The Heavens begin by inheriting their grandfather's cheat ability

Chapter 38 Inquiry about Longmu Island overseas

Behind Lingxiao City, on the Xuanbing bed.

After Shi Zhongyu finished practicing the Snow Mountain Heart Technique, he slowly exhaled.

Throughout the year, he devoted himself to rigorous cultivation and had very little contact with people from the sect.

Besides his master and Uncle Hua who practiced martial arts with him, he interacted most often with Granny Shi and Bai Axiu.

Recently, Master and Uncle Hua led a team down the mountain.

They were ordered by Bai Zizai to seize the Xuan Tie Token.

Shi Zhongyu wasn't very interested in the Xuan Tie Token.

He enjoys practicing martial arts.

However, recent improvements have been getting slower and slower.

Because the later stages of each martial art require a great deal of proficiency.

Name: Shi Zhongyu

Realm: Beginner (Mortal)

武学：基础剑法圆满、雪山剑法入门三式圆满、雪山派心法化境（10306/30000）、雪山磐石桩圆满、踏雪无痕化境（11750/30000）、雪山剑法七十二式化境（18650/30000）、金乌刀法化境（4050/10000）、凌霄掌入微（2074/10000）。

Ordinary martial arts, such as basic swordsmanship, can only reach the highest level of perfection.

The same applies to the snow mountain rock piles.

After his lightness skill, swordsmanship, Taoist magic, and palm techniques reached perfection, there were three more realms to master.

These three realms are the subtle, the transformative, and the divine.

To reach perfection, one only needs 1000 proficiency points, after which one can enter the realm of subtlety.

However, if he wants to break through from the Microscopic Realm to the Transcendent Realm, he needs 10000 proficiency points.

He progressed from the Transcendent Realm to the Celestial Realm, reaching a proficiency level of 30000.

Shi Zhongyu didn't feel that this martial art required a lot of proficiency, because he had only reached the pinnacle of skill in a year.

As far as he knew, even his grandmaster Bai Zizai's martial arts were only at the Transcendent Realm.

They are far from reaching the realm of celestial beings.

He estimated that the two island lords of Dragonwood Island were either at or close to the Celestial Realm.

These people face numerous obstacles in their practice if they want to break through to the next level.

But he doesn't need it.

However, his progress is too slow right now.

It's probably because his proficiency improved more slowly after he entered the realm of subtlety.

In the past, his master and uncle-master were more skilled than him, and their practice with him helped him improve his proficiency quickly.

His martial arts skills now far surpass those of his master and uncle, making it difficult for them to provide him with more proficiency.

Shi Zhongyu is now practicing his skills purely through arduous cultivation.

"Why don't we go and fight our grandmaster!"

Shi Zhongyu pondered.

In the Snow Mountain Sect, the only one who could provide him with proficiency was his grandmaster, Bai Zizai.

If Grandmaster Bai Zizai were to practice with me, my proficiency would likely improve much faster.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhongyu got off the ice bed.

He had just reached the outside of the valley when Bai Axiu came to meet him.

He noticed that Bai Axiu's eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.

"Junior sister, who bullied you?"

"Your senior brother will stand up for you and beat him up for you!"

Shi Zhongyu greatly admires the kind-hearted Bai Axiu, and he genuinely treats her as a younger sister.

So when he saw Bai Axiu's eyes redden, Shi Zhongyu naturally had to stand up for her.

"No, no!"

"It's Grandpa! He's arguing with Grandma again!"

Shi Zhongyu remained silent upon hearing this.

It's normal for an elderly couple to argue.

Bai Zizai was too arrogant and conceited, which Shi Xiaocui couldn't stand.

The two often argued.

However, every time, it would make Bai Axiu cry.

"What's the reason this time?"

"It was my grandfather. He...he injured a disciple of the sect."

Shi Zhongyu was puzzled.

"Did one of the disciples offend him?"

"No, it was he who was teaching his disciples martial arts, and then his fellow disciples ganged up on him."

Bai Axiu frowned.

"Those senior brothers and uncles were no match for him; they were all injured as soon as they went up, and he even cursed at them!"

Bai Axiu disliked her grandfather's cursing.

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhongyu chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then take me there."

"I'm going to see my grandmaster."

Bai Axiu shook her head repeatedly.

"Senior brother, you'd better not go. He might even hurt you."

"Don't worry! Our grandmaster is such an arrogant person, he wouldn't bully a child, would he?"

Bai Axiu thought about it and agreed.

"Then come with me!"

Shi Zhongyu followed Bai Axiu to the city lord's mansion.

Before anyone even went inside, they could hear arguing coming from inside.

"Bai Zizai, haven't you had enough?"

"What business is it of yours if I instruct my disciples?"

"What does it have to do with me?"

Then came a cold laugh from Granny Shi.

"Those ordinary disciples were merely making a mistake while practicing swordsmanship, and you severely punished them, striking them so hard their blood and qi surged. Is this what you call guidance? This is taking advantage of your superior martial arts to wantonly injure people!"

Bai Zizai snorted coldly.

"Those who haven't mastered their skills should be taught a lesson. How can disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect develop truly formidable skills without rigorous training?"

"Sanding isn't about grinding it to death!"

Grandma Shi's voice suddenly rose.

"You always consider yourself the best in the world, so arrogant that you look down on everyone. You beat and scold your disciples at the slightest provocation. Lingxiao City is a sect, not a place for you to show off your power!"

"I am Master Wei De, the head of the Snow Mountain Sect. I discipline my disciples. Who dares to say a word?"

"I dare to speak my mind!"

……

Outside the city lord's mansion, Bai Axiu timidly grabbed Shi Zhongyu.

"You'd better not go in! I'll go and try to persuade them!"

"Let's go together!"

After Shi Zhongyu finished speaking, he took the lead and entered the city lord's mansion.

Bai Axiu hurriedly followed.

As soon as Shi Zhongyu entered the courtyard, a gaze suddenly locked onto him.

Shi Zhongyu looked over and saw that it was his grandmaster who was in a bad mood.

"Boy, why aren't you practicing your skills on the ice bed? What are you doing here?"

Shi Xiaocui stepped forward and shielded Shi Zhongyu behind her.

"What are you doing, Bai Zi? Can't Shi Xiaozi come and see me?"

"I see that's all you're good for. You shut yourself in and act tough in front of your disciples, showing off your power to your own people? Why don't you go out and roam the martial world?"

Bai Zizai flew into a rage: "Shi Xiaocui, stop talking nonsense!"

"How do you know I'm not planning to go into the martial world? Just you wait! I won't be gone for long before I leave the Snow Mountain Sect and challenge all the major sects in the martial world!"

Shi Xiaocui sneered, "Fine, fine, then I'll wait for you, until you defeat all the Wudang and other martial arts sects!"

"If you can do that, I'll truly call you the best in the world!"

Bai Zizai was so angry that his chest heaved, and he pointed at her for a long time without being able to say a word.

Taking advantage of Bai Zizai's silence, Shi Zhongyu quickly spoke up, "Grandmaster, Granny, could you two please listen to this humble one?"

Bai Zizai snorted and stared at Shi Zhongyu sideways.

"Kid, what do you want to say?"

Granny Shi was also looking at Shi Zhongyu, wondering what he wanted to say.

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhongyu hurriedly said, "I came here today because I have a question I would like to ask our ancestor."

Shi Xiaocui's eyes darted around, but she didn't say anything.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zizai slightly raised his chin towards Shi Xiaocui before saying to Shi Zhongyu in a low voice, "Boy, whatever martial arts problems you have, this old man can give you pointers."

Shi Zhongyu quickly spoke up.

"Grandmaster, I wish to inquire about matters concerning the martial world. I have heard that there is a mysterious force within our martial world!"

"Every so often, a mysterious figure appears, either wiping out entire families or capturing the leaders of various sects!"

"Does Grandmaster know about this force?"

Bai Zizai's expression changed.
