Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

After a short while, Leng Zijin stopped again and said softly, "Brother Luo, I was indeed quite presumptuous in what happened earlier, and I apologize to you here!"

Leng Zijin bowed in the direction of Luo Yan.

But there was no response for a long time; all I saw was a blank, expressionless face.

"Brother Luo's strength far surpasses that of those Dao disciples and saintesses in my opinion."

"I hope that our grudges can be wiped clean from now on."

"When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, we'll still have the chance to sit down and chat."

As soon as they finished speaking, the old man and the young man disappeared from Tianyun Star.

Luo Yan stared blankly at the two streaks of light that had already disappeared, lost in thought.

His fingers clenched into a fist, but then quickly relaxed.

Luo Yan fell into a long silence, gazing into the distance, her expression neither joy nor sorrow.

You want to wipe the slate clean? Can you really erase it?

Even when Patriarch Longyangzi appeared here, the subsequent development of this matter was already beyond Luo Yan's control.

"Are you still dwelling on this? Haven't you moved on from this feud?"

Palace Master Gongsun spoke softly, his tone gentle yet filled with authority and a sense of vicissitude.

In his view, it didn't matter whether it was this young man in blue or that little guy who left.

It is not important who can inherit the position of the Star Envoy of the Heavenly Fortune Star.

The important thing is that someone has to take over.

Therefore, Gongsun Yan didn't care much about the feud between these two juniors.

But since his old friend personally intervened, Gongsun Yan had to respond, just to give Longyangzi face.

"We who cultivate destiny should take the operation of the Heavenly Way as our law. The seven emotions and six desires are nothing but fleeting clouds to us."

"You must learn to take things on and let them go. If you have no attachments in your heart, grudges will naturally disappear."

"In this respect, you are not as good as him."

Gongsun Yan said coldly, in his view, those who peer into fate are inherently full of scheming and counter-scheming.

The feud between these two little guys has been going on for over a hundred years, and there is still no definitive answer.

Why continue fighting then?
Besides, even Long Yangzi has stepped in to mediate. If this young man in blue still doesn't know what's good for him, wouldn't he be out of touch with reality?

Luo Yan lowered his eyes and remained silent. He knew that the Palace Master was trying to enlighten him in this way.

I advised him to let it go.

But Luo Yan isn't like weeds in a field or trees in a forest; you can't just let her go like that.

If you can't beat them, you call their parents, right?
Luo Yan also wanted to ask his parents to come, but unfortunately, his teachers seemed unable to empathize with him on this matter.

This is very annoying.

"This disciple is rather ignorant and does not understand why the grudges between us juniors would involve such important figures as Senior Longyangzi and Palace Master."

Luo Yan whispered that his feud with Leng Zijin had almost reached the point where it was either him or Leng Zijin who would die.

Calculation, the struggle over the great principles, the struggle over destiny, and so on.

If any link in this chain were to go wrong, Luo Yan would no longer be standing here; his Dao Heart would probably have shattered long ago.

At that time, all talk of forging ahead, creating new laws, and evolving the world will become castles in the air.

Perhaps it was because he understood this that Leng Zijin did not hesitate to ask his master for help after he realized that his plan had failed.

Because based solely on Leng Zijin's abilities, he would be completely overwhelmed by Luo Yan.

Over time, Tianyun Star became Leng Zijin's prison; he couldn't get out, couldn't leave, and couldn't do anything.

Because no matter what Leng Zijin does, Luo Yan will catch up with him within three days at most and completely destroy it.

This was an absolutely unacceptable fact for Leng Zijin.

If this continues, he will inevitably be implicated, and may even lose his own cultivation level.

In addition, Leng Zijin had some knowledge of the Five Elements Sect in Beihai. The technique of creating an external avatar was a secret of that sect, equivalent to a second body.

On one side is himself, whose cultivation level cannot advance an inch, and on the other side is his opponent's unbridled delaying tactics.

With this shift in power, even Leng Zijin felt the situation was becoming tricky.

Now, with the intervention of their respective teachers, the deep-seated hatred between Luo Yan and Leng Zijin had to be abruptly ended.

Leng Zijin left happily, figuring he could always start over somewhere else.

But how could Luo Yan bear such an outcome?
A casual remark from both teachers sealed the matter, declaring it all a misunderstanding.
You think you can just pick it up and put it down so easily? How could you expect Luo Yan to let go of this great grudge?

Could it be that they're trying to take advantage of his honest nature?
“Foolish child, haven’t you seen their lineage’s scriptures and teachings?”

"Don't you understand their code of conduct?"

Palace Master Gongsun sighed, seeing that his junior had not yet recovered from that grudge, so he changed the subject.

This also explains the real reason why he not only didn't step in to help, but also forcibly stopped it.

The "Wansheng Xinyin Fa" is an unparalleled and extraordinary scripture, no less than the most supreme and precious techniques for protecting a religion.

Those who come into contact with it without understanding its true nature will eventually become nourishment for that faction.

This is a unique and extraordinary book that uses all spirits as its nourishment and ultimately transcends oneself.

If Gongsun Yan hadn't already possessed his own Great Dao, he would have truly wanted to switch cultivation methods and start over.
"Please enlighten me, Your Highness!"

Luo Yan's eyes shifted, temporarily setting aside his killing intent, and he bowed respectfully.

Although he had seen the "Ten Thousand Saints Heart Seal Method," it was a reference act by the original body to observe hundreds of scriptures and comprehend all laws in order to create the Yin-Yang Cloud Pattern Method.

Having seen that particular scripture does not mean that he has actually practiced it.

Since the essence is in creating methods, it naturally needs to refer to various wonderful methods to perfect itself.

After that, the "All Saints' Heart Seal Technique" never appeared in the second spirit body's memories again.
"I have heard that a method of propagation by cuttings once circulated in the mortal world."

"Farmers can propagate pear seedlings by inserting them into the branches of peach trees that are in bloom."

"When the petals fall and the fruit ripens, pears will grow on the peach branches."

Master Gongsun spoke with a smile, using a very vivid metaphor to describe the lineage of Longyangzi.

"Isn't this the demonic soul-binding technique?"

Luo Yan frowned. As he pondered, the sealed scriptures of the "Ten Thousand Saints Heart Seal Method" began to flicker in his mind like fireflies.

Although Luo Yan hadn't studied those profound and mysterious techniques, he could memorize them at any time if he wanted to. [The most profound of mysteries, the gateway to all wonders; in this world, there is no self, yet everywhere is self.]

In my dreams spanning a thousand autumns, as time flows like a river, I journey upstream to finally witness my past, present, and future lives.

These pulsating runes of fate, like the most dazzling stars, floated in Luo Yan's mind, illuminating his heart.

"Indeed, the demonic soul-binding technique and this extraordinary scripture are actually quite similar in many ways."

The only difference between the two is that one targets people, while the other targets the vague and uncertain future.

Palace Master Gongsun explained that for a powerful figure like him, all the laws of the world share certain commonalities.

Because they have a higher perspective and a broader view, they have a clearer understanding of the power behind the scriptures, magic, and techniques.

The source of their power, where it truly comes from, is something they cannot escape their notice.

The saying "If you understand one method, you understand all methods" does not mean that you are proficient in all methods, but rather that you understand the underlying power of all methods.

Even the most magnificent and leafy trees all have roots that originate from the same place!
The power of the "Wansheng Heart Seal Method" lies in its unpredictability and the fact that it is impossible to guard against.

This is a profound and extraordinary book that can predict future trajectories and use them to make strategic plans.

The future is constantly changing, and no one can guarantee that they can truly see through it.

But Longyangzi's lineage is different; they can make in-depth plans by relying on the "Ten Thousand Saints Heart Seal Method".

As long as the fate of a chess piece changes but does not exceed their strategic plan, they can devour the causal power of that piece.

Thus, one's own destiny and power are increased.
In the traditional path of destiny, to achieve mastery, one must rely on exceptional comprehension in order to have the possibility of merging with the Dao.

However, if one cultivates this "Myriad Saints' Heart Seal Method," as long as one is skilled in calculation and calculates meticulously and thoroughly enough, then all living beings in the world will become one's resources.
"More than seven thousand years ago, in order to seek the secret of becoming an immortal, I came to the Ancient Mystic Domain and learned many legends about the Earth Immortal Alliance."

"But the restrictions for joining the Earth Immortal Alliance are very strict. Due to the age limit of my soul, I was already eliminated. So I set my sights on the demonic path."

"It was at this time that I met Long Yangzi."

Next, Gongsun Yan briefly recounted what he had experienced.

Luo Yan listened attentively throughout, and finally frowned and asked, "So, the inheritance on Leng Zijin's body is fake?"

This is absolutely explosive news. If it gets out, it will probably cause a huge stir throughout the entire Earth Immortal Alliance.

Is the inheritance passed down by the astrologer fake?
This is really unbelievable!

He clearly passed the test of a true immortal's divine sense, but now he's telling Luo Yan that everything here is fake?
The Heavenly Fortune Star Immortal Scripture is fake, and the identity of its successor is also fake.
It was truly beyond Luo Yan's expectations that Leng Zijin could do such a thing.

This guy is incredibly clever; he managed to keep it completely in the dark, without him noticing at all.
"I prefer to call that 'Ten Thousand Saints Heart Seal Method' the 'Demonic Seed of the Dao Heart.' Even unrelated people, as long as they enter the destiny trap of their lineage, will become their nourishment."

"Just like a peach tree bearing pears—it's magical!"

Gongsun Yan sighed. He had originally thought that he would take over the position of a top genius, sacrifice him, and then use this opportunity to join the Earth Immortal Alliance.

That would already be considered a convenient and expedient approach.

Who would have thought that Long Yangzi would go even further?

He set his sights directly on the previous generation's Heavenly Fortune Star Envoy, and through multiple schemes, gradually devoured that person's power of destiny.

As long as he continues to devour, Long Yangzi's own destiny will merge with that of the previous generation's Heavenly Fortune Star.

At that time, Long Yangzi will be able to replace the former Star Envoy and become a brand new Star Envoy.

At this very moment, Gongsun Yan also turned his attention to the Heavenly Fortune Star Envoy.

Thus, Longyangzi and Gongsun Yan, sharing the same goal, were brought together without anyone noticing.

At first, their meeting was unpleasant. They fought each other many times for the position of Star Envoy, but neither could gain the upper hand.

But no one was willing to give up, because the position of Star Envoy represented the possibility of competing for a spot as a True Immortal.

In their quest for immortality, neither Longyangzi nor Gongsun Yan would yield to the other.

Despite their rivalry, the two of them shared a tacit understanding.

That means first resolving the issues related to the previous generation's celestial influences, and then deciding on the affiliation.
"Since you and Senior Longyangzi have such a connection, then what about the feud between me and Leng Zijin?"

Luo Yan was puzzled. What happened to the previous generation was ultimately the previous generation's business. What did it have to do with them, the younger generation?
We can't force the younger generation to be loving and affectionate just because of this, can we?
"After we joined forces to eliminate the previous generation of Star Messenger, Long Yangzi and I fought for this title for over a thousand years, and in the end, it was still difficult to determine a winner."

"Later on, we both got tired, so he set his sights on the other astrologers."

"Anyway, their lineage is the best at doing this kind of thing."

"From then on, my relationship with Longyangzi changed from enemies to close friends."

Palace Master Gongsun began to recount the events that had transpired in the past.

The reason he stepped in to take sides was because he owed the other party a favor, and he had no choice but to do so.

After all, he was able to secure his position as the Star Envoy of the Heavenly Fortune Star thanks to Long Yangzi's concession.

Otherwise, their conflict could go on forever.

Gongsun Yan revealed these facts so that the young man in blue robes in front of him could understand his difficulties.

He had to consider Long Yangzi's feelings.

Letting go is the best outcome for both parties.

Hearing this, Luo Yan finally understood that these two teachers not only had a good relationship.

They are also strategic allies, jointly rooted under the giant tree of the Earthly Immortal Alliance.

Both sides know each other well, and a falling out would be bad for both of them, and could even cause a major upheaval within the Earth Immortal Alliance.

If a feud between two juniors escalates into a major conflict, affecting the tacit understanding between their teachers and mentors, then that would be a truly disastrous situation.

"I didn't want to get involved in your feud with that little guy."

"Unfortunately, your bloodlust is far too strong, and if I don't step in to stop you, even Long Yangzi's appearance alone probably wouldn't be enough to frighten you."

"You'll continue to pester me, won't you?"

Palace Master Gongsun sighed, "He is clearly a promising talent in the path of destiny. It would be fine if he didn't lose his humanity and just sought profit and avoided misfortune."

Unfortunately, he possessed a brilliant mind, but also an incredibly persistent and ferocious nature.

This really surprised him.

"Disciple understands. I will temporarily restrain myself and not cause any trouble for Ancestor."

Luo Yan bowed respectfully. He understood the big principles, but he didn't want to follow them.

They plotted against him multiple times, almost destroying his resolve to follow the Dao.

Now they're bringing up their superiors, trying to brush it off so easily? There's no such thing as a free lunch. (End of Chapter)
