Wang Heng responded modestly, and asked everyone present not to call him Grandpa Wang, but just call him Brother Wang instead. However, no one dared to do so. After all, Wang Heng was the son of the Immortal King, and their seniority was there, so no one dared to overstep their boundaries.

Chapter 41 Qian Kun

In the distance, seeing that Wang Heng had integrated into the banquet of the young people, Wang Mian smiled and slowly disappeared into the depths of the fairy mist. He knew that on this stage of young geniuses, Wang Heng would surely shine.

At this moment, he was going to the area where True Immortal cultivators gathered. The situation at the border had further deteriorated, and the war between the foreign lands and the ancient world was about to break out. Participating in the gathering of True Immortal cultivators might be able to exchange some useful information.

On the jade table, Wang Heng had a smile on his face and talked naturally with the young boys and girls around him. The topics they talked about covered a wide range, including the cultivation issues in the realm of Tao, the situation in the ancient world, the rules of the Tao and so on.

Fortunately, Wang Heng had made sufficient preparations in advance and caught up with his peers, otherwise, he would have known nothing when asked, which was not at all what the son of the Immortal King should have.

"Meet Wang Zu."

At this time, the young geniuses surrounding Wang Heng automatically dispersed and made way. Several young men with extraordinary demeanor strolled over. They had calm faces and smiles in their eyes, and they saluted Wang Heng from a distance.

Like everyone else present, they treated Wang Heng as their elder and respected him as a junior.

Wang Heng's eyes flickered and he nodded. He had already noticed this unusual small group. Every living being in it was much stronger than the descendants of the True Immortal family surrounding him. They had extremely deep background and were fundamentally different from other people.

There is no need to think too much, these young boys and girls must come from a force that is more terrifying than the True Immortal Family.

The ancient immortal law pays great attention to inheritance. In a starting area like the seed realm, creatures with strong backgrounds have too great an advantage, like a brilliant sun across the sky, unstoppable.

Even if there are counterattacks among peers, they will have to wait until the middle and late stages to slowly catch up.

Therefore, the strongest geniuses in the realm of Tao are basically beings with extraordinary backgrounds.

"Wang Heng greets all of you fellow Taoists. In fact, we are of the same age. On the path of cultivation, the one who is more accomplished comes first. Since we are cultivators of the same level, why am I called 'Ancestor Wang'? You should just call me Fellow Taoist Wang, or Brother Wang." He shook his head and smiled.

He is just a young boy now, and it feels a bit awkward for a group of peers to call him "Zu".

"I dare not. Wang Zugui is the biological son of the Immortal King. We are of the same generation as you. Wouldn't that make us suspect that we want to compete with the Immortal King for glory? We would never dare to do such a thing."

The young man in Taoist robes laughed heartily and said this. His temperament was really special, with a kind of carefree and unrestrained manner that seemed detached from this world.

The young man in golden armor next to him also agreed, unwilling to change the name.

Wang Heng had no choice but to give up when he saw these extraordinary creatures walking towards him. He immediately picked up his teacup and stood up to greet them.

Several people introduced themselves one after another without any prior arrangement.

"Qian Kun Sect, Li Dao Ge, greets Wang Zu."

"Shi Clan, Shi Jintian, greets Wang Zu."

"I am Feng Qin from the True Phoenix Clan. I greet my ancestor."

"I am Yu Chengzun, the Nine Nether Beast Clan, and I greet my ancestor."

There are four creatures in total, and all of them have extraordinary origins. Some are descendants of the sect founded by the Immortal King, and some are descendants of the Immortal King's family. Even if the ancestors of the last one, Yu Chengzun, have never truly broken into the Immortal King realm, they can still rely on secret techniques to exert the combat power of the Immortal King level.

Wang Heng responded to them one by one and mingled with them. He was sincerely communicating the Tao with them and was not just being perfunctory or doing superficial work.

He had already used his extremely powerful spiritual power to sense these creatures' attitudes towards him, as well as the sincerity in their words and expressions.

Although they came from powerful forces and were the strongest elites of a sect or a clan, there was no one who was arrogant, and no one looked down on anyone. Everyone was very humble, and it was a very rare atmosphere.

As for the last three people, Wang Heng was able to guess their identities and origins based on the information he obtained in the Perfect World.

Shi Jintian is most likely a descendant of the Shi clan, one of the seven kings of the border. In the middle of the ancient era of immortals, the immortal king of this clan had not yet fallen, and it was at the peak of its power. Naturally, its descendants could enjoy unparalleled resources and training.

Feng Qin, as has been made very clear, is from the True Phoenix clan and is a descendant of the True Phoenix who was ranked among the ten evil spirits in later generations.

Yu Chengzun is the same as him. His ancestor was a Nine Nether Beast who had not reached the realm of Immortal King. He was also ranked among the Ten Evils in later generations and was very famous.

As for Li Daoge, he came from the Qiankun Sect, which Wang Heng had never heard of, which puzzled him for a long time.

After a conversation, Wang Heng realized how extraordinary and terrifying the power behind Li Daoge was.

It turns out that the Qiankun Sect was founded by an Immortal King, who was known as the Qiankun Immortal King. His famous ancient artifact was a Qiankun bag, which was said to be able to swallow up the heavens and the earth, the universe, the ancient world, etc. It was extremely terrifying.

There are many great figures who came out of this sect, and they all made a great name for themselves in the primitive ancient world. For example, the Great Red Lord of Heaven and the Qingwei Lord of Heaven were once known as the two greatest of the universe. They shone on the younger generation of the ancient world like the sun and the moon, and no one could match them.

They were invincible all the way and rose rapidly to the top, making the name of Qiankun Sect resound throughout the primitive ancient world. Until now, the sect's reputation is still mighty.

After learning this, Wang Heng's eyes couldn't help but become more serious.

The Great Red Lord of Heaven and the Qingwei Lord of Heaven are both supreme figures in the ancient world. They rank very high among the thirty-three Lords of Heaven in the original ancient world. They are very powerful and are also a pair of brothers. Their existence makes the Qiankun Sect more famous.

Li Daoge comes from such a sect, so his background and strength are naturally extraordinary.

Wang Heng and the four geniuses took their seats one by one, each holding a cup of tea brewed with the ancient tea of ​​enlightenment. They clinked glasses with each other and signaled to each other. At the same time, they also clinked glasses with the descendants of the true immortals around them, never ignoring them.

As the tea went down his throat, a strong scent of enlightenment spread out, lingering among the young geniuses and bringing the atmosphere here into the realm of the Great Dao.

Everyone clinked glasses and expressed their views and understandings of the Tao. They communicated with each other and had active discussions. In addition to humbly asking for advice and solving problems, they sometimes gave others advice and useful suggestions.

For a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious, the guests were having a great time, everyone had a smile on their face, and they were chatting and laughing, having a great time.

However, relying on his powerful spiritual power, Wang Heng sensed a few creatures with ulterior motives, just like a few rat shits spoiling the whole pot of broth.

This is something that cannot be avoided. It is impossible for all cultivators to have the state of mind that a cultivator should have. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. It is already very good to have such an atmosphere now.

Thinking of the chaotic ancient times described in Perfect World, this place can simply be called a fairyland.

Many living beings have the strength of immortals, but lack the detachment and peace that an immortal should have. Instead, they are filled with murderous intent and indifferent to all living beings.

Chapter 42 Discussion

The situation was different in the ancient era of immortals. In the general trend, immortal cultivators basically had the demeanor of immortal cultivators.

Perhaps they felt that such an atmosphere would have some impact on the overall strength of the ancient world, so the Immortal Kings refined an ancient stele next to the World Tree to rank the geniuses in the world, in an attempt to increase competitiveness within the ancient world.

But this still cannot change people's ideas about cultivating immortals.

Cultivating immortals is essentially about seeking immortality and longevity. For the descendants of the Immortal King and the children of the True Immortals, longevity is really not difficult. They have no worries about their lifespan at all.

Since you are seeking the Tao, you will inevitably need fellow Taoists and companions. Instead of treating the cultivators of the same level around you as competitors and fighting with them, it is better to turn hostility into friendship and turn them into fellow Taoists on your path of cultivation.

Moreover, the ancient immortal method starts directly from the Tao, which requires a corresponding state of mind. It is said that the Tao follows nature, and those who practice Taoism should also pursue the Tao according to their heart.

In short, Wang Heng likes this kind of atmosphere. It is always good to have one less enemy and one more friend.

However, he was also alert in his heart that compared with the warlike foreign lands, the customs in the ancient world were indeed a little too gentle.

Sometimes, even if you don’t cause trouble for others, trouble will come to you.

It would be difficult for the primitive ancient world with such a gentle culture of cultivating immortals to win against the foreign land with its tough folk customs.

Of course, the most crucial factor in winning or losing lies in the high-level combat power. If the high-level combat power defeats the opponent, then the remaining hostile creatures will not pose a threat and can all be wiped out with one hand.

On the contrary, if the high-level combat power is defeated, then there is no need to fight on. No matter how many creatures follow one after another, they are not as good as a finger of the strongest.

Wang Heng sighed secretly, feeling deeply that the future would be difficult. Such an ancient world that was at peace with the world would eventually be drawn into the vortex of blood and fire.

Just as Wang Heng was thinking about it, a voice sounded and brought him back to his senses.

“As soon as Wang Zu was born, he reached the top of the stone tablet with great force. According to the people stationed under the stone tablet by our clan, Wang Zu’s name rose like the sun, surpassing all the creatures in the Zhongdao realm at an extremely fast speed and reaching the top in one fell swoop.

This to some extent illustrates Wang Zu's strength. I am not talented, but I want to exchange ideas with Wang Zu and serve as a touchstone for all the Taoist brothers." Shi Jintian spoke modestly, his golden armor sacred and brilliant.

After he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Li Daoge, Feng Qin, Yu Chengzun, and some of the True Immortal descendants with extraordinary strength.

Everyone understood his intention and responded with a smile.

How strong is Wang Heng? This is what everyone present wants to know. When a young genius with extraordinary talent finds out that he has been easily crushed by others, he is naturally shocked and confused in his heart.

Now, Shi Jintian has stepped forward to act as a touchstone, and everyone is naturally willing to see this scene.

"Brother Shi, you are still so upright." Li Daoge shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, Brother Shi has such a spirit of dedication, he is truly a role model for our generation. I just wonder if Wang Zu would be willing to give us some guidance." Yu Chengzun said with a big laugh.

Wang Heng smiled back and shook his head slightly.

"Of course there is no problem with sparring, but I am just like all of you fellow Taoists. We are all beings in the Dao realm. We haven't even fully understood the essence of the Dao, so how can we give advice?"

"Wang Zu is right. It's not about giving instructions, it's about learning from each other." Shi Jintian nodded.

"It's my fault for being rude." Yu Chengzun quickly blamed himself.

"That's great. Wang Zu and Brother Shi are going to compete. We are here to watch. This time we can feast our eyes." The immortal descendants around them smiled and looked expectant.

The first in the realm of Taoism, this is a title with great value. At the very least, the four geniuses at the scene were left behind by him.

No one would not be excited when seeing a figure like this about to take action.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Heng put down the teacup in his hand, nodded to Shi Jintian, and walked towards the venue specially prepared by the host of the banquet for the geniuses to compete.

There were no jade tables and chairs, wine glasses, tea cups, and other things there. Moreover, the space was reinforced with special forces, allowing the young geniuses to display their fists and feet.

When they arrived at the competition venue, Wang Heng and Shi Jintian appeared together, stood several feet apart, and then stopped.

"Wang Zu, please don't show mercy."

Shi Jintian clasped his fists and gave these instructions.

Wang Heng noticed the other party's seriousness, and responded by clasping his fists, his expression also becoming serious.

It seems that the other party really wants to know the gap between him and himself.

After the conversation and interactions just now, Wang Heng and these people have become friends, and they have all been sincere to each other. Now, the other party wants to know where the gap lies. Out of respect for his friends, Wang Heng will naturally not hold back.

"Okay, Fellow Daoist Shi, be careful."

Wang Heng gave a reminder.

"Don't worry, Wang Zu. After all, I am a descendant of the Immortal King."

Shi Jintian smiled, and just as he finished speaking, a brilliant golden light emanated from his whole body, and golden armor patterns appeared, as if a god had descended to the earth.

At this moment, terrifying energy and blood burst out, shaking the void.

"What a terrifying qi and blood. The Immortal King of the Stone Clan is known for his qi and blood. It is said that his qi and blood alone can flood an entire world. Brother Shi is worthy of being his descendant." A descendant of the True Immortal who was watching the battle said in surprise.

"Hey!"

Shi Jintian's fingers glowed and he lightly tapped the void. A blood-colored seed flew out, took root and sprouted in the void, emitting a strong and mysterious aura.

It grew very fast, absorbing the power of the void in large gulps, quickly turning into a tree and bearing flowers and fruits.

Not only was the tree body blood-red, but the flowers and fruits were also blood-red. Moreover, the fruit cracked open, and a huge blood-red hand reached out from it, with an imposing and terrifying aura, and rushed towards Wang Heng's arm.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Shi told me not to show mercy, but in fact you did it first." Wang Heng teased.
