Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Zhang Xiaofan listened to Dao Xuan Zhenren's words and shook his head, saying:

"Sect Master, you should say that I will definitely succeed in becoming a True Immortal!"

Dao Xuan Zhenren: "..."

Dao Xuan Zhenren glared at Zhang Xiaofan and said:

"It's not that I lack confidence in you; on the contrary, I have great confidence in your abilities and your perseverance."

"However, for tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to become an immortal. Even the peerless genius, Ancestor Qingye, with his extraordinary talent, had no chance of becoming an immortal. Even if your aptitude is stronger than Ancestor Qingye's, you have no hope of becoming an immortal."

"So, you might as well not become an immortal. Just be the head of Qingyun Sect, the leader of the righteous path, the number one person in the righteous path, the number one person in the world, and let all kinds of glory be bestowed upon you."

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand, his eyes resolute, and said:

"Master Uncle, I will definitely become an immortal. We'll ride donkeys and read scripts, and we'll see."

“Alright, we’ll see,” Dao Xuan Zhenren replied, extending his hand to Zhang Xiaofan.

"Snapped!"

The two immediately gave each other a high five and smiled at each other.

"Squeak!"

Just then, a sound came from the door of the secret room.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Buyi and Su Ru appeared at the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Xiaofan and Dao Xuan Zhenren turned around to look at the two.

Tian Buyi looked nervously at Dao Xuan Zhenren before him, not rushing to ask Zhang Xiaofan if he had successfully expelled the malevolent energy. Instead, he first bowed respectfully to Dao Xuan Zhenren and said...

"Sect Leader, it's so good to see you awake."

"Yes, Junior Brother Tian, ​​you've worked hard these past few days," Dao Xuan Zhenren said with a slight nod.

Tian Buyi sized up Dao Xuan Zhenren before him, noticing that his expression was as calm yet dignified as ever. His eyes were deep and wise. He then looked at Zhang Xiaofan and asked:
"Did you make it?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiaofan nodded and then said:

"Although the malevolent energy has been dispelled, the sect leader has lost all his cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi's expression shifted between worry and joy.

The good news is that Dao Xuan Zhenren's fierce aura is gone, but the bad news is that Dao Xuan Zhenren has lost his astonishing cultivation; it's hard to imagine how painful that must be for him.

I'm afraid Dao Xuan is already in immense pain right now.

After all, just a moment ago he was the leader of the righteous path, the number one person in the world.

Now, he's just an ordinary person; how can anyone accept that?

In fact, many people become depressed and some even lose confidence due to the blow.

"Alas!" Thinking of this, Tian Buyi sighed deeply, looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren, and said:

"Sect Master Uncle, although you have lost all your cultivation, the Qingyun Sect needs you. Please take good care of yourself."

"Take care?" Dao Xuan Zhenren murmured, his deep eyes looking at Tian Buyi, and asked:
"Junior Brother Tian, ​​what do you mean by that?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi gritted his teeth and said:

"Sect Leader, please don't do anything rash and try to kill yourself..."

Dao Xuan Zhenren was taken aback upon hearing this, then flicked his sleeve and said:

"Why would I want to die? It's just that I've lost all my cultivation; I can just cultivate it back up."

As Tian Buyi listened, he observed Dao Xuan Zhenren's expression and found that he was calm and did not show any great emotions.

This cultivation of inner strength is truly superb. His senior brother, the sect leader, not only possessed unparalleled, unparalleled cultivation in ancient times, but also had exceptional inner strength cultivation. He exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, it's good that you think this way. I was worried you wouldn't be able to withstand it..."

The word "death" was on the tip of Tian Buyi's tongue, but he felt it was unlucky and wouldn't sound good if he said it, so he swallowed it back.

"That's right!" Tian Buyi suddenly remembered something and looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren, saying:
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, now that you have successfully expelled the malevolent energy, you should return to Tongtian Peak as the Qingyun Sect Leader and take charge of the overall situation."

Upon hearing this, Dao Xuan Zhenren simply waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, forget it. Now that I've lost all my cultivation, it's no longer appropriate for me to be the head of the Qingyun Sect."

Tian Buyi said excitedly, "Sect Leader, even if you lose all your cultivation, you can still cultivate again and return to your peak in a few decades."

"Moreover, although you have lost your Taiqing cultivation, your prestige among the Qingyun disciples is unparalleled. Even without your cultivation, you can still be a good Qingyun Sect Leader. And no one will object."

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​you are wrong!" The Rebounding Immortal said slowly, his hands behind his back:

"The demonic path is rampant now, with many powerful figures. Especially the Ghost King of the Ghost King Sect. This man is a man of great talent and ambition, unfathomable. And his ambition is immense."

"I fear that in the future, the Ghost King will surely lead many demons of the Demonic Sect to attack Qingyun Sect."

"At that time, without any cultivation, how can I possibly defeat the demonic sect's fiends in front of hundreds of desperate Qingyun disciples?"

"Who knows, he might be killed by a single palm strike from a demonic cult member. At that time, Qingyun will be in grave danger."

"Therefore, one must possess profound Taoist skills to become the head of the Qingyun Sect."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi lowered his eyelids.

He knew that Dao Xuan Zhenren was right.

Now that the righteous path has declined while the demonic path has risen, the righteous sects suffered heavy casualties during the Beast God's attack on the mountain. The demonic sect is very likely to take advantage of this weakness and attack the Qingyun Sect in a short period of time.

There is no way a Qingyun sect leader without any cultivation could lead his disciples to defeat the demonic sect and protect the Qingyun sect.

Dao Xuan Zhenren observed Tian Buyi's expression and knew that the other party had taken it to heart, so he spoke again:

"I have been the head of Qingyun Sect for over three hundred years, and I am tired. Without my cultivation, I can't even defeat an ordinary demon from the Demonic Sect. It's time for me to rest."

"Therefore, you should continue to serve as the acting leader of Qingyun Sect. Once Xiaofan has given up on becoming an immortal, then we can let him become the leader."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi immediately cupped his hands in a salute and said:

"I will obey the sect leader's order."

Then, Tian Buyi looked around and suddenly said:
"Sect Leader, what are you going to do next?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at the wall, then at the direction of Tongtian Peak, and said:

“My poor junior brother Wan Jianyi has been alone in the ancestral hall for more than three hundred years. He even turned into a decrepit old man before. I should go and keep this unfortunate junior brother company. In addition, now that I have lost my cultivation, it will be good for him to protect me.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi thought for a moment and decided that this was the best solution at present, so he said:

"In that case, Senior Brother Sect Leader, I will take you to the Ancestral Shrine on Tongtian Peak."

Dao Xuan Zhenren waved his hand and said, "Not now. Let's go tonight. Just pretend I've already disappeared from Qingyun Sect."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan said:
"Master Uncle, I'll take you to the Ancestral Temple tonight. We can have a good drink together, along with Lao Wan."

"Hmph!" Suddenly, Dao Xuan Zhenren let out a light snort, his expression serious.
"All he does is drink all day long, where is the demeanor of the number one prodigy of Qingyun..."

At this point, Dao Xuan Zhenren leaned down and whispered in Zhang Xiaofan's ear, "..."

Is it good wine?

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback by Dao Xuan Zhenren's actions, and then replied softly:

"There's plenty to go, and the taste will definitely not disappoint you."
