Arriving in front of Daozu Xuanyuan, Ye Zan was impatient and asked without the burden of being a powerful person: "Master, is there anything I need my disciple to do for me?"
Xuanyuan Daozu did not immediately answer Ye Zan's question. Instead, he raised his hand to pull the surrounding silver mist and asked, "How long will it take you to do these things?"
Collecting an entire world's resources, even if a special method is used, cannot be completed in a short time.
Apart from anything else, no matter how fast you collect, just running from one side of the world to the other will take a lot of time.
"Well, if you are in a hurry, you can stop at any time." Ye Zan replied without much hesitation.
Although he mainly prepared things for the Lin family siblings before, Ye Zan himself didn't have any inventory here.
However, Daozu Xuanyuan waved his hand and said unhurriedly: "There is nothing in a hurry."
"Oh! If we don't rush, it will take ten or eight years to recover almost everything in this world." Ye Zan thought about it and gave another answer.
Ten or eight years is really nothing to a cultivator.
Only Ye Zan can collect all the world's resources and recycle them into his own pocket in such a short time.
Daozu Xuanyuan nodded, gently twirled his beard with one hand, and said: "Well, that's just right. I will use this time to fulfill my responsibilities as a master and test your abilities now."
Speaking of which, as a master, Daozu Xuanyuan is quite irresponsible.
After returning from the world of technology, a remnant soul hid in the Tongtian Peak formation. After sending Ye Zan out, he hardly saw Ye Zan.
It was thanks to Mo Rushi's guidance that Ye Zan finally stepped into the door of monasticism.
Of course, something went wrong with the foundation building later, and Ye Zan went to Xuanyuan Daozu. Xuanyuan Daozu had fulfilled his responsibilities as a master.
Later, when Ye Zan retrieved the drop of essence and blood, Daozu Xuanyuan reshaped his body and restored his cultivation, but soon ran away to the outer world.
Although the master and apprentice often communicate thousands of miles away, they can also conduct distance teaching like online classes.
However, cultivating the Tao is not knowledge that can be completely put on paper. Some things must be taught by words and deeds.
This problem is actually the same as that of the Lin family siblings.
From Ye Zan's point of view, despite relying on special means, he has even become "on par" with the Earthly Immortal-level Shura.
It seems that Ye Zan can already be regarded as a person standing at the pinnacle of the "mortal world".
As for Master Xuanyuan Daozu, although his cultivation has been fully restored, he is still in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
"Oh, that's great. Don't you finally feel guilty?" Ye Zan said jokingly with a hint of resentment.
"Being a teacher is called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. If you were really asked to practice strictly according to the rules, how could you be as good as you are now?" Daozu Xuanyuan made excuses for himself seriously, and rushed to say again without waiting for Ye Zan to speak again. : "Okay, no more unnecessary nonsense, let me show you what you are capable of!"
Of course, Daozu Xuanyuan's instructions did not mean that he would compete with his disciples.
Fighting and sparring is to test the fighting ability, at most it is the use of strength.
However, if this "cultivation" is just to obtain strong combat ability, it will undoubtedly lead to a narrow path.
As a master, Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor teaches the "Tao", rather than training and cultivating some fighting machine.
Then, I saw Xuanyuan Daozu sitting cross-legged, pointing to the position in front of him, and motioning for Ye Zan to sit there.
Ye Zan didn't say much. He quickly came to where the master pointed and sat cross-legged obediently.
Then, Taoist Xuanyuan said nothing more. In the space around the two masters and disciples, traces of Taoist charm gradually filled the air.
If you look at it from a mortal's perspective, it will be full of flowers and fairy spirit. In short, the whole space will become like a fairyland.
In fact, it was Xuanyuan Daozu who was interpreting the avenue and telling Ye Zan what the avenue should be like.
It's like a teacher explaining example questions, how to set up unknowns, how to apply formulas and theorems, what traps to avoid, etc.
However, other people's class lasts forty minutes, and the so-called big class only lasts two hours, but they ascetics teach in terms of "years".
While the master and apprentice were teaching each other, Ye Zan's distracted incarnation controlled the war fortress and "chased" the "fog" that spread into the distance.
I have to concentrate on class, so naturally I can only let the distracted avatar do the garbage collection.
The clouds formed by the nanobugs continue to spread and disappear at the end of the line of sight, leaving behind a pure void without any matter.
The War Fortress was running around in all directions, and eventually even had to use space warping technology.
After all, this is a world. Although the space cannot reach the point of "infinite", it is not as simple as a continent or a planet.
Several years flew by.
The broken world has completely turned into a void, except for the "continent" where Xuanyuan Daozu and Ye Zan are located.
However, with the end of this mission, and with the surrounding Taoist charm gradually fading away, this last continent will not escape the end of being eaten up.
Daozu Xuanyuan and Ye Zan have moved to the war fortress.
In the past few years, Ye Zan felt that he had gained a lot. Many questions that he knew before, as well as questions that he was not aware of, were answered by Daozu Xuanyuan.
Although, in terms of so-called "combat effectiveness", Ye Zan may not have made a significant leap.
However, in terms of "cultivation", the road ahead of Ye Zan has undoubtedly been cut away from many thorns and filled with many ravines.
On the war fortress, Xuanyuan Daozu stood in front of the flower bed, looking at the little fairies flying around in the flowers, and said to Ye Zan beside him: "I have almost taught you everything I should teach you, and now it's time to get down to business."
"What else is there?" Ye Zan asked curiously.
Xuanyuan Taoist twirled his beard and asked enigmatically: "Do you know the Holy Ruins?"
Ye Zan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied jokingly: "... Master, although I know you definitely don't mean that, but I still want to say... If you have kidney deficiency, just eat more leeks."
Xuanyuan Daozu didn't care about Ye Zan's joke, but explained very seriously: "The holy ruins refer to the former residence of the saint."
In this world of monasticism, the ultimate goal of people's monasticism is the so-called "jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements."
But in fact, the only ones who can truly "jump out of the Three Realms and not be in the Five Elements" are the so-called "sages" in ancient legends.
Even the high-ranking immortals who live in the immortal court and "execute the law on behalf of heaven" are still subject to various rules and regulations, and they still have to talk about the way of heaven and earth.
Facing the invasion of evil spirits from outside, the most essential reason why the immortals did not hesitate to fight to the death was not only the so-called "feelings for family and country", but also the fear of losing their roots.
Only the legendary "saints" can truly transcend all worldly laws, which is like "super dimension" in the words of the technological world.
They are no longer in the "dimension" of your world, and naturally they are no longer restricted by the world of this dimension.
To put it bluntly, even if the monastic world is destroyed or swallowed up by the world of evil spirits, it will not have any impact on those "saints".
Perhaps, for the "saints", protecting their "hometown" is truly out of "feelings".
It is also possible that all of this is just a game of chess for a being like a saint.
"The former residence of the saint? So, it is possible that those legendary saints really existed?" Ye Zan asked in surprise.
After all, the history of the monastic world is not as "short" as tens of thousands of years.
Thinking about the world of science and technology, what happened in just a few thousand years has left countless "historical mysteries".
In this monastic world, after hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of erosion, it is no longer easy for many things to become "legends".
In particular, the world of monasticism also experienced the rupture of heaven and earth. The whole world collapsed into various realms, and the Immortal Court lost "news" after that.
This resulted in many things in the inheritance becoming more difficult to verify later.
At least, in the so-called "mortal world", many legends are difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Just like this legend of a saint.
Even the monks feel that the legends of the saints in the prehistoric period were probably made up by the elders as "fables" to educate the younger generations.
Of course, it now seems that Immortal Court still has inheritance, so Xuanyuan Daozu also knows something.
"Then what kind of place is this saint's former residence? Is it in one of those forbidden areas?" Ye Zan then asked in confusion.
In the world of monasticism, there are many so-called restricted areas. Basically, it is difficult to get out alive if you enter them.
Although, in terms of exploration, with the means of the technological world, there are few things that can't stop Ye Zan.
However, Ye Zan did not explore all the restricted areas.
Not to mention the entire world of monasticism, just in the Shenhua Realm, Ye Zan only explored a few restricted areas.
The main reason is not that there is no ability, but that there is not much need.
There is an old saying that goes, "If you do everything too much, your fate will inevitably end early." It probably means don't do things too much.
It is precisely because of this that even if he has enough means, Ye Zan has no intention of clearing out all restricted areas.
Until now, Taoist Xuanyuan talks about the "Holy Ruins".
Ye Zan may have a little regret in his heart, wondering if he missed something
However, as soon as the regret in Ye Zan's heart arose, he was put to death by Daozu Xuanyuan's subsequent reply.
"Forbidden Jedi?" Daozu Xuanyuan shook his head, with admiration and yearning in his tone, and said: "Saints are the existences that truly transcend the three realms. The holy ruins naturally cannot be in this realm, unless they are the so-called saints. Some remnants of the past.”
A saint is not born a saint. Even if he finally reaches a height that most people cannot reach, the process in the middle is still indispensable.
In this process, saints will always leave some traces in the world.
Maybe, there are some ordinary things that will be obliterated by long time.
However, there will also be some things that can resist the passage of time and survive until tens or even millions of years later.
However, even if it survives, it is just a "former residence of celebrities", and its commemorative significance is greater than its actual significance.
Therefore, what Xuanyuan Daozu said can truly be called a holy ruin should be the place where the saint was when he became a saint.
After understanding this, Ye Zan seemed a little hard to understand and asked curiously: "Since this is not in this world, what does it have to do with us?"
This "this world" is not just the "mortal world", but also includes the Immortal Court.
Now Ye Zan, including Taoist Xuanyuan who has recovered his cultivation, are strictly speaking mere mortals, and they can only move in this "mortal world".
Not to mention the holy ruins that are not in this world, even the fairy courts that are still in this world are not accessible to mortals like Ye Zan.
It's like climbing stairs. If you can't even climb the first floor, how can you expect to climb to the ninety-ninth floor
Xuanyuan Daozu understood Ye Zan's doubts, so he shook his head with a smile and said: "The Holy Ruins are not in this world, but it does not mean that we have no chance to enter. I am not afraid of your jokes. I was in Tongtian when I was a teacher. Fighting the devil on the peak, do you really want to go to your world? "
"You mean, you originally wanted to go to the Holy Ruins? That is to say, can you enter the Holy Ruins like that? But you didn't go there either! Moreover, didn't you say that you planned that thing with the Immortal Court? ?" Ye Zan asked in confusion.
"Haha, people are always a little selfish!" Daozu Xuanyuan said confidently.
This is understandable. After all, opportunities are rare. As long as it does not affect Xianting's plan, Daozu Xuanyuan will go wherever he goes!
Don't think that because of the clever calculations of Xianting, they specially asked Xuanyuan Daozu to go to the world of science and technology and bring Ye Zan as a "savior".
In fact, it was ultimately a coincidence that Ye Zan came to the world of cultivation.
Even if Ye Zan doesn't come, according to Xianting's plan, the world will develop into what it is now.
However, Ye Zan brought some means from the technological world, which may have accelerated this matter to a certain extent.
Just like preaching in the outer world, with Ye Zan's participation, the preaching in the Dawn World and the Savage World seems to be more efficient.
However, aren't some other worlds going smoothly now without Ye Zan's participation
Immortal Court's plan, in the final analysis, has one purpose, which is to let Tianyu Daozu open the passage to the outer world.
If the Immortal Court had the "coordinates" of the outer world, there would be no need for these so-called plans, just open a passage and rush over.
Xuanyuan Daozu, as well as other members of the Yuqing Sect, and even the good and evil spirits in the Shenhua Realm were all victims to achieve this goal.
