……

However, as Yuan Tiangang continued to explain, Wu Wen realized that he had misunderstood.

When he said that his master didn't want him to live, he didn't mean to actually kill him.

Instead, he is required to abandon his physical body and become a corpse-reincarnated immortal, or return to his ancestral temple and become an earthly immortal.

"Why?" Wu Wen looked at Yuan Tiangang puzzledly and asked.

Yuan Tiangang sighed and said, "I didn't know it before, until today when I was 'forced' by my master to become an immortal, I finally knew one thing."

His eyes were cold and he paused for a moment: "In this world, immortals are not allowed to exist!"

"Human immortal?" After hearing this unfamiliar word, Wu Wen thought for a moment and then asked again, "What is a human immortal?"

Yuan Tiangang replied: "A human immortal is an immortal with an immortal body!"

He raised his hands, looked down at his body, and continued, "After taking the elixir of immortality, this body of mine has acquired some immortal properties."

As he spoke, Yuan Tiangang pulled out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and cut his arm with force. The tough stratum corneum was broken, leaving a tiny wound on his arm.

However, in just a blink of an eye, the wound on his arm did not split open, but instead stuck together and healed at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at this situation, Wu Wen frowned immediately.

Yuan Tiangang's physical recovery speed is more than one level lower than the super recovery ability of his body after his transformation.

Therefore, if it is said that Yuan Tiangang's body only possesses some immortal characteristics, then his body is already close to immortality.

"Why aren't human immortals allowed to exist?" Wu Wen asked.

"Because, God!"

Yuan Tiangang's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no room for immortals in this world. This is the rule set by the gods."

Smart people always think more when they encounter things.

The master urged Yuan Tiangang to become a corpse-reincarnated immortal or an earth-reincarnated immortal, and Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but think about the problem.

Becoming an immortal was something he would definitely do in the future, but the time was not yet ripe.

Because becoming an immortal, although life span is extended, it also means losing something.

Therefore, he doesn't want to become an immortal at this moment.

The more the master urged him, the more doubts Yuan Tiangang became.

So he went to consult various books.

Finally, some clues were found in some ancient books.

Putting this information together, he came to the conclusion: God!

"God?" Wu Wen whispered it softly while listening to Yuan Tiangang's explanation.

"Is there really a God in this world?" he asked again.

When hearing Wu Wen's question, Yuan Tiangang kept silent, as if this involved a taboo.

What is God?
In Wu Wen's understanding, the difference between gods and immortals is that gods exist innately, while immortals are achieved through acquired cultivation.

Now he has come into contact with immortality.

But are there really innate beings like God in this world?

Suddenly, Wu Wen thought of the sacrificial spirits at the sacrificial site in the Turkic Dajin Mountain!
Gods can be not only living beings that exist naturally, but also sacrificial spirits that are born through sacrifices, which can also be called gods.

Compared with Taoism as a whole, the incense at the Turkic sacrificial sites is like streams and the sea.

The sacrificial spirits can be born in all the sacrificial sites of the Turks.

Then wouldn't the Taoist ancestral temple be able to give birth to more powerful sacrificial spirits?
Isn’t this the Taoist god?

Taoism is only a small part of the Central Plains sacrificial culture.

Since the beginning of history, the descendants of Yan and Huang on the land of China have never stopped worshiping heaven and earth.

The earth itself is a huge magnetic field, which is equivalent to having innate conditions.

In this situation, if a sacrificial spirit was also born, wouldn’t it be a god-like existence?

The more Wu Wen thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

If it is created through sacrifice, then this deity is born from the consciousness of all living beings.

The rules set by the gods are the will of all living beings.

It’s like the emperor cannot live forever.

No one wants the emperor to live forever, so under the will of all living beings, God will make this rule: the emperor cannot live forever.

So, how did this rule that human immortals are not allowed to exist come about?

Just when Wu Wen was lost in thought.

Yuan Tiangang reminded him, "Wu Wen, my uncle's situation is urgent. Please send me to the Western Region as soon as possible."

"Uncle-master, I have another question to ask you. Since it is the request of our great-grandmaster and it is also a good thing for becoming an immortal, why are you resisting?" Wu Wen asked calmly.

Hearing this question, Yuan Tiangang stared at Wu Wen in silence for a long time before he began to explain:

"Among all Taoist practitioners, there is a rule that all immortals are not allowed to participate in worldly affairs."

"And I still have some important things to do, so I can't become an immortal yet."

After listening to his explanation, Wu Wen nodded slightly.

Having stayed in the Tang Dynasty for so long, he had indeed never seen, or even heard of, any immortal being involved in worldly affairs.

You know, there are many corpse-reincarnated immortals in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and even several ancestors who have ascended to heaven.

Even if they want to interfere in worldly affairs, they do so by recruiting disciples.

As for what Yuan Tiangang said about having important things to do, Wu Wen did not ask any more questions.

Since Yuan Tiangang didn't say it directly, the other party would not answer even if he asked. This must be a very secret matter.

"Okay, Master Yuan, tomorrow I will arrange for you to join a caravan from Dingxiang heading to the Western Regions."

Wu Wen said, and then he suddenly asked: "By the way, Uncle Yuan, where are you going to the Western Regions?"

Yuan Tiangang thought for a moment, then answered, "Kucha."

Hearing this place name, Wu Wen couldn't help but think of the Four Towns of Anxi, which were established in the most remote western border after the Tang Dynasty conquered the Western Regions.

Kucha is one of them.

Wu Wenxian arranged for Yuan Tiangang to stay.

Waiting to set off tomorrow. But that very night.

The master who came in search of Yuan Tiangang appeared in Dingxiang City.

He was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, a pair of cloth shoes, and holding a dark green bamboo staff in his hand.

Although he had shoulders full of silver hair, his body was very strong, the skin on his face was delicate and soft, like a child's, and there was always a amiable smile on the corners of his mouth.

When he quietly arrived at the palace gate, the guards guarding the gate seemed unaware of his presence.

He leaped up, his body floated lightly, and in a flash he was on the palace wall.

The bamboo stick in his hand lightly tapped the wall. With the help of the moonlight and the Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, he looked like an immortal and slowly descended into the palace wall.

Looking up and forward, the master seemed to be able to lock onto Yuan Tiangang's location and walked straight towards where he lived.

When he came outside the side hall.

Wu Wen, who noticed someone breaking in, also came here.

The two men stood on the left and the right, looking at each other.

The door to the side suddenly opened, and Yuan Tiangang, who was hidden in a black robe, walked out of the door and saluted to the master, "Master!"

See this.

Wu Wen also raised his hand and saluted respectfully: "Wu Wen, I pay my respects to the Grandmaster!"

The master nodded slightly and asked kindly, "Whose disciple are you?"

"In reply to Grandmaster, my disciple's master is Li Chunfeng." Wu Wen replied respectfully.

"Oh, it's that little guy." The master smiled and nodded.

Then, he held the bamboo stick in his hand and said to Yuan Tiangang in a deep voice: "Why don't you follow me back?"

Wu Wen looked at Yuan Tiangang helplessly and apologized, "Uncle Yuan, it's not that I don't want to help you, but since our Grandmaster has come in person, I have no choice."

Yuan Tiangang nodded in understanding, then turned to his master and said firmly: "Master, I cannot go back with you. Please forgive me for my disobedience!"

As he spoke, he suddenly attacked his master. He flew forward, stretched out a palm, and used all his strength, enveloping the airflow around his body and pouring it out like a torrent.

However, when Yuan Tiangang struck the master on the chest, the master flew backwards like a piece of paper, floated lightly in the air for a few times, and then fell to the ground unscathed.

Being attacked by Yuan Tiangang, the master was not angry, but said with emotion: "Fool, come back with me. Li Shimin was only an emperor for one term, how could he be worthy of your loyalty?"

However, Yuan Tiangang seemed not to have heard it and continued to attack with all his strength.

Wu Wen stood quietly aside, watching the fight between the two men, with no intention of getting involved.

Yuan Tiangang kept attacking, but the master didn't make any counterattack or defense, just took all his attacks.

The gap between the two men was immediately clear.

Wu Wen looked at his master with deep eyes. Judging from his performance, his ability could definitely be described as unfathomable.

Before figuring out his abilities, Wu Wen didn't dare to say whether he could defeat him in a fight.

After Yuan Tiangang attacked several more times, he knew very well that he was no match for his master. He attacked with all his strength once more, and after repelling his master, he immediately withdrew and fled into the distance.

However, the next scene suddenly made Wu Wen's pupils shrink, and his whole body tensed up as he watched seriously.

The master saw Yuan Tiangang trying to escape.

He then took out the bamboo stick in his hand.

The hard dark green bamboo stick became soft like a rope when it flew towards Yuan Tiangang, and immediately tied him up when it touched Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang immediately used the technique of escaping from the black robe and continued to flee into the distance.

The master was not surprised to see this.

He lightly kicked off with his toes and leaped lightly towards Yuan Tiangang, grabbing the bamboo stick in mid-air, and it became hard again.

The master threw out his azure Taoist robe again.

When the Taoist robe flew out of his hand, it seemed to have a spirit. It spread out in the wind and covered the fleeing Yuan Tiangang like a giant net.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Tiangang threw out a dagger from his sleeve, held it in his palm, and slashed it hard at the Taoist robe in front of him, directly cutting a hole in the middle of it, and then he crawled out from the middle.

However, the torn Taoist robe miraculously healed itself, and the damaged parts connected and merged with each other like water, becoming intact again.

Wu Wen looked at the magical scenes before him and felt as if his horizons were suddenly opened up and he had seen a new world.

A bamboo stick that can soften or harden, and a Taoist robe that can heal itself automatically after being damaged.

How is this done?
Is this what they call the method used by immortals?

After two consecutive unsuccessful attempts to capture him, the master did not continue to chase him. Instead, he took back his Taoist robe, put it on, and then, holding the bamboo stick, quietly watched Yuan Tiangang run farther and farther away.

Seeing this, Wu Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How could this master come here to arrest Yuan Tiangang? This is too much.

If he were to make a serious move, Yuan Tiangang would have no chance of escaping today.

"Master!"

Seeing Yuan Tiangang completely disappear into the darkness, Wu Wen stepped forward and saluted again.

The master simply nodded slightly in response, then turned and left without saying a word.

Wu Wen couldn't help but feel regretful. He had wanted to get close to his master and build a relationship with him so that he could take a look at the bamboo stick and Taoist robe in his hand and explore what was so magical about them.

After the master left, Wu Wen also returned to his residence.

However, not long after, Yuan Tiangang returned to him again.

"Uncle Yuan? Why are you back again?" Wu Wen asked in surprise.

"The Western Regions are vast. Without someone to lead me, I can't go to Qiuci." Yuan Tiangang sighed.

Hearing this, Wu Wen couldn't help but chuckle.

The geographical environment of the Western Regions is extremely complex. If you are not familiar with the route and go there rashly, you will easily get lost and be buried by wind and sand.

"Uncle Master, what exactly are the bamboo stick and Taoist robe in Grand Master's hand? Why are they so magical?" Wu Wen couldn't wait to ask about his previous doubts.

"It is a magical weapon made of spiritual materials, so it has a thousand different abilities." Yuan Tiangang explained.

"Uncle Master, can you tell me in detail?" Wu Wen asked curiously.

Yuan Tiangang shook his head slightly: "I know very little about magic weapons. I only know that they are made of extremely precious spiritual materials."

As he told Wu Wen what he knew.

Wu Wen immediately reacted and realized that this spiritual material is just a nanomaterial.
