Chapter 123 – The untold matters between the young master and the senior predecessor

In front of Elder Miao's small building.

The Great Elder stood with his hands behind his back, enveloping the small building with his aura.

Zhang Moshan and Yang Wudi also stood behind the Great Elder, their expressions frozen, as if they were made of wood, or as if they had lost their souls, unable to catch their breath for a long time.

They stood within the Great Elder's aura barrier and could still hear the voices coming from the small building behind them:

"Drink this? It's our North Wilderness' wine."

"Drink mine, wine from thirty thousand years ago."

"Will this thing go bad? Thirty thousand years? The spiritual energy in the wine must have dissipated long ago."

"Why are you being so picky? Today, don't anger me!

This is the Dao wine brewed by a transcendent master of wine cultivation! The only wine that can get me drunk. If you don't want to drink it, I won't give it to you."

"Alright, I'll fill yours up. Congratulations on your great display of power today and beating Deputy Deity of Lifespan!"

Is this real or fake?

Mao Aowu, who was on guard at the window, looked around cautiously. After all, he had eaten with the Heavenly Emperor before, so he wasn't too shocked by this scene.

Ji Mo and Lin Qi were slightly more shocked, their faces turning pale.

The two brothers exchanged a glance and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes. They turned their heads to look at the old and young sitting on the soft couch, pinching each other's thighs to confirm if they were dreaming.

Wu Wang asked, "Why don't you let them join the table? Aren't they the promising younger generation you have high hopes for?"

"Teacher, it's not appropriate!"

Lin Qi hurriedly said, "I and Brother Ji are unworthy. How could we dare to sit at the same table as the Heavenly Emperor!

We'll just stand here. If there's anything the teacher needs, just call us!"

Ji Mo:...

Actually, he really wanted to join them.

Shen Nong smiled and said, "Is it just wine without food? You, as a grandmaster, should entertain your guests better."

"Suqing, go get some good dishes. Don't disturb the others."

"Yes, yes!"

Lin Suqing's voice trembled slightly as she walked to the window and jumped down, disappearing in a flash.

Elder Miao lowered his head and walked to the stairs, quickly changing into a decent and elegant warm yellow dress that didn't reveal anything. She stood quietly in the corner, ready to add wine and dishes as a maid at any time.

Wu Wang saw this and couldn't help but sigh with regret.

If Ling Xianzi were here, serving wine and dishes to the Holy Empress and the Demon Empress, and toasting with the Heavenly Emperor.

That would be a small climax in life, a small peak in life!

Wu Wang held the wine cup in both hands and lightly touched it with the old senior, each taking a small sip. The taste of the wine from thirty thousand years ago spread from the tip of his tongue, with a real spicy sensation.

It's so strong.

Shen Nong asked, "Do you know about the situation in the north?"

"That Deputy Deity of Lifespan, rumored to be a powerful god, is really ruthless," Wu Wang sighed with a smile. "He directly arranged a great defeat in the Heavenly Palace."

"What defeat? We only had a small victory."

Shen Nong whispered, "The gods they killed or injured had their paths suppressed by the Heavenly Palace, and it will take some time to cultivate new minor gods.

But the ones we killed or injured are true transcendent beings who have comprehended the Dao on their own.

What you just said to them has actually happened, but the news has been suppressed by me. How long it can be suppressed, I don't know."

Wu Wang said, "Spreading rumors in the Human Realm with the means of the gods is not difficult... Let's drink."

Clank!

The wine cups lightly touched, and the fatigue on the face of the Heavenly Emperor faded slightly.

Shen Nong smiled and said, "Not bad. Just like that Qiong Qi, it's best at confusing people's hearts and instigating trouble. But when it comes to a fight, it hides farther than anyone else. I want to beat it, but I can't."

"Senior, are you injured?"

Shen Nong said, "It's just Deputy Deity of Lifespan... not the Heavenly Emperor... You just mentioned so many troublesome things. If you were to make decisions for the Human Realm, how would you handle it?"

Wu Wang said, "You definitely wouldn't accept my decisions, senior."

"Go ahead," Shen Nong stared at Wu Wang. "Are you indirectly insulting me?"

"It's just a misunderstanding. I admire you so much, how could I say such things?"

Wu Wang smiled and said, "I'm just saying that my personality is different from yours, and my decisions would be different too.

If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate too much. I would directly gather experts and attack the Heavenly Palace, calling for one or two helpers.

I would take the initiative."

Shen Nong scolded, "Is it that simple? If the Heavenly Palace were really that easy to deal with, would I have waited until today? You don't understand anything."

Wu Wang immediately stared back, "I don't understand, and you didn't mention any of those secrets either!"

The others in the room were really nervous, afraid that their master, Wu Wang, and their teacher would be slapped into meat patties by the Heavenly Emperor.

The obedient Lin Qi was still thinking about how to defend his teacher;

The far-sighted Ji Mo had already started thinking about how to write the funeral wreath and couplet!

Elder Miao lowered her head and moved forward, pursing her lips, and restrained her charm to the lowest level. She filled the Heavenly Emperor's cup with wine.

The door was cautiously pushed open, and Lin Suqing, drenched in sweat, used her mana to wrap several carefully selected dishes and placed them on the low table.

Finally, it looked like they were having a small drink.

After drinking in silence for a while, they both felt a little tipsy. This wine from thirty thousand years ago had a unique flavor.

"How do you plan to deal with it, senior?"

"Pretend to be sick."

Shen Nong said calmly, "Adapt to the ever-changing by remaining unchanged. Just say it's the price of prolonging life and that you can't move around freely afterwards.

The Heavenly Palace wants us to think that they are no longer a threat, so let's make them think that their chance to make a move will come soon."

Using a feigned illness to counter a feigned illness?

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow. This was something he hadn't thought of before. After careful consideration, it was indeed a clever strategy.

"But Wu Wang," Shen Nong said, "although I know your heart is not in the Human Realm and your ambition is not for my position, I still hope that in the next hundred years, you can step forward and do something for me."Wu Wang frowned slightly, "Being an official in the Human Realm is too uncomfortable. If I become a sect master, I have to worry about the disciples' cultivation and guide them in their conduct and actions. I can't do anything else."

"Could it be that the young man I have high hopes for is afraid?"

"This simple provocation won't work," Wu Wang smiled, "Can't the seniors from Renhuang Pavilion and Four Seas Pavilion do it?"

"They are all rare talents."

Shen Nong smiled, "In order to ensure a smooth transition of the throne of the Human Emperor, I have also cultivated a group of talents for the next generation. The Xiaojian you already know is one of them."

Wu Wang:......

"Elder, can the Thirteen Cold Swords really be refined into one sword?"

"Of course, this statement is not entirely accurate. It should be about eliminating unnecessary moves and instantly unleashing all of one's strength."

Shen Nong leaned forward with his wine cup, and Wu Wang did not dare to refuse, so he held the cup in his hands to receive it.

The elder continued, "Don't change the subject. I personally came to invite you. Isn't that enough face?"

Wu Wang forced a smile, "I wanted to say..."

"How can I not understand you? We are like grandfather and grandson."

Shen Nong laughed:

"You have a strong sense of self-esteem, thinking that I want to bind you to the Human Realm's chariot by appointing you to an important position.

There's no need for that. The Human Realm has never had any expectations of any gods. The Human Realm relies only on itself and can only rely on itself. Otherwise, after such a long time, three generations of Human Emperors, the Human Realm would have long been disintegrated by the gods.

I value three things about you: first, you are a human; second, you always have various strange ideas; third, you have that power within you."

"What power?"

"Speaking of this, I find it strange too."

Shen Nong looked at Wu Wang up and down, puzzled, "You grew up under the radiance of the gods, but why do you feel more skeptical about the gods than I do?"

"Well..."

Wu Wang put a peanut-shaped spiritual fruit into his mouth and chewed, the fragrance filling his mouth, "My mother taught me."

"Oh?"

Shen Nong took a sip of wine and asked, "How did she teach you?"

"Cough, elder, you see, everything in the world..."

Make it up, quickly make it up. If I don't confuse the elder today, I will feel sorry for the one-third of the philosophy class I took as a volunteer in my previous life!

Not only Shen Nong, but everyone in the room's gaze fell on Wu Wang's face, more or less with expectations.

This is a discussion with the Human Emperor.

Wu Wang said, "My mother said that everything in the world actually exists on its own. Elder, look at this wine cup. Is the original material used to make it, clay, created by us?"

"No, it's not."

"Everything is the same. It is not created by us, but it can be influenced by us.

Here, I want to popularize two concepts. One is consciousness, which is the thinking and thoughts of all spirits. This is the idea generated by our physical bodies;

The other is heaven and earth, which is the realm we are in, the earth, sand, wind, rain, and the countless stars in the sky.

Consciousness and matter are the foundation of this heaven and earth, and consciousness is the product of the long-term accumulation of matter."

Shen Nong asked, "How does the Primordial God explain this?"

Wu Wang's eyes turned, and he said seriously, "The Dao is an intangible thing, but it is a tangible principle. The Primordial God is born from the Great Dao, that is, it is nurtured by this heaven and earth.

The various races can be considered as extensions of the consciousness of the Primordial God, but they are independent of the consciousness of the Primordial God.

You see, matter and consciousness match up, don't they?"

Shen Nong smiled, "It seems to make some sense."

Wu Wang said, "From this perspective, is there anything awe-inspiring about the gods?

Every independent thinking consciousness has the right to survive in this heaven and earth;

If we cannot respect the rights of other consciousnesses, we will inevitably be defeated by more consciousnesses.

Elder, can the Primordial God, who can only control the Great Dao but cannot modify it, call themselves gods?

They are just stewards of this heaven and earth."

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

Shen Nong slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, "You, you can say things that make me happy."

"This is called resonance of thoughts."

Dang.

The father-in-law clinked his wine cup and they both drank a cup, laughing at each other.

"Your mother has great insight," Shen Nong exclaimed, "If there is a chance, I really want to discuss with her."

Wu Wang smiled, "We will meet at the engagement banquet."

"You still want an engagement banquet?"

Shen Nong glared at Wu Wang, and his old face was already slightly flushed.

"I won't force you either, so as not to be accused of bullying the weak.

Oh, I just killed an Evil God. The divine power on that Evil God's body is quite abundant. I also spent a lot of effort erasing the remnants of its consciousness, preserving its divine power completely.

Forget it, it seems that no one can use it..."

"Elder!"

Wu Wang grabbed Shen Nong's hand holding the wine, his eyes shining brightly, "I can!"

"Oh, really?"

"Of course!"

Wu Wang patted his chest, his face turning red, and he said firmly:

"Your matters are my matters! Just tell me what to do! I am a brick in the Human Realm. Wherever there is a need, I will go!

Should I become the master of Renhuang Pavilion or an elder of Four Seas Pavilion? Or should I open a new pavilion and help you catch the rats in the Human Realm?"

The others were stunned.

Lin Suqing couldn't help but poke her own eyes, and Elder Miao frowned and pursed her lips, finding it hard to believe what she was seeing.

Ji Mo and Lin Qi, on the other hand, had eyes full of admiration as they looked at Wu Wang.

Shen Nong repeatedly waved his hand, "This is too much pressure on you."

"As a member of the human race, it is our duty to contribute to the Human Realm," Wu Wang said loudly, "Elder, your matters are my matters! Just give me direct orders. Overcoming difficulties is our responsibility.

As my great-grandfather said, even if there are no difficulties, we should create difficulties and face them head-on!"

Shen Nong smiled and narrowed his eyes, taking out a scroll from his sleeve and said slowly:"This is a letter of introduction. In a few months, when the turmoil outside has subsided, you can report to the Renhuang Pavilion and take up a minor official position to handle the subsequent situation.

On ordinary days, you should still cultivate in the Mie Sect. If your presence is needed, then you should step forward."

"No problem."

Wu Wang took the scroll and laughed, "Those divine powers, others can't use them anyway."

"Every year, I'll give you ten percent. It's all with Liu Bairen."

Is this some kind of installment payment?

"Ten years..."

"If I give it all to you, could you swallow it all at once?"

"Hehe, that's true," Wu Wang raised his wine jar, "Then in the future, please take care of me, senior."

"Sure, sure," Shen Nong squinted and smiled. This smile gave Wu Wang a sense of crisis.

But that was a real Evil God, not the blood of an Evil God or the essence blood of an Evil God. The opportunity for his own strength to soar had arrived!

Shen Nong said, "Wu Wang, since your cultivation level is relatively low, but your divine consciousness and physical strength have made some progress, why not cultivate some body cultivation methods of the Human Realm?"

"I had such an idea before, but I've been too busy to get around to it."

"Do you know that Xing Tian abandoned his original divine power baptism and turned to body cultivation? His strength has been advancing by leaps and bounds."

Shen Nong praised, "If it weren't for this guy's slow thinking and stubbornness, I would have wanted to directly cultivate him as my successor. He could have fought against a Heavenly Immortal by now."

Wu Wang chuckled inwardly. Xing Tian was indeed a war god.

Shen Nong specifically transmitted his voice to advise, "Body cultivation only requires you to endure hardship, have enough talent, and have sufficient cultivation resources. Your strength can improve quite quickly.

You have such changes, and you have the body tempering of the star divine power. It would be a pity not to cultivate your body.

Even mastering some battle methods is good."

"I'll cultivate it when I get back," Wu Wang laughed, "How can I improve my Dao realm without comprehending the Dao? And how can I increase my lifespan without improving my Dao realm?"

"There's no rush," Shen Nong said, "Your lifespan is at least several thousand to tens of thousands of years. You don't have to force yourself to improve your Dao realm in such a complicated situation.

It's most important to quickly improve your combat power."

Wu Wang nodded seriously, "Then, senior, please help me find a teacher when I get back."

"I'll have Liu Bairen personally guide you."

"Does Pavilion Master Liu cultivate his body?"

"He cultivates both," Shen Nong laughed, "This guy can take a full blow from me. He contributed the most to killing that Evil God."

"Then I'll prepare more gifts for Pavilion Master Liu."

"Hahaha! Don't you corrupt the atmosphere of my Renhuang Pavilion!"

With a few clinks, the two of them clinked their glasses together.

They chatted and gossiped, talking about the changes in the Human Realm and criticizing the gods.

If their figures were hidden, anyone listening outside the window would probably say - these two are really bragging.

As the wine flowed, Shen Nong called Lin Qi over, casually patted Lin Qi's shoulder, and helped Lin Qi to start the first stage of transformation of the Yan Emperor's command in his body.

"You're a good seedling. I can still deal with the gods for a thousand years. I hope you'll cultivate diligently during these thousand years."

"Yes!"

Lin Qi, with all his strength, said firmly, "Junior will follow behind teacher, serving His Majesty with all my might!"

Shen Nong handed over the wine cup, "Good spirit, have a drink."

"Yes!"

Lin Qi, with trembling hands, took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He smashed the wine cup, bowed his head, and stood tall and silent on one side.

Shen Nong: ...

He had used that wine cup for tens of thousands of years...

Lin Suqing immediately brought over three small wine cups.

Then Wu Wang laughed, "Brother Ji, come and have a drink."

Ji Mo backed away repeatedly, "No, no."

Wu Wang said, "Senior, do you have any cultivation methods suitable for Ji Mo? He always goes to the flower building to comprehend the Dao, which makes people laugh when they hear about it."

"Can't he dual cultivate with his wife after getting married?"

Shen Nong frowned, "Young people should be cautious in their words and deeds, and not be too absurd."

"Yes, yes," Ji Mo was sweating profusely, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will find one immediately."

Shen Nong, slightly drunk, laughed, "Come and have a drink with me."

Ji Mo quickly stepped forward, took the wine cup with both hands and drank it all in one gulp. He also followed Lin Qi's example and smashed the wine cup, then bowed his head and stood next to Lin Qi.

As for why they smashed the cup... it was probably to show their determination, which seemed more imposing.

In the small building, the wine and meat passed through their intestines, and the drunkenness became more apparent.

Shen Nong sighed, "Looking back on my life, all my friends and relatives are gone. If I want to drink, I can only find you, a little slick."

"We have a deep father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, why are you being so polite?"

"You should solve your own problems first, before talking about father-in-law and son-in-law!"

Shen Nong slapped the table, "I'll tell you clearly today, our relationship is currently limited to grandfather and grandson."

Wu Wang cursed, "Aren't you taking advantage of my parents for nothing? Should my parents call you father when they see you?"

"Each to their own, I'll call them Dao friends when I see them."

"I have a mutual affection with your daughter, you know that! Why do you get to make decisions for her! Each consciousness is free!"

"The betrothal gift is the head of the Heavenly Emperor, you figure it out."

"Can I write an IOU? Burp!"

Wu Wang frowned, "If not, I can pay in installments. I'll think of a way to get some of his beard or hair as a down payment."

"That's not impossible, how you do it..."

"You don't need to worry about that, I have my ways! Burp! I, Wu Wang, always keep my word, I will definitely... burp! I will definitely get this done for you!"

Inside and outside the door, everyone's gaze at the world was filled with more doubt.

That day, the Human Emperor and the Young Master got drunk.

The specific situation is not recorded in the books. Those who knew about it were extremely reticent and dared not mention it too much.
