Chapter 102: The Master of the Enlightenment
Li Qingge was obviously stunned, as if surprised by Zhou Qingshan's answer.

Li Qingge's eyes were fixed on Zhou Qingshan's. He was silent for a long time, trying to find the true emotion behind his words.

After staring for a while, she finally saw the seriousness and determination in his eyes. It was not a momentary impulse, but a sincere wish from the bottom of his heart.

A smile gradually appeared on the corners of Li Qingge's mouth. Her voice was soft and sincere: "Home and country. The country is the biggest home and the home is the smallest country. Your ambition is great enough. You are just a little bit away from enlightenment."

She was not speaking nonsense.

You must know that every lord has the blessing of human destiny, and everyone is a true dragon. In other words, it takes tens of millions of lords to achieve the destiny of the human race.

Ninety percent of the heroes who established a thousand-year-old great country, the peerless kings who created the emperor of mankind for ten thousand years, and the pillars of the universe who forged supreme divine weapons, rose from humble beginnings and climbed to the top step by step from the position of lord.

"Great?" Zhou Qingshan couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly when he heard Li Qingge say this, as if he was mocking himself.

"A piece of sweet potato, just a sentence in a dream, such a small ambition is great? Mr. Li praised me so much, isn't it a bit exaggerated?"

"Respect? Why do you want to respect me? Mr. Qingshan and I have a great karmic relationship."

Li Qingge seemed to see his doubts. She shook her head slightly and continued, "Don't underestimate sweet potatoes. They can save the lives of tens of thousands of people. Their merits are immeasurable."

"Haha, there is also a sentence in Mr. Qingshan's dream, which is even more earth-shattering. Perhaps, in the future generations of our clan, every word and every story in Mr. Qingshan's dream will become the pillar of our clan to mend the cracks in the sky."

Her eyes implied a deeper meaning, but Zhou Qingshan couldn't understand it at the moment.

"How can a single word make a person a pillar of the universe?" Zhou Qingshan murmured to himself.

He knew the meaning of the term "Pillar of Heaven and Earth", which meant the pillar that supports the sky. It was comparable to the "Flame Ancestor" in human mythology and was the highest praise that humans could give to heroes.

Li Qingge continued her words with a sense of responsibility:

"The martial arts hall carries the heritage and fire of the human race. It has gone through storms and destructions with the tribe, but it has never been extinguished. Our ancestors and Taizu founded the State of Zhao and established thirty-six sects. Once the disciples of the mountain gate have achieved something, they must go down the mountain to gain experience and practice their own martial arts."

"The outstanding ones can be appointed as generals and given titles of nobility, expand the territory, and suppress foreign races. The lesser ones can serve as prime ministers and govern the country, or be the lord of a city, kill strange beasts and demons, and protect the people, or be masters of the martial arts hall, educate people and pass on the martial arts."

There was a hint of self-mockery in her voice, but also a sense of frankness:
"Qingge is ignorant and incompetent. He only learned swordsmanship in the mountains. He knows nothing about military affairs and government affairs. He cannot be a city lord or a general. He can only be a teacher in the martial arts hall of Heiyun City and occasionally kill invading aliens for his nephew. But his nephew is famous and the aliens are terrified. Qingge's sword has long been rusted. It is a shame to waste so many resources but make so little contribution to the tribe."

“And what Mr. Qingshan said in the dream will make more of the tribesmen awaken, study martial arts, forge weapons and prove their truth.” She turned her gaze to Zhou Qingshan with expectation in her eyes.

The military leaders of the world are divided into three groups.

One is the successor, who ignites the spiritual fire and inherits the spiritual weapons of his ancestors. The martial arts stops here, and the power depends on the level of the spiritual weapons. The top ones suppress the middle ones, and the medium ones suppress the lower ones. No one can resist them. Their strength is solidified, and they are called the masters of weapons, but they are actually the ones who hold the weapons.

The second is the Road Extender, who ignites the fire of spirituality, follows the path of his ancestors, and forges his own spiritual weapon. No matter how weak he is, as long as his will is high and indestructible, and his mind is infinite, he can exert the power of spiritual weapons several times and expand the spiritual weapon field. This is the first generation of weapon masters.

The third is the pioneer. The superior true skills of the human race were naturally not created by heaven and earth, but came from the enlightenment of their ancestors through battles, which made their will immortal. Later, the proud heroes wanted to compete with their ancestors, understand the true meaning, practice martial arts, open up new paths, and leave behind new heritage. This is the master of the military who has proven the truth.

Although the stories and words told by Zhou Qingshan are just a few words, they contain truths that can be regarded as the truth of life and can be used by people to embark on the path of becoming a military master.

This may even be more valuable than sweet potatoes.

If a proven military leader walks the path of a sage to the end, he can forge a supreme divine weapon; if he walks the path of a city lord and king to the end, he can forge the destiny of the human race; if he walks the path of a divine general to the end, he can leave behind a military soul with the will to suppress the great demons like the Red Flame Army.

If the gods were still alive, even the demon gods would have to retreat, for fear that the gods would gather an army of 100,000 and condense the fighting spirit of the sky to suppress them on the spot.

These three paths are the top combat power of the human race, especially the divine generals holding supreme divine weapons and supported by a hundred thousand troops. If they uphold the destiny of the human race, who among the hundreds of alien races can defeat them except the 'Gods of Destiny'?

Zhou Qingshan and the other two were shocked when they heard this.

The city lord is actually Mr. Li's nephew? !

Being so much superior to him, one can imagine how powerful he is. The three of them did not dare to take Li Qingge's humble words seriously.

At this moment, Li Qingge suddenly bowed solemnly:
"Mr. Qingshan's four sentences in my dream have greatly helped me realize the truth, but Qingge has nothing to repay me."

Seeing this, Zhou Qingshan immediately knew why Li Qingge admired him. He hurried forward to help Li Qingge up, but found that he was motionless.

"Mr. Li, why are you doing this? I just got a few words in my dream. How can I accept such a great gift from you?"

Zhou Qingshan looked to the side, and Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue understood what he meant. The three of them stepped forward and helped Li Qingge up.

The two warriors who entered the city used all their strength, but still couldn't help Li Qingge at all.

"Master Li, my husband is just a lord, and you are the chief of the martial arts hall, responsible for educating all living beings and passing on the martial arts. How can my husband accept such a great gift from you?" Mo Yanqiu said softly.

"Yes, yes, Master Li, the head of the family..." Gao Feixue also said immediately, but the words had not yet fallen.

Li Qingge raised her head, her eyes gleaming with determination:
"Of course I can bear it."

……

……

Zhou Qingshan finally accepted Li Qingge's gift. He was really afraid of Li Qingge, so he found an excuse that it was getting dark and hurriedly left with the two women. The next day, at dawn, Zhou Qingshan got up in a hurry and led the few people who were accompanying him to leave the City Lord's Mansion.

When Master Wen heard that Zhou Qingshan was about to leave, he immediately tried to persuade him to stay. His tone was full of concern:

"Recently, monsters are rampant, the rabbit tribe is moving strangely, and strange beasts are restless. Your safety in the rural spiritual realm is unpredictable. It is better for you to stay in Black Cloud City for the time being. When the city lord returns from the battle, he will definitely welcome you."

Zhou Qingshan declined the offer, as he had vowed to make Shengfeng prosperous. The Zhou family had fallen into decline because of him, and their descendants had died. This guilt weighed on his heart like a heavy stone, and he naturally wanted to make up for it with his whole life. It was also a promise to fulfill his father's unfulfilled wish.

He bowed deeply to the Lord of the Mansion, "I appreciate your kindness, but Shengfeng County needs me as its Lord, and my family is waiting for me to return. Besides, Qingshan only knows a little about farming, and is not as good as a spiritual plant master, so I am not needed for the sweet potato business."

When Master Wen saw that Zhou Qingshan was determined to leave, he sighed and asked, "Where is General Long Feng?"

"Master, please give me your orders." An Eagle Guard wearing a black dragon brocade robe responded. He seemed to walk out of the shadows and appeared silently next to Master Wen.

Mo Yanqiu and Gao Feixue, who were standing behind Zhou Qingshan, narrowed their eyes slightly and did not even notice how Long Feng appeared.

"Take the great sage to the inner city treasury and take out a piece of dragon scale black armor for self-defense. As for the other resources, the great sage will choose the treasures himself according to the great sage's highest standards." Lord Wen ordered.

"Here."

Long Feng accepted the order and bowed to Zhou Qingshan: "Great sage, please follow me."

Zhou Qingshan bowed to Master Wen again to express his gratitude.

After saying that, Zhou Qingshan, under the guidance of Long Feng, headed towards the inner city treasury.

Under the guidance of Long Feng, Zhou Qingshan and his party passed through the towering gate of the City Lord's Mansion and walked towards the magnificent hall standing under the towering ancient trees.

Along the way, warriors and military commanders cast surprised looks at them. To be more precise, they were wondering why the dignified General Long Feng was personally leading several young people of the human race, as if he was leading the way.

This General Long Feng is the personal guard of the Mansion Lord, the leader of the Flying Eagle Clan, and a leader among the Dragon Eagle Clan.

The Dragon Eagle Clan has been chosen to be the personal guards of the Black Dragon for generations. Whenever the Black Dragon Army goes out to fight, the Dragon Eagle Guards and the Red Ya Knights will fight side by side. The generals of these two clans have a status in the army that is comparable to that of the human race's generals.

Arriving at the heavily guarded city lord's hall, the high stone steps looked like a ladder to heaven. On both sides stood the Eagle Guards and Hounds-fang Warriors wearing black armor. They were like a dark forest. At first glance, their number was astonishing, and it was estimated that there were thousands of them.

These guards and warriors stood tall and straight, almost like sculptures except for the faint sounds of their breathing.

The few of them walked along the stone steps without any hesitation.

At the end of the stone steps, the huge door of the city lord's hall was closed. In front of the door stood four human generals in black armor. They were the city lord's direct guards.

"Long Feng, why don't you protect the Lord of the Mansion and bring people to the City Lord's Palace? Do you know that this is dereliction of duty?" One of the human generals fixed his eyes, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.

Facing the general's doubts, Long Feng remained calm and looked at Zhou Qingshan. He said calmly, "The Lord of the Palace has ordered that a piece of dragon scale armor be given to the Great Sage for self-defense."

"Great Sage?" The human general did not move, but looked at Zhou Qingshan with scrutiny. He did not recognize any of the four great sages of Black Cloud City. Where was this human child?

Under the gaze of the generals, Zhou Qingshan took a step forward and took out the Great Sage Token, "Generals, this Great Sage Token was granted by the Lord of the Palace."

The generals looked at it. With their warrior eyesight, they could naturally identify the authenticity of the Great Sage's Token. Feeling the black dragon soul left by the city lord in it, they looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Another great sage was born in Black Cloud City? !

The Qi was solid, but he was definitely not an incoming warrior, but just a blood coagulation warrior.

What kind of great contribution did this human child make that he could be recognized by Lord City Lord and Lord Blood Drinker?

After a moment, the general who had asked the question earlier nodded and said respectfully: "Great Sage, please follow me."

Then, he led Long Feng, Zhou Qingshan and his party through the guards and into the hall.

The hall was so huge that Zhou Qingshan couldn't see the end of it.

The treasures were displayed on both sides of the hall, including swords, spears, halberds, and square boxes of precious pills.

At every banquet, the city lord would reward the soldiers with treasures in this hall. The treasures that could be kept here were all top-grade armor and above.

However, without spiritual soldiers, such beings have a high status. Even if they command the soldiers and cause the entire clan to die in battle, the city lord will not force them.

It will be kept in the martial arts hall for worship, allowing the spiritual soldiers to select the martial arts students they like and continue the tradition.

The general led the group for a long time, and respectfully took a thumb-sized black scale from the black dragon sculpture on the pillar in the middle of the hall and handed it to Zhou Qingshan.

"Great Sage, you still have eight requests. If you need any treasures, please let me know and I will get them for you."

Zhou Qingshan was stunned, and looked down at the black scales in his hand: "Is this the Dragon Scale Black Armor?"
