leonardwarren #320 - Master Xu, you are here!
#320 - Master Xu, you are here!
“There are some things you shouldn't tempt fate with,” Xu Chengxian decided to impart some life philosophies to Da Hei.
“For example, when you're feeling triumphant, don't laugh too loudly.”
“Why?”
“It's easy to be ambushed, and besides, if your mouth is open too wide, you might swallow a fly.” Xu Chengxian said with a straight face, “Also, if you run into some itchy-handed fellows, they might be tempted to throw something in.”
As for what they might throw, don't even ask.
It definitely wouldn't be anything good.
“So, I don't recommend opening your mouth too wide in front of me. First, it looks like you're trying to steal my food, and second, it might tempt me to make a mistake and disrupt my Dao heart.”
“...Heh.” Da Hei glanced at him.
So, the 'itchy-handed fellows' also included Daoist Xu himself?
“Therefore, be cautious, careful, and don't lose your reason when you're feeling triumphant,” Xu Chengxian said seriously. “Otherwise, be careful of joy turning to sorrow!”
“Joy turning to sorrow? That seems to make some sense,” Da Hei couldn't help but say. But after thinking about it, it couldn't help but ask, “Daoist Xu, are we in a time of triumph right now?”
It couldn't recall anything to be triumphant about.
“You don't, but I do,” Xu Chengxian said. “I just got a huge benefit.”
The Qiankun Cauldron and the power of faith from the masses almost burst him.
Da Hei fell silent upon hearing this.
It wasn't exactly convinced, but it couldn't think of anything to refute.
Xu Chengxian didn't pay any attention to it.
He leaned back on his own, lying down peacefully.
Bathing in the morning sunlight, he sighed comfortably.
“Ah.”
Being idle was also a form of leisure.
Then he prepared to take a nap.
Returning to his main body, relishing the wonderful taste of sound sleep.
At the same time, he pondered whether the trip to Xuzhou would be smooth.
What he had just said wasn't entirely to fool Da Hei.
Sometimes, when things are too smooth, you need to be a little more alert.
Otherwise, it's easy to suffer losses.
“This is one of the few life experiences I summarized in my previous life,” Xu Chengxian thought.
That mouthful he swallowed from the Qiankun Cauldron not only allowed his clone to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but also greatly increased the essence, blood, and Qi of his main body.
Moreover, even at this moment, the aftereffects of devouring and refining the power of faith's spiritual liquid were still ongoing.
The speed at which his main body condensed essence, blood, and Qi was much faster than before.
Especially with his current cultivation in the Demon General Realm, this was equivalent to crossing from the initial stage to the middle stage of the Demon General Realm.
On the path of cultivation, the higher you go, the harder it is to overcome obstacles.
A small obstacle could trap countless cultivators.
So, logically speaking, Xu Chengxian didn't need to rush at all.
In fact, if he were only concerned about himself, he really wouldn't be in a hurry.
“I even want to find a place to drill into the ground and sleep for a thousand or eight hundred years, then come out and directly dominate the world,” Xu Chengxian chuckled to himself.
But, he couldn't.
He had an Empress sister and a Dao Lord brother.
“I can't be too lazy,” Daoist Xu thought.
Whenever he wanted to lie down and be a salted fish, he would think about how, if they met again and Lingxiao and Lingyunzi's cultivation was far higher than his, what kind of mocking expressions they would have. He would immediately regain his motivation to strive.
“Before, my cultivation was higher than theirs, and I didn't bully them any less. The two of them couldn't beat me even when they teamed up, and every time they broke through, I would hit them over the head. Tsk, if they become stronger than me...”
Could he even live through those days?
Good heavens, they might really make him a dragon horse pulling a cart, the main soul in the Myriad Soul Banner.
“How could that be allowed? I only have one big brother, and it wouldn't be good if my younger brother and sister fought over me.”
So, for their sake, Xu Chengxian decided that he must actively become stronger.
Besides, being the big brother and suppressing the Empress and the Dao Lord felt so good. He wouldn't mind experiencing it a few more times.
In addition, he also had a youthful and beautiful Xiaocui to look after.
“I don't want to have the frustrating experience of being unable to retaliate one day if someone bullies my Xiaocui,” Xu Chengxian thought, grinning.
Which bastard dared to do that? Soul scattered, bones crushed to ashes, that was the standard.
The last one, Jin Hong, was already thoroughly dead.
He just didn't know if Yuguang was dead or not.
“Da Xu, Da Xu!” Da Hei suddenly jumped over and stood beside him. “Are you asleep?”
“...What is it?” Xu Chengxian sat up.
He was so annoyed that he couldn't sleep for the time being.
“You're not asleep? That's good.” Da Hei chuckled, “Da Xu, can we go faster?”
“Hmm?” Xu Chengxian raised an eyebrow. “Have you thought of another reason to persuade me?”
“No. This venerable one wants to say, aren't you worried that the relic will be taken away from the Sea Soul Gate?” Da Hei said in an exaggerated tone, “That's the relic of a Bodhisattva Realm cultivator!”
“...We don't need to worry about that. The Sea Soul Gate will keep a good eye on it,” Xu Chengxian waved his hand and said.
If the Sea Soul Gate didn't have the ability to protect its treasures, they would have been taken away long ago.
Haven't you heard?
There are also Golden Core stage cultivators sitting behind the Sea Soul Gate.
Within a radius of thousands of miles, the largest cultivator forces are the Bodhi Temple, the Sea Soul Gate, and the Two Realms River.
“As long as the other two don't snatch it...”
“What if someone wants to steal it, just like us?” Da Hei asked again.
“That's even better, let them help us scout the way,” Xu Chengxian said.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Maybe we can save some effort.
“Anyway, it's unlikely that anyone has the ability like me to swallow it directly into my stomach and refine it.”
So even if they take it away, they won't be able to use it for a while.
“There's still a chance it will fall into our hands.”
“This... Hey? Those four great monks!” Da Hei suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of the four Vajras of the Bodhi Temple who had come to Xiangji Mountain and then turned around and left. “They went to the Sea Soul Gate to demand the relic! If they get it back...”
“Wouldn't that be even better?” Xu Chengxian laughed directly.
Which is easier to steal from, four great monks who ran away at the sight of his main body, or to steal from the Sea Soul Gate?
It was obvious!
“Unfortunately, they definitely won't get it back.” He shook his head regretfully.
“Why?”
“Does that even need to be asked?”
You exchange treasures with someone, and then they lose your treasure. Then they turn around and want to take their treasure back from you. Would you give it to them?
“Only a fool would give it!”
“That's the end of it.”
Even if there are fools in the Sea Soul Gate, they definitely won't all be fools.
So when Xu Chengxian and the others entered Xuzhou, they heard the people talking, saying that four great monks were causing trouble in the city and were beaten up and taken away by the left and right guardians of the Sea Soul Gate.
“Haha!” Xu Chengxian laughed loudly.
Then he turned around and asked Ma Chengfeng to go to the Governor's Mansion.
As soon as the invitation was sent in, a ball of flesh rolled out, shouting, “Daoist Xu, you've finally come!”
