“Fellow Daoist, have you connected with the Heavenly Pillars?”
Seeing Lu Yuan awake from his meditation, True Person Anqiu hurriedly approached and asked eagerly.
Lu Yuan remained silent in his heart, but nodded in response, “Indeed, fortunately, I succeeded.”
True Person Anqiu asked again, “What did you experience during the sacrificial meditation just now?”
Lu Yuan recalled his encounter with the thoughts of the people when he first connected and almost suffered a mental breakdown. He said with lingering fear, “Dangers lurked on all sides, and there was a constant risk of losing my Dao if I were not cautious.”
Hearing these words, True Person Anqiu was slightly moved and asked, “What dangers did you encounter?”
Lu Yuan had no reason to conceal anything, so he directly said, “When I entered the meditation, I saw the thoughts of a million people coming at me.
Their thoughts were malicious and could harm one’s mind and spirit.
With my strength of Dao heart and soul, I could only handle five or six people’s thoughts. If there were more, my spirit would be in danger of collapsing.
Thus, if someone with a weak Dao heart and spirit touches these thoughts,
they would probably not be able to withstand the corruption of these people’s thoughts in their meditation and ultimately die from the collapse of their spirit.”
Upon hearing this explanation, True Person Anqiu’s expression slightly changed, and he murmured thoughtfully with a furrowed brow, “So that’s what happened. I wondered why people in our sect often died during the sacrificial offerings. That’s the true reason.”
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan’s expression darkened, and he asked, “So, some people died during previous sacrificial offerings? Why didn’t you tell me?”
If Anqiu had known about the danger of the sacrificial offerings, then he should have warned him when he was performing the sacrifice earlier. This was a bit too much.
After all, he was the one helping Anqiu conduct experiments.
To use my life to provide you with data and for you to hide crucial information from me, is that not treating my life as if it were a game?
Although he also knew that the reason Anqiu didn’t say anything was most likely because he was afraid that he would be too scared to perform the sacrificial offerings,
no matter what, he felt a sense of dissatisfaction from being treated like this.
Seeing Lu Yuan getting upset, True Person Anqiu quickly explained, “Fellow Daoist, please don’t be angry. It wasn’t Poor Daoist’s intention to hide it from you. As I have asked previously,
before you, no one has ever been able to provide a clear explanation of the details of the sacrificial meditation.
With such confusion, even though I told you about it, I didn’t know what to say.
Not only would it not be helpful, but it would also make our fellow Daoist unnecessarily worried, causing your state of mind to be disturbed and unable to achieve a peaceful meditation.
Wouldn’t that be an ill-advised good intention?
Just like now, I didn’t tell you, but didn’t you still manage to meditate successfully?
That’s because you were not affected by external influences.”
After a series of sophistry, True Person Anqiu managed to turn his dishonest act into something beneficial for Lu Yuan.
The thick-skinned and cunning words were just like that.
But Lu Yuan wouldn’t fall for it.
“Fellow Daoist, don’t try to argue with me.”
He snorted coldly, wanting to scold a few more words, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, “Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. As you said, I managed to complete the sacrificial offerings and woke up safely, which is fortunate.
However, in the future, if you deceive me again, don’t blame me for turning against you.”
Lu Yuan didn’t want to have a completely strained relationship with Dan Ding Path at this time. He would wait until he couldn’t get away with it in the future, and then it would be the right time to break up completely.
To him, Dan Ding Path was still somewhat helpful at this stage.
Seeing that Lu Yuan didn’t press further, True Person Anqiu let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly promised, “Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. From now on, Poor Daoist won’t deceive you and will inform you about everything.”
He was sincere in his words.
The reason why he concealed the danger of sacrificial meditation from Lu Yuan previously was mainly because he was afraid that Lu Yuan would be afraid of dying and refuse to perform the offerings.
Now that the Heavenly Pillars were offered, so long as Lu Yuan cultivates the Taiping Dao Book, there’s no turning back.
Once the cultivation technique is practiced, the lifespan will start decreasing, and if you don’t break through to the next realm and increase your lifespan before it runs out,
then you can only wait for death from sickness.
Thus, at this point, True Person Anqiu was completely reassured.
The fellow Daoist Lu in front of him can’t turn back anymore.
All he needs to do now is to let the other party cultivate the Dao Law and enter the final stage. That will be the completion of the task.
Next, he just needs to wait and see how long this Inborn Grandmaster can last under the lifespan reduction of the Taiping Dao Book.
With this thought in mind, True Person Anqiu eagerly said, “Now that Fellow Daoist has connected with the Heavenly Pillars, you should have sensed the Immortal Spirit Qi between Heaven and Earth.
It’s the right time, so why not immediately enter into meditation, sense the Immortal Spirit Qi, and absorb it to create magical strength?”
Seeing Anqiu’s eager and enthusiastic manner, Lu Yuan waved his hand, “There’s no need to rush. Before I cultivate the Taiping Dao Book, I have a matter to discuss with you.”
He stared into the eyes of True Person Anqiu, and asked seriously, “As long as I develop magical strength, I’ll have fulfilled my promise with your Path, right?”
Upon hearing this question, True Person Anqiu was stunned, then quickly realized why Lu Yuan was asking this.
Most likely, it was because of his constant urging over the past few days that had annoyed Lu Yuan, prompting him to dislike Anqiu.
However, as far as True Person Anqiu was concerned, it didn’t matter if Lu Yuan liked him or not. As long as Lu Yuan practiced the Taiping Dao Book, what did it matter if he was disliked?
