Chapter 100 Lonely Elderly

What kind of beings are saints?

The sage entrusts his primordial spirit to the Way of Heaven, and all things can be known through the Way of Heaven.

No matter where you are, whether you say the name of the saint or keep it in your heart.

Even sages can sense something.

At this very moment, the Primordial Sage, far away in the void, had an extremely grim expression.

He admitted that he had indeed gone too far during the Investiture of the Gods battle.

This drop of the Three Lights Divine Water is actually a disguised form of bowing down.

However, no one can say that this Three Lights Divine Water is poisonous.

But now, like the other saints, he is trapped here, and it will be difficult for him to get out.

Moreover, after the Investiture of the Gods war, the Dao Ancestor said that the sages would no longer interfere in the affairs of the Three Realms.

If it were back in his old days, he would have taught her a lesson no matter what.

But now, Yuan Shi's face was only slightly dark.

"Junior brother, your disciples are truly people who lack moral character."

"Second brother, your disciple isn't much better."

"Junior brother, look at all these things you've collected."

"Second brother, what good stuff have you gotten this time?"

……

The Void was unusually lively today; time seemed to have frozen throughout the entire Void.

Only two voices echoed continuously above the void.

Meanwhile, the other four sages were quietly enjoying the show.

In fact, this kind of argument has happened more than once or twice.

Even before Su Bai was born, these two sages were constantly arguing, one big argument every three days and one small argument every day, and there was basically no time to stop.

It was only after Su Bai appeared that the Void became much quieter.

……

Lishan Laomu Temple.

Su Bai watched the old woman stare at the drop of Three Lights Divine Water for a while, then looked at the old woman and the drop of water with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, is there something wrong with this drop of divine water?"

The old woman gently shook her head and said, "The divine water itself is fine, but the problem is that this doesn't seem like Second Master's style."

"Before the Investiture of the Gods began and before the three sages of the three religions established their sects, the Three Pure Ones lived together in the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain."

"However, as Master took in more and more disciples, many of whom were fierce and evil, Second Uncle had a lot of opinions about this."

"But the teacher always adhered to the principle of teaching without discrimination. In the teacher's view, everything can learn the Way, regardless of background, aptitude, or origin."

"As long as someone is truly seeking the Way, they should be given a chance."

As she spoke, the old woman led Su Bai toward the backyard.

Inside the courtyard, the woman in white was watering the flowers and plants. If you looked closely, you could see a blue snake-like shadow moving back and forth among the flowers and plants.

The old woman had clearly sensed something was amiss, but she didn't say anything.

She patted Su Bai's head and continued, "But Second Master Uncle's path is not like that."

"My second senior brother believes that those who cultivate themselves should emphasize virtue, and that it is not appropriate for them to cultivate the Tao unless they have great opportunities, great perseverance, and great merit."

As if she had thought of something, the old woman chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, it is somewhat similar to the Mahayana Buddhism of Mount Ling today."

"And then?" Su Bai nestled in the old woman's arms and looked up at her.

Although he knew the ending, knowing it and hearing it from others are two different things.

Clearly, Su Bai preferred to hear what others had to say.

The old woman carried Su Bai as they strolled around the courtyard, saying as they walked, "Later, Second Uncle and Teacher had a falling out over this matter."

"So the teacher went to the East Sea to establish a Buddhist temple, and later the eldest master also left the Jade Void Palace."

"Wouldn't that leave my second uncle all alone?"

Upon hearing Su Bai's words, the old woman couldn't help but glance down at him. After a moment, she smiled slightly and said, "That's not entirely unreasonable."

……

A land of nothingness.

Yuanshi's face turned red, and for a moment the entire hall trembled as a result.

"Reaching for the heavens!"

Endless mountain ranges.

The old Taoist priest lay in a rocking chair, fanning himself, shaking his head, and a slight smile on his face.

After a long pause, Youyou replied, "What?"

Yuanshi was truly angry.

Since the Investiture of the Gods, the existence of the Chan Sect has been almost the same as its non-existence.

The vice leader of the Chan Sect abducted several disciples and fled to the Western Paradise.

Let's not talk about these wretched children.

When he first entered this void, Guang Chengzi would occasionally come to greet him.

Sometimes, Taiyi and others would also come to pay their respects to him.

At that time, Yuanshi was very pleased with himself.

The void is only so big; to a sage, the distance between them is equivalent to that of a street.

Whenever the disciples of the Primordial Sage came, their nonchalant tone and attitude always made the old Taoist grit his teeth in hatred.

If this place weren't unsuitable for taking action, not even the Death Pill or the Instant Death Pill could control him, let alone the Saint-Death Pill.

But gradually, for some unknown reason, Taiyi and the others would only come once every long period of time. Each time they came, they had a lot of excuses, either they were busy or they had something to do.

As a sage who has insight into the three realms, how could he not know whether they are busy or not?

The Primordial Sage did not expose the excuses made by Taiyi and the others, considering them to be juniors.

It's good to be busy.

As time went by, it started happening every few hundred years, and eventually, it stopped happening altogether.

Even Guang Chengzi, Yuan Shi had not seen for a long time.

So much so that later on, the old Taoist priest would always use these things to mock him.

Now that the Three Realms are completely stable, the disciples of Yuanshi have not set foot in this place for a long time.

On the contrary, Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect would occasionally enter and greet the old Taoist.

However, since Su Bai's appearance, the old Taoist priest no longer cares about his former disciples of the Jie Sect.

This scene, however, made Yuanshi extremely envious.

"Junior brother, I heard your disciple used the Heaven-Opening Blade?"

As they spoke, Yuanshi glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the palace in the south.

Above the Southern Human Race, the Supreme Being's eyes were closed, but his ears twitched slightly.

The old Taoist priest lay back in his rocking chair, his eyes darting around, and said calmly, "What? Want to give him another one?"

Yuanshi remained silent.

Everyone says that sages are heartless, that they have severed the three corpses and eliminated the seven emotions and six desires, but is that really the case?

If one is devoid of emotion, what difference is there between one and the Way of Heaven?

Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to merge with the Dao as early as possible, just like the Dao Ancestor?

If saints were truly heartless, the Investiture of the Gods war would not have turned out like that.

Yuanshi remained silent, and the old Taoist priest did not reveal anything.

He knew what Yuanshi was thinking; it was just that he hadn't spoken to anyone for too long, and hadn't preached to his disciples for too long.

Even the old Taoist priest felt that Yuanshi seemed to be worried that his Chanjiao doctrines would be lost to the long river of time.

The old Taoist shifted in his rocking chair and beckoned to Wanling beside him, saying, "Girl, where's the wine in my room?"

Wan Ling was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said, "Third Master, have you forgotten? You've already finished your wine. How about I ask Yu Qiushui next door to go south and buy some?"

The old Taoist raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm picky about wine, and I don't like the wine of that human race. If you want to drink, you have to drink good wine. I've heard that the celestial nectar of the Heavenly Court is quite good."

"Your cat-like senior brother will be back in a few days. He said he'll bring me fish to eat. If we have some good wine, the fish would be a perfect complement."

"What a pity, what a pity that someone doesn't have this good fortune."
