Chapter 934: Making Amends
"Oh." A hint of embarrassment rose in Lu Jiangxian, who had been crouching by the door, as he thought, So that's why... I’ve wandered all over Penglai for so long without seeing a single manual or jade slip. It was all sealed away with a Dharma relic.
He shook his sleeve and muttered, "Sticking to outdated rules! Stubborn tradition... What age are we even in? Are cultivation methods still such inconvenient things?"
After a moment's thought, Lu Jiangxian began to suspect that the one who fought with Immortal Lord Chufu might have been an Immortal Lord from the Green Pine Temple. After all, this so-called Heaven-hearing technique resembled divine sense in many ways, so it might indeed be linked to Green Pine Temple.
"A scholar’s borrowing... how could that be called stealing?"
He mocked himself under his breath, just for amusement, then shifted his position so that the turtle shell disappeared from view. Wang Xun had already begun speaking in a soft voice again, "There are records in my family showing that Immortal Lord Chufu attained the Dao in ancient times and was a true Immortal Lord of great power. Later, the Immortal Lord borrowed a Fruition Attainment of Manifest Earth from among the Five Earths, first borrowing then seeking, and drew out the Sixth Earth, Azure Manifestation, from emptiness. His merit was boundless, and my family’s True Monarch has always offered incense to honor him."
The middle-aged Daoist sighed and nodded, "Our predecessor was immeasurably powerful and meritorious. We juniors are ashamed by comparison."
Wang Xun merely looked up at the jade rack and muttered, "Elder Dianxing, since you say that the Immortal Lord is immortal and can avoid all Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations, perhaps he still exists in the world. This Immortal Realm truly is daring... Even if he has already become one with the Dao, the great void surely remembers him."
His words made Dianxing even more embarrassed, and he could only sigh, "Who wouldn’t agree? Otherwise, how could our Penglai end up in such a state, without sun or moon?"
It was true that Penglai had neither sun nor moon, but Wang Xun had seen many such grotto heavens before and hadn’t thought much of it at first. He nodded, and Dianxing continued, "This still depends on the turtle shell the Immortal Lord himself placed on the main peak. No one has ever dared move it. I reckon... if someone were to take it into the manifest world, it might cause the sun and moon to shine together and give birth to the light of duality in the great void... and that might just pierce the heavens again."
After their small talk ended, Wang Xun finally said, "I came this time with one more matter that I hope you can assist with, elder."
