Tao and Heaven

Chapter 216: He is the only one who is talented

The next day, early morning.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door. Gu Wen woke up from his sleep and opened the door in a daze.

Outside the door, two men with strange looks stood. One had tiger eyes and sharp teeth, was dressed in animal skins, and was unusually sturdy. The other wore a green robe with scales, had dragon horns on his head, erect pupils, and a faint reversal scale could be seen on his neck.

This monster has come to the door?

Gu Wen rubbed his eyes, showing no fear at all. His nonchalant attitude was completely different from his former attitude of facing a formidable enemy.

"It's been a long time since we last met. You've fallen to this state."

The young man with long horns looked around the humble house, which was drafty on all sides, with a rotten door and leaking tiles. He couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking back to the past, Gu Wen was so powerful, he overwhelmed many geniuses of the demon race and beat them so hard that they could hardly raise their heads. Now he was reduced to such a simple residence, alone in this remote place.

Gu Wen smiled and said calmly, "It's been many years since we last met. You've really become a worm. I can kill you with one slap."

This made the young man with dragon horns stunned for a moment, but he didn't get angry and smiled: "You are still the same as before."

In the past, he would definitely be angry, but now Gu Wen has fought against the twelve demon ancestors and finally attracted the Holy Lord to take action. He is the undisputed number one in the world, unparalleled in the world, comparable to the Qingcang Immortal.

Towards the strong, they, the demons, are infinitely tolerant.

"Bai Dixun, Ao Heng, why did you two demons come to see me?"

Getting back to the point, Gu Wen revealed the identities of those who came out. They were hidden geniuses from the White Tiger Clan and the Azure Dragon Clan, equivalent to the level of Jun Yan, Chi Yuzi and others.

Among them, Ao Heng is only slightly weaker than the Three Pure Ones. He once put great pressure on Gu Wen, but now he can kill the other person with one hand.

He asked himself and answered: "Are you here to die?"

Ao Heng said frankly: "In a sense, you are seeking death. There is a grudge between us, and you have every reason to kill me. But the simplest and most boring thing in the world is life and death. It is true that living longer will give you more opportunities to transcend, but now your existence is more precious than transcendence."

"Having missed you, the only one in eternity who has attained perfection, I will probably feel extremely guilty in the future."

"I am the same, but I am here to express my gratitude." Bai Dixun said in a deep voice, "You once said that losing to you should not be a shame, but an honor. Now it seems that this is the case."

Then his Taoist skills were revealed, and in the void, a white tiger seemed to be coming from across the ages.

The eighth of the nine levels of the Tao foundation is perfect, and he is half an immortal.

He has already reached the standard of becoming a cave master, and even slightly exceeded his expectations. Gu Wen's existence has made him practice with all his strength for decades, and he recalls the battle with Gu Wen day and night, which has almost become a demon in his heart.

Then, when he heard about Gu Wen's deeds of monopolizing the twelve demon ancestors, his inner demon disappeared, and everything fell into place.

This is why we have to participate in the Great World Struggle. Only beings of the same level can be called whetstones, and a strong person like Gu Wen is even more like a furnace. As long as you survive this level, you will definitely achieve a lot in the future.

He would definitely not have been willing to do so decades ago. Who doesn’t want to be the best in the world?

But once you calm down, you will understand the good intentions of your demon ancestor.

"."

Gu Wen had a strange look on his face, finding it hard to understand what the other party was thinking.

Risking his life to see him off? Aren't you really afraid that he will slap you?
"Very good, now you have said enough, you can go and die."

As soon as the words fell, in the eyes of the two people, Gu Wen's figure seemed to rise ten thousand feet taller, and his eyes, like the sun and the moon, carried a hint of murderous intent.

These two geniuses of the demon clan will surely achieve great things in the future. As far as Gu Wen knows, most of the demon ancestors are half-baked people selected by Jianmu, and many times they can "become immortals" as long as they are willing to become puppets.

They may cause the death of many humans in the future and cause trouble for the master.

He raised his hand and used the Jade Purity Immortal Dharma to create a force that covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

Ao Heng and the other two were so frightened that they turned pale. Only when they faced Gu Wen's power did they understand the fear that the former demon ancestor had felt.

He quickly took out a letter from his arms and said, "Wait, we are not enemies, we are not enemies, we are here to deliver a letter."

The next moment the giant disappeared, and their sight suddenly returned to the courtyard. An ordinary man was standing in front of the dilapidated house, with nothing special about him.

Be able to control yourself and return to nature.

The two looked at each other and saw that the other's eyes were filled with fear.

The gap between them was so huge that it was unnoticeable, and they could only tremble in fear when the other party showed their murderous intent.

"You should have said it earlier. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Gu Wen took the letter and sensed the same aura on the letter as his own. It was undoubtedly from his master.

"How come the master's letter is in your hands?"

You know, the master said that humans and demons cannot coexist, but in daily contact, it doesn’t seem that extreme.

To be more precise, Qingcang had an extremely pure hostility towards Jianmu, and once said, "A man without virtue is a demon."

Ao Heng replied: "The fox fairy persuaded the immortal Qingcang to put aside past grudges and unite with some demons. And our demon ancestors are unwilling to be controlled by Jianmu anymore. Now that Jianmu's vitality has been severely damaged, it is a good time."

"Regardless of past grudges?"

Gu Wen frowned slightly.

His master was a complete idealist, how could he let bygones be bygones? If he had been so flexible, he wouldn't have died.

When I opened the letter, beautiful words came into view.

[I haven't seen Zhiyu for a long time, and I miss him so much]

[Teacher is well, I have found a solution now, don't worry.]

After reading the whole article, except for the first sentence, which contains some information, the rest is to criticize his sloppy life. Let him eat well and wear warm clothes on a daily basis, repair the house, take care of himself, etc.

After repeating this for more than thousands of words, the image of a nagging Taoist monk in plain clothes jumped out of the paper.

Gu Wen smiled knowingly, put away the letter, and returned to the house.

Ao Heng and Bai Dixun, the two demons, knew that they were not welcome, so they bowed slightly and then fled away.

After walking for more than ten miles, he looked back in the direction of the courtyard and couldn't help sighing.

They are now losers, but the true genius wants to see how far the person who defeated them can go. God is jealous of the talented, but the talented are not jealous of the talented.
-
In the thirty-fifth year of Daxia, He Qing, the successor of the Blood Demon Sect, had reached the eighth level of the Dao Base and also had the hope of becoming a Heavenly Master.

During the casual chat, Gu Wen learned that the other party was in a cave of gods and demons, where the people were simple and honest, murder and robbery were common, and evil cultivators who were neither human nor ghost were not uncommon.

People like him who never kill people at will are already great good people.

In June of the same year, Nie Fan, who is currently ranked twelfth on the human list, came to visit. He has reached the seventh level of the Taoist foundation and is a true master.

It was learned that the other party was in Xuanhuangzhou, a place of righteousness, with many chivalrous men and people living and working in peace and contentment. It was also the place where Gu Wenyuqing's faction once stayed.

In the 36th year of Daxia, Li Rongyun, the seventh on the Earth Ranking of the Qi Transformation Sect, visited. They had no friendship, only met once, but they still had a good chat.

Gu Wen learned that the other party was in Yunlei Continent, which was a holy place for practicing thunder magic.

In the same year, many sword cultivators who had met Luo Du once came to visit him.

There were many people and many gossips, but Gu Wen still wrote down their places in Tianwai one by one, so that he could visit them in the future, or use it as a travel guide.

In the thirty-seventh year of Daxia, Xiao Yunyi came to visit.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he did not sit down to reminisce about the past. Instead, he took a look at the dilapidated house and began to help repair it.

There were knocking sounds in the courtyard. Gu Wen was lying on a bamboo chair. His Taoist robe had been patched countless times, but he was still unwilling to change into a new one.

He held a book in his hand, which was filled with records of his experiences outside the universe.

"Brother Xiao, are there any beautiful sights in Zhejian Mountain?"

On the eaves, Xiao Yunyi poked his head out and replied, "There are no beautiful views, but there are many wonders. The thousand-foot-high Sword Mountain, the sword-making furnace that is as tall as a mountain, and the scene of tens of thousands of sword cultivators riding swords to catch up with their morning lessons, attract cultivators from all over the world to visit every year."

"But none of these can compare to Mount Sanqing, which hangs high in the sky and watches over all races."

Gu Wen wrote it down, handwriting was just a hobby, everything could form a deep memory in his mind.

He said with emotion: "If I was born in the outer world, I could have joined a sect when I was young."

Xiao Yunyi said: "Brother Gu has become an immortal now. I don't know how many cultivators envy and admire him. Why should you belittle yourself?"

Over the years, all geniuses who were about to leave the Immortal Realm would come to see Gu Wen once, which had almost become a convention. The reason was very tacky, in the future when people talked about heroes of the past and present, Gu Wen would definitely be among the top few.

And if they don’t see it today, they won’t be seen in the future.

Because everyone is certain that Gu Wen will die in the place where he becomes an immortal.

"Everyone has their own life, and becoming an immortal does not conflict with joining a sect at a young age."

"Too."

It took Xiao Yunyi three days to repair Gu Wen's dilapidated house inside and out, and he also added a lot of new furniture.

He used swordsmanship and displayed extremely delicate carpentry skills.

He said: "In the land of immortality, all creatures become mortals, otherwise I can build you a house that will last for a thousand years."

Gu Wen looked at the newly renovated house and said with great satisfaction, "It's enough for me to use for a few more decades."

Wooden houses cannot be lived in for long, at least for him, they often break down in the blink of an eye.

"When will Brother Xiao leave?"

"Three years later, I will stay until the Immortal Realm is closed."

Xiao Yunyi stayed there. Gu Wen, who had lived alone for many years, was very happy to have a companion. He pulled Xiao Yunyi aside to discuss Taoism. Later, the other party could not keep up with his pace, so he started to teach him.

He taught the other party the true meaning of swordsmanship, allowing him to take the last half step that he failed to take that year.
-
The cycle of spring and autumn lasts another three years.

On the winter solstice, there is no snow in the south, the weather is gloomy and dull, and the cold wind makes people shiver.

In the dark, an inexplicable throbbing was urging all the monks to leave, and their lifespans were disappearing like quicksand.

Xiao Yunyi and Gu Wen walked out of the house. The former couldn't help sighing when seeing this. The chance to become an immortal was about to end, and the law of all things becoming mortals would reach its peak, coupled with the impact of the lifespan disaster.

Even if a half-immortal stayed for a long time, he would die here, and this should have been a killing calamity aimed at Qingcang.

"Brother Xiao, it's time to go."

Gu Wen looked calm and patted his shoulder.

Xiao Yunyi showed a sad look on his face and said, "Will we still be able to meet after this?"

"Will do."

Gu Wen nodded calmly and affirmatively.

Rumble!
A little light appeared in the dim sky, and then it seemed as if a pair of invisible hands tore the sky apart. A thin line of light appeared in the vast sky, and the nine layers of heaven were visible.

A rainbow bridge slowly stretches across the fairyland and the sky.

"Go."

Xiao Yunyi looked back every few steps, then stepped on his sword and turned into light and left, walking very fast as if he was running away.

Gu Wen stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky, his calm eyes reflecting the colorful light in the sky.

Countless lights rose into the sky from all directions. They were the chosen ones of heaven. They spread their wings and flew high like carp leaping over the dragon gate. Only at this moment, they did not need to become immortals to fly to the sky.

However, the only immortal of this young generation was standing in the mud, with countless white jade auras entwined around him like shackles.

On the Rainbow Bridge, countless geniuses stood, and the humans and demons gathered together. They looked back at the small world beneath their feet.

There is a high probability that they will never come back again.

"Welcome the genius to the city!"

At the end of the Rainbow Bridge, a resounding voice was heard. The gate of Liangjie City slowly opened.

Everyone filed in, and suddenly the sky and earth were filled with mysterious light, and flowers cheered in numbers.

The elders from various sects looked at their own geniuses who had achieved great success in Taoism and laughed heartily. They boasted and flattered each other. It was truly a feast for the geniuses.

That is the genius of our clan, and this is the holy son of our sect. He must be a prodigy born from heaven, rare to appear in ages.

Countless praises overwhelmed them and pushed them to the top of the three lists of man, earth and heaven. They looked up and saw two large gold-plated characters at the top of the list.

The sound of the void was transmitted thousands of miles across the universe. Lang Lang said:
"No. 1 on the Human Ranking, Gu Wen."

"No. 1 on the Earth Ranking, Gu Wen."

"No. 1 on the Heavenly Ranking, Gu Wen."

After saying this, Wukong’s voice disappeared and he did not continue to read out the names of the other geniuses.

In an instant, the geniuses who were bathing in praise and flowers suddenly woke up. The three stone tablets seemed to have turned into an ordinary man, who looked back at them slightly.

Where does the favored one come from? They are just clouds in the moonlight.

When will the bright moon rise and when will the floating clouds disappear?
