Chapter 484: He Wen

"Seen the Holy Lord!"

No matter how many doubts he had in his heart, when He Pingsheng saw He Wen, he still displayed a pious and respectful appearance, putting his hands together and bowing deeply to He Wen.

He was just short of kneeling.

He Pingsheng didn't understand what this putting hands together meant either.

After all, Daoism had no such etiquette.

But every time he saw Holy Lord He Wen, he expressed his etiquette by putting his hands together.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; you put your hands together, I'll put mine together too.

Let's put them together.

"Hehehe..." Seeing He Pingsheng, He Wen smiled and said: "Good, good... You kid have finally grown up; fourth layer of Nascent Soul!"

"When did you break through?"

"Old man remembers you entered that forbidden land before; why did you break through the fourth layer so quickly?"

"If not for the huge commotion you made in the Qi Kingdom, old man wouldn't have been able to see your traces at all!"

He Wen looked at He Pingsheng with compassion.

He Pingsheng said respectfully: "Junior was anxious for revenge, so I swallowed a few Glazed Infants, which is why I was able to break through so quickly!"

"I'm afraid I've already been stained with quite a bit of cause and effect and karmic force!"

"No matter, no matter..." He Wen said: "It is understandable!"

"Moreover, we cultivators seek longevity and fight against heaven for our lives; it is inherently an act of going against heaven. Who wouldn't be stained with a little cause and effect?"

"If one isn't stained with even a little cause and effect, how can one talk about cultivation?"

"Yes, the Holy Lord speaks the truth!" He Pingsheng asked: "I wonder if the Holy Lord has come here for He Pingsheng?"

"Mm!"

The Holy Lord nodded and said: "I have indeed come for you!"

"Old man solemnly invites you to stay on the Shengshan and contemplate the Dao together!"

"Ah?" Regarding this abrupt invitation, He Pingsheng became vigilant instantly. He gave a bitter smile and said: "Disciple still has some worldly matters unfinished; I'm afraid I can't go right now!"

He Wen smiled: "What worldly matters are left?"

He Pingsheng said: "Disciple received great kindness from my Master; now my sect is shattered, and I have yet to rebuild it!"

"Junior thinks that there is no need to rush my future cultivation; it is better to settle the sect first and let nature take its course!"

This was the truth.

Now, his enemies had been slaughtered, and He Pingsheng's cultivation and combat power were enough to protect himself in the Cultivation World.

It was time to consider rebuilding the Tai Xu Men.

The key was that previously, his cultivation speed was too fast; his Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages could almost be described as a wild sprint.

Cultivating too slowly naturally wouldn't work, but being fast wasn't necessarily good either.

The path of cultivation emphasizes a balance of tension and relaxation.

If it was too fast in the previous period, then next, he should slow down a bit, live slowly, and it would be best to integrate into the mortal world.

Or rather, go on a journey.

And rebuilding the sect, recruiting disciples, and educating the sect.

These could all be considered a form of traveling!

"Hehehe..." He Wen chuckled and said: "This matter is easy; with your current prestige, rebuilding the sect would be a matter of an instant!"

"Do you know why old man invited you this time?"

He Pingsheng bowed: "Junior does not know!"

Holy Lord He Wen said: "About a few thousand years ago, our Cultivation World was still connected to the Spirit Realm; after cultivators reached the Soul Transformation stage, they could ascend in broad daylight and fly into the Spirit Realm!"

"But about these past few thousand years, the channel between our Cultivation World and the Spirit Realm has been broken!"

"Old man has contemplated the Dao for many years; now I dare not say I am learned in both ancient and modern times, but I basically understand the things I should understand!"

"As old man's understanding of spatial laws has progressed, I have discovered that the channel between our Cultivation World and the Spirit Realm can still be reconnected!"

"But, relying on old man's ability alone, I certainly cannot do it!"

"Old man specially invites you to go to the Shengshan to contemplate the Dao together. If your spatial Dao techniques improve, you can also help me open the opening to the Spirit Realm sooner, so that we can connect to the Spirit Realm and benefit our fellow cultivators in this Cultivation World!"

No matter how flowery his words were, He Pingsheng shook his head like a rock: "Thank you, Ancestor, but Junior really cannot spare the time right now!"

"How about this, in a while, I will go over!"

"Hehehe!" He Wen chuckled and said: "Great, the mountain He Wen and He Nian are thinking of is always open, welcoming your arrival!"

He Wen waved his hand, and infinite spatial Dao techniques expanded before him.

A teleportation gate was formed.

He Pingsheng was shocked by the strength of this peak Soul Transformation old man, and hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, please pause; Junior has one more thing I would like to ask!"

He Wen smiled and said: "Speak!"

He Pingsheng asked: "In the Cultivation World, quite a few people have gone missing recently; my Wang Shixiong Wang Dun, my wife Qiao Huizhu, and that Xiao Xuan with the Void Linggen... May I ask Holy Lord, do you know the whereabouts of these people?"

He Wen smiled again: "When you arrive at the mountain I am thinking of, everything will naturally be revealed!"

"Hum hum hum..."

After speaking, the Holy Lord pushed aside the void and left directly.

Golden light flashed in He Pingsheng's eyes as he looked in the direction He Wen had left.

He Wen didn't return to the mountain he was thinking of in one breath through a spatial channel; this divine ability of his could only teleport a certain distance at a time.

It would take several hours to reach the mountain he was thinking of.

After the Heavenly Eye closed, He Pingsheng's brow furrowed again.

It seems that his wife Qiao Huizhu is likely already on the mountain he is thinking of.

What to do?

Should I go or not?

If I don't go, how can I find my wife and Wang Shixiong Wang?

But if I go, what if it's a trap?

He Pingsheng sat on the Eight-Treasure Boat, unable to make a decision for a moment.

Unknowingly, the Eight-Treasure Boat flew to the territory of the Dao Xuan Alliance.

In the mountains not far below his feet was the Matou Mountain market.

He Pingsheng did not stop at the market, but directly turned the Eight-Treasure Boat and headed toward the Tai Xu Men.

Half a stick of incense later, the Eight-Treasure Boat arrived above the Tai Xu Men.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense fell with a boom.

The entire Tai Xu Men was basically still empty.

Except for Jianzhu and some of her disciples, there was basically no one else.

Although there were few people, fearing He Pingsheng's fierce reputation, no one dared to have designs on the Tai Xu Men.

He Pingsheng did not go to the Tai Xu Men either, but landed in the small town outside and returned to his home.

The last time he came was more than ten years ago.

He Pingsheng walked into his small courtyard and found that it had been cleaned up spotlessly.

The doors and windows had been replaced with new ones, the ground had been repaved, and even the walls inside and outside the house had been whitewashed.

He was very satisfied.

He first went to offer incense to his parents and Wang Shixiong Hao, and then he sat cross-legged in his room.

"Hoo..." He Pingsheng exhaled deeply: The mountain I am thinking of, I still have to go!

But before going, there were a few things to do.

I don't know if this trip will be auspicious or ominous, so I must prepare enough things.

First thing: strengthening.

He took out the three rings he had obtained from Jiang Yu again.
