Chapter 129: So She Is Master
After the matter of the Sheng Yuan Dynasty was over, Huang Junru planned to go back first. Yue Wu Xia was prepared to stay here and observe the movements of the beast tide.
And Mingyan’s and Huang Feiyan’s movements were a bit subtle. Huang Feiyan naturally wanted to take Mingyan back to the Huang family and then continue to be intimate. But it was also good to continue to be with Mingyan outside. And Mingyan knew that his master probably wanted to go to the beast tide to investigate the situation. He wanted to go with his master. In that case, it would be inconvenient to take Huang Feiyan with him.
So Mingyan persuaded Huang Feiyan to return to the Huang family, while he stayed here with Yue Wu Xia.
After Huang Feiyan reluctantly followed Huang Junru back to the Huang family, Mingyan also left the Sheng Yuan Dynasty. Outside the city, Mingyan finally saw his master.
“Do you really want to enter the beast tide with me?” Yue Wu Xia knew Mingyan’s thoughts. Her cold and beautiful face had a slight frown.
“Does Master agree?” Mingyan actually just wanted to see his master. It would be great if he could hug his master like before. But now his master probably wouldn’t let him…
“It’s too dangerous,” Yue Wu Xia shook her head. “I don’t suggest you follow me.”
Since his master had refused, Mingyan had to give up. He asked, “You’ve left the Sacred Land. Is everything alright inside?”
“You’ve seen the Supreme Elder,” Yue Wu Xia said. “When I’m not here, she will take charge of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow in my place.”
Mingyan asked tentatively, “Is the Supreme Elder… at the Human Gateway Realm?”
Yue Wu Xia looked at Mingyan calmly, neither admitting nor denying. Seeing this, Mingyan also understood his master’s meaning. It seemed the Supreme Elder was indeed at the Human Gateway Realm…
The actual strength of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow was much more terrifying than it appeared. Did he join the world’s number one Sacred Land?
“I still want to go and see the beast tide with you, Master. If you feel it’s really dangerous, it won’t be too late for me to leave,” Mingyan hesitated for a moment but still wanted to fight for it.
Yue Wu Xia frowned. “Why do you have to follow me?”
“Because I want to spend more time with you, Master,” Mingyan said seriously.
These words made Yue Wu Xia can’t help but glance at Mingyan. Then she closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long while, Yue Wu Xia sighed. “You are not allowed to be too far from me. You must be by my side at all times. Do not act on your own.”
If they got close to the central abyss, then even if Yue Wu Xia was a Saint, she would not be able to use her Dao techniques. If Mingyan suddenly acted rashly, she might not be able to stop him.
“Please rest assured, Master. After receiving your teachings, I have been reflecting. I will definitely not act impulsively now,” Mingyan moved closer to his master without showing any emotion, his tone sincere.
Yue Wu Xia naturally felt Mingyan approaching, but she didn’t mind. Hearing Mingyan’s sincere reflection, Yue Wu Xia was somewhat gratified. Yue Wu Xia was worried that Mingyan wouldn’t listen to her. Now, she could persuade Mingyan. In the future, when Mingyan’s strength surpassed hers, who else could persuade Mingyan? Wang Qingchu?
Although Yue Wu Xia had only seen Wang Qingchu once, she had a deep memory of the doting love in her tone for Mingyan. That half-step Great Dao female hero couldn’t help but show her doting love in front of her. If it was just Wang Qingchu and Mingyan, Yue Wu Xia couldn’t even imagine how much Wang Qingchu would dote on Mingyan.
If this continued, even if Mingyan’s foundation was good, he would be led astray.
Also, if Wang Qingchu doted on Mingyan too much, and Yue Wu Xia was very strict with him, over time, Mingyan might treat her words as a passing wind. If that was the case, then this disciple of hers, she would not be able to control him at all.
Yue Wu Xia knew what she should do. When she was disciplining Mingyan, she also needed to let Mingyan feel that she was not so strict, so as not to arouse his rebellious psychology.
Yue Wu Xia released her flying carpet and sat on it. Seeing this, Mingyan also sat down and then casually wrapped his arm around Yue Wu Xia’s slender waist.
Even through the Daoist robe Yue Wu Xia wore, he could already feel that smoothness.
Yue Wu Xia did not react to Mingyan’s actions. She controlled the flying carpet to rise into the air and fly towards the central abyss.
Two days later, Mingyan finally had a concept of the “beast tide.” He sat on Yue Wu Xia’s flying carpet, looking at the ferocious beasts and spirit beasts that almost covered the entire land visible to the naked eye. For a moment, his scalp was a little numb. There were too many. They were still on the periphery and had not yet entered the influence range of the central abyss.
For these two days, Yue Wu Xia had also been observing the situation of the beast tide. Her brow was deeply furrowed. As a Saint, she could naturally feel more things that Mingyan couldn’t.
“The beast tide is very irritable. Let’s stay on the periphery for a while. After the beast herd calms down, we’ll go in and see the situation,” Yue Wu Xia said.
“Hmm,” Mingyan nodded and tightened his arms around his master’s slender waist.
Yue Wu Xia brought Mingyan down to the ground, looked at the moving beast tide on the horizon, frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook her head again, saying softly, “How long are you planning to hug me?”
Mingyan coughed lightly twice, then let go of his arms around his master’s slender waist and awkwardly changed the subject. “Master, do you know what kind of opportunity is needed for life to be born?”
Yue Wu Xia looked at Mingyan, a faint doubt in her cold eyes. “Why do you ask?”
Mingyan told Yue Wu Xia about the problem he had encountered in breaking through to the Divine Gate Realm with his Human King Physique and what methods he had roughly tried.
Yue Wu Xia thought for a while and said, “There are no records of the origin of the human and demon races in the ancient books. And, since it is the birth of life, what you are looking for is not the origin of the human and demon races. The human and demon races are relatively complete races among life. Before them, there must have been other races. So, what you should be pursuing is not the origin of the human and demon races, but the origin of this world, or the origin of the universe. Have you ever heard of ‘the Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things’?”
Mingyan was stunned. He had originally just asked casually but had not expected his master to really have her own answer. The origin of the world… the origin of the universe… Mingyan’s intuition told him that his master’s words might be extremely helpful to him.
“This is the content of the Tao Te Ching. It is said to have been left by a strong person from another planet who came to this world. But there is only a remnant scripture. It is in the Sacred Land. If you are interested, you can go and learn about it,” seeing Mingyan stunned, Yue Wu Xia continued, “If you think from this, start from this, perhaps you will have some gains.”
“…” Mingyan nodded. He suddenly understood why in this era where the suppression of the Great Dao was so severe, his master could still become a Saint… a casual word from her had made Mingyan suddenly enlightened…
So a master was a master.
