Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 84: Heaven and Earth
A clean and simple room without much furnishings.
There was a calligraphy hanging on the yellowed wall, with a word written on it like the edge of a sword: "Tao".
Against the inner wall is a very tall bookcase with nine neatly arranged layers, which are tightly stuffed with books. These books seem to be quite old, just like the old desk in front of the bookcase. Even the original vermilion paint has become mottled, and traces of time can be seen everywhere.
There is a cup of hot tea on the table, with steam rising from it.
Wu Feng was concentrating on looking at the rising white smoke, as if it contained supreme morality that required one to comprehend with one's whole heart.
He was wearing a coarse robe, his face seemed carved out of weathered rock, his black hair like steel needles was scattered behind him, and even though he was carrying an ancient sword case, his body was straight.
On the other side of the white smoke was a man in a gray robe with completely white hair but a young face. He seemed to have merged into everything in the room, and was carefully flipping through a book spread out on the table.
Even though he knew this admirable old friend very well, Wu Feng sighed more than once that if this white-haired young man walked down the street, no cultivator would be able to recognize him as the Taoist master of Taiqing Xuan Dao, which ranked third among the top thirty-three sects.
There was silence for a while, and then the Taoist master carefully sorted out the book, closed it, and then raised his head with eyes like stars.
"How's the situation?" As he spoke, he took out a cup from the exquisite wooden tea set and started to make tea. He then handed the green wooden teacup filled with spiritual tea to Wufeng.
"The situation is more serious than we thought..." Wu Feng went straight to the point.
"In addition to the True Immortal who calls himself Young Master Tian, three more True Immortal forces have emerged that are currently in the dark, calling themselves Wei Wuji, Huo Mingxue, and Young Master Huan who no one has ever seen.
The Taoist master smiled and said, "I dare to bet a Yuanling Stone that Wei Wuji and Huo Mingxue both call themselves Young Masters, which is very unsophisticated."
"No gamble." Wu Feng was very decisive.
The two of them smiled.
"Tell me, how do our old friends and disciples in the cultivation world stand on the same side?"
"Young Master Tian... oh, this name is really sour to pronounce." Wu Feng complained and then continued:
"Currently, the power of Young Master Tian, who manifested first, is naturally the largest. Top cultivators including the Five Supremes and Mo Yun have joined this force. Moreover, many talented young people, such as Tang Yu, Long Xiao, Lei Xinggang, and Murong Xumu, have mostly joined this side. As for the other three True Immortal forces, Wei Wuji and Huo Mingxue are operating at a rapid speed, using various empty temptations to attract high-level cultivators. There are also rumors that a True Immortal who calls himself Young Master Huan has descended into the cultivation world."
The Taoist master's face was calm, but the teacup he held up paused in the air. He put it down again without taking a sip.
"It seems that we don't have much time to prepare." The Taoist master sighed. "The True Immortal has evil ambitions and actually wants to use our people to snatch our good fortune. Our old friends can't fail to see this, but they have been trapped in the late stage of foundation building for too long, so long that they are willing to take advantage of the True Immortal in order to cultivate the golden elixir."
The Taoist Master shook his head again: "But it doesn't matter. The earlier the True Immortals come, the weaker they will be. At least the situation in the next twenty years is still under our control."
"Because of the pressure brought by the arrival of the True Immortal, Zhou Lufeng has already closed his mind to break through the Golden Core. I don't know if we can see this old friend again in the future."
Wu Feng was not good at speaking, and when he mentioned Zhou Lufeng, there was a strange silence.
"How are the young people of our Jiusha?" The Taoist master changed the subject.
"Blood Killer" has recently targeted a person, Jing Xingchuan, who ranks seventh on the villain list, and is trying hard to attract him to join. Rumor has it that this person is less than 30 years old, but he is suspected to have cultivated the lost Sanqing Guiyuan Qi for thousands of years, and his future is limitless. "
"Coincidentally, the inheritance of the Six Paths Sword has also been revealed. The inheritor was a casual cultivator. Witnesses said that at that time, there was a dragon-blood centipede that was no less powerful than a great cultivator guarding him until the end of the inheritance. The inheritor of the Six Paths Sword had just reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation. When he obtained the inheritance, even his flying sword into the sky was shaky, but he killed a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Condensation in the small valley . Now a group of little wolf cubs called "Sword Kill" are howling every day, wanting to snatch the Six Paths Sword. And the latest news is that the inheritor of the Six Paths Sword has made it onto the list of villains, but the ranking is a bit ridiculous, just over nine thousand." Wu Feng said helplessly.
"At this moment, good and evil cannot be separated, not to mention that not all those on the villain list are villains. The Six Paths Sword is not a simple sword technique. To be able to unleash the power of the Six Paths Sword, this independent cultivator is definitely not as simple as he seems. Let's try to win him over." The Taoist master pondered.
"In addition, the plan of Daosha to secretly win over Murong Xumu has failed. I heard that this boy has gone astray and killed nearly ten foundation-building cultivators from both the good and evil paths. He has now been suppressed by Guan Qianli in Guanghan Sect."
"Oh, there is such a thing?" The Taoist master looked puzzled. "The Qinglu Miaoxin Jue of Guanghan Sect is the top-level method for cultivating the mind. Practitioners are immune to all evil. I have also seen Murong Xumu. His aptitude is better than you and me. How could he go astray?"
"From the current intelligence, it seems that he is trapped by love."
"Can such a great man also be trapped by love? Is it because of Xi Yuan from Yunding Palace, or Lu Qingxuan from Shuitianhan Sect?" The Taoist master seemed to remember something and smiled.
"He is not like you and me who focus on cultivation. When we become stupid, we realize that we can't go back to our youthful recklessness."
There are not many people in the cultivation world who can become stupid through cultivation like Xiao Wufeng, but Taoist Master is definitely one of them.
"That's you. When I was young, I was very crazy." Wu Feng found it difficult to hide his smile, because he felt that the Taoist master 's face would be very interesting when he heard the following content.
"From the look on your face, it seems like there's a trap waiting for me to fall into." The Taoist master smiled and shook his head.
Only in front of a handful of old acquaintances in the world of cultivation would the Taoist Master reveal such an ordinary human demeanor.
"It can't be that Murong Xumu has his eyes on Qi Yu, who is currently in the limelight of the Demonic Sect?" he guessed.
The Heavenly Demonic Sect is the mortal enemy of the Taiqing Xuan Sect.
"It was a casual cultivator." Wu Feng said. "It was a casual cultivator that made Murong Xumu fall in love."
"A casual cultivator?" The Taoist master was surprised. "How many people in the cultivation world are bound by sectarianism, but this boy acts according to his own will, dares to love and hate, which makes me look at him with higher regard."
"But since you like him, then bring him to Guanghan Sect. With his resources, this casual cultivator will soon be able to ascend to the top. Can this casual cultivator refuse such an opportunity?"
Wu Feng did not answer directly, and continued: "It is said that at that time, this casual cultivator was surrounded by a group of cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. Murong Xumu descended from the sky on an ice crystal phoenix and sent the casual cultivator away with a teleportation order. Then he crushed and killed twelve cultivators in the early stage of foundation building from both the good and evil sides in one blow to vent his anger on the casual cultivator. It was at that time that he became possessed."
"He can make a top-level genius like Murong Xumu fall in love and go insane, and he is also qualified to be surrounded by ten foundation-building cultivators. I am somewhat interested in this casual cultivator." The Taoist master picked up the teacup and sighed. "I'm afraid that beauty is the root of trouble."
"That casual cultivator is a man."
After Wu Feng finished speaking, he stared closely into the eyes of the Taoist master. He waited specifically for the Taoist master to raise the teacup before dropping the bombshell news, just to see if the Taoist master would spit out the spiritual tea as if he had remembered it clearly three hundred years ago.
The Taoist Master also looked back at Wufeng, his expression calm and expressionless, but he paused for a moment before taking a sip of the spiritual tea, which turned into a tiny lump in his throat before he swallowed it.
He knew Wufeng's tricks. This old friend has been so unstable for hundreds of years. "These are just..."
“Small scene.”
"That casual cultivator has another nickname, Ji Ba." Wu Feng said lightly.
puff!
The sweet and fragrant spiritual tea turned into a mist, like tiny water droplets floating, swimming, and then slowly falling in the air.
Wufeng's mouth corners raised, revealing his white teeth, and then he laughed loudly.
The Taoist master shook his head and laughed as he did so.
"Young people nowadays really know how to have fun. They are getting old."
"He dared to give such a nickname and made Murong Xumu desperate. Who knows what this casual cultivator really has..."
"Special, long." Wu Feng paused and continued.
The Taoist master laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, and his white fingers that were pointing at Wufeng were trembling.
It was as if time went back three hundred years through the slowly dissipating mist.
At that time, the Taoist master was just a dull disciple.
Wu Feng is just a madman who has not yet achieved Nirvana, but fights with others and gets bloody every day.
The two of them were talking about this or that senior sister, and that junior sister, and then they laughed without any image.
The cultivation world is huge, with good and evil fighting each other, sects killing each other, and people plotting and killing each other for resources and opportunities...
But that is also the business of the cultivation world itself.
Don't allow others to interfere.
When they were young, their predecessors supported the cultivation world, but now is their era, so they must straighten their backs, stretch out their hands, and carry the day.
