Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"Actually, returning home empty-handed from fishing isn't such a bad thing."

Song Xuan glanced sideways, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

Zhao Gongming smiled slightly, "This is called balancing luck!"

Song Xuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh, "Daoyou is right, a person's luck is always determined, and it does need to be balanced in some aspects."

Zhao Gongming changed the bait, then cast the hook, saying calmly, "Fishing isn't about catching anything; it's about the anticipation of waiting...

By the way, fellow Daoist is an ascender, right?"

"Oh?" Song Xuan's grip on the fishing rod tightened slightly. "Did you see that, fellow Daoist?"

"Well, you have a special kind of arrogance. Although it is not obvious, I can still feel it. I have seen this kind of arrogance in other ascenders."

Zhao Gongming continued, "I wonder if you are interested in joining my Jiejiao?"

Song Xuan shook his head slightly. "I appreciate your kindness, fellow Daoist, but I already work in the Heavenly Court, so I don't want to join the sect anymore."

"Oh, what a pity!"

Zhao Gongming sighed, "I also know that there are many demons and monsters within Jiejiao. In this ancient world, even the biggest demons have been causing trouble in the name of the third and fourth generation disciples of Jiejiao.

Therefore, Jiejiao has a bad reputation among the human race, and it is understandable that fellow Taoists are unwilling to join our Jiejiao.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s fate that we met. From today on, we can be considered friends.

Add a messaging method so we can keep in touch later and go fishing together when we have time."

As he spoke, Zhao Gongming looked at Qiongxiao, who was eating snacks and was amused like a fool by Song Qian's jokes, and a smile appeared on his face.

"In terms of age, Qiong Xiao is much older than your sister, but no matter how you look at it, she looks more like a younger sister in front of your sister."

Song Xuan smiled slightly and looked at Qiong Xiao.

Qiongxiao, my sister’s sister?

Sister Qiong?

Chapter 970 You said you wanted to fish, so you were fishing for them, right?

There is no doubt that the two guys who follow the principle of balanced luck are empty-handed!

I fished for half a day but didn't catch a single frog.

Song Qian seemed to have gotten used to it. While chatting with Qiong Xiao, she casually cast the fishing hook a few times and caught a few big fish. Then she skillfully began to scrape the fish scales, process the internal organs, and start grilling the fish.

Qiong Xiao watched curiously from the side. She was a creature that was born in human form. Once she transformed, she became an immortal. She had never eaten grains or other acquired foods.

At this moment, watching Victoria Song making barbecue, I silently memorized the steps in my mind.

"Okay, it's done. Come and try my cooking!"

...

It was a very enjoyable meal.

The main thing is that this kind of grilled fish with a very down-to-earth flavor is also the first time for Zhao Gongming and Qiongxiao to experience it.

How to say it, it is meaningless after eating it, and it also requires the use of mana in the body to refine the acquired impurities in the grilled fish.

But putting all that aside, it tastes really good!

I've eaten a lot of fairy fruit and fairy wine, so it feels good to change the taste occasionally.

After finishing the grilled fish in her hand, Sister Qiong even licked her lips, glancing at the grill from time to time, as if she wanted to catch a few more fish to grill.

But she still had some goddess baggage after all, and with Song Xuan, an outsider, present, she ultimately didn't dare to speak.

After eating and drinking, Song Xuan took Song Qian to say goodbye.

This time, I have seen the world and met the top masters of Jiejiao. It is impossible to say that I don't feel any pressure.

After returning, he will prepare to overcome the second disaster.

Zhao Gongming was a very enthusiastic person. Before Song Xuan left, he left a bunch of rare treasures for the brother and sister, saying that it was to thank them for their hospitality.

Sister Qiong took Song Qian's hand and stuffed two jars of her own brewed immortal wine into Song Qian's storage ring. She said reluctantly, "Sister Xiao Qian, I will go to the Heavenly Palace to play with you when I have time in the future."

"Okay, okay. When I'm free, I'll visit your Three Immortals Island. We can play whack-a-mole. It's so much fun!"

The two sisters exchanged many words reluctantly. After Song Xuan and his sister completely disappeared from the sky, Zhao Gongming stretched himself and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, stop being distracted. It's time for us to go back."

Qiong Xiao said "oh", glanced at the barbecue marks still left on the ground, and fell silent for a moment.

"Brother, you suddenly brought me here to fish today. Actually, you wanted to catch these two siblings, right?"

Zhao Gongming crossed his arms and smiled faintly, "I don't know either. It just suddenly struck me that I wanted to come here to fish. I have a feeling that I'll encounter some kind of opportunity.

I thought some treasure would appear around here, but unexpectedly, I met two interesting people."

Qiong Xiao blinked and whispered, "Their cultivation looks to be at the True Immortal level. Do you think highly of them, brother?"

Zhao Gongming laughed, "Second sister, if you encounter an enemy, you only need to consider their cultivation level.

But if you want to make friends, you can't just look at the other person's current cultivation level, but you should pay more attention to the other person's future potential.

Even though the Song Xuan brother and sister are still weak in cultivation, they showed no fear at all when facing us. They really treated us as fellow Taoists!

You know what that means?"

Qiong Xiao thought for a moment, "Does it mean that our reputation is so good that other immortal friends know we won't harm anyone, so they're not afraid?"

Zhao Gongming groaned, "What you said may have a reason, but no matter how good our reputation is, we are still one of the most powerful people in this world.

For ordinary immortals, it is difficult to speak fluently in front of us, let alone have a drink and chat.

The status of immortals cannot be ignored by anyone!"

Qiong Xiao understood a little, "So, big brother, what you mean is that these two people, although they look like humans, are not actually that. They are most likely innate gods with roots like us?"

Zhao Gongming hummed, "If there are no accidents, it should be so.

These brother and sister have a kind of confidence in their bones. I have felt that kind of confidence from those innate gods and demons in the past. It is a kind of confidence that as long as I am given time, I will not be weaker than anyone else!

He addressed us as fellow Taoists, and he really treated us as such from the bottom of his heart. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was not a trace of servility or flattery in him.

Because these two brothers and sisters believe deep down that in the near future, their strength will definitely be improved and they will become fellow Taoists on the same level as us!"

Qiong Xiao suddenly realized, "So, big brother, you want to invite them to join Jiejiao?"

"Yes!" Zhao Gongming said with emotion: "For those Daoists who are likely to be at the same level as us in the future, I naturally want them to become members of Jiejiao.

But you also know the current situation of Jiejiao. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mess.

The master is too indulgent to his subordinates. He only wants to make the Jiejiao grow stronger, but lacks effective control over his subordinates. The behavior of some followers is indeed disgusting.

It is not difficult to understand why the Song Xuan brothers and sisters are unwilling to join our Jie Sect."

Qiong Xiao was quite open-minded and said, "Brother, you are just too concerned about the people from Jiejiao.

I don't care about the others, as long as we are free and easy on Sanxian Island. Big brother, Xiaoqian and I really get along well. It doesn't matter to me whether she likes Jiejiao or not, as long as she has a good relationship with us. "

She looked up at the sky and said calmly, "To be honest, in this vast world, apart from Master, Big Brother, Big Sister, Third Sister, and Senior Brother Duobao, the rest of the Jiejiao disciples have just such a relationship with us.

Everyone has their own dojo and their own pursuits. Don't think I don't know that many believers secretly fight for more benefits within the religion.

Zhao Gongming sighed, "There's nothing I can do. My Jie Sect believes in teaching everyone without distinction, and we accept everyone. With so many people and so many different kinds of people, conflicts are bound to arise.

I heard that some demons and witches in the sect held official positions in the Great Shang Dynasty, and some even regarded themselves as gods. Many local governments in the Great Shang held sacrifices for them all year round.

People like me who practice cultivation strive for freedom and invulnerability, yet these people are so deeply involved with the Humane Dynasty. I have a feeling this isn't a good thing."

"It's okay, big brother!" Qiong Xiao comforted him, "You just worry too much. Our Jiejiao is a sect of saints after all, what big thing can happen?

At most, the group of demons, fairies, witches and gods below are making too much trouble, and Second Uncle will have some opinions. Master will deal with it when the time comes.

After all, the three religions are one family. Can they fall out over such a small matter?"

Zhao Gongming shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful. "It's a pity that cultivators like the Song Xuan brothers and sisters, who have extraordinary roots and great potential, can't become fellow disciples.

"Forget it, I don't want to think too much about it. Although we can't be fellow disciples, we can be friends, so this trip is not in vain."

Carrying the fishing rod in one hand and the empty wooden bucket in the other, Zhao Gongming smiled, "At least, I'll have a companion when I go fishing from now on!"

Chapter 971 This is the kingdom your brother-in-law built for you

As he approached Lingxi County, Song Xuan's escape speed slowed down.

"Brother, why didn't you agree when Zhao Gongming invited you to join Jiejiao?"

Song Xuan tilted his head, "Why, do you want to join Jiejiao?"

Song Qian laughed casually and said, "It's a saint sect after all. There's no harm in having multiple Jiejiao disciples."

Song Xuan waved his hand and transmitted his voice, "If we really have to choose one of the three religions to join, Jiejiao is not suitable. The saint of Jiejiao has a lot of pride and cannot lose face. He will not do anything like bullying the weak.

In short, he is too particular about rules.

It’s nothing in peacetime, but if a catastrophe breaks out, it will not be a good thing for the disciples of the sect!

On the other hand, the one from the Chan Sect did not have any baggage of being a saint and was extremely protective of his disciples. When his disciples encountered troubles, he had no rules against bullying the weak.

From an outsider's perspective, the person from the Chan sect does things without any care.

But if you look at it from the perspective of a disciple, would you say this kind of master is reliable or not?"

Victoria Song said, "But joining the Chan Sect is not easy. It depends on your background. It's an elite sect..."

As she spoke, she was stunned for a moment, then stroked her forehead and smiled, "I almost forgot, we are now also innate gods and demons. In terms of background, we are not inferior to the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Xianjiao.

If nothing unexpected happens, the twelve people from the Chan Sect are at least at the Daluo level now, right?

If they can do it, we can do it too!"

Song Xuan smiled slightly and pointed to the coastal outline in the distance, "That is the area under my divine jurisdiction.

As for the orthodox and unorthodox sects, let me be honest with you, for the time being, I don't plan to join any of these sects.

Even if I choose a side in the future, it will be after I have overcome the Five Degenerations of the Celestial Beings and make a decision based on my own interests."

The most important point of joining a sect is to listen to the saints' preaching and learn the teachings from them. In addition, you can also obtain more resources for practice and go further on the road of the great way.

But now, for Song Xuan, he actually has all of these.

He has a complete cultivation system, has stepped out of the inner world of cultivation, and has cultivated the way to overcome the five signs of decay of heaven and man. As long as he follows the steps, it will be no problem for him to achieve enlightenment in the future.

As for those who have reached Daluo, using the inner world as the formation base and the star gods in the 129,600 acupoints around the body as the formation eyes, one can completely take the path of using the body as the formation.

These were things that the saint could not teach him, and he dared not tell anyone else. He could only rely on the brothers and sisters to explore them on their own.

Victoria Song chuckled, "I know you're too careless. You've said all this, but in reality, you just don't want to have more masters... But then again, joining someone else's sect is much better than starting your own sect for fun!"

Song Xuan looked at her in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Victoria Song blinked, "Am I wrong?"

"You're right. I've noticed that you always seem to grasp things that others overlook."

After Song Qian said this just now, Song Xuan's mind suddenly became clear. Erni was right. One of the main reasons why he was unwilling to join a sect was that he did not want to have more masters to control him.

Being an immortal official in the Heavenly Court is of a lower rank, but as long as your strength improves, you can always stand at the top of the Heavenly Court officialdom in the future.

But if you join a religion and become a disciple, you will have a master above you, and that will be forever.

Master is Master. Even if you become much stronger than him in the future, he is still Master. This cannot be changed!

In the world of cultivation, disciples are the earth and the master is the sky, but Song Xuan doesn't want to have another sky above his head!

When they returned to the land temple, it was already dark and the pilgrims were gradually leaving. Yingning, the little messenger of the gods, closed the temple door and began to clean it.

Seeing Song Xuan's figure appear, Yingning's face was happy at first, but after seeing Song Qian's cold figure, her expression immediately became extremely respectful.

"Greetings, sir!"

"I've seen fairies!"

She didn't know Song Qian's identity, but since she could come with her own land god, she knew without a doubt that she must be at least a fairy, so it was definitely okay to call her a fairy.

Victoria Song looked at the pretty girl in front of her and pinched her slightly chubby face. "Brother, is this the Taoist child you found?"

Yingning's eyes suddenly widened.

elder brother?
