“Among the Dao Xuan Alliance, if we talk about strength, our Tai Xu Sect ranks outside the top ten, but before the fifteenth spot!”
The white-haired old man kneeling on the ground had a fierce expression, his eyes glinting red as he said, “But in the entire Dao Xuan Alliance, including the Ice Peak Immortal Sect, no one dares to touch our Tai Xu Sect in the slightest!”
“Why is that?”
“Isn’t it because Old Ancestor, you are number one in the world, unrivaled?”
“I am your Eldest Disciple!” Wuwei’s voice grew louder and louder, as if he was arguing with Taixu, saying, “I have followed you the longest, and listened to your teachings the most!”
“My Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters don’t know your terror, but I do!”
“You often say that Disciples are inherently greedy!” Wuwei raised his head, then stood up on his own, saying, “But Master, in this world, who isn’t greedy?”
“The Dao of Heaven diminishes the abundant and supplements the deficient!”
“The Dao of Man diminishes the deficient to serve the abundant!”
“We Cultivators have always gambled with Heaven for our lives, facing nine deaths for one life. If we didn’t have a greedy heart, and everyone was indifferent to fame and fortune, how would so many Nascent Soul and Golden Core Cultivators appear in this world?”
“For so many years, this Disciple has served you meticulously, and even now, you still won’t pass down this Taixu Great Xuan Scripture?”
“If you think this Disciple is dull, you can pass it to Second, Third, Fourth…”
“Now you’ve made something like this, a mere Qi Refinement Stage ant, and you expect him to maintain the peace of the Tai Xu Sect?”
As he spoke, Wuwei angrily pointed his finger at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng was startled: Holy crap, what does that have to do with me?
Taixu Old Ancestor had been watching his Eldest Disciple.
Very calm.
No anger, no disappointment, and no other emotions.
He was terrifyingly calm.
Wuwei finished speaking.
The air also became still.
After a full dozen breaths, Taixu finally spoke in a hoarse voice, “Are you finished?”
“I understand!”
“That girl Jianzhu is after my treasure, and you are after the Great Xuan Scripture!”
“This Disciple deserves to die!” Wuwei said, “This Disciple is considering the Tai Xu Sect’s prosperity for generations to come. If Master is willing to pass down the Great Xuan Scripture, this Disciple can make a Heavenly Dao oath that when my Lifespan is nearing its end, I will also pass down this Great Xuan Scripture according to Master’s method.”
Wuwei spoke humbly, but his attitude was extremely arrogant. He stood there, looking Taixu Old Ancestor in the eye.
“Now, give me this Great Xuan Scripture!” Wuwei’s eyes were filled with greedy light: “This Disciple has a thirty percent chance of advancing to Nascent Soul!”
“Father… thirty percent isn’t low!”
“Who in this world can guarantee their advancement to Nascent Soul?”
He Pingsheng was startled again: Holy crap… how did Master, Master, turn into Father again.
This guy, he couldn’t be the Old Ancestor’s biological son, could he?
Heavens, maybe it really is.
If he wasn’t his biological son, how could he be so arrogant?
Taixu Old Ancestor took a deep breath, then exhaled deeply, saying, “You can’t refine this thing!”
Wuwei immediately flew into a rage: “Didn’t you also fail to refine it, but eventually succeeded?”
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed fiercely at He Pingsheng: “The medicinal primer is here too, why can’t I refine it?”
“Father… pass it to me!”
“Will you pass it to me?”
Wuwei ran to Taixu Old Ancestor’s feet, cupping his feet with both hands, saying, “Old man, don’t worry, give this Great Xuan Scripture to me, your son, and I’ll find you another Disciple with exceptional talent for Possession!”
“Don’t you want to live another thousand years, ten thousand years?”
Taixu’s heart surged with anger. He shook his head and said, “No!”
“But I do!” Wuwei looked eager: “Your son is almost five hundred years old, and my Lifespan is also nearing its end!”
“Father, will you save me?”
The old man exerted a slight force with his leg.
With a bang, Wuwei’s huge body was directly kicked out of the entrance of the Tai Xu Divine Hall.
Rumble…
The Formation of the Tai Xu Divine Hall closed one by one.
He Pingsheng inside the room was scared stiff.
He really was.
The conversation between the father and son today contained too much information.
The kind that could scare him to death.
Holy crap… how did I become a medicinal primer?
What is this Taixu Great Xuan Scripture anyway?
Why would a father rather die than pass it to his son?
Also, he won't possess me, will he?
“Let’s go!” Taixu Old Ancestor stood up and said, “Come with me to the back!”
“Time is running out!”
He Pingsheng felt cold all over; he felt that it was he who was running out of time.
“Unreliable, unreliable!” Taixu Old Ancestor returned to the giant tree in the Lingzhi Garden, comfortably lay down on the reclining chair, closed his eyes, and said, “Little He… tell me, what future does this Tai Xu Sect have?”
“Where is the future?”
After a long time, there was no reply from He Pingsheng.
The gaunt old man turned his head, slightly opened his narrowed eyes, and said, “What are you thinking nonsense about?”
“Don’t listen to that scoundrel’s words… I’ve been around for years, if I wanted to possess someone, I would have done it long ago, it wouldn’t be your turn!”
“Yes!” He Pingsheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but there was always a knot in his heart.
“This Disciple feels!” He Pingsheng said, “I don’t know what future there is, I can’t figure it out!”
He Pingsheng wasn’t lying; he simply had never considered the problems of the entire Tai Xu Sect from such a high perspective.
It was hard enough to think about Xiuzhu Peak, and you want me to talk about the Tai Xu Sect?
He didn't understand it at all.
“Haha… you can’t figure it out, and I can’t either!” Taixu Old Ancestor said, “These people were all personally nurtured by me, and as a result, they either became ungrateful ingrates or are simply unreliable!”
“For the Tai Xu Sect to last for a long time, it still has to rely on you Disciples!”
“Leave these matters for you all to worry about, I’m not bothering with them anymore!”
“You look worried?” Taixu said, “What are you thinking?”
He Pingsheng cupped his hands: “This Disciple is scared!”
“Scared of what?”
“Scared of death!” He Pingsheng took a deep breath: “If you don’t pass this Taixu Great Xuan Scripture to him now, one day after your passing, he will definitely think you passed it to me. I can’t imagine what will happen to me then?”
“Life is but a hundred years, yet one worries for a thousand!” Taixu Old Ancestor waved his hand: “I have my own arrangements for this, you don’t need to worry!”
“Come over, continue learning Formation!”
“What is most important in Formation?”
“Forget it!” Taixu thumped back onto the reclining chair, saying, “I’m not in the mood to teach anymore, I’ll tell you about this Taixu Great Xuan Scripture instead!”
“Do you know why Master won’t pass it to him?”
He Pingsheng shook his head.
Taixu said, “It’s because he truly cannot cultivate it!”
“The Taixu Great Xuan Scripture is a Cultivation Technique without any specific attribute; it is not among the Five Elements, and it is very conventional!”
“Ordinary Cultivators cannot control this kind of attribute-less Cultivation Technique!”
He Pingsheng was immediately puzzled: “An attribute-less Cultivation Technique, is it for people without a Spiritual Root?”
Taixu shook his head, saying, “Of course not!”
