Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 673: Unexpected Knocks and Reminders
If Luo Yan himself had not practiced the mysterious power of destiny, it would have been difficult for him to discover this abnormality.

At that time, the middle-aged Taoist used himself to block the Monkey King's pursuit.

Now that I think about it, this was most likely premeditated!

In other words, although this guy seemed to be trying to steal the monkey wine, his real purpose was not the wine, but the monkey, or even Luo Yan.

Luo Yan knew very well that in addition to one's own understanding, there was actually a shortcut to practicing the mysterious power of destiny.

That is to manipulate the cause and effect lines of others in order to control their fate.

During this period of time, as long as the middle-aged Taoist priest can change the fate of others, he can gain a large amount of destiny power from it and thus complete himself.

To put it simply, a person's destiny is fixed, and he is just an ordinary mortal.

Those who are good at divine secrets can change the other person's fortune and make a mortal's luck explode, so that he or she happens to encounter the inheritance of cultivating immortals and embark on a path of cultivation from then on.

This is defying fate and changing destiny!

But in the eyes of those who deduce the mysteries of destiny, changing the original fortunes of others, those extra cause and effect lines that appear out of thin air will emit a large amount of the mysterious power of destiny.

Therefore, Luo Yan knew clearly that this guy was using his own cultivation destiny as a tool.

"Before I saw you, I just thought that the monkey was depressed and wanted to seek true freedom and pursue a wider world, so he made such an abnormal behavior."

"Although I sensed something was wrong at the time, I didn't think much about it and just thought it was a coincidence."

"But just now, the moment I saw you, I suddenly understood a lot of things."

The third eye between Luo Yan’s eyebrows closed, his eyes were filled with electric light, and his aura began to become fierce.

His aura suddenly changed, his black hair flew up in the air, and he was filled with murderous intent.

"It was you who caused the Monkey King's mind to suddenly become disordered, as if he had gone mad, right?" Luo Yan's tone was neither hurried nor slow, with a sense of certainty.

"Brother Taoist, you are joking. I don't even know you, so how can I do anything?" The middle-aged Taoist remained unafraid and responded calmly.

Even if the Taoist in green clothes guessed the result, what would happen? He just refused to admit it.

As long as you keep denying, the other party won't be able to do anything to you.

"Are you from the Tianyan Sect? I'm looking forward to the day when I meet you." Luo Yan's tone was cold, and there was a blazing lightning in his eyes.

It was really a good plot. Without any warning, even I suffered the consequences.

If he doesn't retaliate, that's not Luo Yan's character.

But at this moment, a skinny old man with white hair suddenly walked in from outside the hall, and Luo Yan withdrew his gaze.

But the coldness in his eyes lingered for a long time.

Are you kidding? After embarking on the journey of destiny and the mysterious power for decades, he was actually teased by others in the end. How could Luo Yan bear this?

Although the middle-aged Taoist in front of him kept denying it, Luo Yan firmly believed that his judgment was correct.

After all, those who are good at seeing the mysteries of the universe, besides peeking into the future, are best known for manipulating the fate of others.

This guy's shadow was present before and after the Monkey King's temperament changed drastically.

Although there was no evidence, Luo Yan was certain that the other party was the mastermind behind the incident.

This is also the most reasonable explanation for the Monkey King’s drastic changes in temperament.

In other words, as early as the Little True Dragon Realm, the fellow from the Tianyan Sect in front of him might have started his plot.

Moreover, the other party's attainments in destiny should be far higher than his own.

Only in this way would Luo Yan not notice anything and silently fall into the other party's plan.

Thinking of this, the coldness in Luo Yan's eyes became even stronger.

Damn the fortune teller, it's really hard to guard against, you'll be tricked if you're not careful!

Outside the main hall, a skinny old man wearing a loose Taoist robe walked in leisurely.

At this moment, a strong aura of the Tao of heaven and earth emanated from his side, with a small wind-attribute vortex surging, mixed with a peaceful and tranquil aura, which calmed Luo Yan's mind.

In an instant, the coldness faded a lot.

"I've met senior."

Luo Yan and the middle-aged Taoist priest from Tianyan Sect bowed at the same time.

"No need to be polite, just relax."

Old man Tianji nodded slightly with a kind smile on his face, looking very amiable, like an old man next door.

"Little guy, you are upset, calm down first."

Old man Tianji looked over here with a smile on his face, and his voice seemed to contain some kind of Taoist rhyme, which eliminated the murderous intent in Luo Yan.

At this moment, it feels like a breeze blowing on your face, very refreshing.

"When we practice destiny, the most taboo thing is to have a disordered mind. If even the mind is disordered, our own practice will be affected."

"Peeping into fate, following fate, guiding fate, manipulating fate, and controlling fate."

"This is the stage that practitioners who embark on our path must go through." Old Man Tianji said with a chuckle.

As soon as they met, he pointed at Luo Yan, as if to guide this younger generation in cultivating his state of mind.

He seemed like a kind and amiable elder.

"Reporting to the senior, it is not that I insist, but I have resentment in my heart. If I don't vent it, what's the use even if my cultivation is high?" Luo Yan replied in a serious voice.

If the other party is someone very powerful, he would be a coward and he would naturally be a coward.

But the middle-aged Taoist in front of him was similar in strength to him, so Luo Yan naturally would not give him a good face.

When it's time to take revenge, Luo Yan will naturally do so.
Elder Tianji waved his hand, and three cushions fell down. Luo Yan and the middle-aged Taoist fell below, and then he continued to speak:

"Water travels from top to bottom, taking advantage of the situation. This is the law of heaven and earth."

"Fate is actually the same. Many things are predetermined by heaven and earth."

Luo Yan understood the general principle after hearing this, but the coldness in his eyes still remained.

It is not his nature to not repay kindness or grudges.

Luo Yan glanced at the guy next to him. Since the other party dared to reach out to him, there would be a fight between them sooner or later.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

As for keeping things peaceful, that is something I should consider. I am not that magnanimous.

Seeing this, Old Man Tianji said no more and just shook his head gently. That's right, how old is this little guy? If he is not young and energetic, can he still be called a young man?
Then, Elder Tianji looked at the Tianyan Sect disciple standing beside him and said, "You, young man, are also a troublemaker. Why did you mess with someone who has also comprehended the way of fate?"

"I hope you two won't fight on the territory of our Earthly Immortal Alliance, and then you'll just make others laugh at you."

When the middle-aged Taoist heard this, he smiled innocently and looked very honest.

Then, Elder Tianji changed the subject and said in a serious tone: "Young man, do you also have to pretend in front of me?"

"Don't you know that this is disrespectful to the elders?"

At this time, the middle-aged Taoist who had been sitting quietly on the cushion looked embarrassed, and then the aura in his body began to change.

After a while, the face of the ordinary middle-aged Taoist priest turned into a gentle, fair-complexioned, handsome young man with a gentle smile.

"Junior Leng Zijin, greetings to Senior Tianji."

"Master Long Yangzi asked me to say hello to you on his behalf," the handsome young man responded respectfully.

"Well, why did Long Yangzi bear to let you come to the Earthly Immortal Alliance?" Old Man Tianji asked, revealing what had just happened.

"Master said that in the near future, there will be a great upheaval in the True Spirit Realm, and most of the sects will be affected. At that time, only the Earthly Immortal Alliance will remain standing, so he asked his disciples to come here to avoid the disaster."

"At the same time, Master also said that Senior Tianji is good at teaching people and is one of the strongest people in our human race," Leng Zijin answered honestly.

"Hahaha, what a cunning Long Yangzi! He wants me to help him teach his disciples." Old man Tianji laughed and twirled his beard, and his tone changed instantly.

This conversation between the two made Luo Yan realize that they might have known each other for a long time and that they also had a past relationship with the sect's master.

Therefore, all the coldness in him was restrained and he became friendly.

"What about you, little guy? Why did your Palace Master Gongsun send you here?"

Suddenly, old man Tianji turned his head and asked Luo Yan.

Luo Yan was slightly stunned, and then he realized that the elder of the Earthly Immortal Alliance was talking about the master of the Tianji Hall of the Five Elements Sect, so he immediately replied respectfully:
"I, Luo Yan, have never met Palace Master Gongsun. Instead, I came to participate in this Immortal Fate Conference under the instruction of Elder Baimei."

"Before I came here, Elder Baimei only told me to go to the Earthly Immortal Alliance to gain some experience. He did not ask me to do anything else."

Hearing this explanation, Old Man Tianji paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "Bai Mei?"

"I have met him once before and have some impression of him. His attainments in the field of destiny are quite good."

As an antique who has lived for more than 10,000 years, and given the status of the Earthly Immortal Alliance, Old Man Tianji naturally has some understanding of the people in power in the top sects.

Especially those who have profound attainments in the field of destiny know it even better.

"It seems that the two hall masters of your Five Elements Sect are preparing for that event, otherwise they would not have set their sights on our Earthly Immortal Alliance."

Hearing this, Luo Yan felt confused, but the old man opposite had no intention of explaining.

"Since the elders of your sect have sent you two little guys to the Earthly Immortal Alliance, it means that they have made all the arrangements."

"But before that, you two need to understand one thing."

Luo Yan and Leng Zijin raised their heads at the same time, both looking seriously at the old man opposite them.

Elder Tianji smiled, but did not continue to explain. Instead, he said something meaningful:
"The predecessor of the Earthly Immortal Alliance was actually an ancient religious force called the Bixiao Palace. At that time, there was actually no difference between the Bixiao Palace and your ancient religious sects."

"But as time went by, after a series of evolutions, it gradually grew to its current size and was renamed the Earthly Immortal Alliance."

The predecessor of the Earthly Immortal Alliance, if Old Man Tianji hadn’t taken the initiative to tell it, Luo Yan really wouldn’t have known about this.

Perhaps it was too long ago, or perhaps the news within the Five Elements Sect was blocked and was affected by some external factors.

"Do you know why our Earthly Immortal Alliance can become the common respect of the human race, but not your Five Elements Sect, Tianyan Sect, or other sects and forces?"

The three of them just sat cross-legged in the hall. There was no difference in strength or status between them. They were just like old friends who got together to chat.

The things discussed involve the sages of the past.

Luo Yan and Leng Zijin had dealt with many high-level cultivators and knew that the stronger and older a person was, the more tactful they would be in their speech.

Therefore, the two of them seemed very serious and repeatedly pondered and speculated on the words of the elder of the Earth Immortal Alliance in front of them.

"Is it because of the Immortal Court?" Leng Zijin responded.

Old Man Tianji shook his head and smiled, "Not all of them."

"Are you strong enough?" Luo Yan answered tentatively.

Elder Tianji shook his head again, and then said: "Although the explanations you two gave are reasonable, they are not comprehensive enough."

"The real reason is that my Bixiao Palace is obedient enough to listen to the words of the immortals from the upper realm."

"In the future, if you two want to stay in the Earthly Immortal Alliance, you must abide by this iron rule when you receive orders from higher levels!"

After hearing this explanation, Leng Zijin was still thinking, while Luo Yan frowned.

Because he had memories of his past life, he naturally associated it with certain things.

Is this class stratification? Or is it the hegemony of the monarchy?
With this thought in mind, Luo Yan continued to ask, "Is it because the cultivators are uncontrollable?"

"It seems that young friend Luo has a pair of wise eyes that can see through the essence of the world. No wonder your Five Elements Sect would place the seeds of hope on you." Old man Tianji smiled and twirled his beard.

“Seeds of hope?”

Luo Yan's brows were twisted into a knot, and he always felt that there was a layer of fog covering his eyes, but he could never grasp it.

"A cultivator is supposed to go against the will of heaven. He must break all restraints and become a free being."

"If a practitioner is in a turbulent and chaotic era and has this kind of thought, it is a real opportunity for enlightenment."

"The great war in ancient times was caused by this."

"But in today's world, stable order has become the most important thing." Old Man Tianji pointed out.

His lineage is somewhat special and very different from ordinary members of the Earthly Immortal Alliance, so some things must be made clear in advance.

Those are the strict rules!

All the rules of the Earthly Immortal Alliance must be strictly followed!

You know, if someone who has mastered the mysterious power of destiny wants to cause destruction, he can do it silently.

Except for himself, other people would hardly notice anything unusual and would fall into it without knowing what was going on.

This has nothing to do with how strong one is, but is caused by the nature of fate.

As long as one has gained an introduction to the path of fate and mastered the true use of the cause and effect line, one can inadvertently manipulate the fate of others.

Luo Yan had been attacked silently before, not to mention other ordinary cultivators, who would probably be in a much worse situation.
If someone who knows how to manipulate fate deliberately causes destruction, the danger is beyond people's imagination, making people feel despair and fear.
