"Three great child avatars in Tongwen Hall, even Uncle Qiu from Daoist Star-Gazing Tower, is... so pure and virtuous.

Is it true that in order to succeed in martial arts and Daoist arts cultivation, one must practice celibacy?"

Bai Qi glanced at Ninghai Zen standing with his hands behind his back, Uncle Dao radiating dazzling white light, and the exceptional Qiu Changtian, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Good, good, Lao Dao is reliable! Decades of child avatar training are indeed profound, making us willingly bow before him!"

Qiu Changtian praised loudly.

Who would have thought that the Heaven-defying Saber, once a figurehead of the Green Forest Dao of Celestial Water Prefecture, would turn out to be an ascetic in terms of women.

"Back then, focusing only on building strength with my brothers, drinking and eating meat, indeed led to delays."

Lao Dao reflected, as the leader, he was bold and straightforward, befriending widely across the seas, hardly considering marriage and children.

"Women only slow down the cultivation process, Lao Dao, keep it up, returning to the Fourth Qi Cultivation Barrier is just around the corner."

Ninghai Zen vigorously patted Lao Dao's shoulder, encouraging him.

"Turns out Uncle Dao hasn't fully regained his level after being knocked down."

Bai Qi's face showed realization, estimating that Uncle Dao wanted to use this opportunity to reinforce his foundation and advance further, achieving perfection at the Fourth Training Level.

Otherwise, with the strong physique transformed by consuming the Single-horned Viper Gallbladder, returning to Circulation of Qi should be a breeze.

"Ah Qi, while I and your Uncle Qiu are away for a while, safeguard Tongwen Hall, the Four Paths are chaotic these days, with monsters and demons everywhere. When encountering those who bully the small, note their names and quietly await my return."

Ninghai Zen rarely gave extra instructions, it was the second day of Celestial Fiend Day, with overflowing Ren Water, followed by the crumbling Wu Earth, and finally Geng Metal clash.

As the earth's anomalies became more apparent, the Turbid Tide correspondingly rose, covering the surrounding area.

Various great disasters would follow, and simultaneously Heavenly and Earthly Treasures would be washed out and revealed to the world.

Surely attracting numerous heterodox loose cultivators or rebellious demons.

Chaos abounds indeed!

Thus, Ninghai Zen asked Bai Qi to be cautious, though Lao Dao was stationed at Tongwen Hall, fearing no ordinary troublemakers, but may not prevent skilled Daoist practitioners from secretly causing harm, especially with White Sun Sect remnants' rumors rampant lately, caution was essential.

"Disciple will obey the master's teachings, acting with forethought and never recklessly!"

Bai Qi replied with hands clasped.

"Of course, as the direct disciple of Tongwen Hall, you're not required to endure overly; you can learn from the master and self-reflect three times a day."

Ninghai Zen taught with sincere guidance:

"Before acting, consider three things: whether to reduce to ashes, whether to root out completely, whether retreat is well planned.

If all three are in place, then you can send one to the afterlife."

Bai Qi immediately showed an enlightened manner in receiving instruction, greatly pleasing Ninghai Zen, while Qiu Changtian beside them clenched his teeth:

"Ninghai Zen truly hit the jackpot finding this treasure in Black River County!"

He snorted coldly and stepped onto the several-feet-high altar, performing a spell with one hand.

Outside the courtyard, a donkey nibbling on grass leaves trotted leisurely and asked quietly:

"Master, won't you miss again this time? Last time you broke into Divine Strategy Sect's Inner Scenic Land, they left an artifact with inner essence of Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Forbidden Techniques, and nearly turned us to ashes!"

Qiu Changtian, feeling itchy in his throat, coughed fiercely several times to suppress the donkey's damning words:

"Walking near the river often, how can one's shoes not get wet! Now with Lao Ning escorting, surely foolproof!"

The donkey sighed deeply, indeed when master's negligence causes trouble, it's it who suffers, always has to sprint away frantically, almost losing half its life.

"The light of the sun and moon, use nine after dawn, use six before dusk, the numbers of six and nine are heaven and earth. The aura of gold and jade ascends in spring and summer, descends in autumn and winter, ascending and descending with the timing of heaven and earth. Gold is born within jade, jade within stone, stone from earth, appear as shape and dwell below as such..."

Qiu Changtian took out a copper seal from his bosom, placed it in the center of the altar, muttering incantations.

No matter whether the divine soul emerges or the physical body enters stealth, it's easy to lose direction, like a light boat floating amidst an ocean.

Because the vast void lacks up-down-left-right, southwest-north divisions, like a swift dark river, carelessness leads to being swept away, taken to a dead-end.

Thus, anchoring position is crucial, like a lighthouse beacon, it plays a key role in leading back.

"Lao Ning, let's get this done, stop lingering, you won't miss seeing the disciple afterward."

Qiu Changtian urged impatiently, recalling the good apprentice candidate from last time, quietly reassuring himself:

"After finishing this major task, ensure to carefully search, nurture well, raise to fruition, and brag before Ninghai Zen daily!"

Watching Ninghai Zen ascending the altar, Bai Qi quickly handed over several small notes:

"Master, these are words the disciple has pondered recently, which match well with master's teachings."

Ninghai Zen's eyes flickered, swiftly skimming over the characters, nodding repeatedly:

"Ah Qi has been thoughtful. Once the master returns, I'll open the Ancestor Hall again to aid your breakthrough through the Second Bone Training Barrier."

Bai Qi pondered, indeed flattering the master before an outing results in substantial rewards.

It's unknown exactly which house is so unfortunate to have Ninghai Zen and Qiu Changtian, the twin evil stars of Yihai, both taking action.

All is ready; moments later, two men and a donkey stood on the altar, the ethereal resonance buzzed softly, their aura merged with the void.
