I'm not mistaken, the primordial energy of the mortal world that Zhuge Sheng has been so longing for has been cultivated by you."

Ren Qingshan looked at him quietly: "Yes."

Since he asked, he should admit it.

"In that celestial ruin, you were the one who newly constructed the Five Paths of Wealth, weren't you?"

Jin Qianyuan asked again.

Ren Qingshan took a deep breath, his heart inevitably racing a bit, and nodded again: "Yes."

Right now, it's all a gamble.

If he loses the bet, then he'll taste the power of Foundation Establishment and see if his self-destruction, combined with the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, can shake him even a little.

As for the Book of One Hundred Deaths...

If Jin Qianyuan could calculate it, then he would not merely be at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the Jin family would not simply be one of the three middle-level families.

"Rainbow Tribulation, how did you manage to block it?"

Electricity flashed at Ren Qingshan's fingertips.

Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.

Jin Qianyuan looked at him with slight surprise: "Let me see your aura."

at this time.

Ren Qingshan thought of something: the "seed of thought" in Jin Wujiu's body might not have come from Jin Qianyuan.

Did he not "see" it just now?

He took a deep breath and let Ren Qingshan unleash the mortal tribulations of the sea.

Apart from the immense force of the finger and the Nine Chapters of Soul-Seizing Divine Sense, everything else was displayed before him.

"Limitless Spiritual Root".

"The myriad mortal energies."

"Pangu's Great Strength and Righteous Seal".

"The Seal of the Five Gods of Wealth".

"The Desolate Sword of Annihilation".

"Heavenly Tribulation Lightning".

Jin Qianyuan read them out one by one, his eyes growing brighter and brighter: "Ren Qingshan, how would you name this aura?"

"The Tribulations of the Mortal World!"

Ren Qingshan did not hesitate.

"What a mortal world of tribulations!"

"So, why do you think I would take you as my disciple but not kidnap you?"

Jin Qianyuan gestured for him to sit down.

Ren Qingshan sat opposite him on the chessboard, a bright smile on his face.

"In Tianxu, I met a cultivator named Ling Zhengrong, who claimed to be a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator. He lived in Youfeng Inn, a place where cause and effect converge."

"When I first met him, he avoided me like the plague, and even refused to speak to me."

"It seems the tribulation I'm facing is quite severe."

"Every cause has its effect. The mortal world is full of tribulations. You are at the Foundation Establishment stage, and your cultivation is higher than mine, so your tribulations are naturally greater than mine."

"If it were someone who couldn't calculate, I wouldn't dare come, but you can."

This is precisely why Ren Qingshan dared to come.

Regardless of Zhuge Sheng...

It's still Ling Zhengrong...

And the current Jin Qianyuan...

The more knowledgeable one is about the secrets of heaven, the more reverent one is towards them.

Jin Qianyuan laughed heartily.

"This Senior Ling was once a great cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. His cultivation level dropped, and he no longer even reached the Foundation Establishment stage. He was saddened by karma and feared you like a snake."

"However, Ren Qingshan, you are truly an exceptionally intelligent person, and your courage is astonishing. From such a detail, you were able to think of having Huitiandu become my disciple."

Jin Qianyuan was full of admiration.

This kind of mindset is truly not something that ordinary people can possess.

This apprentice is good, very good.

Ren Qingshan nodded and smiled... "Your son praised me like that back then too."

"I also have something I'd like to ask Master."

"You haven't witnessed the mortal world's calamities, nor the heavenly tribulation lightning, so why have you already decided to take me in?"

Ren Qingshan had doubts and was wary about this matter, so of course he had to ask.

Jin Qianyuan looked at him calmly.

"Regarding the battle of visualization, my Jin family owes you a favor, and of course we must repay it."

"It's just that you've had a tough journey, and you've been wary and suspicious all along. Only now are you coming to me to fulfill your promise."

"Whatever you asked for just now, I will do it if it's within my power."

Ok?

Ren Qingshan was stunned upon hearing this.

Could it be that Jin Qianyuan truly keeps his word?

Am I being narrow-minded?
