"What are your plans next?" Fang Xiu asked Zhang Heming when the ship arrived at Weigang City.
You can see flocks of seagulls flying up from the coastline, and from afar you can see the picturesque scenery of Weigang City. Autumn petals are flying above the coastal road, the sea water is clear and blue, and you can even see corals and fish swimming on the seabed.
There are several cruise ships docked at the pier. Weigang City has become a world-renowned tourist city. Although the safety factor and danger rating have increased due to the frequent occurrence of supernatural events, it still attracts mystery enthusiasts from all over the world to arrive here and explore the fantasy East in their imagination.
Even many recent novels use Weigang City as the background, and depict supernatural and extraordinary events that take place in Weigang City, such as mirror ghosts, zombies, ghouls, the advent of evil gods, etc. Many of these novels are about people who have experienced them in person, and with some beautification and love-hate stories, the stories become exceptionally popular and make people believe them to be true.
Zhang Heming took a deep breath of air. The blue sea, blue sky and beautiful scenery of Weigang City brought back deep memories. He had not seen the green of Weigang City for decades. The changes here were quite different from when he first came here.
"I plan to stay in the country and choose a place with beautiful scenery, mountains and water to practice in seclusion for a while, and leave a legacy in the world!"
“After that, I will enter the Mountain and Sea Realm and give it a try. I will break through the third level within forty years, and then strive for the fourth level. It is rumored that after breaking through the fourth level, the life span can be increased to a thousand years. By then, it can be said that I can live forever.” When Zhang Heming said this, he did not have much confidence.
"If not, I will probably have to start planning to follow the path of incense and gather the golden bodies of gods."
When the sea breeze really blew, Fang Xiu and Zhang Heming, who were standing on the bow of the boat, suddenly fell silent.
However, a week later, Fang Xiu did not wait for the news that Qingyang, Jia Yi and others had returned to the world, but instead saw Zhang Heming again.
And this time, I saw him on TV.
Fang Xiu sat on the sofa and watched the 66th succession ceremony of the head master held in Longhu Mountain on TV, which was broadcast live by the city TV station's tourism channel.
Suddenly he remembered the conversation between him and Zhang Heming when they parted. At that time, Fang Xiu really thought that this guy was going to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to leave his inheritance, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss.
He must have planned this a long time ago, and the authorities must be expecting and approving of Zhang Heming's behavior. For a powerful cultivator to leave his own Taoist heritage in the world and in the country is definitely an extremely profitable business.
At this point, the extraordinary people and cultivators are running to the mountain and sea world in groups, and no one is seen returning. People in the world are gradually understanding that for these extraordinary people, the world has no temptation at all, that world with gods and demons, ancient relics, and immortal heritage.
This is what attracts them, and this is their future. As long as they are extraordinary people with ambitions and aspirations, they will eventually break into the gate of gods and demons and stay in that world.
Especially after the deification of the earth began, even if they died, they would die in that world of gods and demons.
The world of gods and demons has become the main world of extraordinary people and monks, and the real world has become a haven for them to rest and catch their breath after fierce battles and struggles. But eventually, they will return to the world of gods and demons, and most of their lives and future depend on that world, not the real world.
Under such circumstances, the original precautions and control over the extraordinary people have decreased. They began to attract the extraordinary people to stay in the world, and even feared that they would never return. They were extremely welcome to powerful extraordinary people who could leave their heritage and Taoism in the world.
They knew that Zhang Heming would eventually rush to the Mountain and Sea Realm again, and the present world was just a short resting place in his life.
Fang Xiu turned up the volume with the remote control. On the screen, surrounded by thousands of Taoist disciples, a one-armed young Taoist priest in bright yellow robes initiated the Taoist Heavenly Master ritual at the Temple of Heaven and presided over the Taoist Zhengyi Sect's All Dharma Altar.
There is no official title of Heavenly Master now, but in the eyes of most people, Zhang Heming is equivalent to the 66th Heavenly Master.
The whole scene was so grand that you could see densely packed boats on the river, crowds of people at the foot of the mountain, and the entire dojo was bustling with people like a market. There were even many TV stations that came to interview, and there were drones taking aerial photos in the sky. The scene was shocking, and even the internet was abuzz with people curious about Zhang Heming's true identity.
In addition, because the world has been buzzing with information about supernatural beings and the world of gods and demons recently, many people believe that Zhang Heming is definitely not an ordinary person, especially his image of missing an arm and his immortal-like posture, which makes people believe that he is an enlightened master.
I don't know how many people rushed here just to join in the fun and become familiar with Zhang Heming, but Zhang Heming didn't say much throughout the whole process, nor did he show any magical skills. It looked like an ordinary Taoist water and land ceremony, lively and mysterious, but nothing surprising.
"Is this guy really related to Zhang Tianshi? Could it be that some shameless guys are making up stories?" Fang Xiu felt that in order to recognize Zhang Heming, a person who could almost be regarded as a real immortal in the world, as their headmaster and obtain Zhang Heming's inheritance, those people would definitely be able to do it with their moral integrity. They might even kneel on the ground and beg Zhang Heming to do it with joy.
It's just that Zhang Heming had never valued this empty title before, and he was even more unwilling to be the headmaster of a group of mortals. It was meaningless. If he hadn't felt that the road ahead was difficult, the road to immortality was bumpy and tortuous, and if he hadn't gone through a series of events, Zhang Heming would not have thought of leaving behind a Taoist heritage in reality.
After all, if one is really 100% sure of immortality, who would care about inheritance or not? One can live forever and freely, and establishing a sect and recruiting disciples is just for convenience.
Only when one feels the future is uncertain will one worry about the extinction of one's inheritance and want to leave a mark in this world. At that time, the inheritance and disciples are the real inheritance disciples.
But thinking about the fact that Zhang Heming gave himself the nickname "Tianshi", his surname is Zhang, and he also has a name that sounds quite immortal, I feel that Zhang Heming might actually be related.
"However, his title of Heavenly Master is now truly well-deserved!" With the presence of Zhang Heming, Longhu Mountain has become an important Taoist site in the world, inheriting Zhang Heming's Taoist skills and some magic weapons and talismans. Fang Xiu can imagine that there is another place in the world where dragons and tigers are hidden.
However, the current world still seems to be very stable. Most of the extraordinary people in the world have broken into the Gate of Gods and Demons and entered the Realm of Mountains and Seas. They are currently either in Dongzhou, Nanzhou, or practicing on the fairy island on the sea.
Those who remain in the world are just ordinary practitioners and cannot cause any trouble, so the world has been relatively calm during this period of time and nothing has happened.
Fang Xiu browsed through the forum of extraordinary people. Because there were more than 30 extraordinary people who returned with Fang Xiu, there were many more extraordinary props, elixirs, talismans, blood of inheritance and other items on the forum. Even the longevity pills made with the blood of Jiao and dragon spirit beasts, which had just appeared in Dahuan, also appeared on the market.
Eating it can extend one's life by a hundred years, but it is useless to those who practice the demon way. It is only effective for those cultivators, wizards, witch priests and ordinary people who practice the immortal way. Fang Xiu saw that the price above had soared to a sky-high price, and the more than ten people at the back were a little dazzled, but still only accepted barter.
