I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

Good fortune has come again!

And more than last time!

Last time it was a few hundred strands of fortune! This time it has increased tenfold, reaching several thousand strands of fortune!

Bitter tears slid down Zhunti's cheeks and dripped into his mouth. "Bitter! Ahahaha!"

"After hardship comes happiness!"

"The luck entering the tent is increasing each time! There's even good news: Kinnara is about to sever his corpse!"

"Once the corpse is severed, our Western Regions will gain another quasi-saint!"

"That pathetic Chan Sect! Only Master Yuding has reached the Quasi-Saint level!"

Western religion is far superior to the rotten and cowardly Chan religion!

"How can it be described as wonderful?"

Jieyin and Zhunti were extremely pleased, saying, "Kinnara, keep up the good work!"

"Don't rush! Take it one step at a time!"

Kinnara: "Yes!"

And so, a few more years passed!

The population under Kinnara's rule surged to 500,000!

In this remote border region, access to the outside world has been opened!

The local people relied on the mountains for their livelihood and gradually became prosperous!

Kinnara also put forward the concept of "sustainable development"!

There are designated periods for entering the mountains and hunting bans each year!

We cannot exhaust the resources of a resource-intensive endeavor!

At the same time, various fungi are artificially cultivated!

Free-range chickens in the mountains!

At the same time, we are building brand power. Every free-range chicken in the mountains has been raised for two and a half years!

They eat rare mountain delicacies, drink spring water when thirsty, and enjoy succulent meat that can improve their health!

The free-range chicken became an instant hit!

Incidentally, free-range eggs have also become popular!

Even Chang'an sent special people to make the purchases...

The surrounding people continue to prosper!

Kinnara's prestige was at its zenith!

That year, Ashu turned eighteen.

Ashu has grown up and become graceful, lively and beautiful.

The West is gaining more and more fortune!

The villagers are becoming increasingly wealthy!

Kinnara's strategy of "surrounding the capital in the wilderness" continues to advance!

Everything looks perfectly harmonious!

however!

Kinnara has been looking rather worried lately!

Because when I put my hand on Ashu's body while sleeping at night, the throbbing sensation in my Dao heart disappeared!

Kinnara is now at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, only half a step away from being able to sever his corpse!

The commotion of dismembering the corpse abruptly ceased.

Such as knuckles in the throat.

Kinnara was in a very bad mood.

"The world is full of sorrows, and the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, with all living beings deeply trapped in it. My teacher cannot avoid it, and neither can I."

"Teacher, why are you sighing?"

"Haven't things been getting better lately?"

Kinnara shook his head, "Disciple, you don't understand."

Kinnara can't very well say, "I only had the opportunity to break through my cultivation level because of physical contact with you, can I?"

Another busy day!

The setting sun is like blood.

Night deepened.

Ashu tried to fall asleep as usual, but couldn't.

Because in the past, the teachers would always sleep next to me, holding my hand...

Today... the teacher is still sitting quietly.

"Teacher, it's time to go to sleep."

"Go to sleep."

"But my disciple can't sleep."

Why?

Ashu was eighteen years old, no longer at an age of naivety, so she took the initiative to extend her hand and wave it.

Kinnara shook his head and smiled, "Alright, go to sleep."

Kinnara then grabbed Ashu's hand.

Ashu was wide awake. "Teacher, have you been having any worries lately?"

"What worries could a teacher possibly have?"

"It's just a little difficulty encountered in cultivation."

Is it very difficult?

Kinnara paused for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "Cultivating the Tao is difficult, cultivating immortality is difficult. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind."

"How many exceptional talents have been stuck on this path?"

Ashu also began her spiritual practice under Kinnara's tutelage, but her progress was slow.

Kinnara began to admire Li Yu, the First Emperor, whom she had never met.

Whether it's the Shangqing Immortal Method, the Golden Elixir Path, or the Western Wonderful Method, they are all methods of cultivating immortality!

But it's not suitable for humans!

The human race is numerous, but its aptitude and physical strength are weak!

If one does not cultivate the Way of the Fire, forging one's will with the fire and burning away impurities from one's body, even with the supreme cultivation method before one's eyes, it will be difficult to achieve anything significant by relying solely on one's human form.

When Ashu heard her teacher say that cultivating the Tao was difficult, her expression turned melancholy. "Teacher, you haven't changed at all these years... Everyone around you has aged..."

"What if one day... I die of old age...?"

Kinnara smiled calmly, "You have already embarked on the path of cultivation. Once you enter the realm of immortals, your lifespan will be ten thousand years."

"A lifespan of ten thousand years is very long."

"And you, teacher?"

Kinnara: "Um... I am currently at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Theoretically speaking, if I am not killed and robbed of my treasures, I can live as long as the heavens..."

Ashu was even more melancholy, "My aptitude is so poor, even if I become an immortal, I can only accompany my teacher for ten thousand years... and in the end..."

"Just keep practicing!"

"Teacher, didn't you say that cultivating the Tao is difficult...?"

"It becomes difficult after reaching a certain level."

"A terrestrial immortal can easily live for 100,000 years after breaking through to a celestial immortal, and if they advance further to the Taiyi realm, their lifespan is theoretically limitless."

"But I'm afraid... I won't be able to break through and reach that realm..."

"Rest assured! Everything is guided by a teacher!"

hum!

Ah Xiu finally mustered her courage, sat up abruptly, and wrapped her arms around her teacher's waist while wearing only a thin nightgown.

Kinnara's mind went blank, and the long-lost feeling of sudden enlightenment returned!

"My disciple, you want to make new clothes for your master again. Didn't you memorize the measurements...?"

"No! I...don't want to be separated from my teacher." Hot tears dripped onto Kinnara's body!

Kinnara looked somewhat bewildered.

With both hands hanging high in the air, there's nowhere to put them!

The scalding tears contained countless emotions, which were like poison to the Kinnara who was cultivating, corroding his body, penetrating his flesh, and burning his heart!

Silence.

"Teacher, please take me..."

"Nonsense!"

"We are master and disciple!"

"But I've never formally become your apprentice. You said back then that calling me 'benefactor' sounded bad, so you called me 'teacher' instead."

"Nonsense! I am a monk!"

"Teacher, didn't you mention the Buddha of Bliss in the West during your previous sermons?"

"Nonsense!"

"And I, your teacher, don't practice the methods of joy!"

Ashu looked pitiful and said, "Teacher..."

"Even begging won't work!"

"This is a matter of principle!"

Kinnara was drenched in sweat. "Teacher, why isn't the improved version of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra working yet?"

Jieyin and Zhunti: "Isn't this Heart-Cleansing Mantra already quite effective? Where does it need improvement?"

Ashu doesn't know if she can attain immortality!

If you cannot attain immortality, your lifespan is limited!

And youth, in its prime, only lasts a few years!

Ashu wants to give her best years to her teacher!

Instead of waiting until you are old and frail.

anyway!

Ashu would never let go!

With tears streaming down her face, Ashu was full of passionate initiative...

Kinnara wanted to shout, "Stop! You're ruining my cultivation!"

However, he ultimately didn't utter a sound!

Perhaps it was because he couldn't bear to refuse her, and saw Ashu crying...

Perhaps it was a calamity arising from the mortal realm, a destiny ordained for this event...

Anyway!

Kinnara's unwavering resolve to uphold the Dao is slowly dissolving!

After one night.

Kinnara's pure and abundant primordial yang energy has undergone a change!

It has transformed from a purely yang state into a state of yin-yang harmony!

A qualitative change in one's own aura!

A quasi-saint from a single corpse, a natural and effortless achievement!

It was broad daylight!

Kinnara suddenly opened his eyes, showing no joy at breaking through to the Corpse-Slaying Realm, but rather panic!

Thinking back to last night's crazy antics...

"Oh no! I... Kinnara... broke the precepts..."

"What should we do?"

Ashu woke up too!

Ashu had already embarked on the path of cultivation, and then suddenly obtained the primordial yang of Kinnara, a peak-level Great Luo Golden Immortal, which harmonized the yin and yang power within her body, thus gaining immense benefits and reaching the Immortal realm overnight!

Kinnara tried his best to remain calm, "From this day forward! We are no longer master and disciple!"

Ashu's bright eyes curved into crescents, because his tone wasn't too angry: "Since they've consummated their marriage, they're definitely not master and disciple..."

"Um!"

"This matter must not be made public! Only Heaven, Earth, you, and I know!"

"Um!"

"Only this once! There will be no second time!"

"Um!"

Ashu didn't say anything coercing like "get married," but instead kept nodding obediently.

This relieved Kinnara greatly, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's get to work!"

"Continue to lead our fellow villagers out of poverty and into prosperity!"

The setting sun was like blood!

evening!

Thunder roared and rain poured down.

"old……"

Kinnara glared at him.

"Boss, it's a bit cold... Can you sleep next to me? Just this once..."

"It's a promise! Just this once!"

"Uh-huh!"

The next day.

It's been a busy day.

"The last time, really the last time..."

……

Human desires are like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once they start, they can never be stopped.

Or, to put it more accurately, one must have tasted the marrow and then savored the flavor.
