Without Being Human, How Can One Cultivate Immortality?

The bloody battle that night severely weakened the Profound Yin Sect.

This story quickly spread.

Many forces in the area relayed the news back.

Everyone was impressed by the Red Cloud Sect's extravagant spending.

"The Red Cloud Sect dares to target the Profound Yin Sect on such a large scale at this time. Could it be that their Old Ancestor is alright?"

"In my opinion, that Old Ancestor is not only unharmed, but may have broken through to a higher realm, and might even reach new heights."

"Breaking through a realm isn't that easy. If you wanted to break through, you wouldn't wait until your lifespan is almost up."

"Perhaps they've invited some helpers, and are currently laying a trap for the Profound Yin Sect!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

The news spread quickly.

At this moment, Chen Wang, who provided the information, was cultivating on Green Bamboo Peak.

He practiced swordsmanship in the bamboo forest, holding the Green Ox Sword in his hand.

Each Sword Qi was sharp and fierce, and the sword moves were continuous.

It is extremely difficult to cultivate the Great River Sword Art Great River Sword Intent.

The key is to have a broad State of Mind and a continuous flow of Qi Aura.

Chen Wang is not capable of doing that yet.

Wang Yue found him and handed Chen Wang a small Storage Bag.

"These are some cultivation resources I got from the sect to increase my Law Power power. Guo Tianci is quite generous."

Chen Wang was stunned for a moment, then took it and opened the Storage Bag, where he found many medicinal herbs and pills inside.

These rewards were quite valuable, but Chen Wang asked with some curiosity, "Who is Guo Tianci?"

Wang Yue was taken aback for a moment and said, "Guo Tianci is the sect leader, didn't you know?"

Chen Wang shook his head.

"I've never heard anyone say that."

He and Wang Yue stared at each other. Wang Yue sighed and said earnestly, "You should communicate with the sect more often when you have nothing to do. You don't even know such basic things. It won't hurt to chat more."

Chen Wang nodded.

I couldn't help but wonder if I was being too withdrawn, rarely interacting with my fellow disciples.

But then he thought, he should be able to see his fellow disciples on Green Bamboo Peak! Isn't Green Bamboo Peak just for me?

When you have free time, you can't just wander around other mountains.

Those disciples were either doing missions or cultivating, and disturbing them would only provoke their displeasure.

The relationships between the various peaks were not actually that harmonious, not enough to allow Chen Wang to visit them at will.

Chen Wang put the things away; now he was a real big spender.

Chen Wang asked, "Brother Wang, I want to learn some methods of using Divine Sense. The other day when I fought with that Flower Immortal, I found that my use of Divine Sense was too crude and primitive."

Wang Yue said, "When you say 'rough and primitive,' you don't mean you just crush them with your Divine Sense, do you?"

Chen Wang nodded.

"That's right, exactly."

Wang Yue said in a serious tone, "So what? One force can overcome ten wisdoms, and all fancy tricks are rejected. This is the upright path."

Chen Wang asked suspiciously, "Brother Wang, do you not know how?"

Wang Yue nodded. "Huh? You're quite smart. Not bad. I don't know how."

Chen Wang: "..."

He originally thought Wang Yue was a genius, proficient in alchemy, formations, weapon crafting, and talisman drawing, and also knew many cultivation methods. He never expected that Wang Yue also had shortcomings.

Wang Yue glared at him. "What's wrong? I just think that crushing them with Divine Sense is a good method."

"As long as you cultivate your Divine Sense to be strong enough, other methods are nothing."

Chen Wang nodded. "I understand."

Old Wang clearly doesn't know how.

Wang Yue said, "I just know someone who does it. If you want to learn, that person would be a good choice."

Chen Wang's eyes lit up. "Who is it?"

Wang Yue said, "Elder Bai, who guards the Scripture Pavilion on the Back Mountain."

"The Sweeping Monk?!"

Chen Wang's eyes lit up.

Wang Yue asked in confusion, "What sweeping monk?"

Chen Wang shook his head. "It's nothing. Is this Elder Bai Bai's method of fighting with Divine Sense?"

Wang Yue nodded.

"If we're talking about the application of Divine Sense, no one in the entire Red Cloud Sect can surpass it, except for the Old Ancestor, and even that Guo Tianci is no match for him."

However, Wang Yue then sighed again.

"My relationship with Elder Bai is not very good. He is rather aloof and has a very strained relationship with the other elders in the mountain."

If Guo Tianci heard this, he would definitely start cursing.

Don't you have any idea who has the worst interpersonal relationships in the sect?

Chen Wang said, "Then what should we do? If I go to him myself, won't that expose that I'm only at the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

Wang Yue stroked his chin. "You don't need to worry about that. This person has a rather strange temperament. He rarely interacts with others. Unless you are at the Golden Core Stage, he won't be moved or gossip about it."

Chen Wang's eyes lit up. There are people like this!

"How come I've never heard of this Elder Bai before?"

Wang Yue said irritably, "You don't even know that the sect leader's name is Guo Tianci, what do you know!"

Chen Wang: "..."

Wang Yue's relationship with Elder Bai was indeed extremely bad.

He didn't want to say what the specific reason for their falling out was, and Chen Wang didn't ask.

Chen Wang went to the Scripture Pavilion on the Back Mountain by himself.

This Scripture Pavilion pavilion is not the place where the Red Cloud Sect collects Cultivation Method.

It was a quiet place, containing some ordinary books, including some history of the Red Cloud Sect and some major events that happened in the sect.

Not only that, but there are also some classics and historical texts from the secular world, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, which cover everything. However, the Immortal Method Cultivation Method and methods for cultivating immortality are not included; they are placed in another place.

Chen Wang was curious about this, so he asked Wang Yue, "Why would a cultivation sect have such a Scripture Pavilion, and why would they specifically send a Foundation Establishment Realm expert to guard it?"

Chen Wang felt this was very unreasonable; it was clearly not an important place.

"The White Haired Old Man is the first and only guardian of the Scripture Pavilion, and he has been there for sixty years."

Chen Wang was even more surprised.

Wang Yue said slowly, "You should know that before him, the Red Cloud Sect did not have a place called the Scripture Pavilion. He was the one who specifically proposed to create it, and the books in it were also specially collected by him."

"It's just that none of the disciples in the sect like it, so it's always been deserted and no one goes there."

Chen Wang: "..."

What a book-loving old man!

However, he had an added worry about dealing with this person. Could he really get the method of fighting with Divine Sense from such an eccentric old man?

Chen Wang couldn't help but have some doubts.

Arriving at the Scripture Pavilion on the Back Mountain,

This location was also personally chosen by the White Haired Old Man, but it wasn't his first choice. His first choice was a very conspicuous location, which is now the Technique Pavilion.

He wanted the Scripture Pavilion and the Technique Pavilion to stand side by side, but this proposal was rejected by the sect leader.

The Scripture Pavilion was built in a secluded spot on the Back Mountain. In addition, the disciples of the sect did not like these mundane books, especially since they contained many doctrines and dogmas, which were extremely dry and made people drowsy. No one liked to come here, so the place was always very deserted.

Chen Wang arrived at a cave with three large characters written on it, written in a flowing, elegant style: "Scripture Pavilion".

After Chen Wang went inside, he found that the place was relatively dry.

It is equipped with many formations, which can not only prevent snake and insect bites, but also prevent moisture and dampness.

From the outside, the cave doesn't look very big.

But once inside, they discovered a completely different world.

There are many bookshelves inside, and not only that, but also grids have been carved out of the mountain wall to display books.

Chen Wang looked through them one by one; they were all ordinary classics, including Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism.

Not only that, Chen Wang scanned each bookshelf.

His Divine Sense was extremely powerful, allowing him to read ten lines at a glance. He could clearly see that there were many books in this place, not only those from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, but also from the Hundred Schools of Thought, including the Mohists, the Military Strategists, the Novelists, the Agriculturalists, the Miscellaneous Schools, and many lyrics, songs, and poems.

It does indeed resemble a proper library.

Unfortunately, he was born in the wrong place, in a sect of immortal cultivators.

Chen Wang did not find the White Haired Old Man inside.

"White Haired Old Man" is not a title or nickname for him, but his name.

This man's surname was Bai, his given name was Fa Weng, and he called himself Five Willows Gentleman.

However, Chen Wang eventually spotted Mr. Five Willows Gentleman in a corner.

This was an elderly man with white hair and beard, and a ruddy complexion.

He was lying on the ground, holding a book in one hand and reading.

There was also a plate of candied fruit and tea next to him, and he looked quite content.

There's a feeling that external conflicts don't bother me at all.

"There's actually a Foundation Establishment Realm expert in the mountains!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

When someone came in, the White Haired Old Man seemed completely oblivious, continuing to read the book in his hands.

Chen Wang stood there for a while, initially not disturbing him, but later he realized that if he hadn't bothered the old man, he probably would have watched until the end of time.

He then coughed lightly and said softly, "Disciple Chen Wang greets Elder Bai."

He repeated it three times, but the old man didn't react.

Chen Wang couldn't help but repeat, "Disciple Chen Wang greets Elder Bai."

The old man then removed the book from his face and leaned against a rock, looking extremely comfortable.

His eyes were very bright, like a young boy's, and he curiously looked at Chen Wang.

"Has the Old Ancestor passed away?"

The White Haired Old Man said.

Chen Wang paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head.

"No."

"Other sects are pressing in with their armies, our sect is in dire straits, and our gates are about to be breached?"

The old man asked again.

Chen Wang shook his head again. "No."

The old man frowned and said, "If it's not that kind of thing, why are you bothering me?"

Chen Wang was immediately stunned.

Isn't this the Scripture Pavilion?

Shouldn't we welcome disciples to come and read and borrow books?

The old man's attitude seemed to be different from what I had expected.

"He really is a strange old man."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

He then respectfully said, "Disciple Chen Wang wishes to ask Elder Bai for some methods of fighting with Divine Sense."

Elder Bai said, "You're not interested in all these books on the mountain, but insist on learning some kind of Divine Sense combat method. It's clear you're just an ordinary person. Go away, I won't teach you!"

Chen Wang said, "I have seen these books before. They encompass the works of various schools of thought and are indeed extraordinary. To be honest, I am quite interested in these books. However, I would also like to obtain the method of Divine Sense combat. I beg Elder Bai to grant my request."

Elder Bai said, "You're all talk and no action. Whose disciple are you? Little Qin or Little Luo?"

Chen Wang thought to himself, "Could the 'Little Luo' he's talking about be Elder Luo?"

Chen Wang said in a deep voice, "This disciple is from the Green Bamboo Peak lineage, and is a Wang Zhenren of Wang Yue."

Elder Bai suddenly changed. "You are that little bastard's disciple!"

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat. Had their relationship deteriorated to this extent? They couldn't even mention each other's names?

"This disciple is none other than the disciple of True Person Wang Yue."

Elder Bai glared at him. "I knew it! Only three people knew I knew the Divine Sense Technique. That bastard Xiao Wang is a master at ripping off disciples. You dared to side with him?"

Chen Wang said solemnly, "My master has taken great care of me and has always taught me with great care."

Elder Bai glared at him. "Are you telling the truth or lying, kid?"

Chen Wang said earnestly, "Of course it's the truth."

Elder Bai stood up. He was tall and burly, a head taller than Chen Wang. When he stood up, he looked very visually striking. "Judging from your tone just now, you seemed quite protective of your master."

Chen Wang said, "How can a disciple be a disciple if he doesn't protect his master?"

Elder Bai's eyes lit up. "Interesting. Before you came, your master should have told you that his relationship with me was very bad, but you openly stated your master-disciple relationship and your words showed a lot of protectiveness. Aren't you afraid that I won't pass on this Divine Sense technique to you?"

Chen Wang frankly replied, "Of course I'm afraid, but a true man has things he should do and things he shouldn't do. If I'm afraid to even acknowledge my master for some petty gains today, how can I accomplish anything great in the future? If I'm not a decent human being, how can I cultivate immortality!"

The tall and imposing Elder Bai paused for a moment, a look of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

"What a great man! He knows what to do and what not to do. What a foolish man! How can one cultivate immortality if one is not a decent human being!"

"Wang Yue has taken on a good apprentice."

His words revealed undisguised admiration.

Chen Wang said, "Elder Bai, about my request for the Divine Sense Combat Technique..."

Elder Bai smiled and said, "One thing at a time. Although I admire you, I am unwilling to teach you this method."

"Besides, this is the first time we've met. Why should I teach you such a precious method?"

"You should step back."

Chen Wang showed no expression, but simply bowed respectfully before turning and leaving.

Seeing that he didn't persist, Elder Bai's eyes showed even more appreciation.

A moment later, Chen Wang walked in again and said respectfully, "Disciple Chen Wang greets Elder Bai. I have come today to request the method of fighting with Divine Sense."

The tall, imposing Elder Bai was no longer reading his book; instead, he turned sideways to look at Chen Wang.

"Didn't I say that before?"

Chen Wang said with a smile, "This is our second meeting, isn't it? Once we meet, we're strangers; twice we get to know each other better, right?"

Not only that, he also took out a pig's leg from behind him, tied it with straw rope, and carried it in his hand.

"It's not that I don't know the rules, it's just that I didn't have time to take them out earlier."

The white-haired old man was taken aback. "A pig's leg?"

Chen Wang nodded. "In my hometown, we always bring a gift when we visit someone's home. This pig's leg is just a small token of our appreciation."

The white-haired old man said, "You're quite an interesting young man. I haven't seen a young man like you in a long time."
