A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 143 Even Saints Can Brag

Although the trip outside did not result in the death of the enemy, it did teach Wen Zhong a lesson.

Although Su Bai couldn't unleash the full power of the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo, even just a few strikes were enough to keep Wen Zhong lying down for quite some time.

With his desire for revenge gone, Su Bai's steps became much lighter when he returned to the Taoist temple.

Even my state of mind seems to have improved a lot.

The Taoist temple remained as serene as ever.

When Yu Qiushui next door refines magical artifacts, he rarely causes explosions due to failure.

The sun shone down on the rooftop, where Su Bai lay lazily, squinting his eyes and feeling the sun's essence envelop him.

"Open your personal panel".

[Realm: Refining the Spirit to Return to Emptiness]

[Supernatural Powers: Celestial Manifestation (Intermediate), Thunder Magic (Intermediate), Rainbow Transformation Technique (Intermediate)]

(For the full text, please see the author's note.)

Looking at his personal panel, Su Bai felt a strange sense of satisfaction as the panel grew longer, even though the overall changes were minimal.

After all, he has now become an immortal.

There's no need to worry about lifespan at all. As long as you live a long life, one day your body will grow even longer.

Su Bai basked in the sun, feeling the warm breeze on his face and smelling the earthy scent of the mountains and forests.

Before he knew it, Su Bai had fallen asleep on the floor.

Inside the courtyard, the old Taoist priest clearly noticed.

He glanced up slightly at the cat on the roof, chuckled softly, and said calmly, "Second brother, have you made up your mind? Didn't you say you'd give me an explanation?"

In the white jade hall, Yuanshi was taken aback.

Explain?

When did I say I would give you an explanation?

But upon closer reflection, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Lei Bu and Zhao Gongming, perhaps the cat would have actually broken in.

At that time, Yuan Shi did indeed intend to let Su Bai enter, hoping to use him to help him destroy something.

After all, this little guy had three life-saving hairs given to him by the old Taoist priest.

There was also the Heaven-Opening Blade and the Three Lights Divine Water that he gifted me.

These things alone would be more than enough to save his life.

However, the appearance of these two groups from the Heavenly Court clearly disrupted his plans.

Looking back now, he was indeed a bit anxious.

Fortunately, there will still be opportunities in the future.

This cat's curiosity will one day lead him back to the Kunlun Mountains.

At that time, his cultivation level might be even higher, which would increase his ability to survive by several times.

After a moment of contemplation, Yuanshi said in a calm tone, "What's there to explain? Just as my disciple said, too many people, too many cultivators, and too many demons died in Kunlun Mountain."

"It is perfectly normal for accumulated malevolent energy and evil influences to pose some danger."

The old Taoist priest chuckled.

In his opinion, the second brother's words were just meant to fool those clueless little kids.

As a sage, wherever he went, golden lotuses bloomed everywhere.

Even if a sage's sacred site is uninhabited for many years, it cannot be contaminated by evil spirits.

People, demons, and monsters who die in that place are even less likely to generate malevolent energy.

In the old Taoist's view, the second brother must have some conspiracy that he didn't say directly.

But what he couldn't understand was, since all the sages had already stayed in this landscape painting and had no intention of leaving, what was there that couldn't be said?

unless----

Just then, Yuanshi suddenly spoke up: "Junior sister, I have noticed that Dijiang seems to be restless again recently. I'm afraid this Mountain and River Map cannot withstand his torment. Why don't you hand it over to me and let me refine it again to make it more robust?"

No one knows what Yuanshi is up to, but what everyone knows is that nine times out of ten, what comes out of his mouth is unreliable.

Nuwa looked at the giant not far away, her eyebrows slightly lowered.

In fact, she didn't quite understand what that fellow Daoist in the Land of Reincarnation was planning.

He said he was just there to join in the fun, but for all this time, the giant just sat there quietly watching the sky.

In the beginning, he would occasionally fight against the demons he had created.

But lately, he seems to have lost his soul, just sitting there blankly.

As the mother of all spirits, although she does not control reincarnation, she still has some knowledge of the soul.

At this time, although Dijiang's soul was somewhat missing, it was only the part related to the Wu tribe that was missing.

However, this part will not affect any of his normal behavior.

Nuwa ignored Yuanshi's words; she was only focused on continuing to observe Dijiang.

She wanted to guess what her fellow Daoist was thinking by looking at Dijiang.

Anyway, I'm idle anyway. After all, I've been idle for so many years, so a little bit more won't make a difference.

Although Yuanshi felt a little embarrassed for not receiving a response, he did not show any dissatisfaction on his face.

After all, this wasn't the first or second time this had happened, and he had long since become accustomed to being ignored by Nuwa.

The rocking chair beneath the old Taoist priest began to rock automatically.

For some reason, he always felt that his second brother was up to something again.

But he couldn't find any evidence.

Moreover, for such a long time, all the sages have basically been holed up in the "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

It can be said that since arriving here, no one has ever left. Even if someone did leave, they would inevitably be punished by Heaven.

After all, the Dao Ancestor himself said that a sage must never set foot in the Three Realms.

This is not a joke.

The old Taoist priest lowered his head slightly to look at the fan in his hand.

Since the setup wasn't made during this period, it's very likely that it was done before entering this place.

But what exactly did he do?

Was it during the time he was imprisoned in Zixiao Palace after the Investiture of the Gods war ended, or was the plan already laid out before the Investiture of the Gods war?

As one of the sages, the old Taoist priest was well aware of the methods of sages.

Although a sage can look back on the past, it is difficult for him to detect if the person who orchestrated the scheme is also a sage.

Most importantly, a sage could never foresee the future; at most, he could only calculate some general outlines.

The old Taoist priest simply couldn't believe that the second brother would have such methods, that he could foresee the present situation even before the Investiture of the Gods war.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer, and then the rocking chair beneath him began to shake even more violently.

Wanling looked at the old Taoist priest with a puzzled expression.

After a moment of silence, he stepped forward and asked, "Master, what's causing you to be both happy and angry?"

The old Taoist priest curled his lip and said, "Really?"

"Looking at your face, one minute you're smiling, the next you're angry, it's almost contorted."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but touch his face.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's just that some people brag too much. They really think they're saints and can do anything. Aren't they still stuck in this godforsaken place like me?"
