Ning Fengzhi and the others had a fairly strong capacity for acceptance, especially Ning Fengzhi himself. After all, even a divine inheritance had descended from the God realm, so something like this "common knowledge" was nothing in comparison.
As for Chen Xin, he simply trusted Zhongli wholeheartedly. After all, His Majesty, the Martial God, had never lied before.
The fact that the Douluo Continent was on a planet was something Ning Fengzhi could verify as long as he became a god. Moreover, the existence of another continent could also be verified.
"The creation and application of soul tools?"
For other sects, even if they knew this information, they wouldn't pay much attention to it. But this was the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
Soul tools weren't just limited to storage soul tools; they also included attack soul tools, defense soul tools, and more.
If they could master the creation and application of soul tools, the direct members of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would have more means of self-protection and attack.
After all, as the sect master, Ning Fengzhi's thoughts and considerations were different from those of a "little girl."
In the original timeline, at the time when Ning Rongrong became a god, didn't she know about the Sun Moon Continent?
She did, but she didn't care.
After all, the Douluo Continent mainly focused on soul master cultivation, and with the support of her third brother's hidden weapons, things like soul tools were simply not important.
In the original timeline, hidden weapons shone brightly, and soul tools were largely ignored.
Even though it was well known that the soul tools from the Sun Moon Continent were special, no one thought that hidden weapons were weaker than soul tools.
After a moment, Zhongli casually waved his hand, and the amber-colored glowing sphere disappeared, and the hall returned to normal.
He had simply taken the opportunity to educate Paimon and Xiao about the knowledge of this world. As for Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, they were just along for the ride.
Ning Fengzhi seemed to remember something and glanced at Xiao. After all, this was their first meeting, and whether this person was reliable remained to be seen.
After some thought, he chose to trust Zhongli.
After all, someone Zhongli knew and "respected" couldn't possibly be unreliable, right?
Besides, this young man didn't seem like the talkative type.
"Your Majesty, the Martial God, I have a matter to consult with you about."
Because Zhongli had helped Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, their relationship wasn't as close as it once had been.
After all, favors were something that diminished with each use.
Now, there was no favor between them. At most, it was just an exchange between ordinary "friends."
They could sit together, drink tea, and share a meal.
As for other matters, Ning Fengzhi couldn't bring himself to speak, nor did he have the means to do so.
Seeing this, Chen Xin, though puzzled, didn't say much.
When Ning Fengzhi decided to visit Zhongli's residence today, Chen Xin had already been confused.
He didn't understand why Ning Fengzhi wanted to visit Zhongli's residence.
After all, the two sides hadn't interacted for a long time.
Maintaining the current state, where neither side interfered with the other and kept to their own business, was already the best outcome.
Although Chen Xin didn't understand, he didn't ask further. After all, Ning Fengzhi was the sect master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and he had his own considerations.
Xiao, on the other hand, silently sat by Zhongli's side. He wasn't concerned about these matters, nor did he have much curiosity.
Hearing this, Zhongli glanced at Ning Fengzhi without changing his expression and said, "What matter does Sect Master Ning wish to discuss?"
"Consultation is too formal, but please, speak freely!"
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Zhongli was willing to listen. He had been afraid that Zhongli wouldn't even want to hear him out.
Xiao, imitating Zhongli, picked up a teacup and began to taste the tea of the Douluo Continent.
Paimon, on the other hand, looked on with curiosity, her big eyes fixed on Ning Fengzhi.
"Your Majesty, the Martial God, have you heard of the gods?"
Ning Fengzhi spoke with a serious expression, as if he had touched upon something extraordinary, his demeanor extremely solemn.
Almost instinctively, Zhongli waved his hand and said, "I haven't heard of them."
"Pfft—"
A mouthful of tea sprayed out from Xiao's mouth, and his eye twitched, looking somewhat flustered.
Paimon rolled her eyes. Wasn't the Geo Archon's divine seat still on Zhongli?
What a way to say "I haven't heard of them."
"My apologies, that was rude."
Xiao was extremely embarrassed. The Emperor must have his reasons for saying this, right?
Paimon's mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
After a brief silence, Zhongli continued, "There are some legends of gods among the people, but as for gods themselves, I've never seen them, nor have I verified their existence."
Xiao and Paimon were speechless. Had Zhongli never looked in a mirror?
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi didn't doubt him.
As for Xiao and Paimon's reactions, though he was somewhat suspicious, he didn't ask further.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi shifted his gaze and looked at Chen Xin beside him.
"Uncle Sword, there's actually something I've been keeping from you and Uncle Bone."
"???"
Chen Xin was stunned, somewhat bewildered.
Wherever Ning Fengzhi went, either he or Gu Rong would usually follow. How could there be something that both of them were kept in the dark about?
But Ning Fengzhi's solemn expression didn't seem fake.
"Fengzhi, if you haven't said anything, there must be a reason for it."
"Some secrets are safer when fewer people know them."
Every soul master had their own secrets, and the stronger the soul master, the more this was true.
Since Ning Fengzhi hadn't proactively told them, there must be a reason for it.
Chen Xin wouldn't blame Ning Fengzhi for such a "small matter."
Besides, this was a public setting, and Ning Fengzhi was, after all, the sect master. He had to be given the proper respect.
"Thank you for understanding, Uncle Sword."
Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands in gratitude before continuing, "Actually, more than half a year ago, I received the inheritance of a god."
"Wait, what?"
Before Ning Fengzhi could finish, Chen Xin was completely dumbfounded!
Wait, what had Ning Fengzhi just said?
He had received a god's inheritance?
How could something like this be considered a small matter?
Well, this was great, truly great!
Zhongli and Paimon's expressions remained unchanged, as if they had already known about this.
As for Xiao, he looked on with curiosity.
He had received a god's inheritance?
Then why did this Sect Master Ning seem so weak?
Were the gods of this world too weak?
"This is a second-tier god. As long as I pass her trials, I can successfully inherit the god's position."
"Now, I've already completed the first trial."
At this point, Ning Fengzhi was practically glowing with pride.
This was a legendary god!
No matter how strong Zhongli was, he was still just a "Level 99" supreme expert.
Without a god's inheritance, he would likely remain stagnant at this level for life.
The purpose of his visit was simple: to cooperate with Zhongli and complete the subsequent trials.
If the cooperation went smoothly, and he successfully inherited the god's position, he was willing to help Zhongli, and even the Body Sect.
This was also the reason he had revealed this information.
As if afraid that everyone might not believe him, Ning Fengzhi directly released his martial soul.
Yellow, Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black.
