"Useless snack!"
"Look at Xiaobai, and then look at yourself. How can you have the nerve to say that?"
Without even showing his face, Tianhe Zhenjun had already displayed his contempt to the fullest extent: "We both practice the Five Elements Yin Magic, but look at what you're practicing?"
"Even if you don't refine the five spirits to create all things, at least forge a five-element Dao body for me and walk a dignified and righteous path, right?"
"Being too eager for quick success and instant benefits, not only did he condense a worthless high-grade Dao foundation, but he also only forged a Five Elements Yin Demon Body. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out!"
"From now on, when you go out, don't say you're my apprentice. You'll lose face like that!"
With just one voice, the emotions of "stern and stern", "disappointment" and "disdain" were expressed vividly.
If others heard this, they would probably roll their eyes and angrily retort: "Are you even human?"
Even among the major sects of the Xuanmen, those with a superior Dao Foundation are absolutely pillars of talent and geniuses. Many true disciples of the Xuanmen may not be able to condense a superior Dao Foundation.
However, in the words of True Lord Tianhe, even a high-grade Dao Foundation cultivator only received the title of "waste".
Furthermore, he was critical of the Dao Body that Han Qinhu had forged, believing that such a high-grade Dao Foundation was not worthy of being his disciple and that it would be shameful to say it out loud.
What a Versailles this is! It's utterly inhuman!
However, none of the people present, including Han Qinhu, felt there was anything wrong with it.
Bai Cang nodded repeatedly, as if to say: What kind of trash is the Five Elements Yin Demon Body? It's only good for condensing a high-grade Dao Foundation.
Completely unaware that he was now only a "superior foundational cultivator".
Even among superior Dao foundations, there are differences!
Even if one only cultivates the "Five Elements Yin Magic", one can switch to cultivating the "Five Elements", "Yin Yang", "Taiyin", "Five Thunder" and other paths, instead of being trapped in the "Path of Yin Demons".
From this perspective, Han Qinhu can be said to have chosen the worst option among many choices.
No wonder Tianhe Zhenjun scolded him as a "worthless piece of trash," and even Bai Cang agreed with him.
However, although Han Qinhu agrees with the view that "he is a piece of trash," he is not "unable to explain himself."
He pressed his forehead firmly to the ground and said in a bitter voice, "My disciple is dull-witted and sees no hope of making any further progress."
"Besides, how can I just stand by and watch my master's legacy crumble?"
However, his reasoning clearly failed to convince Tianhe Zhenjun.
Are you questioning my judgment in choosing my apprentices?
Tianhe Zhenjun snorted coldly and said, "Foolish, short-sighted, ignorant, and self-righteous."
"So what if the Heshan Sect is destroyed? Will it have the slightest impact on me as a teacher?"
"Now that I have escaped my tribulation, I will surely attain the Dao and the Primordial Spirit within twenty to fifty years."
"If you were to condense a top-grade Dao foundation and attain a perfect Dao path, you wouldn't be entirely without a chance of becoming a Nascent Soul in the future. Yet you are so short-sighted and foolish, cutting off your own Dao path, and still have the nerve to spout nonsense here?"
Upon hearing this, Han Qinhu trembled violently, lowered his body, and dared not utter another word.
Bai Cang was so shocked that he felt numb inside and out, followed by indescribable ecstasy and a belated realization.
No wonder he always felt that this whole affair was strange; it turned out that they had unknowingly entered a period of doom.
To be precise: it should be said that it was affected by the "human calamity" caused by the Heavenly River True Lord!
Even the slightest aftershock has swept across the nine kingdoms of Lanyun, changing the fate of countless people.
It's hard to say whether Bai Cang's recent "endless opportunities" and "rapid progress" were also due to being in a calamity, which can be said to be riding on the coattails of Tianhe Zhenjun, no, now it should be said that he was riding on the coattails of Tianhe Zunzhe.
However, this favorable wind was not so easy to ride. Countless Qi Refining cultivators and Dao Foundation Real Persons perished in this calamity.
Leaving aside distant examples, within the Xia Kingdom's Heshan Sect alone, figures like Zhao Yunlong and Li Chunfeng, who were the true disciples of the main sect, as well as Dao Foundation Real Persons like Xiao Wangwu and Qian, were reduced to ashes in the calamity.
The most wronged was Zhou Ganzheng, who fell on the eve of "victory" and was brutally killed by Bai Cang simply because of "ineffective teaching".
The fact that Fang Baoliu, Yao Chonggu, and others successively condensed their Dao foundations may not have been entirely unrelated to the catalytic effect of the calamity energy.
In short: it's all about timing and fate!
For Bai Cang, the most important thing is: I have made my sect proud!
I thought that Tianhe Zhenjun was already a great backer, but I didn't expect that he would "evolve" on his own. In fact, the speed of his "evolution" was even faster than the speed of sweet Lao Han's "leveling up". In the blink of an eye, he upgraded from "Tianhe Zhenjun" to "Tianhe Zunzhe", and in the near future, he will be upgraded to "Tianhe Daojun".
How can the disciples and grand-disciples of the True Lord be as powerful as those of the Dao Lord?
"The Great Way is to follow one path alone. Laughing first does not mean you have won. There are many who are only halfway there after traveling a hundred miles, and you are no different."
Venerable Tianhe said calmly, "Now tell me, do you regret it?"
Upon hearing this, Han Qinhu raised his head slightly and said firmly, "Disciple has no regrets!"
"A person should know his own limitations. I know my own abilities are limited to this level. Forcing myself to pursue things that are out of reach is like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree or trying to catch the moon's reflection in water, which will only waste my time."
"Moreover, the struggle for the Great Dao is not something that can be entrusted to others. Whether the teacher is a Golden Core cultivator or a Dao Lord, in the end, he cannot guide the disciple's cultivation. Why should there be any regrets?"
"Your disciple has disgraced you, Master! I am guilty! But I have no regrets. Please punish me, Master!"
"You...good, good, good!"
Venerable Tianhe was speechless with anger. He said "Fine" three times, and then said, "Enough, enough. It seems that our master-disciple relationship has come to an end. Let us part ways here!"
Upon hearing this, Han Qinhu turned pale and trembled like a leaf, but he gritted his teeth and refused to admit his mistake.
Bai Cang, however, grabbed a handful of grass: "I'll lead you in the fight! Old Han, what exactly do you mean by this?"
I finally found a powerful backer, and this is our first meeting, and you pull this stunt on me?
It's one thing for you master and disciple to turn against each other, but don't be so sweet that you've lost my "Daoist Ancestor"!
Would it kill you to sweetly admit your mistake and lower your head? I see you're quite skilled at sliding on your knees.
At this moment, Bai Cang was extremely anxious, wishing he could hold Han Qinhu's head down and kowtow to his "Grandmaster" a hundred times.
Whether you live or die is irrelevant, the important thing is not to interfere with my path to enlightenment!
"Teacher, take care! Your unfilial disciple... will be unable to serve you from now on. I can only look towards the Heavenly River Temple and wish you a swift success in your immortal journey!"
Bai Cang roared furiously in his heart, but Han Qinhu stiffened his neck and said these words in a trembling voice.
Then he kowtowed three times and tried to get up and leave.
"What are you dreaming of? You think you can leave so easily after you've joined my ranks?"
"Under my tutelage, there are only disciples who died young, not traitors who broke the sect!"
Venerable Tianhe sneered repeatedly, "Although our master-disciple relationship has ended, you will still have to use your worthless life to bear a karmic burden for me."
"You like the Heshan Cult, right? From now on, this piece of junk is yours."
"Whenever you advance to the Golden Core stage, the Heshan Sect will be renamed the Zhushan Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Han Qinhu suddenly looked up, his face full of surprise, "Teacher, I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Get over here and go into seclusion!"
"You'll emerge from seclusion when you've mastered the Five Elements Yin Sha Earthly Extreme True Fire. If you fail, you'd better die at the Heavenly River Temple to save me from further embarrassment!"
With a loud shout, the doors of the main hall were flung open.
Like a dark, deep abyss, it instantly absorbed Han Qinhu's figure.
Only Bai Cang remained kneeling in the square in front of the palace, completely dumbfounded.
Where is my master? Where is my great master?
Most importantly: I, the sweet one, haven't even gotten on the bus yet!
