Chapter 694: Tianque Spirit
"Good success lies in the present, but misfortune lies in the future. Young man, you are very eloquent."
Listening to the old man's relaxed tone, Shu Han 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 lowered his guard.
"This junior is clumsy and is just expressing his own opinions. If I have offended, I hope that my 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 world of constant disputes, Yunshangtian is like a paradise to hide from the world. However, this kind of comfort has fostered a pampered mentality among the people in the Tianque Sect. They go in and out of Yunshangtian and do whatever they want, but no one dares to stop them. They have lived like a playboy for thousands of years. It is difficult to find a disciple who has mastered the "Tianque Liuhe Jue" to the extreme. The current Nascent Soul monks in Tianque Sect are all accumulated in the past. In the next few thousand years, it is probably difficult for Tianque Sect to have a Nascent Soul monk. "
"The other sects, who have taken advantage of the power of the Taiyun Sect and the Rakshasa Demon Realm, dare not express their anger towards the Tianque Sect, but they have been holding grudges for a long time. Now, except for the two major sects in Yun Shang Tian, the strength of the Tianque Sect is indeed unmatched. The sect is capable of defeating us, but this kind of strength is indeed too great, just like you said, it’s 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 Yunshangtian. 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 that 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 a wrong move, we may be in doom.”
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 Great Cloud. The deeper you cultivate, the more you can see the unfathomable power of the two sects. They are the general trend of the world, and they are the current of the times. If they want to bring chaos to the Great Cloud, we will have no way to resist. "
Hearing this great late Nascent Soul monk with profound skills also describe the Taiyun Sect and the Rakshasa Demon Realm in this way, it deepened Shu Han's fear of the two 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. One can bring a bright future to Tianque Sect, so I have been undecided. "
"Obviously, I can't oppose Hong Ye to please the two major sects, because in this situation, Tianque Sect needs him to flatter and mediate with the two major sects, but I also want to preserve the independent and tenacious roots 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: "The reason why Linlin was able to practice the "Tianque Liuhe Jue" at the same time was because I secretly nodded; now that she can survive the Tianque Climbing Cloud Tribulation, it is because I secretly opposed everyone's opinions. I want to cultivate her and help her secretly. After getting rid of the Taiyun Sect's Dinglu identity, I will support her to ascend to the position of sect leader when the situation in Yun Shangtian comes to an end, and use her ambition to revive the Tianque Sect's self-reliance. This is the foundation that I have 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 Tianque Sect, you will be a great help to her."
Shu Han kept his affair with Shangguan Ruolin hidden 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 smiled and said: "The senior saw the potential of Linlin and me, and wanted to entrust Tianque Sect to Linlin and me after the storm settled. It is rare that the senior trusts and recognizes me so much. If Linlin takes charge of Tianque Sect in the future, I will definitely do my best to carry forward the name of Tianque Sect!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
"You are a good young man, but it is too early to say anything. You have to help Linlin break through the Nascent Soul stage before Taiyun Sect welcomes you. You have to know that I can't stand on your side to resist Taiyun Sect. If you want to get rid of control, you can only rely on the efforts of the two of you."
Shu Han bowed and said, "It is enough to have the secret support of the senior!"
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 master, I am not a descendant of the Shangguan family. I also knew the daughter of the Shangguan family privately like you."
Shu Han raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "No wonder the senior's surname is Wan instead of Shangguan!"
The old man sighed slowly, "You are better than I was back then. I was just an unknown A Jindan cultivator, by rights, does not meet the Shangguan family's criteria for choosing a son-in-law. But thanks to the appreciation of the ancestors, despite my humble status, I was able to marry her. In order to repay the kindness of the ancestors, I have worked hard to protect the peace of Tianque Sect for ten thousand years. This is why I am willing to secretly help you and Linlin now. I hope you can keep the peace of Tianque Sect for another ten thousand years like me. "
Shu Han bowed respectfully: "Senior's kindness, I will remember it in my heart!"
Then, Shu Han looked at the magnetic bodhi tree behind the old man and said with a smile: "Senior, this magnetic bodhi seed... If you get the help of the magnetic bodhi seed, Linlin should be able to safely pass the Tianque ascending cloud calamity and quickly achieve the position of Yuanying!"
But the old man still shook his head.
"No. "
