Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Chapter 1709

Everyone was stunned and incredulous.

How difficult is it to achieve enlightenment? Even a genius like Gu Dengji, who has been in seclusion for thousands of years, has only barely reached the edge of the path in terms of cultivation.

Therefore, throughout the ages, those who mastered the scriptures have all been renowned and possessed extraordinary lineages.

Now, a being has actually been born in such a barren place as Tian Shi Peak?

Moreover, it was Tian Shi Peak, a place where the scriptures had long since disappeared, the disciples had all scattered, and even the mountain gate was about to turn into wasteland.

As everyone was still in shock, a figure emerged from the endless auspicious clouds of Tian Shi Peak.

It was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing an old and simple Taoist robe. He was thin, but at this moment, he seemed to be a sage who had walked out of ancient history. He had an air of otherworldly grace and was surrounded by the true essence of the Great Dao. There was the sound of three thousand sages chanting scriptures. Wherever he walked, the Dao turned into golden lotuses. Wherever his eyes looked, the world was illuminated!

"Gu Shouzhou, Fellow Daoist Gu!"

"It really is Peak Master Gu! He has truly taken this step, creating his own scripture and possessing a path that transcends creation!"

"How did he do that...? That's amazing!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

Although I had already guessed that only Gu Shouzhou could have achieved enlightenment at Tianshi Peak, seeing it with my own eyes now is a different story.

In particular, a group of old peak masters had almost completely ignored Gu Shouzhuo's existence, treating Tianshi Peak as invisible and never paying any attention to it.

Now, Gu Shouzhou has unexpectedly risen to prominence, becoming someone they all need to look up to.

Therefore, they were filled with mixed emotions, including shock, surprise, and immense joy.

Meanwhile, Luo Changsheng, the peak master of Ancestral Spirit Peak, had completely darkened his expression.

"The one who has completed the scriptures has appeared..."

"How could this be so..."

A group of eerie beings from the Dark River were now looking at each other with grave expressions.

Amidst the attention of everyone, Gu Shouzhou, who had already achieved enlightenment, suddenly cupped his hands towards Li Lan, who was undergoing tribulation on Tianshi Peak, and actually performed a salute!

"Thank you for your guidance, young friend. I am foolish and have already made some progress. Please feel free to break through to the next level!"

He spoke solemnly.

These words shocked everyone present.

"What? He... he only became a disciple because of Li Lan's guidance?"

"How is this possible... Li Lan himself is just an Immortal, not even reaching the Supreme level, how could he possibly guide Gu Shouzhou to master the scriptures?"

"This is unreasonable!"

Everyone was incredulous, even Ren Chaofeng and the others were dumbfounded.

They all knew that Li Lan was exceptionally talented and would surely achieve great things in the future, perhaps even changing the world.

However, Li Lan has not yet fully matured; at present, he is only at the Supreme level and cannot change the overall situation.

But now that they know that Gu Shouzhou's success was all due to Li Lan's guidance, how could they not be shocked?

This completely shattered their understanding once again.

"Am I seeing things? A fully enlightened being is actually bowing and thanking Li Lan... Is this just a formality?"

"Why would someone who has achieved enlightenment be so polite? His solemnity is enough to show that his enlightenment must be inseparable from Li Lan."

"Throughout history, we have only ever seen those of lower status seeking an audience with those of higher status. Never have we ever seen such a scene, where the strongest bows down to the weak?"

Everyone was discussing it, feeling that this was completely unreasonable.

"Those who attain enlightenment are respected, but there are varying levels of attainment. The Great Dao is boundless, so how can it represent everything?"

At this moment, Gu Dengji spoke up, saying softly, "The ways of the world are divided into existence and non-existence. Among them, the way of existence is the most difficult. And within the way of existence, there are also distinctions. Small existence and large existence are absolutely different."

"The path that Young Master Li Lan has attained is an unprecedented path of existence. His forbidden world will be fully revealed in the present world without being damaged in the slightest."

"Moreover, he also planted a divine will in advance, embedding it into the forbidden world. In this way, his world will be ever-renewing, unlike the present world, where the other shore is high above, and the chaotic world also bullies the weak, the strong always get stronger, plundering the weak, and the heavens and earth become like dead soil, losing life and vitality, ultimately just a bizarre event."
