Taoist Master Xuanhuang

The situation in the Penglai realm is slightly different.

When Lu Dongbin returned, he first encountered a large group of sacred kings who were once fellow Taoists of the same level but now called themselves Venerable.

They all expressed their deep feelings towards Lu Dongbin, lamenting that they made the decision too late, and also mentioned the "unjust behavior" of the corpse lifters.

Afterwards, Lu Dongbin encouraged everyone that although the previous road was closed, they could think of new ways. Roads are made by people, so he hoped that everyone would not give up.

In response to Lu Dongbin's advice, all the Taoists expressed that they would persist and never give up, and no one should try to hinder their cultivation.

All I can say is that these are a group of troublemakers. In the eyes of the realm consciousness, each of these troublemakers is rebellious.

If the realm consciousness had not clearly known that this was what it had conceived, it would have thought that these sacred things were made of lotus roots.

Afterwards, Lu Dongbin reported the situation to the Venerable.

The Penglai realm is very special. Different from the structure of the Wenwu Temple, the sacred beings here are all legendary, such as the Eight Immortals.

For example, Venerable Chunyang, who has a close relationship with Lu Dongbin, and Venerable Lord Dongwang.

The relationship between these three people is extremely complicated, and Lu Dongbin himself is his own biggest supporter.

It is a complex and intricate system of gods and immortals that is formed by the fantasies and beliefs of living beings and is difficult to understand.

In the entire Penglai realm, there are two sixth-rank lords, one is the Lord of the East and the other is the Lord of the West.

What remains are the sacred ones at the level of Venerable and King.

It is considered a top-level realm, but it is far behind the top-level ones such as the Wenwu Temple.

"Is that so? Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang is indeed a legend. What do you think, is it possible for me to practice Taoism as well?" Venerable Chunyang suddenly asked.

This question made Lu Dongbin stunned, and he was unable to recover for a short time.

My goodness, there are a bunch of kings outside clamoring to cultivate immortality, and the Venerable actually thinks so too?
What sin had I committed in this Penglai Realm?
"Ah, this, you..." Lu Dongbin was confused.

"Look, just talking about swordsmanship, which is your best, I am no worse than you. The way of Pure Yang is even more outstanding. I am not inferior to you in other aspects. What do you think, can I do it?" Venerable Chunyang was obviously not joking.

He spoke in a coherent manner and even cited evidence to show that he was not bad.

"For real, if you start cultivating immortality, your realm consciousness will go crazy." Lu Dongbin said.

He felt that the Venerable was not joking and really had this plan. This was too shocking.

It would be strange if the consciousness of the realm would agree if a Venerable half-leaves the realm to practice.

"Don't say it, don't say it. I tell you, I'm about to succeed, wait for me, fellow Daoist." Venerable Chunyang looked as if I was not joking.

"Ah?!" This time, I was really shocked.

"You, fellow Taoist, you can't do this. You are so stupid. If you..." Lu Dongbin panicked and hurried to persuade him.

Venerable Chunyang cannot do this, he is just a king.

The essence of being a venerable at this moment is the feedback I have received because of my great contributions.

But Venerable Chunyang is a Venerable. He is a top-notch master in the top realm and cannot be so willful as himself.

He is not the type who only cares about his own freedom and doesn't care about the life and death of others. It is really different. It is too terrifying for a Venerable to leave the realm.

But his impatience was interrupted by the Pure Yang Master, "Don't worry, I made this decision after comprehensive consideration. It is a very satisfactory way, not the kind that can be ignored. If I dare to ignore it, both the East King and the West King will not agree."

"Besides, I'm telling you this openly. Why don't you see why the realm consciousness doesn't react?"

Venerable Chunyang continued.

"It really is."

Lu Dongbin calmed down a lot.

Although the boundary consciousness of his own family has been nurtured by the rebellious sacredness that he has nurtured, his mentality has become very peaceful.

But that is the tolerance at the king level, definitely not the tolerance at the venerable level.

Since the Venerable has spoken to me so openly and the realm consciousness has not reacted, this means that the Venerable is right and the layout has been made.

"Are you serious, fellow Daoist?"

Lu Dongbin said after calming down.

Calling him Venerable is a polite title, but he is also Venerable in nature.

The reason why I call you fellow Taoist at this moment is because we are close.

“Of course, I can’t deceive you. In a year at most, I will be able to meet you in the human world as a cultivator. Please give me guidance when the time comes.” said Venerable Chunyang.

"Hiss?" Although I was sure, I was still shocked. How did they do that?
"Are you curious?" asked Venerable Chunyang.

"Yes! Will you tell me?" Lu Dongbin asked.

"There's nothing I can't tell you. I paid a huge price... Anyone can do this, but it depends on whether you can afford it."

The Pure Yang Master continued, "It's actually very simple. I've read the information about the world of cultivation you sent me, and I'm very interested in the owner of the Di Ting Tower named Bai Xiaosheng. Aren't you curious about him?"

"Bai Xiaosheng?"

All of Lu Dongbin's memories about Bai Xiaosheng suddenly came to his mind.

I am indeed very curious. Not only myself, but it seems that many people are curious about Bai Xiaosheng's behavior, and many people are also guessing about his Taoism.

However, no one dared to question Bai Xiaosheng about his status. Besides, Di Ting Lou also had shares in the Merit Hall. Bai Xiaosheng was recognized by the Merit Hall, so the curious monks had no right to ask.

"This person is very magical, and is good at using gossip to deduce numerology. He is the world's largest intelligence agency."

Lu Dongbin told everything.

"Everyone knows what you said, it's nothing new. I'm talking about his hidden side, such as his real practice method, and why he tried his best to provide information dissemination, naming, geomancy, etc. for the monks?"

"This..." Lu Dongbin shook his head and said, "This, I don't know, do you know, Your Excellency?"

"I'm not sure, but I have guesses and substantial experiments."

Venerable Chunyang shook his head, unsure.

The fate and cause and effect line of this person is covered by a giant palace of merit, and even he himself cannot see through it.

"What's your guess?"

The Pure Yang Master said, "My guess is that this person took out a loan to cultivate immortality!!"

"loan?"

“If you don’t understand what loans are, you can think of it as making a wish to cultivate immortality, and then fulfilling the wish to fill the hole.” said Venerable Chunyang.

"This?" Lu Dongbin understood.

But even though I understand it, I still find it a little hard to believe.

But according to what the Venerable said, and combined with Bai Xiaosheng's behavior, things seemed to be going smoothly.

"The reason why he seems to be selflessly devoting himself to the expansion of the world of cultivation is that he is repaying his merits... Making a wish to cultivate immortality is what we call cultivating merits, right? It's nothing more than that he borrows merits first, just like we are nurtured by the origin, and then we give back to the realm for nurturing it?"

"Yes, that's what I thought." said Venerable Chunyang.

"According to what you said, his actions seem to make sense. I heard not long ago that he was the biggest contributor in helping Ji Zhongfu become the leader of the Small World Alliance. It seems to be true." Lu Dongbin said.

"So, this person is a genius. My way of cultivation is to rely on this person's wish to cultivate immortality."

After Venerable Chunyang finished speaking, Lu Dongbin finally understood.

No wonder the origin of the realm allows the sacred semi-saints at the Venerable level to break away from their own practice. It turns out that they want to be capitalists.

I can agree to let you practice, but you must return to me the source that gave birth to you.

Of course, it is not enough to just give birth to the origin of the Venerable, it must be exceeded, otherwise wouldn’t it be a loss?
It is impossible to break even, you have to pay back at least double the amount.

"How much do you want to pay back, fellow Taoist? It's impossible to pay back evenly, right?" Lu Dongbin asked curiously. "Guess?"

"I'd say at least half as much."

"It's too little, continue." Venerable Chunyang said with a wry smile.

"It can't be twice as much?"

"Go on, it's still less."

"Oh, it can't be two and a half times?"

"Forget it, don't guess. It's three times. I have to pay three times the source that gave birth to me, so that I can settle the account. And there is a prerequisite, which is that I must leave my soul in the realm. This is a confiscated property, you know."

Venerable Chunyang gave a special explanation.

Lu Dongbin understood that he must keep the distraction.

Not as distracted as myself.

If I were a little more ruthless, I could completely ignore the realm and survive on my own. After all, the one who entered the world was my original god.

But what is different about Venerable Chunyang is that it is a split soul of the main god.

If the main god of this deity is slightly damaged, at best his soul will be annihilated, at worst...

There is no big or small matter, all of them end up with the soul being destroyed.

"My friend, this is too, too, too risky."

Lu Dongbin seemed to say that he was too much of a gambler and too reckless, but he didn't say it out loud.

"I have a plan. Don't worry about me. First of all, I have faith in the Taoist Master Xuan Huang. If I follow such a true Taoist master to practice, any opportunity will come. As long as I seize it, I can turn things around. Second, I have faith in myself. In this barbaric era of pioneering, I have the confidence to blaze a brand new trail. Third... I won't tell you, but I have the confidence to repay this secret once and for all, even to redeem myself."

Venerable Chunyang said with full confidence.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. As long as you have confidence, that's good."

Lu Dongbin was not unhappy, but very happy instead.

In this way, he would have one more fellow Taoist, and this fellow Taoist was from his own realm.

Not only that, this fellow Taoist has such a close relationship with me that they even have the ability to bind us.

It would be difficult for him to make progress without me. On the contrary, it would be strange if I made progress without him.

I am in the current situation because of the support of fellow Taoists. On the other hand, the fact that fellow Taoist Chunyang is so "rebellious" is also related to my achievements and development in the main world.

Strictly speaking, it was because he had walked out of a new path that Fellow Daoist Chunyang underwent this change under the constraints.

It’s hard to explain, it’s just fate.

Moreover, the three methods proposed by Taoist Chunyang are very practical.

The first one is the Taoist Master, this is very important. He is really afraid that Venerable Chunyang is too proud and does not take Taoist Master Xuanhuang seriously.

I think if he can do Xuanhuang, then I can do it too.

If he had such thoughts, Lu Dongbin would have tried to persuade him, or even persuade him to give up his plan to practice.

But since Venerable Chunyang put the Xuanhuang factor first, he felt relieved.

You don't know unless you experience it, there is really no comparison. Compared with Xuan Huang, Xuan Huang is a god, an omnipotent god.

Perhaps this folk myth of mine is as omnipotent as Xuanhuang Daozhu in the minds of the common people.

But he knew that he was just a sacred being conceived by the origin of the realm and condensed from folk fantasies and beliefs, and he was not the omnipotent Drunken Sword Immortal.

I really wish I were the deity Lu Dongbin that people believe in.

Chunyang said that Xuanhuang Taoist Master was the true Taoist Master, which showed his physical and mental recognition, so he felt that if he followed such a Taoist Master to practice, everything would be possible.

This grand occasion has been mentioned many times. A Taoist master came to the world to personally teach the Dharma. This was the starting point of a great era.

As long as you follow the Taoist master in practicing, it is no surprise that you will achieve success and become the founder of the sect.

As long as you have enough talent and perseverance, this can be easily achieved.

Coincidentally, Taoist Fellow Chunyang has enough talent and perseverance, and he also met Taoist Master Xuanhuang, so all the prerequisites are met.

This is the second thing that Venerable Chunyang said, that he has enough ability to repay it.

As for the third one, he was really curious.

However, Chunyang wouldn't ask if he didn't tell him, because everyone has their own little secrets.

When Venerable Chunyang reincarnates and practices, all the truth will be revealed.

"The Taoist master said he wanted a third-level weirdness?"

Chunyang did not forget the purpose of Lu Dongbin's visit.

"correct."

"Okay, I'll give you a token of my loyalty first. Follow me and I'll catch him myself. I guarantee it'll be a big, full-blown weirdo."

Venerable Chunyang is very good at description.

It's weird to use a full-sounding name, only he and Wu'an Jun can do it.

soon.

The three of them each brought three weird things from their respective realms, one at the extreme third level, and two at the late third level.

Surprisingly consistent.

In a very short time, he arrived at Xuanhuang to report.

"Not bad, not bad, the quality is very good... It seems that your progress has been seen by the venerables in your realm and they are very supportive of you... In this way, it is true that I am favoring you."

Xuan Huang was very satisfied and expressed a guess that had been buried in their hearts for a long time.

It was God's favor. They had guessed a long time ago why they were able to blaze new trails, and at a higher level at that.

I have always suspected that it was the care of the Taoist master, but now I am finally sure that it is indeed the result of the Taoist master's grace.

"We thank the Taoist master for his help." The three of them bowed in thanks.

Now is not the past, and what’s more, Xuan Huang said it face to face, which would not shake their determination to follow the Tao.

Being blessed and cared for by the Lord of Tao is itself a kind of luck and talent. This kind of luck and talent may even exceed one's real talent and ability.

Therefore, there is no possibility of shaking one’s determination in the Tao. Not only will it not be shaken, but it will also make one more confident.

It turns out that I am so outstanding, otherwise why would the Taoist master value me?
"No need to be polite, Guiyi can just stay... Go back and meditate for a while. The birth of the Lord of the True Self is all true, especially for the three of you. If you comprehend the truth, you will gain something."

Xuan Huang waved his hand and let the three of them leave.

After expressing their gratitude again, the three of them left happily.

Since the Taoist master said so, it must be true. I guess I need to go into seclusion for a while after I return.

The Lord of the True Self is the third Lord of the Tao Lord?

It turns out that he is the Lord of all living beings, the Lord of heaven and earth, and ultimately the Lord of my true self. Everything is right.

The Lord of My True Self, only a fourth-level person can be called that, right?

The three of them thought so...
