Chapter 578: Chapter 104: 100 Great Taos, Entering the Underworld_2

Heaven, Earth, Man.

"The conflict between heaven and earth and the Human Race."

Ghost Strategy, old thief, your skills are not as good as mine, huh.

Old Man Tianji couldn’t help but feel a secret joy in his heart and said, "This old man deduces a conflict of the Four Phases."

"The Four Phases?"

Ghost Strategy showed a look of surprise, then continually calculated with his fingers, vaguely touching the edges but unable to grasp the truth.

Moments later, he was sweating profusely, and impatiently asked, "Where do the Four Phases come from?"

"The heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

"..."

Ghost Strategy’s face turned black in an instant. He detested this particular attitude of the other party the most.

But he had to admit that Old Man Tianji had deeper power and was more adept at peering into the heavenly secrets. Ghost Strategy focused more on altering fate rather than observing those unspeakable secrets.

While the two were speaking, three more young cultivators of divination arrived, considered their younger generation.

The newcomers greeted with cupped fists and also stated they were there for the great opportunity.

Two hours later, a cultivator from the City Lord Mansion came out and posted a notice.

Everyone immediately walked over to see that it read [Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, seeking those who can measure heavenly secrets].

"A great opportunity, truly a great opportunity!"

A cultivator whose cultivation was no more than a Golden Core was flushed with excitement, in stark contrast to Old Man Tianji’s attitude.

Just the words Heavenly Venerate were enough to make them flock to it, let alone with the prefix of Yuqing.

This is one of the Three Pure Ones, and the current head of the Heavenly Venerates.

"If one can gain the favor of the Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, the path of the Tao will be smooth thereafter!"

"I think it would be rising to great heights; I’ve heard fellow Taoists from the Sanqing Taoist Sect say that the current Heavenly Venerate is first on the Three Lists, and even eight hundred years ago the Sword Master was no match for him."

"First on the Three Lists? These Three Lists were established by the Immortals, and even the Immortals recognized the strength of the Yuqing Heavenly Venerate."

The three youngsters argued, their debate content making people laugh.

Old Man Tianji knew more, but he couldn’t laugh at all; he vaguely felt that he might have missed an opportunity.

Ghost Strategy immediately tore down the notice and sought the Taiyi City Lord. This time, the situation was entirely opposite to the first time Old Man Tianji came; he had to wait half an hour to see the other party.

Only then did the Taiyi City Lord arrive leisurely, frowning slightly when he saw Old Man Tianji in the crowd.

Secretly he thought: Is this old thing muddled? A few days ago, he was reluctant; Yuqing Heavenly Venerate kindly let you go, so why are you rushing here now?

He’s really not eating the toast and eating the penalty instead!

If only he had been a bit more proper a few days ago, so many issues wouldn’t have arisen. Also, the Deputy City Lord is a complete fool; can the Heavenly Venerate’s affairs be casually inquired about?

First, he sought someone to inquire about Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, and then True Martial Demon Cleansing Heavenly Venerate knew. It’s said that the great lord was furious and wanted to cut him down; whether he can survive is unknown.

He only needed to make sure he wasn’t implicated.

The Taiyi City Lord was quite scheming and did not react on the spot, nor did he speak with any sarcasm.

Ignoring Old Man Tianji, he said amicably to everyone, "Please register your Taoist titles, cultivation, and sects. Three days later, you may take the Wanli Boat to Broken Sword Mountain to meet Yuqing Heavenly Venerate."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of diviners reached eleven, with more continually arriving.

Regardless of their skills, none were willing to miss this opportunity.

Old Man Tianji gradually realized, recalling Ghost Strategy’s words, that he was too focused on misfortune and did not see the fortune.

Now, having left Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, the misfortune still lingered, indicating it was indeed fortune.

Crack!

The crisp sound spread; Ghost Strategy, who was just basking in the juniors’ flattery, turned to see Old Man Tianji, his old face flushed.

"Old man, have you gone senile?"

"There were mosquitoes."

After a series of twists and turns, the Wanli Boat departed from Taiyi City.

-----------------

Broken Sword Mountain, Sword Master’s secluded courtyard.

At dawn, the sunlight spilled onto Gu Wen’s face, and as he opened his eyes, he saw a Bodhisattva, and the sunlight was Buddha’s light.

Jade Sword Dharma said expressionlessly, "Morning."

Gu Wen only felt his head buzzing, with Buddhist scriptures echoing in his ears, while Little Taoist Master in the Qi Sea was chanting Amitabha.

The path of Buddha is eight feet six inches long.

He felt somewhat dizzy, as if hungover. Every time Jade Sword Buddha chanted scriptures for him, he unintentionally comprehended a bit.

It seemed like highly concentrated Buddhist principles would seep into his less concentrated mind.

Gu Wen sat up and pointed to his thigh, and Jade Sword Buddha obediently came over and lay down.

A faint noise emerged from within the house, with a distinct rhythm.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The sound echoed throughout the courtyard, stopping at the threshold, not leaking a bit outside.

The courtyard had six side chambers, was ten zhang wide, and had complete seating, everywhere conveying a small and beautiful lifestyle.

Xiao Yunyi usually did not stay here, spending most of his time meditating at the Sword Pond. After Gu Wen and the two others moved in, he often returned, roughly once every three days.

For the most part, only Gu Wen and the two others were present, so no outsiders heard any unusual sounds.

Gu Wen slapped the butt of Jade Sword Buddha heavily, and the latter gritted his teeth and endured, receiving dozens of hits before wobblingly getting up.

The young nun, covering her butt, said nonchalantly like a dead pig unafraid of scalding water, "Amitabha, Benefactor Gu possesses Buddha Heart. To comprehend the Buddha’s principles only takes a moment."

"Do you enjoy being hit by me?"

Gu Wen smiled insincerely; initially, he only slapped her bald head, and later, her buttocks.

Yet no matter what, this young nun seemed unyielding.

Jade Sword Buddha still used the same excuse, saying, "I only wish to enlighten Benefactor Gu."

"What did Yu Hua say to you?"

"..."

Jade Sword Buddha began to feign as a statue again; Gu Wen sighed helplessly, deciding not to bicker.

He had long been accustomed to this young nun’s obstinacy.

"How about this, shall we agree to three conditions?"
