Evil Master and Disciple

"Old Senior, I kindly invited you to dinner, please don't hurt me, okay?"

Ye Feng said unhappily.

He finally realized that this old man was not a good person.

It's obvious that he wants to push himself into the fire pit.

"You're such a pervert..."

Yun Shuang'er also whispered to herself.

If the young man had said such words to her, she would have chopped him off with a sword.

But the other person is a withered old man, and I can't just attack an old man.

The old man guarding the temple chuckled and said, "As expected of Yuying's disciple, you and Master really look alike. She once scolded me for being dishonest."

"Do you know my master?" Yun Shuang'er frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.

"Yes, she was about your age then. It's a pity that when your master was young, she wasn't as pretty as you, and her cultivation wasn't as high as it is now. In the future, your achievements will far surpass your master's."

The old man was talking casually while eating.

Yun Shuang'er was even more surprised.

She always thought that the old man guarding the ancestral hall was just an ordinary person.

But unexpectedly, she had actually seen her master when he was young.

You know, her master, Jade Ying Zhenren, is over 300 years old this year, which means that the old woman had met her master 300 years ago.

The master also once scolded the old man for being indecent, which shows that the old man already looked very old three hundred years ago, otherwise the master would not have added the word "old" before "indecent".

Yun Shuang'er's heart trembled slightly, and she asked, "May I ask your name, Senior?"

The old man smiled and shook his head, saying, "No one has called my name for a long time, and I have forgotten it myself. You can just call me Senior, just like Ye Xiaozi."

Yun Shuang'er looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng winked at her and said, "Shuang'er, you'd better not ask about the old senior's background. He is a true hermit and a master, extremely powerful! Even my master and the head master have to respectfully call him ancestor!"

Yun Shuang'er's doubts grew even more pronounced.

Ye Feng has been talking nonsense since he was a child, and rarely tells the truth. Yun Shuang'er naturally doesn't believe him.

She and Ye Feng are both the 27th generation disciples of the Yunhai Sect, and their master is the 26th generation.

The Yunhai Sect now also has the 25th generation of elders, such as Xuan Chi, the chief elder of the Transmission Institute, and some supreme elders.

Even when facing a senior from the 25th generation of the Xuan family, the head master only called him uncle.

Anyone who can be called ancestor by the head master must at least be the 24th generation predecessor of the Yunhai Sect.

It is impossible that there are still twenty-four generations of predecessors alive today.

While Yun Shuang'er was lost in thought, the old man said, "Fairy Yun, do you know that you have fallen into a misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding?"

"Misconceptions in cultivation." The old man smiled and said, "I heard from Ye Xiaozi that you have some good wine. I am quite fond of fine wine. If I can drink a few glasses of fine wine, I might be able to point out the misunderstandings in your cultivation, at least to save you from a hundred years of detours."

"A hundred-year detour? Are you trying to cheat me out of the Five Grain Liquid? Do you even know how to practice?"

Looking at the old man's aged appearance, Yun Shuang'er was full of disdain.

Ye Feng quickly approached her and said, "Shuang'er, this old man really knows a lot! The old senior's simple advice to you will definitely benefit you for the rest of your life!"

Yun Shuang'er looked at the old man's slightly mysterious expression and thought, could it be that I really was wrong before?

She hesitated for a moment, then took out a jar of five-grain liquid from her storage bag.

Ye Feng had already prepared three wine bowls.

Unexpectedly, Sanzhier, who was gnawing on a big bone, saw Yunshuanger take out the wine jar and immediately squeaked excitedly.

Last time, not only Ye Feng was drunk, but it was also drunk.

That feeling of floating in the air was so wonderful that I was drunk for two days before waking up.

"Haha, you little green-haired boy want to drink too? Okay, I'll give you some."

Ye Feng took out another white porcelain bowl, poured some for Sanzhier, and placed it in front of it.

Sanzhier was overjoyed. He stuck out his tongue like a small building and licked it a few times. Immediately, the hair on his body stood up and he began to show his teeth.

Then I started drinking again...

Pain and happiness, perhaps that's what it is like now.

The old man also picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really a good wine, not bad, not bad..."

Yun Shuang'er said, "I've already drunk the wine, but I'd like to hear what the senior has to say about the misunderstandings in cultivation."

Different people may experience the same scenery in different ways. The same is true for cultivating the Tao.

Yun Shuang'er has always been proud and conceited. She has reached such a level at the age of 24. She has always believed that her cultivation is completely correct.

Even her master often praised her, saying that she had grasped the essence of the Yunhai Jue at such a young age and had found the fastest shortcut in spiritual practice in the shortest time.

Now that the old man told her that her cultivation had gone astray and she hadn't seen the most beautiful scenery, she felt a little dissatisfied.

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "Since the birth of mankind, cultivation has come into being. The era in which our ancient ancestors lived was full of dangers. In order to cope with various dangers from nature and attacks from wild beasts, and to enable themselves to hunt prey more efficiently, they began to practice.

From practicing running to increase strength, to later cultivating Qi, Yuanli, and Shenhun, the continuous exploration of countless ancestors gradually formed the current cultivation system.

No matter which sect's method of cultivation, it is just a practice method summarized from exploring the laws of the universe and developing one's own potential.

There is no absolutely correct method of cultivation.

The Yunhai Jue of our Yunhai Sect is a fusion of several powerful cultivation methods of the Yunhai Sect in the past, so there are even more misunderstandings.

Even with the same cultivation method, everyone's understanding of it may be different, and of course there is no such thing as a truly correct path to cultivation."

Yun Shuang'er looked at the old man and said calmly, "Since there is no truly correct path to cultivation, how can there be any talk of misunderstandings?"

The old man chuckled and said, "This is only relative. The ultimate goal of a cultivator is strength. Just like from here to Xingluo Peak, there are ten different roads. The end of each road can reach Xingluo Peak, but the length of each road and the conditions encountered along the way are different. Some roads are bumpy, some roads are winding, some roads are covered with thorns, some roads are full of smoke and miasma, and some roads will even encounter attacks from wild beasts.

Of these ten roads, only one is relatively straight and safe, allowing people to reach their destination the fastest. This road is called the Heavenly Path by monks. While other roads can also reach the destination, they will take a long time and may even lead to mistakes, going in circles, and even losing one's life.

Yun Shuang'er looked thoughtful when she heard this, as if she felt that what the old man said did make some sense.

She took a sip of wine and looked up, "I don't think I've taken the wrong path. At least from now on, it seems like the path I'm taking is the fastest. In the past thousand years of Yunhai Sect, no one has been faster than me."

The old man who guarded the temple nodded and said, "I don't deny this. Unfortunately, the reason you're moving fast isn't because you chose the right path, but because of your talent and hard work.

Let me ask you a few questions. How long did it take you to advance from the peak of the Sky Control Realm to the God Control Realm?"

Yun Shuang'er thought for a moment and said proudly, "Seven months."

The old man asked, "How long did it take you to move from the Divine Control Realm to the Origin Return Realm?"

Yun Shuang'er said, "About six years."

The old man guarding the temple didn't say anything else, but continued to drink and eat.

Yun Shuang'er was a little confused and asked, "And then?"

"Young man Ye, how long did it take you to advance from the Sky Control Realm to the God Control Realm?"

Ye Feng, who was eating and drinking, was stunned and said, "More than two months, what happened?"

"How is it possible... stop talking nonsense."

Yun Shuang'er suddenly stood up, in disbelief.

Ye Feng was a little confused and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. The day I was released from the stone prison in the Discipline Courtyard, I just reached the Sky Control Realm. Some time ago, I had already condensed my Yuan Shen and reached the God Control Realm. It shouldn't have been more than three months."

Yun Shuang'er looked incredulous.

The old man who guarded the temple smiled and said, "Well, Fairy Yun, now you understand that you are not taking the fastest path.

It took you seven months to reach the level of controlling the gods from the sky, and another six years to reach the level of returning to the origin from the level of controlling the gods.

If you continue to practice according to your own self-righteous ideas, it will take you at least forty to fifty years to reach the state of divine tranquility, and you may be able to reach the state of heaven and man before you are two hundred years old.

Indeed, this speed of cultivation has surpassed most of the cultivators in the world today. Even in the 4,000-year history of Yunhai Sect, there are not many predecessors who can make such progress in cultivation.

However, Ye Xiaozi only needs to spend half of your time, or even less.

Cultivation is not just about talent, opportunity and hard work, it also requires finding the right path.

Fairy Yun, you have been secretly practicing the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique at Luoxia Peak recently, haven't you?

Yun Shuang'er was silent, she seemed like a white swan that had been hit.

The old man continued, "It's difficult for you to control the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, isn't it?"

Yun Shuang'er nodded and said, "I just reached the Guiyuan Realm not long ago. My master said it's normal that I can't control the Zhantian Sword Technique."

The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "Your master didn't find the right path either. Sword skills and cultivation methods are the same. You need to find the right path.

Since you treated me to some fine wine tonight, I'll give you a few pointers. Heaven is the Way, and slashing the Heavens is going against the Way. The Heaven Slashing Art is as famous as the Divine Sword Lightning Art because its power is unimaginable.

Since you know the practice formula of Zhan Tian Zhen Jue, I will not elaborate on it. What I want to tell you is that the source of the spiritual power of Zhan Tian Zhen Jue is the Yuan Shen. Not to mention Gui Yuan Realm, even Yu Shen Realm can activate it.

The key to the problem lies in going against the flow, not in going with it.

As the saying goes, those who go against the will of heaven become immortals, while those who follow the will of heaven become mortals. You should understand this well."

Yun Shuang'er's expression changed drastically.

The old man's words tonight shattered her understanding of the Heaven-Slaying Art.

She had always thought that her cultivation was insufficient, so no matter how hard she tried, she could not control the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique.

I thought that if I could reach the peak of Guiyuan realm, I might be able to master this move.

But the old man said that in order to activate the Zhantian Sword Technique, one does not need to reach the Guiyuan Realm at all, as long as one reaches the Yushen Realm.

She wanted to refute the old man, but she didn't know how.

I had a very strong feeling in my heart that what the old man said was right.

Ye Feng originally had an attitude of not caring about the matter.

At this moment, his eyes were shining.

He poured wine for the old man attentively and said flatteringly, "Old senior, I just heard you say that even those in the Divine Control Realm can activate the Heaven-Severing Sword Technique? I have reached the Divine Control Realm now... Could you please teach me a few tricks?"

The old man squinted at him and said, "Boy, you're only a little old, and you want to learn the Heaven-Severing Sword Technique? Although the Divine Control Realm can activate it, it also has a strong backlash on yourself. You'd better honestly reach the Origin Return Realm before learning the Heaven-Severing Sword Technique."

"Oh, old senior... my most beloved ancestor..." Ye Feng went straight behind the old man and massaged his shoulders and back attentively.

"You know my situation. There are many people who want to harm me. I just want to learn some skills to protect myself. As for the backlash... I won't use it unless it's a life-or-death situation! Just tell me directly, what does the "Ni" in the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique you just mentioned mean? I'll figure out the rest myself!"

Ye Feng is so shameless.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to learn so many skills and supernatural powers from the old man in such a short period of time.

Unable to bear Ye Feng's pestering, the old man said, "Come on, come on, come on. Don't you claim to be a poet with a wealth of knowledge? Write a poem based on this scene. If you can satisfy me, I will tell you the essence of this word "Ni".

"You said it...don't play tricks!"
