Chapter 146: Flesh Barrier, Dao Barrier

"Tian Shimei, don't you plan to go take a look?"

Walking out of the Tai Xu Divine Hall, Xuan Yang looked at Tian Shimei Jianzhu with a smile.

Jianzhu's face was a bit awkward, and she said: "If you want to go, go. Why should I go?"

Xuan Yang said: "That's a Heavenly Tier technique!"

"Get lost!" Jianzhu's face turned red, and she said: "We have cultivated to the Golden Core stage; can we break the core and transform into a Nascent Soul just by having lecherous fun with people every day?"

"Even if this kind of technique transcends the Heavenly Tier, I wouldn't even take a second look at it if it were placed in front of me!"

"Hmph..."

After speaking, Jianzhu stepped directly into the void and disappeared after two breaths.

"Fellow Junior Brothers, I have a thick skin, so I'm going to take a look. If I happen to find it, I will walk the path of Joyous cultivation from now on!"

An old man with white hair and beard darted into the sky. In an instant, his figure became like a bean, getting smaller and smaller until he disappeared.

Another person also flew out.

At the entrance of the Tai Xu Hall, only Xuan Yang, Chongyang, and Elder Hong remained.

"Let's go!" Elder Hong looked at Xuan Yang and Chongyang and said: "You two don't plan to go look for this Joyous technique, right?"

Xuan Yang and Chongyang smiled.

Elder Hong said: "That's good. Since you don't plan to go, come to my place first. Let's discuss something!"

The three turned into streams of light and left. After a few breaths, they arrived at another mountain peak and entered Elder Hong's Daoist field.

Among the disciples of Tai Xu, Elder Hong ranked second and was the Second Wang Shixiong.

"Second Wang Shixiong!" Xuan Yang asked: "What is it?"

Elder Hong said: "The old man... he might not make it much longer... calculated by the days, he is only a dozen years away from that thousand-year limit!"

"Hmm!" Xuan Yang nodded and said: "According to Master's age, that is indeed the case. However, the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is not fixed. Some can live to a thousand years, and some can live to eleven hundred years. If he is lucky, he should have more than a hundred years left!"

Elder Hong shook his head and said: "Hard to say, hard to say!"

Chongyang was a bit worried and said: "Then what should we do?"

Elder Hong said: "A few days ago, I went out and found two Qi Condensation disciples for him to choose for possession!"

"He didn't even see them and told me to let them go!"

"He said that he had never done anything harmful in his life, and that birth, aging, sickness, and death are the normal course of events in the world!"

"He doesn't want to do it all over again!"

The disciples fell silent for a moment.

Chongyang suddenly said: "Then... what did he mean by suddenly snatching my disciple today?"

"Don't know!" Elder Hong shook his head and said: "Perhaps... he suddenly became interested, seeing that He Xiaozi has talent?"

"That's the only way to understand it!"

"Fourth Junior Brother, don't complain. Isn't it quite good that this disciple is being taught by Master? It's better than being under your disciple!"

Chongyang said: "That's true, but it's hard for me to accept that my grand-disciple has suddenly become my Junior Brother!"

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now!" Elder Hong said: "Master is unwilling to come forward, but if we don't teach the Hou family and the Beast Taming Sect a lesson, the reputation of our Tai Xu Men in the Dao Xuan Alliance will inevitably plummet. I called you two here today to discuss this!"

"Think about what we should do?"

In the Tai Xu Divine Hall.

At this moment, only He Pingsheng and Biyun Laozu Tai Xu remained.

"Come here, closer to me!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm just an old man about to die, I can't eat you!"

Biyun Laozu Tai Xu shrank back into the huge golden armchair, stretched out his withered arm, and waved at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng hurried over.

"I heard from your Wang Shixiong Chongyang that you are a Five-Element Linggen?" Biyun Laozu Tai Xu's hoarse voice sounded again.

He Pingsheng felt a mix of emotions.

Just a moment ago, he was the Biyun Laozu!

Now he has become a Wang Shixiong.

This change is really big.

In that case, shouldn't my master Yu Ning call me Junior Uncle now?

He Pingsheng said: "Disciple is a Five-Element Linggen!"

What kind of Linggen someone has cannot usually be seen through directly.

Even old monsters at the Nascent Soul stage cannot.

To know, one must use a special formation to test it.

"Five elements are good, five elements are good..." Biyun Laozu Tai Xu had an envious expression: "I am thinking now, if I could have a Five-Element Linggen, how good that would be!"

"If that were true, I wouldn't be stuck here now?"

"I'm afraid I could have advanced to the Soul Transformation realm three hundred years ago."

He Pingsheng was suddenly curious and asked: "Biyun Laozu, what layer of the Nascent Soul stage are you at now?"

Biyun Laozu Tai Xu said: "Just call me Master, don't call me Biyun Laozu!"

"Uh..." He Pingsheng touched his forehead and said: "Yes... Master!"

"I am now at the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Rest assured!" That withered arm reached out and patted He Pingsheng on the shoulder a few times, and the old man said gently, "Even if you had a magic treasure of the Immortal tier on you, I wouldn't be jealous!"

"These things are already useless to me!"

"Hehehe..."

He Pingsheng nodded.

If Tai Xu really was at the ninth layer, then indeed, giving him anything would be useless.

He was almost dead; even if you gave him the best treasures, it would be impossible for him to break through from the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Soul Transformation Stage in a few decades of effort.

After all, there were three minor realms and one major realm in between.

"Come, give me a hand!"

"Do you see that? There is a small door in the back!"

"Let's go out through this small door and bask in the sun!"

Tai Xu was like an old mortal man with no cultivation at all; supported by He Pingsheng, he walked bit by bit to the back door behind the main hall.

Going out through the back door, behind it was a garden.

No, it should be said, it was a spiritual plant garden.

Many spiritual herbs were planted in this courtyard.

There were first-tier ones, and there were second-tier ones.

As for whether there were third-tier ones, He Pingsheng did not know, because even if he saw them, he wouldn't recognize them, nor would he have any way to distinguish them.

Biyun Laozu Tai Xu walked under a huge old tree!

There was a recliner under the old tree, and he lay down on it, slowly closing his eyes as he said, "Everything in this world is nothing but one yin and one yang, one light and one dark!"

"Life is also like this!"

"Human nature is also like this!"

"Take these Void Linggen for example!"

The ancestor closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "These cultivators with four Void Linggen, and cultivators like you with five-element Void Linggen, are treated like discarded shoes in the early stages of cultivation. Do you know why?"

"Because in their eyes, these are low-tier Void Linggen!"

"Why low-tier?"

"Because the cultivation speed is too slow, and filling them with spiritual energy is very difficult!"

"However, the Heavenly Dao is fair!" The old man suddenly opened his eyes, looked at He Pingsheng, and said, "Do you know how one cultivates above the Nascent Soul Stage?"

He Pingsheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This disciple struggles to break through even the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Stage, so I know even less about the cultivation methods of Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses!"

"Hmm!" Tai Xu said, "After a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, they must not only fill their dantian, break through physical barriers, and accumulate spiritual power, but they must also achieve something in Dao laws!"

"Before breaking through each layer of cultivation, one must first break the Dao barrier, and then break the physical barrier!"

"Do you know what a Dao barrier is?"
