I Really Am the Mastermind

Why are there monstrous waves on the Yellow River, and roaring dragons and snakes?

Why is there a golden light stretching ten thousand feet on the peak of Kunlun, and a heavenly palace faintl...

Chapter 61 The Cave Will Open

In the study, on the azure blue projection page, Wen Zhengming skillfully returned to the main menu and entered the map editing page.

Now, he wants to add special effects to the mountain gates of the five Taoist sects.

"How can there be no strange phenomena at the mountain gate where the cave is about to descend? Let me give you a buff!"

Wen Zhengming skillfully edited the map and added special effects to places where Taoist sects descended, such as Longhu Mountain, Gezhao Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Xishan Mountain, and Zhongnan Mountain.

………

In the distance, Wang Miao, who had just been sent down the mountain by the Taoist priest of Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, suddenly discovered a golden light suddenly appeared on Zhongnan Mountain.

It was like a golden veil covering Mount Zhongnan. In the distance, above Chongyang Palace, a mountain could be vaguely seen appearing in the air.

The pavilions and temples on the mountain seem to be in a completely different world from the secular world.

But the illusory palace seemed to be about to descend.

"Is this the cave heaven that the Taoist priest mentioned?"

Since Wang Miao came to Chongyang Palace, he naturally checked out these rumored paradises.

However, the cave he saw before his eyes now seemed very different from the cave he had imagined.

"Wow, it looks like there is a small world above Chongyang Palace."

Wang Miao raised his head and said in amazement.

"Is this really a small world? Is this considered space technology?"

Folding space to form a small world requires a huge project.

What’s even more terrifying is that I wonder how many years ago these extraordinary people were able to do this?

Wang Miao was so shocked that he didn't even notice how he walked down the mountain.

Back in the SUV parked beside Changbai Highway, Wang Miao opened his phone and entered the Spiritual Energy Recovery Forum to see if anyone on the forum had noticed this scene.

“It turned out that other speculated places also happened.”

It is clearly stated on the Spiritual Energy Revival forum that the strange phenomena are now appearing far beyond Mount Zhongnan, and can also be found in places such as Mount Maoshan and Mount Longhushan that were previously speculated.

In other words, all the famous mountains and rivers that may be hiding the five Taoist sects have experienced strange phenomena.

"So the five Taoist sects are all coming?"

Wang Miao opened several related pages in succession and started reading.

However, he discovered that he was not the first person to climb these famous mountains and rivers to see the real person. Someone had already posted a post about the advent of the cave heaven on the Spiritual Energy Revival forum.

He said that he had seen extraordinary people on Mount Maoshan, but had not succeeded in his pursuit of the Tao. The Taoist priest named Zhuoqiu said that the matter of opening the mountain gate and accepting disciples would have to wait for the head of Mount Maoshan to come out in fifteen days.

"Sure enough, the five Taoist sects should all be born soon."

Wang Miao couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He had originally thought that he was the only one who knew that the cave heaven would descend in fifteen days.

But now everyone in the Spiritual Revival forum knows about it, which means that everyone knows about it.

By then, will he still be able to join the mountain sect?

It is said that when the Third Division of the Ministry of War in Yucheng, Daming, was recruiting people, the probability of rejection was extremely high.

If this was also the case with Taoism, then he would not have the confidence to stand out from a selection probability of less than 4/1000.

Thinking of this, Wang Miao couldn't help but look at the Chongyang Palace where he had just come down.

He suddenly remembered a post he had seen on the Aura Revival forum, which said:

The beginning of every change is accompanied by the rise of countless geniuses who seize the opportunity. The revival of spiritual energy now is a major change that has not been seen in hundreds of years. In this era, there are bound to be countless names as dazzling as stars engraved in human history.

Mediocrity and excellence are just a decision.

"No, I'll go up again tonight and beg the real person to give me a chance. If I miss this opportunity, it might be a lifetime thing."

Wang Miao looked at the setting sun over the distant mountains and made a decision.

At three o'clock in the morning, he turned on the night light and crawled back.

"Why did you come back again?"

Just after climbing over the mountain, a voice rang in his ears, scaring Wang Miao so much that he staggered and almost fell down again.

Wang Miao turned on the searchlight above his head.

I saw in front of me the Taoist priest who was preaching in front of Chongyang Temple.

Wang Miao scratched his head and said, "Master, after thinking it over, I really want to join the mountain gate, so I climbed back."

He knew very well that his chance lay with the Taoist priest in front of him, otherwise he would have to squeeze out the probability of less than 0.4%.

Be sure to seize any back door you can.

Otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.

The Taoist shook his head upon hearing this and said softly, "Layman, I have already said that I cannot make the decision on this matter."

"Master, I just want to ask, do I have the qualifications to practice Taoism?"

Wang Miao looked eagerly, hoping that the Taoist priest in front of him could say the word "yes", but he was disappointed.

"The layman does not have the qualifications at the moment."

Wang Miao felt empty inside after hearing this. He said with a last glimmer of hope:

"What is not available now? If it is not available now, will it be available in the future?"

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest said:

"Talents are different for everyone. Some are born with them, some acquire them after sudden enlightenment, and some are just blessed with great fortune, receiving help from masters, and undergoing the process of changing tendons and cleansing marrow, thus acquiring the aptitude to cultivate the Dao."

“Is it possible for me to have an epiphany?”

Wang Miao said hurriedly.

The Taoist shook his head and said, "I don't know. Some people can achieve enlightenment at the age of ten, some at the age of thirty, and some at the age of eighty."

Octogenarian?

Isn't that more than ninety?

What the hell is the point of repairing the road?

I'm about to die.

Wang Miao felt a chill in his heart. He had already heard that the Taoist priest meant that he probably had no chance, but Wang Miao was not willing to give up.

This Taoist priest is very easy to talk to. If he could help me, maybe there would still be a chance.

"Then who in this world can change tendons and cleanse marrow?"

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest said kindly, "It is said that immortals can do it, but I have never seen it. The only person in this world who has ever made a mortal change his tendons and cleanse his marrow is Bai Xiaosheng back then."

"Bai Xiaosheng?"

Wang Miao just felt that the name was very familiar. The next moment, he suddenly came to his senses and remembered that the list seemed to be compiled by a man named Bai Xiaosheng.

Isn’t that an extraordinary person from the Ming Dynasty?

Wang Miao raised his head and asked, "Master, is this Bai Xiaosheng very powerful?"

The Taoist said with a yearning tone: "That is a legend. No one knows what realm this senior is in, but it is conservatively estimated that he is at least an immortal."

"Immortal!"

Wang Miao couldn't help but be amazed that there was actually an immortal behind Daming.

The Ming Dynasty is indeed as powerful as what is said on the forum!

"How powerful is the Immortal?"

"The immortals are immortal, they can create caves and heavens, and they can travel across the void. This is something that I cannot fathom."

"Then I guess I won't have the chance to meet that know-it-all."

Wang Miao still has self-knowledge. How can he get Daming to persuade an immortal to perform the Yi Jin and Xi Sui ritual for him?

Don't I have any chance at all?

Wang Miao seemed to see a chasm that was deeper than the gap between rich and poor, separating mortals from ascetics, but he was on the side of the mortals.

"But in fact, you may have a chance. Rumor has it that this senior once refined a kind of elixir that can make people without qualifications have qualifications. This elixir was not used up that year and is still in the world."

The middle-aged Taoist priest's voice once again gave Wang Miao a glimmer of hope.

"Master, do you know where this elixir is?"

"I don't know, but if you are interested, you can go and look for it. This elixir is neither gold nor jade. It melts in your mouth. If someone puts it in wine, it can keep you awake forever."

Wang Miao's mind became active after hearing this.

This is probably his only chance.

What he didn't know was that this was a pill that someone had just edited in order to make up the number.

It has only one effect, which is to give people the identity of the player.
