My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 389 Wuzhuang Temple!

"Wuzhuang Temple!!!"

"You said that Taoist priest came from Wuzhuang Temple!!!"

Upon receiving this news, Master Zheng's first reaction was regret.

Damn it! I'm so damn damned! Why did I have to get involved in this?
Although he had long guessed that the cultivator behind the Kong family who traded in talent was of a high status, he did not expect him to be this high!
After a brief moment of shock, Master Zheng suddenly said to the dark web, "Expert, I know you in the underworld are very rule-abiding. You must keep this matter completely confidential! I want to purchase encryption services!"

He had made up his mind to keep this secret to himself! Even if Li Wei killed him in the future, he couldn't afford to offend Wuzhuang Temple!
Dark Web: [Don't worry! We are all professionals, and we will definitely not disclose the employer's information after signing a contract.]

Unless I've already told Li Wei beforehand!

Signing a confidentiality agreement at this point wouldn't violate any terms, and you could even make some extra money for free. Why not?

After ending his conversation with Master Zheng, Dark Web turned to find Li Wei.

However, Li Wei's status and position have risen significantly, so he is under the heavy protection of the Heavenly Court at all times, and even Xiao Zi has a true god secretly hiding by her side.

Therefore, the Dark Web eventually had to find Fatian Hunyou, and through the other Nascent Soul cultivators in Hunyou, they were finally able to contact Li Wei remotely.

"Kid, you should know what Wuzhuang Temple means, right?"

After a long silence, Li Wei said, "If I remember correctly, this should be the Daoist temple of Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, right?"

[A Taoist temple? Hehe, the so-called Wuzhuang actually refers to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Therefore, Wuzhuang Temple can also be interpreted as a Five Elements Temple—actually referring to a "practice of Taoism that uses the methods of the five elements to attain enlightenment!"]

[Life philosophy, worldview, values, and cultivation philosophy! These are the four essential concepts for cultivators in the Immortal Sphere. Zhen Yuanzi, the Great Immortal, has carved out his own category within the cultivation philosophy, making him a founder of a school of thought, both within the real-world cultivation system and within the philosophical system of cultivation!]

Therefore, the Wuzhuang Temple I'm referring to is not merely the building located on Longevity Mountain in the Western Wilderness, but rather a metaphysical, ethereal place, a cultivation system materialized from the Great Dao!

Throughout the history of immortals, Wuzhuang Temple has always been an extremely transcendent place, only appearing secretly during the ancient primordial era of struggle for supremacy, the Investiture of the Gods, and the Journey to the West!

[If I hadn't personally intervened this time, even a true god wouldn't have been able to find this place!]

As if afraid Li Wei didn't know how terrifying that place was, the Dark Web quickly added: "And this is just one of the characteristics of Wuzhuang Temple!"

[It should be understood that the mountain of people is a place of immortals, while the village of people is a place of filth! The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth correspond to the five internal organs of the human body: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Therefore, the Wuzhuang Temple also refers to the "temple of the five internal organs," or the temple of the five internal organs!]

Don't you mortals always like to say that eating is just a way to satisfy your hunger? I can tell you right now, that's not a joke, it's true!!

Legend has it that in ancient times, the goddess Nuwa created humankind by sprinkling clay. Therefore, as a creation, humankind itself is imperfect. The earliest humans were even solid, much like clay figures.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, whether it was the primordial era, the era of the Investiture of the Gods, or the current era of the Heavenly Dao, humanity has always been undergoing various optimizations and upgrades!

[Zhen Yuanzi was one of the key figures in a human optimization project of a certain era! He transformed the Five Elements into the Five Internal Organs and implanted them into the human body, thus establishing the original secret of the Five Elements in the human body!]

[All mortal beings should offer their own bodies as temples, and sacrifice the essence of the five grains to Him! Just imagine how much merit and goodwill this would accumulate for Him!]

The Dark Web said profoundly: "Even this is just one of the many merits He has created!"

[You should know that He is called the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals, right? When the Three Pure Ones established the path of destiny and fate for the Chan and Jie sects, they actually only created the Human Immortal realm before getting stuck!]

In the cultivation systems of the two religions—Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Great Luo Immortal—Earth Immortal is a crucial node.

If the Human Immortal is the seed leading to the Great Luo, and the Celestial Immortal is the step to achieve a leap, then the Earth Immortal is the foundation connecting the heavens and the human realm!

[If Zhen Yuanzi hadn't used the power of the Five Elements to help them gather the earth's fortune, the Three Pure Ones probably wouldn't have been able to break through the barrier between humanity and earth, let alone further break through the barrier between heaven and earth, connecting the realms of Human Immortals, Earth Immortals, and Celestial Immortals!]

Therefore, He is one of the founders of the oldest cultivation system and one of the beneficiaries behind the Investiture of the Gods. Even the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors must respectfully address Him as "Fellow Daoist!"

[And His friends are not limited to the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors!]

Do you know about the ginseng fruit? It's one of the most precious spiritual roots of heaven and earth. It blossoms every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and matures every three thousand years. It ripens only once per cycle. Eating just one can directly save you from a great calamity! Just imagine how many people would want to be its friend!

Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit, like the Qian Ke Tong Shen Law, is one of the main methods for cultivators to secretly pass through the great tribulation!

The dark web user laughed at themselves: "You actually dare to investigate this kind of person? I think you really have a death wish..."

Li Wei remained silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "Since He is so powerful, why does He need to buy and sell human talent? Does His divine power require human lives to compensate for it?"

The Dark Web sighed, "[That's what puzzles me too. A being like Zhen Yuanzi is already beyond the mortal realm, beyond the cycle of reincarnation! With the Ginseng Fruit present, even a great calamity can't affect him! So I find it strange that he would have a need to utilize talent!]"

"Could it be used to irrigate ginseng fruit?"

[Heh! What do you take the ginseng fruit for? A man-eating demon? How could a spiritual root of heaven and earth...]

The dark web paused abruptly, remaining silent for a long time before saying, "[After all, I haven't seen that thing with my own eyes; I've only heard about it, so my judgment may not be absolutely accurate!]"

【Okay, let me find someone to ask.】 Above the Nine Heavens.

Just like before, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven once again sat cross-legged on the main planet of the Primordial Demon God Path, gazing up at the distant Three Realms, which resembled a pitch-black reef.

Perhaps because there were no enemies or outsiders, His body appeared somewhat hunched, like that of an old man in his twilight years, and His originally jet-black hair had somehow turned silvery-white.

Sun Buwu walked over from behind, carrying a small bowl. He stirred the black paste in the bowl with his finger and then smeared it on the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's fur.

"You used to only need to dye your hair once a month, but now you need to do it once a week. It seems you're aging faster."

It doesn't matter! The faster I age, the faster you grow, and you are still young, with an unlimited future ahead of you!

"But I lost!"

[Hahaha! Who in this world is immortal, and who is truly invincible?! I was defeated too late, which is why I suffered such a crushing defeat!]

The Monkey King patted Sun Buwu on the shoulder, as if speaking to his younger self: "Remember this: you can win a hundred times, but if you lose the last time, you still lose! But if you lose a hundred times and win the last time, you still win!"

Sun Buwu chuckled: "So, can we win?"

Who knows? But this time, at least we have a chance to win! That's enough. All I ask for is a chance!

I don't want this opportunity to tell the world how great I am; I just want to take back everything I've lost!

Sun Buwu clenched his arm: "I will help you, because that's helping myself!"

The two black monkeys raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the Three Realms.

Just then, a dark shadow crept in from afar, quickly reaching the two monkeys: [Tsk tsk tsk! Perhaps I've arrived at the wrong time?]

[The Dark Web Sage, whom the Heavenly Court calls the mastermind of heretical schemes, why has he graced us with his presence? Perhaps he wants me to work for him again?]

The dark web chuckled: "It's all just a coincidence, old monkey, you're not taking it seriously, are you?"

[Heh! Does it even matter whether it is or isn't? In any case, in terms of the result, you have created unimaginable achievements, bringing us, the nine heretics, one step closer to our goal.]

The dark web, as if struck by a sudden thought, sighed: "I'm afraid some people aren't on our side."

[It doesn't matter! As long as I'm alive, no one will dare to cooperate with the Heavenly Court!]

The Monkey King gave a domineering laugh, then turned around and asked, "So, what exactly is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Dark Web's expression turned serious. He suddenly straightened his back and solemnly asked, "Do you still remember Wuzhuang Temple?"

The Monkey King's pupils contracted, and he asked in surprise, "Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

The dark web hesitated for a moment, then finally made up its mind and said: "Li Wei is my man. He's investigating a case of talent trafficking, and it's led him to Wuzhuang Temple."

???

Sun Buwu's eyes widened.

The Monkey King tilted his head, looking at the dark web with a strange expression.

Good guy!
You still say you're not a heretic strategist?

Even Li Wei is your man, why don't you defy the heavens?
Ha! Now I'm starting to wonder just how many more things you're hiding from me!

Dark Web shrugged: "To be honest, I just thought he was funny and casually placed a move, but I never expected him to get to this level in such a short time!"

However, I always felt that kid had other forces behind him; otherwise, it's really hard to explain how he managed to deceive the Heavenly Emperor's inspections time and time again!

[As you know, within the Lingxiao Palace, Shang Hao is truly invincible in the Three Realms! With so many problems surrounding that kid, it's impossible for him to hide them from Him.]

The Monkey King narrowed his eyes, stroking his chin, and said, "[Yes, if he were your man, it would be impossible to hide it from Shang Hao, much less... Heh! Interesting! This person might be even more interesting than I imagined!]"

The dark web is wondering: "Is there something you didn't say?"

[Just wait and see, after all, the fun is always more interesting after it's been brewing.]

After a slight smile, the Monkey King put away his smile.

Let's talk about Wuzhuang Temple instead! The things inside eat people!
