Bone Taoist

Chapter 808: Secret Talk at Yun Pavilion
Time passes, things change, nothing is permanent.

Since ancient times, cultivators all over the world have been pursuing the way to immortality. The ancient fairyland is transcendental and detached from the world. With the aura of immortality, one can swallow the spirits of all things in the universe to achieve the state of immortality.

However, not all true immortals are content with the status quo. Above the realm of ascension, there is the realm of saints, which is an unheard-of realm in legends and has existed since the creation of the chaos and the beginning of the universe.

A true immortal found the boundary of the chaotic space, and it was as if he had touched some forbidden area, completely opening up a new world.

That is the formless realm, a void, which should be the grave of all things. In order to pursue a higher realm, the true immortal went there at the cost of his life, but in the end, it formed the "Meteoric Immortal Ridge" that was heard of in ancient times.

The first life forbidden zone in ancient times, even in that era, only a few immortals had heard of it.

Since the birth of Yunxian Ridge, the ancient creatures of the Colorless Realm began to evolve gradually. In the beginning, they were still very weak and tiny, just like ants on the ground. After endless years of ups and downs, day by day, they finally wore away the stone.

They lured one True Immortal after another, created one forbidden area after another, and finally broke out.

This was the origin of the great calamity and chaos in ancient times. The nine great saints who fought on the ancient road were not spared.

Chen Baishan looked old and experienced.

Ye Zang thought a lot at once. Why did one practice Taoism all his life? Wasn't it to seek transcendence? But Chen Baishan was different from all the cultivators he had met. Ye Zang could not see any worldly pursuit in him.

His state of mind was probably already transcendent. His talent for cultivation was so high that he would have achieved immortality in ancient times. It's a pity that his path was cut off in later generations.

"In the past, when I entered the Taoism, the old leader once asked me a question, Ye Zang, I want to hear your answer now." Chen Baishan spoke slowly in a calm tone, looking at Ye Zang with deep eyes.

"Master, please speak." Ye Zang bowed.

"After a hundred years of living, mortals will eventually return to dust. As for those of us who have entered the Tao, we have mastered supernatural powers and all kinds of magical abilities. Even though this Nine-Layered Prison is high above us, in the end we will be nothing but dust. If this is the case, why should we continue to practice Taoism?" Chen Baishan asked this question in a calm tone.

This question is already a cliché, but things are different now. Ye Zang is now in the Hedao realm and is no longer a young cultivator who has just entered the Dao.

Chen Baishan seemed to be asking him about his cultivation, but what he meant was that he was asking him about his inheritance.

The Divine Religion has been able to dominate the Immortal Burial Sea for millions of years and rise from the late ancient times. This is inseparable from the efforts of each generation of disciples and the headmaster. If Chen Baishan wants to choose the most perfect person in power, he must be someone who cares about the Divine Religion.

"Humans are not holy spirits, and cultivators cannot completely give up their seven emotions and six desires. We cultivators pursue immortality and the great way. In addition to our own transcendence, it is also for the people we care about. The great catastrophe is about to come in this world, and there may be changes. This is also the last fortune of the world." Ye Zang said calmly.

He spoke his mind.

After entering Taoism for the second time, Ye Zang's character has changed a lot. At the beginning, he only wanted to do everything he could to improve his Taoism and then wash away the hatred of his previous life with blood.

But now, his mood is much calmer. Although he still has murderous intent towards Chu Jiang and his group, this is no longer Ye Zang's ultimate goal.

What he wanted to do was to find an opportunity in the Nine Heavens, rebuild the fairyland, and let his confidantes, beloved women, disciples and relatives around him seek immortality with him.

If the end of transcendence is that there is only one person in the world, then what is the point of such immortality? Ye Zang would rather this world return to nothingness.

Chen Baishan's eyes trembled, and then he smiled and said, "Before I took power in the Divine Religion, I often discussed the Dao with Junior Brother Linggan. He is a very persistent person, and his talent and understanding are better than mine. But do you know why the old leader chose me?"

"Disciple once paid homage to the Dharma King Linggan, but senior didn't seem to be interested in matters concerning the Divine Religion." Ye Zang said thoughtfully.

"On the contrary." Chen Baishan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zang was stunned. Could it be that what happened between the King of Inspiration and Chen Baishan was not as rumored?
There are many rumors in the sect that the King of Linggan was not interested in the affairs of the sect, so he gave up power, and then it was Chen Baishan's turn to become the head of the sect, but that was nearly 100,000 years ago.

Only people of this time understand what happened. Even other Dharma Kings today do not know everything. And now, people of the status and attainments of Chen Baishan and Dharma King Linggan, how could they come out to respond to those things just because of some discussions?

"Junior brother wants to become the head sect leader more than anyone else. He was very popular back then and was known as a man of heaven. He had the demeanor of the great master." Chen Baishan covered his hands and walked down from the cushion. His eyes were deep, as if he was recalling the past.

However, the King of Inspiration became the head of the sect mostly in order to use his power as the head of the sect to delve into the realm of spiritual practice.

"In the words of my junior brother, this is a change from the source of cultivation. If it succeeds, the Jackdaw Divine Sect will completely change the world's situation and leave other sects far behind." Chen Baishan shook his head and said, "But this is gambling with the fate of the disciples of the Divine Sect, so the old leader rejected him."

Ye Zang listened and remained silent.

When he met the King of Inspiration, the latter gave him the feeling of being detached from the world and calm, but he never thought that there were such worldly moments. No matter what desires or ideas, as long as they are pursued to the extreme or even obsessive, there will be a tendency to go astray.

According to what Chen Baishan said, the King of Inspiration was a little crazy at that time, and he even used his own disciples as experiments.

"Junior brother hasn't seen me in these years. Given his personality, if he had proven that his path was feasible, he would have rushed back to the bishop's land and scolded me." Chen Baishan smiled indifferently.

Ye Zang had also witnessed the 'this-life Dharma' of the Inspirational Dharma King, which was indeed full of variables, and even made his disciples go against the trend and surpass the three realms of Shenzang to practice the Purple Mansion realm.

But Ye Zang was not that crazy. He observed the Dharma of the Spiritual Dharma King and only renovated his own Divine Collection, thus compiling the "Langya Dharma". He did not reform the realm of practice as drastically as the Spiritual Dharma King. "I understand why Junior Brother did this, because he could not see the way forward, so he had to tread a path on his own." Chen Baishan concentrated and said: "The path to ascension is cut off, and the Nine Heavens Prison is sealed. This is a shackle that weighs on all Taoist monks in the world. The ancestors of all generations have been looking for a way to break through the shackles, but Junior Brother is a little too radical. Things should be done slowly."

Chen Baishan did not completely disagree with the path of the Inspirational Dharma King, but he thought it was too early.

"The Divine Religion has an eternal foundation and countless followers, so we must indeed act with caution." Ye Zang responded.

Chen Baishan smiled and looked at Ye Zang, as if he was examining him. His deep eyes seemed to see through Ye Zang.

The position of the head sect is of utmost importance, and it concerns the eternal foundation of the sect, so Chen Baishan has to be cautious. According to past experience, the best candidate seems to be Ji Beilin.

Shu Aohan could not be compared with Ji Beilin, who not only had a high prestige in the sect, but also had a very high talent for cultivation. He was also a disciple of Master Jackdaw.

But now, with Ye Zang appearing, Chen Baishan became a little undecided.

"Tell me, what secret method did you obtain in the fairy palace of Feixiantu?" Chen Baishan asked again.

The topic changed quickly. Chen Baishan did not explicitly mention the position of the headmaster to Ye Zang, but he must have an idea in his mind, and Ye Zang did not want to speculate.

Nodding, Ye Zang talked about his experiences in Feixiantu.

Ye Zang told them all about the "Tai'a Law", the descendant of the Sun-Chasing Great Sage, the Fire Phoenix Girl, and the remaining soul of Feng Jianli.

However, Ye Zang did not tell him everything about the dream returning to ancient times and some things about the ancient creatures.

There was no point in telling Chen Baishan these things, as the latter was almost dead.

If it were to get out, it would even cause unnecessary changes, and even the True Immortals would be lured into the forbidden zone of life without any meaning.

If Taoists all over the world knew that there is such an ancient race in the formless realm, they would probably flock to it.

After all, they did not dream of returning to ancient times like Ye Zang did, and personally feel the horror of the catastrophe and the destruction of all living beings. They only thought that it was an opportunity that had been buried for many years.

Human hearts are unpredictable, and Ye Zang cannot afford such consequences.

Moreover, when Ye Zang met the Great Sage Tuntian, she asked Ye Zang not to talk about these things. These secrets seemed to be tainted with a lot of cause and effect.

Half a day later, dusk fell, covering Jackdaw Cloud Pavilion with a layer of golden sunset.

Chen Baishan listened to Ye Zang's words patiently.

"Just show us the Rebirth Formation." Chen Baishan said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zang did not hesitate. He took out the formation plate and evolved it on the spot. He used his spiritual sense to construct a complex formation in mid-air.

After hearing that Shu Aohan had entered the state of visualization, Chen Baishan was also very concerned. There were records of this state in the history of the Divine Religion, but no cultivator had ever experienced it personally.

"Rebirth and reincarnation, this ancient formation is really mysterious." Chen Baishan looked at it carefully. After observing it for a few sticks of incense, he bent his fingers and took out a thumb-sized bright stone from the Jackdaw Cloud Pavilion.

This stone appears and disappears vaguely, and seems to be about to disappear at any time, yet its interior is filled with the aura of a true immortal.

Now, it is included in Chen Baishan's powerful spiritual consciousness and can be manifested.

"This thing is the 'Fairy Stone' in the third realm of Taixu. It is the essence of the divine consciousness of heaven and earth. It has been lost since the ancient fairyland. It is extremely rare and cannot be regenerated. Over the years, my Divine Sect has only discovered three. You can use this thing as a guard at the eye of the formation." Chen Baishan said.

"Thank you, Master. My husband and I are grateful."

There was a gleam in Ye Zang's eyes. This thing was too precious and could not be measured by value.

"Ao Han is also my direct disciple. She is extremely talented and has a high level of comprehension. Her future achievements will not be lower than yours. Take good care of her..." Chen Baishan patted Ye Zang's shoulder with a kind and gentle smile on his face.

"Disciple, keep this in mind."

"Although the Five Elements Method is an ancient method, it is not suitable for everyone to practice. After you compile it with the Spiritual Tablets, send it to the Master of the Teaching Hall first and let Junior Brother Ma study it carefully before making any decisions."

"it is good!"

Ye Zang nodded heavily, and then discussed some matters of cultivation with Chen Baishan. Ye Zang did not leave Jackdaw Cloud Pavilion until late at night.
