Teaching the Law at Black Stone Courtyard

Outside the Black Stone Courtyard, Venerable Black Mountain and Venerable White Bone came together to offer their congratulations.

A venerable one withstood the challenge of a mage's leap forward; such an achievement is nothing special.

They hadn't paid much attention to Hongku in the past, since Hongku had relied too much on the power of formations when he came to power.

Hongku has its own formations, and they too have formations for protection.

As long as they don't actively intrude into Hongku's formation, the opponent's array power is negligible.

But Hongku won too decisively and cleanly.

This straightforward and decisive way of dealing with opponents made both the Venerable Black Mountain and the Venerable White Bone uneasy.

The older you get, the less timid you become.

Unless there is a special need, they do not want someone like Hongku to harbor suspicion and hostility towards them.

Consequently, it became inevitable that congratulatory messages would be delivered to their door.

Outside the Black Stone Villa, two people arrived one after the other.

After the congratulations were recited, a reprimand was heard, and Wu Jin, who had been expelled from the sect, staggered away, covering his face.

"It's a bit of a pity, Wu Jin is innocent," the Venerable Black Mountain sighed.

"What do you mean by innocent or not innocent?" Venerable White Bone shook his head and said, "Can what they did in Dragon City be called innocent?"

"That must be led by Wu Chao, right?"

Why don't you say it was Jin Chang who was in charge!

The two bantered and exchanged words, and after a few breaths, they heard a heavy inhale from the Black Stone Courtyard, followed by an old and steady voice.

"Gentlemen, I am afflicted with a rare poison and have just finished a magical battle, so I am feeling somewhat unwell..."

"We won't bother you any longer if it's inconvenient!"

"It's inconvenient to greet you both, please come in!"

Before the Venerable Black Mountain could reply, Hongku from the Black Stone Courtyard extended an invitation.

"Should we go in or not?" Venerable White Bone asked in a low voice.

"Go in, of course we'll go in," said Venerable Black Mountain. "He won't gain anything by killing us with his formations, and besides, he's currently in a truce period. Breaking the rules by starting a fight won't do him any good. And would Daoist Lord even stand by and watch such a thing happen?"

"What you said isn't entirely unreasonable!"

The Venerable White Bone should descend.

Nevertheless, the two remained wary when they exchanged a glance.

After all, several Venerable Ones had perished in this small courtyard, which forced them to be on high alert.

Even if there's only a one percent chance of trouble, that's not the kind of situation they want to face.

But upon entering through the dilapidated door, the two found the courtyard calm and serene, without a trace of the murderous intent emanating from any formation.

Hongku sat down at a stone table in the courtyard, clutching his chest.

"Fellow Daoists, please have a seat!"

Zhang Xuezhou gestured with his hand.

His face was covered in a disguise cream, so whether his face was red or blue, he looked completely calm.

It would be impossible for Zhang Xuezhou not to feel a little nervous when he first met Black Mountain and Venerable White Bone.

But he quickly calmed down.

"He seems a bit wary of us," Venerable Black Mountain transmitted to Venerable White Bone. "I just noticed his heart rate increase!"

"My heart was racing a bit too," Venerable White Bone transmitted his voice. "I thought this old bastard was about to make a move!"

"We need to say a few more words, lest he misunderstand and think we're pulling strings behind the scenes!"

"That is!"

The beating of his mind at this moment corresponds to the hostility that Hongku possesses.

Perhaps at any moment, this hostility could erupt into a life-or-death conflict.

Venerable Black Mountain and Venerable White Bone clearly did not want such a hidden danger, nor did they want to be used as scapegoats.

However, it would be difficult for them to provide evidence to prove themselves, since they had indeed been wary and disliked this former number one mage of the Sacred Land in the past, and had even participated in some things against him.

The beginning is always the hardest, and this is the first step in trying to make normal contact.

"Venerable Hongku..."

"Fellow Daoists, there is something I am unsure whether I should say it or not!"

After Venerable Black Mountain took his seat, he had just opened his mouth and started to speak when he saw ' Hongku ' in front of him lower his eyes slightly before speaking.

"You speak first," said Venerable Black Mountain.

"After descending the mountain, I came across a method that I feel contains profound mysteries. I hope the two venerable ones can help me discern its meaning. I would be eternally grateful if I could gain any insights from it!"

Zhang Xuezhou has never liked being too passive in conversations, especially when it comes to imitating Hongku.

He would find it difficult to handle any back-and-forth pleasantries or secret discussions, and it might even lead to him being blamed in the future.

Even though his cultivation level was only at the Consciousness Creation Realm, any use of even a trace of Law Power would inevitably lead to a difference between him and Hongku.

In response, Zhang Xuezhou took the initiative to mention the 'law'.

"Discuss the Dharma? You want to preach the Dharma?" Venerable White Bone asked in surprise.

"I've stumbled upon this wonderful method, and naturally I want to share it," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "But I don't intend to give it away entirely for nothing. If you two fellow Daoists find it satisfactory after examining it, you can offer me a reward!"

"Interesting," Venerable Black Mountain nodded.

Tell me about it!

The Venerable White Bone nodded as well.

Having reached this age of cultivation, Venerable Black Mountain and Venerable White Bone have little need for techniques.

Moreover, if the two of them were to seek guidance, they would seek it from Daojun, and would absolutely not seek it from a Venerable One.

But since ' Hongku ' had spoken, they didn't mind listening. After all, when cultivators gathered, the most common topics were about cultivation, or perhaps sharing and exchanging treasures.

It was rare to Hongku being so friendly, so Venerable Black Mountain and Venerable White Bone also spoke up, ready to listen to his teachings.

Even if the other party's explanation is nothing special, they don't intend to undermine them; they'll prepare a small gift to try and build a closer relationship.

"Then I'll say it..."

Zhang Xuezhou spoke slowly.

He was now recounting the same story he had previously transcribed for the Goat Strength Demon King.

As one-third of the time spent listening to the Venerable One's teachings, Zhang Xuezhou also had an excellent memory, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to repeat what he had heard.

His difficulty lies in understanding.

The Venerable One's teachings were not addressed to him, but rather to Daojun and the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint. Consequently, the content of his teachings was extremely advanced, and many parts were not broken down or explained in detail.

Zhang Xuezhou thought that Goat Strength Demon King was at the Divine Ability Realm, might not be able to understand it.

Zhang Xuezhou obtained the relevant information, but he didn't know how to cultivate it, let alone how to translate it for Ren Yisheng.

To fully understand, it's clearly necessary to reduce the obscurity of the content, that is, to continuously simplify the content until he understands it.

Discussing the legal principles is clearly a good idea.

This is the Yedie River Holy Land, the main base where top cultivators gather. Finding such a place for top cultivators is extremely difficult, and getting these top cultivators to sit down and listen attentively to his teachings is even more difficult.

Zhang Xuezhou felt this was a good opportunity.

This not only allows him to deal with the congratulatory guests in this way, but also allows him to gain some benefits.

He began to preach the Dharma.

Venerable Black Mountain and Venerable White Bone initially didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a perfunctory scene. However, when Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that the manifestation of Yang Soul was almost like an external avatar, they exchanged a glance.

"That's a great Divine Ability!"

Venerable Black Mountain and Venerable White Bone felt their scalps tingle, completely unaware that ' Hongku ' could speak with such masterful skill.

This technique, let alone the need for communication, if one could truly cultivate an avatar, would be worthwhile even at their advanced age to become an apprentice.

Congratulations to Venerable Hongku...

Outside the Black Stone Courtyard, Venerable Yellow Sand also joined in the festivities as Venerable Black Mountain and Venerable White Bone came to offer their congratulations.

But before he could finish speaking, the Venerable White Bone shushed him and waved vigorously, which made him walk in with a puzzled look on his face.

As he approached, he heard the Venerable Black Mountain's warning and also gasped in shock.

"He's gone mad! He's revealing his most treasured skills without any restraint!"

His astonishment was no less than that he had shared his most treasured Yellow Sand Entanglement Technique. Unless it was a genuine inheritance or a matter of entrusting one's child to another, a normal person would obviously not do such a thing.

But Venerable Yellow Sand himself couldn't do it, and he didn't mind others doing it.

This made him sit down quickly.
