“Junior Sister, aren’t you going to take a look?”
Outside the Tai Xu Divine Hall, Xuanyang looked at his Junior Sister Jianzhu with a smile.
Jianzhu’s expression was a bit awkward, and she said, “If you want to go, you go. Why would I go?”
Xuanyang said, “That’s a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique!”
“Scram!” Jianzhu’s face turned red, and she said, “When we Cultivate to the Golden Core, how can we Break through the Golden Core and Form a Nascent Soul just by indulging in pleasure with others every day?”
“Even if such a Cultivation Technique surpasses the Heaven Rank, if it were placed before me, I wouldn’t even spare it a glance!”
“Hmph…”
After speaking, Jianzhu directly stepped into the Void Realm, and her figure disappeared two breaths later.
“Several Junior Brothers, I have a thick skin. I’m going to take a look. If I find it, this Old Man will walk the Dao of Dual Cultivation from now on!”
An Old Man with white hair and beard shot into the sky, his figure instantly becoming as small as a bean, getting smaller and smaller until he disappeared.
Another person also flew out.
At the entrance of the Tai Xu Great Hall, only Xuanyang, Chongyang, and Elder Hong remained.
“Let’s go!” Elder Hong looked at Xuanyang and Chongyang and said, “Are you two not planning to search for that Dual Cultivation Technique?”
Xuanyang and Chongyang smiled.
Elder Hong said, “That’s good. Since you’re not going, come to my place first. Let’s discuss something!”
The three transformed into streaks of light and left, arriving at another mountain peak in a few breaths and entering Elder Hong’s Daoist temple.
Among the several Disciples of Tai Xu, Elder Hong ranked second; he was the Second Senior Brother.
“Second Senior Brother!” Xuanyang asked, “What’s the matter?”
Elder Hong said, “The Old Man… he might be nearing his end… According to the days, he is only a mere ten-odd years away from that thousand-year deadline!”
“Understood!” Xuanyang nodded and said, “According to Master’s age, that is indeed the case, but the lifespan of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator is not fixed. Some can live for a thousand years, some for eleven hundred years. If he’s lucky, he should still have over a hundred years!”
Elder Hong shook his head and said, “Hard to say, hard to say!”
Chongyang was a bit worried and said, “Then what should we do?”
Elder Hong said, “A few days ago, I went out and found two Qi Refinement Stage Disciples for him to choose from for Possession!”
“He didn’t even see them; he just told me to release them!”
“He, the Old Man, said that he has never done anything harmful to nature in his life, and that birth, old age, sickness, and death are the normal course of events!”
“He doesn’t want to start over again!”
The Disciples fell silent for a moment.
Chongyang suddenly said, “Then… what does it mean that he suddenly snatched my Disciple today?”
“I don’t know!” Elder Hong shook his head and said, “Perhaps… he suddenly became interested, seeing that He Pingsheng had talent?”
“That’s the only way to understand it!”
“Fourth Junior Brother, don’t complain. It’s also good for this Disciple to be taught by Master, better than being under your Disciple!”
Chongyang said, “That’s true, but it’s a bit hard for me to accept that my grand-Disciple suddenly became my Junior Brother!”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now!” Elder Hong said, “Master is unwilling to step forward, but if we don’t teach the Hou Family and the Beast Taming Immortal Sect a lesson, our Tai Xu Sect’s reputation and strength in the Dao Xuan Alliance will inevitably plummet. I called you two here to discuss this matter!”
“Let’s think about how to act?”
...
Inside the Tai Xu Divine Hall.
At this moment, only He Pingsheng and Taixu Old Ancestor remained.
“Come here, closer to me!”
“What are you afraid of?”
“I’m just an Old Man who’s about to die; I can’t eat you!”
Taixu Old Ancestor shrank back into the huge Time Grandmaster’s chair, extending his withered arm and waving it at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng quickly walked over.
“I heard your Senior Brother Chongyang say that you have a Five Elements Spiritual Root?” Taixu’s hoarse voice sounded again.
He Pingsheng felt a mix of emotions.
Just a moment ago, he was Grandmaster!
Now he’s become Senior Brother.
This change is truly significant.
In that case, wouldn’t my Master Yu Ning have to call me Junior Martial Uncle now?
He Pingsheng said, “Disciple has a Five Elements Spiritual Root!”
What kind of Spiritual Root someone has usually cannot be directly seen through.
Even an Old Monster at the Nascent Soul Stage cannot.
To know, a special Formation is needed for testing.
“Five Elements is good, Five Elements is good…” Taixu Old Ancestor had an envious expression: “This Old Man is thinking right now, how wonderful it would be if I could have a Five Elements Spiritual Root!”
“If that were truly the case, I wouldn’t be stuck now, would I?”
“I’m afraid I could have advanced to the Soul Transformation Realm three hundred years ago.”
He Pingsheng immediately looked curious and asked, “Old Ancestor, what layer of the Nascent Soul Stage are you currently in?”
Taixu Old Ancestor said, “Just call me Master; don’t call me Old Ancestor!”
“Uh…” He Pingsheng touched his forehead and said, “Yes… Master!”
“This Old Man is currently at the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage!”
“Don’t worry!” The withered arm reached out and patted He Pingsheng’s shoulder a few Times, and the Old Man gently said, “Even if you have an Immortal-level Magic Treasure on you, this Old Man won’t be envious!”
“These things are useless to this Old Man now!”
“Hehehe…”
He Pingsheng nodded.
If Taixu was truly at the ninth layer, then giving him anything would indeed be useless.
He’s almost dead; no matter how good a treasure you give him, it’s impossible for him to Break through from the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Soul Transformation Stage in a few decades.
After all, there are three minor Realms and one major Realm in between.
“Come, help me up!”
“See that small door behind us?”
“Let’s go out through this small door and get some sun!”
Taixu was like an ordinary Old Man without any Cultivation, and with He Pingsheng’s support, he slowly walked to the back door of the Great Hall.
Going out the back door, there was a garden behind it.
No, it should be said, it was a Lingzhi Garden.
Many Spiritual Plants were planted in this courtyard.
There were First Grade, and also Second Grade.
As for whether there were Third Grade, He Pingsheng didn’t know, because he wouldn’t recognize them even if he saw them, and couldn’t distinguish them.
Taixu Old Ancestor walked to a huge old tree!
Under the old tree was a reclining chair, and he lay on it, slowly closing his eyes and saying, “Everything in this world is one yin and one yang, one light and one dark!”
“Life is also like this!”
“Human nature is also like this!”
“Take this Spiritual Root, for example!”
With his eyes closed, the Old Ancestor said in a hoarse voice, “Why are Cultivators with these four Spiritual Roots, and Cultivators like you with Five Elements Spiritual Roots, discarded like worn-out shoes in the Early Stages of Cultivation?”
“Because in their eyes, these are low-grade Spiritual Roots!”
“Why low-grade?”
“Because the Cultivation speed is too slow, and Spiritual Qi replenishment is very difficult!”
“However, the Heavenly Dao is fair!” The Old Man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at He Pingsheng, saying, “Do you know how Cultivation above the Nascent Soul Stage is done?”
He Pingsheng shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “Disciple is struggling to Break through the Bottleneck of the Qi Refinement Stage, so I understand even less about the Cultivation methods of Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses!”
“Indeed!” Taixu said, “After a Cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, they must not only fill their Dantian, Break through physical obstacles, and accumulate spiritual power, but also make achievements in Dao Arts!”
“Before Breaking through each layer of Cultivation, one must first Break through the Dao obstacle, and then the physical obstacle!”
“Do you know what a Dao obstacle is?”
