Qin Cheng nodded. In that place that resembled a fairy palace, Old Man Yiqi once explained to him the relationship between the seven sacred artifacts and this world.

But that was not the first time Qin Cheng knew about the existence of the sacred artifact. Qin Cheng already knew the secret of the sacred artifact at Jiulao's place.

Coupled with Jiu Lao's resistance to the Yinjie family, his cultivation methods, and the injuries he suffered, Qin Cheng knew Jiu Lao's identity. It would definitely not be simple.

He indeed has a lot he wants to know about the three sects and eight clans, including the secrets of the hidden world.

"Senior, is your surname Chang?" Qin Cheng asked.

"Why do you ask that?"

Jiu Lao's eyes were slightly bright and interested.

"Eighty years ago, in the Tianjiao Conference Trading Company, there was a powerful outsider named Chang Feiyang. He once achieved great fame in the Taoist Sect, defeated the Holy Son in a row, and shocked the martial arts world with his physical training skills. However, this person later

But he disappeared and never appeared again." Qin Cheng said.

Regardless of age, skill, or origin, Qin Cheng suspected that Jiulao was this person.

"Do you think Chang Feiyang is me?" Jiu Lao smiled and shook his head: "Actually, your guess is not wrong. That person is my senior brother. I didn't go to the Prodigy Gala that year."

"Then where did you masters and disciples get this ancient body-refining skill? Is your master's surname Zhao?" Qin Cheng spoke again.

After he said this, the smile on Jiu Lao's face froze, and it no longer looked as casual as before.

His eyes became extremely sharp. He stared at Qin Cheng and said, "How do you know this? Someone told you about what happened eighty years ago?"

"I'm just guessing." Qin Cheng shook his head.

"The guess should be well-founded. First of all, you need to know the existence of this person, and then you need to know that he practices the ancient body-training technique." Mr. Jiu looked at Qin Cheng suspiciously.

The biggest secret that had been buried in his heart for decades was revealed by Qin Cheng in one word today, which made Jiu Lao feel like the pores all over his body stood up.

Unknowingly, this kid has touched upon the most core secret of the cultivation world.

"I once sneaked into the back mountain of Taoism and met this man."

Qin Chengdao: "The imprisoned person calls himself Zhao. He cultivates vitality skills and has amazing strength. I thought of you at that time. After all, there are too few ancient body refiners in this world."

At the same time, he saw Jiu Lao's expression suddenly shaken, and he seemed to have guessed it right.

Qin Cheng was a little shocked. The middle-aged man who was imprisoned in the dungeon at the back of the Taoist Sect turned out to be Jiu Lao's master.

But after all these years, why has Jiu Lao never thought of rescuing him? Or is there something hidden in it?

"You are really perceptive, I can relate to this."

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "If there is anything else, don't hide it, tell us together. If I can tell you, I will tell you to listen. If you can't tell, it's useless for you to ask."

"There are indeed two things I still don't understand."

Qin Cheng nodded and said: "Why are the people stationed in the back mountain of Taoist Sect always named Zhao? Zhao Zhenming was exiled, and the new Zhao Yu also had the same surname Zhao. What is their relationship with the man in the dungeon? There are still eighty years left.

What does the Zhao family of the eight major families have to do with these things?"

Qin Cheng asked the doubts that had been on his mind recently in one breath.

Some of these confusions are difficult to tell to others, and some are difficult to find answers even if they are told. Only when facing Jiu Lao can Qin Cheng ask these questions and get the real answers.

After Qin Cheng finished speaking, Jiu Lao fell into silence, and it took him a long time before he sighed.

"I thought that everything that happened eighty years ago was gone. I didn't expect that Master Zhao was still alive, and we wanted to break into the Taoist sect again. Some of them I had sworn in my Taoist heart and could not be told to anyone, but some

I can tell you."

Qin Cheng held his breath and listened intently.

He had a hunch that these things Jiu Lao said would not only reveal the confusion in his heart, but would also be extremely important for his future choices and development.

"The eight major families in the hidden world are a number that was fixed many years ago, because this world is relatively small and cannot accommodate more. It is too few and not powerful enough to protect the resources of this world. Many people think that the eight major families

Families are quite fixed. These eight families have stood proudly on the top of the mountain for hundreds of years, but this is not the case. For example, eighty years ago, there was no Dong family among the eight major families. The Zhao family was in charge of the eight families at that time."

"The imprisoned man you mentioned is indeed my master. His name is Zhao Haotian. He was a prodigy of the ancient body refiners. At that time, he dominated the eight clans. Even the masters of the three sects were in awe of him."

Qin Cheng's heart moved slightly.

Now the Dong family is the head of the eight clans, but in terms of strength, it is only similar to the core elders of the Taoist Sect.

Back then, Zhao Haotian was able to make the three sect masters bow their heads. He was indeed very powerful.

"Furthermore, Master is not as exclusive as ordinary Yinjie families in his conduct and work. He is very upright and aboveboard. As an outsider warrior, I was also accepted by him as his disciple and taught carefully. The same is true for senior brother Chang Feiyang."

Recalling this, Jiu Lao's eyes still had a touch of reverence.

"However, Master has a strong cultivation base, and his wish is also great. He wants to use the seven sacred weapons to create a new world of cultivation. At that time, there will no longer be a hidden world, and everything will be integrated."

"He even gathered three sects and eight tribes, and suggested that in this age of the end of the Dharma, when the vitality of the world and the earth is insufficient, everyone should practice vitality, abandon the practice of spiritual energy, and specialize in the energy that does not have high demand for spiritual energy, and then the strong ones can transform into vitality."

Qin Cheng took a breath of cold air.

They all abolished their cultivation and replaced it with physical training. This was simply subversive.

Jiu Lao smiled and said: "That's right, Qin Cheng, if it were you and heard this news, would you support or oppose it?"

"I don't know, but the three sects and eight tribes will definitely not agree." Qin Cheng shook his head.

Zhao Haotian's idea was so wild and unconstrained that it was so shocking.

Integrating the hidden world into the outside world, canceling the three sects and eight tribes, and allowing all people to practice cultivation. If you think about this alone, any one of them would be shocked to the point of breaking the sky.

And Zhao Haotian actually wanted to do it together. Qin Cheng had already guessed his inevitable end.

"That's right. At that time, not only the three sects and eight clans, but almost all cultivators were against it. Of course, this is from today's perspective. At least at that time, the Feng family and the Cao family were supporters of the master, and among the three sects, the Taoist sect was not even

be opposed to."

"However, as I said, these people agreed on the surface, but they had colluded together behind the scenes. In the end, the war had to break out. They suddenly launched an attack and attacked the Zhao family at the Master's birthday banquet."

Jiu Lao's face turned a little red and he looked quite excited.

"That was an earth-shattering battle. Master fought against three sect masters and five masters alone, and still managed to win. Later, he was betrayed by the Feng Cao family, and even his own brother chose to sneak attack on him, so he was defeated."

"We were also seriously injured, but it was only thanks to Master's power that we were sent away."

Qin Cheng felt a little excited when he heard that he was able to fight against the eight masters of the Hidden Realm alone and even managed to draw a tie.
