Chapter 64 Source Technique Families are Useless

In the Northern Holy City, the biggest event in the entire Northern Region right now is undoubtedly the joint attack on Purple Mountain by the various holy lands.

However, if we only talk about the Holy City, there is another matter that is even more popular than the attack on Purple Mountain, and that is the earth-shattering gamble that the Origin Art prodigy Gu Feng and the Origin Art family are going to make.

Almost at the same time that Zhang Taichu and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi arrived in the Holy City, news of this earth-shattering gamble reached their ears, and they knew about it without even having to send someone to inquire.

"Isn't that Master Zhang Taichu, the Little Celestial Master? He really came!"

"Could it be that he's also going to make a huge, earth-shattering gamble with Gu Feng, vying for the position of Source Master?"

"The title 'Source Master' is a symbol of strength, not an honorific title. What's there to fight over?"

"That's hard to say. As the saying goes, there's no first place in literature, but there's a clear second in martial arts. Master Yuan should be about the same, right?"

When the Holy Maiden arrived, people from Yaochi naturally came to greet her. Zhang Taichu and his companion first entered the Yaochi Stone Archway, but not long after, Prince Xia Yiming of the Great Xia Dynasty and his sister, Ji Haoyue, the Divine Body of the Ji Family and his sister, Jiang Yifei of the Jiang Family, Yao Yuekong of the Demon Clan, and others arrived.

These people came to the Holy City to witness the showdown between the Ancient Style and the Source Arts Clan. Now that they learned that Zhang Taichu and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had arrived, they naturally rushed over immediately.

They also wanted to see if Zhang Taichu would also get involved. If he really did get involved in gambling on stones, it would definitely be a sensational event.

However, before they could even speak after their arrival, they realized that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had already reached the Dragon Transformation Realm, which made all the geniuses present feel a little uneasy.

Only Ji Ziyue was completely oblivious to matters of cultivation, and she took the initiative to hold the hand of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Sister Yaochi is amazing! She has already reached the second level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, which is much stronger than my brother."

Ji Haoyue, standing to the side, looked grim. These two siblings were practically sworn enemies, yet their bond was incredibly deep.

"I just had a lucky encounter; compared to him, my progress is nothing."

Only then did everyone realize that Zhang Taichu had also reached the Four Extremes Perfection, completely catching up with the great geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness. The shock in everyone's hearts was even greater than when they learned that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"Brother Zhang's progress is simply incredible! In just two years, he has gone from an ordinary person to the Four Perfections, almost catching up with those young emperors in history!"

Yao Yuekong was shocked. Zhang Taichu glanced at him and felt that he probably didn't know about the Demon God Flower, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised.

"I had a lucky encounter that allowed me to barely catch up with you all. Unfortunately, I am just a mortal and cannot compare with you. I believe it won't be long before you leave me behind."

After some polite exchanges, everyone genuinely thought the same thing, especially Ji Haoyue and Yao Yuekong.

One of them possesses a divine body, and the other a celestial demon body; both are special physiques.

Although Yao Yuekong's Heavenly Demon Body was inherently flawed, it was still far superior to that of an ordinary body, so he was indeed confident that he could leave Zhang Taichu behind.

People befriended Zhang Taichu not because they valued his talent for cultivation, but because of his Source Technique.

The conversation then naturally turned to the showdown between the ancient style and the Yuanshu family.

Zhang Taichu didn't mince words and directly expressed his disdain for the Yuanshu families.

"Everyone has more or less come into contact with Source Techniques, and should understand that this path places great emphasis on talent. You either know it or you don't; you can't get started simply by hard work."

"The Source Arts family established itself on Source Arts, and even received guidance from Source Masters. However, after so many years, not a single Source Master has been born. It is clear that they are a group of mediocre people."

"That brother named Gu Feng, according to you, isn't very old, but his eye for identifying sources is extremely accurate, showing he's quite talented. Therefore, I believe Gu Feng will win this earth-shattering gamble, and by a large margin!"

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense. Their families also had some inheritance in Origin Arts, and many of them had dabbled in it. However, as Zhang Taichu said, many people who considered themselves highly talented could not even get started with Origin Arts.

It is clear that the talent for Source Arts is not the same as the talent for cultivation in the Secret Realm. If you know it, you know it; if you don't, no amount of effort will help.

The Source Arts family has been studying Source Arts for so many generations, yet they haven't produced a single Source Master. They are indeed a bit of a waste.

At the same time, they also knew that Zhang Taichu was at odds with the Yuanshu family. Back then, Ouyang Hua led people to hunt down Zhang Taichu, but was killed by him instead. The two sides had long been mortal enemies, so it was understandable that he supported Gu Feng this time.

While everyone was chatting, news arrived that the duel between the Ancient Style and the Source Arts Clan would take place at the Yaoguang Stone Workshop.

Upon hearing this, everyone naturally couldn't sit still and got up to head towards Yaoguang Stone Archway.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gently tugged at Zhang Taichu, and the two fell slightly behind before communicating telepathically.

"Do you know this Gu Feng? Is he also a disciple of Master Yuan?"

"I don't know him. As for whether he is a successor of the Source Master, that's quite possible. After all, Source Arts are very difficult to learn on your own; you need someone to guide you."

"Besides, he's so young, so I guess he must have received some kind of inheritance like the Origin Book."

"The Book of Origin?!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was very familiar with this thing; in fact, the Origin Book had once fallen into the hands of the previous Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

But as Zhang Taichu just said, Origin Arts depend on talent. Even though Yang Yi obtained the Origin Book, she did not become an Origin Master because of it.

The same situation continues now. During this period, she and Zhang Taichu went into seclusion together and came into contact with the scriptures and deities of the Source Master. However, the Yaochi Saintess's Source Techniques have not made much progress, and she has not even mastered the Source Heaven Divine Sense yet.

It is evident that her talent in the art of source techniques is rather average, so she has given up on it and begun to focus on cultivation in the secret realm.

"So, he's very likely a successor to Zhang Lin, the fourth-generation Source Master?"

Zhang Taichu smiled.

"Who knows? We'll see him soon anyway, let's wait and see."

The group arrived at Yaoguang Stone Workshop. Before they even saw the people from the Yuanshu family and Gu Feng, they first saw the grumpy face of the person in charge of Yaoguang Stone Workshop.

It was clear that he had strong opinions about both sides choosing this venue.

But in Zhang Taichu's view, none of the leaders of these holy land families had any business acumen.

In reality, the owners of stone gambling shops are not afraid of others winning, just like casino owners are not afraid of gamblers winning money.

The more you win, the more customers you attract. As long as you don't cheat, you'll eventually lose all the money you win.

Casinos make money not by cheating, but by using mathematics.

The same applies to stone carving workshops. If a well-known stone carving workshop fails to produce good quality goods for a long time, people will assume that it doesn't have any good products. Over time, will it still attract customers?

Master Yuan is undoubtedly a god in the hearts of stone gamblers. The fact that he goes to a stone shop to gamble on stones proves that the stone from that shop is of high quality. He is definitely a top-notch spokesperson.

They don't even understand the GG effect. Zhang Taichu can only say that these stone archway managers are really a bunch of laymen and idiots!

"Look, it's Master Zhang Taichu! He really came to join in the fun."

"Brother Zhang, would you like to join in the gamble?"

"Would you like to gamble again with today's winner?"

"Brother Zhang, you have a grudge against the Yuanshu family. Why not take this opportunity to thoroughly crush their arrogance?"

Zhang Taichu greeted acquaintances and then walked inside surrounded by them. When the person in charge of Yaoguang Stone Workshop saw him, his already unpleasant face turned even uglier.
