“The Old Man will soon condense his own essence blood and Nascent Soul into lamp oil!”
“As long as this Golden Lamp is lit, the Tai Xu Sect’s aura and Luck will remain unchanged, just as before!”
“I hope this Golden Lamp can burn for sixty years!”
Taixu Old Ancestor said slowly, and He Pingsheng listened with trepidation.
Is this Old Man really going to die?
No more Possession?
“I ask you for one thing!” Taixu Old Ancestor stared at He Pingsheng: “Can you agree?”
He Pingsheng cupped his hands: “Please instruct me, Master!”
“Good, good, good!” Taixu Old Ancestor said: “It’s good that you still recognize me as your Master!”
“After I’m gone, this Golden Lamp can burn for about sixty years. During these sixty years, you must cultivate diligently and strive to enter the Nascent Soul Realm!”
“Once you enter Nascent Soul, with the advantage of your Five Elements Spiritual Root, you will surely dominate a region!”
“At that time, with the help of these Defense Arrays in the Sect, you can easily contend with the Beast Taming Immortal Sect!”
“I don’t ask you to make the Tai Xu Sect prosper, I only ask that you provide shelter for these Disciples, so that they don’t become rootless and wander around as rogue Cultivators!”
He Pingsheng was silent for a moment, then said: “I may not be able to do it. After all, I am currently just a small Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there are still five Golden Core Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters above me!”
“That is natural!” Taixu Old Ancestor said: “This matter is about intent, not outcome. It’s enough that you agree. If something unexpected happens in the middle and you can’t defend the Tai Xu Sect, then there’s no need to defend it to the death.”
“But remember one thing: where there’s life, there’s hope!”
“If there’s an unexpected change in the middle that causes the Golden Lamp to extinguish prematurely, don’t think about anything else, immediately activate the teleportation Formation and leave.”
“As long as a person is alive, there is hope for everything!”
“Look over here!”
The Old Man’s withered hand, like a branch, pointed to a corner of the main hall.
In that corner, there was another three-foot-high platform.
He Pingsheng had always wondered what this high platform was before.
Taixu Old Ancestor said: “This is the teleportation Formation I just mentioned!”
“According to the Five Elements rules, there are eighty-one Spirit Stone slots on it. Before using it, place the Spirit Stones according to their Five Elements attributes in sequence, and a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone is needed as the Formation eye to activate this Formation, which can instantly teleport you a hundred thousand miles away!”
“If there ever comes a day when the Sect is broken, you can use this teleportation Formation to leave!”
“Remember one thing: after you teleport, you will appear in another place, where there is an identical teleportation platform. You must destroy that teleportation platform so that the enemy cannot track you!”
“Did you remember?”
He Pingsheng nodded and said: “Yes, Master, Disciple has remembered!”
“The few cultivation resources I had here have also been completely divided up by these unfilial descendants!” Taixu Old Ancestor shook his head: “Therefore, there’s nothing left for you!”
“After I turn into lamp oil, I will place the Golden Lamp in the main hall and light it!”
“The Old Man… is leaving!”
After speaking, Taixu Old Ancestor sat cross-legged on the ground, and then a Glass-like palm-sized Nascent Soul emerged from the top of his head.
The Nascent Soul’s appearance was very similar to Taixu Old Ancestor when he was young.
“Kid!” The Nascent Soul, having completed Soul Emergence, looked at He Pingsheng and said: “Before I go, I’ll give you one more life motto!”
He Pingsheng said: “Disciple is all ears!”
“Remember!” The Nascent Soul said: “If you can’t win, run!”
“Hahaha…”
“Suck!”
Rumble…
Under He Pingsheng’s astonished gaze, the Nascent Soul exerted a sudden force, and countless Qi and blood energy flew out from Taixu Old Ancestor’s ancient body, pouring into the Glass Nascent Soul.
The originally almost transparent Nascent Soul instantly turned blood-red.
From a distance, it looked as if it was carved from cinnabar.
And Taixu Old Ancestor’s body instantly shriveled, turning into nothing but skin and bones in the blink of an eye, becoming a pile of remains.
The blood-colored Nascent Soul, carrying all its Qi and blood energy, plunged into the Golden Lamp.
The underground space immediately became completely silent.
He Pingsheng felt a mix of emotions, and sat on the stone stool in a daze.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he remembered Taixu Old Ancestor’s dying instructions and picked up the Golden Lamp.
“Master, oh Master…” He Pingsheng took a deep breath and murmured: “Our grudge over your attempt to take Possession of me is now settled!”
He carried the Golden Lamp out of the underground space and came to the Lingzhi Garden.
In the Lingzhi Garden, the tall ancient tree where the Ancestral Master often rested and slept instantly turned yellow and withered, its leaves falling one by one.
It was as if it had left this world with the Ancestral Master.
He Pingsheng lingered under the giant tree for a while longer before entering the main hall.
He placed the Golden Lamp on a safe high platform and lit it.
A flicker of light could not illuminate the darkness, but there was a profound and mysterious aura lingering around it.
It was as if the Ancestral Master was still there.
After everything was done, He Pingsheng threw down his pink cushion and lay back on it.
Lying on the ground, looking at the huge roof, this main hall, covered by a Grade Four Formation, finally became He Pingsheng’s safest sanctuary.
Now, he could take out the gathering treasure basin and play with it in various ways, without worrying about anyone sweeping it with their Divine Thought.
He was safe.
But He Pingsheng felt as if he had lost something, feeling empty inside.
Actually, thinking about it, this Old thing, apart from wanting to take Possession of him, was pretty good in other aspects.
…
Beast Taming Immortal Sect!
“How strange…”
“Just now, I saw an anomaly in this Formation, so I rushed over to observe and deduce, and found that the Tai Xu Sect’s Luck instantly dropped by a large margin!”
“I thought that damned Old thing had died and ascended!”
In a certain dark place, next to a huge Formation, a middle-aged man in a white scholar’s robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the Tai Xu Sect.
Not far behind the man sat an Old Man.
The Old Man, however, called the young man Senior Brother, and He Wen: “Senior Brother, did that Taixu Old thing really die?”
“I don’t know!” The scholar-robed middle-aged man said: “In less than half an hour, the Tai Xu Sect’s Luck and aura returned to normal, which is truly incredible!”
“How can Luck decline and increase in an instant?”
“What exactly happened to the Tai Xu Sect?”
The Old Man sneered: “It must be that Old thing’s trick. In my opinion, with our two Great Nascent Souls, are we still afraid of him? An Old Man in his twilight years, what can he do?”
“If our two brothers go there to kill, how can he resist?”
“No!” The scholar-robed middle-aged man shook his head and said: “The more it is at this time, the less we can act rashly. This Old thing has lived for a thousand years, what kind of storms hasn’t he seen?”
“If he deliberately digs a pit waiting for us brothers to jump into, then it will be a loss rather than a gain!”
“No hurry, we’ll wear him down until he dies!”
“Hehehe… The Tai Xu Sect has no successors, those useless fellows will sooner or later become souls under my blade!”
“By the way, did you find anything when I asked you last time to investigate the information about this Old thing’s newly accepted Disciple?”
The scholar-robed middle-aged man looked at the bald Old Man.
The bald Old Man shook his head and said: “Our informants are already inquiring, but this kid is unknown in the Sect, and information is really too scarce!”
