Chapter 1777 - 1780: Du Yaowei's Discontent
The Heavenly King Hall of Zhongzhou Temple is named after the enshrinement of the four great heavenly kings who symbolize "wind, tune, rain, and harmony." The statues of the four heavenly kings are majestic and have always been a must-worship place for those who come to Zhongzhou Temple to pay homage.
And this elder holds the status of a steward in the Heavenly King Hall, so his strength is naturally extraordinary.
The steward of the Heavenly King Hall is essentially the head of the hall.
Chai Zhongtong laughed heartily, "I didn't expect the person in the third private room to be none other than Elder Xingzhi from Zhongzhou Temple. Pardon me, pardon me."
The Moon Goddess Successor said at this moment, "Zhongzhou Temple has a total of seventy generations. The current Zhongzhou Temple has passed down through the generations of De, Xing, Yong, Yan, and Heng, with Elder Xingzhi being part of the Xing generation, which means he is of the second-highest generation in the current Zhongzhou Temple, second only to the few surviving elders of the De generation."
When mentioning Zhongzhou Temple, the disdain on her face instantly disappeared, replaced with respect.
It's clear that even in her proud heart, Zhongzhou Temple is a very powerful and respectable force.
Elder Xingzhi was clearly very humble. He said in a loud voice, "Greetings to all benefactors. Benefactor Xu, if you demonstrate the Moksha Finger, this humble monk can still tell if it is authentic. Although this humble monk has not mastered the Moksha Finger, I have seen my master perform it and naturally remember. I'm curious if Master Du is willing to let this humble monk act as a judge?"
Du Yaowei snorted coldly and said, "Since Elder Xingzhi of Zhongzhou Temple has spoken, I naturally have to give Elder Xingzhi some face. So, let's have Elder Xingzhi act as the judge this time."
Everyone had ample time and did not mind the trouble. On the contrary, they all wanted to watch the spectacle.
Xu Hao said loudly, "Since everyone wants to see if I had great luck in finding the Moksha Finger, one of the seventy-two Ultimate Skills, from the 'Wind Slashing Technique,' I will demonstrate it for Elder Xingzhi to see. However, I'm afraid some people may think that I have colluded with Elder Xingzhi long ago?"
Elder Xingzhi immediately said coldly, "Please rest assured, Benefactor Xu. If anyone doubts even this humble monk's discernment in such matters, I have reason to believe whether he truly knows the Moksha Finger, or perhaps he or someone from his family has previously learned it. Otherwise, why would an outsider recognize the Moksha Finger better than this humble monk?"
Elder Xingzhi's words instantly killed any possibility of Du Yaowei's trickery in its cradle.
"Very well, since Elder Xingzhi is so confident, I shall give a demonstration. I humbly ask Elder Xingzhi to guide me!"
Xu Hao said this and then raised his hand to perform the Moksha Finger that he had just learned.
He didn't exert his full strength and only used thirty percent of his power.
Yet, even so, Xu Hao's strength combined with the incredibly powerful Moksha Finger technique still created a tremendous sense of pressure on everyone present.
Above the seventh private room, an illusory finger as large as a great bell suddenly appeared, slowly pressing down on everyone.
All experts below the grandmaster level felt as if they were being targeted by the open mouth of a giant abyssal beast, so scared that they couldn't move.
Even grandmaster-level experts had to channel their internal energy to resist, as the powerful sense of pressure was suffocating for them.
But this wasn't the most fearsome part. The dark whirlpool surrounding the illusory finger was the most frightening thing; even a sturdy house was threatened to sway by the whirlpool surrounding this finger.
Elder Xingzhi immediately declared a Buddhist verse, "Amitabha, well done, well done. Benefactor Xu's aptitude is indeed extraordinary. To have mastered this profound Moksha Finger in such a short time is truly impressive! Impressive!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone understood that this was indeed the true Moksha Finger.
Xu Hao immediately withdrew his Qi force, and the illusory finger vanished. He then said to Du Yaowei, "Young Master Du, what do you think of this Moksha Finger?"
Du Yaowei was extremely shocked at this moment. He never expected that Xu Hao would truly acquire the Moksha Finger and even practice it successfully in such a short time.
But why does Xu Hao have such good luck?
He was unconvinced!
Du Yaowei suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted, "I seriously doubt that your so-called stroke of luck in obtaining the Moksha Finger inheritance is fake. Perhaps you had obtained the Moksha Finger inheritance long ago and used this opportunity to show it off."
"This kid is smart; he's had an epiphany?" The Moon Goddess Successor immediately chuckled softly.
Xu Hao shook his head slightly. Du Yaowei is truly like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, yet he remained calm and said casually, "Du Yaowei, do you still want to argue? I indeed discovered the Moksha Finger's inheritance here in the 'Wind Slashing Technique' secret book. Are you saying this because you're jealous of me?"
"Jealous of you? In your dreams! I am the dignified eldest young master of the Zhongzhou Du Family. How could I possibly be jealous of a mere loose cultivator like you?" Du Yaowei said disdainfully.
