The memories belonging to Taixu Old Ancestor began to unfold before He Pingsheng.
Taixu possessed a family heirloom Cultivation Technique called the Taixu Great Xuan Scripture.
This Cultivation Technique was of an extremely high grade, reaching the Heaven Rank.
Moreover, it was a Medium Grade Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique.
Cultivating with this technique, one's speed was more than double that of an ordinary person.
However, after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, cultivation shifted from breaking through physical barriers to breaking through Dao barriers, so Taixu Old Ancestor's cultivation speed also slowed down.
When Taixu was around five hundred years old, he had a son named Wuwei.
When Wuwei was seven years old, he was injured by an enemy's Divine Ability using wood spiritual power, causing his Meridians to gradually weaken, and he was on the verge of death.
Among the Five Elements, Time overcomes wood!
By continuously infusing pure Time power into Wuwei's body day after day, he could fully recover.
The crucial point was that Taixu did not possess a Time Spiritual Root.
And Wuwei's mother had a Five Elements Spiritual Root, but her cultivation was very low; although she had a Time Spiritual Root, the magical power in her Dantian was insufficient.
To save her son, the woman drew her sword and dug out her Five Elements Spiritual Root, giving it to her husband.
After Taixu Old Ancestor endured the pain and devoured the Spiritual Root, the Taixu Great Xuan Scripture reached Major Achievement! From then on, he could wield the power of the Five Elements, and finally used pure Time power to help his son escape danger.
However, Wuwei's mother died as a result.
This was the truth behind Taixu Old Ancestor devouring the Five Elements Spiritual Root.
Later, the Old Ancestor, whose Taixu Great Xuan Scripture had reached Major Achievement, possessed Heaven-Defying combat power, slaying all his enemies and establishing the Tai Xu Sect.
Of course, Taixu Old Ancestor's memories contained much more; this part related to the Taixu Great Xuan Scripture was merely a drop in the ocean.
He Pingsheng navigated and observed within his memories.
After an unknown period, the darkness before him suddenly vanished, turning into light.
After a moment of disorientation, He Pingsheng found that he could control his body again.
His limbs could move.
His Divine Thought was free.
He could also make sounds.
He opened his eyes and looked around.
In the guest seat of the Formation ahead, an Old Man still stood.
Taixu!
Taixu remained motionless.
"I'm actually not dead?" He Pingsheng shook his hand and said, "Could it be that this Old thing failed in his Possession and then died?"
Taixu Old Ancestor's voice suddenly rang out: "You're not dead, so how could this Old Man die?"
"You, you, you, you..." He Pingsheng stammered, too surprised to know what to say.
"Stop with the 'you, you, you, you'..." The Old Ancestor said, "You were half right just now. I'm not dead, but as you said, the Possession failed!"
"Alright, now you're not worried about this Old Man, are you?"
"Come here!"
"This Old Man's Divine Thought is weak, help me over to sit down!"
He Pingsheng felt a mix of emotions, unable to express whether he hated Taixu or something else!
In any case, since the other party had failed in the Possession, he was no longer in danger, so He Pingsheng still walked to Taixu's side, helped him walk through the main hall and into the back door, and then sat down under his favorite old tree.
Of course, even now, if Taixu truly wanted his life, he wouldn't be able to escape.
He Pingsheng had no other choice but to obey his commands!
"Your Opportunity is not shallow!"
After the Old Man sat down, he closed his eyes wearily, but his mouth kept moving: "You managed to obtain such a treasure as the gathering treasure basin, which is only spoken of in legends! No wonder you, young man, can cultivate so quickly; it turns out you've been consuming top-grade Medicinal Pills all along!"
"But this Old Man is also puzzled. This gathering treasure basin was clearly within my Tai Xu Sect, yet for so many years, none of these idiots ever discovered it?"
"Why was it only discovered by you?"
He Pingsheng said, "Perhaps this is my Opportunity!"
"That's right!"
"Opportunity is the most mysterious thing. If you don't take it, it might sit there for a thousand or eight hundred years, waiting for the basin to sink into the mud, and no one would ever take it, right?"
Without waiting for He Pingsheng's reply, Taixu Old Ancestor exhaled deeply, saying, "So sleepy... I really want to sleep soundly!"
He Pingsheng said, "Then... I'll help you watch, and you can sleep slowly?"
"Can't sleep, no Time left!" The Old Man suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze shot out: "This Old Man doesn't have many hours left to live... Help me up, let's keep going forward!"
"There are still some important things I haven't told you yet!"
"Let's go!"
Taixu Old Ancestor had He Pingsheng help him, and they walked all the way to the very back of the garden.
At the very end of this Lingzhi Garden, there was a tall rockery.
The rockery was made of a single huge stone and was very distinctive.
Taixu Old Ancestor took out an iron plate and tapped it twice, and a small door appeared on the otherwise solid rockery.
He Pingsheng looked at the small door in shock.
He had been coming and going here for several years, yet he never knew there was a door here?
"Go in!"
Taixu led He Pingsheng into the small door and walked along the downward sloping path.
Before long, they arrived at a secret chamber!
He Pingsheng could feel that this was a secret chamber buried underground.
The secret chamber was not large, only about ten feet in circumference.
It was about one height high.
There was nothing special inside the secret chamber, only a stone table and two stone stools.
On the surrounding walls, a row of bright pearls hung, so although it was underground, it was exceptionally bright.
And on the stone table, there was a Time lamp.
The lamp was not lit, but it exuded an ancient and desolate aura.
In one corner of the secret chamber, there was also a platform about three feet high, with some condensed patterns on it, but it was unclear what they were!
Taixu sat down on one of the stools and said, "Actually, I lied to you before..."
"As early as several decades ago, this Old Man already knew his fate; how could there be another sixty-year Lifespan?"
"Hehehe... That was to deceive you!"
"This Old Man's life is fleeting!"
"After I die, do not tell anyone this news. Just announce to the outside world that this Old Man is still in seclusion for cultivation!"
"This way, you and the Tai Xu Sect can be safe for sixty years!"
"Bring me that lamp!"
Taixu pointed to the Time lamp on the stone table.
He Pingsheng had already noticed this lamp. He carefully picked it up and placed it in Taixu's hand.
Taixu's withered old hand caressed the Time lamp and said, "Our Tai Xu Sect has an enemy, which is the Beast Controlling Sect... The two former and current Nascent Soul Grand Elders of the Beast Controlling Sect were both slain by this Old Man!"
"They all say to nip the evil in the bud, nip the evil in the bud, alas..."
"But this Old Man was soft-hearted after all. Back then, I didn't completely eradicate their Disciples, and now two of them have advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
"They have become a serious threat to our Tai Xu Sect!"
"The reason they haven't attacked our Tai Xu Sect yet is because they fear this Old Man's existence, hahaha..."
"Once the news of this Old Man's death spreads, that will be the Time of the Tai Xu Sect's destruction!"
At this point, Taixu asked He Pingsheng, "Do you understand this Old Man's meaning?"
He Pingsheng said, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't spread it!"
"That alone won't be enough!" Taixu Old Ancestor said, "The Beast Taming Immortal Sect has an extremely powerful Spell called 【Luck Gaze】. Once this Old Man falls, even if the news doesn't spread, they can instantly know if they use this Spell to gaze upon our Tai Xu Sect's Luck!"
He Pingsheng frowned and said, "What should be done about this?"
The Old Man said, "No rush, this Old Man has a way to deal with it!"
"It's this Luck Time Lamp!"
