Shangguan Ling gave one of his residences in the Shangguan clan to Su Xin and Shi Daoxuan to discuss in secret. He and Shen Wuming hid far away, afraid that they would hear something they should not hear.
They were indeed very curious about what the Heaven Ascension realm cultivators wanted to talk about. They also wanted to hear it.
But they also knew that it did not matter if they heard what they should hear, but if they heard something they should not, they would die a horrible death.
Shi Daoxuan looked at Su Xin and said in a deep voice, "Lord Su, you specially called this poor monk here, what do you want to say?"
Su Xin did not answer directly. He only asked, "Master Shi Daoxuan, have you still not found your disciple?"
Shi Daoxuan shook his head. "Our Chan Monastery of the Lotus Flower cultivates a zen heart. It's very easy to find geniuses on the martial path, but finding suitable disciples of our Chan Monastery of the Lotus Flower isn't that easy.
The pugilistic world is like a huge dye vat. Few people who can survive in it are clean. Their states of mind have already been tainted with dust. Therefore, This Penniless Monk's target is now mainly the ordinary people of ordinary families. Even if their martial talent is poor, it's still possible. "
Su Xin nodded. At this time, he suddenly said, "Master Shi Daoxuan, actually, it is a good thing that you have not accepted a disciple now. If you really did accept a disciple, perhaps they would not be able to last for long."
Shi Daoxuan frowned. "Lord Su, what do you mean?"
Su Xin did not directly answer Shi Daoxuan. He only said indifferently, "Master Shi Daoxuan, you should have seen the scene of the Emperor's sword nailing the Hidden Dragon Vein back then, right?"
Shi Daoxuan nodded. A grave expression appeared on Su Xin's face. He said gravely, "The Emperor we have always viewed as a hero is not such a simple existence. Do you know what he is planning?"
As he spoke, Su Xin told Shi Daoxuan about the Yao Race's speculations about Human Emperor, their own speculations about this matter, the secrets of Human Emperor, and even his own desire to merge the Nine Extremes into one.
Only Meng Jingxian and Dizang Of Goguryeo knew about this. Su Xin was willing to tell Shi Daoxuan about this. Of course, it didn't mean that Shi Daoxuan was on par with Meng Jingxian and Dizang Of Goguryeo in Su Xin's eyes, but that this Grandmaster was one of the few virtuous people in the Jianghu.
Moreover, this time, if Su Xin wanted to convince the other party, he had to say all these things. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to convince the other party.
After hearing this news, Shi Daoxuan's eyes flashed with a trace of shock.
The things Su Xin said were things he had never come into contact with before. This was the first time he had heard of them. This definitely shook his worldview.
His instinctive reaction was to refute, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything to refute. If all of this was Su Xin talking nonsense, then his ability to talk nonsense was a bit too high.
Shi Daoxuan had a strange expression as he said, "Lord Su, according to what you said, the Human Emperor who was originally a hero of the human race is actually an ambitious and crazy person. And the Lord Su who is being cursed by the entire Jianghu is a hero who wants to save the people of the world. Including killing Jiang Yuanzhen and slaughtering the Imperial Heaven Region, is it also for the sake of the people of the world?"
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Although I, Su Xin, have done many evil things, at least I am not a hypocrite. Killing is killing, why use so many useless excuses?
I have no interest in being a hero, nor do I want to be one. I am doing all of this because I don't want to die.
Moreover, even if this didn't happen, just because Jiang Yuanzhen dared to attack me on the Path to Heaven, I would definitely kill him. "
Shi Daoxuan was slightly surprised by Su Xin's frankness. He asked, "Then Lord Su has come for this poor monk's secrets? Does Lord Su also want to kill this poor monk like he killed Jiang Yuanzhen? "
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Of course Master Shi Daoxuan's strength isn't something that trash Jiang Yuanzhen can compare to. I just want Master to hand over the Heaven Ascension State opportunity."
Shi Daoxuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lord Su, that's the power of the Heaven Ascension State. Even if I let go of my obsession, I can't let go of this level of power."
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Master Shi Daoxuan, is your disciple more important, or is your Heaven Ascension State more important?
I'm not trying to scare you, but if my guess is right, and the Human Sovereign really wants to fuse the Celestial Region and the Mortal World, even if your Lotus Monastery is in an independent space, you won't be able to escape!
At that time, you won't be able to find your disciple. Even if you find your disciple, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive. "
Shi Daoxuan's face showed a hint of hesitation. If Su Xin said this to anyone else, they would definitely start a fight.
But Shi Daoxuan was different. He was one of the few honest people in the Jianghu. Most importantly, in Shi Daoxuan's heart, his disciple was far more important than the power of the Heaven Ascension State.
What the Lotus Monastery cultivated was a zen heart. The Heaven Ascension State opportunity only meant that he could truly become a part of heaven and earth and control greater power. In fact, it didn't have any benefits to his cultivation.
So, compared to his disciple, Shi Daoxuan would rather give up the power of the Heaven Ascension State to find a qualified successor.
But he couldn't confirm the truth of what Su Xin had said. It was clearly impossible for him to give up the Heaven Ascension State opportunity so easily.
Seeing Shi Daoxuan's hesitation, Su Xin knew that he was already halfway to success.
As long as Shi Daoxuan didn't ask him to leave, it proved that Shi Daoxuan actually believed what he had said. Of course, Su Xin didn't lie to him this time. What he had said was the truth.
Su Xin looked at Shi Daoxuan and said in a low voice, "Master Shi Daoxuan, why don't we do this? What you lack right now is a disciple. I'll help you find a disciple so that the Lotus Monastery will have a successor, but you have to give the secret to me.
In this way, your Zen Monastery of the Lotus Flower will have disciples, and I will have the confidence to truly fight against the Human Emperor. If I win, then your Zen Monastery of the Lotus Flower can continue to exist. If I lose, then needless to say, I will lose even with the combined power of the Nine Superpowers. Master Shi Daoxuan, even if you keep the divine design, you will still lose. "
Shi Daoxuan asked in confusion, "You'll help me find a disciple?"
Su Xin said indifferently, "Master Shi Daoxuan, you're indeed powerful. You even have enough prestige in the Jianghu. But forgive me for being blunt. There are some things that you can't do just because you have enough prestige.
You don't have any power under you, and your requirements for choosing a disciple are so harsh. If you're alone, how long will it take you to find one?
And I, Su Xin, have millions of cultivators in the northwest under my command. The land of Sanxiang is also my territory. The Seven Gangs follow Su Xin's lead. Countless people in the Jianghu can gather information for me. Even the Golden Horde Kingdom has submitted to me. As long as I say it, my words are more effective than an imperial edict in the Golden Horde Kingdom.
And I'm on good terms with the Tie family of the Six Gates of Zhou Kingdom. As long as I say it, the constables of the Six Gates of Zhou Kingdom will immediately mobilize all their forces to find a disciple for Master Shi Daoxuan! "
Shi Daoxuan's eyes revealed a trace of shock. If Su Xin didn't say it himself, perhaps no one would have thought that the power under him had reached such a level. To say that he was dominating the Jianghu was more like it.
Right now, the power under Su Xin's control was even stronger than the Buddhist Sect and Taoist Sect. There was absolutely no one in the world that could compare to him.
Thinking that his disciple was still missing, Shi Daoxuan sighed and said, "This poor monk can agree to this matter, Lord Su. But only when Lord Su finds the disciple I want will I give you the Heaven's Secret."
Su Xin's face revealed a trace of a smile and said, "Of course, I, Su Xin, have always been a trustworthy person."
Shi Daoxuan frowned slightly. Su Xin had described his disciple as a commodity. Shi Daoxuan felt slightly uncomfortable.
At this time, Su Xin asked, "Master Shi Daoxuan, do you have any rigid requirements for your disciple? I will bring all the people who meet the requirements to you. "
Shi Daoxuan nodded. He took out a piece of paper and wrote a few questions about the Buddhist Sect. He gave it to Su Xin and said, "Those who can answer these questions have a certain level of comprehension. Of course, the most important thing is that they have an untainted Buddhist heart. There is one thing that can be identified."
As he spoke, Shi Daoxuan took out a lotus seed and said, "This is a lotus seed that grows in the Lotus Temple's pond. Every day, it is cleansed by chanting sutras and nourished by rootless water. It is not a spirit herb and does not have any power, but it can calm the mind. When I first entered the Lotus Temple, I did not abstain from eating, so I ate this lotus seed.
As long as someone with an untainted mind touches this lotus seed, it will emit a faint light. "
Su Xin nodded. This was very simple. He asked, "Does Master Shi Daoxuan still have these lotus seeds?"
Shi Daoxuan directly handed all the lotus seeds in his mustard seed bag to Su Xin and said, "I have a lot of these things. This poor monk has already reached the realm of abstaining from eating. It has been a long time since I used them."
Su Xin took the lotus seed and said, "Master Shi Daoxuan, please wait for a moment in Runan. Within a month, I can search the entire Jianghu and find the disciple you want!"
As he spoke, Su Xin directly turned and left.
Shi Daoxuan sighed behind Su Xin. He also did not know whether his choice was right or wrong.
Their Lotus Temple only had one disciple. This kind of inheritance had its benefits. It could ensure that each generation of the Lotus Temple's successor was extremely powerful. One person could support an entire sect.
Of course, there were also disadvantages. If one generation had a problem, then their Lotus Temple's inheritance would be completely severed.
