A cat that lingers beside a saint

The old Taoist priest walked slowly, but each step seemed to traverse countless mountains and rivers.

"It's not about severing desires, but about cutting off the three corpses."

"What are the Three Corpses?"

At this point, the old Taoist smiled and tapped Su Bai's forehead with one hand: "You'll find out sooner or later."

Before Su Bai could even react, the scenery around him suddenly changed, and when he opened his eyes, he was back in the Taoist temple.

Su Bai leaned on the old Taoist's shoulder, his eyes slightly dazed.

Just a moment ago, he seemed to have sensed something, a strange feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

In particular, the feeling of walking thousands of miles in one step made him feel that this supernatural power seemed to be very compatible with him.

Jumping off the old Taoist's shoulder, Su Bai casually tossed the laurel from the small sword aside, then went to the rooftop to savor the feeling the old Taoist had given him as he walked through this world.

As his mind became increasingly clear and ethereal, countless distracting thoughts gradually disappeared from his mind.

His personal panel appeared silently in front of him.

Name: Su Bai

The Three Corpses: Greed (severe), Ignorance (severe), and Anger (severe)

[Cultivation Techniques: Cultivating Both Body and Mind, Breathing in the Sun and Moon]

……

As Su Bai gradually awoke from his state of sudden enlightenment.

He saw his personal panel immediately.

Significant changes have occurred on the panel.

There's an extra three corpses.

In addition, it also gained a supernatural power.

Su Bai didn't think the Three Corpses were anything important. In his opinion, his current cultivation level was still a long way from becoming an immortal.

It's not too late to talk about it when that time really comes.

On the contrary, Su Bai was overjoyed by the ability to shrink the distance to an inch.

He liked it when the old Taoist priest would take him out for a stroll whenever he had free time.

This will not only allow him to learn more about supernatural powers and spells, but also give him a deeper understanding of cultivation.

When they were outside, Su Bai also wanted to go and ask Yang Jian and the others.

However, the answers we received were all too profound.

The feeling was like a child who had just learned to read, holding a piece of paper in his hand and asking a scholar a question.

As a result, the Grand Secretary took the paper and began to spout a bunch of grand principles, which were impossible to understand.

Standing on the rooftop, Su Bai stretched lazily.

Since returning, he has been meditating on the rooftop and hasn't even greeted his junior sister yet.

But when he peered into the courtyard, he couldn't find any trace of his junior sister, and even the golden crow on the Fusang tree was nowhere to be found.

Su Bai jumped off the roof and went to the old Taoist priest's side, asking in confusion, "Master, where are the other two?"

"He went out to subdue all the demonic beasts in the Endless Mountains, but it seems he's run into some trouble and encountered a tough opponent."

Tough stubble?

Su Bai was somewhat puzzled. In this endless mountain range, apart from Su Bai, there was basically no one else that the Golden Crow could call a tough opponent.

"What kind of tough nut to crack?"

Upon hearing Su Bai's question, a hint of nostalgia flashed in the old Taoist's eyes.

"It's Dijiang."

Dijiang?

Dijiang!

Su Bai was almost stunned when he heard the old Taoist's answer.

First, there is a towering stone pillar with the three characters "Mount Sumeru" carved on it.

Next up is the Immortal Sect. Just by looking at it from here, you can tell that the Immortal Sect has a large number of members, who are basically all sword immortals.

Now, strange monsters have inexplicably appeared in this endless mountain range, and the leader of them is a golden crow.

Su Bai had only been gone for a few days when Di Jiang appeared.

What are we going to do?

tired.

Destroy it!

……

It seemed that they had noticed that Su Bai's mood was a little off.

The old Taoist priest chuckled and said, "What, have you heard of the name Dijiang outside?"

Su Bai nodded and said, "It is said that in ancient times, there was a great war between the witches and demons. Among them, the witches had twelve ancestral witches, the leader of whom was Di Jiang."

The old Taoist looked at Su Bai with some surprise.

Many people outside the community know about this, but not many are willing to bring it up voluntarily.

The person who dares to reveal this so openly is probably not as simple as one might imagine.

"Tell me who you met while you were out there?"

Su Bai thought about it carefully and realized that, apart from that, he really hadn't encountered many unfamiliar faces.

But soon, Su Bai remembered the woman he had met when he entered the Moon Palace.

"I remember now. When I was in the Moon Palace, I met a woman who claimed to be the first generation of Taiyin Xingjun (the Moon Goddess)."

The first generation of Taiyin Xingjun...

Hearing Su Bai's words, the old Taoist priest slightly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Wangshu...

What an ancient name.

So many years have passed, and many people believe that the Moon Goddess had already vanished in that great battle.

Unexpectedly, it is still hidden in the Taiyin star.

If Su Bai hadn't stumbled upon her by chance, she probably wouldn't have revealed her identity.

However, since she dared to expose her existence, she probably doesn't care about being known by others.

After all, times have changed, and the past is the past.

Did she say anything to you?

She said that following you would lead to no good, and told me to become her disciple instead.

"So what did you say?"

"I said I'm waiting for you to die of old age so I can inherit your Taoist temple."

……

Deep in the mountains and forests, Wanling lay on the back of the Golden Crow, gazing at the giant as tall as a hill from afar.

The giant's every move would stir up a great wind, and the earth would tremble when he walked.

Dijiang's eyes were filled with confusion. For some reason, he felt that he shouldn't be here.

But deep within his soul, a voice seemed to be constantly reminding him that his name was Wu.

"witch?"

"What is a witch?"

"Standing tall and upright, that is the essence of a shaman."

"Then what am I?"

"You are the Ancestral Witch."

Why am I the only one here?

……

The voice did not answer him again.

Dijiang slowly sat down on the ground, looking at the golden bird in the distance and the little girl on his back.

"What is that?"

"That's the Golden Crow."

"Is it edible?"

……
