If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 535: Opening a sect also requires taking advantage of the times

Doctor Huang said that they had to walk through the territory of the evil demon tribe. Although he did not emphasize the word "walking", Yingjiu gritted his teeth and walked on foot. No matter what problems he encountered, he did not ask Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang for help. When he was hungry, he ate the dry food he brought with him, and when he was thirsty, he looked for river water to drink.

Although he was very lucky not to encounter any ferocious monsters, he was attacked by wild beasts several times, and Yingjiu escaped death every time.

Even though Li Yanmo said that he had extra food, Yingjiu gritted his teeth and insisted that he didn't need it.

In just a few days, Yingjiu had a lot more white hair on his head, and his pale skin became sallow and rough.

Judging from the current situation, even if Yingjiu had not encountered the ferocious demon clan, there would be no way for him to reach Juezhou. This is simply not a path that a mortal can take.

And these past few days, Yingjiu has never closed his eyes.

Li Yanmo felt that this matter was not simple, "Brother Leng, go back to Yinmu Town to check on Xiao Cui's condition."

Leng Ningshuang thought for a moment and nodded, then turned around and returned the same way as quickly as possible.

After Leng Ningshuang left, Li Yanmo landed beside Yingjiu, put his hands behind his back and started talking.

"Yingjiu, how old were you and Xiaocui when you first met?"

"Replying to the Immortal, Xiao Cui and I have known each other since we were three years old. I was naughty at that time and always bullied her, hoping to get her attention in this way. I was beaten a lot, and every time it was Xiao Cui who pleaded for me." When the question about his acquaintance with Xiao Cui was mentioned, the exhausted Yingjiu seemed to have endless strength and cheered up again.

Yingjiu spoke excitedly, while Li Yanmo listened quietly on the side.

During this time, Leng Ningshuang also rushed back to Yinmu Town and came to Xiaocui's house. At this time, there was an unexpected guest at Xiaocui's house. The moment she saw the other person's appearance, Leng Ningshuang exclaimed in surprise, "Why is it you!?"

The young man raised his head slightly, turned around and smiled at Leng Ningshuang, "Long time no see, Brother Leng."

"Daohai, why are you here?!"

That’s right, the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in Xiao Cui’s house was Daohai, a disciple of Buddhism.

Facing Leng Ningshuang's questioning, Dao Hai simply scratched his face and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Leng would actually come back. Could it be that... Brother Li saw through my thoughts?"

Leng Ningshuang was stunned and furious, "You guys have been waiting for Brother Li and I to leave outside Yinmu Town!?"

"Yes and no, but judging by the way it's presented, it's certainly true," Dao Hai stroked his bald head. "I was worried that Brother Li would come back with a surprise attack, so I waited for a few days. I didn't expect him to see through even my little trick. As expected of Brother Li, hmmm..."

Leng Ningshuang was confused by Dao Hai's statement, but she quickly reacted, "Stop talking nonsense! What on earth are you Buddhists doing? What do you want to do in Ghost State?"

Dao Hai didn't show any displeasure at Leng Ningshuang's provocative questioning. "Brother Leng, why are you so angry? How about having some snacks and some tea, and then we can talk slowly?"

A man came over, carrying snacks and smoking hot tea.

"I'll eat you—"

Leng Ningshuang originally wanted to pour the hot tea on Hai's head, but when she saw the face of the person who brought the hot tea and snacks, she was stunned again.

"Xiao Cui!?"

Xiao Cui, who was holding the plate, had a flash of eyes and nodded slightly.

Looking at the incredibly healthy and rosy Xiao Cui in front of him, Leng Ningshuang was stunned for a long time, then turned to look at Dao Hai, raised his finger in disbelief, "You, you, you——" "Brother Leng, I don't know Miss Xiao Cui, I hope you don't think too clichéd."

Leng Ningshuang's fingers stopped shaking immediately, her eyes flickering as she guiltily changed the subject, "What the hell is going on? What exactly do you Buddhists want to do?!"

Dao Hai took the teacup from Xiao Cui, thought for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "Brother Leng, do you believe in karma? If a person commits too many sins in life, he will go to hell and suffer torture after death until he pays for his sins?"

Leng Ningshuang frowned. She was a straightforward person and didn't like others to answer with rhetorical questions, but Daohai was the only person who could answer her doubts now, and she couldn't beat Daohai, so she could only listen to Daohai's stories.

"If that's true, wouldn't hell have been overcrowded long ago?" Leng Ningshuang asked with a sneer, her arms folded across her chest.

Leng Ningshuang just wanted to taunt Dao Hai, but to her surprise, Dao Hai actually nodded and sighed, "Yes, it will be overcrowded. Even if there were another eighteen levels of hell, it wouldn't be enough. This world is really too big."

Leng Ningshuang was stunned, and her expression gradually became serious. "So what does this have to do with Ghost State?"

"How can it not matter? It matters so much. There has to be a place to store it. There has to be a place for the sinners to pay for the sins they committed in their lifetime until all their sins are paid for."

"Death can never erase the sins you have committed. It is not the end, but the beginning."

Dao Hai picked up his teacup and took a sip. "It was precisely because of this realization that the Ghost Sect's first immortal was able to officially advance from semi-immortal to the realm of immortal. He willingly sat in meditation and passed away, allowing his small world to become part of the vast universe."

Dao Hai began to sigh as he spoke.

"Strategic vision is also an indispensable element of cultivation."

"That's how most super sects came into being. Now that there aren't that many vacancies in the universe, it's going to be hard to become a super sect anymore."

“It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a dividend of the times.”

Leng Ningshuang frowned the entire time, ignoring Dao Hai's playful complaints, "Is it really that simple?"

“If you don’t delve deeper, it’s really just simplicity.”

"What if we delve deeper?"

"Then we have to start from the terrible damage that cultivators who take shortcuts in cultivation will cause to the world and the terrible loopholes they will create," Dao Hai shook the teacup in his hand, his eyes deep.

"People only live one life, and that life is only a hundred years long. No matter how much sin you commit, how many more years will you have left?"

"But it's different for monks. A hundred years is just the beginning for them. The sins they need to repay and clear are beyond the reach of mortals."

Leng Ningshuang thought about it and couldn't help but complain, "I'm afraid it's impossible to count them all."

"As long as you are willing to count, you will be able to count them all sooner or later, but the problem is that monks have too many ways to come back to life after death," Dao Hai stared at the tea in the cup that kept shaking and seemed about to spill at any time.

"If we want to strengthen the Ghost Sect's lineage, the key lies in how we deal with the death of our cultivators."

"It was the Ghost Sect's second immortal who realized this that truly established the Ghost Sect's status as a super sect. The Ghost Sect's disciples were also recognized by the Dao Pillar for the correctness of their Daoist tradition, and their cultivation bottlenecks were far lower than those of other Daoist sects."

"And this ghost state was completely completed from that day on."
