Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 684: Becoming an Immortal is not limited by age. Taber still has hope at the age of
The inauguration ceremony of He Songling as the head of the Trinity Sect was a complete success.

Everyone was quite satisfied, perhaps not completely satisfied, but basically everyone benefited, especially since the Sanyi Sect had such a living immortal here. I'm afraid that the attitude of the extraordinary people in the circle towards the Sanyi Sect and He Songling will be closer in the future.

Afterwards, He Songling kept Zhang Zhiwei and Taber alone and talked to them a few more words.

He knew that Taber's realm was very high, but there was a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over, which led to his attitude towards the world and "power" being to keep a distance from them, and even to fear them like the plague.

If he could overcome this, Taber's talent and ability would not be inferior to Zhang Zhiwei's. Without the constraints of the Heavenly Master's degree, he might be able to become an immortal.

Even though he is very old, whether he can achieve enlightenment is never determined by age.

When Ma Yu became Wang Chongyang's disciple, he was already in his forties, and his wife and he lived in harmony, which could be described as a typical layman. He started to learn Taoism at the age of fifty, but he still became the leader of the Seven True Ones of the North, on par with Zhang Boduan, the leader of the Seven True Ones of the South.

As for Zhang Boduan, the man who had clearly become an immortal, he was still an official when he was young. It was not until he was 73 years old that he was demoted due to being implicated in a scandal. He no longer had the desire to advance in the officialdom, and that’s when he began to seek immortality.

It was not until the second year of Xining in the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty that he met a strange man at Tianhui Temple in Chengdu and learned the secret of the golden elixir. That year, Zhang Boduan was 85 years old.

Six years later, when he was 91 years old, he finished writing his masterpiece "Wu Zhen Pian", which was considered as the foundation of Taoism. He continued to practice Taoism in the mountains of Hanyin. Judging from the distance, the southern part of Qinling Mountains should be the place where the immortal methods of the Twenty-Four Section Valley and the Nine-Turn Panhuan Cave were left.

Because he wrote the "Wuzhen Pian" in his hometown of Taizhou, and later served Ma Mo in Hedong, and then came to Shanxi, so if we calculate based on the time when he became an immortal while practicing Taoism in Hanyin Mountain, the conservative estimate of the time when Zhang Boduan became an immortal is at least over 92 or 93 years old.

Taber is just over sixty this year. At this age, Zhang Boduan is still a dog official in the court, while Taber has already taken a big step on the road to becoming a god, but he is unwilling to go any further.

Therefore, in He Songling's opinion, the possibility of Taber becoming a god is actually not small.

Taber was a good friend of his, a mentor and a friend, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Taber saved his life during the first battle with the Dark Lord. He Songling hoped that he would be well and become a god.

As for Zhang Zhiwei, He Songling was much simpler and more direct.

"What is the Tianshi Degree? Do you know?"

"It's probably clear now." Although Zhang Zhiwei was not the Heavenly Master at this time, Zhang Huaiyi was still around Zhang Jingqing. According to Zhang Zhiwei's own recollections in his later years, as long as Zhang Huaiyi did not become sworn brothers with Wu Gensheng, Zhang Huaiyi had a high probability of inheriting the Heavenly Master position. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwei at this time was not told the specific content of the Heavenly Master degree by Zhang Jingqing.

But even Zhang Chulan could guess the meaning of the Tianshi Degree and the significance behind it. Zhang Zhiwei had been in the Tianshi Mansion since he was a child, and he used the surname Tianshi Zhang. He had always been regarded as the successor of the Tianshi, so how could he not know?

"My opinion is that if you can avoid it, try not to accept it. You don't have to be a Heavenly Master. With your great talent, you are limited by the bullshit rules of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and cannot be taught the complete Five Thunders Orthodox Method in advance, which has delayed the golden period of your strength improvement. But fortunately, you are talented enough and have a good brother like me. You may not be unable to become an immortal without the Five Thunders Orthodox Method, but if you use the Heavenly Master's Degree..." He Songling thought about the scene when Zhang Jingqing fought with him. At that time, Zhang Jingqing did not activate the Heavenly Master's Degree - for a person of Zhang Jingqing's strength, activating the Heavenly Master's Degree would be equivalent to committing suicide on the spot, and he would definitely die earlier than his enemy. But the complete Five Thunders Orthodox Method activated by the sword of the head of the Zhengyi Sect still made him feel a trace of the Taoist rhyme belonging to the first generation of Zhang Tianshi.

Although I couldn't understand it at the time, looking back now, I can understand it.

It was understandable, after all, he was Zhang Tianshi, the leader of the Four Heavenly Masters, who had a place in the Heavenly Palace, and was a close friend of Sun Wukong. How could he break the restrictions left by this guy? Even the dog shook his head.

"I can't help you now anyway."

Zhang Zhiwei was quite casual. "It doesn't matter. It's best if they don't give it to me. I'll take it even if they give it to me. I can't refuse the Heavenly Master's ordination. I've been a monk since I was a child in Longhu Mountain, and my surname is the same as my master's. Now the country is in crisis, and the Heavenly Master's Mansion has suffered heavy casualties. It's the time when we need a powerful Heavenly Master to take the lead and revive the sect. My master said he needs me, so I can't refuse."

"Zhang Huaiyi can't take on this responsibility?" He Songling sneered. What era is this? It's still the idea of ​​a small peasant economy. One family, one surname, one household fighting alone. No matter how powerful you are, what can you do?

Why do we say that the Age of Discovery brought about the rise of a new era and national strength far exceeding that of the old era? Did they dig minerals from the ocean?

Communication and intercommunication are always the most important. Civilizations collide and produce higher levels of progress. Demand stimulates productivity. Stronger productivity drives down costs and prices, which in turn creates broader demand and markets.

Of course, when productivity reaches a certain level and we completely enter into a world of great harmony, that would be a more advanced social form. In this era, we are still far from achieving that goal. Being able to have some mutual circulation is already the most advanced production relationship.

"How about Trinity? Even if I, my master, and even the six elders of the Council of Elders I just appointed are not here today, we are still invincible. If you don't believe me, just ask who dares to come up and try. Times have changed. We can't always look at things with the old perspective. It's enough to have someone who can execute the orders. We have high technology for the rest."

"I hope so." Zhang Zhiwei remained noncommittal. Although he was quite unorthodox, he was not He Songling after all. He would not go to his master and talk to him about productivity and production relations. "Besides, I don't think Huaiyi can do anything. This kid..."

Judging from the tone of Zhang Zhiwei's later teaching of advanced thunder magic to Zhang Chulan and the story of how he knocked down Lu Jin with a slap in the Lu family compound, his love for Zhang Huaiyi is true love, but not special love. He just treats him as an ordinary junior brother, and Zhang Zhiwei treats every junior brother as his own brother.

From his words, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhang Huaiyi's behavior and character of hiding himself from his fellow disciples and even his master.

Given Zhang Huaiyi's personality, Zhang Zhiwei really doubted whether he could treat his disciples as his own people and regard the sect as important as himself after he really succeeded the position of Heavenly Master.

"Just wait and see. Just make up your mind."
