"Master, quickly help your disciple suppress this broken wheel!"
Feeling as if his skull was about to crack open, Feng Bingwen flew into a rage, but instead of fighting back, he sought help from his master.
Because he had already rebelled in Lingbao Heaven, as soon as he entered, the broken wheel radiating five-colored light flew in front of him and then began to criticize him without any politeness.
He was described as having average talent, passable but barely useful, with a condescending attitude.
Feng Bingwen had just been appointed as a Dao Child. Although there was no grand investiture ceremony, he was still in high spirits and could not bear this. He immediately prepared to take action to suppress the celestial wheel that emitted five-colored divine light.
And that was it. The moment Feng Bingwen made his move, he was knocked down. His magical power was directly interfered with by the broken wheel after leaving his body, and he lost control of it, unable to form any effective spells or supernatural abilities.
With his magic power ineffective, Feng Bingwen threw a punch, and then heard the sound of his hand bones breaking. As a result, he had no choice but to give up the foolish idea of breaking a celestial artifact with his own physical strength.
In other words, Feng Bingwen was powerless against the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel that had taken the initiative to seek him out in the Lingbao Heaven. He could only let this celestial treasure, whose spirituality was incredibly high and which could even communicate with him like a human, follow him.
Feng Bingwen was naturally unhappy. The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel's personality was too much of a pain. It acted like a big shot and never said a kind word.
The newly appointed Daoist Master didn't want to suffer this humiliation, but there was nothing he could do. This guy had his eye on Feng Bingwen the moment he entered, which caused Feng Bingwen to encounter great obstacles when he wanted to seek other immortal treasures.
In the end, Feng Bingwen had no choice but to angrily bring out this celestial treasure.
"Greetings, Senior Jiuchuan!"
Ignoring his disciple's plea for help, Zhao Junxian instead bowed to the celestial wheel hovering above Feng Bingwen's head, whose exact appearance was obscured, only radiating thousands of auspicious rays and ten thousand divine lights.
"I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on, senior!"
"Is this kid your disciple?"
Zhao Junxian's polite and courteous demeanor did not elicit a reciprocal response; instead, a deep-seated, old-fashioned voice rang out from within the halo.
"Then you are a really bad teacher. You haven't taught your disciple well at all."
"Old man, you think you're so great? Do you know who my master's father is? He's none other than the current Supreme Daoist Xuanqing Immortal Lord! If you dare to be so impolite again, I'll report to the Immortal Lord and have you torn to pieces!"
Before Zhao Junxian could say anything, Feng Bingwen exploded, acting as if he was standing up for his master, and directly brought up the Immortal Lord in an attempt to suppress this spiritual treasure.
"You're that shameless son of Xuanqing, no wonder!"
Hearing Feng Bingwen's threat, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel was slightly surprised, but not frightened. Instead, a divine light extended from it and struck Feng Bingwen on the head, producing a crisp metallic clang.
"Kid, do you think I'm someone you can't be easily intimidated?"
"Don't be rude!"
Not only was this magical artifact grumbling, but even Zhao Junxian joined in the scolding, making Feng Bingwen feel extremely awkward.
He never imagined that he would one day be bullied by a magical artifact, and the worst part was that he couldn't even defeat it.
"Master, it's not that I'm ungrateful, it's just that this guy has gone too far!"
Feng Bingwen didn't consider himself a cultivator with an excessive desire for control, but he wouldn't care for a magical artifact that was being used against him, even if it was a spiritual treasure.
"Is it really impossible to change it?"
"Before you went to Lingbao Heaven, I asked you repeatedly, and you gave me an affirmative answer. Now you want to back out? It's too late!"
Zhao Junxian ruthlessly rejected Feng Bingwen's request.
"Kid, do you really think you can pick and choose just because you've entered Lingbao Heaven? You're mistaken. It's not you who chooses, it's us old guys who choose you. Whoever takes a liking to you will follow you and become your protector."
An aged voice descended from above. The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel had been hanging behind Feng Bingwen's head, and if it weren't for the occasional tapping on him, it would have added a lot to his aura.
"You're lucky. Your physique suits my taste, so I'll stay with you until you become an immortal. Don't even think about changing it. In this Spirit Treasure Heaven, there's no immortal treasure stronger than mine."
"..."
Feng Bingwen's face darkened slightly; upon closer examination, this was something he had brought upon himself.
Moreover, if we ignore the words of the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel, the Supreme Dao's arrangement is quite ingenious.
When a Daoist represents the sect behind him, he will inevitably be targeted by those with ulterior motives when he travels outside, and sometimes he may even face life-threatening dangers. Other sects can arrange for powerful figures to hide by his side and follow and protect him.
However, the number of disciples of the Supreme Dao is dwindling, and they do not receive such treatment. But their foundation is profound, and they can send a magical artifact to accompany their disciples, thus fulfilling the duties of protectors of the Dao.
If this matter had nothing to do with him, Feng Bingwen might even have praised the Daoist Master for coming up with such an arrangement.
But he just happened to be the Supreme Daoist, and he was targeted by a spirit treasure with a terrible temper and a very high seniority, which made his experience extremely bad.
“Senior Jiuchuan is right. There is indeed no immortal treasure stronger than the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel in Lingbao Heaven. You are quite fortunate to have been chosen by Senior Jiuchuan!”
"Good fortune?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen had a sudden inspiration, and a part of his consciousness immediately fell on the Heavenly Book, which he hadn't paid attention to for a long time. He even suspected that this Five Elements Heavenly Wheel might have come looking for him because the Heavenly Book was acting strangely.
However, once Feng Bingwen saw the amounts of good and evil deeds listed in the Heavenly Book, he immediately dismissed such thoughts.
Name: Feng Bingwen
Good deeds: Thirty-one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two ( )
Misdeeds: 7,326 (7326)
Clearly, neither good deeds nor evil deeds had spontaneously combusted. During this time, the Heavenly Book had been behaving itself well and had not caused any trouble. In other words, the descent of the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel was something it brought upon itself.
"Hmph, you're the only one who understands things. It's a pity that the disciple you took in is so ignorant."
Wu Xing Tian Lun was in a great mood, praising Zhao Junxian repeatedly, but he didn't speak well of Feng Bingwen.
"He is still too young and has not been cultivating for long. Please forgive him, senior."
"Of course, I'm a magnanimous person and won't stoop to the level of this kid."
"..."
Feng Bingwen was speechless. His master was in cahoots with this guardian immortal treasure, so what else could he say?
“You wicked disciple, come here, I have something to say to you.”
At this moment, Zhao Junxian waved to Feng Bingwen. Feng Bingwen glanced at him, didn't say anything, but after thinking for a moment, he still walked towards him.
As soon as he moved, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel hanging behind him also moved. At this moment, Zhao Junxian bowed slightly, put his hands together, and placed his ten fingers on top of each other, bowing to the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel.
"Senior, I have something I'd like to discuss with my disciple privately. Could you please wait here for a moment?"
"Heh, I thought you were an honest guy, but I didn't expect you to be a scoundrel too. You little rascals, do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
The halo suspended in the air let out a sneer. However, despite its rude attitude, the celestial treasure probably respected its status and did not continue to follow Feng Bingwen.
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhao Junxian remained unmoved by the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel's hostile attitude. After bowing in gratitude once more, he swept his sleeves and, with Feng Bingwen in torn through the void, descended upon the blessed land under his control.
"This is the blessed land of Zhaoyang that I govern!"
When Feng Bingwen asked, Zhao Junxian took the initiative to introduce them.
"That's great!"
Feng Bingwen glanced at the scene before him, his tone full of envy. This was far superior to his youthful version of the blessed land.
The view is of a clear lake, with bamboo groves swaying in the wind nearby and secluded paths appearing and disappearing. In the distance, there is a vast marshland, towering mountains, majestic peaks reaching into the clouds, and magnificent waterfalls cascading down, creating a diverse and beautiful landscape.
"When you reach my level of cultivation, you will naturally have such a blessed place, or even better. There is no need to envy it. Just focus on your cultivation."
"Master, you didn't bring me here just to say this, did you?"
A glimmer of hope shone in Feng Bingwen's eyes. His master still cared about him and had even deliberately set aside the magical artifact to bring him to the blessed land.
"Of course not."
Seeing Feng Bingwen's excited expression, Zhao Junxian was the first to pour cold water on his enthusiasm.
"Don't expect me to replace that Five Elements Heavenly Wheel for you; I'm not qualified."
"Master, if you can't do it, isn't there still Immortal Lord Xuanqing?"
Do you think my father will get involved in this?
"Probably not!"
Feng Bingwen hesitated for a moment, then answered helplessly.
"The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel was forged by a celestial being. However, when this celestial being was forging this immortal artifact, he was already in his twilight years. Therefore, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel is different from ordinary immortal artifacts. Even ordinary earth immortals would find it difficult to operate it freely."
"Wait a minute, a celestial being? In her twilight years?"
Feng Bingwen's focus immediately changed.
"Shouldn't celestial beings be immortal? How can they grow old?"
"The Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man: If one can overcome them, one will live forever; if one cannot overcome them, one will die of old age. Even celestial beings cannot defy them!"
Zhao Junxian explained the basic knowledge of high-level cultivators to his disciples.
"Even celestial beings cannot achieve immortality!"
The news shocked Feng Bingwen far more than being entangled with a magical artifact; it directly disrupted his long-term plans for the future.
"What are you thinking? Of course not!"
"What level of cultivation is required to achieve immortality?"
"Above the Celestial Immortal!"
"What level is that?"
You don't need to know that much.
Zhao Junxian remained silent, offering no answer to Feng Bingwen's question. It was too far in the future, both for his disciple and for him personally.
"The spirit nurtured within the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel has a rather unpleasant temperament. You should be patient with it for now. It won't stay with you forever, but once you reach a higher level of cultivation, it will naturally return to the Spirit Treasure Heaven."
"If I cultivate to a higher realm, would I still allow him to return to Lingbao Heaven?"
Upon hearing his master's words of comfort, Feng Bingwen responded with a cold laugh.
What do you want to do?
“Of course we’ll refine him. A magic weapon should look like a magic weapon. Didn’t he call himself my grandpa?”
When my cultivation level is high enough, I will become his master. I can make him chase dogs, and he won't be able to catch chickens. I can make him go east, and he won't go west.
Feng Bingwen's face was full of hatred. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, while a cultivator can take revenge even after a hundred years.
"...I don't think it's necessary for me to bring you to Zhaoyang Temple to say all this. Just keep this mindset!"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's words, Zhao Junxian knew that his worries were unnecessary. His disciple was actually a person who was good at enduring hardship. However, he was still worried and gave him a few more instructions.
"Avoid conflict with him. You can ask him for advice when the time is right. It is not a magic weapon made by me, the Supreme Immortal, but originated from other celestial beings."
He also knows many ancient and secret texts; you can ask him questions when the time is right. You might gain some unexpected insights that could benefit your cultivation.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
Feng Bingwen immediately understood that this celestial treasure was not just a simple celestial treasure. While serving as a protector of the Dao, it was also a large, mobile treasure trove of Daoist artifacts. As for how many treasures he could extract from it, that was up to him.
"Go ahead, you should know what you're doing!"
Zhao Junxian waved his sleeve, and Feng Bingwen felt an indescribable force fall on him. He was instantly dizzy, but when he focused his mind, he found himself back where he was, with the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel hanging not far away.
"Kid, what did your master whisper to you when he sent you into this blessed land? Tell me about it."
The celestial wheel, radiating a dazzling divine light and whose details were difficult to discern, floated not far from Feng Bingwen. Its tone was anything but polite, as if it regarded Feng Bingwen as an elder. If one did not see the scene before them, they would really think that an old man was talking to his grandson.
"It's nothing important. My master is just telling me to be more respectful to my seniors."
Feng Bingwen suppressed the urge to clench his fists. There was nothing he could do; he simply couldn't defeat this magical treasure. Even though it didn't have a master controlling it, it could still draw spiritual energy from the world at will.
"That makes sense, kid. You're too young. Listen to your master more. That's right, be more respectful to me, treat me like your ancestor, and you'll get your share of the benefits."
"Would you like me to light some incense for you?"
Feng Bingwen asked expressionlessly. He had changed his mind. When his cultivation was sufficient, he would definitely melt this broken wheel.
"To offer incense?"
“My parents were ordinary people, and now my ancestors’ graves are covered with forests.”
"That's not necessary."
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel paid no heed to Feng Bingwen's sarcastic tone, or perhaps it didn't believe Feng Bingwen was being sarcastic towards it; it hovered behind Feng Bingwen's head.
"Just be nicer."
"Senior Jiuchuan, I would like to ask if you could tone it down a bit? You're making me too conspicuous when I'm out."
The Fairy Tree Romance
"trouble!"
Upon hearing a shout, Feng Bingwen felt a chill run down his spine, only to find that the celestial wheel that had made him appear so radiant behind him was gone.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the celestial treasure had already entered his sea of consciousness, high above, like the sun in the sky, illuminating the void of his sea of consciousness, and even reflecting a hazy, indistinct human figure.
"Kid, your Dao physique isn't something you were born with. Interesting. Which old guy set this up as a backup plan? Let me see!"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel entered Feng Bingwen's sea of consciousness and immediately discovered something amiss, sensing that something was wrong with Feng Bingwen.
Clang~
After only a brief silence, a crisp metallic clanging sound rang out. Feng Bingwen's divine sense was focused on the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel, and he could clearly observe that the spiritual treasure trembled slightly, as if it had been struck by an invisible hand.
"You little brat..."
Clang~
With another crisp tapping sound, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel fell completely silent, its brilliant light dimming considerably.
"Tsk, curiosity killed the cat!"
A gloating smile appeared on Feng Bingwen's face. There were indeed many things about him that were not right, but having the ability to see them did not mean that he was qualified to explore the secrets behind them.
This is equivalent to voluntarily putting your head under the boss's control. If the boss doesn't like you, he can slap you and whether you live or die depends entirely on his mood.
"Uncle Jiuchuan, are you alright?"
Feng Bingwen tentatively asked a question with his divine sense, but received no response.
"You brat from Jiuchuan!"
The oblivious young Taoist priest probed again, but still received no response.
"Xiao Jiuchuan?"
"Small wheels?"
"A small, broken-down car?"
After several attempts to get a response, with increasingly outrageous terms of address, Feng Bingwen finally fell silent. Seeing that the immortal treasure who had been demanding to be his master and enjoy ancestral treatment had completely fallen silent, Feng Bingwen felt a surge of joy and returned to the Zhanmeng Islands with a relaxed expression.
He did not retreat into seclusion. After confirming that nothing had happened in his cave, he stepped onto the teleportation array inside the mountain gate. He first went to Donghua Continent to find the junior disciple he had taken in. After explaining the matter, he went to Nanzhan Continent again.
When Feng Bingwen, the Supreme Daoist, descended upon Nanzhanzhou, he was extremely low-key. There were no grand phenomena, only a pillar of light descending from the sky. After the pillar of light dissipated, the figure of a handsome and masculine young Daoist was revealed.
Of course, this so-called low profile is relative to his current status. Such a scene is already terrifying enough for ordinary cultivators. So when Feng Bingwen appeared, several streaks of light appeared in the sky and flew towards Feng Bingwen's location.
"Yuan Dan Realm!"
The cultivators who were patrolling the border were startled when they noticed the aura that Feng Bingwen inadvertently revealed. They quickly bowed in respect.
"Greetings, senior!"
"I am a disciple of the Supreme Daoist sect, and I have come here to find Yi Canglan. Do you know where my friend is now?"
---Aside---
I'll definitely make 6,000 tomorrow!
