Chapter 20: Lin Fan

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister!"

Turning around, Lin Fan bowed respectfully to Wudang.

At this moment, the urgency and desire for quick success of a person from later generations vanished.

At this moment, the pride brought by the system also disappeared completely!

Seeking the Dao!

What is sought is the Dao heart, the attitude, and the future.

In this real world, especially in the Primordial Era where Quasi-Saints walk everywhere and Great Luo Golden Immortals are as common as dogs, the so-called system was just a higher starting point and some assistance compared to others, not a capital for his pride and complacency.

In such a real world, there is no "Dragon Proud Heaven," and there is no "invincible just by cheating."

Think about it: aren't all the top supernatural beings in the current Primordial world like they are cheating? Even more outrageous than cheating!

Not to mention anyone far away, just take the Tongtian Sect Leader.

If he weren't transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, could he have been so smooth-sailing?

If it weren't for the blessing of Pangu's creation merit, could he have proven the Dao and become a Saint?

If Hongjun hadn't accepted him as a disciple and bestowed the Hongmeng Purple Qi, would the Three Purities necessarily have been able to prove the Dao and become a Saint?

Not necessarily.

After all, the Twelve Ancestral Witches next door were also transformed from Pangu's essence blood and possessed the complete inheritance of Pangu's twelve laws.

Logically speaking, by practicing the laws to prove the Dao, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had the opportunity and possibility to prove the Dao and become Saints.

But without a good teacher, without guidance, without support, who among them could have proven the Dao and become a Saint? In the end, didn't they all die and vanish into the long river of history?

"The Dao of Caution!"

"The Dao of Caution!"

"It seems my understanding of this path before was only stuck on the surface."

Sighing in his heart, Lin Fan had a brand-new understanding and view of his future and choices.

The Dao of Caution.

It doesn't mean being timid, nor does it mean avoiding all danger, and it certainly doesn't mean that staying away from all crises will ensure your rise.

Cultivation, Immortal Cultivation, Seeking the Dao!

If even the Dao heart is so unbearable, how can one talk about cultivation, becoming stronger, or proving the Dao?

Strike when it's time to strike, be decisive in killing, do your best to strangle enemies once identified, don't be flashy but don't hide, don't be cowardly but don't court death... this is the true essence of the Dao of Caution!

"Junior Brother seems to have gained some insight!"

Noticing the change in Lin Fan's aura, Wudang's eyes lit up.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she could see that Lin Fan had clearly changed, even to the point of being reborn.

"Thanks to Senior Sister's guidance!"

With his mindset changed, Lin Fan's smile was even more sincere, and he bowed to Wudang: "Senior Sister, I will take my leave now."

After speaking, Lin Fan turned and flicked his sleeves, walking outward with high spirits, no longer having the cowardly, hesitant, and uneasy emotions from before.

"Truly outstanding!"

As Lin Fan left, Wudang couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately after, she turned her head to look at an area: "Master, since you are here, why not show yourself?"

"Master should be very happy with Junior Brother's change!"

Zzz—

As Wudang finished speaking, the space near the mountain wall suddenly distorted.

Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader, dressed in a black Daoist robe with long hair casually draped, walked out from within.

"Haha, Wudang, it has to be you."

With a smile he couldn't hide, the Tongtian Sect Leader said approvingly: "Actually, the first time I saw this Junior Brother of yours, I felt his mindset was wrong, as if the whole world were his enemy, fearing that someone would attack him."

"However, combined with his situation, I could understand his thoughts, which is why I accepted him into the sect after seeing his talent!"

"But his biggest problem wasn't that, but the arrogance originating from his heart!"

Speaking of this, the Tongtian Sect Leader's face darkened, his tone serious: "Although I don't know where this arrogance of his comes from, nor what gave him the confidence for such arrogance, there is no doubt that such arrogance will kill people, including himself."

"I didn't expect that your words today would directly hide his arrogance completely. I can feel that the arrogance in his heart still exists, but it has now completely merged into his heart rather than overflowing into his words and expressions. This represents his progress and improvement."

"My disciples of Tongtian should be like this; disciples of a Saint should look down on everything."

"But such arrogance should exist in the heart; on the surface, there are still many things he needs to learn, comprehend, and even master!"

Listening to Tongtian's heartfelt remarks, Wudang also smiled.

She had also felt something wrong with Lin Fan before, but couldn't say why for a while.

But after hearing the Tongtian Sect Leader's words, she finally understood that her perception wasn't an illusion and understood the reason behind it.

Thinking of this, Wudang bowed: "Congratulations to Master for gaining another personal disciple!"

"However, Master, you heard what Junior Brother Lin Fan just said to me; alchemy and artifact refining are not what I am good at."

"It's still early!"

Waving his hand, the Tongtian Sect Leader's smile remained as he looked in the direction Lin Fan had left: "Let him cultivate the Array Dao well first! After all, that is the method of my Jie Sect!"

"As for artifact refining and alchemy, the Three Teachings Grand Competition is coming soon. If his performance satisfies me, I don't mind speaking to your Eldest Senior Uncle and Second Senior Uncle!"

After speaking, the Tongtian Sect Leader didn't intend to stay, waving his hand: "Alright, Wudang, cultivate well!"

"You cultivate my Sword Dao. Although I just mentioned the shortcomings of Lin Fan, there is one point you need to learn."

"Your arrogance is not enough!"

After speaking, Tongtian took a step, and the space distorted as he disappeared from the spot.

"Arrogance is not enough?"

Looking at the area where the Tongtian Sect Leader had left, Wudang fell into deep thought.

……

Lin Fan was unaware of all this.

At this moment, having achieved his goal, he felt extremely comfortable.

After leaving Wudang's cave dwelling, he directly rode a cloud and began to fly toward his residence.

However, not long after flying, Lin Fan's forward movement paused, and he stared fixedly at a bamboo forest below while in mid-air.

Although it was only a flash, he was certain he had indeed seen a purple glow, and that purple glow felt extremely extraordinary.

"Purple light!"

"A strange aura."

"There is a treasure in this bamboo forest."

Muttering to himself, Lin Fan's intention to return dissipated, and he turned directly to fly toward the bamboo forest on the ground not far away.

Soon, Lin Fan reached the bamboo forest.

Flying above the bamboo forest, his gaze wandered and his divine sense scanned, searching for the area where the purple glow had been emitted. ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
