Seeing this scene.
The Taoist priest broke out in a cold sweat.
He wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Bai Cang might accidentally kill the "Four Swords of Taibai" on the spot.
After all, Bai Cang had no ties and was naturally fearless, acting in a very free-spirited manner.
However, Fangcun Mountain is a large and powerful family, and they are most afraid of being splattered with blood.
Most importantly, he still cannot do without the title of "Master of Fangcun Mountain" to suppress the resistance of "Taixu Illusionary Realm".
Without the blessing of Fangcun Mountain's fortune, how could he have so easily controlled the "Illusory Realm of the Great Void" and then worn down the magical treasures within it, replacing them with his own true spirit?
However, the Taoist Master Zhenru was not very confident about directly offering to protect the "Four Swords of Taibai" or confronting Bai Cang directly.
So he could only offer a half-hearted "praise": "Fellow Daoist is not afraid of the powerful and has a courage that amazes the heavens. I admire you greatly."
From this day forward, it is estimated that all people in this world will address him as "Lord of the Great Dao"!
Among the Primordial Spirit Dao Lords, those who dominate an era and have the potential to merge with the Dao can be called "Great Dao Lords".
Generally speaking, only those who have survived the nine tribulations and avoided the three calamities can have this honor and have the word "Great" added to their title.
However, this is not absolute. In most cases, battle records are still needed as evidence to convince the contemporaries.
For example, the True Daoist, who was also a Perfect Dao Lord, had few battle achievements to his name, and even his true cultivation level was little known to the world.
Therefore, virtually no one would add the word "great" to the title "True Dao Lord" to show respect.
For example, someone like Bai Cang, although he did not reach the level of a perfect Dao Lord, still displayed overwhelming and awe-inspiring power, and would most likely be revered as a "Great Dao Lord".
In short: The Great Dao Lord is invincible at the Primordial Spirit stage and is regarded as a "future Golden Immortal".
Surely no one would think that with Bai Cang's terrifying battle record and such a brave and diligent momentum, he would stop at the Yuan Shen Dao Jun realm and have no hope of advancing to the He Dao Jin Xian realm.
However, if the Taoist priest really mentioned this matter, it couldn't possibly be to praise or flatter Bai Cang.
This is just a superficial excuse; at most, it's just a matter of adding layers of armor.
The true meaning that the Taoist priest wanted to express is all in the first half of the sentence.
As the saying goes: to judge a person, look at their heart; to listen to what they say, listen to the underlying meaning.
What kind of person is Bai Cang?
His heart is black, his body is covered in grease; he's a cunning old fox at such a young age.
Naturally, they understood perfectly, just as the Taoist implied.
"What kind of audacity do I have? I'm just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
Bai Cang then chuckled and said, "In my life, all I have ever done is to bully the weak, assess the situation, and seek good fortune while avoiding misfortune."
"You're afraid of that guy from the Taibai Sword Sect, but do you think I'm not?"
As he spoke, Bai Cang gently unfurled his sleeve in the wind, using the technique of "Universe in the Sleeve" to envelop the Taiji Dao Diagram that sealed the "Four Swords of Taibai" in one sleeve.
Then, he bowed to the sky, and saw a scroll floating in the mysterious high space-time, disappearing without a trace.
As for casually casting a time-extending spell on them to lengthen the perceived time of the "Four Swords of Taibai" and taking the opportunity to teach them a profound lesson, that was a trivial matter.
Bai Cang estimated that Daoist Yujing probably wouldn't care and wouldn't hold a grudge against him.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was just looking for an angle to further embellish his own image and give Bai Cang a good compliment.
But then Bai Cang said calmly, "I have three treasures, which I cherish: first, cowardice; second, humility; and third, never forgive others when you have the upper hand."
If anyone has ever bullied me, if I am strong, I will exterminate their entire family; if I am weak, I will assess the situation, hold a grudge, and wait until I am strong and the enemy is weak before using ruthless methods to exterminate their entire family and torture them in every way possible, making them wish they were dead.
As he spoke, Bai Cang looked at Daoist Zhenru with a half-smile, conjured a scroll in his hand, and handed it over with a smile. “I have a scroll of ‘The Book of Stability’ which I can give to you, senior, to admonish your disciples. It will surely ensure the eternal foundation and prosperity of Fangcun Mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhenru broke out in a cold sweat and absentmindedly accepted the book that Bai Cang handed him.
On the cover, three large characters were prominently displayed: "The Classic of Stability".
As soon as the Taoist priest received it, he felt a folk song resound in his heart.
"Those who come and go should not concern themselves with trivial matters; the path to immortality is difficult, so do not strive to be first."
When faced with injustice, think of self-reliance; when encountering difficulties, reflect on your own actions.
If you have many friends, you can avoid trouble; if you have few friends, you can avoid unexpected disasters.
Do not stand against the enemy, for standing against them will surely lead to danger; strike first, and you will be reduced to ashes.
Do not be arrogant, do not be afraid, if everything is stable, you can find peace.
If you take a wrong turn, you can retreat or advance; if you seize an opportunity, you can plan and make a decision.
Gods, demons, and monsters—though they may be weak, their power defies the heavens; there is nothing they can do.
As for us, we have avoided bad luck, found our way to immortality, and attained the fruits of enlightenment.
If you act prudently, reject cause and effect, avoid coercion, you will find joy in yourself.
To avoid natural disasters, change is necessary; to avoid man-made calamities, leave no room for error.
"Having heard the Dao in the morning, one understands the path to immortality; the principle of 'steadiness' remains by one's side."
"These words are indeed profound, though seemingly simple."
The Taoist priest was startled and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist is truly a sincere gentleman!"
I have actually deceived you, fellow Daoist; I truly deserve to die. There is something I must tell you honestly, otherwise I will be utterly ashamed!
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise, and said, "I regard you as my father-in-law, yet you still have things to hide from me?"
This expression of utter shock and grief is incredibly genuine.
If it weren't for the fact that he had just given me a thorough dressing-down using both soft and hard tactics, coercion and enticement.
The Taoist priest almost believed it.
"This matter is not important. Perhaps it was just my oversight, and I did not mean to deceive you."
The Taoist priest broke out in a cold sweat. "Didn't I once tell you about the origin of the master who defeated the patriarch in a magical duel? Actually, there's something else I haven't mentioned."
The original Doufa Shengzu Masters were the first generation of human race in the Suigu Era, totaling twenty-seven, and were revered as the Twenty-Seven Ancestors. They were granted seventy-two paths of divine and demonic true teachings by Nuwa and Huang, all of which led to the attainment of the Great Dao.
Therefore, he was resented by the Seven Phoenixes, who then placed the twenty-seven ancestors on the Yang God List.
Only the Master of Fighting Magic managed to break free, but he didn't leave. Instead, he fought a duel with Seven Phoenixes before finally managing to escape unscathed.
From then on, Qi Huang refused to pass on the Seventy-Two Paths of Divine and Demonic Transmission to anyone else. Instead, she divided it in two, leaving one half in the Divine Sect and the Demonic Gate, which became known as the Thirty-Six Divine and Demonic Techniques, and the other half in the Netherworld.
At the end of the Suigu era, another branch of the Doufa Sheng Ancestor's school, called the "Tianhe Sword Sect," produced an earth-shattering figure who seized the opportunity for the Seven Phoenixes to transcend, attained supreme enlightenment, and departed, remaining a taboo to this day.
Therefore, the relationship between the Victorious Ancestor and the Seven Phoenixes is rather delicate. What I said earlier was slightly biased, and it was by no means an intentional deception. I hope you, fellow Daoist, will understand!
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang felt as if struck by lightning, and had no mind to listen to the explanation that the Taoist Zhenru would give later.
"So, I'm the direct descendant of the Martial Arts Master, aren't I?"
