As the various factions left one after another, the Nameless Mountain Daoist temple returned to its former peace. Even the arrival of the Ancestral Masters of Changling lineage only lasted for a day or two. Shen Ping’s life was the same as before. Every day, other than s.e.x, he comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in this world.


Even with his experience in true spirit comprehension and the True Book of Dao Origin, his progress in the five elements was relatively slow. The Reincarnation Dao Bone did not even transform into a nomological bone.


It could be said that after breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm, this was the first time he felt the difficulty of cultivation. It increased at the pace of a snail every day. If not for the virtual interface that could check his advancement, he would have suspected that he was wasting his time.


“Fortunately, with the acc.u.mulation of the Dao fruits of the five Ghost Immortals, the Yin-Yang nomological laws have already broken through to the Earth Immortal realm and their progress far exceeds others. However, they are still far from reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm.”


In the quiet room of the Daoist temple, Shen Ping ended his morning cultivation and walked out of the house. He took a walk in the vegetable garden beside the fence. It had just rained, and the fragrance of the soil filled his nose, making him feel calm. He began to think about the difference between a blessed land and a grotto-heaven.


From the previous conditions of the Earth Immortals of the various Dao lineages, the power of the grotto-heaven was very precious. Initially, he felt that the power of the grotto-heaven was the power of the Great Dao, but now, it seemed that it was not the case.


In the middle of a walk, a figure appeared before him. This stunned Shen Ping. As a descender with a powerful true spirit, no one had ever been able to hide their aura in front of him.


“And you are?” Looking at this sage-like white-haired old man, he asked softly.


The white-haired old man stroked his beard and smiled. “I am Bai Wengzi of Tianshan. My Daoist name is Xue Jing.”


Shen Ping immediately understood and bowed. “So it’s Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing.”


The white-haired old man waved his sleeve. “I can’t be called a senior. I’m just a little older. As the saying goes, the new generation surpa.s.ses the old. Now that Great Zhao has an outstanding junior Earth Immortal like you, it really makes us Heavenly Immortals blush with shame.”


They chatted briefly as they walked to a pavilion built halfway up the mountain not far away and sat opposite each other.


Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing flicked his finger, and two cups of tea appeared on the stone table in the pavilion. This method of making something out of nothing allowed Shen Ping to see the abilities of a Heavenly Immortal.


In terms of the comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, Heavenly Immortals were only 50% of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. However, in some strange methods, Heavenly Immortals were more like masters of creation than Earth Immortals. This should be caused by the unique rules of this world.


“Senior Xue Jing, you didn’t come to my nameless mountain to rope me in, did you?”


Shen Ping went straight to the point.


Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing smiled, “If Earth Immortal Ling Zhen is unwilling to be restrained, our Tianshan will naturally not force him. I’m only here to discuss the Dao with Earth Immortal Ling Zhen.”


“Discuss the Dao?”


Shen Ping was stunned.


Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing nodded and pointed at the tea on the stone table. “Please.”


Shen Ping immediately picked up the tea and took a sip. Fragrance lingered between his lips and teeth, and his transformed five-element Dao bone felt a burst of vitality, continuously increasing the comprehension of the Dao bone. It also made his true spirit feel an unprecedented freshness, as if it had been cleansed again.


That surprised him. “And this tea is?”


Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing smiled and said, “This is an immortal tea nurtured by my Tianshan. It’s nourished by the power of the grotto-heaven all year round. The tea leaves have a unique world power.”


“Power of the world.” Shen Ping muttered.


Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing stood up and walked to the railing of the pavilion. He continued, “Compared to this vast world, the Blessed Enclave is only a corner of the world. They rely on the existence of the world and are independent of it, having their own rules.


“Therefore, the grotto-heaven is actually the embryonic form of a world. Only such an environment can create a Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit. However, when the number of lives and cultivators in the grotto-heaven increases, there will be a problem with the operation of the grotto-heaven. It can’t bear more.


“Similarly, the Great Zhao World is the same. Dao sects, demons, ghosts, devils, and countless living beings in the world absorb the vitality of the world every day. As the number of Daoists increases, the world will not be able to withstand it and problems will arise.”


Upon hearing this, Shen Ping immediately realized that this Heavenly Immortal was here to persuade him.


“Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, now do you know why Tianshan and Kunlun support reducing the number of Daoists? The imperial court is doing it for the treasury and taxes, while my Daoism is doing it for the future.” Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing said seriously.


Shen Ping did not believe that this Heavenly Immortal had such n.o.ble ideals. If something really happened to the world, there was no need for the Imperial Court to propose a national policy. The Heavenly Immortals of the Dao lineages in the world would definitely attack the Daoists first. After all, if something happened to the world, it would already endanger the survival of the Heavenly Immortals.


“Senior Xue Jing, I’m just an Earthly Immortal. I’m still far away from the matters of the grotto-heaven and even the world. And I’ve never said that I would stop the imperial court from reducing the number of Daoists. As long as it doesn’t involve my Changling lineage, I won’t ask about anything else.”


His goal in coming to this world was to comprehend as much of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as possible and then perfect the power of the top Great Dao, the Chaos Hole Great Dao. He would not be involved in the battle to reduce the Daoists.


Heavenly Immortal Xue Jing was stunned for a moment before he could not help but laugh. “You’re in this world. How can you stay out of it? If Changling was the only one to enjoy special privileges, what’s the point of reducing Daoists?


“Currently, there are very few Daoists in your Changling lineage, but that doesn’t mean there will be fewer in the future. Therefore, as long as Earth Immortal Ling Zhen is willing to carry out the inheritance according to the specified number of Daoists, our Tianshan will definitely be grateful..”
