Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader-Chapter 1287 - 998: Asking the Heavens! How Do You Walk the Path to the Heavens?

Chapter 1287: Chapter 998: Asking the Heavens! How Do You Walk the Path to the Heavens?

There are many types of people. The Black Wind Village Chief’s actions in the face of great rights and wrongs are in line with people’s expectations, making him an outstanding person."

This statement left everyone visibly shaken, seemingly enlightened.

"Hahaha! Master Zhang truly speaks pearls of wisdom."

Zhang Dali recognized that this was not flattery for Master Zhang Sanfeng, nor did he need to flatter him. It was a true expression of the other’s heartfelt understanding of life.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, lowered his gaze to the jade-green tea, and said, "I’m sure you are curious why I’ve come here today."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, "I have long admired you, Master Jiang, and never expected you to visit our Wudang today. It was reported that you were inquiring about the War God Temple not long ago. Is this visit to Wudang related to that matter?"

"No, it is not."

Jiang Dali smiled faintly, his thick and long eyebrows exhibiting a rugged masculine charm, with his eyes showing an ambitious brilliance as he said, "Among the strong individuals I know, there are three at the Returning to Truth realm. Two of them are my enemies, and one is you, Master Zhang. Among these three, I most admire and respect you."

This time I have come to Wudang to seek your guidance on the matter of Returning to Truth. I wish to break through to the Returning to Truth realm at Wudang!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing Jiang Dali’s last words, Song Yuanqiao and the others were all shocked, as if a series of dull thunderclaps exploded in their minds, leaving them feeling dizzy.

Returning to Truth!!

The Black Wind Village Chief wishes to break through to Returning to Truth?

Does he not understand what this realm truly signifies?

Could he really have seen some hope or opportunity?

Could it be because he acquired the War God Chronicles, which offered him this chance?

The rumored first divine book of the Martial Arts world, the War God Chronicles, could really enable someone to make a significant breakthrough upon understanding it?

Even with Zhang Sanfeng’s exceptional composure, he couldn’t help but be startled by Jiang Dali’s shocking statement. However, he quickly felt as if the young man across from him was conveying something through his spirit, without saying or doing anything, he suddenly understood the other’s thoughts.

After carefully reassessing Jiang Dali, he slowly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Since Master Jiang has such a request, I believe you must be somewhat confident. Given how highly you regard me, it is only right for me to speak without reserve and hope that you may gain something."

"Master."

Song Yuanqiao immediately stepped forward, looking at Zhang Sanfeng with a gaze full of inquiry and hesitation.

If Zhang Sanfeng truly were to guide Jiang Dali in breaking through to the Returning to Truth realm, spreading this news would undoubtedly have a severely negative impact on Wudang’s reputation and status, possibly causing it to be overshadowed by Shaolin, traditionally its equal in the Righteous Path.

"Yuanqiao."

Zhang Sanfeng, with a kind and benevolent expression, slightly shook his head at Song Yuanqiao.

Song Yuanqiao could not find it in his heart to go against his master’s will, so he and the others could only sigh inwardly and step aside.

Jiang Dali rose with a smile and cupped his fists towards Zhang Sanfeng, "I am truly impressed and ashamed of your generosity, Master Zhang, in willingly imparting your guidance. I must consider myself indebted to you, my elder."

At this point, Jiang Dali genuinely admired the kind and generous old sage, and arrogant as he was, he was willing to perform the courtesy of a junior instead of referring to himself by his title of Village Chief. This was both a gesture of respect to Zhang Sanfeng and an acknowledgment of the elder’s esteem.

"Master, this is wonderful. Grandmaster will surely help you break through to the Returning to Truth realm!" Zhang Wuji exclaimed joyfully.

"Breaking through is inevitable for your master. The question is how to break through."

Jiang Dali’s brows exuded strong confidence as he reached out to pat Zhang Wuji’s round head.

During the past few days as he traveled to Wudang, his Cultivation Points had surpassed the three million mark, making the breakthrough a matter of a moment.

Infected by his immense confidence, Zhang Wuji nodded in admiration, but a multitude of doubts arose in his heart. What does it mean to ask how to break through?

Amidst these doubts, Jiang Dali and Zhang Sanfeng walked out of the Three Pure Ones Hall with smiles, side by side.

Wudang’s martial heroes, including Song Yuanqiao, watched the tall figures of the two leave, exchanging looks before revealing a hint of worry and helplessness.

If the Black Wind Village Chief were to break through to the Returning to Truth realm, would it be a blessing or a curse for the Martial World?

If it were a blessing, all would celebrate.

If it were a curse, it would surely bring disaster to Wudang.

...

Huff huff huff—

Jiang Dali and Zhang Sanfeng swiftly exhibited their supreme movement techniques, racing like the wind, leaving the sight of many Wudang players far behind, and quickly reached the most scenic spot among the Wudang Thirty-Six Rocks, South Rock.

This place is celebrated as the "Holy Realm" where Zhenwu, as taught by Taoism, attained enlightenment and ascended, located under Duyang Rock, with a soaring mountain posture resembling wings stretching to the sky, rich in beauty.

Zhang Sanfeng seemingly understood Jiang Dali’s intentions were not truly about consulting on Returning to Truth. He actively avoided the crowd, inviting Jiang Dali to this secluded and beautiful location.

Jiang Dali followed closely, as if he had long known the profound, enigmatic old sage, not just for his character, but for the inexplicable natural trust formed between them during their interaction, as if they had known each other for a long time. As such, there was no need for excessive formalities between them to reach a certain understanding.

The person one most admires must necessarily be similar to oneself, as everyone undoubtedly admires themselves.

In observing Zhang Sanfeng’s early experiences, he was famously known as San Feng, undefeated throughout the land, obsessed with martial arts, unconstrained by social norms, and even in old age remained unkempt, yet possessed a heart to benefit society.

While this personality may not be exactly the same as Jiang Dali’s, Jiang Dali’s deeds were almost exactly aligned with the old sage’s own, although many were merely the convenient expedients along his path to dominance, without a real intent to aid the world. Yet, if one looks at the results, they are undoubtedly favorable, and that is enough.

The two soared to the rock, momentarily lost in the boundless scenic beauty around them, calming their minds and settling into silence to regulate their breaths.

In the distance, verdant mountains dipped into emerald, clouds drifting aimlessly, the setting sun spilling blood, solitary stones standing, the splendor beyond words.

Jiang Dali placed his hands behind his back, exclaiming, "In the realm of nature, there is no destined master, only the leisurely are the owners. This saying is indeed true!"

Zhang Sanfeng chuckled, "Therefore, I, the old sage, would rather be a tranquil country hermit than get involved in too many trivial worldly matters, thereby becoming my own master."

As they turned to face each other, they both couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Zhang Sanfeng’s silver hair fluttered in the wind as he mused with his hands behind his back, "Little friend, although you are confident and capable of reaching the Returning to Truth realm, you still have questions to ask the old sage. I suspect your questions concern the path you wish to take in the future?"

"Indeed!"

Jiang Dali’s normally calm and composed face seemed to radiate with light, filled with excitement as he looked up at the blood-red horizon of the sky, and sighed, "The question I want to ask today is about the sky!

If there is a path in the sky, how should I walk it? If there is no path in the sky, how should I find one?"
