The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Bai Yuan and Xu Wan followed Jiuyang's steps closely and walked out of Laojun Pavilion step by step.

They walked along the winding stone steps for an unknown amount of time before finally reaching the majestic peak of the Nine Suns Divine Sect.

At this time, Bai Yuan and Xu Wan stood side by side, on both sides of Jiuyang, and wherever they looked, they saw the beautiful scenery that was refreshing and pleasant.

As expected, just as the rumors say, standing at the highest point to see the scenery, the broad view and magnificent scenery are incomparable to ordinary times.

Xu Wan stood quietly on a high place, gazing deeply at the magnificent scenery below.

Lingshan Academy, this school of cultivation located on the top of a mountain on the continent, is like a fairyland isolated from the world.

It is majestic and magnificent, shrouded in clouds and mist, as if it is as old as the heaven and earth, and as bright as the sun and the moon.

As a treasure of the world of cultivation, Lingshan Academy takes it as its mission to train disciples to ascend to the heavens, and shoulders the heavy responsibility of inheriting the immortal way and promoting justice.

Here, countless cultivators, dreaming of ascending to heaven, practice diligently in pursuit of immortality.

As a disciple of Lingshan, Xu Wan is full of awe and yearning for this magical land.

I saw the clear spiritual spring water gurgling down from the top of the towering mountain, its momentum was like the upside-down Milky Way, and it was as magnificent as a waterfall.

The spring water sparkles with crystal light under the sunlight, as if it contains endless vitality and vigor.

The surrounding area is lush and green, like a green ocean.

These trees are either tall and straight, or short and graceful, their branches and leaves interweave to form a green dome in the sky.

It adds a bit of tranquility and mystery to this lively spring.

The breeze blows, the leaves rustle, and the sound of the spring water interweaves into a pleasant song of nature, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in a fairyland on earth.

Xu Wan lowered her head slightly, her gaze fixed on where she was standing.

This is a huge Bagua platform with intricate patterns on it, which seems to contain some kind of mysterious power.

She couldn't help but look up at Jiuyang beside her, only to see that Jiuyang's eyes were staring straight ahead, deep and firm, as if he was staring at something important.

Xu Wan felt a little confused and said slowly, "Master, you brought me here not just to enjoy this magnificent scenery, right?"

Her voice was soft, but with a firmness that could not be ignored.

Upon hearing this, Jiuyang tilted his head slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

He smiled slightly, as if ready to reveal the real purpose of bringing Xu Wan here.

He looked at Xu Wan and Bai Yuan with deep eyes, and began to explain to them the true meaning of Taoism.

“Practicing Taoism is not about becoming an immortal, but about cultivating compassion.

Reciting scriptures is not about memorizing a text, but about purifying your mind.

A true practitioner is not a collector of magical instruments, nor a traveler to temples or Taoist temples.

They are those who revere the law of cause and effect, and are free and at ease in their hearts.”

Bai Yuan bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Disciple understands."

His eyes were firm, as if he had understood the profound meaning of Master Jiuyang's words.

Xu Wan, who was standing aside, was puzzled by the Taoism that True Man Jiuyang was talking about. She touched her head and a confused look appeared on her face.

Seeing this, True Man Jiuyang smiled kindly and said, "Jinglian, you will slowly understand."

Then, Jiuyang looked straight ahead with a firm gaze and spoke slowly, his voice filled with endless depth and philosophy:

“Whatever I lose is no longer mine.

Whatever I seek, I am trapped by it.

Everything is for my use, not for my possession.

A gentleman is the initiator of things, not the initiator of things. This is the true meaning of our practice."

His words reveal a profound understanding and transcendence of all things in the world.

"The great way is simplicity. To be without desire is to be strong. To do nothing is to be able to do anything."

These brief yet powerful words once again demonstrated Jiuyang's unique insights into Taoism.

Every word contains endless wisdom and enlightenment, which makes people fall into deep thought.

Bai Yuan stared at Jiuyang's back quietly, with deep gratitude surging in his heart.

He understood that every word and every action of his master contained endless wisdom and profound meaning.

The Master's words just now were undoubtedly a wake-up call for him, warning him not to indulge in worldly thoughts and to maintain inner clarity and determination.

This teaching was like a gentle spring breeze, nourishing his heart and making him suddenly enlightened.

Bai Yuan secretly vowed to remember his master's teachings, constantly cultivate his own mind, not be shaken by the prosperity and temptations of the outside world, and firmly follow his own path of cultivation.

Xu Wan was already standing in the center, gazing deeply at the mysterious Bagua platform beneath her feet.

Being able to stand here is undoubtedly a great honor and affirmation for her.

It symbolized Jiuyang's recognition and expectations of her strength, making her feel unprecedented pride and honor at this moment.

She was seen holding a long sword and dancing gracefully on this ancient Bagua platform.

Her steps were light and agile, like a butterfly flitting among flowers. Every turn and every jump she made landed precisely on the patterns of the Bagua platform, as if she had some kind of wonderful resonance with the platform.

Jiuyang and Bai Yuan suddenly sensed Xu Wan's footsteps.

They turned around at the same time, their eyes flashing with surprise and curiosity.

Xu Wan in front of him was like a fairy who had descended to earth. Her beautiful dance moves added a unique charm to the quiet Bagua platform.

She danced with the sword lightly and gracefully, as if she had become one with the sword.

Suddenly, she slid her right foot across the Bagua platform, and a graceful arc appeared, forming a perfect circle in an instant.

Bai Yuan watched her dance quietly, his eyes full of surprise.

He recalled in disbelief the sword dance he taught her this morning. She had learned those complicated steps and movements with just one look, and danced so smoothly and freely.

At the side, Jiuyang looked at Bai Yuan curiously, with a puzzled glint in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you teach this dance?"

Bai Yuan faced Jiuyang with a solemn expression, bowed, and replied, "Master, this is what I taught you today."

Upon hearing this, Jiuyang nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Not bad."

At this time, Xu Wan was dancing gracefully, her body soaring lightly into the air like a nimble swallow.

In the air, her body was spinning, and every movement was full of rhythm and beauty.

When her toes lightly touched the Bagua platform, a miracle happened. The platform emitted a dazzling golden light and then slowly rotated.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yuan's heart became nervous. He stared at Xu Wan closely, fearing that she might encounter an accident.

However, Xu Wan seemed to be completely unaffected. She was still concentrating on dancing on the rotating Bagua platform, and each movement became more and more smooth and perfect.

The sword in her hand suddenly disappeared without a trace.

She then sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, her hands gently placed on her knees on both sides, her fingers slightly bent, as if accumulating some mysterious power.

She took a deep breath and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Her whole aura became more peaceful and profound.

At the same time, the Bagua platform was still slowly turning, making a low and long sound.

Jiuyang and Bai Yuan just stared at Xu Wan quietly, their eyes full of amazement and confusion.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "No wonder..."

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why his master made an exception and accepted this female disciple.

You know, Taoism has never accepted female disciples, but Xu Wan's potential and talent obviously moved everyone.

It seems that she will become a great nun of Lingshan in the future, leading Taoism to new glory.
