Chapter 128 Cao Bao is not a fool
Ever since the heavenly calamity occurred, many cultivators in the prehistoric world have been suffering terribly. No matter they were disciples of major sects or independent cultivators with no background, they all died like rain.
The Five Decays of Heaven and Earth in the Golden Immortal Realm are not so bad. If you can't overcome them, the most you will suffer is a fall into the realm of calamity. It is not as serious as the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations in the True Immortal Realm, which can easily take a person's life.
but……
No matter whether they were True Immortals, Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, or Daluo Golden Immortals, they all cursed Master Tongtian in their hearts.
The tribulations faced by True Immortals and Golden Immortals are more targeted at the physical body, the soul, and the heart of the Tao. Once ordinary practitioners develop a sense of awe for the tribulations, it will be difficult for them to survive.
As for those cultivators who can cultivate to become Taiyi Golden Immortal and Daluo Golden Immortal, no matter how bad their physical body, soul, and heart of Tao are, they are not that bad. Therefore, many of the disasters targeting them are aimed at the cultivators' foundation and understanding of the Tao, as well as the cause and effect karma that they have been contaminated with.
Mortals fear the consequences, while gods fear the causes. From the day the heavenly calamity is established, it will no longer be an empty talk.
Cao Bao wandered around the fairy mountains and blessed places in the prehistoric world, calling his friends and claiming that he had a way to break the calamity. Soon he gathered a large number of independent cultivators.
"Do you, fellow Taoist, really mean what you say?"
Some independent cultivators, seeing that Cao Bao was only at the level of a celestial being, were unwilling to believe what he said.
However, after Cao Bao described some of the characteristics of the Yin Fire Tribulation and the Bi Feng Tribulation, those wandering cultivators were able to prove that what he said was true with a simple deduction.
Seeing this, Cao Bao said proudly: "How is it? I didn't lie, did I? This method of breaking the calamity is not something that a small immortal cultivator like me can deduce! However, I have a good friend named Xiao Sheng, who, by chance, met a person with great supernatural powers!"
"This method of breaking the catastrophe was deduced by that great master and passed on to my good friend!"
“And that great master is also a kind-hearted person. He did not keep his possessions to himself and allowed my good friend to pass on the method of overcoming the tribulation to… a casual cultivator like me who has no background!”
"If we didn't have a deep friendship, how could I possibly tell you that Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng would be teaching that senior the method of breaking the calamity in Mount Wuyi?"
"In the end, fellow Taoist didn't believe it!"
Seeing Cao Bao's distressed look, the casual cultivators took out gifts and gave him gifts. They pulled him aside and said, "We misunderstood you, fellow Taoist!"
Every cause has its effect. Knowing the answer, it will be much easier to deduce. When Cao Bao talked about some characteristics of the Yin Fire Tribulation and the Bi Feng Tribulation, the mystery became much clearer. Some casual cultivators who have a little knowledge of the art of deduction can easily judge the truth or falsity of his words with just a little deduction.
In order to obtain more information and get the opportunity to participate in the discussion at Wuyi Mountain, they generously took out their treasured spiritual objects.
Taoist Cao Bao, after pretending to refuse, accepted it without any hesitation!
Han Yi, of course, knew this very well!
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Xiao Sheng is worthy of being the future Nazhen Tianzun, the right-hand man of the God of Wealth! He has a set of skills to make money!"
With some understanding of the heavenly tribulation, Cao Bao gained a lot of benefits in a short period of time, and became famous in the circle of independent cultivators.
However, it also attracted the attention of some people.
such as……
The immortal from West Kunlun... Master Du'e!
This True Man Du'e is a Daluo Golden Immortal with a decent cultivation base. His temples are the Nine-peaked Tiecha Mountain and the Eight-Treasure Yunguang Cave. He once went to Shouyang Mountain to listen to Taiqing Laozi's preaching. He calls himself an outer disciple of the Human Sect and has the innate spiritual treasure Dingfengzhu by his side, but in fact he is just an immortal with good opportunities!
His identity as an outer disciple is just a self-flattering move!
Since the heavenly calamity was established, he has been spying on the secrets of heaven and finally deduced some of the secrets of the Bifeng calamity. However, he did not expect to hear that there was already a way to break the calamity in the prehistoric world. This made him feel disappointed, but at the same time, he could not help but feel curious.
"Who is it?"
After a slight change of mind, Master Du'e decided to take a trip to Wuyi Mountain.
He had in his hand the innate spiritual treasure, the Wind-Fixing Bead, which could restrain most of the divine winds in the prehistoric world, and naturally could also restrain the Bifeng disaster among the three disasters and nine calamities.
Therefore, he originally wanted to use the Wind-Fixing Pearl to help others overcome tribulations and gain some benefits, or to condense the energy of blessings and virtues like Yun Zhongzi.
But don't want to...
There are already people with great supernatural powers who have done this first!
Those ordinary independent cultivators simply thought that there were people with great supernatural powers who were kind-hearted and willing to help them overcome the tribulation.
But Master Du'e, after all, was a cultivator at the Golden Immortal realm, and had even heard the sages preach, so he saw through the plan of that powerful man at a glance.
While I was extremely curious, I also wanted to make friends.
……
Wuyi Mountain.
Taoist Cao Bao came to Han Yi with a smile on his face and said, "Daoyou Xiao Sheng, I have spread the news that you are going to teach you the method of breaking the catastrophe! I believe... soon, a large number of independent cultivators will gather in Wuyi Mountain! Daoyou's reputation is now at its peak!"
"Really?" Han Yi chuckled and said, "I heard that Daoist Fellow Cao Bao also seemed to have gained a lot of benefits from those independent cultivators!"
Cao Bao was embarrassed when he heard this. He took out a bunch of spiritual objects and said awkwardly, "It's because they are too enthusiastic! It's not easy for me to practice as a casual cultivator. I couldn't help but accepted them! The things are all here. I didn't dare to touch them at all! I was really afraid of being poor before!"
Seeing this, Han Yi glanced at the pile of spiritual objects and said with a smile: "These ordinary spiritual objects are of little use to me, so just take them yourself, fellow Taoist!"
"but……"
"Since you have received so many benefits, you should do your job well!"
"Otherwise, that senior might get angry!"
After all, he is not the real "Taoist Xiao Sheng". There are many flaws in his words and deeds. Judging from Taoist Cao Bao's attitude towards him, he has probably been exposed!
It’s just... Taoist Cao Bao was greedy for the method to break the calamity, as well as the benefits he got from those independent cultivators, and he tacitly understood and treated him as the real "Xiao Sheng"!
"You are right, fellow Daoist!"
When Taoist Cao Bao heard this, he suddenly became very nervous and nodded quickly.
He was also a small figure who rose from obscurity. When the talisman given to him by the previous "Taoist Xiao Sheng" lost its effect and a "Taoist Xiao Sheng" popped up before him, he knew that this "Xiao Sheng" was not that "Xiao Sheng", and the real Xiao Sheng had probably fallen long ago!
Furthermore, he and Xiao Sheng were only acquaintances, otherwise, he would not have thought of coming to Wuyi Mountain to inherit his good friend's inheritance.
He knew that his strength was comparable to that of Taoist Xiao Sheng. Since the other party had the ability to kill Xiao Sheng and seize the blessed land of Wuyi Mountain, then... dealing with him would be a piece of cake!
Therefore, he pretended to be ignorant, used the heavenly tribulation as a breakthrough, and talked to "Xiao Sheng", hoping that he would not see the flaw and give him a way out.
but……
The "method to break the catastrophe" mentioned by the fake Xiao Sheng later attracted his attention so deeply that he couldn't help himself and came up with the idea of making a profit from it.
But judging from the current situation, the other party has obviously discovered his abnormality.
It's just a tacit understanding!
Cao Bao was once teased as a "fool" because of his name, but since he was able to achieve the status of a celestial being, how could he really be a "fool"?
He knew that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that might allow him to get a chance to be promoted to a Golden Immortal, or even to a higher realm.
and so……
That's why he would be so enthusiastic and run around in the prehistoric world for the "fake Xiao Sheng".
"Don't worry!" Han Yi immediately gave Cao Bao a big promise: "As long as this matter is handled well, there will definitely be benefits that you can't imagine!"
After saying that, he patted Cao Bao's shoulder heavily.
"I understand!"
Cao Bao quickly expressed his attitude.
In just one month, all the cultivators from all over the world gathered in Mount Wuyi, ready to listen to "Xiao Sheng" explain the method of breaking the calamity.
Han Yi took a rough look and found that there were nearly a thousand independent cultivators who had arrived here through word of mouth. This was a considerable force in the prehistoric world!
"Brother, can we start?" Taoist Cao Bao came over with a smile on his face and asked, "Several fellow Taoists have been cultivating for nearly a thousand years. It is estimated that in ten days or so, they will face the Yin Fire Tribulation! If you don't teach them how to break the tribulation, they may not live to see that time!"
"That's fine!"
Upon hearing this, Han Yi immediately smiled and said, "It seems that no other independent cultivators will come for a while! Go and inform all the fellow Taoists that at noon tomorrow, I will teach that senior the method of breaking the calamity!"
"Okay!" Cao Bao nodded eagerly and said, "I'll go and inform all the fellow Taoists right away!"
Many of these people were invited by him. Since "Master Xiao Sheng" had not made any move for a long time, it was impossible to say that he was not anxious.
after all……
He mentioned a lot of benefits!
The next day, Han Yi set up a high platform in Wuyi Mountain and said to many casual cultivators: "My fellow Taoists, this method of breaking the calamity was taught by me on behalf of a senior named 'Han Yi'. I hope that all of you Taoists can successfully overcome the calamity and reach a higher level on the road of cultivation!"
After that, he began to preach.
First, the characteristics of the heavenly thunder tribulation, the yin fire tribulation, the bi wind tribulation, and the nine difficulties were explained one by one, and then various methods of dealing with the tribulations were discussed.
After saying this, Han Yi began to teach the Houtian Bagua, and taught these casual practitioners to use the Houtu Bagua to deduce the timing of the arrival of the nine tribulations, so that they could be prepared in advance to prevent the disasters that might come at any time.
Master Du'e was also among them.
only……
He did not reveal his Golden Immortal cultivation in front of everyone.
"Who exactly is this 'Han Yi'? Why have I never heard of a great master with this name in the prehistoric world before?"
"Moreover, judging from what Taoist Xiao Sheng said, the cultivation level of Taoist Han Yi is probably far better than mine!"
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to deduce so much information about the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations in such a short time, and research a method to break through the calamities!"
"Other than that, this Wuyi Mountain may seem ordinary, but the ground veins are flowing and the spiritual energy is dense, as if there is a top-notch paradise hidden here!"
"That 'Han Yi Taoist' must be someone important. Who knows, he might be someone's pseudonym!"
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to meet him!"
While Master Du'e was hiding among many casual cultivators and listening to Han Yi's talk about the method of breaking the calamity, he was also studying the direction of the earth veins in Wuyi Mountain.
Han Yi, on the other hand, had not yet noticed that there was a Daluo Jinxian hidden among this group of casual cultivators.
He was looking at the many independent cultivators and said, "I have already passed on all the methods for dealing with the three disasters and nine tribulations to you! You can discuss it on your own. Three years later, I will be here again to explain the methods for dealing with the 'Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man' on behalf of that senior. If you are interested, you can come and listen!"
Han Yi's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, shocking many casual cultivators.
They didn't expect that the senior not only deduced the solution to the three disasters and nine difficulties, but also worked out a countermeasure for the five declines of heaven and man.
And Master Du'e was becoming more and more surprised, with ripples in his heart.
