I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Chapter 56 The Secret! The Struggle Between the Dao and the Demon! The Curtain Falls!

Uncle Jiu knew that the Shenxiao Sect knew thunder magic, but no one told him that when the Shenxiao Sect used thunder magic, they would also say the phrase "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

So you weren't an undercover agent from the Taiping Dao to the Shenxiao Sect?

Three years after three years, and you've become the sect leader?

"So strong!!? I knew it was him who caused the thunder that day!"

Awei's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide in an exaggerated way, while Xiao Si's eyes showed not only fear but also a hint of longing.

He originally thought that becoming the security captain, carrying a small pistol, and lording it over the town was already a pretty good life, and that marrying Ren Tingting would be an even better one.

But now, compared to those who cultivate the Tao, my life is nothing!

The person casually summoned a bolt of lightning, and the zombie instantly turned to ashes.

Under that massive bolt of lightning, Old Master Ren was killed instantly without even having a chance to struggle.

Behind Bai Ye, a golden ring of light suddenly appeared, and then wisps of merit power were absorbed into it.

One reason is from eliminating zombies, and the other is from saving others. According to the original fate, Wencai and Uncle Jiu would be infected with zombie poison, Master Ren would die, and innocent people would be bitten to death by zombies. All of this was changed when Bai Ye killed Master Ren. Naturally, this can also be considered as Bai Ye's merit. Although it is pitifully small, it is still a small amount.

Bai Ye, however, was not in the mood to pay attention to such things at the moment; he was currently immersed in the changes that the merits had brought him.

Perhaps it was because it was the first time I had received the baptism of merit.

Bai Ye's strength went directly from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, where he was about to break through to the late stage, to the late stage!

No wonder everyone loves accumulating merit; who doesn't love this stuff?

The merit manifested itself, and the golden light aroused longing in everyone present.

He was only one step away from the peak of Foundation Establishment. After that, he would be able to advance to the Human Master level, which would mean he had completely crossed the threshold of cultivation.

Uncle Nine, standing to the side, stared at Bai Ye in astonishment upon seeing the Ring of Merit. He was actually able to materialize merit.

Could I have guessed wrong?

With this thought in mind, Uncle Nine raised his finger somewhat uncertainly and pointed to the ring of merit behind Bai Ye, asking, "Fellow Daoist, what is this?!"

"It's just good deeds, fellow Daoist, you should count it as unseen merit, right?"

Bai Ye didn't hold anything back. Merit is something that no one can steal from you. In particular, cultivators know that the other person has profound virtue and good fortune, so they are unwilling to provoke them, because the karma may be beyond their ability to bear.

However, Bai Ye felt that Uncle Jiu was different from himself. He needed merit to improve his strength in the later stages, while Uncle Jiu directly turned it into Yin merit, which would make it easier for him to take up a post in the underworld after he died.

"Indeed, it's just a bit surprising that your merits can be materialized, and it's truly beyond imagination that such a cultivation method still exists in this era!"

Uncle Nine didn't dwell on it too much. He was just shocked by Bai Ye's abilities. In fact, he knew that he had accumulated good karma by eliminating the zombies, but he didn't know how much he had done in his previous life.

"By the way, fellow Daoist, are you really from the Way of Peace?"

"No, I'm from the Shenxiao Sect!"

The Divine Firmament School.

Uncle Nine curled his lip, thinking to himself, "So you were just joking around? If those above you saw this scene today, they'd probably hang you up and beat you up when you got up there!"

However, he didn't intend to say anything about Bai Ye's intentions. After all, no matter what, this was Shenxiao Sect's own business, and what did it have to do with Maoshan?

"Um, Taoist priest, has my father's problem been resolved?"

After recovering from his shock, Mr. Ren saw that his father had been struck by lightning and turned into ashes on the ground, but the image of the zombie was still etched in his mind.

So he has to confirm it, otherwise he probably won't be able to get a good night's sleep in the future.

"Mr. Ren, your father's problem has been resolved. You can collect these ashes and rebury him. Don't worry, he can't possibly become a zombie."

Seeing Master Ren's trembling appearance, Uncle Nine shook his head helplessly, then picked up the teacup next to him and prepared to take a sip.

The next second, still worried, Mr. Ren asked again, "What if it turns into a ghost?"

He had hired a Taoist priest to kill his own father. If his father turned into a ghost and came looking for him, wouldn't he suffer a second blow?

"Pfft!" Uncle Nine had just taken a sip of the fine tea Bai Ye had given him, but the next second he spat it all out: "Cough cough. Don't worry, Master Ren, zombies can't turn into ghosts!"

If they've already become zombies, how can they become ghosts?

"That's good. That's good."

At this moment, Master Ren ignored Uncle Jiu's rudeness, as long as his own father didn't come looking for him.

"Awei, hurry up and let the security team outside come in, collect my father's ashes, and then get ready to leave!"

As he spoke, Mr. Ren looked at Uncle Jiu apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Jiu, I should have listened to you during the day."

If Bai Ye hadn't come looking for him during the day, his father might have bitten him to death.

At that time, Mr. Ren was still very opposed to cremation.

Now, things are much better. Cremation is no longer necessary; a bolt of lightning has completely killed his father.

"It's alright, as long as Master Ren doesn't blame us."

Uncle Nine waved his hand, not caring at all, since there were indeed far fewer people who believed in gods and ghosts in this era.

Uncle Nine feels that it's already pretty good that there have been no casualties.

"Then we'll be going now, Daoist Master. I will personally visit you to express my gratitude tomorrow!"

Ren Fa was also exhausted from today's events, and he wanted to go back and rest.

"Dad, are we just leaving like this?"

Ren Tingting tugged at Ren Fa's sleeve, a little scared. The scene from just now was still vivid in her mind. It was midnight; what if they encountered another zombie on the road?!

"Then this."

Ren Fa realized this as well. He had only wanted to go back and rest, but he had forgotten that this world really is full of demons and monsters.

"Why don't we stay at the mortuary tonight?"

"Good good!"

Before Master Ren could even agree, Wen Cai jumped up. If Ren Fa chose to stay here, wouldn't Ren Tingting also stay here?

"That's annoying."

"Uncle Jiu, Master Bai, I also want to stay here. Don't worry, whatever you say goes from now on. With me, Awei, here, I'll be the first to object to anyone who dares to bully you!"

Awei fully displayed his sycophantic nature; leaving was definitely out of the question, but Awei also had his own ulterior motives.

"Fellow Daoist, how about we continue our discussion tonight?"

There's definitely not enough room for so many people to rest here, so Uncle Nine has decided not to rest tonight. Moreover, after witnessing Bai Ye's abilities, he also had the idea of ​​discussing Dao with Bai Ye again.

"good."

"Master, may I listen to Master Bai's story?"

After this incident, Qiu Sheng seems to have matured a bit.

The Heavenly Thunder attack just now stirred a ripple in Qiu Sheng's heart. He suddenly felt that his previous mindset of just getting by was indeed a waste of time. He wanted to cultivate diligently and become a Taoist like Bai Ye!

"Fellow?"

"Can!"

Bai Ye was somewhat surprised. Could that unruly apprentice in the movie mature so quickly?

Could it be just a momentary impulse?

Bai Ye didn't mind; it was just a discussion about the Dao.

"Tingting, you should go and listen to it too."

Ren Fa nudged Ren Tingting, though he was reluctant, he had made his decision.

He didn't want to tie Ren Tingting down because of himself.

After witnessing the Taoist's power, he also realized that Ren Tingting would only ever be a merchant with him, at most marrying a warlord as a concubine. In this chaotic world, Ren Fa didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to a beautiful woman.

With Bai Ye by her side, at least he could protect Ren Tingting.

Moreover, after experiencing this zombie incident, Ren Fa also realized that it was highly likely that his father had been tricked by the feng shui master, which was why he turned into a zombie. The Taoist priest's revenge methods made Ren Fa feel chilled to the bone.

First, he made the Ren family suffer for twenty years, then he turned his own father into a zombie and bit the entire family to death, causing the Ren family to be wiped out. Moreover, they were all killed by Old Master Ren, which is somewhat chilling.

"Dad, me"

“I know what you want to say. Father is not old yet. Master Bai said before that you are suitable for cultivation, so I feel more at ease with you following Master Bai!” Ren Fa grasped Ren Tingting’s hand, then turned to Bai Ye solemnly and said, “Master Bai, I agree on Tingting’s behalf. Please take her up the mountain!”

"No, I will not accept it if I do not agree."

Bai Ye waved his hand. He didn't need Master Ren's consent; he needed Ren Tingting's own willingness.

If you're forced to go up the mountain, then you might as well not join the Shenxiao Sect at all.

"Master Bai, can I still go down the mountain later?"

Ren Tingting gritted her teeth. If she could never go down the mountain in this lifetime, then even if she knew that this might be one of her few chances, she would still give it up, because she would not just abandon her father.

"Of course you can. I'm not asking you to go into seclusion. I'll come down the mountain occasionally."

Hearing Bai Ye's explanation, Ren Tingting was completely relieved.

He then stepped forward, preparing to bow to Bai Ye, but was stopped by Bai Ye in the next second.

"Don't become an apprentice here. If you want to become an apprentice, wait until you return to the Shenxiao Sect and pay your respects in front of all the patriarchs."

Becoming an apprentice is not as simple as kneeling down and saying "Master" and that's it.

All sects must accept disciples in front of the sect's patriarch's tablet and inform the patriarch before doing so. Otherwise, Ren Tingting will not be recognized by the Shenxiao Sect for accepting disciples on her own.

"Alright, stop putting on that act. Those who want to stay can stay, and those who want to rest can go and rest!"

As he spoke, Bai Ye ignored the others. This conversation with Uncle Jiu had made Bai Ye understand some of the merits of Maoshan.

Both sides were quite interested in each other's various approaches.

What Bai Ye was most curious about was exactly what kind of strength Uncle Nine possessed.

There is definitely a mentor, but it seems that the mentor's strength is somewhat lacking when dealing with Old Master Ren, which seems a bit strange.

However, thinking about it, it seems that dealing with him was very simple at first, and it was only after Old Master Ren underwent a transformation that it became very difficult.
