"These two spiritual beasts will wait outside for now." The young Taoist said.

  Ji Ning nodded, and Xiao Qing and Bai Shu also quietly waited on the side, they too understood... that the person in the Taoist temple was a well-known top-notch expert of the three realms, 'Pu Laozu', how dare they be presumptuous?

  "Go." Bai Yi Jiang Jun took Ji Ning and entered the Taoist temple.

  "Master Bai, the master wants to see Daozu now, everything is just like a dream." Xiao Qing's eyes were full of excitement.

  Bai Shuizhe nodded lightly, still in shock. The little kid who used to practice sword and archery had actually gone to pay respects to the great being 'Pu Laozu'. "The encounters of a lifetime are truly unimaginable."

  Inside the Taoist temple.

  On a vacant plot of land, there were many meditation mats. In front of the vacant land was a flight of stairs, and on top of the stairs was also a meditation mat. On this mat sat an emaciated old man with white hair and beard, wearing loose Taoist robes, sitting cross-legged, exuding an aura that made people's minds calm involuntarily.

  "Is that the Patriarch of the Void?" As soon as he saw the old man with white hair and beard, Ji Ning couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. This was truly a powerful being, one who had even killed other divine demons and Dao ancestors, and was known as the most mysterious Dao ancestor in all three realms!

  In such a situation, how could Ji Ning not be nervous?

  "Master, Ji Ning has arrived." Bai Yi Jiang Jun also showed great respect.

  "Nice to meet you, Daozu." Ji Ning also said respectfully.

  The old man opened his eyes, looked at Ji Ning, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly. He instructed Jiang Jun to "withdraw first, let Ji Ning stay."

  "Yes." The white-robed Jiang Jun retreated respectfully.

  Only Ji Ning and Old Man Pu were left around.

  "Relax, just pick a cushion and sit down."

  "Yes." Ji Ning chose a nearby cushion and sat down cross-legged.

  "The Immortal Fate Conference of the Great Summer World, I also watched it, and at that time, you, Mu Chuan, and Liu Lang were the most outstanding among them." The Old Patriarch of Buddhism commented, "In the end, Chi Ming chose Mu Chuan... which was within my expectation. Chi Ming values personality when selecting disciples, and Mu Chuan's temperament is indeed the most in line with his preferences."

  Ji Ning sighed silently.

  Shuǐ Fǔ Zhī Líng once said that Pú Lǎo Zǔ was very good at teaching disciples, and in comparison, Chì Míng Dào Zǔ and Xuán Wǔ Dà Dì's ability to teach disciples was not as good. Even Pú Lǎo Zǔ acknowledged that 'Mù Chuán' and 'Sāo Sāo' were both good, it seems they indeed have great potential.

  "But in my opinion, you have more potential than both of them." said Bodhi Patriarch.

  Ji Ning's heart was filled with joy.

  This is still the first time someone said that I have more potential than Bi Tuo and Mu Chuan, and it was said by Bodhi Patriarch.

  "The path of cultivation is bumpy and difficult, so one step at a time, steady and solid, must be taken firmly. This is correct." said the Old Ancestor, "From this point of view, Mu Chuan and Liu Yu are both very good disciples. The two of them have the most solid foundation among all the participants in the Immortal Fate Gathering, and their minds are also the calmest."

  "But...the world is divided into yin and yang." Bodhi said, "Stability and practicality are important, but sharpness is also equally important."

  "Need stability, also need sharpness."

  "Stable and calm, sharp and bright! Only when yin and yang alternate can one go further." The old ancestor of Bodhi smiled and said, "Ji Ning, your sharpness is much stronger than those two, and your foundation is also very solid. However... a disciple like you is even more difficult to teach. Disciples like Ou Zhen and Mu Chuan are easy to teach, let them practice slowly, let them make gradual progress, they will naturally rise."

  "And you, your progress will be faster than theirs, but also more perilous. Your future achievements may surpass theirs, or you might fall along the way." The Old Ancestor looked at Ji Ning, "Today I'll impart a few words to you, remember them in your heart."

  "The path of cultivation, the goal should be far-reaching, and Pangu and Nuwa should be taken as goals."

  "The path of cultivation requires humility and a focus on the present moment. Remember to establish a solid foundation, lest you become arrogant and reckless, losing everything in an instant."

  "The road to immortality requires caution, for a moment's carelessness can wreck a ship that has sailed for ten thousand years."

  "The road of cultivation is narrow and steep, with a sharp edge; only with a heart that has the momentum to pierce the sky can one go further."

  What the Patriarch of Bodhi said is simple, but it is the root of the mind of cultivating immortality.

  Those who can be summoned by Bodhi Patriarch are not inferior in talent and wisdom. At this time, what determines future achievements is more important than heart nature!

  "Ji Ning will definitely remember." Ji Ning said seriously.

  "How to have lofty goals yet not be overly ambitious, how to be cautious and prudent yet have a heart that soars to the heavens... This is something you must grasp for yourself. The harmony of heaven and earth, the balance between yin and yang, all depend on one's own mind." - Bodhi Patriarch

  Ji Ning nodded.

  The first time he saw himself, he entrusted these few sentences, and Ji Ning also understood the importance. He also understood the reason why Lao Zu said that it is easy to know but difficult to do, and one must be vigilant at all times on the path of cultivation to prevent going astray. The four pieces of advice from Lao Zu are like four whips on the path of cultivation, whipping oneself again and again.

  Buddha Tathagata said: "I observed the Immortal Gathering, you should have learned the magical power 'Plucking Star Hand'."

  "Yes." Ji Ning admitted.

  The old ancestor has already mentioned the name "Star Plucking Hand", how can it still be hidden.

  "Three Lifetimes' Dao Companion, finally has a true successor! This divine art will once again appear in the Three Realms!" The Old Patriarch of the Buddha sect sighed with emotion, "Little Bear, still not coming out."

  Wow.

  Ji Ning's side suddenly appeared a figure out of thin air, it was the Yellow Furred Great Bear.

  "Huh?" Ji Ning was surprised to find that the yellow-haired big bear beside him seemed even more real, as if it had life, unlike the 'Water Palace Spirit' which was a virtual condensation.

  "Little Bear pays respects to the Taoist Ancestor." The big yellow bear knelt down and directly kowtowed.

  "It seems that you, Ji Ning, can only learn this divine ability after entering the 'Star Plucking Mansion'." The Old Ancestor nodded.

  Ji Ning looked puzzled: "Old Ancestor, is this Xianxing Fu?"

  The yellow-haired big bear beside him said, "Xian Xing Fu is actually the true name of Shui Fu. Although this mansion was left by the master to pass on to his disciples, it was also the master's cave in those years. The master often entertained some good friends in Xian Xing Fu, and even some gods and demons came to listen to the master's teachings."

  Ji Ning suddenly remembered the large number of meditation cushions in the main hall of Shuiyue Temple, where many people had indeed listened to lectures.

  Pu Laozu said, "The Xianzhang Mansion is to the Three Lifespan as this Slanting Moon and Three Star Caves are to me. Back then, the Three Lifespan also knew that it was difficult to overcome the calamity, so they carefully prepared and added a large number of treasures to their original cave mansion, even melting down several pre-heavenly spiritual treasures to take materials, asking for help from several powerful beings, before finally creating it. After that, they abandoned it, letting this little bear find its own successor."

  "Please guide me, Master."

  The big yellow bear knocked its head heavily and even had tears in its eyes. "Tell the little bear, where is the master now? Is he alive or dead?"

  He knocked his head and made a loud noise, obviously eager and thirsty for it. He had been waiting for this day for endless years.

  "Ah."

  Buddha's expression was also complex, he first sank into thought for a moment before saying, "San Shou is my closest friend, a friend through life and death! We met in the primordial chaos and roamed together. I'm a bit more reserved, while San Shou is more sharp and revealing! I enjoy comprehending the heavens and the earth, understanding the mysteries of the Tao, without getting involved in the power struggles of the ancient world. But San Shou is warlike, extremely fond of battle, even with a large number of gods and demons following him, he conquered a vast territory in the ancient world, earning him the title 'God Master'."

  "He lost his arm at a young age and after bitter meditation and refinement, he created an earth-shattering divine technique - 'Plucking Star Hand'!"

  "Hun Dun True God is extremely skilled in battle, some of the Great Luo Dao ancestors who cultivate Qi flow do not even dare to engage in a life-and-death struggle with Hun Dun True God. However, San Shou brother has mastered this 'Star Plucking Hand' technique, especially after the sixth transformation, its power is unimaginable. In the ancient world, it was also renowned for its prestige, and the True God Dao ancestors were among the top ranks."

  His eyes were distant, and he spoke slowly, "He just didn't understand the way of heaven, so his sense of danger was relatively weak. At that time, there was a great disaster... the greatest disaster since Pangu opened up the sky and earth. He insisted on going, I tried to stop him, but he had a strong desire for battle and refused to back down. Knowing it was extremely dangerous... but his passion for battle made him decide to go. Before he left, he didn't want his 'Star Plucking Hand' to be lost, so he asked several good friends for help. On the basis of his original cave, they added many treasures and refined them, finally creating this new Star Plucking Mansion for inheritance."

  "After getting a new Zhai Xing Fu, he waited for the great calamity to arrive and then went to meet it head-on without hesitation."

  "In that battle, I retreated." The old monk's eyes were distant.

  Ji Ning's heart trembled with fear.

  Boluo Zu retreated?

  The greatest disaster since Pangu created heaven and earth?

  "That one calamity, from the beginning of time to the present, was the greatest calamity. At the start, it shattered the ancient world, countless powerful beings fell, and gods and demons died. Even existences stronger than the Three Lifetimes all perished.

  Buddha Ancestor sighed and shook his head, "Tragic, tragic indeed! The Three Lifetimes were extremely warlike, naturally they would be among them. His divine ability 'Plucking Star Hand' was indeed one of the top divine abilities, even praised by Nüwa. Under the Three Lifetimes' crazy demonic powers, several gods and demon ancestors died at his hands. I only observed from afar using 'One Dream Three Realms', without participating in the battle."

  "This divine art, born from the war intent of the Three Lifetimes Heaven, was also learned from Pangu and Nüwa. It's a great divine art that I finally comprehended. Comprehending divine arts requires innate talent. I have comprehended many more divine arts than the Three Lifetimes, but none surpass this Star Plucking Hand." The Old Ancestor looked at Ji Ning, "Now that you've inherited this divine art, you must not let it collect dust."

  Ji Ning nodded heavily.

  San Shou Dao Ren originally relied on 'Zhai Xing Shou' to kill several divine demon dao ancestors, and according to Pu Lao Zu's tone, this divine technique is apparently extremely terrifying.

  Huang Mao Da Xiong's heart trembled as he listened: "Dao Zu, my master...he..."

  Ji Ning was also looking at Bodhi Old Ancestor.

  Is San Shou Dao Ren alive or dead? I have been yearning to know this for a long time.

  "Little bear." Bodhi looked at the big yellow bear and let out a soft sigh.

  Huang Mao Da Xiong's heart skipped a beat, his face changed color, and he heavily kowtowed, the sound of which was loud and clear: "Please ask the Dao Zu to inform us whether the master is alive or dead."

  "Little bear, you actually knew it in your heart all along, why ask again?" Bodhi Patriarch shook his head.
