Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 296 A Girl's Heart Changes
Wuzhan reached out to catch it, then threw the jade pendant back, "If I accept it, it would mean I have ulterior motives and would be disloyal to Your Majesty. Saint Envoy Ye, please take it back."

Ye Xiaoxiang took back the jade pendant and smiled slightly, saying, "Sir, you are really cautious, but my Nitian Sect will not be in a hurry."

When everyone saw this, some nodded in admiration, some were envious, but there were many people who were secretly jealous.

Yun Meng looked at Long Quan and sighed, "I remember the last Taoist Conference. Long Quan was full of vigor and vitality. His 'Rainbow Piercing the Sun' move shocked the whole audience and won endless praise from fellow Taoists. He was praised as a prodigy that appears once in a century and was most likely to break through the bottleneck and become an immortal. Time flies. Twenty years have passed in a flash. I never thought that the Taoist would return to the mortal world now. We Taoists are really sad to see him go!"

Longquan shook his head and sighed, "I was also wandering in the realm of scattered immortals, but I could never achieve it. That's why I followed the national teacher to find another way to break through."

Fei Jian laughed and said, "It seems that the master is about to make a breakthrough?" This sentence was obviously sarcastic.

Longquan laughed dryly and said, "Although not yet, it will be soon."

Fei Jian bowed and congratulated, "Congratulations to you, Master."

Yunmeng ordered his disciples to bring chairs and put them on one side of the Taoist temple, inviting Liefeng and others to sit down. Liefeng was not polite at all and sat down with Longquan and others, staring at Wuzhan.

Seeing that the originally planned plan was disrupted by Lie Feng, Ye Xiaoxiang saw that there was no need to continue playing it out, so he leaped up and turned into a red cloud, floating down to the side of the Taoist temple, and sat on a rattan chair that had been prepared long ago. On both sides of him, four women from the Nitian Sect held umbrellas for him, looking quite noble and beautiful.

Yunmeng looked at Feijian, and the two of them walked back to their seats. They knew that these two groups of people were obviously up to no good and they needed to be more careful.

Seeing that everyone around him had quieted down, Linyazi shouted, "Please ask the Taishan Sect Master, Bixia Yuanjun, to teach us the Dao!"

Bixia, dressed in a green robe, walked slowly towards the center of the dojo. Although she looked pure and innocent, she had the majesty of a master, which made people around her have to respect her. There was a mat in the center, and Bixia sat down cross-legged. The disciples from various sects around her also sat on the ground around Bixia.

Bixia's voice was pure, and she spoke at a moderate pace, getting straight to the point: "The Great Dao is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and earth. The Great Dao is ruthless, moving the sun and the moon. The Great Dao is nameless, nourishing all things. I don't know its name, so I call it the Dao. There is clarity and turbidity, movement and stillness. The sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the sky moves and the earth is still. It descends from the root and flows to the end, and all things come into being. The clarity is the source of the turbidity, and the movement is the basis of the stillness. If people can always be clear and pure, the heaven and the earth will all return to them..."

What Bixia taught was Taishan's "Purifying Heart Mantra", a method of cultivation that is the foundation for spiritual practice and enlightenment. Although various schools have dabbled in it, none of them understood it as thoroughly and specifically as Bixia did. After listening to it, I had a deep understanding.

Wuzhan listened to Bixia's preaching attentively, because among all the famous Taoist sects, the one he respected the most was Bixia Yuanjun, who cared about the common people without saying it, and had a cold appearance but a kind heart. Otherwise, Wuzhan would not have chosen Bixia Yuanjun to kill himself after he turned into a demon three years ago.

Choosing someone to kill yourself shows how much trust you have in that person.

But they don't know how devastating it is to kill someone they care about. Although Bixia is teaching the "Heart Purification Mantra", her heart is no longer always pure.

Before she knew it, Bixia had finished explaining the mental method and said clearly, "This is the mental method that my Taishan disciples practice. If there are any mistakes, please point them out!"

The disciples of various sects looked around, nodded in praise, and applauded. Yunchu said happily, "Yuanjun's teaching is very good. I have learned it all." She glanced at Wuzhan and said, "It's just that I am still a little bit behind Master!"

Wuzhan said: "How about I ask Yuanjun to accept you as her disciple?"

Yunchu said unhappily: "Master, you want to abandon your disciple again. Master, please give up this idea in the future. I will follow you forever."

Wuzhan shook his head and said nothing. In fact, Yunchu was really suitable for practicing in Mount Tai, and he really had this idea.

Qin Moyao turned her head and glanced at Yunchu, and her eyes met Yunchu's. She didn't say anything, but just glanced at her calmly. However, this look made Yunchu extremely uncomfortable, so she had to lower her head and sulk.

After Bixia returned to her seat, Qin Moyao stood up and walked towards the center of the dojo with lotus steps. She was undoubtedly the youngest among the many leaders, and she was beautiful and charming, which made many men's hearts beat fast. But looking at her appearance and temperament, they absolutely did not believe the rumors about her, especially Yu Guizhou's feelings for her, which was known to everyone. However, even if they knew it, it did not affect the attention of those men. They could only take a look and dared not try it.

Qin Moyao's eyes changed, as if they were on fire, and became firm. Yu Guizhou saw it clearly from behind Feijian, and felt extremely disappointed. He could feel that Qin Moyao had come out of the pain, but that fiery gaze was not directed at him.

Qin Moyao also said clearly: "The technique I want to teach you today is not the Emei Heart Technique, but the "Eternal Life Secret" left to me by my father."

This statement shocked the whole audience. It was rumored that Qin Moyao's father was the murderer Han Xiaoting, who had lived for a thousand years. The bloody incident twenty years ago was caused by many people who wanted to obtain his immortality method. "Is this true?" Many people did not believe their ears. That method was what the cultivators dreamed of. Although obtaining it could not make them immortal, they could live forever.

"It should be good. Han Xiaoting must have passed on this method of longevity to her daughter before she died."

"Will she really pass on the "Secret of Immortality" to us?" One should know that the sects that come to this Taoist conference are not just the ones that have joined the alliance, there are also some small sects and individual practitioners. If the "Secret of Immortality" is taught here, it will undoubtedly be announced to the world and everyone can learn it.

Ye Xiaoxiang raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Qin Moyao. She knew that Qin Moyao was the daughter of Han Xiaoting, the Dharma King of the Nitian Sect. She had sent people to Emei to invite her to join the sect, but was rejected by Qin Moyao. It was obvious that she had drawn a clear line between herself and the Nitian Sect, and then nothing happened. "She actually got the "Eternal Life Secret"!"

Although the Nitian Sect has a large number of techniques for its followers to practice, these superior techniques are privately owned by the Dharma King and the elders, and no one has the right to force them to hand them over unless they voluntarily want to hand them over or pass them on to others.

Han Xiaoting obviously did not hand over the "Eternal Life Secret" to the Nitian Sect, which was also something that the elders in the sect regretted.

One of them asked excitedly: "Master Qin, will you really pass on the "Eternal Life Secret" to us?"

Qin Moyao said: "Since we want to revive the Taoist sect and establish an alliance, the sects should not have selfish intentions and should show sincerity. What's the use of one person's immortality? The immortality of all people in the world is a blessing. Taoism is not exclusive to one person. It belongs to those who desire to pursue it and to all people in the world. Taoism is selfless and everyone has it."

One of them shouted excitedly: "Master Qin, well said!"

Someone echoed, "This is what it means to be selfless. What Sect Leader Qin did today must be the act of a saint..."

The exclamations of praise came one after another continuously, and no one cared about the rumors about Qin Moyao.

Yun Meng stroked his beard and nodded in approval, saying to Fei Jian, "The Dao is selfless, and everyone has it. You and I are ashamed of ourselves for having such a heart!"

Fei Jian said: "It seems that the position of leader has been decided!"

Wuzhan couldn't help but look at Qin Moyao, his black pupils shrank, and he thought to himself: "Will she really do that?" This "Eternal Life Secret" was given to Qin Moyao by him, and Wuzhan knew its content best, as it was roughly the same as the secret he gave to Xiao Yuzhen.

After everyone had calmed down, Qin Moyao said slowly with a solemn expression and a clear voice: "The Tao has no life and death, but the form has life and death. The reason why life and death belongs to the form, not the Tao. The reason why the form lives is because it obtains the Tao. The reason why the form dies is because it loses the Tao. If people can keep alive and keep the Tao, they will live forever. If people always keep their hearts pure and quiet, the Tao will come to them. If the Tao comes to them, the spirit will exist in their bodies, and they will live forever. People always want to live, but cannot be empty. People often hate death, but cannot protect their spirits. The Tao is obtained by the heart, and the heart is enlightened by the Tao. When the heart is enlightened, the Tao will descend, and when the Tao descends, the heart will be connected..."

There was dead silence all around, and everyone listened attentively, afraid of missing a word. Some of the more careful people took notes.

Qin Moyao taught the "Eternal Life Secret" word for word. Every time Yunmeng, Feijian and others heard the insightful parts, they nodded in admiration for the exquisiteness of this method. Many of the conclusions were beyond their understanding in their entire lives, which was like an epiphany for them.

The only person who listened least attentively was Yunchu, because the "Eternal Life Secret" had been passed on to her without any telling her what it was. She thought to herself, "What's the point of this method? Master knows a lot about it, and his explanations are many times more detailed than yours." She was very angry at Qin Moyao. It was Yunchu who took care of Qin Moyao while she was recuperating in southern Xinjiang. But when she saw her, she not only didn't express any gratitude, but acted like a stranger. Now she couldn't stand Qin Moyao's condescending attitude, but she knew in her heart that Qin Moyao was jealous, and her attitude towards her was no different from Mengya's.

Qin Moyao said: "This is the entire content of the "Eternal Life Secret". I have passed it on to you. Whether you can achieve immortality depends on your personal understanding and practice. If you have no questions, I will go back."

Everyone paused for a long while, and suddenly there was thunderous applause. They didn't expect that they would easily hear the method of immortality by participating in this conference. What's more, it is certain that there is absolutely no problem with this method, because there are so many powerful people listening. If there is any falsehood, it will definitely be questioned. However, no one has questioned it from beginning to end, which shows that those powerful people have full faith in this method.

Someone shouted, "Alliance Leader Qin!" Then the shouts became louder and louder, one wave higher than the other. At this moment, in the hearts of these people, Qin Moyao was like the goddess who saved them.

Qin Moyao didn't care. She smiled slightly and walked back to her seat amid the shouting. She was greeted with continuous praise from Yun Meng and others. Qin Moyao responded to them one by one, appearing very humble.

After Qin Moyao sat down, she whispered to Wuzhan, "Don't you want to say something to me?"

Wuzhan shook his head and said, "I'm just a spectator, and I have nothing to say."

Yun Chu covered her mouth and chuckled behind her back. After meeting Qin Moyao's sharp gaze, she put her hand down and turned her head to look elsewhere. She felt very comfortable. This was also a deliberate revenge on Qin Moyao to make Qin Moyao not be too proud.
