In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
Whether in blessed lands, the vast world, or even a region of heavens, the importance and role of innate spiritual roots are beyond description.
For example, the gate of Fangcun Mountain is hidden deep within layers of caves and is encompassed by the "Illusory Realm of Great Illusion," and was refined by the Taoist Zhenru within his own spiritual platform.
The manifested Heavenly Mountain is merely a blurred illusion, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.
It can be real, but as long as a Taoist's mind stirs, it can be turned into a void illusion.
This is the "truth" that Bai Cang only discovered after experiencing this battle with Daoist Zhenru and becoming deeply involved in his biggest secret plan.
Innate spiritual roots are relevant to blessed lands, the vast world, and even the heavens.
The most basic benefit is that it can greatly stabilize the spacetime within it and expand its potential.
Even though the Taoist priest desperately tried to contain the power of the "Illusory Realm of the Great Void," he was still able to withstand Bai Cang's "Great Five Elements Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Universe Starry Sky Extinction Divine Blade" without being fundamentally damaged.
The role of the innate spiritual root of the Ren Water Peach Tree is absolutely indispensable.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he was so generous in giving the Renshui peach tree to Bai Cang.
Ultimately, it all comes down to "seizing" the body of the Illusory Realm of the Great Void, so as to merge with the "Primordial Great Void Great Dao" and ascend to the Golden Immortal realm.
Whether it's strengthening Bai Cang or weakening "Taixu Illusionary Realm", the fundamental purpose remains the same and has never changed.
In a sense, Master Zhenru is not merely undermining Fangcun Mountain; he is severing the very root of this lineage of Taoism!
In fact, in order to merge with the "Primordial Great Void Dao", he did not hesitate to "give" the entire Fangcun Mountain to Bai Cang.
From Fangcun Mountain's perspective, this is clearly an act of treason.
And what's more, he's a traitor at the "Master Level," it's unbelievable!
The previous leader of Fangcun Mountain actually passed the position to Daoist Zhenru, which was a complete blunder; he simply had bad luck in choosing the wrong person.
But for Bai Cang, the continuation of Fangcun Mountain's lineage had absolutely nothing to do with him.
As long as he has enough benefits and a plausible excuse, that's enough for him.
Everything was Zhenru Daoren's own scheme, and had absolutely nothing to do with him, "Bingqing Yujie Bai Daojun".
However, as the illusory realm dissipated, Bai Cang had no time to ponder the innate spiritual root of the Ren Water Peach Tree.
He immediately planted it in the "Pot Heaven" and then took another step, arriving at the mountain gate at the summit of the Heavenly Divine Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, it's been a long time!"
Bai Cang smiled slightly, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him with a radiant smile and bright, kind eyes. A complex and indescribable "pity" flashed deep in his eyes.
From Ning Shuangrong's eyes, Bai Cang could only see overflowing joy, as well as her longing and yearning for her "lover".
Little did she know that the "lover" in her eyes had just been conspiring with her "Master" to "sell" the entire Fangcun Mountain.
However, for Ning Shuangrong, this might not be such a bad thing.
After all, her path, her life, and even her emotions were already deeply intertwined with Bai Cang.
To be honest, the rise and fall of Fangcun Mountain didn't have that much of an impact on her.
Moreover, when the Taoist priest called him a "traitor," he was not actually trying to overthrow the Fangcun Mountain Taoist tradition.
On the contrary, his generosity towards Bai Cang and his act of "selling" Fangcun Mountain to Bai Cang were also for the sake of Fangcun Mountain's survival.
As long as Bai Cang achieves great things in the future, Ning Shuangrong, as his "Daoist partner," will face less pressure in managing Fangcun Mountain.
As for the True Immortal himself, he will likely face the pursuit of the successive patriarchs of Fangcun Mountain the moment he ascends to the Golden Immortal realm.
Even Fangcun Mountain, a branch of the Great Red Heaven, might not be accepted by the patriarchs of past generations.
Otherwise, the true Taoist wouldn't have needed to "entrust his orphan" to Bai Cang.
There's no need to go to such lengths to find a reliable backer for Ning Shuangrong and Fangcun Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Ning?"
Ning Shuangrong was somewhat stunned on the spot.
Bai Cang immediately waved his hand, reminding her to be mindful of the occasion and the impact.
Little did they know that the impact had already been created the moment Bai Cang appeared.
While Bai Cang was "interacting" with Ning Shuangrong, the other disciples of Fangcun Mountain were also secretly observing him.
Countless eye contact conveyed a variety of messages.
The male cultivators' thoughts were very simple: "Senior Brother Yang" deserved to lose!
They're a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Who are you, a monster, to object?
Even disregarding everything else, Bai Cang's physical appearance alone was enough to make them all feel ashamed.
Even if he was a "kept man," they acknowledged that Bai Cang indeed had the "ability" to live off a woman.
What? You're saying you're envious, jealous, and hateful?
I do feel envious and jealous, but honestly, I don't dare to feel hatred!
Didn't you see what happened to those people who whispered crickets behind Ning Shuangrong's back?
Ning Shuangrong's ruthless treatment of Yang Ruli and others was like "six blows shattering the dream of the martial world," destroying all the male cultivators' admiration and affection for her.
Men have always been far more eager than women to see something so unattainable.
At least they know they're like a toad trying to eat swan meat, which is why there's the saying "Golden Toad Family".
Women's perception, or rather their fantasy, of "tall, rich, and handsome" men and "domineering CEOs" is always "Cinderella and the Prince."
They can even come up with ridiculous stories like "a 50-year-old cleaner being relentlessly pursued by a 20-year-old domineering CEO".
They not only refused to look in the mirror, but they didn't even dare to think about taking a piss to look at themselves.
Of course, this refers to a specific group, such as middle-aged girls or girls born in 1990. The vast majority of women are still normal people.
The female cultivators of Fangcun Mountain clearly did not have many "extraordinary beings".
However, compared to the male cultivators who felt ashamed of their appearance, the women looked at Bai Cang with much more intense and bolder gazes.
Some people even dared to communicate secretly and discuss it in secret.
Wow, this person is so good-looking!
"Not only is she good-looking, but she also has a great temperament and is highly gifted. She's practically a celestial being..."
"Only today do I realize what it means to have the bearing of a phoenix and the grace of a dragon. Yang Ruli has been somewhat ignorant of his own limitations."
"Elegant and handsome, like a celestial being descended to earth. If it were me, I would choose him too..."
Many female cultivators instantly changed their stance, with "Senior Brother Yang" becoming "Yang Ruli" in an instant, while also garnering countless complaints and belittling.
One by one, snow-white necks stretched out, their eyes fixed intently on Bai Cang, who stood opposite Ning Shuangrong.
Ning Shuangrong, who had been somewhat stunned, suddenly seemed to awaken some instinct. With a cold and warning look in her eyes, she glanced back, causing the female cultivators to fall silent in fear.
Then, like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest, she buried her face in Bai Cang's arms, whispering, "Bai Lang..."
"Snap!"
Bai Cang seemed to hear countless heartbreaks, and with a touch of wicked humor, he gently stroked Ning Shuangrong's crystal-clear, jade-like black hair.
Meanwhile, in the distance from the mountain gate, many Xuanmen prodigies, who had just been "expelled" from the Illusionary Realm, wanted to see what had happened.
Upon witnessing this scene, they were all dumbfounded, their hearts shattered into eight pieces!
