Chapter 171: Discussion, the Secret of the Cave Heaven

Aiden, who had a general understanding of his own abilities, packed up and prepared to enjoy the next two days of his journey to the East.

The Christmas holiday lasts for a week, and Aiden can go back to attend the Hogwarts school dinner before school starts.

When I opened the door, I saw an old man in Taoist robes standing outside. Judging from the sweat on his head, it seemed that he had just finished strenuous exercise.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" the operator greeted politely.

“Hu…Hu.”

The old man took a deep breath, walked in with big strides, and sat casually on the sofa.

Aiden: “…”

A familiar smell of arrogance hit me in the face.

"I am the general manager of the relevant department and the current president of the Taoist Association. My surname is Zhang and my name is Chengrui." The old man introduced.

"Mr. Zhang, may I ask what brings you here?" Aiden asked again.

"I figured out there might be some activity in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, so I came here for a walk."

The old man picked up the hotel's kettle and got himself some hot water.

"Movement?" Aiden was a little puzzled, and felt that the painting style seemed to be becoming more mysterious.

"Yes, it was a big commotion. I could even sense it in Jiangxi."

Picking up the enamel cup and drinking some hot water, the old man put on an expression that said, "Come and ask me."

"Please explain clearly, senior." Aiden clasped his fists and bowed.

"Oh, you know a lot about our culture. As expected..."

The old man muttered something, but didn't finish.

"No need to be polite, just call me Zhang Tianshi."

Zhang Tianshi waved his hand and continued,

"You guys in the West also have that thing. I remember it was called the Slate of Silence."

Zhang Tianshi's words made Aiden understand immediately, "You too..."

"Hey, let's not talk about those unlucky things." Zhang Tianshi interrupted Aiden.

Then, Zhang Tianshi stood up and grabbed Aiden's hand, and the space around him was pulled backwards to form a passage.

At the end of the passage, there was light. Aiden looked around and found that he had been taken to a Taoist temple.

"Please sit down." Zhang Tianshi waved his hand, and the disciples next to him served tea to the two of them.

"So the Taoist priest has specially lured me into this trap. I can now be honest with you about what you want." Aiden retorted to the old man.

"Hey, kid, you have such a pretty face, but why are you saying such unpleasant things?" Zhang Tianshi shook his head and said, "Can we talk about this topic in the outside world?"

"The outside world?" Aiden keenly discovered the key point in the Taoist's words.

"Yes, this is the place where we practitioners live - the cave."

Following Master Zhang's hand, Aiden looked outside. The whole mountain was shrouded in fog.

There seem to be many magical creatures living on the mountain. Disciples in the Taoist temple practice martial arts in the woods. The integration of man and nature reaches its peak here.

“It’s incredible,” Aiden said.

“Hehe, the depth of our foundation is beyond your imagination.” The Heavenly Master seemed to be very pleased.

"What about me? Why did you bring me here?"

"I was curious about what a guy with such a huge 'mass' looks like, and after seeing you, I wanted to let you train my disciple." Zhang Tianshi gave a wicked smile.

"Uh-huh, my appearance fee is very high." Aiden raised his eyebrows.

"I can tell you the secret of the cave."

Zhang Tianshi stroked his long beard and calmly baited the dragon.

"Deal." Long took the bait.

Seeing Aiden agreed, the master immediately began to call his disciple.

"Yunyu, Shuying...where have you been, you naughty monkeys?" Zhang Tianshi's voice spread throughout the mountain.

Soon, several young men, also wearing Taoist robes, gathered in the reception room.

"Master." * 5

"Well, we have guests coming from far away, so practice with them." The Taoist priest pursed his lips and pointed at Aiden.

"Yes, Master." * 5

Although these five people were very respectful to the Heavenly Master, Aiden saw disdain in their eyes.

"Don't underestimate them, or you will suffer a great loss." The Taoist priest reminded.

Unfortunately, it was ignored by several people.

"Then let's go to the martial arts hall."

Zhang Tianshi waved his hand again, the space moved backwards, and several people came to a stage.

Master Zhang gave Aiden and the other six some time to prepare, then he winked at a middle-aged man.

Before long, the entire martial arts arena was surrounded by various groups of people.

"They have so many wizards."

Looking at the bustling crowd of little Taoist priests, Aiden unconsciously compared it with Hogwarts. Then he discovered that the number of practitioners in just one sect was almost the same as the number of an entire grade in Hogwarts.

"Yunyu, you go first." Master Zhang Tianshi ordered the oldest disciple.

"Master, let the 'youngest' Junior Brother Yan go first. We have to give the guests a chance to show off." Yun Yu said to the Taoist priest with a fist salute.

"Just go when I tell you to go. Why are you coming up with so many twisted ideas?" The Taoist priest patted Yun Yu's head.

Helpless, Yun Yu had to stand on the stage in disappointment.

The two of them were standing together, and from a distance, they looked like an adult about to hit a child.

"Since the guest has come from afar, you can make preparations in advance. If you don't know any magic, I know a little bit about martial arts." Yun Yu clasped his fists towards Aiden.

The newly promoted demigod smiled at Yun Yu.

"Then I'm coming."

Yun Yu gestured, "Come..."

Before he could finish his words, Aiden snapped his fingers and he fell to the ground.

"It is indeed too difficult for these monkeys to face a figure of my level."

Zhang Tianshi on the stage thought in his heart, but the smile on his face became more and more intense.

"Four of you, come together." Aiden didn't intend to waste time.

"No, we won't siege." The boy called Shuying stood up.

Then, several of Zhang Tianshi's disciples came one after another, and the competition ended.

"Humph, now you know what it means to be surrounded by people. You little monkeys, your eyes are almost growing on top of your heads day by day."

Aiden picked up a cup of hot tea and watched the show of the Tianshi followers.

Even though he has become a demigod, he still can't change his nature of liking to eat melons.

After teaching his disciples a lesson, the Taoist priest returned to the reception room.

"Ah, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Some of these young disciples are so naughty. They rely on their status as my disciples and become more and more arrogant day by day." Zhang Tianshi sighed.

"Master Zhang has made far-reaching plans for his disciples, which shows his love for them." Aiden complimented him.

"Alas, people like you are rarely seen in decades, just like back then..." Zhang Tianshi said something, but it seemed as if he didn't say anything.

But Aiden didn't care. He was completely focused on the secret of the cave.

"Master Zhang, can you tell me about the cave?" Aiden asked curiously.

"Dongtian? In fact, Dongtian is the remains of immortals." Zhang Tianshi lowered his voice.

"Immortal? And the remains?" Aiden was even more confused.

"Before the hazy illusion appeared, our pioneers in the East had already found a way to let the mind travel far away." Zhang Tianshi said.

"One of our saints discovered that people with magical powers can, through practice, return their bodies and souls to heaven and earth when they reach a certain level.

Sinks an area into the surface of the ocean of the mind and permanently changes the nature of magic in an area.

This artificially transformed magic power can be used by ordinary people to give birth to acquired practitioners, and this area is called a cave."

The old Taoist priest told the shocking secret in the most calm tone.

"So we are in the sea of ​​consciousness now? And you were able to create artificial wizards thousands of years ago?" Aiden raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, and do you know why I am willing to tell you this?" Master Zhang Tian showed a proud look.

"You figured out my plan."

Aiden didn't give Zhang Tianshi a chance to continue because he had already smelled the unique scent of those bastards.

"Oh, it's so boring." Zhang Tianshi sighed, and then he became serious.

"You guys are really something that people both love and hate, but maybe this is the times. No matter how the world changes, there will always be people like you who stand up against the tide."

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he stood up and bowed to Aiden, who quickly stood up to return the greeting.

“I hope you will never lose your way on the road ahead.” The old Taoist priest gave Aiden his final blessing.
