The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 925 The way of heaven is incomplete
The prescription in He Tu's hand was obtained from a family of imperial physicians, and it was extremely valuable.

For ordinary people, let alone feeding them, you can't even let them see you.

Several of He Tu's old, albeit superficial, friends tried to trade him a pill, but He Tu always managed to dodge the question with a laugh.

Who would have thought that what he treasured so much was not actually that important to Yun Ran?

At this moment, He Tu felt somewhat defeated, but he felt no jealousy whatsoever.

Other older guys might be jealous of these young people who have the protection of a sect's heritage.

But He Tu was different. He was extremely confident and believed that he alone was enough to defeat 99% of the world's most talented individuals.

So what if those people had deep sects and powerful backgrounds? He still managed to take them down.

If it weren't for meeting the two prodigies, Yun Ran and Rong Gu, He Tu would still not know how to write the word "humility."

Now, thinking back to how he had actually set his sights on Yun Ran's lineage, He Tu suddenly chuckled.

He picked up the wine glass next to him and downed a mouthful of baijiu.

He continued, "Of all the people from Qingfeng Temple who are now interacting with the outside world, are you the only one?"

I used to think that Qingfeng Temple was only supported by Yunran and wouldn't be taken too seriously.

But when he saw the prescription Yunran had taken out, he generously gave it away.

He Tu knew that if Yun Ran didn't even care about such an extremely precious prescription, the strength of her sect was beyond his imagination.

None of the people at the table were stupid; they immediately understood the meaning behind He Tu's words.

Yun Ran put down her chopsticks, her eyes seeming to see right through He Tu.

Just as He Tu was starting to feel the pressure of Yun Ran's gaze, Yun Ran finally looked away.

Then he spoke calmly: "The patriarch of my Qingfeng Temple did indeed attain immortality."

With a "crash," He Tu and Gu Yuan on the table were both shocked.

So much so that the panic caused damage to the bowls and cups nearby.

"Wha...what...became an immortal? There really are immortals!"

He Tu's voice was clearly trembling. He had just been testing her. Yun Ran's lineage did indeed have the potential to attain enlightenment.

If this lineage weren't in Yun Ran's possession, He Tu would have taken it no matter what.

But he knew he couldn't win against Yunran and had to give up, but he was still a little unwilling to do so.

So, it was really just a casual question. I wanted to know if Yunran's sect, with its profound foundation, truly offered an opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Unexpectedly, Yunran revealed the secret that her sect's patriarch was an immortal without any warning.

Gu Yuan's expression was also one of shock; he felt as if he were listening to something from heaven.

His voice trembled with excitement he couldn't suppress: "Are there really immortals?"

Yunran picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, ate it slowly, and swallowed it.

He then slowly answered their questions: "Indeed, there is such a thing, but it is very difficult to attain enlightenment; it requires the right time, place, and people."

He Tu's hands trembled slightly with excitement as he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it down.

Others were perhaps even more disoriented due to the effects of alcohol.

But He Tu is different. When he is very excited, drinking alcohol can help him calm down quickly.

What kind of opportunity is needed?

Anyone who embarks on the path of Taoism cannot resist the allure of attaining immortality, even if they know the chances are extremely slim; they still want to know.

Yun Ran honestly shook her head: "I don't know." She really wasn't lying; everyone's opportunity to attain enlightenment is different.

Some people only need a little merit, while others have to pay the price with their lives...

Trying to learn from the paths others took to attain enlightenment and then copying those paths is useless.

The patriarchs of Qingfeng Temple all had different opportunities for attaining enlightenment, and these opportunities were all quite unexpected.

To give an example, Junior Uncle's abilities are exceptional, but the opportunity for him to attain enlightenment is most likely unrelated to his abilities.

And then there's Yun Ran herself; now, in this small world, her chances of gaining merit are extremely high.

If she has the opportunity to attain enlightenment, it will hardly have much to do with merit and golden light.

These things, if they were in someone else's possession, might become the opportunity for them to attain enlightenment.

Therefore, the chances of obtaining an opportunity through painstaking effort are actually slim.

They insist on using a meaning that everyone can understand to explain it.

Perhaps the saying "You may plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows without care, and they may thrive" better expresses the meaning of this.

He Tu could tell that Yun Ran wasn't lying; she genuinely didn't know.

This made He Tu feel a little regretful, but he could understand.

If there were truly standards and templates for attaining immortality, so many people wouldn't die with regrets.

Just as He Tu was about to say that it was nothing and he was just asking casually,

Yun Ran spoke again: "The Heavenly Dao of this world is incomplete; the probability of finding the Dao and becoming an immortal is zero."

Crane Slayer: ...

Gu Yuan: ...

What did they just hear? That Heaven's Way is incomplete?

Even drinking couldn't suppress He Tu's shock.

He jumped to his feet, his face beaming with excitement: "Are you serious?"

Yunran nodded and then told her about the secrets she had discovered inside the Demon Locking Tower.

"The men in black robes knew about this before we did, so they took advantage of some of the rules. I think they possess some kind of divine power."

Otherwise, those members of the Xuanmen sect who joined wouldn't have been so loyal simply for the sake of their future and personal gain.

Even when it came to imprinting death seals on them, they still came one after another, suggesting that they had truly witnessed so-called miracles.

What evidence do you have to prove what you're saying?

He Tu naturally believed what Yun Ran said, but without sufficient evidence, no one would believe what Yun Ran said.

He understood even better what Yunran's purpose was in saying those words.

They simply wanted to completely expose the black-robed man who had been hiding for hundreds of years.

Most Xuanmen forces are actually more concerned with their own affairs, even if they are asked to cooperate in eliminating those evil black-robed men.

However, they won't take it seriously on their own initiative. At most, they'll just give orders and play along.

However, if people knew that the man in black robes had obtained some miracles by taking advantage of the incompleteness of the Heavenly Dao and some loopholes in the rules he had glimpsed, it would be a great loss.

Then, without anyone saying a word, the members of the Xuanmen sect will spontaneously and actively hunt down those black-robed men under the banner of justice.
