Primordial Era: Unparalleled Comprehension, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Three Immortals

Chapter 47 You're too impatient.

The three sat facing each other. Cao Bao looked at Chen Qing, then glanced at Xiao Sheng.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing glanced at the two of them and spoke calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Cao Bao, Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng, I used to cultivate alone, and there are many things I don't understand on the path of cultivation."

"It's just that I'm cultivating alone, and there's no one to exchange ideas and discuss the Dao with. The difficulties I encounter on the path of self-cultivation can only be put aside, making it difficult for me to make progress on the path."

"Today, I have met you two fellow Daoists. I am afraid that the difficulties I have encountered on my path of cultivation have been resolved. I hope you two will not be stingy with your guidance."

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao burst into laughter upon hearing Chen Qing's words.

"Fellow Daoist is right. In our daily practice, we also discuss and resolve each other's doubts."

"It is an honor for you to come here today, fellow Daoist. If you have any questions about cultivation, please feel free to ask, and we can discuss them together."

Chen Qing smiled as he listened to Cao Bao's polite words.

He laughed because Cao Bao clearly had malicious intentions.

You could tell just by the way he looked at Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao exchanged glances several times, pretending that he hadn't seen anything.

However, since the two were celestial beings, he did not take them seriously.

Seeing that Chen Qing was a terrestrial immortal, and based on what he had just gleaned from him, Cao Bao was convinced that Chen Qing was cultivating alone.

The path of cultivation is too difficult. If he could kill Chen Qing, he might be able to obtain some treasures from Chen Qing, or at the very least, some other rare and precious materials.

You should know that he was extremely envious of Xiao Sheng's precious gold coins.

It was only because Xiao Sheng and he had known each other for many years and helped each other that they had come this far.

Now that Chen Qing has come to our door, how can we not kill him?

Chen Qing was alone, along with the little beast that had little cultivation. He and Xiao Sheng were enough to handle the situation.

The three of them had their own thoughts, but on the surface they were having a pleasant conversation.

Seeing that they had been talking for a while, Cao Bao suggested that they begin to discuss the Dao.

He glanced at Xiao Sheng, indicating that they could begin.

Seeing this, Chen Qing smiled and agreed.

Cao Bao then spoke first, explaining his understanding of the Dao.

Chen Qing listened, but these were just some simple words and were of no use.

However, the show still needs to be performed.

Cao Bao shared his understanding of the Dao, and then Xiao Sheng began to speak.

Both of them spoke of rudimentary principles, lacking any deep understanding.

In Chen Qing's eyes, their understanding of the Dao was like that of a child, still very shallow.

Chen Qing was about to speak when Cao Bao interrupted him.

"Fellow Daoist, you should first discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng. There are fluctuations in the mountain's restrictions; I wonder if any fellow Daoists have come. I'll go and check first."

After saying this, he got up and prepared to leave.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing immediately spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist Cao Bao, please wait a moment. Would you like me to accompany you?"

Cao Bao smiled and waved his hand upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured and continue your discussion with Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng here. There shouldn't be any major problems. I'll go take a look, and if everything is alright, I'll come back."

Xiao Sheng understood from the look in Cao Bao's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, let us discuss the Dao first. If anything happens, Fellow Daoist Cao Bao will call upon us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing said no more and sat down.

"Fellow Daoist Cao Bao, since that's the case, then I will first discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng, and we will discuss it again when you return."

Cao Bao readily agreed to Chen Qing's words, then said a few more words and walked directly out of the pavilion.

Xiao Sheng looked at Chen Qing with a smile, waiting for Chen Qing to begin his story.

After thinking for a while, Chen Qing explained some basic principles.

However, even though it was a rough outline, it was still more profound than what Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao had described.

Xiao Sheng listened to Chen Qing's words and agreed with them quite a bit, laughing out loud every now and then.

The two were quite satisfied with their discussion.

After Cao Bao left, he did not go far.

He stood there the whole time, observing Chen Qing's condition.

Seeing Chen Qing and Xiao Sheng chatting happily, he revealed a sinister smile.

"Laugh, laugh, your death is just around the corner."

"I refuse to believe that with my sneak attack, plus the skills of Xiao Sheng and myself, you can't possibly escape."

"You are an Earth Immortal, while Xiao Sheng and I are Celestial Immortals. Our realms are higher than yours, and our strength is greater. When I make my move, it will be the time of your death."

"Once I kill you, I'll see what rare treasures you have."

After waiting for a while, I walked toward the pavilion.

This time, however, it floated on the ground and headed towards the pavilion.

He holds a sword in his right hand, assuming an offensive stance.

Chen Qing was sitting with his back to Cao Bao, so he couldn't see him.

Seeing that Chen Qing did not make a move, Cao Bao thought he had done everything very discreetly. Little did he know that all his actions were being watched by Chen Qing.

When Cao Bao was less than a hundred meters away from Chen Qing, he threw his sword at Chen Qing.

With magical power, the flying sword can travel a hundred meters in an instant.

He laughed heartily, as if he could see the long sword piercing through Chen Qing's body.

The longsword pierced the air and arrived behind Chen Qing in the blink of an eye.

Behind Chen Qing, a protective shield formed by magical power blocked the longsword.

Then he smiled and watched Xiao Sheng retreat rapidly.

"Fellow Daoist Cao Bao, you seem rather impatient. Are you so eager to kill me?"

Cao Bao was momentarily stunned when he saw his longsword being blocked.

After realizing what had happened, Cao Bao looked at Chen Qing with disdain.

"snort!"

"So what if you're on guard?"

"You're merely an Earth Immortal, while we two are Celestial Immortals, far stronger than you. Do you think you can escape?"

Hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Xiao Sheng.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng, do you also want to kill me?"

Xiao Sheng listened to Chen Qing's question and walked over to Cao Bao.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Qing, I have known Fellow Daoist Cao Bao for many years. Since Fellow Daoist Cao Bao has made his decision, I will help him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, that's great."

"I had some concerns before, wondering if killing you two for no reason would increase my karma."

"Now, there's no need to worry."

"You two attacked me first, so the cause and effect have already been set. Killing you is merely settling the score."

"Since it resolves the cause and effect, there is no need to worry about having any karmic burdens."

Cao Bao scoffed at these words.

"Chen Qing, instead of trying to escape, you want to kill the two of us."

"Hahaha!"

"You don't even know your own cultivation level, yet you have the audacity to say you want to kill the two of us."

Cao Bao recalled his longsword and assumed an offensive stance.

Xiao Sheng also drew a long sword, assuming an offensive stance.

Chen Qing looked at the two of them with a mocking expression; he had never taken them seriously at all.
