Uncle Xuanhu, why is he hard at first and soft at last?
Bai Cang almost blurted out those words.
I was having so much fun, and now you're telling me to wrap things up?
With my Uncle Xuanhu protecting me, I can slowly torment them to death, wiping them out one by one. Is that not allowed?
Seemingly having guessed Bai Cang's thoughts, True Monarch Xuanhu said calmly, "What are you thinking? You still want to destroy this stronghold of the Myriad Manifestations Sect?"
"Don't even talk about whether I'm willing to stand up for you; your cheap teacher would be the first to disagree."
"If he wants to open a sect overseas in the future, he will still need to rely on the fortune of major Xuanmen sects such as Wanxiang Sect. How could he possibly offend someone to death?"
"Besides, you don't have much time left. If you don't leave now, it won't be so easy to leave later!"
Bai Cang's heart stirred, "Please enlighten me, Martial Uncle!"
True Lord Xuanhu: "Do you know why my brother-in-law chose to sacrifice himself for this calamity some time ago?"
"Why is our Longhu Mountain so tolerant of the East Sea Dragon Palace's provocations?"
"I would like to hear the details." Bai Cang's expression turned serious.
"It is because an elder of our Longhu Mountain is about to attain enlightenment, and someone took advantage of the situation to rise up and use that elder's destiny to enter into a calamity."
True Lord Xuanhu said calmly, "This is also the reason why your Heshan Sect was caught up in the calamity, and it is also the reason why you must face the Dragon Palace's test."
"Now that elder has completed his work, he will soon assume the position of Lord of the Long River and take control of the entire Lanyun River."
"At that time, we will inevitably have to fight against the Dragon King of the East Sea. The major sects in the vicinity, such as Qianyuan Mountain and Huanxi Sword Sect, may also get involved. The entire area around Lanyun Sea City will probably become a battlefield."
"Don't even mention you. Even when we were fighting the Dao Lords, we could only get through the crisis thanks to my cheap brother-in-law's protection. Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stood up. "Thank you for your guidance, Uncle-Master. I will go and settle this matter now!"
Then pick up the bucket and run away. Running away on the spot, even hesitating for half a second, is disrespectful to one's own life.
"Don't rush, I reckon it will be another ten days to half a month before the real show begins."
Xuanhu Zhenjun reached out and pressed Bai Cang down, saying with a half-smile, "Anyway, my cheap brother-in-law clearly doesn't like you. Han Xiaochu probably won't be able to get out of seclusion for at least thirty-five years."
"What are you planning to do next? Continue hanging around in the Heshan Sect?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth: the Heshan Sect can only last for another fifty years at most before we take back the Xia Kingdom's dojo. Have you thought about where you're going?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang frowned deeply, his mind racing, but he still couldn't come up with a solution.
He could only cup his hands in greeting again and say, "Please enlighten me, Martial Uncle!"
He didn't believe that True Lord Xuanhu would speak without reason. Even if he wanted to use him for something, there should be a plan.
Therefore, let's first hear what True Lord Xuanhu has to say. As for how to choose, Bai Cang has his own considerations.
He absolutely did not believe in love or hate without a reason, and his relationship with Xuanhu Zhenjun was only a one- or two-time "acquaintance".
If the other party has no ulterior motives, why would they go to such lengths for you?
"It's not really guidance, I just find you pleasing to the eye, and my older sister has given me some instructions. I'm just saying a few words, whether you listen or not is up to you."
Xuanhu Zhenjun stroked his wine cup, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If I were you, I would leave the Xia Kingdom far away and never return for a hundred years."
"The future Xia Kingdom will inevitably become a place of trouble and conflict. The waters here are too deep for you to handle."
Bai Cang seemed to be deep in thought when a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had grasped some extremely important information.
However, due to insufficient information, they were unable to grasp the key points.
Then he asked again, "Is it just leaving the Xia Kingdom?"
After thinking for a moment, Xuanhu Zhenjun said, "My suggestion is: go back to the Ten Thousand Mountains. That is the most suitable place for you to show your skills."
"It just so happens that Heshandao owes your cheap teacher a huge debt of karma, and soon there will be an opportunity that suits your needs right now."
"If you achieve something in the future, you can try to take over a mountain in Heshan Road, which would be a good way to build a foundation."
“Once my brother-in-law goes overseas to establish his own school, you, as his only disciple left in China, will naturally be able to inherit his many legacy.”
"After all, when you're out in the world, you have to give yourself an identity. As long as we don't say anything, who will know if you're a direct descendant of the Dao Lord?"
"But there's a prerequisite: you must establish your own business within thirty years before you can achieve anything."
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang raised his hand in a gesture of respect, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Uncle-Master. I am deeply grateful."
Now that things have come to this point, True Lord Xuanhu's meaning has been made very clear.
It boils down to two things: stay away from Xia Kingdom and take control of Heshan Road.
However, Heshan Road? That's a tough nut to crack!
No matter what, Heshan Sect is still a major unorthodox sect, boasting more than a dozen Golden Core True Monarchs. It dominates a region in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and can be considered a hegemonic force.
What merit do I possess to even consider moving into Heshan Road?
No, wait, it's not right at all, maybe even 80% right. Let me sort this out first.
Bai Cang's mind raced. He forcefully suppressed the surging thoughts swirling within him, severing all distractions, and carefully assessed his "reliance."
If we exclude all external things and "connections," I am indeed a pseudo-Dao Foundation cultivator at the Qi Refining level, right?
So, what am I doing now?
How can they conspire with the True Lord of Longhu Mountain to seize the foundation of Heshan Dao, a major sect with more than a dozen Golden Core True Lords?
Am I still dreaming, or has the world gone mad?
Thinking about it this way, Bai Cang's gaze towards Xuanhu Zhenjun became strange.
Well, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you've mastered the art of making empty promises, haven't you?
I knew something felt off; turns out I was just confused!
"Don't overestimate the power of Heshan Dao. They're really nothing special."
As if seeing through Bai Cang's thoughts, True Lord Xuanhu said indifferently, "Heshan Dao is known as the Sixteen True Lords who guard Heshan. Half of them are fake Core cultivators who are just filling in the numbers. Their strength is only slightly better than yours now. Among the remaining eight True Lords, half of them are the lowest grade Void Core True Lords, who are not worth mentioning at all."
"Throughout the entire Heshan Dao, only the sect leader Yao Kaishan, Feng Xinglie of the Feng family, and Ma Jiuzhenjun of the Ma family, who killed Venerable and his master and disciple, are barely worth mentioning. However, they are only middle-grade True Core True Lords and have no hope of attaining the Primordial Spirit in their entire lives."
"The most important thing is: you have a powerful backer, what are you afraid of? As the direct descendant of a Dao Lord, isn't that enough for you to roam freely in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
"If it comes to a critical moment, Longhu Mountain can provide you with the necessary assistance!"
Stop drawing! I'm so full, I can't eat anymore!
Bai Cang shook his head, feeling dizzy all over.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
In a critical moment? Surely they'll be able to help? Probably with all the support beyond just providing assistance?
Bai Cang was still dizzy, and the figure of Xuanhu Zhenjun was gradually fading away.
Only one sentence remained, echoing and swirling in the air.
"Don't overthink it. You're now qualified to have others invest and place bets. Don't underestimate yourself!"
"For me, it's just a casual move anyway, whether it succeeds or not doesn't matter, and you don't need to feel any pressure!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang mechanically cupped his hands in greeting, his mind filled with only one thought.
"How come a security guard like me, who has avoided thirty years of detours, is being offered a dream by the executives of the company next door, promising to acquire the parent company and break into the Fortune 500?"
Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
If he had to name it, he would call Xuanhu Zhenjun the God of Pancakes!
The ancient Greek god who controlled empty promises!
At the same time, in Tianhe Temple.
Venerable Tianhe slowly opened his eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
You think you can't handle me? You're totally dizzy now, aren't you?
"Are you impersonating me again to do something bad?"
Just then, True Lord Li Long suddenly appeared, staring at her husband with a suspicious expression.
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Without batting an eye, Venerable Tianhe subtly changed the subject, "Didn't your elders want me to grant them a verbal promise? I agree to that!"
"Let it go as soon as possible, preferably in the next few days, to avoid any unforeseen complications."
I, the dignified future Dao Lord, have three thousand alternate accounts and eight hundred aliases.
How could someone possibly do something as tasteless as impersonating their own wife?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Really? Didn't you say this would diminish your luck and that the time wasn't right yet?"
True Lord Lilong's attention was indeed drawn. "Why is he being so agreeable today? Could it be..."
