As Zhou Donghuang took the book and flipped through it, Liu Pingsheng stared at him unblinkingly, his eyes filled with shock.
Even for someone like him, he had spent a few decades understanding the ancient language that was used in this book. The young man in front of him seemed to just be slightly older than twenty years of age, yet he could still somehow read the ancient language that was in the book?
In fact, from his lack of expression from start to end, he clearly had not encountered any words that he did not recognize.
Even Liu Pingsheng could only roughly grasp the meaning of whatever was written in the book; some obscure words were unknown to him because these words did not appear in any other texts in that ancient language.
“You know these words?”
When Zhou Donghuang flipped to a page again, Liu Pingsheng pointed to a row of words on the page and asked him seriously.
When Zhou Donghuang translated those words for Liu Pingsheng, this left him in a state of shock. He looked at Zhou Donghuang with a complicated gaze.
Where did this boy come from?
Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he was also able to read this ancient language?
From what it seemed, this young man had a better grasp of this ancient language than him.
Zhou Donghuang flipped through the small book quickly, reading more than two hundred pages in the blink of an eye. He confirmed that whatever Liu Pingsheng had said earlier was the truth, and he even confirmed that the “Lord of the Four Supremes” technique that he was training in was indeed an ancient Primordial Soul level technique.
In ancient times, Primordial Soul level techniques were the supreme techniques.
Furthermore, Primordial Soul level techniques that allowed one to train up to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage were scarce in those times.
“Earth actually has one of the supreme ancient techniques, “the Lord of the Four Supremes…” Looks like Earth could have flourished once many years ago. In fact, Earth could have possibly had many talented adepts.”
“Those legends from Earth could have been true,” Zhou Donghuang guessed.
“Looks like I should return to Earth in the future and take a good look around for anything that was left behind by the people of those ancient times.”
In his past life, he had not known about the supreme techniques of the ancient ages on Earth.
Now that he knew about this, he knew that he would have to search Earth well to try to discover more items… perhaps the Lord of the Four Supremes was just the tip of the iceberg among these ancient supreme techniques.
“I am grateful that you want to teach me the Divine Dharma technique that you spent centuries learning… but if I do not see any hope in this, I will not be as persistent as you, and I will just continue on to the Primordial Soul stage.”
As he returned the small book to Liu Pingsheng, Zhou Donghuang reminded him, “If you want me to perfect my Dharma Power to such an extent before I reach the Primordial Soul stage, which will affect my progress… you do not have to teach me whatever you learned.”
Now, Zhou Donghuang had made up his mind.
The technique of Divine Dharma seemed alluring, but it could also be a trap.
Hence, he had to make himself clear to Liu Pingsheng to avoid him placing all his hopes on Zhou Donghuang. This technique could also prevent him from reaching the Primordial Soul stage if he did not master it, but Zhou Donghuang did not wish to spend too long at the Dharma stage.
If he did not see any hope, he would insist on improving his level of skill and reach the Primordial Soul stage.
“Haha…”
Hearing Zhou Donghuang’s worries, Liu Pingsheng laughed and said, “This rascal, are you worried that I will be so stubborn that I will use my power to dictate your fate, to stop you from progressing to the Primordial Soul stage before you master the technique of Divine Dharma?”
“Yes.”
Zhou Donghuang nodded. He had no need to hide his thoughts. This was exactly what he had been worried about.
Liu Pingsheng was simply too powerful when compared to him. If Liu Pingsheng forced him to comply, he could not do anything to resist.
“Do not worry.”
Liu Pingsheng shook his head and smiled. “I do not wish to hang myself on a tree like you… after I teach you whatever I learned about the technique over these years, I will leave the Hengliu galaxy and continue searching for other Dharma adepts who have mastered the technique of Dharma Power Control to teach them the same thing.
“To say the truth, even towards you, I am just trying my luck, and not placing all my hopes on you to actually master this technique,” added Liu Pingsheng.
Zhou Donghuang only relaxed after hearing this. He stared at Liu Pingsheng and said seriously, “In this matter, take it as I, Zhou Donghuang, owing you a favor. I will pay you back in the future.”
Hearing these words from Zhou Donghuang, Liu Pingsheng was taken aback, then began to laugh as he said, “How interesting… but if you want to repay the favor, you will have to master the technique of Divine Dharma first.
“Otherwise, you may not be able to return this favor.”
Of course, Liu Pingsheng did not take Zhou Donghuang’s promise to heart.
It was only many years later that he realized the value of the promise that the young man had just made.
Just like that, Liu Pingsheng began his stay in the Lightning Sword Sect.
To make it more convenient for him to meet Zhou Donghuang, He Jin, the Autumn Valley Head, expanded Zhou Donghuang’s courtyard and built a new room to allow Liu Pingsheng to live there.
At the start, when Liu Pingsheng had come to look for Zhou Donghuang, He Jin had been worried about Zhou Donghuang’s safety.
Now, he was no longer worried; instead, he was overjoyed that Liu Pingsheng was staying in the Autumn Valley. In fact, he hoped that he could stay longer in the Lightning Sword Sect. For such an incredible presence to stay there and guide Zhou Donghuang was undoubtedly Zhou Donghuang’s great fortune.
Of course, the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect also hoped that Liu Pingsheng could stay indefinitely in the sect, so that he could lead the Lightning Sword Sect to become the third Transcendental Force in the Hengliu galaxy.
Furthermore, as long as Liu Pingsheng was at the Lightning Sword Sect, the two Transcendental Forces of the Hengliu galaxy, the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy, could no nothing against the Lightning Sword Sect.
Of course, this was nothing but wishful thinking on his part.
Liu Pingsheng only stayed at the Lightning Sword Sect for three months, then left.
Originally, he had intended to stay there for a few years.
However, he did not expect that this martial art talent from the Lightning Sword Sect would be able to easily grasp all that he had learned and cultivated over all those centuries. He did not need him to repeat himself to the boy at all.
Finally, before he left, Liu Pingsheng had a strong feeling that this martial art talent from the Lightning Sword Sect would really be able to master the Divine Dharma technique in the future and create history!
Since the end of ancient times, in the thousands of clans and sects in the galaxies of the universe, it was unheard of for one to perfect their Dharma Power to the extent of Divine Dharma. It was widely acknowledged that the final limit of the Dharma stage was Dharma Power Control.
“Goodbye.”
As he left, Liu Pingsheng’s greeting was short and simple.
“Farewell.”
Zhou Donghuang’s reply was equally as simple.
