Chapter 464

Canshui Peak.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle Ge." Tong Yasong and Hu Yang were about to enter the Dao Listening Hall excitedly when they suddenly saw a purple light approaching. It was the head of the Tian Xuan Peak, the high-grade Jindan Grandmaster, Ge Chenghui. Rumor had it that he even had a shapeshifting magic treasure.

Ge Chenghui smiled and waved his hand. "Perfected Lord Shi's preaching is a grand event of our sect. You don't have to be so polite. Go in quickly and don't miss the opportunity."

Although he said that, Ge Chenghui still had deep doubts and shock in his heart. After meeting Perfected Lord Shi last time, he had asked his master in private and learned that Perfected Lord Shi had entered the first Celestial's Blight less than 51 years ago. When he got the magic treasures, he wanted to stabilize his cultivation and realm first and then thank Perfected Lord Shi. Who knew that a few days ago, when he came out of seclusion, he heard about Perfected Lord Shi's preaching. When he asked his master, he found out that Perfected Lord Shi had passed through the first Celestial's Blight in only 51 years. It was really incredible.

"Before we entered the sect, we had already heard of Ancestral Master Shi's name, but after we entered the sect, we never had the chance to meet him. Today, we can listen to his preaching, so we are really excited. Please forgive us for our rudeness just now." Hu Yang was more introverted. Seeing that Ge Chenghui was not in a hurry, he calmed down and made an explanation for his eagerness just now.

Ge Chenghui laughed and scolded, "I already said there's no need to be so polite. You don't think it's troublesome, but I also think it's a waste of time. If you miss Perfected Lord Shi's preaching, you will be the one to blame. "

Hearing Ge Chenghui's words, Hu Yang and Tong Yasong secretly stuck out their tongues and turned to enter the Dao Listening Hall.

The Dao Listening Hall didn't seem big, but all the disciples and elders of Penglai's sect were gathered here, so it still seemed spacious. Sitting at the head was Pan Zikai, the Essence Soul Perfected Master. Ge Chenghui, Hu Yang, and Tong Yasong had all heard his preaching, so they recognized him. They quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Perfected Master Pan."

Pan Zikai gently nodded, then said, "Quickly sit down, it's almost time." Thus, the three of them found their seats and sat down.

After a while, a young Daoist dressed in a green Daoist robe walked out from the back of the hall. He had an extraordinary demeanor and an ordinary aura. He walked up to the podium and sat in the middle.

"Greetings, Founder Stone." Everyone bowed in unison. On a formal occasion, even the disciples and elders who were used to calling Immortal Shi Zhenjun "Patriarch" had to call him "Patriarch".

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Sit down."

After everyone sat down, Tong Yasong suddenly felt that something was wrong. In her shock, she couldn't care less about the situation and hurriedly used her soul sense to ask Hu Yang, "Why doesn't Ancestor Shi have that illusory and faintly discernible celestial breath?!" After opening up some of the records in the ancient books, and with Shi Xuan, the Lord Of Heaven, as a demonstration, as well as the various rumors in the outside world, the disciples of Penglai all came to know about the unique illusory aura of the Celestial Being Realm.

At this time, some disciples with low cultivation even blurted out, "Why is it different from the legends? Shouldn't it be as if one is behind countless spaces, seemingly close but actually far away, and incomparably illusory? "

Although the voice was soft, it could be heard clearly by cultivators with sensitive ears, eyes, and soul sense. The Daoist Hall became a little noisy.

Hu Yang was shocked. He carefully sensed it and found that it was indeed so. He said in surprise, "Could it be the incarnation or thought of Ancestor Shi?"

After a pause, she remembered that Ancestor Shi had always advanced beyond everyone's expectations. In shock, she directly said, "Or has Ancestor Shi passed the first Celestial's Blight?"

As soon as she said this, the entire Daoist Hall, except for a few cultivators who already knew about it, such as Pan Zikai, Ning Feng, and Ge Chenghui, were all shocked and fell into a strange silence. This was incredible, but also reasonable. For most of the Lord Of Heaven, passing the first Celestial's Blight in more than 1,600 years was completely unimaginable. Some even struggled bitterly, and some even died. But Ancestor Shi was such a figure that it was normal.

Thinking about how Ancestor Shi hadn't preached for more than a hundred years, they were even more certain. For a moment, everyone was excited and overflowing with joy.

In response, Shi Xuan only smiled and directly began to preach.

But the disciples believed that this was Ancestor Shi's tacit agreement. After all, with his ability, it was impossible for him to not hear the noise below. So they all straightened their backs and began to listen with an expression of pride.

Because most of the disciples were below the Nascent Divinity stage, Shi Xuan naturally wouldn't speak too deeply. He only used his current knowledge and understanding of the "Shenxiao True Method" and the other cultivation methods below the Golden Core stage to explain it again.

Although there was nothing new in the content, Ancestor Shi's words were thought-provoking and went straight to the core. It was as if the normally difficult cultivation methods suddenly became simple and smooth, causing the disciples to be deeply immersed in it.

The sun was setting in the west and the sky was getting dark. Shi Xuan lightly said, "This is the content below the Golden Core stage of the Six Great Teachings and Eight Great Cultivation Methods of our sect. Today's Dao preaching is over." The "Outer Nether Green Chapter" had already been sorted out and included in Penglai's teachings. There were also some other good cultivation methods that he had obtained over the years that were added to the Five Great Cultivation Methods.

The disciples suddenly came back to their senses and felt a sense of loss and reluctance.

Seeing this, Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Before I end, I have a question to ask all of you." Looking at these disciples who were separated by an unknown number of generations, Shi Xuan actually had a slight feeling that he could call himself the Lao Dao.

"Ancestor Shi, please ask." The disciples were excited again.

Shi Xuan slowly said, "If one day you are in danger and bullied, if you compromise, there is a seventy to eighty percent chance that you will be able to escape alive. In the future, your cultivation will improve, and you may be able to take revenge. If you fight to the death and fight back, there is a ten to twenty percent chance that you will be able to kill the enemy or escape. Do you choose to accept the situation, even if you feel wronged, or do you choose to disregard everything and seek peace? "

The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone understood that Ancestor Shi's question had a deeper meaning, so they did not dare to answer rashly. They imagined what would happen and tried to figure it out in their hearts. As they thought about it, many people fell into a dilemma.

After a while, Shi Xuan lightly knocked on the jade bell in front of him. A clear and crisp sound rang out, waking everyone up. "Does anyone answer?"

Ge Chenghui was the first to stand up. "Reporting to Ancestor Shi, I choose to seek peace."

"I feel that as long as there is life, there is hope." Hu Yang also stood up and answered.

With someone taking the lead, the disciples all stood up. Tong Yasong said with a determined face, "I would rather die standing."

"If we take risks every time, won't we die ten times out of ten?"

"But if we always compromise and retreat, there will come a day when we can't retreat anymore. We still have to fight to the end."

…

After listening to many arguments, Shi Xuan once again knocked on the jade bell in front of him to quiet the disciples.

They immediately held their breaths and waited for Ancestor Shi's answer.

"Just now, you wanted to clear your mind. If you encounter danger, you might as well try to retreat temporarily and get rid of your reckless thoughts. Just now, you wanted to compromise. If you encounter a life and death situation, you might as well consider to clear your mind and get rid of the fear in your heart," Shi Shuan replied with a smile. "Alright, that's enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xuan disappeared from the platform, leaving the disciples looking at each other in dismay. Ancestor Shi's answer was too ambiguous!

…

In the Ends of the Earth building, the sect leader Ning Feng had been thinking about the question just now. He didn't understand Shi Xuan's answer, so he specially came to ask, "Immortal Shi, is it better to compromise and wait for the future, or is it better to have peace and have a narrow escape from death?"

"It's both good and bad." Shi Xuan said with a smile.

Ning Feng was stunned. "Why? Then how should I choose? "

"When you understand, then tell me." Shi Xuan shook his head.

…

On this day, Shi Xuan was in the cave practicing immortal techniques when he suddenly felt Ao Gu touch the sound transmission restriction. He understood that the Taixu Temple of the Nanyin world had sent someone to pick him up. Because it only said one thousand six hundred years later, Shi Xuan didn't specifically wait.

"Master, Qinghe Tongzi wants to see you." Ao Gu's voice came. It seemed that he had an impression of what happened last time.

Shi Xuan asked Ao Gu a few questions, and Ao Gu answered them fluently, as if everything was normal. Ao Gu said that the moment he saw Qing He Boy, he recalled how he greeted Ao Gu before.

Since he couldn't get any clues in a short period of time, Shi Xuan could only let Qinghe Tongzi in. He was wearing hemp clothes and straw shoes, and his hair was tied in a bun. He was no different from last time. He was still serious like a little adult. "Greetings, Immortal Shi. Congratulations on passing the first Celestial's Blight."

Shi Xuan nodded. "Are you going to the banquet at the Taixu Temple?"

"If Immortal Shi is willing, the carriage is waiting outside Penglai." Qinghe Tongzi replied very politely.

Shi Xuan leisurely stood up. "Please lead the way."

Following Qinghe Tongzi, Shi Xuan walked out of the cave. The sky was dark, and there were very few disciples coming and going in Penglai. It seemed a bit dull.

Shi Xuan used his immortal sense to inform Xu Zhenjun, and then came outside Penglai. He saw nine mighty heavenly dragons pulling a gorgeous carriage waiting there.

He frowned slightly because Shi Xuan felt the illusory aura of these nine heavenly dragons. Celestial Being Realm?! "No, it feels even more illusory than normal, even more dreamy and illusory!"

There were too many guesses, and Shi Xuan couldn't be sure, so he suppressed his thoughts and got on the carriage under Qinghe Tongzi's lead. He heard Qinghe Tongzi say softly, "Let's go." The nine heavenly dragons immediately rose into the sky, and in just a moment, they appeared in the void universe. It was dark everywhere, and he could see a few bright stars from afar. But under this vast void, they seemed so small and dim.

When they reached the void, Shi Xuan realized that he forgot to use his immortal sense, and now he didn't know where he was. After calculating, the heavenly secrets seemed to have fallen into a fog. "It's very strange, unusual."

The nine heavenly dragons pulled Shi Xuan and quickly moved in a certain direction in the void. Occasionally, he could see a few worlds covered by a layer of earth energy, which made the void even more boundless, making people feel lonely and small.

After a while, a carriage suddenly caught up with them from behind.
