"master?"
Seeing that the Taoist priest in front of her remained silent, the girl, feeling uneasy, cautiously called out.
Feng Bingwen snapped out of his daze, sized up the disciple before him, and changed his mind.
"If you're bored here, where are you planning to go next?"
"I want to go to places I've never been before!"
Wang Shu answered somewhat reservedly. She could tell at a glance that her master hadn't intended to agree at first, but had just changed his mind for some unknown reason.
"Um!"
Feng Bingwen nodded, gazing at the distant remains of the Heavenly Serpent without speaking. He had just thought of both himself and the experiences of this reincarnated disciple of a deity.
If he had been law-abiding and followed the rules back then, he would never have gotten to where he is today. Not to mention anything else, he would never have met his cheap master, and without this master to guide him, none of the subsequent events would have been possible.
The good deeds recorded in the Heavenly Book didn't just fall from the sky while he was sitting at home; he accumulated them by risking all sorts of dangers and going everywhere.
He has now simply reached a higher position and possesses a respectable level of cultivation, enough to squander cultivation resources at will. As things stand, he lacks almost nothing, so he only wants to continue cultivating peacefully and does not want to take any more risks.
Just like the vast majority of cultivators in the cultivation world, if they can ensure that they have no external needs for cultivation, they can even cultivate in the mountains for several decades without moving.
Feng Bingwen's current views can only be said to conform to the mainstream of immortal cultivators. Immortals value life, and there is no need to provoke trouble when resources are not lacking, even if the trouble can be dealt with and one can even gain benefits from it.
This shift in mindset stemmed from the fact that Feng Bingwen had almost everything; he was no longer barefoot. And it was precisely because of this that problems inevitably arose when he taught his disciples with this mindset.
It is true that his disciple is a reincarnated deity, but in order to sever karmic ties, this reincarnated deity has stripped away all talents related to cultivation, leaving only the minimum requirements for cultivation.
Such talent and aptitude cannot be achieved simply by staying in a blessed mountain and cultivating peacefully; no amount of resources can produce a celestial being.
In the cultivation of immortality, aptitude is the foundation, while comprehension is the upper limit. At the beginning of cultivation, aptitude is of paramount importance, because the lifespan of mortals is limited. If one cannot achieve sufficient cultivation results within a limited lifespan, one will ultimately turn into a pile of withered bones in a grave.
If his idea were followed and his eldest disciple were confined to one place for cultivation, even with an excessive supply of cultivation resources, given his lackluster aptitude, he probably wouldn't even be able to form a single Yuan Dan.
For his disciple, following the rules and regulations would probably just be a waste of time, and the result of doing things step by step would definitely be nothing, because she is not talented enough.
To achieve something, one must find a different path, rather than being confined to a secret place, avoiding all tribulations and trials, and peacefully cultivating oneself.
"Although I'd love to agree, your cultivation level is simply too weak!"
Having figured things out, Feng Bingwen wore a kind smile.
"You can have Sister Flower and Uncle Bear come with me!"
Wang Shu perked up and suggested with shining eyes.
"They've fallen behind in their cultivation after following you for a while, so they can't possibly continue fooling around with you!"
Feng Bingwen rolled his eyes. These followers, each with their own background, followed him in order to secure a better future, and the way he was arranging and using them now was going a bit too far.
"this……"
Hearing this, even the somewhat willful Wang Shu felt a little embarrassed, especially after learning that she had delayed the two spirit beasts that had sheltered her from the wind and rain.
"I won't let them follow you anymore for a while. If you want to travel, I will arrange for other spirit beasts to secretly protect you!"
Just when you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up. Wang Shu, who had already given up and whose face showed disappointment, suddenly brightened up and her eyes lit up with joy.
"Thank you, Master! You're the best!"
"You're celebrating too soon!"
Seeing his eldest disciple grinning from ear to ear, Feng Bingwen immediately delivered a blow to his head.
"I did allow you to go out, but I didn't say now!"
"ah!"
The little girl was stunned, her smile instantly freezing on her face, making her look somewhat comical.
"Your strength is too weak. How long have you been my disciple? You're still only at the Qi Condensation Realm. With such a low level of cultivation, you still want to act in my name outside. I feel ashamed if you don't!"
"I'm not even twelve years old yet, but my cultivation level is actually quite good!"
Wang Shu muttered to herself, many things are revealed through comparison.
She was very satisfied with her cultivation progress. After all, she had traveled to many cultivation sects and there were few of her age who could compare to her. Although many seniors were surprised that she could reach this level with her talent, it did not stop her from being proud.
"Not bad? Ha!"
Hearing his disciple's muttered words, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but laugh out loud. He could understand why his disciple thought that way. After all, this was Donghua Continent. With her cultivation level, what kind of reputable cultivation sect could she possibly run into?
"It seems you haven't yet seen what a true great sect of immortals looks like?"
"Doesn't the Dragon and Snake Sect count?"
Wang Shu asked in a low voice.
"It's not even second-rate, it's utterly worthless!"
Feng Bingwen commented bluntly, "After all, a sect that doesn't even have complete control over a secret realm is indeed second-rate. Although the Dragon-Snake Sect Leader has some talent and an exceptionally resilient temperament, he is just one person. Unless he attains immortality, he alone cannot support a sect."
In the cultivation world, there are countless similar sects. Because of the lack of successors, they have disintegrated and fallen into decline. The Dragon and Snake Sect has this potential. As soon as the sect leader dies, the sect will be torn apart in an instant.
"Forget it, there's no use saying anything more to you. I'll take you out for a walk and let you see more of the world, then you'll realize how incompetent you are. I really don't know how you developed such an arrogant heart!"
Feng Bingwen was indeed somewhat helpless. He, as a Supreme Daoist, didn't dare to even raise his tail, but this disciple whose talent was almost completely diminished was raising his tail very high.
"Master, are you taking me out of here?"
Wang Shu ignored Feng Bingwen's criticisms and only focused on the key points.
"You should improve your cultivation level first. With your current level, I'm afraid I'll embarrass myself!"
Feng Bingwen said expressionlessly.
"good!"
Wang Shu readily agreed, and then she took her leave.
"Master, I'm going to cultivate now!"
Go!
Feng Bingwen was greatly relieved, but after she left, he immediately began to ponder with a worried expression.
Putting everything else aside, given his disciple's aptitude, it's out of the question that he could possibly regain his former peak through hard work alone. He would have to rely on external aids, and those aids are right in front of him.
There are shortcuts to spiritual practice, but most of them come at a price.
However, for cultivators, taking drugs to cultivate immortality is the norm, but only the direct disciples of prestigious sects can do so as a regular practice. Most cultivators are willing but unable to do so, as the consumption involved is simply too great.
"cause and effect!"
Using alchemy and elixirs to aid cultivation and accelerate progress is fine, but the needs of the powerful figures must be taken into account, as they have severed karmic ties.
"An object from beyond this realm!"
Naturally, Feng Bingwen's gaze fell upon his own blessed land. For others, such a thing from another realm was something they could only dream of, but for him, it was already more than enough.
"I don't know how to refine pills!"
Feng Bingwen rubbed his temples in annoyance, but the furrowed brows quickly relaxed.
Although he didn't know how, his companion spirit seemed to have learned a few tricks of alchemy, albeit very clumsy, but it could provide enough materials for the spirit to squander.
"We must be prepared for both possibilities!"
Although it is his own companion spirit, it may not be reliable. However, as a dignified Supreme Daoist, finding a qualified alchemist is a piece of cake for him.
In Donghua Continent, the only major immortal sect that is well-known and has been mentioned in other human continents is the Jiuwei Sect. It is said that it has quite a few disciples, numbering in the tens of thousands.
A sect of this size must have a group of alchemists. He was able to visit his two younger brothers and get his wish, and of course, he could also take the opportunity to assess the skill level of their disciples.
If things are about right, Feng Bingwen plans to lead his disciples to pay her a visit, to show her what a great immortal sect is like, and to curb her arrogance.
As for the Twelve Paths of the Xuanmen, there's no need. Their disciples are too monstrous; even Feng Bingwen himself would be amazed, let alone his disciples. If he were to go and take a look, the blow to his Dao heart would likely be devastating. If he survives, all will be well; if he doesn't, he might have to start over.
Having made up his mind, Feng Bingwen wasted no more time and immediately put it into action. He first summoned his companion fire spirit and gave it the task of practicing alchemy. Then he left the secret realm and went directly to Mount Jiuwei.
His purpose in this trip was to investigate the strength of this major immortal sect, since its reputation had spread so far, it must be quite formidable.
However, just halfway there, Feng Bingwen slowed down his speed because he saw the suffering of all living beings!
Immortals who roam freely in the heavens cannot bear to see such things, because once they are moved by compassion and try to help, they may incur great karmic consequences and be doomed to eternal damnation.
But Feng Bingwen was no ordinary immortal. Although he could also move freely and freely, his gaze could penetrate all things and look across thousands of miles. As long as he wanted to observe the world, nothing could escape his eyes.
At this moment, all the human suffering unfolding on the earth beneath his feet came into view.
The Kingdom of Jing is suffering from a severe drought!
Reduced grain production led to some already impoverished areas experiencing complete crop failure, resulting in famine.
When even the most basic needs for survival cannot be met, all morality and order will collapse, and chaos will begin to spread.
Various human tragedies will then unfold.
They exchanged their own children to eat!
In historical records, it may only be mentioned briefly, but when it truly comes into reality and unfolds before our eyes, even immortals would be enraged and moved.
"absurd!"
Having undergone a change in his thinking, Feng Bingwen stood beneath the vast blue sky. The scenes beneath his feet, resembling hell, made it impossible for him to remain indifferent. He had already cast aside thoughts of avoiding cause and effect.
If he witnesses something like this and acts as if he didn't see it and remains indifferent, then he can forget about ever entering a meditative state peacefully in his future cultivation.
"What are the gods of this country doing?"
A surge of celestial light coursed around Feng Bingwen, causing his simple robes to flutter in the wind.
It's no wonder he asked this question, since the human kingdoms of Donghua Continent are almost all based on the divine way. Even emperors who hold the highest power in the human world will consult the gods.
Point Guard Here
In some less prosperous countries, the succession of the monarchy is even decided by the gods. Of course, there are also powerful emperors who incorporate divine authority into the control of the imperial power.
Regardless of the type, the influence of the Shinto on the mortals of this continent is enormous, affecting every aspect of their lives. Therefore, normally, even if the gods of the Shinto were to suffer a great loss of divine power, they would not allow a major disaster to occur.
After all, the decline of humanity also symbolizes the decline of the divine way; the two are interdependent and coexist. More accurately, the divine way relies on humanity.
"cut!"
A sword tower leaped out from behind Feng Bingwen and hovered above his head, casting down celestial light that engulfed him. At the same time, hundreds of fine sword energies sprinkled down on the earth beneath his feet.
Those hundreds and thousands of sword energies seemed to possess their own consciousness, precisely targeting the evildoers on this land simultaneously shrouded in famine and drought.
Before the famine spread, those bandits who turned to banditry for survival, and even turned their knives against the weaker, might have just been honest farmers, kind children in their parents' eyes, and trustworthy neighbors in their neighbors' eyes. But now, they have only one identity.
Bandits!
Feng Bingwen had no time to identify those who committed evil under his nose. Although he knew they were forced to do so for survival, since they no longer abided by morality and order, they could no longer be called human, even if they still looked human.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Almost simultaneously, hundreds of blood blossoms bloomed, and whether they were committing evil or preparing to do evil, their lives all came to an end at this moment.
"Lei Lai!"
In just this round of slaughter, tens of thousands of good deeds were added to the Heavenly Book, but Feng Bingwen did not care about them. He used his supernatural powers to make dazzling lightning explode in the sky. After attracting the attention of countless mortals who were numb with hunger, dark clouds spread across the sky.
