Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

"Grandpa, the invitation to the Luotian Grand Ceremony of Tianshi Mansion has arrived." Lu Linglong's eyes flashed with anticipation. She gently took out a beautifully made envelope from her pocket and handed it to Lu Jin. "I heard that many strange people are planning to participate this time. It must be very exciting."

Lu Jin slowly took the invitation. The delicate paper and exquisite printing revealed the importance of this event.

He was not in a hurry to open it, but played with the envelope thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.

Lu Jin snorted coldly from his nose, with a disdainful look on his face, and said with a little sarcasm: "These cowardly rats who only dare to play tricks behind the scenes, if they are really capable, they should challenge Tianshi Mansion head-on to see how much weight they have."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the invitation on the table beside him. In his eyes, the seemingly important letter did not seem to be worth too much attention.

Regarding the Luotian Grand Ceremony to be held in Tianshi Mansion, Lu Jin also received some inside information.

Originally, this was an internal selection of the Tianshi Mansion, but there were always some people with ill intentions who coveted the source of the Qi body of the Eight Wonders. They used various upper-level relationships to put pressure on the Tianshi Mansion, forcing it to relax the conditions for participating in the Luotian Dajiao.

The reason why these forces in the alien world did this was nothing more than not wanting Zhang Chulan to enter Longhu Mountain.

They attempted to weaken Zhang Chulan's competitiveness in the Luotian Dajiao by holding the so-called "national talent show", thereby reducing his chances of winning.

In Lu Jin's view, this method was nothing more than some tricks that were not up to standard.

In the eyes of these forces, as long as Zhang Chulan failed to enter the Tianshi Mansion, they would have countless means to deal with this young man with no background.

They knew very well that an alien without a backer was destined to become the target of public criticism in this world of aliens where the strong prey on the weak.

Looking back in the past, wasn't Feng Zhenghao of the Tianxia Association also oppressed and bullied before his rise?

Feng Zhenghao's ancestor Feng Tianyang, who mastered the art of spirit-binding and general-dispatching, was ultimately unable to protect this unique skill and was forced to hand it over to Wang Ai of the Wang family.

What a cruel and realistic example this is. It is like a mirror, reflecting the difficult situation Zhang Chulan is facing at the moment.

If Zhang Chulan does not perform well in the upcoming Luotian Dajiao, or fails to join the Tianshi Mansion as he wishes, then a greedy wolf like Wang Ai will definitely pounce on him without hesitation, trying to take the source of Qi, one of the eight unique skills, for himself.

For these people, mastering one more of the eight unique skills means having more capital to gain a foothold in this cruel world.

Lu Jin has no intention of sitting back and watching. He is as clear as a mirror, and he can see through the wishful thinking and sinister intentions of those old ghosts.

Since the other party wants to muddy the water, don't blame him, Lu Jin, for getting involved.

"Linglong," Lu Jin pondered for a moment and finally spoke, "Please inform the company for me and tell them that I plan to hold a meeting of the ten masters in Longhu Mountain." He decided to take this opportunity to kick off the upcoming drama.

"Okay, Grandpa." Lu Linglong responded and immediately took out his phone to notify the relevant personnel of the company.

"Xiao Lin, come with me to Longhu Mountain. You have been studying abroad and may not know much about the situation in China. This is a good opportunity."

"Okay, Uncle."

In the grand hall of the Wang family, Wang Ai had a sinister look on his face. He slammed the cane in his hand heavily on the ground, and the dull sound echoed in the hall, as if telling his dissatisfaction.

"It seems that old man Lu Jin is also planning to join in the fun, otherwise he would not choose to hold a meeting of the ten masters at this time." Wang Ai's voice was full of displeasure and contempt.

In Wang Ai's eyes, Lu Jin was just a person who pursued false reputation.

The alien world has always been a world where the strong are king.

Only by constantly strengthening their own strength can they preserve the foundation of their family in this world.

Everything else, to Wang Ai, is just a passing cloud and not worth mentioning.

He recalled the once glorious Sanyi Sect, which was on par with the Tianshi Mansion at that time and was extremely prosperous.

But what happened in the end? The disciples of Sanyi Sect died or were disabled, leaving only Lu Jin, a lonely old man.

In Wang Ai's view, this was all because of the lack of strength of Sanyi Sect.

If Sanyi Sect had the strength of Zhang Zhiwei now, how could Quan Xing dare to offend easily?

Precisely because he saw the cruel nature of the alien world, Wang Ai was more convinced that only strong strength could protect everything he had.

Even if other forces now knew that their Wang family had mastered the unique skills of detaining spirits and sending generals, no one dared to provoke them easily.

Isn't this the fear of his strength, Wang Ai?

"Xiao San!" Wang Ai suddenly shouted.

A figure immediately flashed out from the darkness and stood in front of Wang Ai respectfully: "Master, what do you want?"

"Tell Lu Ci a message and tell him that I invite him to come to the Wang family." Wang Ai ordered in a deep voice.

Faced with Lu Jin's aggressive approach, he must discuss countermeasures with Lu Ci.

At this critical juncture, he needs the full support of his allies.

Xiao San responded and quickly executed the order.

Wang Ai continued to pace in the hall and ponder, planning the next response strategy.

He knew that this contest about Luotian Dajiao and the Eight Wonders had just begun, and he must be fully prepared.

One day later, the back mountain of Longhu Mountain was covered with dense green trees, bringing bursts of coolness to the mountain. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, the entire mountain seemed to have been washed and purified.

The bells echo in the quiet valley, and each knock seems to be able to penetrate the impatience of the soul, leading people to feel an unprecedented calm and tranquility.

At this time, Lin Yi was respectfully following Lu Jin, climbing up the ancient stone steps step by step.

In front of them, the man known as the ceiling of combat power in the "under one person" world - the old Tianshi Mansion Zhang Zhiwei, was walking slowly forward.

"Old Heavenly Master, I really admire your state of mind and cultivation." Lu Jin said with a displeased look on his face, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear being pointed at by those guys, and I would have rushed up to them. See how awesome it really is.”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the instigators behind this incident are Wang Ai and Lu Ci.

These two families have been accustomed to using this method in the past. Through various conspiracies and tricks, they have forcibly seized the skills from many strangers and made them their own.

Hearing Lu Jin's complaint, Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes slightly, and an elusive and deep smile appeared on his face.

He said calmly and indifferently: "Brother Lu Jin, it is indeed incredible for an outsider like Chu Lan to participate in the selection of the successor to the Heavenly Master. Therefore, their reaction is inevitable."

From the moment he decided to let Zhang Chulan participate in the Luotian Dajiao, Zhang Zhiwei had been fully prepared for various situations that might arise.

Zhang Zhiwei knows that this selection will inevitably stir up countless disturbances and battles. He has absolute confidence and sufficient ability to ensure Zhang Chulan's safety and guide him to the position of Heavenly Master smoothly.

"Soldiers will block it, and water will cover it." Zhang Zhiwei's smile showed a bit of cunning, "The opponent has Zhang Liang's plan, and I, Zhang Zhiwei, also have a wall ladder."

The Luotian Dajiao is a grand event in the Tianshi Mansion. If anyone dares to block Zhang Chulan's path, he will have his own means to deal with it, so there is no need for outsiders to worry about it.

Zhang Zhiwei's eyes inadvertently fell on Lin Yi, who was following silently behind him.

He felt that the young man's face was familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen him before.

Zhang Zhiwei turned around and looked at Lu Jin with a somewhat inquiring look.

Seeing this, Lu Jin smiled and said in a somewhat teasing tone: "Old Zhang, it seems you can't hold back your curiosity after all, right? I thought you could continue to hold it in."

Then, Lu Jin began to slowly introduce Lin Yi's origin: "His grandfather, you should be familiar with it, was the fourth disciple of my mentor Zuo Ruotong. I think back then, his family emigrated overseas to escape the war, and he also left Central Plains. What I didn’t expect is that he has preserved a bloodline for our Trinity Sect.”

"It turns out he is the grandson of Old Ghost Lin," Zhang Zhiwei said sincerely. "It is really a blessing to be able to meet the descendants of my old friend in my lifetime."

In this era, there are not many old friends left, so Zhang Zhiwei is naturally very pleased to see younger generations like Lin Yi.

While chatting, Lin Yi and the others had already arrived near a simple pavilion.

In the pavilion, several old men have been waiting quietly for a long time. They have tall and straight postures. Although they are old, they still exude an aura of calmness and authority.

"Old Master."

"Senior Lu Jin." As the three people arrived, the old men in the pavilion stood up to greet them, their voices full of respect and respect.

In the alien world, everything is based on strength.

As a top master, Lao Tianshi naturally became the leader of the ten men, and no one dared to have any objections to this.

Lu Jin turned around and said to Lin Yi: "Xiao Lin, please wait here for a moment. I have important matters to discuss with Master Tian and will be back soon."

When Lin Yi heard this, he nodded and responded obediently: "Okay, uncle."

After Lu Jin and Zhang Zhiwei entered, Lin Yi pushed up the monocle on his right eye, and several pieces of information appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision.

The attributes of the Ten Lords are similar, most of them are hovering around 25 points. If Lin Yi clashes with the Ten Lords now, except for Zhang Zhiwei, Lin Yi is confident that he can kill the others.

Zhang Zhiwei's attributes are so powerful that Lin Yi lost interest in fighting him at first sight. That overwhelming power seems to be an insurmountable gap.

Zhang Zhiwei's attribute value is so strong that it is unbelievable. He completely crushed all the ten masters and became a unique existence in the world of aliens.

If a melee suddenly broke out in the pavilion at this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Zhiwei can kill all the ten masters in three seconds.

The reputation of "the best" is not just a name for Zhang Zhiwei.

This title was won by him with absolute advantage in countless competitions.

Every time he made a move, it was the most powerful interpretation of this title.

Whether it is strength, speed or skill, he has reached a height that is difficult for people to reach.

Precisely because Zhang Zhiwei has such a terrifying strength, the ten masters have to consider his attitude and position when taking action.

They know that being an enemy of Zhang Zhiwei is like hitting a rock with an egg.

The gap in strength between the two sides has far exceeded the scope of comparison.

Fortunately, this is a peaceful era, and the country's laws and regulations have played a restraining role in everyone's behavior.

In such a social context, even a top master like Zhang Zhiwei must abide by the laws of the country and cannot act at will.

This also allows other forces in the alien world to maintain their independence and self-esteem to a certain extent, so as not to completely succumb to the orders of the Tianshi Mansion.

Despite this, Zhang Zhiwei's deterrence still shrouds the entire alien world, and whenever people mention him, they will unconsciously show awe.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became tense.

There seemed to be a fierce dispute between Lu Jin and a member of the Ten Lords.

Lu Jin's right hand quickly and powerfully drew talismans in the air, and each stroke was full of powerful magic power.

As the talismans were gradually completed, the clouds in the sky began to surge, and thunder rumbled, as if a storm was brewing above everyone's heads.

The raindrops in the sky began to fall sparsely, gradually wetting everyone's heads.

A strong wind suddenly blew up, and the tiles of the pavilion were blown away piece by piece under the influence of the strong wind. The people in the pavilion were soaked by the rain, and their clothes were stuck to their bodies.

Some of the weaker Ten Lords were swaying in the strong wind, and they could hardly stand firmly. They could only hold on to the pillars of the pavilion to barely keep their balance.

This scene fully demonstrated the powerful power of the talisman drawn by Lu Jin.

In this chaos, Wang Ai and Lu Ci seemed unusually calm. They sat on the fence of the pavilion, staring at Lu Jin.

Despite the raging wind, the two people's figures only swayed slightly, as if they had taken root under their feet, and were completely unaffected by the outside world.

And Zhang Zhiwei stood like a pine and cypress, and even if he did not move, the strong wind seemed to be helpless against him.

Except for the beard on his face that was slightly messy due to the wind, he looked calm and unhurried.

"We have tried our best to gather all the extraordinary people in the world to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony. In fact, everyone knows clearly that there are probably only a few who come here to inherit the position of Heavenly Master."

Lu Jin's voice echoed in the pavilion. He paused and then said, "In this case, I decided to add fuel to the fire of this conference."

He took a deep breath and announced loudly: "The winner of this Luotian Grand Ceremony can choose to give up the inheritance of the Heavenly Master if he is willing, and I will give him the Tongtian Talisman in my hand as a reward."

As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone knew clearly what Lu Jin's decision meant.

The Tongtian Talisman, as one of the Eight Wonders, has immeasurable power and value.

Now, for an unknown source of Qi body, the alien world has been undercurrent, and the appearance of the Tongtian Talisman has undoubtedly pushed this competition to a climax.

For a while, the atmosphere in the pavilion became extremely solemn.

As the talisman in Lu Jin's hand dissipated, the strong wind gradually subsided, and the dark clouds slowly dissipated, revealing a clear sky.

The pavilion was in a mess, but the tranquility at the moment was like the tranquility before the storm, foreshadowing the coming turbulent waves.

A complex emotion flashed in Lu Jin's eyes.

He rarely used the Tongtian Scroll, because every time he used it, he would be reminded of Zheng Zibu's appearance before his death, which was a past he could never let go of.

At this moment, he looked at Wang Ai and Lu Ci with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He remembered that the names of these two people were on the list of pursuers mentioned by Zheng Zibu before his death.
