There was a small bridge over a stream, and young birds were singing for the first time. There was a family hidden in an empty valley. A figure in a long robe stood in front of the stream with his hands clasped behind his back, lost in thought.
A man, a valley, and a world. They were almost inseparable.
"Master?"
Yang Jian took a step forward and called out softly.
"Come here."
Yuding Zhenren called out softly. Yang Jian stepped forward and bowed to his master.
'Should I congratulate Master? Will that make Master feel estranged? ' However, becoming a Saint was something that should be congratulated. As a disciple, it did not matter if he was a bit tacky.
"Master …"
"Forget it." Yuding Zhenren chuckled and turned to look at Yang Jian. There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
It was as if becoming a Saint was not something worth celebrating for Yuding Zhenren.
'Could it be that Master did not become a Saint but failed to become one?'
Yang Jian panicked a little. He had never panicked when facing death several times, but at this moment, it was really difficult for him to calm himself down, and he couldn't stop thinking about these things.
Yuding Zhenren seemed to be able to read Yang Jian's mind. He sighed softly and said, "Don't worry. I have already taken that step. There will be no danger."
"Master … Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Yuding gently raised his left hand. A small green cauldron was spinning in his hand, and a Great Dao that Yang Jian had never experienced in the world slowly spread out.
This was Yuding's Dao of Creation!
It was a Great Dao that belonged only to Yuding Zhenren!
A cultivator and a cultivator's own Dao were actually interdependent.
Cultivators relied on their understanding of the Dao to step into longevity and higher realms. The Dao also continued to sublimate because of the cultivator, gradually becoming the truth between heaven and earth.
Yuding's Dao of Creation, which Yuding Zhenren cultivated, had now become a real Great Dao, and Yuding Zhenren had also used this Great Dao to stand at the peak of the Dao Realm.
A Saint of the Great Path.
Yang Jian heaved a sigh of relief and grinned at his master. "No matter what, I have to congratulate you. From now on, Master will be the eighth Saint of the Primordial World. Congratulations on achieving your wish."
"This is nothing to celebrate." Yuding looked at the small cauldron in his hand and sighed softly. The small cauldron slowly turned into a pale yellow pearl that was filled with specks of light.
Yuding Zhenren said, "In order to become a Saint, I have borne too many sins and committed countless mistakes …"
"Master, that was done by Kun Peng. It has nothing to do with Master." Yang Jian hurriedly comforted him. "Master is Master, Kun Peng is Kun Peng. Grandmaster has said it many times before."
"But I was born from Kun Peng's heart demon. Although I am not of the same mind as Kun Peng, we share the same origin. I should bear the sins of Kun Peng."
Yuding waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore. You don't have to worry. What I want to do now is to do more for the Primordial World and make up for what I owe."
"Master …"
Yang Jian smiled helplessly and could only nod in agreement.
"This is Master's mental state. Follow Master and walk around."
"Yes." Yang Jian nodded. With a thought, the robe on his body changed into the one he often wore on the Jade Spring Mountain.
The master and disciple slowly walked along the stream. The stream was the memory that Yuding Zhenren had locked in his heart. If Yang Jian stared at the stream carefully, he could see many images flashing through it.
After walking for a while, Yuding Zhenren suddenly asked, "Do you still remember that you once said that you would live a carefree life above longevity?"
"I remember." Yang Jian smiled awkwardly. "Back then, I was young and inexperienced. Master, don't tease me. Longevity is just the beginning of cultivation. It's really difficult to live a carefree life. "
Yuding Zhenren smiled and said, "Actually, I remember that when I first cultivated, I said something similar. However, the one who accompanied me at that time was the Black Tortoise."
There was a hint of loneliness and emptiness in Yuding's eyes again. Yang Jian coughed and took the initiative to change the topic. "Master, when was the happiest period of time after you cultivated?"
"After you entered the Jade Spring Mountain."
Yang Jian was stunned. He did not expect his master to say that. Although he was a little happy, he was a little puzzled.
Yuding said, "From the moment I separated from the Kun Peng essence soul and turned into a Spirit God from a wisp of obsession to the moment you became my disciple, I only thought about how to cultivate and become a Saint. I have never let go of it."
"What about after I became your disciple?"
"I feel that if I can't become a Saint, it's not bad to nurture a disciple who can become a Saint." Yuding Zhenren chuckled and waved his left hand. Paintings appeared on the stream.
From the moment Yang Jian entered the mountain to the moment Yang Jian moved out of the Jade Spring Mountain with his family …
Yuding Zhenren let out a long sigh and said softly, "Actually, I'm just using your cultivation level to constantly comfort myself and avoid the past."
"Master." Yang Jian's heart was naturally filled with emotions. His fingers slid across the corner of his eyes without a trace. "Now that Master has become a Saint, you should let go of your obsession."
"That's right. It's time to let go." Yuding Zhenren slowly heaved a sigh of relief and continued walking by the stream silently.
Yang Jian frowned slightly. He sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly followed.
"Master?" Yang Jian reached out and grabbed Yuding Zhenren's arm.
Yuding Zhenren seemed to have woken up from a dream. His body paused, and his eyes gradually lit up.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"It's fine." Yuding Zhenren patted the back of Yang Jian's hand and smiled bitterly. "It's precisely because I let go of this obsession the moment I became a Saint that I'm trapped in this mental realm and can't get out."
Yang Jian was shocked. "Why?"
Yuding said, "I was born from an obsession. If I lose this obsession, how can I live? Why should I live?"
Yang Jian's face was a little pale. He hurriedly said, "Master, why do you think so? Could it be that there's nothing else in this world that you care about other than cultivating the Dao? Master, cultivating the Dao is just to achieve the Dao. Achieving the Dao is just to let oneself live better. You don't have to suffer all kinds of threats and have the strength to protect everything that you care about. Cultivating the Dao should not be just for the sake of cultivating the Dao! "
"Don't worry …"
Yuding Zhenren's gaze revealed a hint of helplessness. After all, he had been lectured by his disciple.
"The moment you came in, I've already walked out of this predicament."
Yang Jian asked worriedly, "Master, have you really walked out?"
Yuding Zhenren said, "I've already achieved the Great Dao. I naturally have to make up for my mistakes back then. I have to protect the Primordial World and the thousands of living beings. It can be considered as atoning for the sins that the Kun Peng did back then."
Yang Jian heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little helpless.
However, he vaguely felt that his master had not finished speaking. There seemed to be other more important reasons for Yuding to decide to stay and not turn into an ethereal spirit and dissipate.
However, since Yuding Zhenren did not say anything, Yang Jian did not ask further. As long as he was sure that his master would not take things too hard, there was no need to ask for anything else.
Yang Jian asked, "Master, what plans do you have next?"
"I'll either return to the Jade Spring Mountain to enter seclusion or continue cultivating at the foot of the Qilin Cliff." Yuding Zhenren thought for a while. "I should return to the Jade Spring Mountain. I'm most familiar with that place and feel the most at ease living there."
"Master, compared to Daoist Tian Yan, whose mystical abilities are more powerful?"
"Fellow Daoist Tian Yan is naturally stronger than me. The Great Dao he cultivates is all-encompassing and he has the Chaos Bell in his hand."
Yang Jian asked again, "Master, how do you compare to the Three Pure Ones?"
Yuding pondered for a while and analyzed the power of the Three Pure Ones with Yang Jian in detail. He did not realize that the topic had already been led away by Yang Jian.
The master and disciple strolled by the stream until they reached the deepest part of the empty valley.
In front of them was a fog, and the stream extended into the fog.
Yang Jian stopped and was blocked by an invisible barrier. Yuding Zhenren continued to walk forward. He took two steps before stopping and turning to look at Yang Jian.
"Master, let's go out and chat."
"Don't chat. Go and cultivate. As a Saint, I can only increase the combat power of the Primordial World. The one who can really support the Great Tribulation in the future is you."
Yuding waved his hand. Yang Jian bowed to his master and smiled. His figure was about to dissipate.
"Help me thank the fellow Daoists who came to attend the ceremony. I will not go out to meet them."
"Yes, Master."
Yang Jian replied. After he disappeared, the word "Master" continued to reverberate in the empty valley.
In the sky above Qilin Cliff, Yang Jian, who had not moved for a long time, swayed his body.
At the same time, jade lotuses floated in the world. The immortal fog around Qilin Cliff kept churning and finally turned into eight acres of auspicious clouds.
The auspicious beasts let out a long cry, and the dragons and phoenixes were auspicious.
The rays of light spread for millions of kilometers, and the Dao Court appeared in the world.
A jade-colored pillar of light soared into the sky from Qilin Cliff. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the Primordial World and the endless Chaos Sea. It forcefully added a Great Dao to the sea of Dao laws in the tangible world!
Yuding Zhenren became a Saint today!
