My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 95: The Countdown Begins for Old Monster Bai's Terrifying Reputation

Regarding the sword energy lock on the Azure Vine Immortal Sword, under Bai Chijing's deliberate guidance, it was successfully achieved after six hours. It turned out that a single "Sword-Unlocking Immortal Pill" was all it took.

"A pill from the outer realms?"

While pills of this level are difficult to refine, they are not entirely impossible.

After all, Bai Chijing knew where to find a large quantity of the core ingredient in the pill formula, the Sword Returning Pill.

Furthermore, his Celestial Furnace is almost fully repaired.

This treasure can significantly shorten the time required for alchemy. Even without a core, it can reduce the time required to refine pills in the Outer Phase Realm by more than half. Once the core is added, its power will be even more extraordinary.

So Bai Chijing said to Huai Qiaoqiao, "Although this mountain is abrupt, no matter who comes here, they will subconsciously ignore it and will not remember it after they leave."

This mountain was formed by his inspired self and the boundless power of heaven and earth. His mental power is naturally omnipresent on this mountain.

Then, Bai Chijing left.

He needs to continue improving his weapon-forging skills.

Although he can now refine magical artifacts, the fact that he only managed to create such a mediocre flying magical artifact with such excellent materials shows that he still has a lot of room for improvement.

After Bai Chijing left, Huai Qiaoqiao did not leave again. In the past, when she went to other places, it was only to avoid revealing her true identity. But now, she had not only re-established contact with Bai Chijing, but her true identity was also protected by Bai Chijing's supernatural abilities, so there was naturally no need for her to do anything superfluous.

Although Bai Chijing said he had overcome all eight tribulations, his ability to "rise from the ground" alone is no different from that of a terrestrial immortal in the outer realm.
From then on, the Shadow King, one of the Twelve Heavenly Demon Kings, seemed to have vanished, never to appear in the human world again.

Then, the War King "Withered Bones Without Love," who had a brief conversation with the Shadow Demon King before his disappearance, immediately put his mind to it after realizing the matter. He did some serious thinking, mainly involving some mental calculations, and then... he took his human demons and hid away.

As for the "Withered Bones Without Love" move, although the other ten Heavenly Demon Kings did not understand why, it did not stop them from following suit and concealing themselves in the same way.

These cunning demons from the outer realms are truly treacherous!
However, in doing so, this powerful force that had already taken shape in the world of Yaotian vanished without a trace.

This astonished many people in the immortal sects.

What are these monsters trying to do?

Within the Wuxin Sect, after hearing this news from their disciples, some cultivators at the Outer Aspect Realm sought out a Senior Outer Aspect Realm cultivator within their sect.

Although there are still more than twenty people in the Mind Cultivation Sect who have reached the external realm, none of them can compare with this person.

Because this foreign minister is none other than Wen!
Once the number one among the terrestrial immortals, and the strongest in the mortal realm of Yaotian, he, like Bai Chijing, chose to separate his cultivation from that of a terrestrial immortal, and his true body, with the cultivation of the Upper Realm of Outer Appearance, stepped into the mortal realm.

More than a hundred years ago, under the coercion of a young Taoist disciple, I had no choice but to admit that the mind cultivation method of the Chanxin Buddhist sect was superior to that of other cultivators of the Wuxin sect in terms of external appearance. This is also the story of Wen Ye.

After all, only when this former top-ranked figure bows down can the Zen Heart Buddhist sect gain a foothold.

Wen was also somewhat confused upon hearing this news.

"Grandmaster, we do not know."

"However, it shouldn't be anything serious. Most likely, these monsters are afraid of our immortal sects."

"Absolutely! Absolutely! This is exactly how it should be!"

The cultivators from the Outer Realm of the Wuxin Sect who arrived this time all said the same thing.

Wen Ye was about to attain enlightenment in less than a thousand years, but he succeeded because of his own "Wu Xin Dao" (the Way of No Heart) and failed because of it. Wu Xin Shan, this mountain that is like a castle in the air, although it shows Wen Ye's near-immortal methods, is also proof of Wen Ye's failure on the path of cultivation.

However, although Wen Ye's path to immortality was blocked, and his cultivation regressed just as he was about to push open the gate to immortality, the lifespan of cultivators in the upper realms of the outer world is unimaginably long.

Nearly 30,000 years!

Therefore, Wen Ye, who still exists today, has an extremely high seniority within the Wuxin Sect, and everyone who sees him must call him Ancestor.

When Wen heard the answers from his juniors, he wasn't surprised, as they had always been like this. However, upon hearing these words, he couldn't help but frown.

Because these younger generations cultivate arrogance.

Because of their privileged background, it is easiest for them to enter the Dao with this arrogant heart, and it is also the easiest way for them to achieve certain results in their cultivation.

At the very least, one is guaranteed to reach the initial stage of the Outer Appearance realm.

Tu Jian Mountain has Enlightenment Pills, but their Wu Xin Sect does not. However, they have other methods. The most unique aspect of mind cultivation lies in the cultivation of the mind, so the Wu Xin Sect has created some special methods through generations of inheritance.

Even the worst talent for "seeing the Dao" cultivation can be cultivated to the initial stage of external appearance by relying on these methods and entering the Dao with an arrogant heart.

However, the cultivation resources required by these methods are naturally a very large amount.

After all, in the early stages of spiritual cultivation, one cannot create something from nothing.

The ability to create something from nothing, which one gradually masters in the middle and later stages, is not actually about creating something from nothing; it comes at the cost of one's own cultivation and even the flow of Qi.

Wen Ye didn't have any objection to the fact that many of his sect's younger generation entered the Dao with arrogance, since it was acceptable to enter the Dao with any mindset within the lineage passed down from their ancestor. As for the issue of cultivation resources, he didn't care much about it.

It would be more appropriate to apply this to the descendants of one's own sect's disciples rather than to a mere novice disciple. After all, the former might only have a momentary lapse in judgment to betray the sect, while the latter would have to consider many more factors before doing so.

Furthermore, even if resources are given to some talented lay disciples, very few will eventually be able to cultivate to the Outer Heaven Realm.

"However, perhaps the rules within the sect should be changed..."

At this moment, Wen Ye inevitably had these thoughts.

It’s different in the past.

He hadn't cared in the past, but now, looking at the disciples who had entered the sect with such arrogance, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If Wuxin Sect continues like this, and something happens to him one day and he is unable to return to the sect, can these disciples still maintain their position as one of the six great immortal sects of Yaotian?
The author originally wouldn't have had this thought, even with the peerless immortal Ling Jia and the little Daoist boy, his strength in this Yao Tian mortal realm was still among the best.

However, after witnessing the battle between the immortal swords a hundred years ago, and after Bai Chijing was killed by the heavens, Wen no longer had the idea of ​​sitting back and fishing.

He was also afraid of being killed by that day.

He didn't have the confidence or assurance that Bai Chijing could recover after being struck by the heavens.

So Wen also asked, "Where is Bai Chijing right now?"

"Is the Patriarch seeking revenge for his junior disciple Xu Jiexin? Bai Chijing is indeed despicable; he thwarted junior disciple Xu's resolve to enter the Dao, and he truly deserves to die!"

"Bai Chijing even forced some of us fellow disciples to hand over a sum of money to buy our lives!"

"This traitor deserves to die!"

Hearing these words from his own disciples, Wen felt a sense of helplessness. At the same time, he thought of how he had been forced by a young Taoist a hundred years ago to admit in public that he was inferior to the Chanxin Buddhist sect. In an instant, he had some strange thoughts.

Then he coldly shouted, "What kind of behavior is this!"

Although Wen did not use any supernatural means, his Daoist mind was "without mind." Although he could exhibit a peaceful and gentle side in a way that could lead to the opposite of what is expected, people would subconsciously feel close to him and would involuntarily speak their innermost thoughts when facing him.

But it can also allow this mind that seeks enlightenment to reveal its most authentic side.

For a moment, all the practitioners of the Wuxin Sect's Outer Realm of Mind Cultivation present were utterly silent and terrified.

“A hundred years ago, the senior monks of the Chanxin Buddhist sect owed me a favor. I was the one who gave them the fortune to establish themselves. One of you should go and remind them that they should repay this favor,” Wen Ye said calmly.

He didn't put it too clearly, but those in the Chanxin Buddhist sect would understand what he meant.

And indeed, it turned out exactly as Wenye had predicted.

When the Wuxin Sect sent five disciples to the Three Refuges City, all four temples except the Bodhisattva Temple said they would repay Wenye for the favor he had done back then.

As for the Bodhisattva Temple, there was no statement, simply because the temple had been closed for a hundred years.

……

The Three Refuges reside within the city.

Although the Chanxin Buddhist sect has long since spread out and established Buddhist temples in the five major dynasties, its roots are still in this city of the Three Refuges.

After all, within this city, there is a Heart Buddha Domain formed by the intervention of a Daoist.

Although Daojun does not practice Buddhism, the Mind-Buddha Realm evolved from such a person is naturally not on the same level as the Mind-Buddha Realm evolved by others.

"Namo Amitabha!"

"A hundred years ago, Bai Chijing killed my Buddhist elder brother, Master Suitian. A hundred years later, Bai Chijing should repay the debt of karma to my Buddhist sect by giving him a Vajra Protector."

Within each of the four Buddhist temples, there were individuals equivalent to the monk Sui Tian Chan of that time, who then spoke and made this decision.

Back then, Bai Chijing's karma was complicated, involving the celestial being Tai'a. Even their Chanxin Buddhist sect dared not get too involved.

After all, to be precise, Tai'a and their Buddhist sect are still considered to be on the same side.

But now, the traces of swordsmanship on Bai Chijing's body have disappeared. The complex cause and effect that made them wary, and the twelve extremely vicious sword techniques, have all become things of the past.

Therefore, even without the favor from Wuxin Sect, the four temples had already decided to convert Baichi Jing.

After all, it's obvious to everyone that two hundred years from now, when the Dao Lord's shackles disappear, Bai Chijing will surely enter the ranks of immortals!

A future terrestrial deity, a Vajra protector, can play a crucial role for their Buddhist sect in this mortal realm.

Many of them, although they could possess cultivation levels equivalent to terrestrial immortals at that time, relied on incense offerings and were unable to provide them themselves!
