Immortal fate was easy to understand. It was fate with the Immortal Dao, or it could be said to be luck.
Some cultivators had good aptitude, but bad luck. Their path to immortality was full of twists and turns, and they would suffer from Qi Deviation or be killed the moment they started cultivating. There were even embarrassing cases of cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots being bitten to death by poisonous insects during Core Formation.
But on the contrary, some cultivators with mediocre aptitudes had extremely good immortal fate. When they went out to walk, they would kick over spiritual treasures and strange objects, they would pick up ancient secret books when they went to the toilet, or they would fall off a cliff and encounter a heaven-shaking divine weapon.
In fact, many old monsters with mediocre aptitudes in Cang Nan Continent had mediocre aptitudes, but all of them had obtained many immortal fate. Therefore, what Ye Kong said was very reasonable.
Daoist Wan Xuan stroked his beard and smiled. His eyes were also re-evaluating this youth. However, what he didn't understand was, what was a Bitter Spirit Root?
Ye Haoran saw Daoist Wan Xuan looking at his son with a smile and felt very comforted. Idiots and geniuses could really turn into each other. He didn't know where this kid got his reasoning from, but he even made an immortal laugh.
"Immortal fate is understandable. Then, can you tell me about the Bitter Spirit Root?" Daoist Wan Xuan's tone was much more amiable.
Ye Kong hurriedly replied, "Actually, the Bitter Spirit Root is what I meant by being able to endure hardship. The path to immortality is extremely dangerous. You must have the determination to discard all distracting thoughts and cultivate diligently. No matter how good your Spirit Root or immortal fate is, if you don't work hard and slack off on playing or other things, you will only achieve nothing in the end."
"Haha, that makes sense. General Ye, you have a good son." Daoist Wan Xuan clapped his hands and smiled. His gaze was also very appreciative of this twelve year old youth.
"My son is used to being reckless. Daoist, please don't be offended." Although Ye Haoran said this, he gave him a thumbs up in his heart. Kid, not bad. There's a way.
Ye Kong also chuckled. He was already fantasizing about riding a flying sword and flying around the sky. However, who knew that Daoist Wan Xuan's next sentence would beat him back to his original state.
"Although what you said is reasonable, This Old Man can't accept you."
Ye Kong, who was still flying in the clouds, felt like he had fallen into a valley. "Why?"
"Because your personality is not suitable for immortal cultivation! You're straightforward and impulsive. You're straight and not bent. You like to show off, and you're sharp with your words. You're bold and reckless! Am I right? "
Ye Kong was stunned for a moment before replying, "That's right, all of them."
"That's why I can't accept you. Immortal Cultivators are supposed to be calm and peaceful, to have no desires or demands. In the Immortal Cultivation World, it's also important to hide one's shortcomings and endure patiently. Everything goes with the flow. Your personality is extremely unsuitable for Immortal Cultivation."
Daoist Wan Xuan's words beat Ye Kong to death. In despair, Ye Kong couldn't help but retort, "Immortal is wrong again. Don't cultivators have no desires? No! Immortal cultivators pursued the Heavenly Dao and immortality. This was their desire! Wouldn't the Immortal Cultivators be excited every time they improved their realm and strength? Aren't you excited about obtaining a powerful magical treasure? Aren't immortals like this? How can I not have any desires? "
Daoist Wan Xuan was rendered speechless by his words. Ye Haoran was afraid of offending the Daoist, so he quickly shouted, "How dare you! How can a brat like you reprimand an Immortal Master like this! "
However, it was better that Ye Haoran didn't reprimand him. Ye Kong couldn't take it anymore and said loudly, "Although Immortal Cultivation is magical, in my opinion, it's the same as practicing martial arts. Only by enduring the hardships can one rise above others. The Immortal Realm is indeed dangerous. Enduring patiently is because you don't have enough power. If an Immortal Cultivator has already reached the peak of the Immortal Dao, why would he need to endure patiently?"
This time, Daoist Wan Xuan found a loophole in his words and reprimanded, "You're right! If I were the number one Immortal in the world, of course I wouldn't need to endure patiently. But how many people truly stand at the peak of the Immortal Dao? I'm afraid of powerless yet daring brats like you! Do you know why I won't accept you? The biggest reason is that I'm afraid that your stubborn personality will bring a calamity to my Huang Prefecture's Wan Clan! "
Daoist Wan Xuan pointed at Ye Kong and reprimanded, "Your aptitude is poor. If you don't change your impulsive and flamboyant temper, no sect will dare to accept you!"
Ye Kong was also angered by his words. He laughed coldly and said, "A man should laugh when he needs to laugh, scold when he needs to scold, and roar when he sees injustice on the road! If one is afraid of everything, never having a chance to stand out, and lives with his tail between his legs, how boring would one's life be? There should be the necessary patience, and I can do that too. But if I have to endure everything, I have to endure when I meet an opponent, I have to endure when I meet a fellow sect member, I have to be restrained when I meet someone with a higher cultivation, and I have to be afraid of someone with a lower cultivation, is there any meaning in that? Is there any fun? Also, I have to endure when I meet delicacies, and I have to endure when I meet beautiful women. This Immortal Cultivation is too boring. Even if I live for a thousand years, it's just a thousand years of a joke! "
After Ye Kong finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask mischievously, "May I ask how old Immortal Master is? You're still a virgin, right? Is there any joy in your life? "
"You're too much!" Ye Haoran finally couldn't take it anymore. He didn't stop the argument earlier, no matter how intense it was. He hoped that his son could convince the Perfected One, but he didn't expect this brat to actually ask if the Immortal was a virgin.
More importantly, Perfected Wan Xuan's face and neck turned red from the question. It looked like he had really asked the right question. Second Madam and Third Madam beside him couldn't help but let out ear-piercing laughter.
Ye Haoran had no choice but to make a move. If he really angered the Immortal Master to the point of exterminating his entire sect, he wouldn't be able to reason with him. The Immortal Master had really hit on this brat's troublemaking personality.
"You're too much!" Ye Haoran roared angrily as he swung his hand and slapped Ye Kong. This time, he was truly angry. This slap caused Ye Kong to be unable to stand.
Ye Kong grunted and fell onto the main square table beside Perfected Wan Xuan. This slap caused half of his face to swell rapidly, and he sprawled on the edge of the table, unable to stand up.
However, just as he fell in front of the table, his eyes suddenly lit up. Something in front of him caught his attention!
"Perfected One, this brat is arrogant and bold. He is truly despicable. It's my fault for not managing my family properly. Please don't take offense and forgive me." Ye Haoran didn't bother asking Ye Kong and quickly apologized to Perfected Wan Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Perfected Wan Xuan was first angry, then dazed, and after Ye Haoran apologized, he actually smiled again.
"General Ye, you gave birth to a good son. Although his words are extreme, if you think about it carefully, every word is reasonable. This Old Man had no joy to speak of in the first one hundred and fifty years of his life. Now that I think about it, it's really boring. When I go back, I will definitely marry a wife. Haha, it's this brat who enlightened me!" After Perfected Wan Xuan finished speaking, he patted Ye Kong, who was sprawled on the ground, and stood up to leave. "General Ye, I have come with my intentions. I will take my leave now."
"Bastard, aren't you going to thank Perfected One for his magnanimity?" Ye Haoran kicked Ye Kong's butt again.
"Oh, Perfected One, please forgive me. Perfected One, thank you. I just love to talk nonsense. Hit your mouth … Oh, my father hit you too hard. You can't hit me anymore."
"Haha." Perfected Wan Xuan laughed for a while. Before he left, he warned again, "Although what you said is reasonable, in the future, no matter if you are in the cultivation world or the mortal world, when you don't have any strength, you still have to keep a low profile. Remember, keep a low profile!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Kong hurriedly answered, but his eyes were still on the table. It wasn't that he didn't respect the Perfected One, but that this thing was too attractive. Once he looked, he couldn't look away.
What could attract Ye Kong so much? Of course, it wasn't a beautiful woman, but the pure white scroll on the table.
This Ye Jiabao Book, which Perfected Wan Xuan had asked around and finally determined to be useless, seemed to have sucked Ye Kong's soul away. It was like an old pervert who saw a woman's chest. Once he set his eyes on it, he couldn't leave.
The reason why that useless book could make Ye Kong forget his pain and stare at it so intensely was because on the cover, written in Chinese characters … Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture.
Oh my god! It's actually Chinese characters! I'm not fighting alone! A voice was shouting in Ye Kong's heart. That kind of excitement couldn't be expressed in words.
When Ye Wei brought him here from the school, he already told him some things, such as this Ye Family's treasured book and how it was deemed trash by Perfected Wan Xuan.
This thing was trash to others, but to Ye Kong, it was the most precious treasure. Who told him to come from Earth and China? If an American came, even if he knew that it was Chinese characters, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize the content.
Most importantly, from the title of the book, it was a cultivation manual!
Ye Kong couldn't care less about others. Taking advantage of Ye Haoran calling Perfected Wan Xuan to leave, he quickly grabbed the treasured book on the table. After casually flipping through it, he was overjoyed.
This was indeed a cultivation manual. It was written by an immortal master who came from Earth thousands of years ago. The first paragraph of the book made people feel a sense of familiarity. "Hey, friend, welcome to Cang Nan Continent. Are you happy to see familiar characters? I feel very happy too. However, I probably won't be able to see you again. I've already passed the heavenly tribulation and don't have much time left in this world. This Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture is the summary of my thousand years of cultivation. Just treat it as a greeting gift for my old friend. However, by the time you see this book, maybe a thousand years have passed, or maybe ten thousand years have passed … who knows? Perhaps no one in this continent will ever understand Chinese … This world is really f * cked up. Remember, don't trust anyone! If possible, I really want to go back to Earth … "
"You understand these characters!" For some reason, Ye Haoran had already walked back to the reception hall. Because Perfected Wan Xuan listened to Ye Kong's words, he didn't go out. Instead, he stood at the entrance of the reception hall and left on his Dharma artifact. That was why Ye Haoran returned so quickly.
"I …" Ye Kong's mind spun quickly. Perfected Wan Xuan became high-profile, but Ye Kong became low-key. Thinking of Perfected Wan Xuan's warning and the message from his old friend from Earth, Ye Kong immediately smiled. "How can I recognize these characters? They're really strange characters. They're like squares."
"If you don't recognize them, then what are you looking at?" Ye Haoran was still angry. He snatched the treasured book from Ye Kong's hands and scolded, "You unfilial son! Do you know how dangerous it was today? Is an immortal master someone you can scold and laugh at? "
Ye Kong lowered his head and muttered, "Immortals are reasonable too. Perfected Wan Xuan said that I was reasonable."
Second Madam, who was holding back her anger, finally had a chance to speak. She harrumphed and said, "I told him not to come, but he insisted. He will only bring shame to the Ye Clan."
"Nonsense!" Ye Haoran turned around and glared at Second Madam. He hated this woman to the core. If she didn't interrupt, Perfected Wan Xuan might have taken Ye Kong in. However, this brat Ye Kong is really despicable. Can't you be more courteous to the immortal master? Maybe Perfected Wan Xuan saw that your temper isn't that bad and brought you back to the mountain.
Anyway, no matter what, it's all over now.
Ye Haoran looked at his wife and then at Ye Kong. The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. He prepared for so long, and now he suffered a crushing defeat. He blamed these two people as the culprits. There's no need to mention the anger in his heart.
"Bang!" Ye Haoran fiercely smashed the sandalwood square table with his fist, smashing a large hole in the table that was as solid as a lump of iron.
"Ye Kong! Go to the Ye Clan Ancestral Hall and reflect on yourself in front of your ancestors! If you don't change your bad temper, you're not allowed to come out! " Ye Haoran decided to punish Ye Kong. This meant that he wanted Ye Kong to face the wall and reflect on his misdeeds. However, it wasn't convenient for him to scold his wife in public. He glared at her and walked out angrily.
Ye Kong didn't care about facing the wall and reflecting on his misdeeds. However, what made him uncomfortable was the scripture. Dad, show this bro the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture!
