Chapter 217: The Master
Each time the Xumi Cave Heaven opens, it lasts for seven days.

Seven days is neither short nor long. Even in the world of cultivation, it is enough time for many major events to occur. But most of the time, it passes by in a flash.

On this day, Xu Heng suddenly felt that there was a powerful force pulling him away from this dark space.

He knew the time had come, so he used his escape technique to fly away, and soon he felt the world changing.

All his consciousness became confused at first, and then became clear again. The vitality-filled atmosphere of the outside world, which was completely different from that of the Xumi Cave Heaven, had already invaded his senses.

Xu Heng lifted the clouds in the sky and slowly descended, but he saw that the area in front of Taiguang Palace was already very deserted.

Only the short Taoist priest made hand gestures and chanted a spell, sheathed his magic sword from mid-air, and then glanced at Xu Heng unhappily and said, “Among the five people, you are the only one who stayed until today.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Heng just smiled slightly and bowed to ask for mercy.

Entering Xumi and searching for the elixir is not a sure thing to gain. After all, the creation of the elixir is not inevitable, but a matter of chance that takes at least a hundred years.

However, Xuanwei has not yet been connected, and the current generation of golden elixir seeds, only three or four in number, are already accumulated. In the past, the opening of the cave heavens was sometimes in vain, and this kind of “foundation” has settled down –

Unless there is really no fate, it is not very difficult to find a great medicine.

Xu Heng stayed until the last day, not because of his bad luck, but because he wanted to comprehend the changes and operation of the void, so he stayed a little longer.

Supervising the cave was the responsibility of the dwarf Taoist, and these things had not been hidden from his eyes. However, Xu Heng was very tactful, so he could only wave his hand and hurriedly said, “Let’s go.”

Xu Heng did not play nice either, so he descended from the Taiguang Peak and used his escape technique to head for Master Qiao’s cave. Unexpectedly, while flying, he suddenly felt a mountain wind blowing, bringing a thick fog that actually covered his way.

“This is…” Xu Heng looked around and saw that everything was shrouded in clouds and mist. He could not tell where he was going at all. His expression froze slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly heard Master Qiao’s voice, which seemed to come from far away in the mountain fog, saying: “Since Senior Brother Zhong wants to see my disciple, just call him over.”

“But my senior brother is a god, so I don’t think he would embarrass the younger generation.”

Xu Heng did not hear any response. After a while, he heard Master Qiao’s voice again, saying, “Disciple, after meeting Senior Brother Zhong, you can return to the mountain on your own.”

There was no ups and downs in Master Qiao’s voice, but when he spoke to the end, Xu Heng inexplicably felt that he was very far away from him.

And the moment Master Qiao finished speaking, the mountain fog seemed to fade away, and a winding mountain path appeared faintly before their eyes.

Xu Heng was shocked to realize that he had finally found himself on solid ground, somewhere in the mountains, without knowing when.

“Senior Brother Zhong…” Xu Heng knew what this title meant.

He is the current headmaster of the Xuanwei Sect, and the only immortal in the three generations of the four lineages of Xuanwei who has achieved immortality and longevity!

Not bad, immortal.

He has attained the Tao of Xianyang and become a saint, which is already the first-class level of immortals.

People who practice cultivation are the most casual. Even if you are a wanderer or a wild Taoist, and like to call yourself the Immortal of a certain mountain, the True Lord of this place, or this immortal, or that god, usually few people will bother to care about you.

But most of the time, if you are respectful to the pioneers of the great way, it is generally believed that – if you set foot on the golden elixir path and cultivate the true nature, you can be called a “true person.”

If one can hold on to his true nature, cultivate to the point of entering a trance and refining his spirit to return to emptiness, he will be a rare great cultivator in the world, and it will not be an exaggeration to give him all kinds of honorable titles.

But even so, they are still not at the level of gods and immortals. Only those who live forever have achieved immortal merits, and those who have achieved immortality are immortals. In ancient Taoist books, if there are any mentions of immortals, immortal masters, and immortal monarchs, they must all be people of this generation.

Xu Heng looked into the mountain, let out a sigh, and then took another step.

Gradually, Xu Heng seemed to have walked out of the mountain fog. Looking up, he saw bright sunlight shining down from the sky. The lush green leaves on the mountains reflected the light, and when they swayed, it was like the undulations of a sea of ​​light. It seemed that nothing between heaven and earth was not in the “light”.

As he walked in it, he suddenly had a lot of understanding of the word “light”. He raised his hand and tried to circulate his magic power, and light appeared on his fingertips.

Xu Heng was immediately moved, this light was not mysterious light, nor fire light, nor illegal light, but the purest “light” and “brightness”.

It should be noted that since he started practicing, Master Qiao has taught him the superior fire method, and he also knows that when he first starts learning Taoism, he must not be greedy and seek too much, so he has never thought about trying to get in touch with other magic.

Looking at the cultivators in the world, it is actually very rare to find those who practice light magic… Naturally, this kind of Taoism and magic are also very rare.

In other words, Xu Heng had never actually come into contact with any Taoist methods or magic related to “light”, but just by taking a walk in the mountains, he actually had a certain understanding of the nature of “light”.

This is truly a matter of chance. You must know that ‘everything in the world is divided into yin and yang’, and light and darkness are a manifestation of yin and yang.

Being able to come into contact with this way is naturally extremely beneficial for Xu Heng’s comprehension of yin and yang.

Of course, that was later.

Xu Heng put his hands back into his sleeves and looked forward. As the road came to an end, he had arrived at a valley. A stream was flowing in the valley, which seemed to guide him the way out.

Xu Heng continued walking inwards. Not long after, he saw a Taoist sitting cross-legged on a rock beside the stream. His whole body seemed to be covered with a thin layer of light, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

Xu Heng knew that there would be no one else in front of him, so he calmed himself down, bowed respectfully, and called out, “Xu Heng greets Uncle Zhong.”

“Xu Heng.” Although Taoist Zhong’s face was not clear, he seemed to smile slightly and said, “This is the second time I have noticed you.”

Xu Heng was startled for a moment, but he quickly realized when the first time was.

“After the founder created the ‘Yuanwei Xianhua Xuanhong Sword Art’, he only passed it on to the four sect leaders.” Taoist Zhong said slowly: “And these four did not pass on the Xuanhong Sword Art to the third generation.”

“You were able to obtain the ‘Yuanwei Manifestation Xuanhong Sword Art’ and achieve some success in practicing it. This is the credit for my Xuanwei…Taoism inheritance.”

“What reward do you want?”

Xu Heng was a little surprised. He didn’t expect his uncle to say such a thing. He thought for a moment before saying, “I dare not take credit for it.”

“No need to refuse.” Taoist Zhong smiled and said, “I am the headmaster, the guardian of the Xuanwei Daoist tradition. In my eyes, the four sects are all equal.”

“Although you are a disciple of Tianchi, you have inherited the Xuanwei Daoist tradition. If you have made contributions, I can reward you.”

Xu Heng was even more stunned when he heard this. Before he could think of how to agree, he saw Taoist Zhong wave his hand slightly: “Forget it.”

“I don’t think you’ll ask for any reward, so I’ll make the decision for you.”

After he finished speaking, he pointed his finger towards Xu Heng, and immediately a ray of light flowed out and fell into his brow.
