The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Since that day, Mu Yingsheng buried this matter deep in his heart and waited anxiously.

Until that day, the heaven and earth roared, and a senior brother passed away after becoming a spirit. To be more precise, he passed away after searching his mind and overcame the tribulation, and thus entered the Central Region.

"Senior brother, you are almost there too, right?" Ji Changfeng stood beside Mu Yingsheng, looking at the roaring strange phenomenon in the distance, and asked calmly.

Mu Yingsheng didn't answer, but stared blankly at the strange scene in the distance. After a long while, he replied in a daze, "I don't want this to happen."

Ji Changfeng seemed to have expected this and turned to look at him: "Brother, I am not going to enter the Dao either. I will die and enter the cycle of reincarnation. If you have any wish, I can help you."

Hearing this, Mu Yingsheng looked at him with a deep and open gaze. "The world is our chessboard, and all living beings are our chess pieces. One person alone may not be able to turn the tide. I want to give it a try. Let's make the entire Tianhun Sect stand for her. How about exchanging the luck of over three hundred people for her?"

Ji Changfeng smiled and replied, "It's his ill-fated fate. We can only find a way forward for her. It's up to her to decide how to proceed."

…Time returns to the present…

"So, you thought of gathering the entire sect to separate the body and the soul to increase lifespan?" Sinan asked in surprise.

Mu Yingsheng nodded, his eyes filled with apology and regret, but also with a hint of joy at having gotten what he wanted. "Yes, for the sake of the otherworldly soul that has yet to appear in the celestial phenomenon, I have gathered the entire sect and persevered until now to comply with the aid of that celestial phenomenon."

A soul from another world... Hu Xingtong listened and thought of herself. There was a hint of fear in her eyes when she looked at Mu Yingsheng. She didn't know whether the other party had seen through her identity, and she didn't dare to confirm it.

[What are you worried about?] Chen Wu noticed Hu Xingtong's sudden change of mood and asked with concern.

"Has he figured out my identity?"

[I don't know, but you can ask Sinan first.]

While Hu Xingtong was pondering, Mu Yingsheng looked at Sinan and asked, "Young man, do you know how to stabilize your spiritual consciousness?"

Sinan nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Then please help me check on the disciples in my secret room and confirm the condition of their spirits and bodies. I need to take Hu Xiaoyou to repair these formations to prevent the broken formations from harming the disciples outside."

Sinan listened, a little hesitant. Coincidentally, Hu Xingtong came to his senses at this moment, and after noticing what Mu Yingsheng said, he looked at Sinan and said, "If you're scared, I'll go with you first. I'll come help Senior Mu after you're done."

However, after hearing what Hu Xingtong said, Si Nan felt embarrassed. He stood up and walked directly towards the library, shouting, "It's okay, I'm not afraid."

Hu Xingtong watched and smiled. No matter how much Sinan thought about, he would still hesitate when facing something he was afraid of. A move of retreating to advance was enough to control him.

Looking at the instigator again, the man had already tasted several cups of tea. Hu Xingtong knew that he had sent Si Nan away calmly this time because he had something to say to him, and of course it was also a chance for him to ask whatever he wanted to ask.

"Senior, do you have something to say to me?"

Hearing this, Mu Yingsheng in front of Hu Xingtong chuckled lightly, then asked, "Shouldn't you be the one asking me this?"

Hu Xingtong, a modern man, was no match for these old foxes who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years. He asked directly, "When did the senior wake up?"

"When you enter here."

"How can I be sure it's me and not the few people I'm traveling with?"

Mu Yingsheng turned to look at him, his eyes fixed on Hu Xingtong's, and smiled, "Your eyes are very special. They should be able to see the essence of everything. Then don't you see that I am still incomplete at this moment?"

Hearing this, Hu Xingtong was stunned, and then he figured out a key point in the words: incomplete. How incomplete is it?

"What do you mean?"

Seeing her obvious panic, Mu Yingsheng smiled and continued, "We in the Tianhun Sect are all cultivators of the Dao of Life. Everyone's path to enlightenment is different, but the end result is the same. Prying into the secrets of heaven always comes at a price. My junior brother lost his spiritual veins after seeing the secrets of heaven. He neither cultivated immortality nor became a demon, and ended up not being able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. As for me... my soul is trapped in my flesh. I'm neither a corpse nor an immortal. I don't know what I am."

"Then, Senior, the four sects and four schools in the celestial phenomena were originally destiny. Why did you still end up like this?"

"Hmph, it's destiny, but I didn't follow the timing. My actions this time were within destiny but also outside the trajectory. It's like substituting one thing for another, you know? The result was right, but the process was wrong, so I'm being punished."

"But why do you have to do this? Wouldn't it be better to wait and see?"

Mu Yingsheng raised his hand, condensing a star pattern in his hand. Pointing at it, he said to her, "The pattern that appeared within the destiny at this moment, the five-star flame, sealed within the star pattern, is truly powerful. I'm thinking that if this person refuses to be bound by so-called destiny, she should have enough strength to break through. What then should be done with the people in this world who await her arrival?"

Hu Xingtong looked at the star text. Wasn't this the symbol of his Lone Star identity? His scalp went numb for a moment, and he didn't even dare to look into Mu Yingsheng's eyes.

"I believe in destiny, but I don't want to trust human nature. You know, every time the four sects and four schools accept disciples, they will examine destiny once, and only accept those with strong character and pure heart. As for this so-called destiny person, destiny has been determined by heaven, and we don't know what kind of person they are. I can't pin the future of the people on one person, nor do I want one person to bear the shackles. So, we in the Tianhun Sect have collectively decided to stay and see if this person is qualified."

Hu Xingtong was somewhat moved by Mu Yingsheng's words. Although she knew he was speaking to her, she couldn't help but wonder, "Are the four sects and four schools really that united?"

Mu Yingsheng smiled at her and confidently replied, "Of course." Then he looked at the teacup in his hand and continued, "The four sects and four schools were originally established with the common people of heaven and earth in mind. The Fanyun Sect is so powerful that it can overturn the clouds and seas, and its disciples are required to be proficient in all aspects, to know a little bit of everything, to be proficient in everything, and to understand everything. Their disciples are the main force of the Central Region, the vanguard of the war for common people and the disaster of heaven and earth."

"The Yujian Sect, who control the sword and wield it, upholds the philosophy of creating the world with one sword and protecting all living things with one sword. They are one of the main forces of the Fanyun Sect's Second Middle Region. Of course, some disciples will travel the mundane world, doing righteous deeds with the idea of ​​not becoming immortals."

"Tianhun Sect, all disciples practice the Dao of Life, observing the subtleties of heaven and earth and the trends of all living things through their own bodies, and informing the world of major events in advance to prevent them from happening."

"In Zen Buddhism, all disciples are Buddhist monks who practice asceticism. The most common among them are ascetic monks who walk through suffering. They believe that if they bear the suffering of the world themselves, the world will suffer less. They mediate conflicts between the East and West, and reconcile the differences between demons and humans."

"Correspondingly, the Fanyun Sect needed prior intelligence, so they formed the Shenyin Sect. The Yujian Sect, who wield swords without fear of harm, corresponded to the Qingzhu Sect. The Tianhun Sect needed protection for their spirits leaving their bodies, so they formed the Fuzhen Sect. Because the Zen Sect, who travel the world and don't accept the kindness of the world, formed the Wanshou Sect, which is accompanied by demons."

"So, now do you understand why the four sects and four schools can be so united?"

Hu Xingtong nodded. Unlike in novels and TV dramas, the immortal sects in this world had no disputes over fame and fortune. Everyone took cultivation as their own responsibility and was truly worthy of the faith of mortals in practicing the great way of heaven and earth.

But despite this, heaven and earth have never opened a door for these people, a door that allows them to attain enlightenment and ascend to become immortals.
