One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

After the possession ended, Liao Huzi collapsed to the ground, the pain all over his body making it impossible for him to get up.

"You really showed no mercy, kid. I'm sore all over after this fight. Second Grandfather really didn't give me any face at all. He took over my body and used my body to fight you. You two had a good fight, but poor old man like me is sore all over and can't even stand up."

"Uncle, what are you saying? Wasn't this test only because you thought I wasn't strong enough to enter the Heavenly Pool? I wonder if you think I'm strong enough to enter the Heavenly Pool now?"

"Enough, enough, that's enough. I don't care anymore. If anything happens to you, have your master go find Second Grandfather. Anyway, I can't beat you, and even the Celestial Master might not be able to beat Second Grandfather. You all act recklessly because of your strength; let's see how you clean up this mess." Liao Huzi directly confronted Sun Yao's words. He knew he couldn't do anything about these people; he couldn't beat them or reason with them. Since Second Grandfather had decided to send Sun Yao to Tianchi, if anything went wrong, let Second Grandfather face the Celestial Master and the Left Sect Master's wrath.

Second Grandfather is so old, even the Celestial Master and the Left Gate Master probably couldn't beat him. Taking him out to handle trouble would definitely be enough. At the very least, he's tough enough to withstand a beating, after all, Second Grandfather is Liu Xian'er, and Liu Xian'er is the most resilient and fiercest fighter among the Five Immortals.

"Uncle, aren't you afraid that Second Master will punish you for saying that?"

"I've seen through him. This old man gets more and more childish with age. He almost risked his life when he fought. Do you think I'm afraid of him? Let me tell you, this old man probably doesn't even dare to face me now. He didn't care about my health when he was fighting just now. If I don't actively seek him out to possess me for a while, I guess I can only borrow his power. He's in the wrong, so he definitely won't come on his own." Liao Hu Zi said this with a lot of resentment, like a woman in her boudoir complaining.

"If you ask me, Uncle, you should be secretly happy. Among the fairies, it's not easy to find one as understanding as Second Master Liu. Especially since Fairy Liu has a rather unpleasant personality, there are probably not many as understanding as Second Master Liu."

"That's true. Third Master Huang and Fifth Master Hu are both quite domineering. Don't even mention the younger generation; even I might get scolded if I borrow their power. People like Second Master Liu are indeed rare, but his lineage is quite reasonable. Take his grandson Liu Kunsheng, for example. Although he has only been cultivating for a little over 100 years, his strength is indeed very strong. But when the younger generation asks him to borrow their power, he always lends it to them without any hesitation or scolding."

After hearing Sun Yao's words, Liao Hu Zi echoed them. He was quite satisfied with the lineage of Master Liu Er. Compared to other immortal families, Master Liu Er's lineage was not only powerful but also reasonable, truly a rare find for any sect.

Sun Yao was startled when he heard Liu Kunsheng's name. It turned out that Liu Kunsheng was actually the grandson of Second Master Liu. In the original story, Guan Shihua's grandson at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony had sought Liu Kunsheng's possession, but unfortunately, he encountered a cheat-like character who could control spirits. Otherwise, with Liu Kunsheng's strength, wouldn't he have been able to slaughter everyone at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?

"Alright, since you've agreed, Uncle, I'm off to Tianchi now. But don't tell the two girls who came with me that I'm going to Tianchi. I don't intend to provoke the fire dragon this time. I'll be right back; I'll just take a peek from afar."

Before going to Tianchi, Sun Yao was still worried about Yue Qiluo and Hong Guniang, fearing that the two of them would run to Tianchi to look for him and something unexpected might happen.

"That's great! That old dragon is almost dead. Now is the time to be fearless. Let's not provoke it." Liao Huzi was also very grateful after hearing Sun Yao's plan.

"Uncle, have you considered that it's nearing the end of its lifespan? That means every time it attacks, it's accelerating its own demise. That's why the Fire Dragon won't become my enemy for no reason. After all, the closer it gets to death, the more it values ​​its life. This means that unless its life is threatened, it will definitely be extremely tolerant and won't attack me."

As Sun Yao spoke, he set off on the road to Tianchi, waving goodbye to Liao Huzi with his back turned. Meanwhile, Liao Huzi was rubbing his chin, pondering Sun Yao's words.

"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that? This old dragon is almost at the end of his life. If he makes a move, wouldn't he lose a day of his life? So why should I be afraid of him? Shouldn't he be afraid of me? Damn, how come I didn't get this idea?"

Liao Huzi suddenly realized, "So that's how it works." Then, as if remembering something, his expression turned strange.

"So that's why Second Master was willing to guard the Heavenly Pool. He figured it out long ago. Guarding the Heavenly Pool not only allows for rapid cultivation growth, but also eliminates the worry of that old dragon taking action. It's practically a lucrative position! No wonder this cunning old snakeskin said he was willing to go there."

It turned out that he remembered when they were discussing who would guard Tianchi Lake, Master Liu Er had personally volunteered to do so. He had always thought that Master Liu Er was living in constant fear while guarding Tianchi Lake, but it turned out that he was living a comfortable life.

Two flowers bloom, each telling its own story. Sun Yao had already embarked on his journey to Tianchi, but the road was far from peaceful. He had encountered no fewer than ten illusion arrays and three instances of being trapped in a ghostly maze. It seemed that Liu Xian'er wasn't the only guardian of Tianchi; at least Huang Xian'er, Hu Xian'er, and Bai Xian'er were all involved. All three were capable of illusion magic, and they also possessed some skill in creating ghostly mazes. Of course, Huang Xian'er and Hu Xian'er were the most renowned for their illusion magic. As for why he was certain Bai Xian'er was also involved, it was because she encountered vegetation blocking her path.

The branches and vines bound Sun Yao tightly; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as being completely tied up. Of the Five Immortals, only Bai Xian'er could use plant magic, so Sun Yao was certain that Bai Xian'er was involved in the defense of Tianchi. The only uncertainty was whether Hui Xian'er was involved. Tianchi should now be considered Liu Xian'er's territory, and Hui Xian'er and Liu Xian'er had never gotten along; it was unknown whether they would form an alliance for the defense of Tianchi.
