"All those who attain the Dao of the Primordial Spirit must agree to three rules with us!"
Li Boyang said solemnly, "If anyone disobeys or violates the law, this old Taoist and Yujing Taoist will jointly attack them!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang immediately became serious and earnest, "Please enlighten me, senior!"
Although he was quite unimpressed by the so-called "three rules".
However, as one of only two Golden Immortals in the world to openly walk, their deterrent power is still formidable.
The phrase "Those who do not comply will be attacked together" was enough to dispel any thoughts of bargaining that Bai Cang might have.
Just like "six blows shatter the dream of the martial arts world"!
It wasn't that the boy was tough enough to withstand six blows, but rather that the uncle struck him "six times in a second," giving him absolutely no chance to struggle or speak.
Li Boyang's first "stern warning" was to tell Bai Cang: I'm not here to discuss anything with you, I'm just informing you.
Whether you listen or not is up to you; the Golden Immortal of the Dao will teach you how to be a better person in your next life!
Seeing Bai Cang so "obedient," Li Boyang stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "The first precept is that one must not kill the innocent indiscriminately!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "May I ask, senior: what is meant by 'innocent'?"
Since we can't change or make the rules, we should adapt to them as quickly as possible.
Therefore, Bai Cang keenly detected the "loophole" in Li Boyang's words and immediately pressed for answers.
Only by adapting to the rules can we utilize them.
Only fools and hotheads would think of questioning authority and rebelling against the rules.
A "pure and innocent youth" like Bai Cang would naturally try to collude with the "authority" and do everything in his power to use the rules to his advantage!
What? Haven't you ever seen a "pure and innocent boy" who's over a hundred years old?
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang immediately showed an expression of "a promising young man". "Some newly promoted primordial spirits, upon hearing the three rules, would feel resistant and even outwardly comply but inwardly defy them. Only after suffering the consequences did they realize their mistake too late."
Although young, my friend Bai Cang is quite worldly-wise, far surpassing those ignorant fools who are hundreds or thousands of years old!
After saying that, Li Boyang said meaningfully, "For the world, only when one attains the Dao and the Primordial Spirit can one be considered an adult and a person."
Whether someone is innocent or not simply depends on whether they have a legitimate reason for their actions.
We, those who aspire to immortality, value cause and effect above all else. If our thoughts are not clear and our karmic ties remain unresolved, wouldn't that affect our future path of cultivation?
Bai Cang nodded vigorously upon hearing this, and sincerely cupped his hands, saying, "A word from you, senior, is worth more than a thousand years of cultivation. I understand now!"
This shows that Bai Cang has transformed into a "praise king," showering Li Boyang with praise and giving him plenty of emotional benefits.
If Bai Cang had been glaring at Li Boyang, how could he have received such insightful guidance?
Without guidance from the "rule enforcers," how can one perfectly avoid pitfalls and utilize the rules?
You either suffer in silence, or you unknowingly fall into a trap and have to suffer before you figure out the intricacies of the situation.
Of course, those "second-generation" children who have received direct instruction from their teachers are not included in this category.
But who can blame him for being a "big shot" without a reliable elder in this regard?
Moreover, how can the "blood and tears experience" summarized after suffering losses compare to the first-hand information given by Li Boyang?
Just as he was thinking, Li Boyang said again: "The second precept is that you must not destroy the mountains, rivers and states in the Great Crimson Heaven."
Even if you absolutely must engage in a battle of wits with someone, it's best to first issue a challenge, explaining the reasons and asserting your position, then ask someone to be a witness, and agree to meet in the heavens.
If the other party ignores you, and you go to their door again, they will bear all the consequences; otherwise, they will be secretly remembered.
If you accumulate too much debt and are unable to repay it, you will eventually find your place on the Yang God Ranking…
Li Boyang patiently and went on and on.
In summary, it's about how to rationally utilize the rules to protect yourself, allowing you to enjoy your revenge without bearing any responsibility, and ideally, even take the opportunity to trick your opponent, causing them unbearable pain and utter ruin at minimal cost.
In short: rotten to the core, utterly corrupt!
Bai Cang, however, was not annoyed at all. He listened with great enthusiasm, learning word by word, wishing he could take it as gospel and then innovate and carry it forward.
For a time, the two "talked very happily," as if they were about to become sworn brothers.
"I am truly fortunate to have met you, senior. It is as if I have encountered a timely rain!"
Thinking of this, Bai Cang immediately and without hesitation, shamelessly said, "I feel an instant connection with you, senior, and I wish to become your disciple..."
"Tingting, Tingting, don't say it again!"
Li Boyang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly waved his hand to interrupt Bai Cang's "spellcasting". "The third thing is that after you have attained the Dao of the Primordial Spirit, you must go to Jietian Pass to guard it within a hundred years."
You will learn the specifics when you reach the Heavenly Pass!
Before he could finish speaking, Li Boyang's figure vanished into thin air like a dream.
It even hinted at a somewhat panicked and hasty retreat.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose himself in Bai Cang's extremely flattering praise.
If you were to make a mistake and actually become sworn brothers with him, wouldn't that be a fatal mistake that you'd regret forever?
To be honest, Li Boyang himself wasn't really scared, nor could he say he was resistant.
He was even quite interested in the "VIP viewing area" of the "Bai Cang Family and Friends Group".
After all, who wouldn't want to sneak into a melon patch and be the first to taste the melons?
Moreover, Li Boyang had enough confidence to look at the "fun" that would appear a thousand years later.
Let's set aside the fact that he himself is already close to the threshold of advancing to the Pure Yang realm.
His grandmaster, the founder of Xuandu Temple, was revered as the "Supreme Dao Ancestor" and had already attained immortality.
Even in front of Qi Huang, he can still speak with his back straight.
Moreover, since its founding, Xuandu Temple has had a tradition of spreading Taoism throughout the world, and has accumulated countless good karmas.
To some extent, Bai Cang was also one of the connections of Xuandu Temple.
With a single call from the Xuandu Patriarch, he could easily summon two or three Immortals, seven or eight Pure Yang Immortals, and a dozen Golden Immortals who had achieved Dao Integration to assist him.
With such a strong backer, why would he be afraid of any trouble?
He only called them "senior" out of respect for those old fogies.
If you don't give them face, they're like jaguars!
But the thought that someone like Bai Cang would become the "honorary patriarch" of Xuandu Temple is unbearable.
Li Boyang felt a chill run down his spine.
Enjoying the show is one thing, but enjoying the show is another.
He couldn't possibly let the three generations of Xuandu Temple's foundation and its eternal lineage be destroyed in his own hands, could he?
"What does this old man mean? Does he look down on me, Daoist Master?"
Bai Cang was very displeased upon seeing this, and in a fit of anger, he immediately lashed out.
"You were wrong this time. I'll apologize to you next time we meet."
Considering that Li Boyang was indeed no match for him, Bai Cang decided to find someone easier to bully and vent his anger on.
So you call yourself the Five Emperors' Child?
Daoist, I'm really angry right now!
