My apprentice is a little weird?

"So if Master wants to get out, one is to go through here in person, and the other is to wait until I absorb them all and then open a path for you~"

"Or maybe~Master is here today~"

Jiang Yan took a deep breath, and finally decided to wait here obediently for Shen Ming to finish everything.

There was no happy party. Shen Ming really listened to Jiang Yan's words this time. He sat cross-legged on the lotus throne and slowly absorbed and digested those gray balls of the mind.

Jiang Yan sat beside him, his chin supported by his hand, watching with dead fish eyes wide open, muttering to himself.

"Honghuang... Demon Court..."

Although he was looking at Shen Ming, his eyes were empty and his mind was drifting to who knows where...

'The cultivation system in this world is not fancy, but plain and pragmatic, very similar to the prehistoric world. The spiritual energy reserves are not exhausted. At least there are still people who can become immortals, but they just comprehend other people's ways.'

"But... why is it that no one can achieve enlightenment and become an immortal? There are countless great cultivators in the world, and there must be a few who slip through the net among the three thousand great ways, but there is no one..."

'Cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. Ordinary people think it means fighting against heaven, earth and people. Little do they know that heaven is the most gentle and truly selfless. It treats those who have achieved the highest level of cultivation the same as ordinary people. It is so selfless that it is terrifying.'

'Most single creatures or species that are all-powerful are selfish. Creatures like humans who can sacrifice themselves for the whole are a minority. The Way of Heaven is impartial and selfless, and aims to maintain world stability. It is quite repulsive to the uncontrollability of selfish people, because in the end, ordinary creatures still outnumber ordinary creatures, and the Way of Heaven is based on the will of the majority of creatures.'

'I am very friendly to creatures like the human race, who generally have no cultivation, reproduce quickly and have a short lifespan, and only a few small groups have cultivation, because this race will not destroy the world on a large scale.'

"So... could it be that the Heavenly Dao has sealed off all the Dao laws in the world, making it impossible for humans to become immortals?"

"As for the Ancient Heavenly Court and other forces... they were able to force them into the abyss. If it is said that there was no involvement of the Heavenly Dao, haha..."

Jiang Yan's expression remained the same, his eyes were empty, and his fingers were poking at the gray ball of his soul closest to him out of boredom, playing with it.

Then he opened his palms again, and wisps of five-colored spiritual energy emerged from his palms, as well as two wisps of black and white yin and yang energy. Resentment, turbid air, deathly air, etc. were all bound in his palms, making the ball of light in his palms become dim, chaotic and disordered.

'The natural way of heaven evolved from the initial chaos, and then transformed into all things; the spirit then cultivated the law, recognized the original heart, sought the way, and achieved immortality. Then it returned to the source, condensed the fruit of the way, reversed the process of the natural evolution of all things, and finally returned to the original and most primitive state of the Great Dao, that is, "chaos", and was called Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian'

'Also known as the saint.'

'The saint can recreate the world, refine the wind, fire, water and earth, and be immortal. Even if the great way is destroyed, he will not be destroyed. Even if the universe is silent, he will still exist.'

"How could such a person be sealed in the abyss? Or... the saints I understand are not that strong? Or... they left for some reason?"

Jiang Yan slowly loosened his palm, and the ball of light in his palm suddenly began to be incompatible with water and fire. Yin and yang conflicted, the five elements counteracted each other, and turbid air boiled.

But he just moved his index finger slightly, and those violent and fighting five elements stopped, with yin and yang separated and each was at peace.

Then they all condensed into a strand of magic power, with different colors floating in the air like hair, and then slowly outlined a witch clan secret spell.

That was the first spell and also the one Jiang Yan used most often. It could suppress and balance the other thirteen spells.

"The witch clan's secret spell... the thirteenth one... what does it represent?"

…………

Five days later, in the early morning, Yangjian City returned to its former bustle.

However, this excitement did not belong to high-level cultivators, but all to low-level cultivators and monsters, as well as those who could not control objects. After the excitement of the previous few days, they all returned in embarrassment.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Even though these people with low cultivation levels are far away, they are as fragile as the cultivator who was knocked away before.

Any aftermath could shatter their bodies, and it also made them self-aware.

Even at a conference, there are some areas where they cannot interfere as they please.

Outside the inn, Erleng Shanpao paced hesitantly outside the door, looking up at the plaque from time to time as if to confirm, then looking at the guide stone in his hand and hesitating.

"Brother, are we right this time? Did we go to the wrong two houses?"

"Don't argue, why are you arguing? How could it be my fault? There was clearly something wrong with the guide stone. I followed its route but it suddenly changed its mind halfway! It must be broken!"

"........."

"Don't make any noise!"

"I didn't say anything..."

…………

And in a room on the second floor of the inn.

"Alright, are you still playing? This is an extraordinary period, so you need to stay alert at all times and don't let anyone target you. You were acting like a decent person a few days ago, but you're suddenly not pretending today, right?"

"The Master has been in seclusion for the past few days. He finally came out today. Can't he let Shen Ming quench his thirst?"

"Erleng has almost passed by the inn three times without entering! You let him run from the east end of the city to the west end, then from the west end to the south end and then let him run back. Is that interesting?!"

"What can we do? The Master is so great."

"Well~ I like to hear that~... Ugh! What am I thinking about? Get lost."

Jiang Yan kicked Shen Ming with his big feet and slowly peeled her off him.

Then he quickly got out of bed, pulled up his pants and put on his coat, and left without looking back like a ruthless passer-by.

Shen Ming leaned against the head of the bed and said something angrily, her eyes were charming and her lips pouted slightly.

"Huh~coward master~I'm not satisfied yet"

Jiang Yan outside the door staggered for a moment, but quickly recovered.

.........

After a while, Shen Ming also came downstairs dressed neatly and appeared beside Jiang Yan.

"Master, we have finished our business here. If there is nothing else, we should go back~"

"As for those things... Shen Ming can suppress them now, and it won't be a problem to drag them out for ten or eight years~"

Jiang Yan crossed his arms and tapped his arms with his fingers, thinking:

"There's no rush for this right now. It's still some time before you become an immortal. I'm thinking about something else~"

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Yan laughed and shook his head.

"It's okay. It's too early to tell now. What if I'm wrong?"

Before Shen Ming could get angry, Jiang Yan dodged and ran to the side, taking two steps at a time down the stairs and arrived before anyone could make a sound.

"Xiao Shan Pao~How have you been playing with your sister these days?"

"Are you full?"

The mountain gunner outside the door was delighted when he heard this, and waved his hands and shouted:

"We've been eating so much these days!"
