Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

246. Chapter 246 Mortals And Bones!

"This Fellow Daoist, staring at others like this, is a bit impolite!"

At this moment, seeing Liu Zimo not saying a word for a long time, but instead constantly sizing her up, Ouyang Xinxin couldn't help but remind him again, "I just told you my name, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

Only then did Liu Zimo come back to his senses. He quickly withdrew his gaze, straightened his posture, and saluted with clasped hands, intending to introduce himself.

Swish!

Before he could speak, a stream of light suddenly flashed above the valley.

In an instant, a person descended from the sky and landed right between him and Ouyang Xinxin, interrupting Liu Zimo's self-introduction.

"Haha, Xinxin, you finally Ascended!"

"It's worthy of being the strongest genius of the Ouyang family in the past hundred thousand years. You successfully broke through to the Transcendent Realm in just a short thousand years. Impressive!"

The person who arrived was a rough-looking male cultivator with a full beard and a height of nearly two meters. He looked at Ouyang Xinxin with satisfaction, raised his thumb, and laughed loudly.

"I heard that you are Ascending to the Upper Realm today. I've been waiting for you!"

"Xinxin, can you guess who I am?"

Ouyang Xinxin raised her head and looked at the middle-aged cultivator who suddenly appeared in front of her. She smiled charmingly and bowed, "Junior Ouyang Xinxin, I pay my respects to Senior Songnian!"

"Thank you, Senior Songnian, for personally coming to guide me. Xinxin is grateful!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Songnian laughed again.

"You clever girl, but I didn't see any trace of fear from you at all!"

"Let's go, I'll take you home now. I've already informed Xu, who guards this Ascension area, so there's no need to register. We can leave directly!"

"Your grandfather and your brother are waiting for you at home!"

Liu Zimo stood by as if he were invisible.

From beginning to end, Ouyang Songnian didn't even glance at him.

However, from the conversation between Ouyang Songnian and Ouyang Xinxin, Liu Zimo already understood.

The Ouyang family should have some influence in the Transcendent Realm.

Otherwise, that person in charge wouldn't give him face and let him take Ouyang Xinxin away directly.

The Ascension area, as soon as you hear it, is a beginner's area specifically prepared for those Ascending to the Upper Realm.

The guardian who can preside over this place must also have an extraordinary background.

The fact that Ouyang Songnian can communicate with and even open a backdoor for such an existence shows that the Ouyang family is not insignificant in the Transcendent Realm.

There is another point.

Ouyang Songnian actually knew in advance that Ouyang Xinxin was going to Ascend, and he quickly determined the specific time and location of her arrival in the Upper Realm.

It's not that the Ouyang family has an extremely skilled diviner who can accurately predict the Ascension of their family members in the Lower Realm.

It's that they have already mastered a special way to communicate with people in the Lower Realm and can get timely information.

Regardless of which situation it is, it is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the Ouyang family.

However, none of this matters.

For Liu Zimo, no matter how extraordinary the background of the Ouyang family is, it is not as important as the golden lock shining with a three-foot golden light on top of Ouyang Songnian's head.

From the moment Ouyang Songnian flew down in front of him, Liu Zimo's gaze was already attracted by the golden lock on top of his head.

Unlike the dazzling golden light that radiates from ordinary martial artists in the earthly realm, the golden lock on Ouyang Songnian's head is not only made of solid material, but the light emitted from it is also gentle and holy, radiating from the inside out.

This is like comparing a light bulb to a pearl. Although both can emit light, their materials and the feelings they give off are completely different.

Moreover, the intensity of the golden glow emitted from Ouyang Songnian's head is clearly slightly stronger than the green halo emitted from Ouyang Xinxin's wooden lock.

What does this mean?

This means that Ouyang Songnian's talent and aptitude are slightly higher than Ouyang Xinxin's.

Therefore, in the gap between Ouyang Songnian and Ouyang Xinxin's conversation, Liu Zimo decisively bound him as his "good brother".

[Binding successful! Your good brother Ouyang Songnian is now online, currently bindable objects (2/1000)]

After the successful binding, an exclamation mark also appeared above Ouyang Songnian's head.

Liu Zimo's thoughts moved, and two bubble messages appeared directly above Ouyang Songnian's head:

[Name] Ouyang Songnian

[Age] 18651

[Spirit Root] Top-grade Gold Spirit Root, Mid-grade Wood Spirit Root

[Cultivation Realm] Gold Core Ninth Realm

[Cultivation Techniques] Qiankun Qi Jue, Reincarnation Dao Method, Golden Body Nine Transformations, Sword Control Technique...

"Top-grade Gold Spirit Root, Mid-grade Wood Spirit Root, indeed, the material of the lock shadow above his head is determined by his main spirit root!"

"My previous guess was not wrong!"

Liu Zimo looked at Ouyang Songnian's [Spirit Root] attribute and muttered to himself.

Then, his gaze moved down and saw Ouyang Songnian's current cultivation realm.

"Gold Core Ninth Realm?"

"Even the Daoist's Gold Core has appeared?"

Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow, unable to help but feel a longing.

"Could it be that this so-called transcendent realm is the legendary cultivation world, and everyone is following the path of cultivation?"

Just as Liu Zimo was lost in thought, the conversation between Ouyang Songnian and Ouyang Xinxin had already ended.

Ouyang Songnian wanted to take Ouyang Xinxin away directly, but Ouyang Xinxin looked at Liu Zimo.

"Fellow Daoist, you are the first person I have met in this Ascension Realm. It is said that meeting is fate. Please bestow me a name, and if we meet again in the future, I will invite you to drink!"

Ouyang Xinxin once again asked Liu Zimo for a name.

This was already her third time asking Liu Zimo.

For some reason, she always felt that this young man in front of her was somewhat different, and inexplicably wanted to get to know him and establish a good relationship!

"I am..."

Liu Zimo bowed and was about to continue his self-introduction, but was interrupted by Ouyang Songnian's direct wave of his hand.

"Xinxin, what's the point of making friends with an ordinary mortal who mistakenly entered this place?"

"Look at his bone age, only twenty-one years old, with no cultivation remaining on his body. Obviously, he is a mortal without any spiritual roots. He is not worthy of you stooping to make friends with him!"

"Let's go, there are still many people in the clan waiting for you. Come back with me!"

After speaking, without waiting for Ouyang Xinxin to speak, Ouyang Songnian directly waved his hand and forcibly took Ouyang Xinxin away.

In an instant, only Liu Zimo was left in the valley, standing alone in place.

"This... I was completely ignored!"

Liu Zimo shook his head speechlessly, but he didn't take it to heart.

They are all his "good brothers" and "good sisters", it's worth letting go of this grudge.

Moreover, with his current cultivation level, which is like that of a disabled person, he doesn't even have the opportunity to show off or pretend to be a saint in front of others.

Now, he only hopes that Ouyang Songnian and Ouyang Xinxin can cultivate faster so that he can benefit from their cultivation power and not be as weak as he is now, unable to even walk properly.

"Forget it, let's continue to look for wild fruits to eat. If I don't eat anything soon, my stomach will really starve!"

Liu Zimo regained his focus, covering his growling stomach, and continued walking towards the slope ahead.

It took him about ten minutes to walk a distance of two to three hundred meters before reaching the edge of the forest.

A strong fruity scent wafted through the air with the breeze, making Liu Zimo's mouth water and his stomach grow even hungrier.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Zimo quickened his pace and entered the forest directly, following the enticing scent.

Before long, he found the tree that emitted the strong fruity scent.

It was an unknown tree that stood about twenty meters tall, with a trunk circumference of about five meters, too big for ten people to encircle.

Standing under the tree, Liu Zimo looked up.

Hanging from the branches about ten meters above the ground were golden, plump fruits that looked like apples, emitting the same fragrance he had smelled by the stream.

"They look delicious, but... these fruits seem to be a bit too high!"

Liu Zimo muttered to himself, feeling a sense of helplessness.

With his current physical condition, it would be difficult for him to climb a tree, let alone find a long enough branch.

Helpless, Liu Zimo had to sit under the tree and rest for a while.

After catching his breath and regaining some strength, he stood up again and began searching the surroundings, hoping to find a ten-meter-long dry branch.

After a while, he had circled around the tree and actually found a suitable long and slender branch.

It was over ten meters long, as thick as a thumb, light in weight, but tough and sturdy.

Liu Zimo casually waved it in his hand, feeling its weight and suitability.

Without thinking too much, he excitedly returned to the tree and raised the branch, ready to knock down the fruits hanging from the branches.

"Hey!"

"You, young man, have no manners at all. Don't you know that this tree already has an owner?"

"Taking without permission is thievery. Even if you get beaten to death, you won't have a place to reason!"

Before he could knock down a single fruit, Liu Zimo heard a light scolding in his ear.

Immediately after, a person's head suddenly appeared on the top branch of the tree.

The person looked down at Liu Zimo with a dissatisfied expression and warned him.

Liu Zimo was directly embarrassed on the spot.

Could it be?

This tree actually has an owner?

How unlucky is he? He just wanted to knock down a fruit to fill his stomach, but he ended up being caught by the owner of the tree.

"Hey? You little kid, without any cultivation or talent, how did you manage to come to this Ascension Land?"

Before Liu Zimo could explain, the person on the tree flashed and appeared directly in front of Liu Zimo the next second.

After sizing up Liu Zimo, the person shook his head speechlessly.

"Twenty-one years old, no spiritual roots, no cultivation, indeed an ordinary mortal!"

"I knew it, those people from the Array Pavilion are unreliable. They just repaired the illusion array half a year ago, and yet they let an ordinary mortal from outside accidentally enter again!"

"It's really troublesome. I can't even have a peaceful sleep!"

The person frowned and muttered to himself.

Just like before, he also mistook Liu Zimo for an ordinary person who had mistakenly entered the land of Ascension.

There's no other way.

Who made Liu Zimo's age so young, with no obvious spiritual roots, and a weak body that couldn't even take a few steps without panting?

In this state, no one would believe that he is a newly ascended genius from the lower realm.

And Liu Zimo, standing in front of him, also saw the faint blue water lock shadow above the other person's head.

The light was weak, only extending three centimeters from the lock, shimmering with a delicate beauty.

Compared to the golden lock and wooden lock emitting three feet of brilliance above Ouyang Songnian and Ouyang Xinxin's heads, the aptitude of this cultivator in front of him was far inferior.

But even so, Liu Zimo didn't hesitate to choose to bind him.

There's no other way, he is currently "short of people".

He'll catch anyone he can.

After all, he has expanded his binding quota to one thousand people, with plenty of opportunities to bind those true geniuses.

For now, he needs to ensure that he can overcome the current difficulties.

[Binding successful! Your good brother Xu Yuanzong is online, current bindable targets (3/1000)]

Xu?

Could it be the Xu Zhen who Ouyang Songnian mentioned before?

Liu Zimo's mind stirred slightly.

After the successful binding, he habitually checked Xu Yuanzong's character attributes:

[Name] Xu Yuanzong

[Age] 5651

[Spiritual Roots] Medium-grade water spiritual root, low-grade wood spiritual root

[Cultivation Realm] Foundation Establishment, Seventh Stage

[Cultivation Techniques] Azure Water Technique, Turtle Breathing Dao, Spirit Plant Nurturing Art, Sword Control Technique...

Medium-grade water spiritual root, Foundation Establishment, Seventh Stage.

Whether it's the quality of spiritual roots or the cultivation realm, it seems to be much inferior to Ouyang Songnian.

No wonder Ouyang Songnian didn't show much respect when mentioning this "Xu Zhen".

"Forget it, forget it. Since things have come to this, I can only go through another difficult journey and send this trouble away!"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yuanzong shook his head helplessly and made a decision.

"Kid, this is not where you should be. Come with me!"

Saying that, regardless of Liu Zimo's reaction, Xu Yuanzong reached out his right hand and grabbed Liu Zimo's neck, lifting him up and flying away in an instant.

After several twists and turns, avoiding the outer double-layer illusion array, Xu Yuanzong brought Liu Zimo out of the valley.

Swish!

After flying several kilometers to the west, Xu Yuanzong directly threw Liu Zimo into a small mountain village closest to the land of Ascension.

After that, without even leaving a word, he disappeared with a flash.

Fortunately, when Xu Yuanzong casually threw Liu Zimo, he used a clever technique, landing silently.

Otherwise, if he was thrown down from hundreds of meters in the air like that, with Liu Zimo's current physical strength, he would have been smashed into a pulp.

"Village Chief! Village Chief! There's an outsider in the village!"

Several children playing in the village were the first to notice Liu Zimo's presence. Without any hesitation, they ran into the village to inform the others. (End of this chapter)
