Chapter 419: Chapter 183: Hard to Rid the Heart of Thieves (3rd Update, Please Subscribe)_3

The Old Heavenly Master saw these people still unwilling to leave and couldn’t help but hold his forehead, "All of you go down. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens."

Seeing that the Old Heavenly Master really refused to tell the truth, everyone could only leave begrudgingly while also repeatedly reminding the Heavenly Master not to stoop to the level of the Heavenly Demon Star.

Everything can be discussed.

The main concern is that the Heavenly Master is of advanced age; what if he becomes muddled?

So, they kept reminding him as much as possible.

In fact, if it were a year or two ago when Xu Qing went up the mountain, they wouldn’t have looked down on him through their nostrils, but at least there wasn’t much to worry about.

The Ming Sect of the Confucian school and their Heavenly Master Mansion are not on the same path.

It’s just that Xu Qing, with the prestige of the Yansheng Gong Mansion, has achieved success, and everyone has to acknowledge it whether they like it or not.

Don’t they all just want to live out their twilight years in peace? What could be wrong with that?

...

...

After the clan elders left, the Old Heavenly Master also felt that there were indeed too many good-for-nothings in the Heavenly Master Mansion of the Zhang Family. But he had no choice because the Taoists of Dragon Tiger Mountain were not allowed to hold official positions, and when asked to go out and preach, these folks would complain about the hardships.

Why go out and struggle when one could enjoy the fruits of others’ labor at home?

On the contrary, it is the Taoists from outside the Zhang Family name at Dragon Tiger Mountain who have produced some talents.

Because they do not bear the Zhang name, going to Dragon Tiger Mountain is merely for the sake of gold plating; they have to strive in their careers on their own.

What made him even angrier was that the next generation of Heavenly Master successors he had his eye on had been seduced by the Heart Moon Fox before perfecting the Golden Light Spell, leading to impure spirit and energy and thus skewing the practice of the Golden Light Spell.

Actually, this isn’t a big deal either.

Once someone’s cultivation reaches profound levels, they can naturally convert yin to yang.

The problem is, he now needs someone proficient in the Golden Light Spell to assist him, and after much consideration, he could only turn to Xu Gongming.

In fact, Yan Kong had written to him long ago about Xu Qing’s cultivation of the Golden Light Spell.

Moreover, apart from relying on the Heavenly Master’s Degree, it’s nearly impossible for an outsider to master the Golden Light Spell.

This is also why the Heavenly Master Mansion didn’t care about the secret techniques of the Golden Light Spell’s cultivation being left in the Golden Ray Monastery. Firstly, it was due to an agreement with the Red Moon Zen Master from the past, and secondly, it really wasn’t worth the bother.

Who would have expected that Xu Gongming, the anomaly, would indeed succeed in cultivating it?

It was only after looking into Xu Gongming’s background that he realized he was the orphan from the Xu Family of Jiangning.

In this predestined arrangement, there seemed really to be a bit of fate involved.

Sigh, witnessing how even an orphan from another family could achieve so much, while his own family is full of good-for-nothings, the Heavenly Master couldn’t help but doubt life.

Actually, it’s also because the Heavenly Master has lived too long; at the time of his birth, the Great Yu Dynasty was still in its heyday, and both civil governance and martial prowess were remarkable, so the spirit of that generation was naturally different.

Later on, when he was about twenty or thirty years old, he experienced the Emperor’s journey to study in the North Country and the jeopardy of the divine column nearly collapsing.

It was during that critical situation that two Martial Saints of the Great Yu Dynasty were born.

And on the grasslands, a Martial Saint was also born in that great battle.

Others may not know whether these few old fellows are still around.

But with the strong Divine Soul of the Old Heavenly Master, who has been stuck at the threshold of the Ghost Immortal for many years, by relying on the secret techniques of the Heavenly Master Mansion and the Heavenly Master’s Degree, even below the Ghost Immortal, he can continue to increase Divine Soul Power.

In terms of the strength of Divine Soul Power, he might even be stronger than some Ghost Immortals who have passed through the Heavenly Tribulation.

If it weren’t for the presence of Old Monster Fang in Yingtian Prefecture, the Old Heavenly Master could be considered the foremost person in Dao Skill of the present age.

Unfortunately, the difficulty of breaking through the Ghost Immortal Barrier in peaceful times is unimaginably high, and that’s just one of the key factors, the other being issues of their own.

It’s not that the higher the talent and Comprehension, the easier it is to break through the Ghost Immortal Barrier.

But to pass through the heavenly tribulation of a Ghost Immortal, a mediocre talent and foundation make it nearly impossible to cross over.

The difficulty of Cultivation is not found here, then it’s found there.

Always unexpected.

Therefore, as long as Old Monster Fang has not broken through to become a Ghost Immortal, the Old Heavenly Master can accept it.

If Old Monster Fang has broken through and he has not, the Old Heavenly Master would surely experience the collapse of his Dao heart.

After all, under the Heavenly Dao, the grievance is not in scarcity, but in inequity!

This is the latent demon of his heart that he cannot eradicate!
