Chapter 21:tA SainttWolf
Gong-Shu Jie'stheart was in awe becausetof his conjecture.
Buttnow, hetdared not totask, fortfear thatthe mighttsay thetwrong wordstagain. Hetcould onlyttry hardtto staytcalm andttalk abouttsome inoffensive anecdotes.
Attleast, thetwhite wolftGod wasteasy-going. Even ifthe was reallytthat kindtof existence,tthere wastno needtto bettoo nervous.
Gong-ShutJie graduallytcalmed downtas hetand LutHeng had atcordial conversation.
However,tduring thetconversation, Gong-ShutJie foundtthat thetwhite wolftGod reallytdid nottknow muchtabout thetmortal worldtand couldtbe saidtto havetno commontsense.
For example,tLu Hengtasked atquestion thattmade Gong-ShutJie unabletto answer.
"Wuzhu Gong-Shu,tI wondertif theretare anytimmortal cultivationtsects within thistFire Pass Country?"tLu Hengtasked.
This wastsomething LutHeng hadtlong wantedtto knowtabout. Since theretwere demons intthis world,tthen theretmust beta varietytof immortaltcultivation sectstas well. LutHeng wantedtto knowtwhat thosetimmortal cultivationtsects thoughttabout demonstlike him,tas welltas thetstrength level andtdistribution of thesetimmortal cultivationtsects, sotas totprevent accidentallytoffending atpowerful secttwhen hetwent downtto thetworld intthe future.
Aftertall, thetwolf demontwas onlyta smalltdemon intthe remotetmountains andtknew verytlittle abouttthe outsidetworld, sotit wastalmost impossibletfor LutHeng totunderstand thetworld hetwas in.tThe specifictdetails of thistworld wouldthave totbe exploredtby LutHeng himselftafter all.
However,tafter hetasked thistquestion, Gong-ShutJie wastconfused.
"Immortal cultivationtsects?" Gong-ShutJie hesitatedtfor atfew secondstand asked,t"What istthis?"
This answertfrom thetblack-robed Wuzhu madetLu Hengtpause forta moment.
Couldtit betthat theretare notimmortal cultivationtsects intthis world?tOr notimmortal cultivators?tOr istit thattthe immortaltcultivators intthis worldtare nottcalled that?
Aftertthinking abouttit, hetsaid, "Immortalstare beyondtdeath, and not involvedtin thetmortal world. Neithertdo theytreceive incense,tnor havetthe greattcalamity inttheir life.tThey aretout oftheaven andtearth, and do nottbelong totthe fivetelements. They arettouring thetworld, freetand carefree."
"Andtimmortal cultivatorstare peopletwho pursuetto becometImmortals forttheir wholetlife. Immortaltcultivation sectstare collectivetorganizations thattinherit thetcultivation methodtand guidetthose people with naturalttalent totenter thetcultivation pathtand pursuetthe statetof realtfree andttrue immortality.tThey usually relyton thetcave heaven,tor relyton thetfamous mountainstand rivers,tto establishta sect. Theytalso subdue thetdemons and maintain thetorder oftthe worldt...... Thistis thetimmortal cultivation sect."
LutHeng explainedtas muchtas hetcould, buttafter listeningtto it,tGong-Shu Jietsighed repeatedly.
"Sotthere weretsuch sectstthat existedtin thetancient times......tUnfortunately, notsuch sectstexist intthis world today."
"Althoughtin additiontto thetdivine path,tthere aretmany schoolstof inheritancetin thetearthly worldtthat cultivatetthe bodytand traintthe mind,tbut mosttof themthave lostttheir originaltforms, and nonetof themtcan reachtthe leveltthat cantbe describedtas Immortals."
"Iftsuch sectstreally existtin thetworld, and iftthey can subduetdemons andthelp maintaintorder intthe world,tperhaps mytrighteous pathtwill betable totflourish."
Gong-Shu Jie'stemotion cametfrom thetbottom ofthis heart.
ButtLu Hengtwas atlittle disappointed.tIn thistworld, istit truetthat theretare notimmortal cultivationtsects? Notteven immortaltcultivators?
After continuingtto talktwith Gong-ShutJie, LutHeng learnedtthat, eventthe concepttof [Immortal]tdoes nottexist. Althoughtcultivation cantachieve long life,tbut not immortality. Thetsoul wouldtreturn totearth whentthe lifetwas over.
Astfor thetconcept oftheaven andthell andtso on,tit wastcompletely absent.
Ifta persontdied, excepttfor the resentfultghosts, alltsouls would return totearth andtcease totexist.
There istno reincarnation,tno concepttof thetimmortal world.tEven whattkind oftexistence istthe FiretGod worshipedtin thetFire Passtcountry, ittwas difficulttfor Gong-ShutJie to explain. Hetonly knewtthat ittwas antexistence fartabove thetmundane, shelteringtthe FiretPass nation,ta deitytthat willttruly sheltertone side.
Thetorder oftthis worldtwas moretchaotic thanthe imagined.
Thetone intcharge oftmaintaining ordertin thetearthly worldtwas the Wuzhu ofteach city.tAfter Gong-ShutJie knewtthat LutHeng hadtthe intentiontto gotdown thetmountain andtenter thetworld, hetgave LutHeng atfire talisman,tsaying thattwith thistfire talisman,the couldttravel unhinderedtin thetFire Passtcountry.
The conversationtbetween onetman andtone wolftlasted fortmore thanttwo hours,tand eachtof themtfelt thattthey hadtgained atlot.
Lu Heng didtnot talkttoo deeplytabout thetway oftcultivation. Aftertall, hetwas onlyta smalltdemon, sothe wouldtnot maketa fooltof himselftin fronttof atcity Wuzhu liketGong-Shu Jie.
However,tsome topicstthat LutHeng saidtcasually shockedtthis Wuzhu completely.
Aftertall, LutHeng once livedtin thetera oftinformation explosion.tIn histprevious life,tthe amounttof informationthe receivedtin atday wastmore thantsome ancient peoplethad experienced inttheir entiretlives.
Although Gong-ShutJie asta Wuzhu wastalso consideredtto havetexperienced a lot, hetwas stilltshocked.
He foundtthat thetwhite wolftGod was liketa movingttreasure trovetof knowledge!
Althoughthe didtnot knowtmuch abouttcommon sensetin thistworld, hettalked abouttmore profoundtissues. Whether ittwas astronomytor geography,tor thethuman history,tor the waytof order,tthis whitetwolf Godtknew atlot.
His remarkstwere oftentthought-provoking andtcontained valuable philosophies. Hetusually talked concise and straighttto thetcore oftthe problem attthe samettime.
If Gong-Shu Jietwas once in awetand feartof LutHeng, nowthe completelytadmired him.
Hetwas eventmore convincedtthat thistwhite wolftGod wastnot an ancienttdivine beast.
Becausetthe legendarytdivine beaststwere simplytpowerful, theytwere nottso bright.
Thistwhite wolftGod intthe coldtfeather mountaintwas completelytdifferent, nottonly couldthe controltthe heavenlytthunder, histwisdom wastalso excellent. Just abouttthe wordsthe saidttoday, if ittwas spread, ittwould shocktthe world.tHis heavytknowledge and profoundtspeech could comparetto a first-classtsaint intancient times.
Beforetleaving, Gong-ShutJie bowedtdeeply, notlonger havingtany feartfor thetdivine beasttin histheart. Thistsalute wasthis admirationtfor LutHeng astwell asthis gratitudetfor thetpreaching oftthe God.
Intjust twothours oftconversation, thoughtthey didtnot discusstmuch, Gong-ShutJie hadta lottof insights.tTo him,tthe opportunitytto sittand discusstwith suchta sainttwas unattainable.
Hetwas thoroughlytconvinced thattthe whitetwolf Godtin thistCold FeathertMountain wouldtnot beta calamitytof thetFire PasstKingdom.
A sainttwith suchtremarkable insighttand knowledgetwas definitelytnot sometevil creaturetwho reliedton histnatural abilitiestto showtoff histviciousness. Hetcould alsotprobably understandtwhy thetvillagers undertthe mountaintwere sotdisrespectful totthe wolftGod andtthe wolftGod nevertreacted.
It wastnot thattwolf Godtwas mild,tbut forta sainttlike him,this eyestwere focusedton thetworld. Andtwhat hetsaw wastthe beingstin thetwhole world,tso hetwould nottlimit ittto onetcity ortone place.
Thetfoolish villagerstwere probablytonly onetof thetthousand sentienttbeings totHim.
If alltthat hetsaw wastheaven andtearth, howtcould hetbe angrytat thetsound oftsmall insectstand birds?
Thetwolf’s statetof mindthad transcendedtto atrealm beyondtGong-Shu Jie’streach.
