A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 156 Transformation into Mortal

Upon hearing this, Su Bai almost burst out laughing.

The same thing Yuanshi used to fool him in the White Jade Hall last time.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the jade cauldron, who knows what might have happened.

Now that he has heard Nuwa say this, Su Bai will not easily believe it no matter what.

Nuwa guessed what Su Bai was thinking, but she didn't say anything more.

Some people are destined to be together, while others are not.

Whether or not we are destined to be together depends entirely on our own fate.

After saying these words, Nuwa did not allow him to linger any longer. She grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him out.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Su Bai never saw Nuwa's face.

In fact, he was still very curious to see what the saint who created the human race looked like.

However, the goddess Nuwa clearly did not intend for him to see it.

Thrown out of the main hall, Su Bai flew towards the Taoist temple without looking back.

He basically never stopped running.

As the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Not to mention this saint, whose depths are unfathomable.

Upon returning to the Taoist temple, Su Bai flew towards the old Taoist priest.

Without saying a word, he thrust his head forward and rammed it hard into the old Taoist's abdomen.

The old Taoist priest clearly hadn't expected Su Bai to do this, and his face turned deathly pale instantly after being bumped into by him.

After a long while, the old Taoist priest covered his stomach with one hand and slapped Su Bai hard on the head with the other.

"You unfilial disciple, do you intend to betray your master and destroy your ancestors?"

Su Bai looked up at him in confusion and saw that his face was pale and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead. Su Bai was immediately shocked.

It jumped onto his shoulder and raised its paw to touch the old Taoist's forehead.

Then she jumped onto his lap, her eyes filled with worry, and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

For so long, Su Bai had become certain that the old Taoist priest in front of him was Tongtian Shengren, one of the saints.

Although the old Taoist priest sometimes seems lazy, he is also very reliable at other times, especially when he unintentionally reveals supernatural powers and magic.

But what's wrong with us today?

In the past, when he used this method to attack the old Taoist's stomach, he would never have shown such an expression.

At this moment, he was as weak as an ordinary mortal.

The golden crow on the Fusang tree had clearly noticed this scene as well.

Looking at the old Taoist's face, Jinwu's eyes darted around slightly. He was about to try breathing fire at the old Taoist when suddenly, he seemed to feel as if he was being locked onto by something.

For a moment, he didn't even dare to open his mouth.

After a long while, the old Taoist finally recovered. He leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath, saying, "Little thing, could you be a little gentler next time? This old man wants to live a few more years."

Su Bai rolled his eyes and licked his paws.

Live a few more years?

In Su Bai's view, even if the world were destroyed, the old Taoist priest might not necessarily die.

Although we don't know what exactly happened to the old Taoist priest, he must be planning to do something.

But what exactly does he want to do?

Self-destruction of one's holy position?

That shouldn't be the case.

After all, he is a saint appointed by Heaven. If he could be destroyed so easily, what would become of him?

"Master, what happened to you just now?"

The old Taoist smiled slightly, but did not answer Su Bai's question. He simply lay on the rocking chair, looking at the sky with a thoughtful expression.

Just as Su Bai was about to continue asking questions, he felt his body suddenly enveloped by a force, and then he began to fly backward.

The old Taoist priest seemed to have long been used to this.

When Su Bai opened his eyes, he was already in the white jade hall above the Immortal Sect.

Yuan Shi looked calmly at Su Bai, stared at him for a while, and then beckoned to him.

Su Bai approached and was about to say something when he saw Yuan Shi suddenly raise his large hand, and then the entire hall was enveloped in a white light.

The immense magical power instantly separated the person and the cat completely from the Mountain and River Map.

At this moment, it's as if they are in another dimension.

Yuan Shi slowly rose, picked up Su Bai, and said calmly, "Do you know what your master plans to do?"

Su Bai was taken aback.

He then kept recalling the strange phenomena he had discovered about the old Taoist priest during this period.

This made him think of a word.

"Transformation into a mortal?"

Upon hearing these two words, Yuanshi chuckled and said, "You little rascal, you're not too stupid after all."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai couldn't help but raise his chin. Looking at Yuan Shi's outstretched hand, he subconsciously nuzzled his head against Yuan Shi's hand.

"It is said to be a transformation into a mortal, but it is very different from a mere transformation into a mortal."

"Sages belong to the Way of Heaven, but the Way of Heaven does not belong to sages."

"Since the War of the Gods, saints have not been allowed to easily set foot in the Three Realms. This is a rule ordained by Heaven and an ironclad law for saints. If they want to enter the Three Realms, the only way is to leave behind an avatar."

Yuanshi picked up Su Bai and said calmly, "But an avatar is ultimately not the original body. What the avatar senses, the original body may not be able to sense."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai couldn't help but ask in confusion, "If what Second Martial Uncle says is true, does that mean Master intends to destroy his own sainthood just to go to the Three Realms?"

Yuanshi chuckled.

Self-destruction of one's holy position?

Are you kidding me?

Who would so easily destroy the position of a saint that was hard-won?

Even if they really had that ability, it would be absolutely impossible.

In his view, the old Taoist priest did this simply to deceive everyone.

At their level, they understand all methods.

A sage can personally capture any supernatural power or magic.

In fact, not only the old Taoist priest, but also the Supreme Lord held the same idea.

However, the price to pay for the Supreme Being's method is much higher than that of the experienced Taoist.

The old Taoist priest was only temporarily suppressing his own magical power and the fluctuations of a saint.

However, during this period, he was absolutely unable to use any supernatural powers or spells, not even the simplest protective spells.

Once it is used, it will inevitably be detected by the Heavenly Dao.

It's hard to imagine what will ultimately happen.

But if he really succeeds, it will be of great significance not only to the old Taoist himself, but also to other sages.

Previously, Yuanshi had been puzzled as to why the old Taoist appeared so powerless. Now, thinking about it, he couldn't think of any other reason besides that.

He wants to return to the Three Realms.

However, not in the capacity of a saint.

Instead, he appeared as an ordinary person.

Compared to being confined within this landscape painting, and compared to the emptiness of the chaos, the Three Realms are clearly the most attractive place.

Su Bai jumped onto Yuan Shi's shoulder, lay on it, tilted his head and asked, "Since Second Uncle knows Master's thoughts, then the other saints must also be able to see them. So what is the point of setting up such a barrier?"

Yuan Shi's lips curled up slightly as he turned his head to look at Su Bai.

"I need you to go to Kunlun Mountain to retrieve something for me."
