The old Taoist Wuwei chuckled: "When it comes to the art of divination, my Taoist sect is the originator. Even that bald monk Kongjian knows it. I naturally know a little bit as well, but I have only learned a little bit. I can deduce that the world-ending crisis is related to you. I know nothing else."
Fang Xiu thought to himself, "As expected. Even if a sixth-level expert faces a powerful enemy, he wouldn't surrender without a fight. It turns out that when I threatened the Buddhist sect last time, the old Daoist Wuwei had already sensed it."
"You previously said that your sect would never aid and abet evil, but now you are willing to help a world-destroying culprit. It's hard for me to believe that you are truly surrendering."
The old Taoist priest immediately became solemn and said, “Captain Fang, do not underestimate yourself. I will not allow you to say such a thing about yourself. You are not the world-destroying culprit, but clearly the savior of the world!”
You, who could have destroyed the world, did not. Isn't that tantamount to saving the world? Even the Heavenly Venerable Wuliang would smile and praise us for doing so, knowing that our Daoist sect is fortunate to have such a savior by our side!
Fang Xiu fell silent again. After a moment, he said, "You are indeed a little better than Kong Jian."
"The captain is too kind," the old Taoist priest Wuwei said readily.
The existence of the old Taoist priest Wuwei refreshed Fang Xiu's view of the strong people of the previous era. It seems that sometimes the older you get, the more rigid you become. Sometimes you can become more flexible, even excessively flexible.
The Taoist sect truly went with the flow, knowing that things were impossible to accomplish, and refused to do any more useless work. Instead, they went with the flow and started talking about compensation.
Most importantly, Wuwei Laodao was concerned with both appearance and substance. On the outside, he was a leader of the Taoist sect who was neither humble nor arrogant when facing the Taotie army and Buddhist powerhouses. On the inside, he was a good subordinate who flattered his superiors and sought personal gain.
Faced with such a person, Fang Xiu was too lazy to waste words with him and directly asked the question he wanted to know.
Have you met Zhou Qingfeng?
The old Taoist priest, who had previously been all smiles and flattery, became unusually serious: "I've heard of him, but I've never seen him."
"What have you heard of?"
“Zhou Qingfeng was the strongest person of the previous era. His strength has long surpassed the scope of a sixth-level Spirit Master. Even though I have now become a sixth-level expert, I am afraid I would not be able to defeat such a person even in one move.”
"The difference between the six orders is so huge?"
The old Taoist shook his head: "It's not that the gap between the six ranks is large, but that the gap between people is too large. Others at the sixth rank can control sixth-rank monsters, but he can control seventh-rank monsters. Moreover, the seventh-rank forbidden monsters he controls are among the best of the seventh rank."
How powerful is the Forbidden Ghost? Its ability to seal spatial nodes is a testament to its strength, suggesting that Zhou Qingfeng's power has long surpassed human imagination.
"His ability to defeat and control such a powerful forbidden demon—such strength is beyond doubt. Even if there were no seventh-tier experts in the world, I have no doubt that Zhou Qingfeng, at the sixth tier, could defeat a seventh-tier one."
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. He had once suspected that Zhou Qingfeng was at the seventh or even eighth level, but he never thought that Zhou Qingfeng was only at the sixth level. Now, this fact has been confirmed by Daoist Wuwei once again.
In this way, Zhou Qingfeng is even more terrifying. He is at the sixth level, which is more terrifying than if he were at the seventh or eighth level. A person at the sixth level can do things that even a seventh-level expert would find difficult to do. What would happen if he were at the seventh level?
The most terrifying kind of powerful person is one who cannot be judged by conventional standards. Looking at their realm is completely useless; the upper limit of their realm is not their limit.
Zhou Qingfeng, who was once at the sixth rank, has now reached the seventh rank after dying once on the other side.
The first to fifth stages are transformations of the mind, while the sixth stage is about mastering the supernatural and uniting the spirit and body to become a spiritual body. So what is the seventh stage?
After a moment's thought, Fang Xiu continued, "What is his ability?"
“Destiny!” the old Taoist priest said solemnly, “The most powerful ability in this world is one that seems to have no ability at all, yet seems to possess all abilities.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu frowned: "Isn't he also known as a prophet? Is he a dual-ability user, able to foresee the future, or does he have an ancient inheritance like you, able to deduce the secrets of heaven?"
"A prophet?" A look of confusion flashed in the old Taoist's eyes. "What prophet?"
Fang Xiu's eyes narrowed instantly: "You don't know that Zhou Qingfeng's title is Prophet? He claims to be able to see the future."
The old Taoist priest was slightly puzzled, his brows furrowed as he pondered for a moment, but ultimately he came up empty-handed. He shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this before. Perhaps there is indeed such a title as 'Prophet,' or perhaps I have simply forgotten. Captain Fang, where did you hear this from, Captain Fang?"
Wuwei called out twice, but Fang Xiu did not answer. Instead, he frowned and pondered deeply, his deep eyes becoming unusually eerie, like the gates of hell.
Kongjian said that Zhou Qingfeng's title was Prophet, while Wuwei said he had never heard of the title Prophet. Both of them were from the previous era. Although Kongjian was older, Zhou Qingfeng was a sensational figure of his time and was a household name.
The information about this type of person will not differ too much.
But the title of prophet, so crucial, was spoken of in completely different ways by the two men!
This isn't some common title like "Bloody Hands Butcher." Predicting the future is a remarkable ability in any era, just like how countless business owners in a technological society still seek fortune telling and divination.
What could have caused the two to give completely different information?
Fang Xiu carefully recalled the scene of his conversation with the two, pondering each word and sentence.
Finally! He discovered the difference. The only difference between the two was that one of them had met Zhou Qingfeng before, while the other had not!
Kongjian said that he might have seen her when he was a child, but because he was still an infant, he had no memory of her.
Wuwei, on the other hand, was born entirely after Zhou Qingfeng entered the Other Shore.
One was born before Zhou Qingfeng entered the Other Shore, and the other was born afterward; this is the biggest difference between the two.
Could this be Zhou Qingfeng's method? A method that can influence those who have met him?
Was Wuwei unaffected because he had never met Zhou Qingfeng?
Suddenly, Fang Xiu remembered a detail: when he asked Kong Jian, Kong Jian did not say that Zhou Qingfeng was a prophet at first. Instead, it was a while before he suddenly thought of the title of prophet!
Why would a sixth-tier powerhouse, whose human body has long since transformed into a spiritual entity, have such a poor memory? I am only a fourth-tier powerhouse, yet I have already achieved the level of photographic memory.
Moreover, there's no reason for someone to forget such an important title as prophet.
According to the inertia of memory, you may forget the names of your elementary school classmates, but you will never forget their nicknames.
