Chapter 57: Master, Master is so good.
What exactly happened?
Chen Duoer stretched out her hand to touch her senior sister's clothes, but Chu Sheng easily caught it in her palm.
"It's okay, Duo'er. I'm back."
Her breathing was steady, her complexion was normal, her body temperature remained the same, and there was no sign that she had just experienced a terrifying ordeal. It was as if everything was just a dream, but...
Chen Duoer could no longer sense Chu Sheng's realm, just like she could not sense her master's realm. Undoubtedly, Chu Sheng's condition had not gotten worse, and might even be stronger!
Just as Chu Sheng said, she did it, and the world of cultivation had a powerful female cultivator who could easily display amazing strength.
"I'm so glad you're okay, Senior Sister."
Yuwawa rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and hugged Chu Sheng's legs very easily.
"I knew that Senior Sister could do it... Hmm?" Jade Doll's cheek was poked by a soft flower branch. She looked along the branch, but only saw Yun Mengzi's back as he returned to the cave.
"Did we disturb Venerable Yunmeng, Senior Sister?"
"No, Master just went back to regulate his breathing." Chu Sheng looked at the confused look of this junior sister thoughtfully, and decided to explore some harmless little issues later.
Yunmengzi...
Yun Mengzi did have a lot to say to Chu Sheng, but definitely not in this situation.
The reason Yun Mengzi returned to the cave was not because the noises of Yuwawa and the others disturbed him, but because...
He raised his arm, and the lotus branches wrapped around the wide sleeves of his robe that had fallen down gently exerted force, easily pulling the former great monk back into the spiritual palace of another person.
This is the girl's spiritual home, with its mysterious rhyme of Taoism, surging waves of spiritual power, and a golden lotus rooted in it that emits a bright light.
Yun Mengzi sat on the lotus in a daze, her snow-white eyelashes drooping as she watched the soft petals of the Golden Lotus of Creation floating in the spiritual sea.
Si Chun and Fuqiu both thought that there was no change in him since he could appear normally, but the real change had already happened quietly under the cover of everything being normal.
Sheng'er...his only disciple, the future he carefully nurtured, the successor chosen thousands of years ago, gave Yun Mengzi a result he had never imagined.
The Golden Lotus of Creation possesses the terrifying power to create something out of nothing, but not everyone can fully master it.
The innate treasure with spiritual power is no less powerful than an ordinary cultivator of the same level, not to mention that the Golden Lotus of Creation has gone through such a long time.
Yun Mengzi knew very well that there were unknown secrets behind the ascension of that Buddhist disciple, so from the very beginning he did not intend to allow Chu Sheng the possibility of breaking his path and rebuilding himself.
Just like grafting, transferring the Dao that she had nurtured for a long time to Chu Sheng's Dao not only made up for her shortcomings in the Dao, but also allowed her to easily possess unprecedented powerful strength.
Yun Mengzi thought this was a good idea and never thought that Chu Sheng would oppose his idea.
That's why he felt so confused and hesitant after Chu Sheng's comeback.
...What exactly happened?
For Chu Sheng, all of this is actually very simple.
Just like two lotus flowers can bloom together on the same branch, Chu Sheng, who had seen the God Lord and the Goddess use the creative properties of the Golden Lotus of Creation to share their breath and lifeblood, was well aware of how to use the Golden Lotus of Creation.
Chu Sheng, who had already turned Ye Ziqing's path into a winding tributary, simply artificially carved out a second tributary... and then pushed her master over.
You are me and I am you, we are of the same blood and depend on each other. This is something that Ye Ziqing cannot do no matter what, but Yun Mengzi, who has the same path as us, can do it.
In a delicate and strange balance, the blooming golden lotus connects the fate of Chu Sheng and Yun Mengzi together.
Chu Sheng gained the power to drive the great power of Taoism wielded by Yun Mengzi, and although Yun Mengzi, whose Taoism heart was on the verge of collapse, lost his freedom, he also regained some room for buffer.
No, at this point, perhaps I shouldn't call him Yun Mengzi...
"Master?"
In Chu Sheng's soul, the girl's voice echoed softly. Zong Shan raised his head and waited quietly for her to finish the words she couldn't say.
"Master is so good." Chu Sheng looked at Zong Shan who had no other movements and smiled with satisfaction.
"What do you want to do, Sheng'er?" Zongshan asked.
"I know Master did all this for my own good, but I also want the best for Master..."
Master, please be patient here for a while and look at me a little longer, okay?"
She said gently.
"I will find a way. When that day comes, I will be able to let Master and I ascend together."
"You can't do it, Sheng'er." Zongshan said.
He looked up at the hazy halo in the spiritual palace, which was the proof that Chu Sheng insisted on not entering the Nascent Soul stage prematurely.
Although the soul that failed to solidify into an infant reduced the cultivator's support, it could very well achieve the goal of silently dragging the soul of a Mahayana master into the vortex.
In fact, if Chu Sheng returned to Hehuan Sect at the Nascent Soul stage, Yun Mengzi's chances of winning would be far greater than before... Had this child already anticipated this?
Zongshan caressed the petals under him and sighed silently.
"Sheng'er, that's too difficult and meaningless. It's not worth your trouble."
The spiritual power is rich and pure but cannot be transformed and sublimated. It can only rise in the air for a long time in vain, and then turn into drizzle and pour into the spiritual sea. The seasons change, the sun and the moon do not stop, and faintly, it reveals a bit of the mystery of a world of its own.
"When Master wanted to pass everything on to me, did you ever think it would turn out like this?"
Chu Sheng was not angry. After getting out of the special situation at that time, she could look at many problems more calmly. No matter what Zong Shan, who was determined to die, said, he would not change her decision.
"Master, I am your disciple and an independent individual. I have my own Dao heart and cannot be treated as a complete copy of you."
"I didn't..." Zongshan opened his mouth and fell silent again.
"Sheng'er is Sheng'er, how can Sheng'er be me?"
"So what Master can't do, it's only natural that I should do it." Chu Sheng replied.
"I'm not you, so I must have my own way... before this."
The black-haired, black-eyed girl curved her devilish eyes.
"You must protect my Origin Spiritual Palace. Don't let me die accidentally, Master?"
…
Junior Sister Chu Sheng has become... very different, as if some shackles had been opened by someone.
The perceptive Gu Xuan really wanted to ask, but her timid nature prevented her from doing so. She could only silently stare at Chu Sheng's face, which was as bright and full of vitality as ever.
Gu Xuan was born with Yin in her body, a unique body of Yuan Yin.
The Yuan Yin body is convenient for spiritual practice and beneficial for dual cultivation. It should be smooth sailing to achieve the supreme path. However, if the cultivator is timid, he will be easily manipulated by others.
Elder Yupan accepted her as his disciple because he was worried about Gu Xuan's weak character. If there was no one to guide her, she would easily go astray.
Gu Xuan knew that her half-hearted promotion from Jindan to Yuanying, due to the Rabbit Demon family's surrender, could easily leave hidden dangers for the future, but she couldn't control her soft heart...
"Ah, Senior Sister Gu Xuan." Chu Sheng came back to his senses and met the soft eyes of this senior sister.
"What was it you wanted to ask me before?"
The senior sister in the Nascent Soul stage asked the junior sister in the Golden Core stage for advice. This scene seemed a little funny, but both parties did not think there was anything wrong with it.
"...My path seems to be shrouded in dark clouds, making it difficult to see the way forward. If I break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spiritualization stage, I will probably fail directly."
Gu Xuan did not shy away from this. In her opinion, her advancement to the Nascent Soul stage was simply a trick by external forces, and her comprehension and Dao heart realm could not keep up in time.
I'm afraid that whether it is Ye Ziqing, Chu Sheng, or Wang Ze, who is now nowhere to be found, they are all much better than her in this matter.
"Junior sister, how did you manage to break through the realm of chaos when you had nothing to rely on and couldn't feel the profoundness of the Dao?"
Chu Sheng understood that Gu Xuan was not asking about how she broke through to the Golden Core Stage, but about her feelings when she first broke through from a mortal to the Qi Training Stage and then from the Qi Training Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Speaking of this... Chu Sheng's eyes drifted slightly.
She couldn't tell Senior Sister Gu Xuan that she initially thought that since she was already here, it would be a huge loss if she didn't try to ascend, so she started to focus on leveling up and fighting monsters in Yunshui Xuantian!
However, why did Senior Sister Gu Xuan suddenly have such doubts... She was not completely clueless.
Ye Ziqing, Wang Ze, and Gu Xuan, before, the senior brothers and sisters in the Hehuan Sect all took these three as role models.
As the eldest brother of the Hehuan Sect, Ye Ziqing is often half-baked and unreliable, but he can still make a good compromise and let Wang Ze and Gu Xuan give full play to their respective talents.
But now, Wang Ze is gone, and Ye Ziqing has been waiting for him with her for a long time.
After Gu Xuan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage alone, she was forced to take on the burden and face a very complicated situation. Although she had done her best, that soft soul was hurting her heart all the time.
"I saved the rabbit demon, but I also harmed his family. I took on the responsibility of protecting the sect, but I failed to protect my fellow disciples. I can't do anything, and I can't do anything well."
"Maybe I'm too indecisive..." Gu Xuan said in a low voice.
"Before, there was Wang Ze and Ziqing. I always thought I could wait a little longer, wait a little longer, it didn't matter. That's why I never did anything."
A trace of dark evil spirit quietly climbed from the corner of the robe to the cuffs, and when it was about to penetrate into the fair skin, Chu Sheng grabbed Gu Xuan's slightly trembling arm.
"But Senior Sister."
Those black eyes stared at the timid female cultivator, nailing her to the spot as if casting a spell.
"You are not Senior Brother Wang Ze, nor are you Senior Brother Ye Ziqing. You have a unique personality and heart. Why do you want to compare yourself with them?"
Chu Sheng asked doubtfully.
"If people who are meant to be at the back are forced to step forward and reflect on their mistakes, then those who should have been at the front are also guilty of something unforgivable."
"—After all, if it weren't for their sudden disappearance, you shouldn't have been put in this position, Senior Sister."
