Fortune telling? How do you explain your hand-drawn lightning magic and sword flight?

"Sigh, let's not talk about these upsetting things."

Zhang Zhiwei seems to have come to terms with reality and has already adjusted her mindset.

"By the way, Lingyu, did those three little guys, Wang Ye, stay at your Taoist temple?"

Chen Xuan did not hide anything, "That's right, the three of them were watching the battle when I destroyed the Divine Immortal Path last night."

“That’s good. Everything has gone too smoothly for them since they came up the mountain. It’s time for them to experience something.”

After finishing his sentence, Zhang Zhiwei added, "This number is the old man's WeChat ID. Add me, and I have something for you."

Chen Xuan added her on WeChat without asking any further questions.

Unexpectedly, after the two became friends, the old master sent them a series of photos of ancient books.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan gasped in shock.

This is actually a cultivation technique inheritance similar to the Six Scrolls of Earthly Immortals.

Although it is far less profound than the complete "Six Volumes of Earthly Immortals", if it were the complete version, it would be easy to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, with Chen Xuan's discerning eye, he knew that this method had a major flaw, as it seemed to be missing several crucial pieces of information and the content of the subsequent volumes.

"It's still incomplete despite years of repairs." The old master said in a low voice, his tone filled with resentment.

"This kind of method is the foundation of all schools and sects. Why, why did you send it to me?" Chen Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Alas, the power of the Western Vatican is growing stronger every day. If it weren't for the great distance to the other side and the strength of the Dragon Xia Kingdom intimidating Southeast Asia, I think the Vatican's practitioners would have already infiltrated here openly and legitimately."

"If we remain complacent and refuse to adapt, then after we old folks die, there won't be many of the younger generation who can stop them."

Chen Xuan remained silent, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

"We are old and have no complete lineage, so our cultivation is likely to make no progress."

“But you are different. You are still young and have more potential. Moreover, your understanding of the Great Dao is no less than that of the three of us old guys. If one day you immerse yourself in enlightenment and have a flash of inspiration, you may be able to complete this lost manual.”

Having already considered each other as close friends, Zhang Zhiwei naturally wouldn't bring up the topic of taking on apprentices.

If Chen Xuan's level is far inferior to that of the Old Celestial Master, perhaps the Old Celestial Master would really want to take him as a disciple.

But Chen Xuan's level of enlightenment is too high, even stronger than the Old Celestial Master in some aspects. How can one easily accept a disciple such a dragon among men who has his own Great Dao in his heart?

After much deliberation, he decided to share all the martial arts manuals and classic texts of Longhu Mountain with the people.

"Lingyu and the other two juniors will be troubling you for the time being, young friend."

Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing this, "Our Taoist school has always had the rule of wandering and cultivating. When one travels to a place and feels the Great Dao, one will stay at a Taoist temple nearby to cultivate. This is also permitted."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will give them some pointers based on the contents of this book in my spare time."

In fact, Chen Xuan had considered telling Zhang Zhiwei about the "Six Volumes of Earthly Immortals".

But on second thought, I decided to keep it for now.

Regardless of whether the system allows it.

Just the fact that many disciples of the opposing sect would have to change their cultivation methods would be an enormous risk.

Cultivating without knowing the consequences could result in widespread damage to the meridians of disciples, which would be an irresponsible act.

Furthermore, this "Six Volumes of Earthly Immortals" is unique to the Flying Immortal Temple and is not passed on to outsiders. It can be considered a legacy of the Dragon Xia's unique skills.

This matter is extremely complex, and Chen Xuan needs to go back and think it over carefully before making a decision.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, young friend. It's truly a blessing that those three have accumulated from their past lives to have your guidance."

"You flatter me, Celestial Master. It was nothing more than a small favor," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, then I won't bother you any longer. I'm already quite busy with trivial matters while managing the entire Celestial Master's Mansion."

"Alright, let's discuss this further another day."

"Haha, it's a deal!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan realized that he had been walking for several hours and had reached the top of Tangwu Mountain.

"Good heavens, I didn't even realize I'd walked a hundred miles back!"

The two had an in-depth exchange and both gained a lot from it.

Chen Xuan not only learned about the domestic and international situation from the old Celestial Master, but also learned a secret.

"The world is about to collapse? What does that phrase mean?"

Chen Xuan immediately began to calculate according to the old celestial master's instructions.

However, just three seconds later, Chen Xuan's face turned pale, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"what's the situation?"

"All I could see was a hint of a spiritual demon's resurgence. As for what followed, I only glimpsed a little, yet I suffered such a terrifying backlash?"

Chen Xuan found it hard to believe; he never imagined that there were events in this world that even he couldn't predict.

"Spiritual energy, demons, and the eerie resurgence?"

Although Chen Xuan only saw the signs of demons resurfacing amidst the impending doom of the world, this news was still not to be underestimated.

"No wonder I've been encountering these kinds of ghosts and monsters when I do online fortune telling these past few days. Is it because they're reviving?"

Chen Xuan frowned in thought, "But what is the source?"

Just as Chen Xuan was wondering...

suddenly.

A mournful sound suddenly pierced the air from high in the clouds.

It looked as if some huge object was falling rapidly. To an ordinary person, it would probably sound like rocket debris falling from outer space.

But when Chen Xuan looked up, he saw the object that was faintly visible.

"Wow, this time it really can be called a flying stone."

Whoosh—Bang!

A white stone tablet, about ten feet tall, has a blurry human face engraved on the top section, while the lower half of the surface shows signs of age, having been exposed to wind, sun, and rain.

It fell directly from the sky and landed right in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan smiled and opened his eyes, having already activated his Yin-Yang Eyes.

Upon seeing the stone spirit inside the stone tablet, he smiled and nodded, "If my first impression of Linglong was that she was lively and intelligent, then you are calm and composed with a deep and accumulated knowledge."

Although the stone spirit is not afraid of sunlight and can manifest in illusion, it dares not show itself rashly in front of Chen Xuan.

Because Chen Xuan's aura was too powerful, it only dared to hide its spirit within the stone tablet.

"Alright, you don't need to be so reserved. Your destiny to become an immortal has been destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, and you have no chance to cultivate on your own for the next hundred years."

Chen Xuan said, "Now you have two paths to take."

At that moment, a muffled voice, indistinguishable between male and female, rang in Chen Xuan's ears.

"Please enlighten me, Master."

"First, I can point you to a place to cultivate, where you can have a chance to become an immortal within 50 years. However, you will have to undergo a heavenly tribulation every three years. If you can withstand it, you will live; if you can't, you will die."

Chen Xuan continued, "For this second path, you can choose to become my mountain-guarding stone tablet. I will teach you cultivation methods and the art of formations. Naturally, if heavenly lightning strikes, I will also protect you."

"I choose the second path, and I hope the Taoist priest will take in the stone spirit."

Chen Xuan smiled, then said, "Your name is Stone Spirit?"

"The little one doesn't have a name; the Stone Spirit is just something that family called him randomly."

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and then suddenly said with a playful tone, "You were originally a piece of white marble from the Ming Dynasty. Later, you were mined and carved into a stone statue guarding a tomb. After hundreds of years of exposure to the wind and sun, you absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, and developed nine orifices that connected to your spirit. That's why you have the consciousness to cultivate..."

"The good thing is that although you are a prodigy, you are free from sin. Although you are not like Linglong who is covered with three inches of golden light of merit, it is still very rare."

"Yes."

"You will emerge from this stone sooner or later. Once you have mastered your cultivation, you will soar through the heavens and plunge into the earth, stirring up wind and rain... your might will shake the world!" Chen Xuan said with a smile. "From now on, I'll call you Shi Hao."

"Shi Hao... Shi Hao?"

Shi Jing silently recited the name and suddenly felt a series of palpitations, as if the name contained immense power. "Daoist Master, I feel that this name is very powerful, giving me a lingering sense of unease."

"That's not an illusion. If you want to bear this name, you must have a Dao heart that can stand alone through the ages!"

Chen Xuan smiled and continued, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be worthy of the character 'Hao,' so we'll have to find a homophone."

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master. From now on, I will be called Shi Hao."

Chen Xuanming's apparent suppression was actually an attempt to provoke Shi Hao's warlike nature.

"disciple?"

"No, remember your current identity. You are currently just the guardian stone tablet of Feixian Temple. Only when you can truly live up to the name Shi Hao will I take you as my disciple and teach you the Dao."

"Shi Hao has noted it down."

Chen Xuan stopped and pointed his sword-finger at the center of the stone tablet statue's brow.

Instantly, a large amount of information was transmitted through his fingers into Shi Hao's soul.

"These are some basic principles of array formations. Once you fully comprehend them, they will be enough to break the two large arrays I set up at the foot of the mountain. After you break the two arrays, you will need to refine and master them. Only then will you be qualified to continue with the subsequent tests. Do you understand?"

"Shi Hao will heed your teachings!"

"Alright, after you break through, let me know when your spirit enters the Flying Immortal Temple."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he walked away.

“Master, no, Daoist, the pressure from the Dao Ancestor’s Hall is too strong. I’m afraid I dare not step inside.”

Chen Xuan didn't turn around. "Don't worry, I'll let the Dao Ancestor know in advance."

Chen Xuan walked lightly and swiftly into the Dao Ancestor's Hall.

This scene only strengthened Shi Hao's resolve to become an apprentice.

"Having survived this great calamity, I am sure to be blessed with good fortune. This time, I have encountered a divine being. I, Shi Hao, am determined to become his disciple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a stone tablet about ten feet tall flew into the air and nailed directly to the entrance of the mountain road.

The stone tablet is like a guardian, always overlooking the road leading up the mountain. Shi Hao can immediately detect anyone climbing the mountain.

When Chen Xuan returned to the backyard, he saw a scene of chicken feathers and duck blood.

He looked suspiciously at Zhang Lingyu and Wang Ye, who were covered in blood, and asked, "What happened? Was the Taoist temple robbed?"
