Chapter 172: Alien Taoist Priests Invade? “Yujiang” is delighted to have a good disciple!
At this moment, when Qi Yu looked over, he saw Cangjie practicing in the cave as usual. He was refining his own immortal jade talisman to train his acquired Dharma realm, consolidate his foundation, and increase his cultivation.
Today’s Cangjie is only an earthly immortal, but in the way of immortality opened up by Qi Yu, at the earthly immortal realm, if one completes nine turns of the natal jade talisman, one can enter the celestial immortal realm, and at most one can complete twelve turns, laying the foundation for the golden immortal.
At the moment, Cangjie is trying to make the twelfth turn – this is an achievement that no one has ever achieved in the nearly ten thousand years since the opening of the Immortal Avenue. Cangjie is trying to challenge this step, but is stuck at the most important step and has not taken any action yet.
Qi Yu discovered the problem at a glance. Cangjie is now in the stage of establishing his Tao. At present, he is practicing the five elements as his foundation. At this moment, he is also activating the magic of the five elements to complete the twelfth turn and perfect his practice in the realm of earthly immortals.
But at this step, he encountered some accidents and unexpectedly condensed a ray of five elements spiritual inspiration containing innate ancestral qi!
You know, to comprehend and even condense one’s own innate ancestral qi is a realm that can only be reached at the celestial immortal level. Generally speaking, one needs the cultivation of a golden immortal to truly master the essentials. However, Cangjie accidentally took this step ahead of time, but unfortunately he was stuck at the last moment and was unable to succeed.
Seeing that his valued disciple’s face was flushed red and he was constantly struggling with the Five Elements Spiritual Inspiration that he had condensed, and was about to fail, Qi Yu immediately stepped across the void and spoke as a reminder as he appeared.
“Reach the utmost emptiness, maintain the deepest stillness; all things, in their entirety, return to their roots.”
Qi Yu’s reminder was very timely, and in a hurry, Cangjie didn’t have time to think about why someone suddenly appeared in the cave where he was practicing alone. He did as he was told immediately. At one moment, the five qi returned to the origin, and the five elements of spiritual inspiration transformed from the innate ancestral qi were finally refined by Cangjie’s natal jade talisman.
Taking this opportunity, he also successfully completed the twelve turns of his natal jade talisman. For a moment, his natal jade talisman was shining brightly, and a faint blue-purple aura was whistling into the sky around his body. This was the hidden foundation of the Golden Immortal. It can be said that after this step, Cangjie’s practice in the future will be smooth sailing for a long time.
When Qi Yu watched this scene, he felt deeply moved. He felt that his vision was indeed unique, and Cangjie’s understanding and talent were truly extraordinary.
It was at this moment that he discovered a problem that was neither big nor small—
“Huh? No wonder I’ve never seen an earthly immortal with the Jade Talisman Twelve Turns appear in the world. It turns out that I missed a small problem at the beginning.”
It was not until this moment that Qi Yu unexpectedly noticed a small loophole on his path to becoming an immortal. The Ninth Turn was the pinnacle of earthly immortals. Qi Yu originally set up the concept of the Twelve Turns in order to encourage true geniuses to go one step further, but he overlooked the fact that he was a saint in two lives, and his lowest starting point was equivalent to that of a Xuanmen Golden Immortal. Some of his own qualities were impossible for ordinary cultivators to possess.
For example, the twelve turns of the earthly immortals, twelve turns is the number of perfection, and it is rare to achieve perfection in the heavenly way. Therefore, if you want to complete this step normally, you must introduce some innate opportunity to make up for certain defects that objectively exist in the acquired world.
However, before this, Qi Yu himself did not realize this. Among his disciples, those who were born with a congenital background had cultivation levels higher than that of Earthly Immortals. They had already skipped this step when they switched to cultivation. Those who were born with an acquired background rarely had such qualifications, and no one guided them, so it was impossible for them to realize this problem. At most, they thought it was due to their own lack of talent.
Therefore, such a loophole, which is neither big nor small, has been ignored until today when it was discovered by Qi Yu, the ancestor.
Fortunately, this is not a real problem, because the ninth level is the pinnacle of earthly immortals, and breaking through to the level of earthly immortals in this way can be considered perfect in this realm. Not being able to make the twelfth level will not affect the future path at all. At most, it will just mean that one has not been able to seize an opportunity to make further progress in the future.
Qi Yu thought about it and felt that there was no need to make any targeted changes. He just waved his sleeves, and a flash of spiritual light ascended to the sky. He added a note about the Twelve Turns in the Great Dao of Immortals. When future generations reach this step, they will know that it requires innate opportunity. As for whether this opportunity exists, it is not something Qi Yu should care about.
While Qi Yu was adding annotations to the foundation of the Daoist tradition, Cang Jie had already completed the breakthrough and could attain the status of a celestial being at any time. However, at this moment, he was not happy about the growth of his cultivation. Instead, he turned around and looked at Qi Yu in front of him with caution.
As a young man of the new generation, Cangjie had no chance to meet the Saint Master. As for Qi Yu, he knew about him but didn’t know why. At most, he had paid homage to the latter’s holy image left in the ancestral temple from afar. But as for what the Saint Master looked like, he had no idea.
Therefore, for Cangjie at this moment, Qi Yu could only be regarded as a senior whose real strength was unclear.
And his vigilance is related to Qi Yu’s current behavior.
Although the senior in front of him helped him, how could a senior just barge into someone else’s cultivation cave? It also seemed that he had passed on some kind of message to the outside world. It seemed a pity no matter how you looked at it!
For a moment, Cangjie, who was not experienced enough, started to think divergently. He thought of foreign warriors invading the human holy city, and then he worried that some evil demons and monsters disguised themselves and sneaked into the human race. In short, his imagination was so wild that he thought of more than a dozen possibilities in just a few breaths.
Of course, Cangjie’s mouth was not idle either. He opened his mouth immediately and tried to delay time.
“Thanks to the senior for your help, I was able to complete my mission.”
“However, may I ask who you are, senior, and why you appeared in my cave?”
As he spoke, Cangjie tried to use his magic power to trigger a jade talisman in his arms. After all, he was one of the potential seeds among the young generation of the human race, so he naturally had some backup plans left by the human race’s strong men. This was also one of the influences that Qi Yu had brought to the human race over the years.
Qi Yu naturally saw all of Cangjie’s little movements. For a moment, he couldn’t help but lose his vigilance. The little guy was quite vigilant.
However, he was a quasi-saint, and one of the strongest men in the world. How could he be tricked by a junior? Without any action, the jade talisman in Cangjie’s arms had already become ineffective at this moment, and it could not serve any warning function at all. As a result, this cave was completely sealed off, and no one knew about it.
After completing all this in an instant, Qi Yu, who was already in a playful mood, replied.
“I am the God of the North Sea, the Taoist Lord of the God Clan, Yujiang.”
“I happened to pass by today, and I didn’t expect that there was such a talent and beauty as you among the human race. I was very happy to see you, so I gave you some pointers.”
“It’s a pity that you, with such talent, were born into an acquired race. It’s a pity for you to be confined to this small human race. What’s more, the immortal path you practiced is just a side path, not the real path.”
“The righteous laws of the world are all in my God Clan. They are the great ways passed down by the Three Emperors. Only with talents like yours can you achieve great things in the lineage of my God Clan.”
“How about you, young man? Are you willing to be a boy beside me? I am an innate great god. If you follow me, you will have endless benefits. One day you will become a golden immortal.”
Qi Yu responded by calling himself an old god. His words were full of undisguised contempt and disdain for the human race and the entire Xuanmen Immortal Dao, and even revealed a hint of hostility.
This is also the character chosen by Qi Yu this time. To be honest, there are quite a few such old stubborn people among the gods nowadays. They have always held this inexplicable sense of superiority towards Xuanmen, and no one knows where it comes from. Even if they are not allies of the Wu clan, they are still stubbornly hostile to Xuanmen and do not look down on the acquired races.
Of course Cang Jie also noticed this undisguised hostility. Immediately, his face became serious and he spoke.
“Respected God, be careful with your words. Our human race is a descendant of the Human Emperor, and we have our own legal system. The Xuanmen was founded by Kunlun Tianzun. Our Immortal Avenue is the righteous path of heaven and earth established by the Great Emperor Xichen, and we do not allow outsiders to slander it at will!”
“In addition, Your Majesty, I am a human, a disciple of the immortal lineage. I have inherited the Taoist tradition and will not go elsewhere. I hope Your Majesty will not make it difficult for me. If Your Majesty has nothing to do, it is better for you to leave our ancestral land as soon as possible. Although our human race belongs to the acquired world, there are also powerful Taoist masters in our ancestral land to suppress it, and we will not allow outsiders to invade at will!”
Cang Jie’s words were decisive. If it was anything else, he could ignore it, but disrespecting the human race and slandering the orthodoxy was something that a young man like Cang Jie could not tolerate. He immediately refuted Qi Yu with a polite but extremely fierce statement, and at the same time kept trying to activate the jade talisman in his arms to warn the outside world that there was an invasion of a powerful enemy.
Although it is still unclear how terrifying Daojun is, Cangjie also understands that Daojun is definitely the most powerful person in the prehistoric world. He is the most powerful person who controls the situation in the prehistoric world and can destroy the world at any time.
Now, there is someone who has sneaked into the human race without the knowledge of gods and ghosts. Even if it costs his life, Cangjie must complete the warning to the outside world and fulfill his responsibility as a member of the human race!
As for all this, Qi Yu did not reveal it at the first time, but continued to follow the process.
“Be bold!”
“You are a young man who really doesn’t know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. I saw that you had some talent and took you in out of kindness, but I didn’t expect that you would be so bold as to speak so arrogantly in front of me!”
“I’ll give you one last chance, do you agree or not?”
“If you don’t obey, I will have to cover the sky with one hand and strangle the genius today, so that you won’t become a big shot in the future and destroy the foundation of my Shintoism!”
Although no powerful Taoist master would waste time talking to a small cultivator like this, Qi Yu at least seemed very realistic in his aura, so Cangjie was completely frightened for a moment and did not think further about whether this conversation still had the most basic logical rationality.
Faced with the oppression of “power”, even though he was afraid in his heart, Cangjie’s position never changed.
Despite Qi Yu’s pressure, Cang Jie insisted.
“Since the Lord is so overbearing, you can just kill me. I would rather die than obey!”
“Moreover, there are also powerful Daojuns among our human race. Even if you kill me, I am afraid that the Lord God may not be able to leave the ancestral land of our human race today. The Lord God does not know the destiny and commits murderous sins recklessly. Even if he can be violent for a while, he will be punished by the will of heaven!”
Cangjie spoke these words with great courage, although they were also a bit childish, which made Qi Yu nod secretly in his heart. Although it was a bit reckless, this kind of mentality was considered acceptable. And while he was full of enthusiasm, he did not lose the necessary caution. Cangjie was indeed a malleable talent, worthy of being selected and trained as the spokesperson for the human race in the future.
Immediately, Qi Yu no longer had the heart to continue acting and just started laughing.
“Hahahaha, what a great line! ‘We humans also have powerful Dao Lords.’ It’s just a pity that you still underestimated the Dao Lord’s methods. If I really wanted to attack you, why would I waste time talking to you, and how could I possibly give you a chance to warn you?”
“You don’t even look at it. After giving warnings for so long, does the jade talisman in your arms have any effect at all? You should save your tricks in front of the powerful Taoist priests in the future. The idea of reporting to the backer is good and quite bold. I like it.”
While smiling, Qi Yu looked at Cangjie in front of him. He was shocked at first, and directly took out the jade talisman from his arms. Then his face turned pale, but he quickly calmed down.
Although Cangjie was still young and his cultivation was not high, he was very insightful, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
From Qi Yu’s words, he had already tasted something. The “honored god” in front of him didn’t seem to have any real ill will towards him? And he called himself “poor Taoist”. Could it be that he was not an alien invader, but a great immortal from the Xuanmen Sect, and this time he was a guest of the Chinese race?
Immediately, Cangjie’s mentality changed and he bowed politely.
“May I ask who you are, senior, and what advice do you have for me?”
“Hahahaha, just watch for yourself!”
As he spoke, Qi Yu waved his sleeves, and suddenly, the dragon energy in the ancestral land of the human race vibrated. The great fortune of the human race was added to his body in an instant, causing the golden seal of the Saint Master in Qi Yu’s body to burst into golden light at this moment.
The strange phenomenon did not affect the entire ancestral land of the human race. Apart from the shock of dragon energy, the other changes only appeared in the cave where Cangjie and Qi Yu were. All this was enough for the former to recognize the identity of the latter.
Immediately, Cangjie kowtowed with great respect.
“Meet the Patriarch!”
The reason why he is called the ancestor instead of the saint master is precisely because Cang Jie is a disciple of the immortal Taoism, and the scene of Qi Yu personally instructing him not long ago is still in front of us! He is a genius praised by Qi Yu as having spirituality and understanding. If he doesn’t cling to his thighs now, when will he?
“Hahahaha, kid, get up.”
Qi Yuchang smiled and said at the same time.
“However, Cangjie boy, you are wrong in one sentence. You should not call me the ancestor, but the master.”
“After all, I am your master and disciple. Could it be that you, a stubborn disciple, are unwilling to acknowledge me?”
Cang Jie was a young man of great integrity. Even if he was facing a powerful Taoist master from another race, he would fight to the end and would not bow down.
But if it was Qi Yu, the human race’s saint master, then things would be very different.
Immediately, Qi Yu saw Cang Jie was overjoyed, and he performed great rituals and bowed to Qi Yu again.
“Disciple Cangjie pays homage to Master!”
Seeing this, Qi Yu smiled again.
“Good disciple, get up.”
“Today is also the day of our fate. Let’s regard it as a good story between you and me as a master and disciple. From now on, you are my second disciple. You must pass on my immortal path and live up to the reputation of our school.”
“Disciple accepts the order!”
There will be more in the evening, and it should be more than 12 words, but the third update will probably be after o’clock.
