Chapter 1296: One Hundred and Ninety-Five Frustrations

This white-haired old man was none other than the mentor whom Wan Chong sought in order to gain a foothold in Dingxian City. Dong Kuan valued him very much because his qualifications were the best among Dong Kuan's disciples. If Wan Chong had not already had a solid foundation in Taoism when he became his disciple, and it would have been difficult for him to change his path, Dong Kuan would have let him inherit his mantle and would never have let him find a way out on his own.

  Although Wan Chong had already reported to Dong Kuan about his enlightenment in Tianyuan, the latter did not think that he could really accomplish it. After all, the ten righteous sects were well-known, and how could the independent cultivators in the city be compared with the disciples of the big sects?

Seeing today that his disciple Wan Chong not only did not return empty-handed, but also won the first place among many cultivators, Dong Kuan, as his teacher, was speechless for a moment.

However, the surrounding cultivators gathered around, looking at each other in bewilderment, and wanted to get to know Dong Kuan. They did not care that the master and disciple were both casual cultivators, and their words were full of admiration and praise. The disciples of the sects who claimed to be from famous sects did not look happy, and they whispered to each other about who Wan Chong was and why they had never heard of him before.

Then a rude disciple with a look of contempt could not help but say: "Wan Chong is lucky. He found a place where no one would compete with him early on. It's because the brothers and sisters from the various sects are not here, otherwise he would never have had a chance!"

Although there was also instability among the big sects, once they had to face independent cultivators who were not from the sect, they would put aside their past grudges and become united. They all felt that what he said made sense, and many of them nodded in agreement, thinking that there must be no disciples from big sects under the Tianyuan Pillar where Wan Chong was, which was why a independent cultivator could get there first.

His words were very blunt, and not only the independent cultivators felt unhappy after hearing them, but many cultivators of humble origins also frowned secretly. They were most afraid of encountering treacherous people when traveling outside. The next most feared were those arrogant disciples from large sects. Not only were they difficult to deal with, but they also had to be respectful and servile when dealing with them. If they were not careful, they might offend the other party and bring hatred upon themselves.

The two groups of cultivators had been harboring grievances for a long time, and had been holding each other's breath. Now that Wan Chong had taken a pillar first, the sect disciples could only engage in verbal battles, secretly hoping that someone would come quickly to suppress the other side.

There were many disciples stationed in the vast wilderness, watching and inquiring. When they saw someone ascending, one of them immediately reported his location. However, he hesitated and said, "I see that the Tianyuan Pillar that person is occupying seems to be the place where Senior Brother Hang is..."

These disciples were dressed differently, but their auras were mostly similar, which showed that they were of the same lineage, and there were no people from other sects mixed among them.

Seeing that they mentioned the names of Xiang Xuan disciples like Hang Shubai in their conversation, it is not difficult to guess that the group of people here is composed of a group of Xiang Xuan Dongtian disciples. Their cultivation is slightly inferior and they are not allowed to participate in the Tianyuan enlightenment. They came here with the elders of the sect mostly to increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons.

However, Hang Shubai, who is the true disciple of Dragon and Tiger Tower, is a very popular person among the disciples of Xiang Xuan lineage. Although he was defeated by Zhao Yu a few years ago, he still has the prestige he has accumulated. Many disciples in the sect still worship him, and they all hope that he can occupy a Tianyuan Pillar and compete for the position of the leader of the Great Dao.

Therefore, since they were all under the same Tianyuan Pillar, no one believed that Hang Shubai could be deprived of his opportunity by a casual cultivator.

"How is this possible!" Immediately, a tall young man stood up and looked into the sea of ​​​​sky with wide eyes. Although he knew that the disciple in front of him could not have lied, he would not be satisfied until he saw it with his own eyes.

Most of the monks have excellent eyesight, and they can see every detail within a few miles. If they focus their spiritual sense on their eyes, they can see dozens or hundreds of miles away. The tall boy urged his spiritual sense to look forward and saw that many people gathered under the Tianyuan Pillar where Wan Chong was. Perhaps they knew that the pillar had an owner, and many of them looked ugly, either shocked or angry. Hang Shubai stood in the group of people closest to the Tianyuan Pillar, his face as gloomy as water.

Seeing this, the tall young man couldn't help but feel disappointed. He staggered back two steps and muttered, "It's actually true. Senior Brother Hang, how could this be possible!"

Others didn't need to look at him anymore, just looking at his condition they knew whether it was true or not. For a moment, everyone looked as pale as death and remained silent, not daring to speak.

On the contrary, the powerful cultivator sitting in Caolongqingju was much calmer. Seeing the gloomy expressions of the elders sitting on both sides, he sighed slowly and said, "Don't worry too much. You should know that the great way contained in the Tianyuan Pillar requires a law of fate. The depth of enlightenment is only one consideration. It also depends on whose great way is closer to the great way in the pillar. Hang Shubai has a solid foundation and has not gone astray in his practice. That person can beat him, which shows that his own great way has won the favor of the Tianyuan Pillar, not other things."

Hearing this, Xiang Xuan, who was sitting at the bottom, was not much comforted. It was a great shame for a disciple of the immortal sect to be defeated by a casual cultivator. Being afraid of being blamed by the elders was one thing, but whether he could swallow this breath was another. He knew this disciple best. He had always been very ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others. After being defeated by Zhao Yu, he finally regained his ambition. Now he suffered another setback. It is hard to say whether his state of mind would not be affected.

The powerful monk in the upper seat saw his face was livid, and frowned again, and said in a lower tone: "One failure is not a big deal, as long as there is one of the 108 Tianyuan Pillars that has not been occupied by someone, there is still a glimmer of hope. In the past, when Tianyuan was enlightened, there were also people who came from behind to surpass the others. I have never seen anyone say that the one who came out on top must be the leader of the great way."

Although Xiang Xuan did not look up, he knew that these words were addressed to him, and he immediately restrained himself a lot.

Hundreds of miles away, in the sea of ​​sky.

Hang Shubai sat here in deep concentration, concentrating all his energy on comprehending the great Dao in the pillar. Because most of the cultivators around him were inexperienced and there were no elders in the sect to guide him, he was confident that the Tianyuan Pillar here could be his. But when he was really there, he found that the Tianyuan Dao was more about himself. In this process, the cultivator needed to transfer his own Dao into it in order to take the Dao embryo in the pillar for himself.

Whoever can occupy the Dao embryo first can seize the Tianyuan Pillar.

  Therefore, the path of cultivators must be in harmony with the Great Dao in the Pillar, otherwise how can one comprehend the embryo of Dao?

Unexpectedly, when he was about to reach the critical moment of the extradition, the countless mysteries floating in the vast heaven and earth suddenly rushed towards the Dao embryo. Hang Shubai was overjoyed for a moment, thinking that this was a sign of success. Unexpectedly, the next moment, his eyes flashed and he opened his eyes somehow. The Tianyuan Pillar in front of him seemed to be thousands of miles away from him and he could not touch it.
