Phi-Fic Chapter 296 Reason
Chapter 296 Reason
The top of Kunlun Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the Yuxu Palace appears and disappears, just like a fairyland.
Inside the palace, incense smoke curled up and the sound of Taoism drifted in the air, creating a solemn and sacred scene.
Yuanshi Tianzun and the Two Saints of the West - Jieying Taoist and Zhunti Taoist - sat on one side of an antique square table, looking at each other. The atmosphere was a little solemn. They seemed to be immersed in their own thoughts and fell into silence for a moment.
Inside Yuxu Palace, the light was soft, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The murals on the wall, depicting ancient legends and mysterious runes, flicker with a faint light, adding a touch of mystery to this quiet space.
The tea set on the table is simple and elegant. The tea fragrance rises up and interweaves with the surrounding clouds, forming a picturesque scene.
At this time, the kind-looking Zhunti Taoist, with wisdom in his brows, flicked his sleeves lightly and spoke first, breaking the silence at the moment:
"Brother Yuanshi, that chaotic battle just now was truly thrilling."
"Thank you for showing mercy, otherwise, Senior Brother Jieyin and I might not be able to fight you to a draw."
His voice was gentle and sincere, and every word revealed his respect for Yuanshi Tianzun.
Jie Yin, who was standing by, had a bitter look on his face. He also raised his head slowly at the right time and took over the conversation with a hint of emotion in his voice:
"Brother, what you said is absolutely right. I didn't expect that after several Yuanhuis, Brother Yuanshi's strength is still unfathomable. We really admire him."
In Jie Yin's words, there was both recognition of Yuanshi Tianzun's strength and a bit of self-mockery.
He knew very well that although he and Zhunti also had high levels of cultivation, they were still somewhat inferior to Yuanshi Tianzun.
Yuanshi Tianzun was secretly proud when he heard the flattery from Jie Yin and Zhunti.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
After all, everyone likes to hear nice words, especially praise from an opponent of equal strength.
Yuanshi Tianzun gently waved his hand and said modestly:
“Junior Brother Jieyin and Junior Brother Zhunti, you are too kind. Although I have not practiced with you two for several Yuanhui, I can feel that your cultivation has improved.”
"I have benefited a lot from today's battle. The three of us should learn from each other and make progress together."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
The fragrance of tea was refreshing, as if it could wash away all the dust. Yuanshi Tianzun put down the teacup and continued:
"In fact, I still admire the Taoism you two have practiced. Especially the 'Lotus Magical Dharma' that Jieyin Junior Brother used, which is really mysterious and profound."
"And Junior Brother Zhunti's 'Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree' is even more powerful. I am very fortunate to be able to appreciate your unique skills in today's battle."
Although Yuanshi Tianzun praised Jie Yin and Zhunti verbally, in fact, he looked down on the two people in front of him.
After all, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was born from one third of Pangu's original spirit, has always been disdainful of the actions of the two Western saints, and even despised their behavior.
However, the two of them are saints after all. Even if they are taking out loans, they are still saints.
Now that the Conferred God Tribulation has begun, it is obviously aimed at the Jie and Chan sects. In order not to make enemies for himself, he can still be a little more friendly to the two saints in the West.
After hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Jie Yin and Zhunti were both slightly stunned.
They didn't expect that Yuanshi Tianzun would be so supportive of their Taoism.
A hint of smile finally appeared on Jie Yin's bitter face:
"Brother Yuanshi, you are too kind. In fact, I have always admired the Jade Purity Immortal Method and have thought about asking you for advice, but I never had the chance."
"I didn't expect that I would have the honor to experience the 'Jade Purity Divine Thunder' in this battle with Senior Brother Yuanshi Hun Dun. I'm not exaggerating, the power of that divine thunder is truly earth-shattering and breathtaking."
Zhunti also echoed, "Yes, Senior Brother Yuanshi's 'Jade Purity Divine Thunder' is indeed extraordinary."
"Although we in the West also have some thunder techniques, they are still far inferior to the 'Jade Purity Divine Thunder'. If Senior Brother Yuanshi is willing to teach us, the two of us will learn with an open mind."
After hearing their words, Yuanshi Tianzun felt even more proud. He knew that his strength and prestige were very important among the six saints.
Now that he could be so highly praised by the two saints from the West, he was naturally delighted. He nodded and said cheerfully:
"Since you two are so sincere in seeking my advice, I will naturally not be stingy. Once this matter is resolved, I will discuss the Dao with you two so that we can improve each other."
After hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Jie Yin and Zhunti both looked happy.
"Of course it's possible. It's an honor for both of us brothers to discuss Taoism with Senior Brother Yuanshi. When the time comes, I hope Senior Brother Yuanshi will teach me everything he knows." Zhunti responded.
Jie Yin on the side also nodded in agreement.
After a while, they got back to the topic. After chatting for such a long time, Yuanshi Tianzun still didn't know the purpose of Jie Yin and Zhunti coming to Kunlun Mountain.
So, he raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Jie Yin and Zhunti, and waved his sleeves lightly, as if to completely restrain the leisurely atmosphere around him, and asked:
"After chatting for so long, I am a little curious. Junior Brother Jieyin and Junior Brother Zhunti, what is the reason for you to come to Kunlun Mountain this time?"
The Taoist priest Jie Yin smiled slightly. His smile was warm and mysterious, as if it could tolerate all the sufferings in the world.
"Brother Yuanshi, you are too polite. We are here to discuss the matter of the Conferred God Tribulation."
"Oh?"
Yuanshi Tianzun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "I would like to hear the details."
Taoist Zhunti put down the teacup in his hand, stood up straight, and said slowly:
"Brother Yuanshi also knows that our Western sect has few talented people, unlike the Eastern sect, which is full of talented people and heroes. Therefore, my brother and I have always valued our disciples and treated them as treasures."
At this point, Zhunti Taoist's tone could not help but carry a hint of grief and sorrow. He paused and continued:
"When I learned that my most proud disciple died at the hands of Luo Shu, a third-generation disciple of Jiejiao, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue and hard to accept."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly and said slowly:
"This matter has long passed. Why are you bringing it up again now?"
He looked at Jie Yin and Zhunti with a sharp and deep gaze. His tone changed slightly, with a hint of confusion and a hint of reproach:
"Besides, even if you care about the death of the pharmacist, you should go to Jin'ao Island and ask Tongtian for clarification. Why did you come to Kunlun Mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Zhunti Taoist was slightly shaken, then bowed his head respectfully, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in his voice:
"Brother Yuanshi, you may not know that after learning of Medicine Master's death, I discussed with you about going to Jin'ao Island to force Master Tongtian to hand over the Luoshu."
"However, when I think about it, even Senior Brother Yuanshi suffered at his hands, let alone Senior Brother and I. Therefore, this matter has been delayed again and again until today."
