Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

However, the thunder, representing the shackles of heaven and earth, could not catch up with its target and could only thunder endlessly in the sky.

The sky was clear and bright, with hardly any dark clouds, but the thunder still made the sky flicker.

Chu Mingkong spotted Yun Han's location and hurriedly went forward.

"Yunhan, did anything happen during that time?"

Xiao Yunhan's brows furrowed, and worry etched on her usually cool face. She stammered as she replied:

"From the moment that situation arose until it ended, everything remained the same as before, without any other changes, but that being was targeting Master."

Most of the disciples in the Taoist sect were pale-faced, terrified by such a presence. Now that the oppression was over, all that remained was emptiness and melancholy.

...What kind of powerful person is this? The gap between them is so huge. Is this really possible?

Zuo Qiuchi knew there wasn't much he could say, but all he could do was offer words of comfort:

"Look on the bright side, at least the other party doesn't dare to come down openly yet, and they have no hostility in coming here. They are simply contacting your master's wife. That kind of oppressive force is forced out in order to suppress that thunder."

“But it doesn’t feel good to have the initiative in someone else’s hands,” Zuo Donglu said quietly.

"You little brat, are you never going to stop? Even at a time like this, you still want to argue with me. Don't you know how to comfort me?!"

Zuo Qiuchi felt a toothache.

Although Donglu was telling the truth, she could have said it in private. She's too blunt!

From the Immortal Peak came Shen Xuejun's voice.

"Yunhan, Mingkong, come up here."

Chu Mingkong's feelings were complicated, but for now he could only fly to the Immortal Peak with Yunhan and enter Shen Xuejun's room.

The stunningly beautiful woman with large breasts sat there quietly, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. The emotions deep within her eyes remained serene, her heart as still as an ancient well.

Inside the room, the presence of that being had vanished completely, but the roaring thunder in the sky outside still reminded everyone of what had just happened.

After the siblings took their seats, it was Yunhan who broke the silence first.

"Master, what was that just now...?"

“It would be quite a long explanation, so Mingkong will explain it to you later. I’ve already spoken to him about it.”

"Yes, Master, please continue."

Xiao Yunhan's words were also what Chu Mingkong wanted to say. He now only wanted to know why the beings from the Heavenly Domain had come to his door in such a grand manner, and what she had just discussed with his master's wife, Shen Xuejun.

Shen Xuejun remained as calm and composed as ever, giving the impression that she had just received good news.

She manipulated the teapot, pouring tea for her two apprentices, with wisps of white steam rising from the teacups.

But it wasn't hot fog; it was cold air.

"The person in the Snow River Divine City just now was urging me to set off and return to the Snow River Divine City."

really......

Chu Mingkong's heart sank at his master's wife's words.

The underlying meaning of this statement is to allow the mistress to "return" to her original form. But then, will the mistress as an individual still exist?

The silence of the two disciples made the atmosphere in the room suddenly become quiet.

After a long pause, Chu Mingkong finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Master's wife, what on earth is going to happen? The beings in the Heavenly Realm all seem to be getting agitated. Yin Shi, the Heavenly Demon Ancient Prince, and then that one from Snow River Divine City, they've all suddenly become active..."

“Something is indeed about to happen. Mingkong, you've been to the Heavenly Realm once, so you should know that the cultivation of the divine soul is limited by the cultivation of the physical body, right?”

"Yes, the soul cannot be much stronger than the physical body, otherwise the physical body cannot bear the power of the soul. Conversely, physical cultivation does not have this problem."

This is something Chu Mingkong recently figured out.

"What the Heavenly Realm lacks is the kind of power that can make the physical body continue to grow stronger, but unfortunately... the strength of the souls of these beings has once again reached a point that their physical bodies cannot bear."

They can only seek opportunities, higher-level opportunities, everywhere, but sometimes they have to create such opportunities themselves.

Xiao Yunhan's pupils suddenly contracted; she vaguely understood what she meant:

"Master, do you mean that you are an opportunity created by that being?"

Shen Xuejun nodded slightly, gently twirling the lid of the bowl and lightly stirring the surface of the tea.

The tea leaves swayed, and the water surface rippled slightly.

"Yes, in fact, the entire Wenqing Pavilion was formed by relying on the power of Xuechuan Divine City, but the past sect leaders did not know this because they had not cultivated to a qualified level."

Among the sect leaders throughout history, some were exceptionally talented women from this region, while others were born from a single dream in the Snow River Divine City.

Those sect leaders who didn't 'meet the standards' weren't even aware of the relationship between the Asking Love Pavilion and the Heavenly Domain; they merely inherited the Daoist tradition, allowing the Asking Love Pavilion to develop freely according to the self-realizations of each successive sect leader.

This should be an exploration by that person from Xuechuan Divine City, because if there is a fixed pattern, one will never be able to break through the shackles of self and can only let Wenqing Pavilion run wild.

Therefore, among all sects, the Wenqing Pavilion has the most volatile sect image. If the sect leader is an absurd person, then the entire sect will become absurd as well.

However, the more recent generations have all become more stable and have thus become the reclusive and neutral ones we know today.

However, when each sect leader steps down, he will pass on almost 90% of his power to his personal disciples, also in order to help them grow up as quickly as possible.

Simply having high cultivation level is meaningless; one must also have an excellent understanding of one's own path. If we only look at cultivation level, can anyone be as high as the beings in the Heavenly Realm?

Behind all these sect traditions lies the shadow of Snow River Divine City, but the sect leader failed to reach the appropriate level and didn't even have the opportunity to know all of this.

Shen Xuejun was fortunate enough to know a little about it in her early years because the path of self she explored and comprehended aligned with the wishes of the "original self". Unfortunately, at that time, Shen Xuejun only knew the general outline and could not see the true form because her cultivation level had not yet reached the required standard.

However, after Chu Mingkong gave him a large snow lotus, the cultivation barrier was no longer an issue.

If even the cultivation level meets the standard, then the "original body" will take a liking to it completely. It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Shen Xuejun will not mention to Chu Mingkong that he sent the snow lotus.

"Then, Master's wife, what about this 'severing of affection'...?"

Chu Mingkong glanced at Yunhan, then his gaze finally returned to his master's wife.

"Severing emotions is naturally to avoid carrying too many unnecessary emotions when returning to the Heavenly Realm, which could affect the true self. Originally, Yunhan was also supposed to sever her emotions, regardless of whether she would be chosen in the end, but later it was no longer necessary."

"...Because the master's wife has already been reserved?"

Shen Xuejun did not respond, but her answer was naturally an admission.

Instead, she brought up something else:

"Originally, even if I were to return to the Heavenly Realm and meet the original body, I could still pass on this power to Yunhan. The 'me' who is still asleep only wants the Dao Fruit, and my cultivation level is not important to her."

As a result, Mingkong, you ruined Yunhan's body, and Yunhan didn't take good care of herself either.

“Master, Mingkong needed to heal his soul injuries at the time, so I had to do it…” Sister Yunhan was stubborn and refused to back down on this matter.

Chu Mingkong didn't chime in, his mind preoccupied with his master's wife's words.

So, the "helplessness" sigh that the teacher's wife casually mentioned back then was actually about this...

She had vaguely sensed her condition long ago. She could have chosen to give up cultivation, which might have ended everything in a murky way.

But Master's wife chose to cultivate under pressure and fight silently.

I don't want to give up on self-improvement while sinking into depravity, but I have to face the self-destruction that comes with striving for perfection.

The reason for his long-term seclusion may stem from this pressure.

It is likely that the Lord of Snow River was taking a short break during his secluded meditation when he had a dream in the underworld, and the idea of ​​Shen Xuejun was born.

The Lord of Snow River is Shen Xuejun, who doesn't remember herself in her dream, while Shen Xuejun is the Lord of Snow River who is unwilling to give up herself and doesn't want to wake up from the dream.

Just like when she enters a dream, she doesn't remember that she is dreaming.

If you wake up from a dream, you probably won't remember what happened in the dream, so the existence of the individual "Shen Xuejun" will be irrelevant.

What remains is only the Dao Fruit of her physical cultivation.

"Then what should we do..." Chu Mingkong asked, then immediately added self-deprecatingly, "Why do I feel like I haven't stopped repeating this sentence lately?"

Shen Xuejun said calmly:

"I have done everything I can, clearly defined my own 'rules,' and not changed myself by external things."

It should be said that I was prepared to 'awaken' from the dream, and the Lord of Snow River was also prepared to have his true self affected by this hazy dream.

"That's too much dependent on luck."

Chu Mingkong looked at his master's wife with a bitter expression.

Shen Xuejun also acknowledged this, stating frankly:

"Yes, so I plan to make some more preparations, adding something that is hard to erase, such as the power of extreme yin. By the way, I also plan to give you as much of my cultivation as I can, Yunhan, though of course it will not be as much as you could have inherited when you were still in your primordial yin body."

So far, aside from recklessly letting the Yin Core explode, the fastest way to control the power of Yin is to cultivate with Chu Mingkong.

Chapter 205 The Final Conversation

Chu Mingkong had longed for this day for a long time, but of course, he only longed for the sake of cultivation. Little did he expect that the prerequisite for cultivation was the current situation...

The harmony cultivated is precisely about "union" and "joy," so why has it been turned into a ritual before parting?

He cultivates the Joyful Union Scripture, not the Sorrowful Separation Scripture!

The things that happened to Yuehe in the past are happening to his master's wife in strange ways, and they are also appearing in his life once again.

"I do not covet Master's cultivation level." Xiao Yunhan bit her lip, her heart filled with unspeakable thoughts.

Shen Xuejun gently shook her head:

“Yunhan, just because you don’t covet it doesn’t mean you don’t need it. In the future, you will most likely go to the Heavenly Domain with Mingkong, and your current cultivation level is simply not enough.”

Besides, you are about to become the sect leader; this is the inheritance you deserve. Whether you covet it or not is irrelevant. These cultivation levels are merely symbols and tokens of your becoming the sect leader.

Before Chu Mingkong went to Xiling Abyss to visit his old haunts, he chatted with his master's wife and even gave her a bold bear hug. He thought this was just the beginning, and that he would be able to hug her more easily in the future...

Who would have thought that going out for a stroll would lead to this situation?

"Master's wife, when is the deadline given by the Lord of Xuechuan?" Chu Mingkong's voice sounded as if it were being weighed down by a boulder, his emotions heavy and depressed, with little enthusiasm.

"The sooner the better, of course. It's possible that the Heavenly Demon Ancient Prince did something that provoked other powerful beings. But the Heavenly Demon Ancient Prince was at most a trigger. The incident during Yin Shi already showed that these beings were at a certain critical point."

In the past, the master's wife would usually only answer questions and occasionally offer explanations, much like the Queen Mother of the West. If he didn't ask, she wouldn't explain.

But now that the master's wife has responded with "the sooner the better" and revealed some of the deeper reasons behind it, she probably wants him to accept this matter, right?
