From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 433: Son of Fortune, Prophecy of the Golden Sword
This venerable being is most likely a pioneer sent by a powerful being from another world. He has been dormant in China for who knows how many years, just to reap the good fortune in advance when the earth's spiritual energy revives, and to guide that powerful being to come to earth!
Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp. He had scattered the ashes of the Venerable. This was a cause and effect that would not end until one person died. That world was filled with terrifying cultivators who had just experienced an era of spiritual prosperity that lasted for who knows how many years.

No matter how powerful or skilled you are, you have only practiced for less than six years. In the other world, all the old monsters have practiced for who knows how many years during the heyday of spiritual energy.

After calming down, Li Yang asked:
"Can you bring the jade pendant to Baiyun Mountain for me to examine?"

Liu Ming understood immediately. He didn't think that Li Yang was really asking for his opinion.

"Of course you can. Within four days, I will bring the jade pendant up to present to the True Lord!"

Liu Ming saluted with his hands clasped together and bent his body to a standard 90-degree angle.

Li Yang nodded, then sat down again.
"In that case, you must now tell me the whole story of your joining the Liu Clan. Don't leave anything out, especially the part about the Venerable!"

"Yes!"

In order to save his life, Liu Ming immediately poured out all the information he had access to about the Liu School like pouring out sugar beans.

Li Yang listened carefully. In Liu Ming's words, joining the Liu sect and becoming the new generation of Venerable was something he had to do out of necessity.

According to him, before the revival of spiritual energy, he was a street thug who dropped out of school in Meishan. His parents died early. Because he was brave, he carried a hunting rifle into the mountains to hunt wild game and accidentally ate a glowing Polygonum multiflorum. He was discovered by the Liu School disciples who came to look for spiritual materials.

At that time, the Liu Clan was very powerful. It had quietly developed a great power and seized the opportunity of the spiritual energy revival. It originally wanted to collect spiritual objects from all over the world to make a quick breakthrough and then stir up trouble.

The guardian of the Liu sect who captured Liu Ming was poisoned by martial arts novels. He thought that Liu Ming must be like the protagonists in the novels, who accidentally ingested a magical treasure and his blood must be useful, so he captured him and took him to the headquarters of the Liu sect.

Liu Ming was a smooth-talking man. Although he was imprisoned, he had become acquainted with the guardians within the Liu Sect. When the Venerable took people out to cause trouble, he made a prompt decision to escape from prison. He also rescued a white monkey and a warehouse of elixirs that the Liu Sect had collected.

At that time, the official had not even figured out what spiritual energy was. Everyone was weak and the number of innate ones could be counted on one's fingers. According to Liu Ming, the spiritual medicine he used at the end could at least create a fourth-level master, that is, a innate master.

At this point, Liu Ming puffed out his chest as if to seek credit. Li Yang also recalled many things at that time. His actions did ease the pressure from the government and Baiyun Mountain to a certain extent.

He did escape, and even became a master of spiritual awakening by accident thanks to a stomach full of elixirs. Liu Ming originally wanted to find an opportunity to get back at the enemy, but he didn't expect that the Venerable was chopped into pieces by Li Yang before he could make a move.

Then, Liu Ming found that his life suddenly had no goals. Qi Ling at that time could be said to be a great master. When he brought Bai Hou back to Meishan, relying on his strength, Liu Ming indulged himself in sensual pleasures for several months.

But as he was playing, Liu Ming suddenly felt that all this was meaningless. The wealth and glory, and the appearance of a saint in front of others could no longer bring him the excitement and joy. "I have stepped into the magical field of cultivating immortals, how can I stop my desire for cultivating immortals! I figured out one thing, life is eighty or ninety years old, birth, old age, sickness and death, hatred and resentment, love and separation, no matter how much money and status I have, after a hundred years, I will be nothing but a cup of yellow earth. I want to live forever!"

Liu Ming spoke generously, his eyes more determined than ever before: "Since then, I have left my hometown and searched everywhere for the so-called opportunity to practice. During the days of confinement in the Liu Sect, I also learned about the division of cultivation, so I was determined to break through the Xiantian."

“Although I have encountered many adventures, I still lack the innate method.

At that time, only three schools of thought had proven that they could break through the Xiantian realm: the Liu School, an official school, and your own dojo, Baiyun Mountain."

Liu Ming waved his hand and said, "I don't want to be restrained by the amnesty. By then, I had destroyed all the spiritual objects piled up in the Venerable's storehouse, and my blood could really be called a great medicine. With the experience of the Liu Sect, I didn't dare to look for anyone, so I had to develop secretly on my own and look for a way to break through the innate state."

"During this process, I also got some opportunities, such as a sword pill."

Li Yang looked a little surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you would get one of the sword balls that were lost among the people. You really have extraordinary luck."

Liu Ming chuckled. He did not explain that he was actually nearby when Li Yang subdued Jianwan in Fangshan. However, he was not familiar with Li Yang's character at the time, and with so many people from the official Taoist Alliance there, he did not dare to show up.

"When I got the sword pill, I had given up the idea of ​​looking for the Liu Sect. But later I learned that even if the sword immortal method on the sword pill is cultivated to the innate level, the life span is far lower than the inner elixir method and your food qi method. I practice Taoism for longevity. If I can't achieve longevity, why would I practice it? After weighing the pros and cons, I had no choice but to look for the Liu Sect."

"You know what happened later, Taoist priest. At that time, the Liu Sect was a rat crossing the street and everyone wanted to kill it. There were only two or three big cats and small cats in the sect. I joined and became the top master. Gradually, I even made my way to the management level and was elected as the Venerable. Most of the information about the Venerable that I just told you was collected at this time."

After a pause, Liu Ming continued, looking a little embarrassed: "After all those who opposed me in the sect were arrested, I led the remnants of the Liu Sect to hide in a remote village in southern Sichuan. Combining the Liu Sect's methods with the sword immortal method in my hands, I actually cultivated to the innate level."

“Hehehe, but I also know that this is not the right way, and I can’t live forever, so half a year ago when I heard that Baiyun Mountain was recruiting students, I gave up all my cultivation and came to apply.”

After Liu Ming finished speaking, he stood aside obediently, like a high school student being lectured, without any of his usual nonchalant look.

Li Yang listened carefully. There was no discrepancy between what Liu Ming said and the information he had, so he nodded lightly.

It's just a pity that according to Liu Ming, when he joined the Liu Sect, most of the sect's foundation had been uprooted, and some of the old people were almost dead, so he didn't have much access to information about the previous Venerable.

"In that case, you can come down the mountain from today. I will wait here for you to deliver the jade pendant."
