I studied abroad in modern times

The blue phoenix flapped its wings, flew across the sky, and flew towards Jiushan Sect with Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang.

Its big round head kept looking at its back, with a look of grievance and curiosity.

Zheng Fa sat on its back, supporting his head, frowning, as if there was something difficult to solve.

"Junior Brother Zheng, what are you thinking about? Why do you look unhappy?" Senior Sister Yuan's tone was full of flattery, as if she wanted to make up for her beastly nature that was exposed some time ago: "Didn't Xiao Yuying say that your Tao body is very powerful, shouldn't you be happy?"

Senior Sister Yuan's voice sounded from the blue phoenix's mouth.

"I was just thinking about what Fairy Xiao said." Zheng Fa replied, sorting out his doubts unconsciously:

"Tao body is a ticket to the Tao, so what is the Tao..."

"Why can the Tao only accommodate a limited number of cultivators?"

"And is this method of cultivation right?"

The more Zheng Fa spoke, the more confused his expression became.

A trace of human confusion appeared on Senior Sister Yuan's bird face.

She turned her head and looked at Senior Sister Zhang again, and asked, "Why is it wrong? There are so many gods in our Xuanwei Realm, haven't they always practiced like this?"

A sentence suddenly popped up in Zheng Fa's mind: It has always been like this, is it right?

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head, not knowing whether she didn't understand Zheng Fa or didn't want to explain to Senior Sister Yuan.

She just looked at Zheng Fa, as if she didn't want to disturb his thinking.

But someone wanted to disturb him.

"What Xiao Yuying said is all bullshit!"

A short figure suddenly landed on Senior Sister Yuan's back. It was the Sword Immortal Canyang, and there was a confused Yan Wushuang next to him.

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at the newcomers in surprise, wondering how these two people suddenly appeared.

Senior Sister Yuan was naturally very uncomfortable with two uninvited guests on her back, and her wings kept flapping, as if she wanted to shake them off.

With a flick of Han's hand, a Danyang fruit that Yuan Senior Sister loved the most flew from his fingertips to Yuan Senior Sister's beak. Yuan Senior Sister swallowed the fruit in one gulp, and flew even more steadily and faster than before.

"Brother Yan?"

Zheng Fa glanced at the two of them, and first greeted Yan Wushuang, who was more familiar with him, and asked him with his expression what he was here for.

"Brother Zheng..." Yan Wushuang sighed: "I'm more confused than you."

"It's not about this kid, I came to find you." Han Lao spoke: "I brought this kid with me because I was afraid that he would be killed by someone."

His tone was full of disdain for Yan Wushuang being a burden.

"Then... why did Master Han find me?"

"I'm afraid that you will be led astray by that Xiao Yuying!" Han Lao snorted and said: "You obviously have the qualifications to be on par with the ancestors, but you are on the path of those shits."

"..."

Seeing that everyone present was puzzled.

Han Lao paused, as if thinking about where to start.

"In fact, I also embarked on the path of transformation."

"Old Han?" Yan Wushuang said in surprise.

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang also widened their eyes.

This Canyang Sword Immortal is very famous in the Xuanwei Realm. Everyone knows that he is one of the strongest late-stage Yuanying cultivators, but he has not yet advanced to the transformation of the spirit. Everyone thinks that he is not qualified or lacks resources.

"I took a half step forward several times, but retreated again."

Old Han said something that surprised Zheng Fa and others even more.

Advancing to the transformation of the spirit can also be "retreated"?

Doesn't the threshold of the transformation of the spirit have any face? Let you come in and out at will.

The ability of this old man is far beyond the rumors of the Xuanwei Realm and the impression of everyone on him.

Yan Wushuang asked in confusion: "Why is this..."

"I'm scared..."

Even Zheng Fa didn't expect that this person would say these three words. With his ability, how terrifying would it be to be able to scare him or even give up the advancement to the transformation of the spirit?

"What are you afraid of, Mr. Han?" Yan Wushuang asked.

"I'm afraid that I will become something else!"

When Mr. Han said this, his eyes suddenly looked at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he had some enlightenment in his heart.

...

"It seems that you understand something." Mr. Han smiled lightly and said, "This is one of the reasons why the founder destroyed mountains and temples and confiscated the world's skills."

"Is it for this, Venerable Tianhe? Isn't it to improve his cultivation?"

Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little confused. He knew that the founder mentioned by this person could only be the Venerable Tianhe.

"Both, but the main reason is actually this." What Mr. Han said made even Yan Wushuang, the son of the head of the Tianhe Sect, show a surprised expression: "In his later years, the founder did not actually practice the current immortal methods... Those classics can only be used for his reference, and they are of no great use to his practice."

"..."

Zheng Fa was surprised.

This is different from the Venerable Tianhe he heard from Senior Sister Zhang before.

When Zheng Fa first heard what Venerable Tianhe did, he was somewhat impressed. This person had great ambitions, but he seemed to have a bad temper, and he seemed to be in a state of "those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish".

Now, it seems that there is an extra reason?

"The idea of ​​the ancestor is to break off the immortal cultivation inheritance of the last era and replace it with a new method."

"New method? The method of the natal spirit treasure?" Zheng Fa asked.

This method of the natal spirit treasure is now the first method for the Jindan stage to break through the Yuanying stage.

"What is this little trick?" Old Han sneered: "In the Xuanwei Realm today, there is no new method of the Venerable, but only the old method of the last era."

"..."

The others were getting more and more confused as they listened.

Yan Wushuang was even more shocked: "Mr. Han, why did the Patriarch cut off the inheritance of cultivating immortals? And our Tianhe Sect, aren't we the descendants of the Patriarch?"

Mr. Han sighed and said, "If I hadn't heard a lot with my ears, I wouldn't have known many secrets."

He looked at the sky, his eyes full of turbidity.

"Since ancient times, spiritual energy has been rising and falling. Our monks have been exploring the source of spiritual energy for a long time." Elder Han suddenly started talking about things from a long time ago: "This matter is actually easy to guess. Everyone who has cultivated to the Nascent Soul will be affected by it. The guidance from the top of the head, this spiritual energy should come from the outside world.”

Zheng Fa and others nodded.

"Although our current cultivation method seems to have been understood by us, in fact it was influenced by the guidance after becoming a god." Mr. Han added: "It also comes from the outside world."

This sounds reasonable.

"In fact, everyone has already reached a consensus on this matter. But His Holiness put forward another idea!" Mr. Han's tone suddenly became heavier: "This foreign method is not consistent with this world!"

"..."

Zheng Fa's eyes widened. He had many doubts in his heart:

The biggest doubt is that the runes are too complicated!

So many great powers have written their own rules, and these rules are still useful.

The stuff is nearly endless!

Even for people from the Xuanwei world who don't understand topology, just a rune system is enough to make them collapse.

"The reason given by the Patriarch is - no one in this world has ascended to immortality!"

"The Patriarch once even asserted that above the transformation of gods, one is cultivating towards the non-self."

"..."

"Not me?"

"After all, I failed to achieve the goal of transforming into gods, and I don't understand all of this." Mr. Han shook his head and said, "It's just that the founder once left a few words, saying that it seems that I am practicing in transforming gods, but what I am practicing is actually It’s someone else’s path.”

"This... is why there is such a thing as fighting over the gods?"

"Exactly!" Mr. Han snorted coldly: "This is where Xiao Yuying was confused. The Patriarch once said that the Tao should be endless, how can there be any saying about how many people can be accommodated?"

"Only heretics who do not conform to Xuanwei's world will have such restrictions!"

"It's just because this way is all man-made and inherently limited!"

"Therefore, the Patriarch is determined to cut off the old method and create a new method for the Xuanwei Realm!" Old Han's eyes were dim and he didn't know what he was thinking: "The Patriarch wants to solve this problem."

Everyone was a little silent.

Venerable Tianhe's name is praised by everyone in the world, but almost no one knows about it.

"He failed?"

"Yes." Mr. Han sighed and said, "The Patriarch was too arrogant and too confident... He did not expect that in the end, the congregation would betray their relatives and leave, and he would have to raise his sword to fight against the sky in a last-ditch effort!"

"Mr. Han? Why don't we, the Tianhe Sect, hear about these things?"

Yan Wushuang was dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, didn't you listen to me? In the end, the Patriarch betrayed all his relatives! Then let me ask you, who betrayed him?"

"I……"

"The Patriarch is too naive. He thinks that everyone will be like him, willing to do his best to open up a new path for future generations. But not everyone. Some people just want to survive with the decline of spiritual intelligence. They follow the Patriarch not because they agree with the Patriarch. The concept is that the ancestor is the strongest."

"When the new law stalled, everything changed."

"The ancestor's teachers practiced the old method, and the ancestor's brothers also practiced the old method. In the end, the ancestor's disciples couldn't help but find the old method to practice."

"The Demon Ancestor has resurrected, and there is internal turmoil." Mr. Han said softly: "This is the situation the Patriarch faced in his later years, internal and external troubles, alone, creating the world? Alas, I think the Patriarch was desperate at that time."

"This...this..."

Yan Wushuang's face turned pale, as if he had received a huge shock.

"After the Patriarch left, they even destroyed the classics recording the Patriarch's new methods, burned the essays left by the Patriarch, and executed the disciples who still supported the Patriarch."

"Now in the Xuanwei world, everyone knows the name of the ancestor, and everyone knows the method of the ancestor's natal spiritual treasure."

"Who knows about the new law?"

"Who knows the ancestor's ambition?"

"Everyone in the Tianhe Sect wears the ancestor's clothes, for fear that others will not know that they are the ancestor's descendants."

"If the Patriarch really comes back, hey! Not a single one of these people will survive!"

Mr. Han looked at Zheng Fa and suddenly smiled and said:

"So, the magic gate is bullshit, and the fairy gate is bullshit."

"I know so much, but I still can't do anything, and I don't dare to do anything."

"More bullshit!"

…

Speaking of this, Mr. Han actually looked a little uninterested.

"I don't know if my life is about to end." Mr. Han sighed and seemed to regret a little: "Seeing you being affected by Xiao Yuying, I couldn't help but say this..."

"I would also like to thank Zhenren Han for his guidance." Zheng Fadao thanked him.

"No, what Xiao Yuying said is right. Your Taoist body should be extremely powerful. You are also extremely talented. According to today's methods of cultivating immortals, you can achieve extremely high achievements!"

"After all, the Demon Ancestor is still alive, but the Patriarch is gone."

…

modern.

Zheng Fa was sitting in a chair in the nursing home, holding a book in his hand, and had been reading it all day and night.

"Teacher Bai, Zheng Fa...has he fallen out of love again?" Tang Lingwu looked at Zheng Fa's appearance and turned to ask Old Man Bai.

"...This time." The old man scratched his head and said, "He looked a bit like me when I found out I was a loser in mathematics and felt I was at the end of my rope."
