Chapter 156 Foundation Building
Chapter 156 Foundation Building
"Immortals and mortals are forever separated. I don't know whether I should believe it or not. But there is one thing I don't understand. Are there immortals in this world?"
Tian Lin said this and then followed up with another sentence: "When I was seeking immortality, someone said that there is a Guanghan Palace on the moon, and Chang'e lives there. Disciple, may I ask, is there a Guanghan Palace on the moon, and is there Chang'e there?"
Elder Yu shook his head, and he also looked up to the sky, as if he could see the moon in the sky in broad daylight:
"I don't know either. I can't go up to the moon."
Tian Lin laughed and said, "Master, if you can't go up, who in the Dao Sect can go up?"
Elder Yu shook his head again: "No one from the Dao Sect has ever been there."
Tian Lin smiled even more and said, "So, whether immortals and mortals are separated forever, I don't know, and I'm afraid that the people of the Daoist Sect may not know either.
Because, I, as well as the ancestors of the Daoist sect, are all mortals among the immortals!"
Elder Yu laughed out loud when he heard this.
After he laughed, he said to Tian Lin:
"The fact that you can make it here proves that Huang Pingan chose you. For the past three thousand years, he will be watching you and waiting for you to see if you can give him an answer."
Huang Ping'an sought immortality for a hundred years and went to sea when he was over a hundred years old.
I first became a blood believer, then knelt for half a year, and finally got into the Wendao Sect after eating dog shit.
But until his death, although he had reached the Golden Core realm, he was still just an outer disciple.
The immortals and mortals are separated forever, are they really separated forever?
Huang Ping'an died with his eyes wide open, and he rang the bell for five thousand years just to get the answer.
Tian Lin didn’t know whether Huang Ping’an could hear what he had just said, but Tian Lin also had a question.
How is the moon in the sky different from the moon I saw in my previous life?
"I will accept you as my disciple, but you have to cross the sea to come to the Dao Sect to find me. When the time comes, you will take my hand and start as a menial disciple.
Huang Ping'an has been ringing the bell for five thousand years, and I will give you the quota to be my true disciple. But whether you can get the recognition of the Wendao Sect and become a true disciple depends on your own ability.
I hope that in the last three thousand years, Huang Pingan can see the answer from you."
After the old man finished speaking, he pointed towards Tian Lin.
Tian Lin only felt a pain between his eyebrows, but his true energy exploded in his dantian.
In an instant, his twelve meridians frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, converted it into the five elements of true energy and rushed towards his dantian.
He felt as if there were huge waves roaring in his mind.
He closed his eyes at the moment, but he could see every blade of grass and tree within five meters, a hundred meters, or one kilometer.
He closed his eyes, but saw the old man walk out of the Taoist temple and raise his hand to grab at the sky.
A huge tree fell from the sky and was slapped into his pocket by him.
"Go ahead. Yulong Continent is too small. I also want to see if you can really go to the moon and find the answer."
After the old man finished speaking, Tian Lin had returned to the Wendao Mountain.
'Boom, boom!'
The Taoist bell rang at this time. When Tian Lin opened his eyes, he saw Daoshan in a different way.
He looked at the people on the mountain and after exchanging greetings with them, he slapped the token in his storage bag and threw it to Zhou Shoufan below.
"Zhou Shoufan, this is the token you wanted."
Zhou Shoufan was fighting one against four. Suddenly he heard Tian Lin speak and looked up at the flying token.
Just when Zhou Shoufan was about to grab the token, a figure grabbed the token at an extremely fast speed.
When Tian Lin just appeared in Wendao Mountain, he had already discovered Xue En.
At this time, Xue En laughed triumphantly and rushed to the second platform with the token.
Tian Lin did not stop Xue En, but said to Zhou Shoufan below:
"Zhou Shoufan, Xue En killed you in the illusion and bullied your mother. I look down on him very much—"
As soon as these words came out, Xue En's face changed drastically, and he glared at Tian Lin and said, "You bastard, do you think that you can ignore me now that you have reached the foundation building stage?"
Indeed, Tian Lin’s cultivation in the initial stage of foundation building was still not good enough in front of the people present.
So when he saw Xue En coming forward, he immediately used the Wind Walk spell to walk down the stone steps.
Xue En took two steps forward, but then gave up chasing Tian Lin.
Because compared to hunting down Tian Lin, leaving Cangzhou through the teleportation array is more important.
The Zhou family’s token is a teleportation talisman, and the stone table on the second-level platform is a teleportation array.
At this moment, Tian Lin finally understood why there were only nine mountains on the token in the illusion, while the map shown by the token he got had ten mountains.
Because the extra mountain called Wendao Mountain was added by Zhou Shoufan.
The token is a teleportation symbol, and the so-called map it displays is actually mainly intended to anchor the space where the teleportation array is located.
"Young man Xue En, you are courting death!"
Just as Xue En walked to the teleportation array, Zhou Shoufan appeared beside Xue En in an instant.
What about the late stage of foundation building?
Xue En just exchanged glances with Zhou Shoufan, then immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before he could make any move, the token in his hand had already slipped back into Zhou Shoufan's hand.
Xue En's face changed drastically, and he ran down the mountain in an instant. How could Zhou Shoufan let him leave?
It’s a pity that although Zhou Shoufan’s spirit is extraordinary, his cultivation is only at the initial stage of foundation building, so he was unable to defeat Xue En instantly.
"Mr. Zhou, I've already returned the token to you, why are you chasing me?"
Xue En ran fast enough, but Zhou Shoufan was not slow in chasing him either.
Among those present, Tian Lin knew best that Zhou Qinshi was Zhou Shoufan's Achilles' heel.
What he just said was enough to make Zhou Shoufan want to kill Xue En.
"This guy Xue En is in trouble now."
Liu Xuanfeng couldn't help but finish his words, then he turned his head to look at Tian Lin, and said to Tian Lin: "Fellow Daoist Tian, congratulations."
Tian Lin hurriedly said, "Master, if I have done anything wrong, please punish me."
Liu Xuanfeng said: "I don't mean to mock you, but you have become a foundation-building cultivator, so we should be friends on an equal footing——"
Elder Liu looked at Tian Lin very seriously and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, I wonder if the Immortal Binding Rope is still with you?"
Tian Lin hesitated slightly, but thinking that Elder Liu had been quite indulgent towards him in the past and had indeed taught him some skills, he took out the Immortal Binding Rope from his storage bag.
Elder Liu took the immortal rope and looked at Tian Lin in a much more friendly manner.
At this time, Elder Xiao couldn't help but ask him: "I heard from the Zhou family's ancestor that he asked for the Immortal Binding Rope for you?"
Elder Liu nodded and said, "Yes, I will help him to revive. One of the conditions is that he helps me collect all five immortal ropes, including the two broken ones."
Elder Xiao frowned when he heard this: "What do you want this bundle of immortal rope for?"
"Of course it's for goodwill."
Elder Xiao was particularly dissatisfied when he heard this and said, "I think Shang Yu is not as good as Tian Lin in terms of talent or character.
Why did you leave Tian Lin alone and go to Shang Yu? I heard that you tried your best to get Junior Brother He to accept him as your disciple, but his goal was to kill you. "
Elder Liu stroked his beard complacently: "I know he wants to kill me, so I have been waiting for him to kill me."
Elder Xiao couldn't figure out Elder Liu's thoughts, so he frowned and asked Elder Liu, "You said that Zhou Shoufan helping you collect the Immortal Binding Ropes was one of your conditions, so what's the second condition?"
"The second condition is that after he goes to Cangzhou, he must not forget his fellow disciples in Yulong Continent."
Elder Xiao sneered when he heard this and said, "If he goes to Cangzhou, will he bring us the thousand-year-old wood? Do you believe this?"
Elder Liu shook his head: "It's hard to say - but I have been planning for decades for the thousand-year dilemma of Yulong Continent. Zhou Shoufan is just a casual move of mine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shoufan's voice rang out:
"Since you, Liu Xuanfeng, like playing chess so much, we should play a good game of chess when we have a chance. But where is your apprentice?"
After Zhou Shoufan finished asking, Liu Xuanfeng asked Elder Xiao, "Hey, where did Junior Brother Tian go? Did you see him?"
Elder Xiao shook his head and said, "He seems to have gone to the first stone step of the third section, or maybe the second stone step?"
Only Elder He asked, "Didn't Tian Lin follow Xue En down the mountain when he escaped?"
Seeing that Zhou Shoufan was about to go down the mountain again, Liu Xuanfeng suddenly said:
"Ancestor Zhou, the teleportation array on the second-floor platform seems to be cracking. If you don't teleport now, I'm afraid that when you come back later, the teleportation array will not be usable."
Zhou Shoufan threw Xue En's grinning head away, turned to look at Liu Xuanfeng, and said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
Liu Xuanfeng grinned and said, "How can I, a junior, dare to threaten you, the ancestor? That teleportation array is really going to break apart."
Zhou Shoufan sneered and turned to the stone table on the second-floor platform.
He placed the token into the groove on the stone table, and in an instant the space on the stone table was distorted.
"Huang Ping'an has been seeking the truth for his whole life, but he never got the answer until his death. What do you mean immortals and mortals are forever separated, and ghosts cannot enter? I want to enter——
And you, Liu Xuanfeng, you pin your hopes on a few idle moves. In my opinion, the people you picked are not as good as you. "
After he finished speaking, the token on the stone table and he himself disappeared.
Elder Xiao walked up to the platform, looked at the stone case in silence for a while and said:
"He said something right, it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. There's one thing I don't understand. Since you know that this is a teleportation array that can be used to teleport away, why don't you leave for Cangzhou by yourself?
At least when you went to Cangzhou, you should find a way to send the thousand-year-old tree back."
Liu Xuanfeng shook his head and said, "Many things cannot be done by one person. At the beginning, you, I and Xing Tongtian, the three of us always believed that as long as the three of us worked together, there would be nothing that could not be done.
Later on, I became more and more convinced of this - I also thought that if I went to Cangzhou, I would definitely find a way to bring back the thousand-year-old wood.
But what if I go to Cangzhou and never come back? "
He said: "Dandelions are very fragile by nature. But a dandelion has hundreds or thousands of seeds -
Most of these seeds will not survive if they are scattered or fall into water or a forest that is completely blocked from sunlight. But there will always be a small number that can take root and eventually grow. "
At this point, Liu Xuanfeng suddenly asked, "Where is Tian Lin?"
Elder Xiao said, "This kid is very cunning. After Zhou Shoufan chased Xue En down the mountain, this kid had already slipped away. I'm afraid he won't come out easily."
Liu Xuanfeng was furious and said, "Hurry up and find this guy. I suspect he is hiding something.
If he didn't have a way to leave Yulong Continent, would he be so willing to return the token to Zhou Shoufan?"
