Only the Tao is eternal and brings you longevity and freedom!
In this case, it is better to exile your true self, fight against the gods, fight against the heavens, and if you are not dead, you will be a hero among men.
Thinking through all this, Li Chengqian felt that his blood and qi were surging, and the merits that had not been fully melted since breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Realm were once again emerging, and his cultivation level also improved! He reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
Feeling the immortal power filling up his body again, Li Chengqian took a big step and walked towards the place where the Purple Gold Taoist stayed!
He no longer had any attachment to the throne, but the human race today could not allow him to pursue immortality with peace of mind! Doing his best and fighting with all his might was the only thing he could do.
Arriving at the small house where the young scholar lived in Chang'an City, Li Chengqian was about to push the door open, but through the fence, he saw a very strange scene taking place in the hall.
I saw a young scholar kneeling on the ground, and on his right was the Taoist Zi Jin who was standing far away!
The two of them focused their eyes on an ancient sword placed on the table!
Li Chengqian couldn't help but lower his footsteps, thinking that the two were holding a solemn sacrificial ceremony.
Unexpectedly, the young scholar shouted loudly and then prostrated himself on the ground!
"Master Tongtian, I, the disciple Niu Qing, kowtow to you!" After three dong dong dong sounds, Niu Qing, the young scholar, immediately knelt up straight: "Master Tongtian, you saved Niu Qing, so I will naturally become your disciple in the future! However, the human race is weak now, and I am in a very bad situation. I can't forget the humiliation I suffered in the palace by that Taoist priest that day. Therefore, I and Taoist Zijin have similar spirits. Heroes recognize heroes, and I plan to write another book that will be passed down through the ages! Please bless me, Master Tongtian."
The scholar Niu Qing bowed heavily to the ground! Taoist Zijin heard his tone and felt that he was quite relaxed! However, Taoist Zijin could feel that Niu Qing was not as optimistic as he appeared.
What happened in the palace must be engraved in his heart!
The fact is just as Taoist Zijin thought. Niu Qing is good at painting and writing. He has just started practicing, but he has experienced life and death! He knows very well that he is just a puppet being manipulated by the gods of the three realms or the royal family of the human world.
If he wants to get rid of it, he must play both sides, and then borrow the reputation of Master Tongtian and the power of the Immortal Sword to create a path that belongs to him alone.
Therefore, he had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow, and become a disciple of Tongtian Sect Master! He had obtained protection...but this was actually not what he wanted.
Li Chengqian took light steps and stood on the steps outside the house with a rustling sound.
In the simple house, on the cobbled-together wooden table, there lay an ancient and unadorned long sword!
"This is the saint's weapon, the Immortal Sword?" Li Chengqian murmured, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
“Yes, this is indeed the Immortal Sword! But... no matter how powerful this sword is, it is just a magic weapon. Your Highness, although Niu Qing and I are practitioners, we also want to find a path suitable for mortals.” Taoist Zi Jin responded, emphasizing the word magic weapon!
Li Chengqian smiled gently and felt a little touched.
He knew very well that what Zijin Taoist said was actually telling him! Whether he had become a disciple of Tongtian or borrowed the Immortal Sword, it was still just an external object after all!
Or it could be said to be a stopgap measure. Neither Niu Qing nor Taoist Zi Jin would leave the human race under any circumstances.
Niu Qing turned around and his eyes stayed on Li Chengqian's face. After a few seconds, he smiled happily: "Your Highness, thank you for saving me in the palace today. Otherwise... I'm afraid my surname would have been changed."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Niu Qing, the Queen's action has caused you some injustice! You must be more careful in the future. I cannot stay by your side every day, but some people will not give up any opportunity to kill you."
Niu Qing nodded deeply. He didn't have much hatred towards Crown Prince Li Chengqian. There was no resentment in his heart!
After all, as the prince's companion, he had witnessed how helpless Li Chengqian was over the years!
Being the crown prince of the royal family, he was not as happy and carefree as people thought, with beauties all around him and a carefree life. On the contrary, Li Chengqian was in the position of crown prince, and the pressure and responsibility he carried were extremely heavy.
If he is a little careless, he will let the evil-minded people advance! By then, more than one Changsun family will take advantage of the chaos to plunder the benefits! The whole Chang'an may also become a battlefield controlled by the clan.
"It seems that Your Highness the Crown Prince does not think that this chaotic court can produce a wonderful method to save the human race?"
Li Chengqian nodded gently: "Master Zijin, we know this very well. It may not sound good to talk about it. But in fact, it is true! The power in the court is intertwined and the clans are deeply rooted! Their primary consideration is not the people and others, but their own interests. This is understandable. This is not the ally I need."
Niu Qing stood up and said, "Your Highness, are you too worried? I am just a scholar, so I was plotted against by the clan. I was tied to their chariot... But you are the crown prince, and you have the protection of the human race's luck. Who dares to do anything to you?"
When Taoist Zi Jin heard this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said to Niu Qing, "I envy you very much. With the Immortal Sword in your hand, everyone in the Three Realms will be in awe of the one behind you. The Buddhist sect has suffered a great loss this time. Few people in the Three Realms will dare not give face to the one behind you after this!"
Taoist Zijin also nodded: "The reputation of Master Tongtian is resounding throughout the Three Realms. Now that you have officially become Master Tongtian's disciple, the truly powerful ones will not attack you."
Niu Qing blinked: "Then His Royal Highness, is he not as good as me?"
"That's right..." Li Chengqian said with a bitter smile, "Have you forgotten that His Majesty was captured by the Buddhist sect and taken to Lingshan some time ago? If it weren't for the intervention of the Lord of the Heaven and Earth Pawnshop, I'm afraid our human race would have become a puppet! And the one who did it is a Bodhisattva of Buddhism. Such a direct threat is much more indifferent than a secret assassination."
After listening to Li Chengqian's helpless narration, Niu Qing suddenly realized!
Turning back to look at the Immortal Sword, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
This sword seems useless, but it has saved him countless times!
At the same time, he understood more clearly the embarrassing situation of the human race. Even with this sword as a protective weapon, he could not do whatever he wanted in the three realms.
Taoist Zijin looked at the two brothers in distress, shook his head slightly and said, "Instead of envying the fish by the abyss, it is better to retreat and weave a net. Since the immortal cultivation records of mortals have already helped many people in Chang'an City and even in the Tang Dynasty to open up their spiritual consciousness and the sea of dantian, it is better to give them another push. The glory of the human race for generations will begin from now!"
