Chapter 601: Chapter 114: Learning About Yu Hua’s Recent Situation_2

"Ah?"

Hee Huan was clearly stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Brother Gu is still as humorous as ever. When I first met you, I thought you were a cold stony figure like Taoist Friend Xiao. Throughout history, countless great powers have never seen a pure land that stands independent of heaven and earth."

"An individual can become an immortal and transcend, but the transcendence of heaven and earth is unheard of, even strong beings like Jianmu must rely on heaven and earth."

Gu Wen was speechless, and gradually Hee Huan couldn’t laugh anymore. He wasn’t mocking the other, just listening as a joke.

"Are you serious?"

"Mm."

Gu Wen nodded, and Hee Huan’s eyes visibly widened, falling into silence for a moment.

"What’s your plan?"

"If I tell you, will you understand?"

Gu Wen looked sincere, leaving Hee Huan momentarily speechless.

The method is indescribable; often Qi Cultivation involves absorbing Spiritual Energy into the body, but many simply cannot.

What is a Saint, what is an Immortal?

The latter has many descriptions throughout history, but if you really ask Hee Huan, he doesn’t know, because he’s only at the Mahayana Realm.

Food can only be eaten bite by bite, and the path must be taken step by step.

Qi Cultivation does not understand the true essence of the Golden Core, the Golden Core does not understand the marvels of the Nascent Soul, and the Nascent Soul does not understand the mysteries of Returning to Void.

Hee Huan shifted the topic: "Let’s talk about Taoist Friend Jade Buddha and Taoist Friend Chi instead. According to my agreement with Taoist Friend Yu Hua, I need to find at least two beauties for you to enjoy the happiness of having multiple partners. I’m very good at this."

Gu Wen said helplessly: "Can’t you pick something else?"

"Do you want Taoist Friend Xuan Jin? Or even Taoist Friend Chan Xi?!"

Hee Huan exclaimed, and in the next moment, he flew ten miles away.

Not long after, he shamelessly returned, clinging onto Gu Wen’s shoulder, saying:

"I’m not joking, entrusted by others means I must do my best. Honestly, cultivators accept having multiple partners more than mortal women do. Because we don’t distinguish between wife and concubine, strong ones are more self-centered and don’t care about others’ views."

"I used to have over a hundred Daoist Couples, and conflicts often occurred among those in Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment, but it became completely different at the Golden Core stage."

Gu Wen curiously asked, "Why?"

Hee Huan laughed: "Golden Core lifespan is five hundred years, does not consume ordinary grains, absorbs wind and drinks dew, already considered transcendent. People’s hearts change because of this, regardless of gender, they care more about cultivation."

Gu Wen looked thoughtful, recalling ten years with Yu Hua.

The two of them usually did not cultivate; most of the time, they traveled, tasted delicacies, admired flowers and the moon, even pretended to be knights of justice.

Gu Wen even killed an Emperor of the Jiang family, chopping off the head and kicking it to the market, leaving it untouched for three days.

The next Emperor became benevolent.

What they talked about the most was the past, inevitably involving people like Chi Yu Zi.

Then Yu Hua always got jealous, like it was a spice in their life, and there were always quarrels over Gu Wen’s relationships with other women.

After the quarrel, they’d reconcile after sharing duties that night.

Gu Wen shook his head and said: "At least Yu Hua isn’t."

"Oh my brother, why are you so honest? Back then, you were fiercer than anyone when snatching Daqian’s things, but why are you so timid in relationships?"

Hee Huan said in frustration: "She promised herself, could she really go against it later? Besides, even if Taoist Friend Yu Hua is proud, she wants to shine herself, but you can persist because she’s in the wrong."

"Or maybe Taoist Friend Chi, I see she doesn’t care about status, just favoring you, and you with her aren’t a Daoist Couple either."

"It’s of no benefit to me, why must there be intimacy?"

Gu Wen slightly shook his head; he just wanted to understand why cultivators differ from mortals.

Hee Huan furrowed his brows, pondering to later offer something good to Gu Wen to persuade Chi Yu Zi.

The two of them are nearly in synch, why are they still treating each other with respect?

He’s getting anxious!

His face remained calm, sighing: "Since you don’t want it, I won’t force it. But I’ll still say love has never been lowly, you can’t wait for a girl to take the initiative."

Gu Wen said helplessly: "You’re at the Mahayana stage, why care about this?"

"Should I not care and discuss Dao with you?"

Hee Huan sighed like an old man, looking lonely, seemingly unable to intervene in Gu Wen’s life.

He’s thinking if it doesn’t work out, someone has to block it.

At this moment, a voice from outside:

"Gu Wen, I’ve brought you the bug back."

Hee Huan asked in confusion: "Why did Taoist Friend Chi bring back a bug?"

"It’s Ao Heng, the former Dragon Clan Saint Heir."

Gu Wen answered casually, taking a step out of the Grotto Heaven.

——————————————

The outside world.

Ao Heng stood upright, leaning his right hand against his back, maintaining basic etiquette on the surface, not losing the demeanor of a strong figure.

He stared intently at the Jade Pendant floating in mid-air.

Suddenly, two figures appeared, and a familiar face came into view.

A face that’s neat and pleasing, wearing a white feather and gold thread Daoist robe, its subtle aura making him shiver.

The aura of Qingcang!

Facing him, Ao Heng felt no pressure, Gu Wen was calm like a mortal, forming a striking contrast with the Daoist robe he was wearing.

Many memories involuntarily surged.

Ao Heng’s first Dao Heart damage was because of him, still remembering clearly that arrogant sentence from the other.

’To lose to me is not a disgrace, but an honor.’

"Long time no see."

Gu Wen nodded in greeting, his good attitude left Ao Heng a bit astonished.

He quickly answered: "Eight hundred years no see, didn’t expect Taoist Friend to come out."

"You, this long bug, think you’re worthy of calling him Taoist Friend?"

Chi Yu Zi’s cold voice came through, with a killing intent causing Ao Heng to tense subconsciously, nearly using Escape Skill to flee.

But he restrained his instinct well, knowing at this point running was useless.

"Why such a big temper, we’re originally from the same generation, calling him Taoist Friend is nothing."

Gu Wen pulled Chi Yu Zi to sit beside him, ruffling her hair, and the latter didn’t resist, just complained with a hum.

At this moment, Ao Heng noticed that the Demon Cleansing Heavenly Venerate that frightens many in the Devil Clan was actually a petite girl in a red brocade robe.

Her features were small and exquisite, like a porcelain doll, with endless sharpness between her brows, yet under these features, she seemed very amicable.

At least she did under Gu Wen’s comforting and care.

"What are you looking at, look again and I’ll gouge your eyes out!"

A reprimand made Ao Heng shift his gaze, while Hee Huan felt oddly familiar, like he had returned to his youth.

Back then, Chi Yu Zi treated pursuers the same way.

Seeing this, Gu Wen couldn’t help but smile: "It’s been years, you sure have changed a lot, much more pleasing than before."

Back then, Ao Heng had the demeanor of "second only to heaven, I’m the first," everyone had to kneel when seeing him.

Now being reprimanded by Chi Yu Zi, it’s not just because of me. From his subconscious actions, it can be seen that Chi Yu Zi’s accumulated prestige over eight hundred years has been immense.

Back then, Chi Yu Zi didn’t even qualify to spar with him.

Now the once unruly Ao Heng has learned that knowing the times is wise.

"Tell me what you know."

Ao Heng recounted everything from beginning to end.

When he mentioned someone approaching Yu Hua, he inexplicably felt a chill on his spine, but luckily Gu Wen remained calm throughout.

"That’s all I know, the ancestors didn’t tell me why they went to the underworld, and I have never seen the Great Saint there, that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva only chants and preaches."

After speaking, Ao Heng ceased talking.

Gu Wen showed thought, rapidly filtering out crucial information from it.

The Devil Clan is preparing for breeding and war, Ancestor Dragon tossed Ao Heng into the underworld, Ksitigarbha should be the demon originally on the Jade Sword Buddha, with inconsistent attitude towards Yu Hua.
