"Just as I thought!"
The Heavenly Book's reaction was not unexpected for Feng Bingwen. He was just trying it out and didn't have high expectations. After all, only Earth Immortals could create blessed lands, and not every Earth Immortal could possess a blessed land.
Only those earth immortals who have created blessed lands truly possess the foundation to establish their own sects and stand firmly in the world, because even if they perish, the blessed lands they created will exist for a long time, benefiting their disciples.
If we were to measure its value, even the most exceptional physique could not compare. The ability to fully tap into and unleash the potential inherent in one's physique is rare indeed.
However, blessed lands are different. With just a group of cultivators whose aptitude is not too bad, they can cultivate a core force capable of supporting the sect through the resources naturally nurtured by the blessed land. They can also enable a genius with sufficient talent to reach the peak he should have reached in a shorter time.
"Since this wish is excessive, I can only lower my expectations and settle for a less demanding one. I want a prototype of a blessed land that perfectly suits my needs!"
Feng Bingwen thought for a moment, lowered his demands, and made concessions. However, to his surprise, the Heavenly Book still ignored him. For all the major clans, blessed lands and grotto-heavens are the foundation for suppressing their fortune. It is enough for them to be unclaimed. Why should he be picky?
"...Damn it!"
"Junior brother, what's wrong? Are you injured?"
Seeing the Heavenly Book's reaction, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but curse. Upon hearing this, the Qingyuan Taoist riding the yellow ox looked at him with concern. In his eyes, Feng Bingwen was enveloped in a thick golden light, which shone brightly but was not dazzling.
Merit shines like golden light!
Although they were from the same sect, the reason he was so close to him was because of this thick golden light. Heaven knows how many good deeds this junior brother had done to accumulate such great merit. It's just that the karma was a bit too heavy, which was a little frightening.
"It's nothing. I just had a feeling that one of the little kids I've been eyeing has gotten into trouble!"
Feng Bingwen casually pushed the blame onto Wang Shu, who hadn't even formally become his disciple. Qingyuan Daoist didn't suspect anything; it was perfectly normal for a cultivator to possess divination and fortune-telling skills.
However, little did he know that Feng Bingwen hadn't had time to study divination techniques at all, and had just spoken off the cuff. But Feng Bingwen also didn't expect that the matter of his casually accusing his disciple had already become a fact.
"Junior brother has already accepted a disciple?"
The Taoist priest from Qingyuan was somewhat surprised.
"I didn't want to take on disciples so early. My own cultivation is not yet up to par. But I have met a talented person, and I am itching to do so."
Feng Bingwen explained with a smile that apart from her ordinary physique, Wang Shu was perfect in every other aspect. As long as one reaches a certain level, physical defects can be made up for during cultivation, and innate deficiencies can be corrected through training.
The Rivers and Mountains of the Five Dynasties
"If I have the chance, I'd like to meet your nephew, Junior Brother, and see what kind of talent he is that makes you willing to delay your cultivation to take him in!"
There will be an opportunity!
Feng Bingwen responded to the Dao, while at the same time his consciousness was immersed in the Heavenly Book, making a wish to the Heavenly Book for the third time.
"I want a blessed land, whether it's incomplete or in its early stages, as long as it can be considered a blessed land, I'll take it!"
Good deeds are limited, and one cannot demand too much. Feng Bingwen recognized this. This time, Tian Shu finally responded. The almost transparent crimson flame that had been burning faintly was extinguished, and in its place was a gilded flame that almost completely occupied Tian Ye.
Golden flames, like molten gold, danced and leaped on the leaves, but in return, the amount of good deeds recorded by Feng Bingwen began to decrease rapidly.
Feng Bingwen did not show any heartache on his face, but rather joy. The ignition of the golden flames meant that the Heavenly Book had responded to his prayer, and there was basically no need to worry about the Heavenly Book's actions.
Rumble—
Even far from the calamity clouds, thunder rumbled in the dark sky, and countless sea creatures fled in panic in the sea below, including many ancient species with extraordinary bloodlines.
"The Daoist's foundation is truly profound, far surpassing mine. It seems I have no hope of catching up in this lifetime!"
A Taoist priest who had also emerged from the shroud of the tribulation clouds gazed at the seemingly endless clouds that occupied half the sky and sighed softly, his voice filled with desolation.
"The purpose of spiritual practice is to attain a state of carefree ease. Why compete with others and unnecessarily fall into a lower realm?"
When the Taoist priest spoke, his voice was like a great bell, resounding and shaking the soul, awakening people to enlightenment.
“Senior brother is right, I was being too attached to appearances.”
The elegant Taoist priest, with three long wisps of beard beneath his chin, paused for a moment, then smiled, a carefree expression on his face.
"When you help Daozi transcend tribulation and become an immortal, I would like to trouble you, senior brother, to present this gift of gratitude on my behalf. I am deeply grateful and wish to go into seclusion, so I will not linger here any longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist waved his hand, and a beam of jade light flew toward the old farmer riding the ox. However, the Taoist Qingyuan pushed the beam away, and the light fell into the hand of Feng Bingwen, who was subconsciously using it, and it turned out to be a jade ruyi.
"This is Daozi's newly accepted disciple. Junior Brother, this is probably the first time you've met him. It's most appropriate to entrust him with the task of presenting the congratulatory gifts."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, my junior apprentice."
The Taoist priest was taken aback, then bowed respectfully to Feng Bingwen. He considered himself to be of the same generation as Zhao Junxian, even though the latter was about to undergo tribulation and become an immortal.
"It was just a small favor."
Feng Bingwen was in a great mood. Everything in front of him became beautiful. What he had previously found particularly terrifying, the thunderous tribulation lightning, now sounded so pleasant to him.
"Please go into seclusion, senior!"
...
"My mother is the seventh daughter of the city lord of Hibiscus City in the Floating Life Immortal Realm. How dare you harm me?"
A handsome, almost otherworldly man sat slumped on the ground, his magnificent golden crown hanging askew beside him. His shimmering fairy robes were torn in many places, and dust even flew up and clung to his smooth, white face, making him even angrier.
Don't you know who I am?
"A floating paradise?"
Upon hearing the name, the girl who made the move paused slightly, realizing she might have gotten herself into trouble. She quickly turned around and looked at the man and woman behind her, who were of different heights, and questioned them with her eyes.
"Never heard of him. Besides, he's just a concubine's son, a nobody. We can deal with him however we want, no need to hold back."
Upon hearing the name "Floating Life Immortal Realm," Xiong Cuiyue showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, remaining completely indifferent.
The Tyrant Bear clan, to which he was born, had already submitted to the human race. As vassals of the human race, they had long studied the powerful factions within the human race.
As the rising star and hope of the Tyrant Bear Clan, he had long since memorized the human forces that should not be provoked, and the Floating Immortal Realm was not among them.
They're probably just a third-rate human force, not worth paying any attention to. This guy may have a handsome appearance, but you can tell from his self-proclaimed identity that he's a bastard born of a concubine.
"What do you want to do? My father is the city lord of Furong City. You have already committed a serious crime by provoking me today. If you dare to hurt me again, my father will make you wish you were dead."
The young man, whose face was handsome and eerily beautiful, with a face like a peach blossom and a face as handsome as Pan An, had his voice become high-pitched, and his eyes showed not only deep-seated fear but also extreme anger.
Just like in the past ten years, he disregarded the filth of the mortal world and used his immortal body to comfort those lonely and miserable women in the mortal world, help them solve their problems, let them experience the wonders of the human world, and take them to wonderful places they had never been before.
But just moments ago, while he was enjoying himself with a beautiful woman and pursuing the ultimate bliss, he saw this little girl rush out with an angry expression.
The bodyguards his mother had assigned him were quickly taken down and dragged out. Caught completely off guard, he was nearly scared out of his wits.
"What's the City Lord of Furong City? My master is a true disciple of the Supreme Dao!"
Seeing this lewd man who used evil magic to bewitch mortal women and make love to them, and trying to intimidate her with her identity and background, Wang Shu did not back down and revealed her master's identity. However, what happened next surprised her.
What is the Supreme Dao?
The seventh young master of the fairyland Hibiscus City looked confused, then a fierce look appeared on his face.
"Even if your master is some kind of 'true disciple' of the Dao, you have no right to provoke me. Quickly confess your sins and cripple your cultivation. I, being of great kindness, may keep you by my side. After several years, I may bestow upon you the status of a concubine as a favor."
"You ignorant fool, you ant-like creature, how dare you covet Miss Wang!"
Such arrogant and domineering words enraged even the usually gentle and serene Five-Colored Deer Flower Morning Glory. She raised her slender hand and slapped it down, her seemingly delicate hand containing extremely terrifying power.
The young man, who had collapsed to the ground and was no match for even a little girl who had only been cultivating for a year, screamed in agony as his lower body turned into minced meat, mingling with the high-quality immortal robes. The shimmering light reflected the shattered flesh and bone fragments.
This bloody and terrifying scene not only failed to frighten Wang Shu, who was not yet ten years old, but also made her clap and cheer.
They happened to be traveling in this area. While sightseeing in the city, Wang Shu bumped into a very beautiful rich girl, but she sensed traces of magic on her, including a distortion of her mind and erasure of her memories.
The girl immediately became suspicious. She then wandered around the city, paying close attention to everything around her. Soon she discovered several other women with similar marks, all of whom were exceptionally beautiful, truly the most beautiful women among mortals.
Wang Shu immediately sensed that something was seriously wrong. She went to ask the local city god and earth god, but the gods who were worshipped by incense were mumbling and unable to say anything. In a fit of anger, she went to find the evil person who abused magic on mortals, and that's how the current situation came about.
She witnessed this strangely handsome man, disguised as a charming young nobleman, approaching a wealthy young lady who was out for a spring outing.
With his handsome appearance and his deliberately practiced tongue, he immediately amused the rich young lady, who then began to fall in love with him.
This lewd man used this as a medium to immediately perform evil magic, which greatly increased the young lady's affection for him. In just a few words, she abandoned her ladylike reserve and threw herself into his arms, flirting and teasing him.
Then this fellow became even more arrogant, actually waving away the surrounding servants and maids, and actually trying to do good deeds with the rich young lady in broad daylight. She was furious when she saw this, so she showed up and interrupted everything.
The evil man's servants appeared one after another, trying to stop him, but Uncle Xiong knocked them all to the ground with a single palm strike from a distance, leaving them unable to move.
She herself used magic to dispel the evil spell that interfered with the rich young lady's thinking, restoring her to her right mind, and then dragged the man out.
"You wretched servant, you're finished! When I return to Hibiscus City, I'll definitely tell my mother and have her send men to capture you. Once you're in my hands, I'll surely..."
His lower body was completely turned into minced meat. The Seventh Prince, who had never experienced such pain, screamed wildly, but he was still not afraid at all. He said that the Floating Life Immortal Realm he spoke of was the strongest force in the world, and everything else was not enough to match it.
Peng~
The foul language was so offensive that real spiritual fire burst from the eyes of the Five-Colored Deer Flower Morning Glory. However, before he could make a move, Xiong Cuiyue, who was standing to the side, became impatient and smashed the guy's head with a slap.
"So noisy!"
The incessant shouting stopped abruptly, and the three of them finally found peace. However, looking at the corpse that was now just a torso, Hua Chaoyan couldn't help but show a worried expression.
