Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, Friend of the Same Path

"Senior sister, how did our ancestor manage to cultivate for so many years?"

Upon hearing that he would be going into seclusion for such a long time, Tang Yu couldn't help but ponder this question.

Having lived for so many years, all my relatives and friends have passed away.

To be left to live alone for thousands of years must feel incredibly lonely.

"What is cultivation? Cultivation is cultivating the mind. Many cultivators have talent but lack the heart for the Dao. It is inevitable that they will not go far on the Great Dao. That is why I told you not to rush into cultivation. Cultivating the mind is more important."

After answering, Liu Yanlan felt that her reason was too vague.

After a moment's hesitation, she felt it would be appropriate to share her own experience, and said softly.

"When I first went to the Joyous Union Sect to cultivate, I would return home once every ten years. However, after only three times, my parents passed away, and after two more times, my younger sister also passed away."

"When I returned to visit again fifty years later, the family was still there, but the old friends were gone. Looking at all the unfamiliar faces of the family members, a hundred years seemed like just yesterday. Only then did I realize how mournful the cicadas had been that summer."

"Those who cultivate immortality must go through all sorts of trials; without a firm and unwavering resolve, they cannot continue on this path."

After Liu Yanlan finished speaking, she looked up at the sea of clouds.

Even though you can't see the expression on her face.

Tang Yu knew that she was probably thinking of that home she had lived in for hundreds of years.

He asked softly, "Senior sister, hundreds of years have passed, do you still remember what they looked like?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Yanlan gently shook her head.

"It's already very blurry. No matter how high your cultivation level is, your memories will gradually wear down."

"If one cultivates the Tao to the point of being utterly alone, then even the Great Tao of immortality is nothing but a curse."

He smiled, went up to Liu Yanlan, and gently held her hand.

"But Senior Sister, don't worry, I will accompany you on the path of cultivation for countless years."

Liu Yanlan was stunned for a moment.

She had been stagnant at the Nascent Soul stage for many years.

At that moment, a few insights suddenly came to mind.

And a resonance that hadn't been felt in centuries.

Once male and female disciples in the Joyous Union Sect have developed sufficient rapport...

The two can then become Daoist partners, engaging in spiritual communion and dual cultivation.

But more than the shock of the resonance, her mind was filled with Tang Yu's words.

"If someone shares the burden, then the curse is nothing to worry about..."

After whispering a sentence in my heart.

Liu Yanlan gripped Tang Yu's hand tightly, her usually cold voice tinged with a fleeting excitement.

"Junior brother, today's conversation has been very insightful. Senior sister needs to go into seclusion for a while, so we'll take our leave now."

Tang Yu was about to say a few more polite words.

The space in front of her distorted slightly, and Liu Yanlan had vanished.

Smelling the lingering fragrance in the air, Tang Yu's face showed regret.

I was just thinking of having a heart-to-heart talk with my senior sister when I didn't expect her to rush off to cultivate.

With a sigh, Tang Yu used a magical artifact to fly back to the Cluster Jade Pavilion.

After returning to the Cluster Jade Pavilion, Tang Yu called out "Grandma" in her heart once more.

Soon, the surrounding environment transformed into the Divine Tree Space.

The little girl from the Divine Tree was lying in a rocking chair, yawning lazily.

"What's wrong? You look like you haven't slept properly."

Tang Yu reached out and pinched her cheek, asking with a smile.

"It's just too hot to move. Yuyu here to find memory fragments?"

"The little girl from the Divine Tree asked lazily."

Tang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I want to find fragments of memories from my previous journey through the cultivation world."

"Then you can flip through it yourself and see which one suits you."

With a wave of her little hand, the little girl from the Divine Tree summoned a multitude of memory fragments around Tang Yu.

These are all memories from Tang Yu's experiences in other villainous novels.

There are books of all types, and each book has a different identity, but their fate is always to be eliminated.

After searching for a while, Tang Yu finally identified one of the memory fragments.

In this fragment of memory, he is a henchman of a top villain.

In this novel's setting, he was invincible in the world the protagonist was in at the time.

Just when the protagonist was about to die, his powerful backer intervened and killed him with a single sword strike. What more can be said?

"This is it."

After finding the memory fragment, Tang Yu leaned over and pressed his face against the little girl from the Divine Tree, chuckling.

"Quick, help me extract a portion of my memories."

Okay.

After rubbing her face against Tang Yu's a few times, the little girl from the Divine Tree used her supernatural powers to extract a portion of the memories from the memory fragments.

After this part of the cultivation experience was implanted into Tang Yu's mind.

Tang Yu closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

After about ten minutes, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Okay, thank you, Grandma!"

"Mwah mwah mwah."

The somewhat tired little Divine Tree girl pecked Tang Yu on the cheek twice, then waved her little hand and sent Tang Yu out of the Divine Tree Space.

Back in the Cluster Jade Pavilion, Tang Yu sat cross-legged and began to seriously ponder the matter of cultivation.

Liu Yanlan had previously told him that the Heartless Patriarch went into seclusion was to comprehend the Dao.

And all cultivation worlds are inseparable from the concept of the Dao.

Only by comprehending the Great Dao can one become a Celestial Emperor!

Judging from the memory I just received...

The man who transmigrated into the book that time was no less powerful than the Immortal Emperor of this world.

After absorbing his cultivation insights.

Tang Yu decided to start learning from those handsome young men who became security guards at the age of twenty, so as to avoid taking decades of detours in advance.

He aims to attain enlightenment at the Golden Core stage!

After entering that mysterious state, Tang Yu felt her soul leave her body.

Begin to observe everything you experience in your life from an extremely mysterious perspective.

After observing himself, Tang Yu began to observe all things in the world.

A drop of dew fell from the sky.

An ant walks on the soil.

A vendor was walking down the street selling sesame cakes.

A young woman selling flowers walked through the alley, carrying a basket of flowers and calling out her wares.

A child was studying in a private school, but his gaze was fixed on the kites flying outside the window.

A powerful cultivator sat amidst a sea of clouds, drinking tea.

There were peerless sword cultivators wielding their sword energy amidst the Xinghe.

After reading through all of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Tang Yu finally saw a vibrant green leaf gradually wither and fall, landing on a pile of excrement.

However, the excrement gladly accepts the fallen leaves, and together they merge with the earth to become nutrients for the trees, allowing new green buds to sprout from the branches.

"The so-called process from birth to death is like rice turning into excrement, and excrement turning into fertilizer to return to the earth and nourish plants, just like the cycle of life, aging, sickness, and the four seasons in the world."

"The mysteries of this cycle of reincarnation are invisible to the world. People are full of prejudice and disgust towards excrement. Cultivators even have to abstain from grains and regard excrement as a primordial beast."

"Excrement, however, never heeds human prejudice. Born upright, it departs without regret, existing between heaven and earth in endless cycles of reincarnation, never dissipating. Its path to immortality is comparable to the Way of Heaven."

Tang Yu's understanding grew deeper and deeper.

A profound and mysterious aura of the Great Dao descended upon him.

Only the most Heartless Patriarch in the entire Joyous Union Sect, the Heartless Ancestor, sensed this wisp of the Great Dao.

He suddenly opened his eyes, having been in seclusion in the space.

After sensing that the aura of the Great Dao was emanating from the Cluster Jade Pavilion.

His eyes were filled with excitement and admiration, and he said "good" several times in a row.

He had already achieved enlightenment at the Golden Core stage.

This is unheard of in the Nine Heavens Continent!

His future achievements will undoubtedly be immeasurable!

In this way, he could finally put his mind at ease, no longer worrying that the Joyous Union Sect would decline after his death.

After stroking his beard and laughing loudly, the Heartless Patriarch spoke in a clear voice.

"My disciple Tang Yu possesses the bearing of a great emperor!!!"

At the same time, the patriarchs of the other six major sects among the seven sects also sensed this wisp of the Great Dao.

This caused the patriarchs of the six major sects to show expressions of apprehension, with the Jade Maiden Sect member being particularly shocked and frightened.

"What a Nangong Heartless! He has truly attained enlightenment."

"Alas, I am no match for him."

"Congratulations, Heartless Daoist Wuxin! I hope you will come to my Mount Myriad Swords after your seclusion so we can sit down and discuss the Dao!"

Clearly, the patriarchs of the six major sects all believed that it was Heartless Patriarch had been in seclusion, who had broken through.

Upon hearing the telepathic message from his old friend from Mount Myriad Swords, Nangong Heartless simply smiled and remained silent.

He was happy to act as a shield for his closed-door disciple.

Nine Heavens Continent, Immortal Realm.

When a cultivator reaches the pinnacle of the Great Dao and enters the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Those who survive the nine tribulations of lightning can attain the body of an Immortal Emperor and enter the Immortal Realm!

At this moment, in the Immortal Realm, a highly respected and experienced Immortal Emperor suddenly turned his gaze to the Lower Realm.

He spared a portion of his attention and headed straight for that familiar aura.

Upon arriving at the Cluster Jade Pavilion, this mental object transformed into a phantom figure.

He was a middle-aged man with a sleazy appearance but an extremely charismatic air.

Golden light shimmered in his eyes, as if he could overturn the world and cause the sun and moon to fall with a single thought.

Even with the level of Heartless Patriarch, he could not detect the arrival of this person.

The middle-aged man watched quietly as Tang Yu was comprehending the Dao.

Looking around, all he could see was himself at twenty-three.

After waiting a moment, Tang Yu, who had finished his enlightenment, opened his eyes.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man standing in front of her, Tang Yu felt a sense of familiarity.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your enlightenment. Although you have not yet fully merged with the Great Dao, from this day forward, we are fellow Daoists."

The middle-aged man smiled.

"You're too kind, fellow Daoist."

This was the first time Tang Yu had been addressed as a fellow Daoist, but upon seeing the man before him, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from him.

After a moment's hesitation, Tang Yu asked, "Fellow Daoist, did you also Dao Initiation through excrement?"

"Yes, otherwise how could we address each other as fellow Daoists? Fellow Daoists, fellow Daoists, for hundreds of thousands of years across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, you are my only fellow Daoist."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, his eyes full of appreciation.

I am not alone on this path!

Hearing the other person mention hundreds of thousands of years, Tang Yu could guess with his toes what level of big shot they were.

"Then you'll have to protect me, fellow Daoist."

Tang Yu didn't stand on ceremony; since they were like-minded people, they were already brothers upon meeting.

Why be so polite with your brother?

"I would like to as well, but unfortunately, being in the Immortal Realm, I cannot interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm. With your talent, it won't be long before we meet in the Immortal Realm. When we arrive, if anyone causes you trouble, just mention the name of Emperor Chenyang."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily.

With her Snow Divine Ability, no one in the immortal realm dared to provoke her.

"Very well, if we meet again in the Immortal Realm someday, a single word of 'fellow Daoist' will suffice to dispel all the vicissitudes of life."

Tang Yu smiled and agreed.

"Take care, fellow Daoist."

Jia Chenyang smiled nonchalantly, and his figure vanished.

After Jia Chenyang left, Tang Yu closed her eyes and sensed her own cultivation level.

He has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

This enlightenment was just the beginning; simply obtaining that wisp of the Great Dao's aura allowed him to leap to a higher realm.

However, after entering the Nascent Soul Realm, another problem arose before Tang Yu.

That means his skill level is already quite high.

For ordinary cultivators, the Nascent Soul Realm is already comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Old Monster.

In any of the seven major sects, a Nascent Soul cultivator is qualified to serve as an elder!

Although his cultivation level has increased, Tang Yu's combat strength is probably at the bottom among cultivators of the same level.

Because his cultivation period was too short, he didn't learn any special techniques or anything like that.

It's like everyone has roughly the same strength, but you use your fist while he uses a knife.

Will you be able to gain an advantage?

Fortunately, the most significant advantage of the Nascent Soul Realm is the ability to create one's own supernatural powers!

Tang Yu then entered seclusion again, attempting to create his own supernatural powers.

Compared to enlightenment, the ultimate challenge for cultivators.

Creating one's own supernatural powers is much simpler.

The supernatural power that Tang Yu wanted to create was the one he obtained from the system: "Words Manifest Fist."

The power of Words Manifest Fist delivered with words is determined by the lines spoken.

At that moment, he shouted, "Putting aside the facts, are men completely without fault? The destructive power of that punch is simply terrifying!"

That punch was the divine power that Tang Yu truly wanted to comprehend.

"There will always be male cultivators on the ground who dare to face the might of this punch!"

"I admire the first person who didn't give way to the female cultivator; he might have been implicated and punished by the sect."

"Male cultivators are bound to get punched eventually. I'll say it one last time: speed up your punches!"

"Juejuezi, really down, I really will thank you, ShuanQ, putting aside the facts, speechless, runaway princess, we're just saying, shallow..."

"In the name of God, I command you to step back!"

This was accompanied by Tang Yu beginning to create his own supernatural powers.

The spiritual energy in the entire Cluster Jade Pavilion began to become disordered, and the entire Joyous Union Sect could sense that something was wrong.

An aura of oppressive power continued to emanate from it.

All the male cultivators of the Joyous Union Sect below the Nascent Soul stage felt an immense pressure.

It was as if this supernatural power was naturally designed to counter them.

"Is this the Cluster Jade Pavilion?"

"Is Grandmaster Uncle creating his own supernatural power? Could he have already reached the Nascent Soul Realm?"

"What kind of technique is this? Why is it so domineering?"

The male cultivators of the Joyous Union Sect all looked at the Cluster Jade Pavilion with awe.

Grandmaster Uncle, you are indeed formidable!

After Tang Yu finished creating his own supernatural power, he opened his eyes and floated above the Cluster Jade Pavilion, throwing a punch at the sky.

After this punch was thrown...

Centered on the Cluster Jade Pavilion, the clouds and mist within a thousand miles dissipated, as if a hole had been punched in the sky.

Upon the Joyous Union Sect this scene, the elders of the Cluster Jade Pavilion to offer their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Grandmaster Uncle, on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Grandmaster Uncle is truly the greatest genius of our time!"

"Grandmaster's supernatural power is terrifying! Can you tell us its name?"

Faced with everyone's questions, Tang Yu pondered for a moment before answering, "I name this supernatural power 'The Thoughtless Punch'!"

"A good name."

Everyone exclaimed in unison in praise.

Only a name as imposing as this can do justice to the destructive power of this divine ability.

After leaving Cluster Jade Pavilion.

The elders were all beaming with joy, as if they were the ones who had broken through.

The gap between the Joyous Union Sect and the other six major sects has been widening over the years.

As elders of the Joyous Union Sect, they were also anxious.

Now, my grandmaster uncle has suddenly appeared, and his cultivation speed is nothing short of monstrous.

How could they not be happy?

With confidence, everyone felt more motivated, and the instructors also put in a bit more effort.

After Tang Yu stabilized his cultivation level slightly,

Then he picked up paper and pen and began to draw the second chapter of Fairy Meiyun's Misfortune.

After spending an hour drawing the second chapter, Tang Yu took it and headed straight for the Artifact Refining Hall.

When he arrived, Elder Hu was directing his disciples in refining weapons.

Today, they are not refining magical artifacts for cultivation, but rather a loom commonly used by mortals.

Last time, Tang Yu modified a loom into a loom specifically for making stockings.

The design drawings and samples were then handed over to the Artifact Refining Hall.

This is what the Artifact Refining Hall mainly does now.

After these looms were completed, they were stored in storage rings and sent in batches to several countries under the protection of the Joyous Union Sect.

These countries have already reached an agreement with the Joyous Union Sect to mobilize their national resources to transform and Joyous Union Sect in developing the clothing industry.

Tang Yu only needs to manufacture the machines and design the products.

Sales and other issues are handled by the Joyous Union Sect.

Upon seeing Tang Yu arrive, Elder Hu of the Artifact Refining Hall hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully greeted him, "Grandmaster Uncle."
