"Good success lies in the present, but misfortune lies in the future. Young man, you are very eloquent."
Shu Han listened to the old man's relaxed tone and knew that his views were more or less in line with the old man's thoughts. He also heard that the old man did not have any malicious intentions, so he let down his guard.
"The younger generation is clumsy and is just expressing his own opinions. If there is any offense, I hope that the seniors will forgive me."
The old man said calmly: "What you said makes sense, why are you offending? I have looked at the changes in Tianque Sect over the past thousand years, and I have not seen this. Now my position in Tianque Sect is dependent on the two major sects, and my status is aloof. In the midst of constant disputes,
Yunshangtian is like a paradise escaping from the world. However, this kind of comfort has cultivated the charming people of Tianque Sect.
With the habitual mentality, they go in and out of the sky, doing whatever they want, but no one dares to stop them. They all live like dandy children. It has been difficult for thousands of years to find a disciple who has practiced the "Tianque Liuhe Jue" to the extreme. Now the Tianque Sect's
The Nascent Soul monks are all accumulated in the past, and in the next few thousand years, Tianque Sect may not be able to produce even one Nascent Soul monk."
"Although other sects have taken advantage of the power of Taiyun Sect and Rakshasa Demon Realm, they dare not express their anger towards Tianque Sect, but they have been holding grudges for a long time. Now, except for the two major sects in Yunshangtian, the strength of Tianque Sect is indeed unmatched.
The sect is capable of defeating us, but this kind of strength is indeed too great and unreasonable. As you said, it is like a castle in the air."
After hearing this, Shu Han couldn't help but ask: "Since senior has seen the disadvantages caused by over-dependence on the two major sects, why didn't he come forward to correct it? With senior's cultivation and status, it shouldn't be difficult."
After hearing this, the old man was silent for a long time.
"Because I'm not sure..."
Shu Han was stunned: "Not sure about what?"
The old man sighed: "I'm not sure whether Hong Ye is really wrong in doing this, and I'm not sure whether what I think is correct. Young man, have you paid attention to the situation in Yun Shangtian?"
Shu Han nodded: "I heard it. Now the war is going on in Yun Shang Tian. The two sects seem to be deliberately inciting their sects to attack each other's cities and plunder the territory. But anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that the two sects have no intention of completely destroying each other. This
It’s really strange to start a war like this.”
The old man agreed: "The two major sects are behaving strangely. This is something everyone at the top of Yunshangtian knows. Even so, they have to obey the orders of the two major sects. If the Tianque Sect does not have the protection of the two major sects at the same time, it will not be able to do so.
Don’t get involved in this turmoil. This is why I can’t go against Hong Ye. I have a hunch that we seem to be standing at a turning point in Dayun’s history. If we make one wrong step, we may be doomed.”
Shu Han couldn't help but ask: "The two major sects are really so powerful, they can actually control all the sects in Yun Shangtian! Senior, you are already in the late Nascent Soul stage, can't you break free from the shackles of the two major sects?"
The old man shook his head helplessly.
"Almost no other force in the human world can resist these two sects, because their strength has exceeded what the human world can bear. If the Taiyun Sect and the Rakshasa Demon Realm do not restrain each other, either sect can
Sweeping across the entire Dayun. The deeper you cultivate, the more you can see the unfathomable depths of the two major sects. They are the general trend of the world, and they are the torrent of the times. If they want to bring chaos to Dayun, we will have no way to resist.
"
Hearing this great monk with profound skills in the late Yuanying period also describe the Taiyun Sect and the Rakshasa Demon Realm in this way, it deepened Shu Han's fear of the two major sects.
Beyond what the human world can bear?
Shu Han asked: "Senior, do you know what these two sects want to do when they join forces to stir up the bloody storm in Yun Shang Tian?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't know. If I had known, I wouldn't be as confused as I am now. The independence and self-reliance of Tianque Sect is the foundation of the sect, but conforming to the two major sects is the way to survive in Yun Shang Tian. I don't know that.
A bright way forward for Tianque Sect, so I have been undecided."
"Obviously, I can't oppose Hong Ye's efforts to please the two major sects, because in this current situation, Tianque Sect needs him to flatter and mediate with the two major sects, but I also want to preserve the independent and tenacious foundation of Tianque Sect. And this
The root is Linlin."
Shu Han couldn't help but be startled when he heard what the old man said.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?"
The old man said: "Back then, the reason Linlin was able to practice the "Tianque Liuhe Jue" was because I secretly nodded; now that she can survive the Tianque Cloud Tribulation, it was because I secretly opposed everyone's opinions. I wanted to cultivate her, so I secretly helped her.
She got rid of her identity as the Cauldron of the Taiyun Sect, and when the situation in Yunshangtian comes to an end, I will support her to ascend to the position of sect leader, and use her ambition to revive the Tianque Sect's self-reliance. This is the foundation that I left for the Tianque Sect.
.”
Hearing what the old man said, Shu Han couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. It turned out that there was an expert in the Tianque Sect who secretly supported Linlin!
"Senior, what about Linlin and I..."
The old man saw the surprise on Shu Han's face and couldn't help but smile: "Being able to break through the Bodhi Life and Death Formation is enough to prove that you are extraordinary. You are an extremely outstanding young man. Of course I am happy to see you and Linlin get together. In the future, Linlin
In taking charge of the Tianque Sect, you will be a great help to her."
Shu Han had been hiding his affair with Shangguan Ruolin for fear of causing trouble. This was the first time that Shu Han had been recognized by other people in the Tianque Sect, and he was Shangguan Ruolin's biological grandfather. This made Shu Han extremely excited.
"Thank you, senior, I will definitely live up to your wishes!"
The old man laughed: "What did I tell you?"
Shu Han said with a smile: "The senior has taken a fancy to the potential of Linlin and the junior, and wants to entrust Tianque Sect to Linlin and the junior after the storm is settled. It is rare for the senior to trust and recognize the junior so much, if Linlin takes charge of Tianque in the future
Zong, this junior will definitely do his best to carry forward the name of Tianque Zong!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
"Young man is very good, but it's too early to tell now. You have to help Linlin break through the Nascent Soul before the Taiyun Sect greets her. You have to know that I can't openly stand on your side to resist the Taiyun Sect.
If you want to get rid of control, you can only rely on the efforts of the two of you."
Shu Han cupped his hands and said, "It's enough to have senior's secret support!"
The old man looked at Shu Han with approval and said: "Seeing you is like seeing me back then. Although I am the former sect leader, I am not a bloodline of the Shangguan family. I also had a personal acquaintance with the daughter of the Shangguan family like you.
.”
Shu Han raised his eyebrows and said in astonishment: "No wonder the senior's surname is Wan instead of Shangguan!"
The old man slowly sighed: "You are better than me back then. Back then, I was just a little-known alchemy monk. Logically speaking, I didn't fit into the Shangguan family's standards for selecting a son-in-law. But thanks to the appreciation of my ancestors, regardless of my low status back then, I was able to
with her
Become a Taoist couple. In order to repay the kindness of my ancestors, I have worked hard to protect the peace of Tianque Sect for thousands of years. This is why I am willing to secretly help you and Linlin now. I hope that you can, like me, be able to protect Tianque Sect for the next ten thousand years.
Years of peace.”
Shu Han bowed respectfully: "The kindness of the seniors will be remembered by the juniors!"
Then, Shu Han looked at the Ciyuan Bodhi tree behind the old man, and said with a smile: "Senior, then this Ciyuan Bodhi tree... If she gets the help of the Ciyuan Bodhi tree, Linlin should be able to safely survive the catastrophe of Heaven's Tower and Cloud Climb, and
