Episode 134

  Insufficiently erect on a small hill, he suddenly raised his eyes to gaze at the dark horizon.

  "These five cultivators actually entered the valley with a blood oath, from this it can be seen that their hearts are not small. Apart from wanting to obtain the rare treasures, immortal materials, and spiritual medicines within the valley, they also want to capture a certain family to gain merit! However, since they joined forces, it's indeed difficult to make a move. Alas, forget it, I'll set up another Nine Palaces Soul-Confusing Array to block them. If that doesn't work, I can only take risks and attack, killing them off! Must they still enter this place of mist and fog to seek death?"

  Insufficient to carefully observe this layered and fallen earth mound, ravine, forest, and shrubbery. That kind of serene and dark blue light is already familiar and intimate. Countless spiritual medicines were obtained from it. Now, I can even borrow its life-saving power! Insufficient to choose nine earth mounds as the location for the Nine Palaces formation, and then sighed:

  "Alas! I've just obtained this rare and precious material, but it seems that this time, I'll probably end up using it all up again."

  Insufficient as it was, he muttered to himself and went to the ravines in the forest to lay out that array of mystical bases. This matter could not be accomplished in a short time. However, Insufficient had already made it clear that the five of them would take years to decipher the Sword Array of Ten Thousand Kalpas. With this amount of time to lay out the array, it wasn't as if they were in a great hurry.

  It's been several years, and although Yuanwai Zhen'er knew that her life was not in danger, she couldn't find the reason for her confinement, which made her anxious. Fortunately, she is now acquainted with the families of Taizong Dazhanglao and Gaotang Dazhanglao.

  "Are you willing to go to the Fairy Street Market with us today, like a younger sister?"

  "Three seniors, I wouldn't dare address you as junior sister."

  "Hmph! I've said it hundreds of times already, we can't keep being so formal with each other. If not, I'll get angry!"

  "But if the fellow disciples in the sect find out, I will definitely be punished."

  "Don't speak of this to outsiders, who can know?"

  "It's just..."

  "You're like a younger sister to me. How can you be so petty? Eldest Brother has already treated you this way, don't tell me you really don't understand his feelings?"

  "You think you can become a low-ranking disciple under me, and receive my guidance? That would be truly fortunate for you in three lifetimes. But how dare you have such thoughts? You are nothing but a fleeting cloud to me, while I am on the path to immortality, and will surely ascend to greatness one day. At that time, won't you become an obstacle to me?! Such a crime would be unforgivable!"

  "You are indeed a true and natural person, and you have actually planned for me so deeply! You are like my younger sister. Although I received teachings from our benevolent teacher and obtained the Inverse Heaven Method, I should have been cultivating diligently. However, I admire the harmony of yin and yang between our respected teachers, and the beauty of their zither-like relationship is truly great. If in this life I can cultivate together with you like they do, that would be my greatest wish!"

  "You are like a younger sister to me, and Big Brother's words were very sincere. You should have responded directly, why did you act coyly instead?"

  "Seniors do not know how difficult it is for you. You have a senior brother, who has been with you since childhood, and was arranged by the master to be married when you were young. After the master passed away, I followed his guidance and cultivated until now, and he helped me countless times in trouble, and his kindness is really hard to repay. Although I have a mind to follow seniors now, this knot is difficult to open, how can I be at peace with my original heart? If I really pretend not to know and surrender to seniors, how can this temperament match the great ability of seniors? Even if it's all seniors, they will also see you as being unfeeling!"

  "What you said is very good. But how can we solve the knot in your heart about your teacher's sister?"

  "Senior, it's not that I'm belittling you, but this matter is probably beyond even your control!"

  "Alas! Is there nothing we brothers can do?"

  Cultivating the Tao

  "What's wrong? You can tell me if it doesn't matter."

  "My elder brother in the same school is Feng Cheng!"

  "Ah!"

  The three brothers looked at each other in surprise, one of them exclaimed:

  "Is it that puppet Feng Cheng?"

  "Exactly!"

  "This matter, this matter......this matter is indeed difficult to handle."

  The elder brother was embarrassed.

  "You also know it very well. It's just a matter of confirming where he is and whether he is still in this world."

  "This isn't difficult. He is in......"

  "Junior Brother!"

  "Big Brother, Feng Cheng is being held in custody, and there are many people in the door who know where he is. Even if you do know about it, what's the harm?"

  "Oh! Senior, don't be troubled! Actually, I also know where the detention place is. It's in the forbidden land of Wan Jie Yuan within my family's Yi Xiu Gate."

  Chang'er's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she sighed.

  The elder brother said awkwardly:

  "Don't be surprised, this matter is confidential and of great importance. I dare not speak rashly even to my senior brother!"

  "Oh! You should know it already! I still have something to attend to at the place of my master, the Great One True Person, so I bid you farewell!"

  During this time, three of them looked at each other gloomily and left, one of them indignantly said:

  "Senior brother, why are you being so cautious? That Poyun is an extremely yin body, and senior brother is exactly at the small round full bottle neck time. Only by combining with an extremely yin body can one stimulate the xuan yang energy and have a chance to break through in one move. Now, the opportunity is right before our eyes, but it will pass in an instant. Senior brother is actually retreating instead?"

  "My younger brother's words are not unknown to me! However, the secrets of our sect are not trivial matters, and I dare not defy them."

  "Secrets of the sect! Hmph! Where is one's own advancement important? Even if Big Brother Master were to disappear, would the sect care? We cultivators are merely borrowing the power of the sect, why view it as family?! Big Brother Master must not be mistaken!"

  "This, let me think about it!"

  The elder brother frowned and lowered his head in silence.

  Chang'er was about to leave when she attached a strand of spiritual energy to the grass leaves in this place, and had already understood all that San Xiu had said. She let out a cold hum and returned to Taiyi Female True Person's place. The female true person was not there, so Chang'er searched for books in her library as usual, hoping to gain something. It has been like this for a long time. However, the books did not contain any secrets of the Wanjie Abyss.

  The three brothers returned to the city from Xianjie, and the eldest brother remained silent. Wan Jie Yuan knew that this was also not feasible for him. Even if he wanted to tell Fu Qianru, it was beyond his power. However, in his heart, he was greatly moved. This matter required clarifying Wan Jie Yuan's location first, and then informing Fu Qianru. As long as she willingly practiced dual cultivation with him, the harmony of yin and yang would be achieved, and the power of Xuan Yang would be activated. At that time, Xiao Yuanman would achieve great success, and his cultivation would break through to the realm of entering the Tao. After such thoughts, he realized that his desire for cultivation was strong, and his personal desires outweighed the interests of the sect. He then left the house and went to the residence of his two younger brothers.

  "Master Brother's intention......"

  "Two younger brothers, my mind is made up! I must get through this pass and enter the realm of the Tao, that's the right principle! So I humbly ask you two virtuous brothers to help me succeed, if there's anything you need in the future, I'll definitely do my best!"

  "Master brother, isn't this courtesy too excessive! We three brothers have been helping and protecting each other for hundreds of years, at this time we should be assisting each other, why the need for so much courtesy?"

  "It's exactly this principle! If Master Big Brother can enjoy the realm of entering the Tao, he will definitely be able to help us two advance quickly. Two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

  "This is a wonderful statement! If I, your foolish brother, achieve anything, I will not disappoint my two younger brothers. However, if we shut ourselves away to cultivate our skills and avoid the mundane affairs of the sect, how can we possibly understand all the mysteries of the universe?"

  "Master Big Brother is so foolish! With our status, why must we personally take action to obtain the sect's secrets? Isn't it difficult for even the disciples of the sect to disobey us?"

  "I'm not ignorant, I just fear the two masters' authority."

  "It's just a small matter, what does it have to do with us knowing about it? Would Master really care that much?"

  "Should I send one of my trusted followers to investigate?"

  "Master brother, in my opinion, it's better to call the master of that door and ask him directly and clearly rather than trying to figure out his secret."

  Third Master said in a low voice.

  "Not good, not good! Although we're not afraid of trouble, our ancestors and masters don't get along, so let's be careful in case someone tries to stir up trouble. Besides, this matter isn't easy to rush, let's take it slow. You seem like a clever little girl who can't be easily fooled, taking a bit more time will make it look like Big Brother is putting his heart and soul into this matter!"

  "Second Master's words are reasonable. Ah San, under my brother's door, is a clever and cunning person, but what's most important is that this child is loyal, I have no doubts about it, we can use him to plot."

  "Master brother's words are useful, so it must be this person. How it works is up to him, we just need the result."

  "It's just that both of you brothers need to help each other."

  "Elder brother, don't worry, we will set up doubts and confusions to deceive people, it won't come to the point where someone suspects me."

  "Thank you, both of you."

  Then these three people called A San over and carefully planned without mentioning it.
