One person said: "If I make you a holy child, will you be granted godhood through the art of Gu

Instead, he nodded and followed the disciple through the quiet courtyard to a quaint and antique hall.

The old Celestial Master was sitting at a stone table enjoying tea when he saw the two enter. He stood up with a smile.

"You've arrived, Chu Lan." The old master's gaze shifted from Zhang Chu Lan to Jiang Mo, and he nodded slightly. "Young friend Jiang Mo has also arrived. Alright, let's sit down and chat."

After the three sat down, the old master personally poured tea for the two of them, then asked, "Chu Lan, you've come here, presumably to know something, right?"

Zhang Chulan took a big gulp of tea, seemingly trying to bolster his courage, and then asked directly, "Master, I want to know the truth about the Jia Shen Rebellion, and what kind of person my grandfather Zhang Huaiyi really was."

Why did he leave Longhu Mountain? Was he a traitor?

After listening, the old master glanced at Zhang Chulan, then looked at Jiang Mo. Seeing Jiang Mo nod, he then spoke.

"The Jia Shen Rebellion was a great calamity for the world of supernatural beings."

"That year, many things changed, and many people changed too."

"Your grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi, was a disciple of Longhu Mountain, and he is my pride."

The old master picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and his leisurely demeanor stirred a sense of unease deep within Zhang Chulan.

I participated in the competition because I wanted to learn about my grandfather.

But why did the old master seem oblivious to his own nervousness?

He still seems so nonchalant.

It's really worrying to see.

Fortunately, the old master didn't keep Zhang Chulan waiting for long.

"The Jia Shen Rebellion was the darkest period in the history of the supernatural world." The old master gently put down his teacup before looking at Zhang Chulan.

"That year, the Quanxing rose to power, and the world of supernatural beings suffered heavy casualties."

"So many talented people have been buried far from home, and so many families have been torn apart."

"Tian Jinzhong also injured his leg at that time. Fortunately, he met Jiang Mo, which enabled him to stand up again."

When Zhang Chulan heard the old master mention his grandfather, he couldn't help but sit up straight.

His eyes were fixed on the old master, afraid of missing a single word.

Even when their hands unconsciously clenched so tightly that their nails almost dug into the flesh of their palms, they were completely unaware of it.

"Your grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi, was once the most outstanding disciple of Longhu Mountain and the most proud successor of our master."

"He mastered the Golden Light Mantra at the age of fourteen, became proficient in Yang Five Thunder at the age of sixteen, and was able to exchange hundreds of moves with me in the martial arts arena at the age of eighteen."

"At that time, he was a rare genius, even in the entire world of supernatural beings, and in Longhu Mountain."

As the old master spoke, a hint of nostalgia and regret flashed in his eyes, and his beard trembled slightly.

"The teacher originally intended to pass on the Heavenly Master title to him, so that he could become the next Heavenly Master."

"The centuries-old heritage of Longhu Mountain should be carried forward and developed in his hands."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan felt a surge of excitement.

He never imagined that his grandfather had such an extraordinary past, which was completely different from the image of the old man in his mind.

But why did the Old Celestial Master mention the Celestial Master's Ordination?

Could it be that the old Celestial Master wanted to receive the Celestial Master's ordination because it should belong to his grandfather?

It's really possible.

After understanding the reasons and consequences of participating in the competition.

Zhang Chulan exhaled a breath of stale air.

Let's continue listening to the story of the Old Celestial Master.

"But just before the Jia Shen Rebellion broke out, he suddenly left Longhu Mountain and joined the Quanxing Sect..."

"What?" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but interrupt, standing up abruptly with disbelief in his eyes.

"My grandfather joined the Quanxing Sect? How is that possible? Didn't he always teach me to do good deeds and accumulate merit? How could he join such an evil organization?"

Jiang Mo sat quietly to the side, watching the emotionally agitated Zhang Chulan, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

This emotion is necessary; it is an indispensable part of Zhang Chulan's growth.

However, the Quanxing of that time was different from the Quanxing of today.

I originally thought the old master would know a lot.

It now seems that what the Old Celestial Master knows is probably about the same as what I know.

Perhaps I know even less than I do.

As expected, the old master shook his head, signaling Zhang Chulan to calm down: "Things are not simple."

There was a reason why your grandfather joined the Quanxing Sect.

"At that time, the leader of Quanxing used the slogan 'Breaking down the inequality in the world of superhumans' to win over many talented young people, including your grandfather."

The old master sighed, "They exploited the passion and ideals of young people, inciting them to rebel against the so-called 'shackles of the supernatural world'."

"Your grandfather was young and impetuous back then, and he was indeed dissatisfied with some of the old rules and customs of the supernatural world. In addition, the leader of Quanxing was extremely eloquent, and he was persuaded by him in just a few words."

Zhang Chulan sat down again, holding his head in his hands, feeling a wave of dizziness.

He never imagined that his grandfather would be associated with the Quanxing Sect; it was completely different from what he knew.

“Initially, your grandfather may have been attracted by the concept of Quanxing and felt that the world of the superhumans really needed to change.”

"But later, when he discovered that the true purpose of the Quanxing was to create chaos and slaughter, he began to regret it."

"And then what happened?" Zhang Chulan asked cautiously, his voice trembling slightly. "How did my grandfather..."

"At the final moment of the Jia Shen Rebellion, your grandfather made a choice," the old Celestial Master's voice grew heavy. "He betrayed the Quanxing Sect, returning to the side of the Extraordinary Realm with crucial intelligence, helping us prevent an even greater catastrophe."

The old Celestial Master stood up and paced around the room with his hands behind his back. "That night, he risked his life to return to Longhu Mountain, covered in blood, but he brought back the Quanxing's battle plan."

"It was this intelligence that allowed us to prepare in advance, thus preventing even greater casualties."

"But the price was that he became a traitor to the entire sect and was regarded as a traitor by most people in the world of the Inhumans."

"After all, he was once a member of the Quanxing and participated in some operations."

"Many people don't believe his return is genuine, thinking he's a spy sent by the Quanxing Sect."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan felt a dull pain in his chest.

"So..." Zhang Chulan frowned, trying to sort out this complicated relationship, "My grandfather is both a traitor to Longhu Mountain and a traitor to Quanxing?"

“That’s one way to put it.” The old master nodded, his expression grave. “In many people’s eyes, he is a two-faced scoundrel.”

"But in reality, he was just a young man who made a mistake and was trying to make amends."

"However, some mistakes, once made, cannot be completely erased."

"After the Jia Shen Rebellion, your grandfather chose to live in seclusion, far away from the conflicts in the world of supernatural beings."

"I originally wanted to invite him back to Longhu Mountain, but he refused, saying he carried too much on his shoulders and was unworthy to set foot in this pure land again."

As the old master spoke, his voice trembled slightly, and tears seemed to glisten in his eyes.

This is why he wanted to pass on the Heavenly Master's Pass to Zhang Chulan.
