Heaven took from me 150 years, I will take from this world 1,500 years!
Xiao Zhao wasn't unfamiliar with these charlatans who roamed the jianghu, they were mostly some unorthodox practitioners who knew a bit of nonsense and exaggerated their abilities. She acknowledged that perhaps some of them might have real skills, with methods so cunning that even cultivators couldn't see through them. After all, if an unorthodox practice could be passed down since ancient times, it must have its own reasons. However, she had never seen anyone like this Dragon Tiger Heavenly Master who spoke so boastfully. Refining arrays, refining talismans, and refining artifacts were already quite impressive, but he even claimed to be able to point at the sky and create a world with just one symbol and one text. If he really had such abilities, why would he still need to be a charlatan? He might as well go become the master of the Symbol Tower.
What's even more unbearable is that this kid actually dared to slander Wu Wang Gong. Is this reasonable? Wu Wang Gong is a great figure like a god, how can you compare with him? Xiao Zhao wanted to go and teach this shameless guy a lesson, but was stopped by Ning Shuang. If she had just stopped her, it would have been fine, but what made Xiao Zhao unable to understand was that Ning Shuang actually invited this guy to be a guest in the sect, which Xiao Zhao could not accept no matter what.
As she urged the horse carriage on, she gave a stern glance at Longhutianshi riding an old horse behind them. Then, she lifted the curtain and asked in puzzlement, "Miss, although we didn't invite an Array Master, you don't have to find such a quack either, do you? Do you believe his nonsense?"
Her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of bitter smile flowed out from her delicate jade-like face. She said softly, "I'm not an idiot, how could I possibly believe him."
"If you don't believe him, then why did you still invite him to the party?" Xiaozhao really couldn't understand Miss's actions.
Her gentle eyes, like misty color, looked at the hurriedly passing scenery outside and said, "Master's body is getting worse day by day, and there are not many days left. The old man has a deep affection for the Water Cloud Sect, I cannot let him die with regret."
Xiao Zhao was also clever and quick-witted. Upon hearing Ningfeng's words, her eyes lit up as she said, "Miss wants to use this divine staff as a prop to temporarily put the leader at ease, which isn't a bad idea. However, this divine staff is boasting too much, making it obvious that it's fake just by listening."
"Just let him pretend, anyway it's just a facade. With him around, not only can he temporarily calm Master's heart, but also avoid a lot of trouble. And with this facade, I thought of a way to solve the formation problem."
"Really, miss? Do you really have a way?"
"This is still uncertain for the time being." Jingfeng pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "My little sister's identity is not easy to reveal to help me, let's go back to the sect and see Master first."
Behind him, Tang Qing rode an old horse, carrying a yellow banner, swaying back and forth as he followed, but his mind was thinking about the information he had learned from Tu Ba, whether it was Gu Ruo Yun or Xie Tian Yi, these two names were the ones he cared about the most and also the ones he wanted to forget the most. He just didn't expect that after he failed to cross the tribulation, both of them would fall into the evil demon's path. Xie Tian Yi had a strange temperament and fell into the evil path, which was not surprising, but why did Gu Ruo Yun, who had a gentle temperament...
In the blink of an eye, one hundred and fifty years have passed in a hurry, I don't know how they are doing now.
After Tang Qing set foot on the path of a loose immortal, he moved with one thought and the heavenly tribulation would move. One thought fell, and the heavenly tribulation would descend. Because the heavenly tribulation came in such an unusual way, he completely sealed his heart to avoid being taken advantage of by the heavenly tribulation. It must be known that the heavenly tribulation of a loose immortal is not only aimed at the body of the loose immortal, but also at the heavenly tribulation of the original heart.
He could feel that his heavenly tribulation was somewhat abnormal, and he also knew that the heavenly tribulation of a loose immortal had no rules to speak of. During this time, he had also come into contact with other loose immortals, among whom two others were one-tribulation loose immortals and two-tribulation loose immortals, but they had been on the path of a loose immortal for five or six hundred years and had only experienced one or two heavenly tribulations. Why, when it was his turn, did he have to endure nine heavenly tribulations in just 150 years?
Can it be that heaven and earth cannot accommodate me?
Erase my nine heavenly calamities, and now in more than 150 years, the nine heavenly calamities have been reduced. This is clearly intended to use the heavenly calamity to put me to death. Other scattered immortals have several hundred years of preparation time to pass through a heavenly calamity, while Laozi has just passed through a heavenly calamity, and the body of a scattered immortal cannot recover in time, and then senses the next heavenly calamity coming, if it were not for Laozi's good life, and understanding the mystery of the symbol, I fear that I would have been killed by the third heavenly calamity.
When I was cultivating, although I was young and arrogant, I once offended the heavenly power. But you have wiped out my nine heavenly calamities, which should be enough to make up for it. Since taking the path of a loose immortal, I have always been honest and never violated the laws or disrupted the order. Why do you treat me like this, Heaven? Is it because I killed those immortals again? What a joke! They wouldn't tolerate me and wanted to kill me, was I supposed to wait for them to do so?
Tang Jing couldn't understand it, but he wouldn't dwell on it either. Since things had come to this point, he didn't care why the heavens were so ruthless.
Since it's done, then it's done. If offense is taken, then offense is taken.
If you want me to die, I will fight back.
If you can wipe me out, I'll accept it. But if you can't annihilate me, then I will annihilate you.
Tang Jing had made up his mind and set foot on a road that went against the current.
I owe Master Shang a hope of Upper Clear Sect, I want to rekindle this hope.
If it's because I failed to pass the tribulation and caused Upper Clarity Sect to decline for 150 years, then I'll make Upper Clarity Sect prosper for 1,500 years.
Heaven takes from me one hundred and fifty years, I take from heaven one thousand five hundred years.
What once belonged to me, I will take back tenfold, a hundredfold.
Shangqing Sect still has a year to complete the 20-year mourning period for Fangzong, but one year is enough for Tang Qing.
Hehe, Master, Uncle-Master, Old Sect Leader, are you all doing well? If my guess is correct, the 20-year seal of the sect was to suppress Little Junior Sister's evil nature. This time, even Great-Uncle-Master will have to make an appearance, because only he understands the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Dragon Canon... Hehe... With Great-Uncle-Master making an appearance, Little Junior Sister's evil nature will surely be suppressed.
One year, you wait, one year later, I will re-enter the Upper Clear Sect again.
You can rest assured to protect the little Shifu, with me here, the Water Cloud Sect will never decline. Whoever dares to bully my Upper Clear Sect, I will make him pay back a hundred times, no matter if it's a major sect in the world or the World Symbol Tower, no one is allowed.
"Dragon Tiger Master, you really want to go to Shuiyun Sect?"
The voice of Chu Ba came over, and Tang Qing glanced at him with a hint of annoyance, saying, "What's wrong, you have an opinion?"
"Hey, Lord Longhu, look at what you're saying. How dare I, Tu Ba, have an opinion about you? Thanks to your kindness, I'm now a ghost dog. But if those two little girls detect the ghostly aura on me... Heh heh, won't that cause trouble for you too, Lord Longhu?"
"Rest assured, your demonic aura has already been suppressed by me. Look at what's behind you."
Oppression? What's going on, Tu Ba's dog-like face is full of panic, straining to turn his head but can't see what's behind him. So Tu Ba quickly lies down on the ground, lifting his limbs and turning his head, only to vaguely see a strange pattern on his body. The pattern is very obscure and subtle.
"Seal, Oni... uh no, how could there be a seal on Tūbā's body? This is a forbidden technique! What's going on? Could it be you..." As if realizing something, Tūbā quickly stood up and ran over, his head raised high, his dog-like eyes filled with shock. He had no idea what was happening or how he came to have a seal on his body, but he was certain that everything was absolutely related to the guy in front of him.
Prohibited existence, Tu Ba didn't know much about it, but he knew that those who understood prohibitions were usually masters of the symbol domain. This Dragon Tiger Patriarch looked nothing like a master, how could... Tu Ba dared not think more and carefully asked, "Dragon Tiger Patriarch, what kind of prohibition did you apply to my body? Are there any aftereffects?"
"Don't worry, this is just a normal seal, covering up your demonic aura, there won't be any aftereffects. However, if you're not honest, the seal might compress your demon soul..."
Tang Qing's words were not yet finished, when Tu Ba was already scared out of his wits. "Ahh, Dragon Tiger Lord, I am your loyal ghost servant! My loyalty to you is evident in heaven and earth. Please have mercy on me and release me!"
"Shut up, you damn thing, I'll stew you."
Tang Jing glared at him with anger, and Tu Ba didn't dare to make another sound. He looked at the man on the old horse's back with a pair of dog eyes full of resentment, grievance, and humiliation. Suddenly, a line of clear tears flowed out, dripping down his dog face onto the ground, seeping into the soil, and making a low sobbing sound. After discovering that the man had walked far away, Tu Ba quickly wiped his eyes with his paws and followed him. Such a desolate dog really made people sigh.
The Shuiyun Sect is located on Yunwu Mountain, which is shrouded in mist and clouds all year round. From a distance, it looks like a fairyland in the sky, very beautiful. Ten years ago, this was also the thriving Shuiyun Sect, with many masters inside the sect, over a hundred disciples. But ten years later, the Shuiyun Sect is no longer its former self, and has begun to decline. The once-large Shuiyun Sect now only has one dying sect leader, one elder who is not clear-headed, one senior sister, and nearly twenty disciples.
Although that's the case, the two disciples standing guard still stood up straight, their robes fluttering in the wind, with their heads held high and chests out. When they saw a horse carriage approaching, the two disciples first let out a soft sigh, but when they saw Qingfeng walk out of it, the two disciples immediately smiled with joy.
"Master sister, Master sister is back."
Ningfeng and the fellow disciples had a good relationship, after exchanging a few words, Ningfeng introduced them to Tang Qing. As soon as they heard that this person was the successor of Longhu Mountain, the two disciples were greatly shocked. Longhu Mountain was a famous cultivation site in ancient times, and as upper sect disciples, they naturally knew its reputation from reading ancient texts. However, seeing the words written on the yellow banner, the two were taken aback, somewhat puzzled - wasn't this Dragon Tiger Heaven Master's tone a bit too grand? Nevertheless, since this Dragon Tiger Heaven Master was invited by their senior sister, they trusted him without doubt. They paid their respects to Tang Qing with a deep bow, and seeing him, they had high expectations for a long-awaited Array Master.
