A cat that lingers beside a saint

Yun Zhongzi.

One of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Compared to other disciples of the Chan Sect, this person was indeed a truly blessed immortal during the Investiture of the Gods war.

Although he did take action against the Jie Sect during the Investiture of the Gods war, he did not go on a killing spree like other immortals of the Chan Sect.

Su Bai wanted to go to the outside world to find this Yun Zhongzi and see if there was any way to improve Yu Qiushui's weapon-refining skills.

He figured it out; although Yu Qiushui currently possessed some weapon-refining insights given to her by the Primordial Sage.

But these things were too profound, or rather, the insights he had in his mind were not what he wanted at all.

The insights into weapon crafting given by a sage are not bad for any weapon crafter; they can even be used as a path to enlightenment.

However, this guy's growth path is clearly not on the same track as what the Primal expected.

Yuan Shi thought that Yu Qiushui's love for weapon crafting was as simple and pure as that of those who pursued the Dao.

But what he didn't expect was that Yu Qiushui's interest in weapon crafting was actually just for convenience.

If she encounters danger or fights with others, Yu Qiushui basically doesn't need to confront them head-on. She only needs to throw out a few magical treasures to self-destruct, which will prevent the enemy from continuing to attack. Isn't that convenient?

In addition, during the time Yu Qiushui stayed at the Taoist temple, he heard Jinwu and Wanling talk about Su Bai's training.

Breaking that towering stone pillar has now become one of his goals.

However, with the current magical artifacts, it would still be somewhat difficult to destroy it.

But as the saying goes, with enough effort, even if you can't grind it into a needle, breaking it shouldn't be a problem.

……

Back at the Taoist temple, Su Bai lay on the old Taoist's stomach.

In fact, ever since he discovered the path to the outside world, he has rarely spent time with the old Taoist priest.

Basically, he focused all his attention on playing.

Lying on the old Taoist's stomach, Su Bai couldn't help but scratch the slightly bulging bump on his head with his paw.

"Master, didn't you say you didn't know any supernatural powers or magic?"

Tongtian glanced at Su Bai, and judging from his expression, he already knew what Su Bai was thinking.

"What? Do I need to use magic to discipline you?"

"I told you long ago, if you reach the peak of your life, you can rival a large number of people with just your physical body."

As he spoke, the old Taoist seemed to remember something, and a flicker of emotion flashed in his calm eyes.

"Years ago, I even took on a disciple."

"His physical body, while not invincible in the outside world, is not bad either."

Upon hearing the old Taoist priest tell a story, Su Bai immediately perked up his ears.

Wanling, who was inside the house, quietly appeared behind the old Taoist priest at some unknown time.

The golden crow on the Fusang tree, having withdrawn its true solar fire, swayed as it approached and then quietly squatted on the ground.

The old Taoist priest didn't say much about the actions of the person, the cat, and the bird, as he was completely lost in his memories.

After a long pause, he continued, "The second brother has a disciple named Guang Chengzi."

"This person possesses a magical artifact called the Heaven-Turning Seal."

"This Heavenly Seal was forged from Mount Buzhou, which was broken by the ancestral witch Gonggong."

"And the origin of Mount Buzhou is even more remarkable."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Bai suddenly said, "I know that Mount Buzhou was formed from the spine of the Great God Pangu."

The old Taoist smiled slightly, patted his head and nodded, saying, "You're right. Pangu created the world and his body transformed into all things. His spine became Mount Buzhou, which was the pillar supporting the sky before the primordial world was broken and the Three Realms were formed."

"Later, it was broken by Gonggong of the Wu tribe..."

"I know, I know, and then my second senior uncle turned the broken Buzhou Mountain into the Fantian Seal."

At this moment, the old Taoist's smile became slightly stiff. How many times had he been interrupted?

In the past, who would have dared to interrupt him like that?

This unfilial disciple is truly becoming less and less aware of what rules are!

But upon closer reflection, well, who told him to be his only disciple?

The old Taoist priest took a deep breath and continued, "Then the second brother refined Buzhou Mountain into the Heaven-Turning Seal!"

At this point, the old Taoist suddenly stopped, gazing into the distance. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

For some reason, for a moment, he forgot what he was going to say.

The old Taoist priest's eyes widened instantly, glaring angrily at Su Bai.

"You wicked disciple!"

……

The old Taoist priest went back to his room.

She stormed off in a huff.

Wanling lay on the rocking chair, Su Bai nestled in her arms, his little hands covering his head, his eyes brimming with tears from the pain in his head.

But that doesn't stop him from listening to stories.

Although the old Taoist priest did not continue speaking, Wanling also knew some of it besides the old Taoist priest.

On the armrests of the rocking chair, Jinwu swayed his body from side to side, and the rocking chair swayed along with him.

A cat and a bird stared intently at all living beings.

"Later, during the Investiture of the Gods war, that senior brother withstood the sneak attack of the Heaven-Turning Seal with his own body."

"The reason why this Heavenly Seal is so powerful is because of its weight. Touching it will kill you, rubbing it will injure you, let alone taking such a blow to the back of your head. If it were anyone else, their brains would probably have already splattered out."

"But this senior brother only felt a little dizzy, which is enough to show that his physical body is hard to compare with in the Three Realms."

"only……"

At this point, Wanling suddenly stopped.

Su Bai was alright, but Wan Ling, though he didn't continue speaking, had already guessed who this senior brother was.

In fact, according to the old Taoist priest, this was his former disciple.

This means that in his heart, this former disciple has completely disappeared from the world.

Su Bai knew, but that didn't mean Jin Wu knew.

Since he didn't know, he naturally wanted to find out the final outcome.

"Such a formidable person, and in the end, they still lost?"

Wanling looked up at the south, which was the territory of the Supreme Sage.

Although she was created by the goddess Nuwa and holds a certain status in this world, she is nothing more than an ant in front of a sage.

She knew perfectly well which words she could say and which she couldn't.

She couldn't very well say that the Supreme Lord was bullying the weak and used the Tai Chi diagram to subdue this senior brother, could she?

Seeing that Wanling remained silent, the Golden Crow became anxious and began flapping its wings incessantly.

"Say something!"

……

Inside the room, the old Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the bed.

In his hands, the four small swords lost their divine light.

Looking at the four small swords in his hand, the old Taoist priest was in a daze, and every scene that happened back then flashed through his mind.

His face, too, shifted between ferocity and calm as memories flashed by.

After a long time, all emotions were suppressed, and all the words and thoughts were finally reduced to two words.

"ridiculous……"
