Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Jin Wei, holding a small bowl of ice cream, said, "Young Master, we have collected a list of some people. These people come from extraordinary backgrounds and have powerful backers. None of them have hidden the fact that they possess the Dragon Bone Scripture."

"Among them, the most arrogant and domineering is Qin Xinsu, the second young lady of the Qin family, the Lord of Benlei City. This woman acts arrogantly and domineeringly, holding the Dragon Bone Scripture and walking on the Sword Tower Avenue. Such behavior is tantamount to provoking the heroes of the world. She is not afraid of others trying to take it. She is too arrogant."

Zhou Qingfeng sat by the window, casually plucked a peach blossom branch, and gestured like a mischievous child: "Qin Xinsu, this woman has always been so arrogant and domineering, with a strange temperament, so proud and arrogant, looking down on the world. Hehe, this seems like something she would do. And then what?"

Jin Wei said, "Qin Xinsu set up a arena and challenged all the heroes of the world alone. She declared that she would hand over the Dragon Bone Scripture to anyone of the same level who could defeat her. However, no one of her level was her match. Her mastery of the Thunder Dao was unparalleled, and all the heroes of the world bowed down. Since then, no one has dared to covet the Dragon Bone Scripture in her hands. Now she has booked the Yellow Crane Tower for a long stay, waiting to ascend to the Dragon."

Zhou Qingfeng pondered: "Hmm... A good start is better than a bad one. Qin Xinsu is interesting. Does she have a group of guards with her? Does she have any high-level protectors?"

Jin Wei said, "Yes, there are thirty-six Shi Sha guards accompanying us, and two Qin family Grand Masters are also by our side."

Zhou Qingfeng chuckled: "No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. Where are the others?"

Jin Wei said, "A princess named Huangfu Yunlan has arrived at the Mangque royal family."

"Murong Yan, the young master of the Murong family in Dade City."

"Fang Jubei, the young master of the Fang family in Jinlin City."

"Gong Zhehua, the young master of the Gong family in Nanqing City."

"The foremost Buddhist temple of great compassion, with countless monks traveling the world in this era."

"The first Jinshan Sect of Taoism, the contemporary wandering Taoist, Xuanzhen."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng smiled, then jumped out of the window, flicked his hand, and the peach blossoms fell to the ground: "What a once-in-a-millennium Dragon Ascension Competition! Heroes from all over the world have gathered at the Sword Tower. Those who should come have come, and those who shouldn't have come have come too. It's truly a lively event!"

Upon seeing this, Jin Wei hurriedly ran from the gate to the courtyard. He watched as Zhou Qingfeng twirled a peach blossom branch, the branch like a sword blade, picking up and dropping peach blossoms one by one. His movements were elegant and graceful, yet contained a strong fighting spirit, a fighting spirit that Jin Wei had not seen in a long time.

Yes, there are very few people in the world who can arouse the young master's surging fighting spirit.

When two equally matched opponents clash, it is the most exciting thing to see.

Because a truly evenly matched opponent is hard to find in this world.

Finding a worthy opponent is harder than finding a stunningly beautiful woman.

Jin Wei understood this feeling. He placed the empty bowl on the windowsill, then took out a prepared intelligence report and said, "Young Master, what I just mentioned were only some of the people I found. It's not easy to find the rest who possess the Dragon Bone Scripture."

“They are all deliberately hiding themselves and keeping a very low profile. I need more time to find them one by one.”

"In addition, regarding the Fengshen Ancient Path, I consulted ancient books and sent people to trace back thousands of years. The basic situation has been clarified. When the Void Echoing Dragon descends, a heavenly ladder will descend from the sky to guide it. Those who possess the Dragon Bone True Scripture need to climb the heavenly ladder in order to step onto the dragon's spine."

"Once they step onto the dragon's spine, the Echoing Dragon will lead the 108 scripture bearers on a journey through the Ancient Path of Conferred Gods once again. The scripture bearers will encounter all sorts of dangers and challenges on the Ancient Path of Conferred Gods. The specific dangers and challenges have never been publicly mentioned by the scripture bearers in the past."

"There are very few people who know the truth right now, and time is too short to investigate. I am incompetent and beg your forgiveness, young master."

With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Qingfeng precisely strung together the scattered peach blossoms with the branches in his palm. Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked up to Jin Wei, took the intelligence booklet that Jin Wei had prepared, flipped through it casually, and nodded.

“That’s normal. Even if someone who carried the scriptures retraced the Investiture of the Gods Ancient Road a thousand years ago and returned safely, their adventure experience on the Investiture of the Gods Ancient Road would be core intelligence. They would definitely keep it a secret and would never spread it to others. How could you find out so easily?”

Upon hearing this, Jin Wei lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your understanding, young master."

At this moment, Ye Tingxiu and Xiao Hongyun arrived together, clearly having also made some gains. Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng smiled and placed the peach blossom branch in Jin Wei's palm. He walked barefoot, carrying the intelligence booklet, towards the main hall. Halfway there, he turned back and waved: "Xiao Xiao, Ye Zi, come in and chat."

Jin Wei quickly tucked the peach blossom branch into his lower back and said, "Young Master, give me a little more time, I'm sure I can find out."

Upon entering the tea room, Zhou Qingfeng slumped into the main seat, gesturing for Xiao Ye and the other to sit down. He then tossed the intelligence booklet onto the table with a smile: "Jin Wei just gave me a report. This is the list and basic intelligence. Take a look and see if you have anything to add."

Ye Tingxiu didn't treat himself as an outsider, reaching out to pick up a chilled lychee and peeling it to eat: "You guys chat, I'll eat some lychees first."

Xiao Hongyun slapped Ye Tingxiu on the back of the head: "All you do is eat, eat, eat. You do nothing but slack off all day long."

Ye Tingxiu didn't care and continued peeling and eating lychees. Let him hit him, it didn't hurt anyway.

Xiao Hongyun grinned, realizing he was completely helpless against Ye Tingxiu. He shook his head, picked up the intelligence booklet, and after a moment, closed it, saying, "The intelligence that Ye Zi and I have gathered is similar to this. There's nothing to add to the list."

Zhou Qingfeng picked a grape and tossed it to Xiao Hongyun: "Continue."

Xiao Hongyun took the grapes and casually stuffed them into Ye Tingxiu's mouth, smiling faintly: "As for detailed information about the Fengshen Ancient Path, Ye Zi and I have asked our master, but they didn't participate. My master, the Martial God, told us not to investigate anymore, because it's impossible to find out anything."

"Because everyone who has safely returned from retracing the Fengshen Ancient Road never mentions their experiences there. It seems that their experiences have become a taboo topic, and no one talks about them afterward. Even if you ask the people involved, they are unwilling to say a word."

"Besides... spanning a thousand years, in our world, violent death is commonplace. A cultivator who can live for five hundred years is considered to have a long life. How many old monsters can live for a thousand years? These old monsters are already pitifully few. It's questionable whether those who walked the Ancient Path of Conferred Gods a thousand years ago are still alive. Even if they are alive, we can't find them. Even if we were to find them by sheer luck, we can't do anything if they don't tell us."

Ye Tingxiu swallowed the grapes and lychees and quickly chimed in, "Although the previous scripture bearers didn't say a word, there are still clues. Half of these people returned safely, while the other half remained forever on the Ancient Path of Conferred Gods. What does this prove? It proves that the risk is fifty-fifty. No matter what, with the strength of the three of us, we will always have a chance to return and obtain a lot of benefits. How can we miss this opportunity? Let's do it!"

Zhou Qingfeng smiled faintly, extended his hand and said, "No rush, let me think about it."
