It seems that he was thinking of his disciples, and the carefree old man suddenly sighed, "Since the corpse was resolved, I have arranged for supplies and closed off this small world for over ten thousand years."
A reminiscing expression appeared on the old man's face, "During this time, there were commissioned servants, Kunlun slaves bought, desperate demon heads, and thieving bandits... Countless people entered here, gaining nothing, buried in the soil beneath our feet."
Huangpu Xin looked down in horror.
"Do you know why I only took in nine people?" old man asked.
"Your qualifications are not enough. After all, to be a disciple of an immortal, you have to be a genius like me, right?" Huangpu Xin blabbered.
The old man once again showed a look of disdain, "Your broken body, tangled together, has no practical value, and you still call yourself a genius? I only took you as disciples because I saw the potential in time travelers."
The old man spoke frankly, surprising Huangpu Xin, who asked, "What do you mean?"
"I have conducted various investigations in the mortal world for thousands of years and found that the probability of time travelers becoming immortals is very high. And in the small world, only immortals can refine it."
Huangpu Xin Suddenly realized: "Oh, so you're taking on disciples to fend off old age?"
old man Rolled his eyes: "That's one of the reasons, but the primary reason is to face the heavenly tribulation."
"Should we face a calamity?" Huangpu Xin mused over these two words.
The old man nodded and said, "It is said that the Emperor God of the immortal realm has foreseen that the calamity of this realm is approaching. If not handled properly, all three realms will be destroyed. Therefore, the true immortals have been ordered to spread the word throughout the world, urging the establishment of a prosperous era and increasing the probability of achieving immortality."
"Can the probability of becoming an immortal be increased?" Huangpu Xin was astonished.
"Of course it can. Taking drugs can create many, but to overcome the tribulation, what is needed is not a medicine jar, but a truly invincible person who has grown up. Through research, I have found that every time traveler is a good candidate to become invincible." old man said confidently.
"Wait, so you only accept time travelers? Why do you listen to that Emperor God guy? Is he really that great? And why don't you take on disciples when you're alive?" Huangpu Xin asked in confusion.
"Smack!" A crisp slap landed on Huangpu Xin's head, giving him a taste of Zhuge Ning's treatment.
"Pay attention to your words, your master is still alive! What do you mean by 'when I was still alive'? And I haven't even had the chance to recruit qualified time travelers, so I've been avoiding the world!" The old man fumed, "Emperor God? Just seeking fame and reputation! Even after I became a scattered immortal, I couldn't escape the heavenly tribulation. Am I supposed to fear a true immortal from the immortal realm?!"
As he spoke, he revealed a solemn expression, "It's not that we all listen to that so-called Emperor God, but us old folks have worked together to deduce that there really is an impending calamity..."
After a moment of silence, the old man seemed to have finally remembered the method of practicing Huangpu Xin, and beckoned to take a closer look: "Come, let me see what method suits you."
"Hmm... I observe that your Ethereal Soul is powerful, and your spirit seems to rise and fall according to some unknown law, indicating that you have practiced some kind of spiritual cultivation technique," the old man judged, "And your body... is truly peculiar, I have never seen this kind of situation before."
Huangpu Xin's heart was lifted again. He was afraid that this old man would discover the energy inside him and use it to fill this small world.
"Don't be nervous. I promised to be your master, so I won't possess you like those demons," the old man rolled his eyes. "It's just that I really can't understand your situation. It's like two bodies merging into one, but it's also strange..."
"Master, your discerning eye is like a torch." Huangpu Xin flattered.
"Don't rush to flatter me. First, tell me about this technique of yours. Where did you get this shoddy work? It's so rough, it's like something a three-year-old child would create," the old man frowned.
Huangpu Xin was embarrassed: "This... was found by a friend at a stall for me. Because of my special physique, I used it for recovery after the fierce battle just now..."
"You fool, wasting your talent on such a thing," scolded the old man as he shook his head.
After speaking, he threw a shabby and unrecognizable thin booklet to Huangpu Xin, on which the four words "Nine Changes of Gods and Demons" could be vaguely distinguished.
Huangpu Xin hesitated and thanked him. After a quick glance, although the outside was shabby, the words inside were complete, indicating that it should be some kind of ancient book.
Huangpu Xin had just finished translating when the ancient book turned into golden light and drilled into his head.
Before he could be surprised, he heard the old man say, "I killed an unknown wandering immortal in my early years and obtained this. It's not that great, but it's perfect for cultivating a mortal's Ethereal Soul. Cultivate it well, and it will be enough for you to use until you become a wandering immortal."
"Oh, by the way, I see that your other body is quite suitable for cultivating immortality. Perfect, I have something here that can help you master it." old man opened up a space on the side, reached in and picked out an undecorated Pisces jade pendant after rummaging for a while.
old man tossed the jade pendant to Huangpu Xin: "This is the Yin-Yang Pisces pendant, it can allow you to switch bodies. Otherwise, with your current appearance, others might think that everyone under my sect is old and weak."
Huangpu Xin held the jade pendant and said, "old man, this is what my master and I obtained from the old monster Absorbing Heart. He was very difficult to deal with, as he could change his body at will. I have already modified the operating system of this thing. You just need to inject the secret energy, and you can reverse the body hidden in the shadow with the current body."
Huangpu Xin's eyes lit up and he quickly injected cosmic energies.
In an instant, accompanied by a splitting headache, Huangpu Xin suddenly transformed into a twenty-year-old young man wearing black-framed glasses.
The old man nodded as expected and said, "Hmm, as expected, it's the void spirit root. So, what does the young master want to learn?"
"Master, please don't rush. How do I change back?" Huangpu Xin stood still.
"Did you just not store the secret power in the jade pendant?" the old man asked.
Huangpu Xin Dazed: "Do you still need to save before the change?"
old man Impatiently: "Is this nonsense? You haven't cultivated your true self, how can you activate the jade pendant to switch bodies? Give it to me, I'll help you this time."
I saw the old man wave his hand, and a golden light leaped out, swirling in his palm. In Huangpu Xin's incredulous eyes, it gradually turned into cosmic energies and then entered the Pisces pendant.
Huangpu Xin was dumbfounded: "Master, you, you know my..."
"It's just a small trick. Remember, never believe that your own power is unique. That's a lesson," said the old man.
Huangpu Xin nodded in agreement, "Yes, Master."
old man nodded and said, "Going back to what I just said, what kind of grand book do you want to learn?"
Huangpu Xin asked in surprise, "What is a grand book? Isn't cultivating immortality about reaching those realms? Can you also cultivate flowers?"
"Hey!
The old man raised his hand and took out a ruler from somewhere, and gave Huangpu Xin three hits: "Are you stupid? You have no common sense. I'm asking you what you want to learn."
"Is there any righteous path? The kind that can lead to becoming a great Luo Jinxian." Huangpu Xin asked earnestly.
"Have you heard of the great Luo? Are there cultivators in your world?" old man asked, looking at him as if he were an alien.
"That's not the case... I've only heard the legend of the Great Luo in the heavens," Huangpu Xin said vaguely.
The old man sighed, "That's true, no one from above can come down now. Where would we find the real Great Luo..."
After a moment of silence, the old man continued, "In fact, there is no real correct path. The great path, the small path, the main gate, the side gate, they are all so-called 'great paths' and all can lead to the right result."
"Then..."
Huangpu Xin hadn't even spoken when the old man interrupted him: "I'm not that Bodhi Patriarch, not everything in my hands leads to immortality. Don't keep testing me."
Huangpu Xin was speechless: "I... I actually want to learn."
"?"
The old man had a look on his face as if to say, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
Huangpu Xin realized that he hadn't expressed himself clearly and hastily said, "That's not what I meant. I just... want my master to impart his knowledge to me."
"You're quite greedy. In my day, I roamed the world, creating my own techniques and acquiring countless methods. I'm afraid that if I impart all my knowledge to you, your energy might be limited, and you could fall into demonic ways and perish," the old man said.
"Um... then I want to learn the strongest, preferably a hexagonal warrior," Huangpu Xin thought and replied.
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "I have the skill of divination, which can understand the past and the future, and seek good fortune and avoid disaster. There are some numerology techniques, which involve inviting immortals to assist and asking for divination with yarrow stalks, to understand the principles of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster."
Huangpu Xin interrupted old man casting: "Master, then I want the strongest one."
"You kid, give me a reason, and I'll consider it." old man knocked Huangpu Xin on the head.
Huangpu Xin chuckled and remembered a saying from Sun Wukong: "Seeking immortality through divination is not as good as taking control of your own destiny; chanting Buddha's name and reciting scriptures is not as good as having real skills."
Having figured out Huangpu Xin's old man, he looked at him askance and said, "There's no way you came up with this kind of philosophy, kid."
Huangpu Xin just smiled foolishly, and the old man shook his head, saying, "But it's also your good fortune to meet me. I happen to have a large volume that suits you, containing everything you need." With that, the old man turned and sketched in the air.
Suddenly, a book with golden thread binding and silver thread pages appeared, revealing a thick and heavy volume.
Huangpu Xin His face showed doubt, but he said, "Master's teachings naturally fit the disciple."
old man Glaring, "Your face is just missing the words 'I don't believe it.'"
Soon after, the old man sighed and said, "This is actually a compilation and summary made by my first disciple. He told me about some of these things."
Huangpu Xin became interested and asked, "May I ask what is your name, senior brother, and where are you from?"
old man remained silent for a while, and Huangpu Xin realized that he might have asked the wrong question.
Sure enough, after a while, old man sighed, "He's already dead, so there's no need to mention his name. As for the martial arts technique, it's called 'Eight Nine Gou Gong,' supposedly named after a technique of a great master that he referenced..."
Huangpu Xin twitched at the corner of his mouth, what a weird name...
Just as the old man did not give a verdict, he instead circled around Huangpu Xin: "Wait a moment, you... haven't done anything outrageous, have you? Like seizing someone's body, or seizing someone's body and then seizing someone's body again..."
Huangpu Xin was at a loss: "Master, you're just one step away from accusing me of taking over someone else's body. I swear to the heavens that this body was not forcibly taken from another person."
"Alright... tell me in detail how it happened," old man responded cautiously.
Huangpu Xin Think about it, omit the matters of the system and the original world, and only say it's another world, roughly mentioning the affairs of the Marvel zombie universe.
old man nodded: "But it's also strange. However, that person is also innocent at heart. If it were another existence of the same level as you, someone who doesn't understand even half a bit of the method of seizing bodies like you, it would probably not end well."
Mulling it over, the old man stroked his Beard and said, "There is another method."
Another set of techniques emerged in the air, thinner than the previous "Nine Transformations of the Divine Demon," with the words "Twin-Pronged Approach" written on it.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "I created this when I was bored. I just made some changes to it, and it's perfect for you."
With that, the old man pointed, and two streams of light entered Huangpu Xin's mind, manifesting two sets of martial arts techniques within his ethereal soul.
"Thank you, Master, for imparting the teachings!" Huangpu Xin bowed.
old man waved his hand and continued, "Your twin body, hmm... not bad. Although that person had a childlike heart, it wasn't easy for them to entrust their body to you. Back in the day, I also..."
Huangpu Xin looked at the old man as he began to recount his glorious past, and it was not easy to interrupt him. So, I obediently sat down, listening to the old man brag while also recalling the techniques in my mind.
"We, as people of our generation, emphasize the word 'if.' If it is between heaven and earth, if it is between gods and demons, if it is in the mountains and fields, if it is in the bustling city..."
Huangpu Xin I read half of it, it's just a superficial person.
"This... is truly a superficial person among the superficial people, a superficial immortal..."
The remaining part, however, is mysterious and incomprehensible, leaving Huangpu Xin puzzled. Even though it's the first chapter, it's giving him a headache.
Snap!
"Oh my"
"You really know how to get things done, huh? old man I'm trying to have a serious conversation with someone, and here you are, practicing your martial arts." old man said sarcastically.
