Chapter 132: Small Hidden

"Grandpa, that means you can also do this?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Of course I can do this, but I don't want to do it because it will consume my energy and spirit stones."

"So I don't want to do this. But I can make you avoid the detection of the 'Clairvoyance'. I have already placed corresponding marks on you. When you walk in the world, when the 'Clairvoyance' detects you, you can be invisible. The 'Clairvoyance' cannot detect you."

"If you stare at other ferocious beasts, they will feel a certain degree of pressure and will retreat. In this way, you will not easily expose your whereabouts." said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, is there anyone who can truly become invisible?" Lu Cheng asked.

"I don't know about this either. A true immortal should be able to do this, but immortals are not allowed to appear in the world, so you don't have to worry about this." said the white-bearded old man.

"Oh, if only we could become invisible!" Lu Cheng still felt a little regretful.

"Don't think about those unrealistic things. Can't we do anything without being invisible?" said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, we don't have any other intentions, we just think it would be nice if we could become invisible." Lu Cheng replied.

"It's very difficult to be invisible, so don't even think about it. Even the masters of the Heaven Realm can't do it. But the people of the Heaven Realm have another ability, which is to create some clones."

"Although the strength of these clones is a little weaker, with clones, we can disperse to various places, find out some things, and leave some guarantees."

“Even if the main body is destroyed, the clone can still be upgraded to the main body, which is equivalent to having more life.” said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, I have another question. Has the Church of Light really been completely destroyed?" Lu Cheng said.

"Although the Church of Light had many masters, it seems that they were really destroyed. I didn't quite believe it at first, but I have to admit that the place where the Church of Light was located was indeed destroyed."

"This is enough to prove that the Supreme One's ability is extremely powerful. The Church of Light also had several masters at the peak ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, but they were still destroyed." said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, why didn't the Lingyun Sect survive?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Our ancestors also stayed in Lingyun Sect. At that time, Supreme Master Qiao was also in Lingyun Sect. At that time, Lingyun Sect could be said to be the most powerful sect at that time."

"Later, when Supreme Qiao ascended to heaven, he took many masters with him. For example, the then sect leader and several elders, including our ancestor."

"For quite a long time after that, Lingyun Sect was still the most powerful sect, but it seemed that it was destroyed silently just like the Bright Sect. As for who destroyed it, no one knows."

“But before that, our ancestors had already built this city in the sky. We moved here instead of staying in Lingyun Sect, so we avoided that disaster.” said the white-bearded old man.

"Did our ancestors already calculate all this?" Lu Cheng asked.

“That’s not the case. My ancestor didn’t have that ability either. It’s just that my ancestor was about to ascend to heaven with Supreme Qiao at that time.”

"He thought about it and thought that when he was not there, there might be some disputes in the party in the future. He felt uneasy and thought that he still needed to leave a more reliable home for his children. So he asked someone to build this city in the sky. Unexpectedly, this move was the right one." said the white-bearded old man.

"Our ancestors were indeed far-sighted." Lu Cheng replied.

"You can't feel truly safe anywhere except at home. Your home is your true haven!"

"Others are unreliable! Our generations have been living in this castle. Although it is a bit lonely, it is safe." said the white-bearded old man.

"There should be many secret places like ours, right?" Lu Cheng asked.

"There should be many. People always think that those who are in the dynasty have the best future, but in fact, most of the truly knowledgeable people choose to live in the secret realm."

"The secret realm is a paradise, away from the world. But this secret realm is something that ordinary people cannot reach. These secret realms require huge amounts of resources to build, and they also require huge amounts of resources to operate."

“So it can’t be truly popularized. Ordinary people can only dream of it but cannot achieve it. They are powerless.” said the white-bearded old man.

"Living in a secret realm is relatively safe, but it does not bring you any reputation in the world. It is not the best choice for those who want to do great things," said Lu Cheng.

"What is more important than saving your own life?" asked the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa is right. We will remember it." Lu Cheng couldn't refute his grandfather, so he had to reply like this.

"It is said that the great hermits hide in the city, and the small hermits hide in the mountains. We are like small hermits. Of course, you can also enter the world, and I have no objection."

"But I won't allow you to reveal our large base to others and bring huge troubles to other tribesmen."

"It's right for people to want to be famous. But for the safety of our tribe members, I require all of you to keep this in mind. The interests of our tribe members come first, as do their lives," said the white-bearded old man.

"We have everything here. If we are short of something, we can always go out and exchange it with the outside world. We have many things that are rare in the world, such as spiritual fruits, spiritual fish, spiritual rice and so on."

"In addition, there are many medicinal herbs that are rare in the world. If we take out some and exchange them with others, we can get what we need."

"We have no worries about food and clothing. The decline of sects like the Bright Church and the Lingyun Sect is a mirror for us. We must not perish silently because of the pursuit of fame and fortune." said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa's teaching is right! We will remember it." Several men in black responded in unison.

"When you reach the age of marriage, I will naturally let you go, but you must also be more discerning and only choose those with good character as your partners."

"Only in this way can we prevent our family from facing danger. This is what our generations have been doing," said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, we all listen to you. We will never do anything to make you unhappy, nor will we put our people in danger." Several men in black said in unison.

"I'm not just asking this of you, I'm asking this of all my tribesmen," said the white-bearded old man.

"Grandpa, our ancestor is the one who is responsible for deifying the gods, right?" Lu Cheng said.

"Yes, that's right. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you." said the white-bearded old man.

"But what I want to tell you is not the story of the ancestor who was deified. Because everyone already knows those things, so there is no need for me to repeat them."

"What I want to talk about is our ancestor who is the elder in Lingyun Sect." The white-bearded old man continued.

"Grandpa, you have to tell us more. We have rarely heard about this ancestor." Lu Cheng replied.

"I didn't say much before because our ancestor's experience was a bit bumpy. It was not all smooth sailing. Instead, he encountered many twists and turns." said the white-bearded old man.

"Our ancestor's name is Lu Panyu. Maybe the name is a bit unlucky, because our ancestor had a very rough first half of his life." The white-bearded old man continued.

"The ancestor himself was quite smart. He could basically learn martial arts quickly and master them in a short time."

"But when the ancestor was still a teenager, the family began to decline, and he had to move away from his hometown and move to another place."

"Later, my ancestor met his first grandmother, Yang Chunhua. She was not a picky person, but a very traditional woman. She followed him in running the household."

"On weekdays, my grandmother was in charge of the housework, while my ancestors went out to find some work to earn some money to supplement the family income. Their life was simple but happy." The white-bearded old man continued.
