The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 595

"This disciple does not know how the Innate Realm is divided, but this disciple should be able to describe it in four words."

"Do as I please."

"Do as I please?"

Yue Buqun pondered these four words, somewhat confused. Jiang Ning, seeing this, said nothing more and directly activated his protective qi.

Suddenly, a Tai Chi diagram appeared within a few feet of Jiang Ning, enveloping him. The Tai Chi diagram was even slowly rotating, and a Daoist aura emerged.

As Jiang Ning contracted his protective aura to about three feet, the Tai Chi diagram became even clearer, causing Yue Buqun to widen his eyes in disbelief.

"This is... a protective aura?"

Yue Buqun asked in astonishment.

He had seen Jiang Ning's protective aura before, but it was shaped like a water curtain. When did it change to this?

"good."

Jiang Ning nodded.

He had previously practiced the Innate Skill. After reaching the Innate Realm, his protective aura formed a water-like effect based on the characteristics of the Innate Skill. However, after he comprehended the Dao at the summit of Mount Hua and created the Supreme Dao Scripture, the Innate Skill in his body automatically transformed into the Supreme Dao Scripture, and his protective aura also formed a Taiji diagram based on the characteristics of the Supreme Dao Scripture.

After hearing Jiang Ning's explanation, Yue Buqun still looked at Jiang Ning with an expression of utter astonishment, as if he had never heard of or seen anything like it before.

To be honest, Jiang Ning's current behavior and words are completely beyond his comprehension; he can't understand them at all.

Nevertheless, Yue Buqun knew that Jiang Ning's current level of cultivation was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Watching the Tai Chi diagram slowly rotate in front of Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning seemed to be the Tao itself.

Yue Buqun couldn't help but sigh at how fortunate he was to have taught a disciple like Jiang Ning.

"Ning'er, is the Supreme Dao Scripture you created really that miraculous? It doesn't consider talent or aptitude, but only focuses on character and temperament?"

Despite his guesses, Yue Buqun still asked about the things he was curious about.

He was eager to know if the Taishang Daojing (太上道经) practice was truly as miraculous as it seemed.

"good."

Jiang Ning nodded.

The Taishang Daojing (太上道经) is a technique he created based on inspiration from the Xiantian Gong (先天功), Chunyang Wuji Gong (纯阳无极功), Emei Jiuyang Gong (峨美九阳功), and countless other Daoist scriptures. It combines the strengths of several divine skills with his own insights and hard work. It can be said that the Taishang Daojing completely overturns previous divine skills and is a completely different technique.

Upon receiving Jiang Ning's personal confirmation, Yue Buqun was deeply shaken.

He knew Jiang Ning wouldn't exaggerate or lie; he meant what he said. If Jiang Ning could say that, it meant that this technique truly was like that, focusing only on one's mind and character.

One can imagine that if this skill were to spread throughout the martial arts world, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

This is a cultivation technique created by a contemporary immortal. As long as one possesses it, there is a possibility of reaching the innate realm. People in the martial arts world will surely go crazy for it.

However, Yue Buqun also knew that this skill was simple in its requirements, but it required an extremely high level of mental fortitude. Apart from Jiang Ning, very few people could master it.

Thinking of Jiang Ning's temperament, Yue Buqun couldn't help but shake his head at the difficulty of the prerequisites for this technique.

But Yue Buqun simply shook his head and ignored it.

He doesn't follow the path of ruthlessness, nor can he follow it; he has no affinity with this cultivation method.

Since we're not meant to be, why bother thinking about it?

Shaking his head, Yue Buqun brought up another matter that piqued his curiosity.

"By the way, Ning'er."

Yue Buqun asked curiously, "With your current level of cultivation, are you about to ascend?"

Yue Buqun realized that Jiang Ning's current realm had probably broken through the limits of mortals and was not much different from that of a true immortal. If that was the case, did it mean that Jiang Ning might become an immortal?

"Ascension?"

Jiang Ning chuckled softly upon hearing this and shook his head.

"Master, why be so obsessed with ascending to immortality?"

"Besides, ascension is not what I seek. There is something more important to me."

"what's up?"

Yue Buqun was taken aback.

Given Jiang Ning's current strength, he couldn't understand what could be so important to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled.

"This disciple is ready to descend the mountain and sweep through the martial world."

"Demon exorcist."

Chapter 808: Linghu Chong and Feng Qingyang

"Are you still going down the mountain?"

Even Yue Buqun was shocked.

Jiang Ning left the mountain when his martial arts skills were still second-rate. Even after becoming a terrestrial immortal, why did he still leave the mountain?

In the past, there was a demonic sect that wreaked havoc on the martial arts world. Now, the demonic sect has been wiped out, leaving only a few small fry. What would Jiang Ning do if he went down the mountain now that he has his status?

"It's been too long since I've come down from the mountain to see the world."

Jiang Ning simply smiled.

Living on Mount Hua would make him stand too high, too far removed from the human world.

"Alright."

Yue Buqun nodded and said nothing more.

After all, he was worried about Jiang Ning going down the mountain before because the Demonic Sect was powerful at that time and he was afraid that Jiang Ning would be besieged. Now that Jiang Ning is the number one in the world and the Demonic Sect has been wiped out, what is there to be afraid of?

"Your master and I are also preparing to go down the mountain to travel the world."

Originally, he planned to fulfill the promise he made when he got married after eradicating the Demonic Sect. However, the Huashan Sect was too busy with its development and urgently needed manpower. This delay lasted for nearly eight years. Yue Buqun is now almost seventy years old. Now that the Huashan Sect has stabilized, it is time to put down his burden.

Where are Master and Mistress planning to go first?

Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

"Let's go to the Western Regions."

Yue Buqun smiled.

"Your master and your mistress have never been to the Western Regions. Let's go and see the customs and culture of the Western Regions."

"Then I wish Master and Mistress a pleasant journey."

Jiang Ning smiled.

Yue Buqun also laughed.

On the other side, Yue Lingshan was also reluctant to see her parents go down the mountain for a trip, but she knew that her father, Yue Buqun, had devoted too much effort to the Huashan Sect and was only now, at nearly seventy years old, finally had time to come, so she naturally wouldn't stop him.

And so, a few days later, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze descended the mountain and began their honeymoon, which was decades overdue.

Jiang Ning was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. Before he went down the mountain, he wanted to make sure that the affairs of the Huashan Sect were settled so that the Huashan Sect would not be in chaos.

"Zhao Wuji, from this day forward you will be the acting head of the Huashan Sect. When I am not here, you will be in charge of handling the daily affairs of the Huashan Sect."

Lobby.

Jiang Ning looked at Zhao Wuji in front of him and said.

Zhao Wuji, with a solemn expression, stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting after hearing the sect leader's words.

"Yes, Master."

None of the other Huashan elders around had any objections to this scene.

Currently, besides Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun, and Ning Zhongze, Zhao Wuji holds the highest position in the Huashan Sect. As the peak master of the Discipline Peak, Zhao Wuji is responsible for the discipline of the Huashan disciples. In daily affairs, Zhao Wuji is meticulous, fair in rewards and punishments, and has been in charge of the Discipline Peak for many years without being impartial. He is a very upright person and resolutely and unconditionally carries out Jiang Ning's orders, making him the most suitable candidate at present.

After arranging his affairs, Jiang Ning did not rush down the mountain but went to check on Liu Zhao again. He found that Liu Zhao seemed to have become much more awake, but now he often sat alone, seemingly lost in thought. When Jiang Ning went to see him, Liu Zhao suggested that he wanted to go down the mountain again. He said that he still did not understand what the Dao was and he wanted to go down the mountain to find it.

Jiang Ning agreed, and Liu Zhao went down the mountain the next day.

……

"Dad, what are we doing here?"

Almost three years old, Xiao Zhaowei curiously followed Linghu Chong as they climbed Jade Maiden Peak.

Hearing his daughter's words, Linghu Chong smiled and said, "Father will take you to see someone."

After getting married, Linghu Chong seemed to have matured a lot and was not as carefree as before.

"Oh."

Xiao Zhao nodded obediently.

Linghu Chong led Xiao Zhaowei by the hand to the Cliff of Contemplation.

Xiao Zhao looked around with curiosity at everything.

"Father, where is this?"

Linghu Chong laughed.

"This is Dad's second home."

Xiao Zhao blinked slightly and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I want to live in a second home with Dad."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong's smile froze instantly, and he quickly coughed.

"Ahem, Wei, Dad hasn't lived here for a long time either."

He dared not let his daughter sleep here, fearing that if Yue Buqun found out, he would turn around and come back to deal with him.

After moving on from that topic, Linghu Chong turned around and looked around, shouting loudly.

"Grand Uncle."

As soon as Linghu Chong called out, Feng Qingyang appeared.

"What brings you here today?"

Feng Qingyang had a slight smile on his face.

Since Xiao Zhaowei was born, Linghu Chong has visited Siguo Cliff less often, but Feng Qingyang understands. After all, she is Linghu Chong's first daughter, and as a father and husband, Linghu Chong should spend more time with his wife and daughter.

Linghu Chong smiled sheepishly.

"My grand-disciple has visited much less frequently in the past two years, please don't be offended, Grand Uncle."

Feng Qingyang waved his hand.

"You've bothered me less these past two years, and I've had a lot more peace and quiet."

As he spoke, Feng Qingyang glanced at Xiao Zhaowei, who was hiding behind Linghu Chong with only half her head showing, and laughed.

"Is she Awei?"

"Ah."

Linghu Chong nodded, then pulled his daughter out from behind him and said to her, "Awei, do you see that old man? Go and call Grand Uncle."

Xiao Zhaowei was a little scared when she first met Feng Qingyang, but since her father had already spoken, she still stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said in a tender voice, "Grand Uncle."

Seeing Xiao Zhaowei's well-behaved appearance, Feng Qingyang's smile deepened.

"Good boy."

Feng Qingyang looked at Xiao Zhaowei and liked her more and more.

"Yue Buqun has taken good care of her."

Linghu Chong asked curiously, "Grandmaster Uncle, why don't you say that I raised Awei to be like this?"

Feng Qingyang chuckled, "With your temperament, how could you raise such an obedient daughter?"

Linghu Chong chuckled.

"Tell me, why did you bring Awei here today?"
