Chapter 1246B. The Concealed Truth



Chapter 1246B. The Concealed Truth

“Cough!” Without giving Qin Yu time to think more, the Spring Master broached the main topic, “After taking a visit to the Temple of Classics, you have a clearer understanding of the True God’s Path now, right?”

Qin Yu cupped his hands together, “Yes. I have already investigated…” He said with some hesitation, “But for some reason, I keep feeling that something is wrong.”

The Spring Master furrowed his eyebrows, “What do you feel is wrong?”

Qin Yu honestly replied, “Wasn’t it said that cultivators who managed to cultivate nine rules of the heavens and earth before the God boundary were considered to possess excellent talent? But from the records of those cultivators who followed the True God’s Path in the past, this didn’t seem to be it.”

During these few days, he had already discovered the place where he felt something was off. Now he was waiting for the Spring Master’s explanation.

As an old fellow who had lived through three samsaras of the Saint’s Path, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say he was a living fossil. He definitely knew more than he let on.

The Spring Master nodded, “Oh. This matter is actually quite simple. Some people were afraid of losing face so they deliberately passed down records filled with both lies and truths to cover up what happened in the past.”

He looked at Qin Yu. This boy’s thoughts were sufficiently meticulous. After realizing he had stepped onto the True God’s Path, he had discovered this. He wasn’t someone who was easy to deceive.

Mm…considering this from another hand, this meant he was confident he wouldn’t be trapped in the True God’s Path.

Although it was better if Qin Yu was more confident right now, the Spring Master still felt a bit uncomfortable looking at him. Hum hum…it seemed that him using a spatial shift to pull him over wasn’t enough to shock the boy!

“When the True God’s Path was first discovered, it initially appeared in the body of a junior cultivator of incredible talent who came from a great sect. This was a newly discovered cultivation system, and it also had a rapid improvement of strength as well as an unknown yet extremely promising future prospect. As a result, at the start, many people regarded the True God’s Path as the genuine great path of cultivation, and it was used as a test to distinguish those that were great from those that were mediocre. After all, to completely perceive and control ten Laws of the heavens and earth before reaching the God boundary was extremely difficult.”

“In that era, in Holy Lands throughout the vast brightness world…of course, those Holy Lands are all different now. But in short, a group of old fellows allowed their disciples to step onto the True God’s Path in an attempt to further divine the possibilities of stepping forward from them. But you already know the result. The True God’s Path was too difficult to walk down. The most outstanding of the cultivators who decided to take this path blew up one after another, and the rest fell into depression and sorrow, ruining their lives.

“You must know that these people who were willing to step onto the True God’s Path were all absolute geniuses. They were even some of the most sparkling existences of that time. But it was because they were so incredible that they destroyed themselves on the True God’s Path. Those that survived were cultivators who weren’t too talented. The tides washed the sands away, leaving them behind. Some of them even managed to cross the Sea of Bitterness and become True Saints. That old dragon from the East Sea is one such example. Otherwise, with his talent, he never would have made it this far.”

His last sentence was filled with an almost academic contempt!

But even if he was trash in the past, he had now become the East Sea Dragon Saint. Qin Yu certainly didn’t dare to say much and just pretended that he didn’t hear it. After hearing the Spring Master’s explanation, Qin Yu finally understood. This had been a period of time where countless numbers of the most outstanding talents, geniuses that should have been shining like stars in the skies, had perished in succession. Of course it would be a grave scandal.

In particular, everyone had a share in this scandal. Whether it was for honor or dignity, joining forces to conceal the truth was the best choice.

As a result, there were these ancient texts mixed with lies and truths, full of glaring loopholes…but would anyone care? This was history, believe it or not!

After all, the so-called ancient texts could only be passed down to people with sufficient strength and background.

What was the truth of history…it was what these people wanted others to see.

Corrupt, this was truly corrupt!

At this moment, Qin Yu sighed with emotion once again. He thought that if he didn’t handle things well, then although this Ninth Mister of the Peach Garden, the infamous Dual Saint Slayer, might be renowned throughout the world right now, who knew what the future records would say about him?

It was said that men leave their names behind wherever they stay, just like how geese leave their voices behind wherever they go. To live such a life and not leave behind any traces at all would be a tragedy.

Maybe he should set up another small goal for himself? At least he should become famous enough that he would have a slightly larger section dedicated to him in the ancient texts. After all, the boundary of Ruler might be easy to talk about, but it was far too distant, so distant that Qin Yu couldn’t even see it right now.

After speaking so much, the Spring Master actually gave Qin Yu a vague lesson. Without strength or status, he would become nothing but a passerby in the annals of history.

The Spring Master’s mentality calmed down. After all, he was a solemn big boss among True Saints. He had the qualifications to write the history he wanted. Moreover, even if he was gone in the future, no one would have the courage to try and delete him. At most they would try to slander his name.

But he would definitely be engraved into it, becoming a part of the vast brightness world’s records that could not be removed.

And Qin Yu…this boy really was shrewd and had realized something. He had strength, methods, talent, luck, and was sufficiently intelligent.

The Spring Master told himself to stand firm. But this kid was right in front of him. If he didn’t grasp him fully, he couldn’t help but be a bit worried.

“The officer in charge of the Temple of Classics, have you seen her?”

Qin Yu had no idea what this question was for. He nodded earnestly.

The Spring Master said, “If you marry Peachy then I will make the decision to give her to you.”

If Qin Yu was drinking water he would have spat it back out. He thought, as a big boss amongst True Saints, should you really be saying such words so casually?

But the Spring Master’s expression was calm and his eyes were sharp and clear. He wasn’t joking around.

How could Qin Yu reply? There was no other way. He could only pretend that he didn’t hear anything.

The Spring Master furrowed his eyebrows together, coldly sneering inside. He didn’t believe that this boy could keep going on like this. There wasn’t much time left…but this was only relative to an old man who had lived through three samsaras of Saints. In fact, he knew that there would be many more opportunities in the future, so he would wait and take his time!

You are doomed to be the Peach Garden’s. You cannot hope to run away!

The Spring Master took a deep breath and steadied himself. “The True God’s Path cultivation method is different from the orthodox path. You already know the fate of those people from the past, but do you know the reason why?”

Qin Yu bowed respectfully, “I ask master to teach me!”

“The God’s path is in the end, still just the God’s path. It is like a bottle with limited capacity, so how can it contain the rivers and seas…but the True God’s Path is the way of pouring the rivers and sea inside. Both sides are diametrically opposed to each other, so the result is already determined.” The Spring Master’s voice was calm, “So while this path is extremely difficult to take, if it can be described as simple, then it really is simple. As long as the bottle can be forged large enough and strong enough so that even rivers and seas can enter it, then it will definitely lead to an unprecedented qualitative change.”

Speaking to here, the Spring Master drew a light breath, “So the True God’s Path isn’t necessarily an incorrect cultivation system. It is just that it is unimaginably difficult for someone to truly arrive at the end of it.” He looked at Qin Yu, his expression calm, “You have already stepped onto this path. Unless you choose to no longer cultivate it, waiting until you wither away in the passing of time, then your only option is to desperately grow stronger. Only by becoming stronger will you be able to hold even more rules of the heavens and earth. Otherwise, your final fate will be no different from those in the past – you will blow up. Of course, your explosion might be louder than the others.”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. He thought that if this person wasn’t the Spring Master, these words could easily receive a beating. But he was the Spring Master, so Qin Yu could only hold it in. He bowed and said, “I thank master for the guidance!”

He looked at the Spring Master with expectation. There was no situation where people talked about a problem and then stopped there. As a dignified big boss among True Saints, since he had found the crux of the issue, he of course had to give a further solution.

For instance, how to make this ‘bottle’ both larger and stronger.

The Spring Master finally felt at ease. Most of the depression he felt after seeing Qin Yu’s God mark faded away. You brat, no matter how arrogant and troublesome you are, you are still asking me for advice, right? Humph, understand the status of a True Saint!

After a little stretch, the Spring Master spoke with the indifference of a Saint. “The reason I summoned you here today is because a lucky chance has just arrived, and you will go to share a cup of the soup. If things proceed smoothly, it will be enough for you to not need to worry about the calamity of having your body explode for the time being.”
