“Mother, what’s the matter?” Li Xianyu communicated with Hua Yang.
“There was a strong mental energy that was probing you just now, and I almost got caught.” Hua Yang thought faintly.
He was shocked and looked around alertly. There were members from the Taoist clans and the Buddhist sects in the canteen. It was hard to tell if there were big shots hidden amongst these plain-dressed monks.
As they could not strike directly, thus they chose to observe secretly? Li Xianyu thought. Oh right, Hua Yang was refined into a fallen angel, but the original owner has not appeared. This person certainly will not give up. What the hell, it’s another wave of hostile forces.
“Don’t look around, it’s right next to you.” Hua Yang’s thought became weaker and weaker, and then disappeared.
Dan Chenzi?
Li Xianyu subconsciously glanced at the young Taoist priest beside him. He looked the same and ate silently, with his lifeless fish eyes.
He almost forgot that this guy was a disciple of Shangqing Sect. Shangqing Sect did not attach importance to the rules, rituals, or external elixirs, and was disdainful towards Taoist sexual practices.
The emphasis was on cultivation and spirituality. Each of the disciples who entered of Shangqing Sect was equivalent to a mental power awakener.
Dan Chenzi was the most outstanding disciple of this generation of Shangqing Sect, and was equally renowned as Jie Se. It was justified as his mental practice had reached such a state.
It was a pity that no one was willing to eat in Lianghua Temple’s canteen, especially those pampered young women. Otherwise, now that I’m sitting with Jie Se and Dan Chenzi, two super popular idols, we would be extremely attention-grabbing.
He had witnessed Jie Se’s popularity before. Now, adding Dan Chenzi, he was like the bamboo beside two pandas. Although he was only a supporting character, he would still gain screen time.
“Uncle, you met Li Peiyun some time ago. How is his cultivation now?” Li Xianyu chose a topic. The two monks were silent as they buried their heads to eat and it was rather boring. At this time, his harem must be eating delicacies in the business district at the bottom of the mountain, chattering happily.
“Uncle?” Dan Chenzi raised his head, looking at Jie Se in surprise.
“He is Li Wuxiang’s son, the Li family descendant.” Jie Se explained to Dan Chenzi. It seemed that in his heart, his “nephew”, Li Xianyu’s status was not high.
“I knew you didn’t know him. Although you are a monk, how could you not know about worldly affairs at all. There are too many hikikomoris amongst the Taoist clans,” Li Xianyu snarked.
“Only by isolating ourselves from worldly affairs, can we thoroughly refine a heart of Taoism,” Dan Chenzi retorted.
The two argued for a few sentences, until Li Xianyu asked again, “Uncle, you haven’t answered me yet. Do I have such a weak sense of presence?”
Jie Se was exasperated regarding the title of Uncle. Li Xianyu called him Jie Se when he didn’t need anything. When he did, he called him Uncle, he was a cunning one.
“It was just sparring and we didn’t use our full power. He’s more powerful than you,” Jie Se said nonchalantly.
“Why did you fight?”
“He insulted Master, and said that his reputation was false, and that he was a selfish man. He also said Master did not deserve to be the leader of the orthodox clans.”
“No matter how strong Li Peiyun is, he still lost to me.” Li Xianyu chewed on the vegetables.
“What are you proud of, since it’s not your own strength?” Jie Se replied.
“That’s not true. It’s like a gun. I’m holding it so it’s my strength. Uncle, your thoughts are too pedantic. According to your logic, a nuclear bomb is something external, so why is the country that built it so complacent?”
Jie Se pondered about it but couldn’t refute, so he looked down and continued to eat.
“What if I had a way to get you to lose your gun?” Dan Chenzi suddenly said.
Li Xianyu pondered.
“Therefore, relying on external things, after all, are unorthodox means.” Jie Se took the chance to put Li Xianyu down.
“When you make me lose my gun, you’ll get a bullet through your head.” Li Xianyu smiled and said, “So it’s still me who wins by relying on something else.”
“Hah.” Dan Chenzi smiled. “Within a radius of 10 meters, guns and bullets cannot get close to me.”
“What if San Wu’s the one holding the gun?”
“San Wu?”
“Precision strike,” Jie Se explained.
Dan Chenzi looked down and continued eating.
“Using tools is what the wise would do. Why is the demon descendants community so wary of Baoze, when we only emerged a few years ago? That’s because we are well-equipped. There are endless weapons to restrain demon descendants. You hard-working players who are poor, how are you going to defeat players who pay money to buy upgrades?”
Dan Chenzi and Jie Se thought about it and didn’t come up with a rebuttal, so they ignored Li Xianyu and chatted happily.
“Li Peiyun can’t attend, otherwise the champion of this conference will not be a fight between the two of us.”
Dan Chenzi hesitated. “How is the Demonic Priest’s Tri-Elements Sword Technique?”
“Unfathomable.” Jie Se paused and added, “It’s flawless, as if a mountain of defense. There is an unpredictable flying sword, but also an indestructible sword of qi. It was just sparring but I found it hard to handle.”
Listening to the meaning of his words, Li Peiyun seems to be more powerful than Jie Se.
Li Xianyu frowned. Li Peiyun’s upgrade was faster than he had expected.
“The flying sword, also known as the Sword of Will, is a cohesion of mental power. So far, it is one of the sharpest means of mental attack,” Jie Se explained.
Dan Chenzi sighed. “The Demonic Priest is worthy of being the top master. If he had joined Shangqing Sect, the first Yang God may have been born.”
“But Li Peiyun has not perfected the Tri-Elements Sword Technique. Otherwise, he would be another Gokudo master. Dan Chenzi, have you attained the ‘Immunity against All Phenomena’ state?”
“Yes.”
“In this demon descendants community, only you and Li Peiyun are worthy of being my opponents.”
Li Xianyu pursed his mouth secretly. The vegetarian food was tasteless and there was no point listening to the two compliment each other. After bidding farewell, Li Xianyu left.
“You are a good uncle. You’re trying to motivate him.” Dan Chenzi glanced at Li Xianyu’s back.
Jie Se replied, “No, I was just trying to spite him. Amitabha, I have broken my monk’s vows.”
“The Li family decendant’s cultivation is mediocre, and cannot be compared to us.” Dan Chenzi commented with disappointment.
Amongst this generation of young people, the most outstanding was the boss of Baoze, who was half-step to Gokudo. That was data from two years ago. As for now, no one knows. Down the list, it was the two of them, who had the strength of being in the top 20 on the demon descendants list.
Taking advantage of the time and place and people, their strength outburst can go further.
In the demon descendants community, it didn’t mean one would become more powerful the older one became. There were many famous big shots now, where their peak was in their youth. Buddha Head was a Half-Step Gokudo in this thirties, and stepped into Gokudo when he was sixty years old.
Li Wuxiang’s talent was not inferior to Buddha Head, and was even better. He was already a Half-Step Gokudo before he was 30 years old.
Before becoming a Gokudo, one had to rely on talent and diligence. If one wanted to truly step into the Gokudo, they would need an epiphany or opportunity. The Taoist Reverend had long been a Half-Step Gokudo, but was trapped in this phase for 60 years.
Compared with the two of them, Li Xianyu’s true strength was far from enough.
“But a hikkomori like you definitely wouldn’t know, he was still an ordinary man 3 months ago,” Jie Se said solemnly.
Dan Chenzi’s pupils contracted, as his expression changed slightly.
Jie Se and him had practiced since young, and mediated day after day to understand the Tao, before attaining this state of cultivation. What was he doing three months before cultivation? Jie Se thought.
Sit and take a nap every day…
“Don’t be too surprised. Rapid upgrades in the early stage are not necessarily good. Without a pure heart of Taoism, he will have a long bottleneck period.”
After eating, Jie Se kept the plate that Li Xianyu left on the table and stacked it below his plate. After he saw the surface of the table, his expression froze.
Dan Chenzi turned and glanced with a complex expression.
There was a sentence scratched out on the wooden table, using one’s nails: “First destroy Shaolin, then destroy Wudang. Only Manichaeism will reign in the martial world.”
What Shaolin and Wudang represented was self-evident.
“Insolent brat.” Jie Se erased the handwriting, gritting his teeth in fury.
“Mother, what’s the matter?” Li Xianyu communicated with Hua Yang.
“There was a strong mental energy that was probing you just now, and I almost got caught.” Hua Yang thought faintly.
He was shocked and looked around alertly. There were members from the Taoist clans and the Buddhist sects in the canteen. It was hard to tell if there were big shots hidden amongst these plain-dressed monks.
