Chapter 947 Disciples of Tianwu Sect

"Tianwu...under the Tianwu sect?"

The "Tianwu" in the so-called "Tianwu Sect" can only refer to one person, namely the "Tianwu Immortal Lord" who is famous in the world for his body-refining skills.

The reason why mortals without spiritual roots in the Immortal Realm can still face lower cultivators with some confidence is simply because a few body-refining geniuses can push their physical strength to the Nascent Soul level solely by relying on the [Heavenly Martial Body Tempering Scripture].

It is no exaggeration to say that this immortal lord has brought blessings to all living beings.

Even if the Heavenly Martial Immortal Lord's original intention was only to test his cultivation techniques and extend his path, and he had no intention of benefiting mortals... such things are always judged by actions, not intentions, so there's not much to say.

Ming Yutai's voice trembled slightly: "Fellow Daoist, are you truly a disciple of the Tianwu Sect..."

"Absolutely genuine!" Jing Yu said calmly.

Based on logical deduction alone, Jing Yu's words are far more credible than Dan Dingzi's.

After all, there are countless cultivators in this world who are skilled in alchemy. Dan Dingzi's alchemy skills are indeed outstanding among cultivators in the Cave Heaven Realm, even surpassing some Mahayana alchemists... but that's about it.

Those who can temper their physical body to the Cave Heaven level while in the Nascent Soul stage are extremely rare!

After all, refining Qi into spirit and body into a celestial realm are not things that can be achieved simply by piling up resources. The body refining technique must be of extremely high quality, and this person's body refining talent must be among the top few in the entire immortal realm.

Such prodigies, unless deliberately concealed by a higher being, are bound to be hidden away and almost impossible to be overlooked by powerful forces.

Even if Jing Yu wasn't from the proper Heavenly Martial Hall, at the very least he was a first-level true disciple of a Golden Immortal lineage that excelled in body refinement.

If he truly comes from the Golden Immortal lineage, then it's even more impossible for him to arbitrarily claim a connection with [Heavenly Martial Immortal Lord].

If someone is merely from a Celestial Immortal or True Immortal faction, using their connections and influence to intimidate others, the important figures within the Dao Lord's Palace won't even recognize them, and no one will investigate.

How dare a true disciple of the Golden Immortal lineage act arrogantly and domineeringly in the name of the Heavenly Martial Hall? The Heavenly Martial Hall will indeed send someone to punish them!

Of course, Jing Yu was not afraid.

After all, the real [Heavenly Martial Hall] is still unknown, and few direct disciples of Dao Lords would come to such a remote and impoverished place as the Second Heaven. The probability of his lie being exposed is so small that it is almost zero.

Ming Yutai was a cultivator who practiced both physical and spiritual cultivation, so he naturally paid great attention to the path of body refinement. Now that he had seen the true Buddha, he would not let the opportunity pass him by.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanwu… It is truly an honor for me to meet such a prodigy as you in the Second Heaven. If you do not mind, may I stay at your residence for a few days?”

Jing Yu smiled slightly and said, "How dare I disobey?"

Dan Dingzi, standing to the side, twitched his lips, his face filled with disbelief. He thought to himself, "A disciple of the Tianwu Sect? Where did this plague come from, barging in like this? The plan is completely ruined..."

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Dan Dingzi, you've come along too," Ming Yutai said with a smile.

In his view, both of them had intricate connections with Daojun's forces, so neither of them could be easily let go.

After the banquet at Mingtai ended, Ming Yutai indeed led the two deep into the Ming residence, arriving at a small courtyard.

"This is where I usually meditate. There is a concealment formation in the courtyard, so it is absolutely safe and private. No one will come to disturb us. Please rest assured."

As Jing Yu traveled, he sensed several faint divine thoughts sweeping through the Ming Mansion, presumably sentries guarding the mansion. He guessed that some of them were Mahayana cultivators, indicating that the defenses were very tight.

However, generally speaking, each cultivator's cave dwelling is an absolutely private place. After all, everyone has their own opportunities and secrets, which are not to be spied on, even by their families. Therefore, there should be no hidden sentries monitoring the small courtyard of Mingyutai's cave dwelling.

Jing Yu pondered for a moment: "Could it be that Dan Dingzi really intends to harm Ming Yutai in the cave? But even if he does have the means to kill Ming Yutai in the cave, with so many defenses inside, how can he escape?"

He had preconceived notions about Dan Dingzi, imagining him as a assassin sent by an enemy force to kill Ming Yutai.

"It couldn't have been a suicide attack, could it?"

Jing Yu quickly denied this.

"Impossible... Dan Dingzi's alchemy skills are quite remarkable, not to mention his destiny [Hundred Faces, Thousand Appearances]... In a sense, he can even be considered a rarer and more extraordinary genius than Ming Yutai. Although Ming Yutai is the son of the Tianmang Sect's leader, the Tianmang Sect's leader is only a Celestial Immortal, not the true person in charge of the Tianmang Sect..."

"Besides, the Tianmang Sect has more than one heir, Ming Yutai. Is it worth wasting a comparable prodigy to assassinate him? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

Jing Yu was increasingly puzzled, unable to fathom Dan Dingzi's true intentions.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanwu? Please…” Ming Yutai’s voice pulled Jing Yu back to reality. He smiled and said, “Then I will trouble Brother Ming.”

The three entered the courtyard, which was indeed a secluded world. Ming Yutai's words were true; this place was indeed very private.

The three of them sat down on their respective prayer mats. Ming Yutai had already brought out the finest spiritual tea and poured it for the two guests. Jing Yu's attention was fixed on Dan Dingzi, and she didn't know when he would make his move.

Now that I've become a variable, perhaps Dan Dingzi won't intervene?

While keeping an eye on the elixir cauldron, he chatted idly with Ming Yutai:

"It's rare to see Brother Ming so eager to seek the Dao. During my travels, I've seen many direct descendants of true immortals, most of whom are spoiled and arrogant because of their good backgrounds. None of them are as studious and hardworking as Brother Ming."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yutai smiled wryly: "I am of dull talent and cannot compare to a peerless genius like Brother Xuanwu. Naturally, I can only try my best as a slow bird and hope to go further on the path of cultivation."

"It seems Brother Ming has grand ambitions..." Jing Yu mused.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Brother Xuanwu, but I... aspire to become a Golden Immortal." Ming Yutai took a deep breath and sighed.

"Unfortunately... the clan doesn't actually have high expectations for me. They want me to... well... let's not talk about that."

Upon hearing this, Dan Dingzi's eyes flashed, and he interjected at the opportune moment: "The ambition of a Golden Immortal? Brother Ming, you have quite the ambition... You should know that even among the direct disciples of the Dao Lord's forces, there are very few who can condense the Immortal Golden Nature and attain immortality."

“I am aware of this, which is why I held this annual Mingtai Banquet, hoping to gather wisdom from all sides and find a path to explore longevity and cultivate the essence of metal,” Ming Yutai said sincerely.

Dan Dingzi laughed and said, "After cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage, the importance of spiritual root aptitude is greatly reduced, while comprehension becomes much more important. Comprehending the laws and designing the path of cultivation ultimately depends on comprehension... I happen to have a kind of pill here that can temporarily awaken spiritual intelligence and enhance comprehension. I wonder if Brother Ming would like to try its effects?"
