Chapter 1001: Chapter 932: I Am the Red Dust Immortal
Upon seeing Long Bo Khan suddenly charge towards Yuan, Xin Shuxiang rushed to intercept, but unfortunately, he was not as fast as Long Bo Khan.
Ming Chasha also tried to stop him but was blocked by a punch from Long Bo Khan.
Zhang San didn’t bother at all, instead looking for a flaw in Long Bo Khan’s stance.
And at that mont, as Long Bo Khan neared Yuan, he seed to suddenly see sothing, abruptly turned around, and fled swiftly like a shooting star.
As Long Bo Khan turned away like he had seen the Grim Reaper, just running off.
At that mont, all eyes present were on Yuan.
Yuan chuckled lightly and softly said, “I never expected Long Bo Khan to be such a venerable and youthful-respecting person. Not bad, not bad.”
As Ming Chasha descended from the air, looking at this old man, he felt very peculiar.
Xin Shuxiang was also shocked, looking at Yuan, unable to understand what this old man was up to.
Zhang San quickly ran over and asked Yuan, “Yuan, what exactly are you still hiding from ? Respect for the old and young, I’m not convinced!”
Yuan smiled slightly and said, “I’ve said it before, I’m just an old man. Perhaps when Long Bo Khan was young, his family was poor and couldn’t afford food and t ; perhaps I gave him sothing. So when he saw , recognizing as a past benefactor, he didn’t make a move against .”
Zhang San scoffed, no one would believe such a story ant for children!
So Zhang San pulled Yuan aside and said in a low voice, “This world is full of crises, now is not the ti to hide anything.”
Yuan knew he couldn’t hide it anymore. Although he still wanted to say sothing, after Zhang San pulled him aside and wouldn’t let anyone else hear it, he decided to speak…
“I am the Red Dust Immortal.”
“Nonsense!”
Yuan was taken aback, never expecting to be so straightforward only to be swiftly rebuked by Zhang San.
“I truly am the Red Dust Immortal.”
“Which path? You can’t be from the Thousand chanisms Path, the Imperial Path, or the All Things Path, as I know them all. And I heard the Path of Life and Death has collapsed, so there are no more Red Dust Immortals. You have no Calamity Power, nor are you from the Path of Calamity. As for the Path of Ghosts and Gods, have you seen cultivators of that path? They all rely on the power of incense to cultivate and exercise it, and you don’t have any power of incense either!”
Yuan sighed deeply, and softly said, “Your understanding of the Path of Ghosts and Gods is too narrow. This path indeed can absorb the power of incense, but the essence of this power is the power of faith. It can be said that the power of faith exists not only in the Path of Ghosts and Gods but also in the Imperial Path and All Things Path.”
Seeing that Zhang San was still sowhat confused, Yuan explained, “The common people worship the emperor; hence the establishnt of an empire. The reason why the Ancestral Dragon’s Great Qin collapsed after two generations is ultimately because it lost the faith of the people. Without popular support, how can one claim the throne?”
“The All Things Path, although it speaks of power, can it not be considered a source of faith? When everyone believes in strength, then strength naturally becos the ultimate standard.”
“The sa goes for the Path of Ghosts and Gods. This path relies on the power of faith to divide positions. I initially aggregated all positions of the path onto myself to avoid conflict over the power of faith. Later, I weakened this power, converting it to the power of incense, so that cultivators of this path still had avenues to pursue it.”
Hearing this, Zhang San realized that comparing the Path of Ghosts and Gods to the Thousand chanisms Path would an that Yuan, as the Red Dust Immortal, was monopolizing eight paths of Hundred Refinents, leaving one path for other cultivators.
“Yuan, you’re quite adept!”
“No, no! It’s not what you think. You must know that it’s because there is an abundance of free power of incense in this world that you of Great Sui could smoothly combine the paths of Ghosts and Gods with the Imperial Path. But if in the future, the Path of Ghosts and Gods develops to where there’s no more power of incense to obtain, then everyone would begin to steal from each other. At that point, anything could happen. So I hide myself, to better protect the Path of Ghosts and Gods.”
Hearing this, Zhang San curiously asked, “So what do you truly represent? I can’t figure out how you can cultivate anything to gain enough power of faith.”
Yuan looked far into the distance, a light seemingly appearing in his eyes suddenly.
“The Six Paths are six different great paths, but they are collectively referred to as the Heavenly Dao. This is because the heavens are high above and represent the most important to all living beings. So the Heavenly Dao is used to refer to the Six Paths. Now, let ask you, what is the foundation of the people?”
“The people regard food as their primary need!”
As soon as Zhang San said this, he imdiately understood what Yuan was cultivating.
“You’re not so spirit of the grain, are you?”
Yuan took a deep breath, restraining his impulse to strike Zhang San, and softly said, “I am the second Red Dust Immortal of the Path of Ghosts and Gods. The first was Shennong. Later, he beca less effective after trying hundreds of herbs and discovered that rely finding herbs wasn’t enough to feed everyone, let alone all living beings. So, he passed on the position to . What I need to do is ensure the world can produce enough resources to easily sustain everyone. This is also why I secretly helped Yang Jian many tis back then.”
Zhang San never expected Yuan to have assisted Kaihuang.
Indeed, during Kaihuang’s reign in Great Sui, the number of people who died from starvation decreased significantly, and the population even grew.
Yang Jian may have made so mistakes in his life, but he did well to at least ensure everyone was well-fed.
“Hehe… So, Senior, do you have any thods to deal with the Red Dust Immortal of the Thousand chanisms Path?”
“The best thod to deal with the Red Dust Immortal of the Thousand chanisms Path is to have a new Red Dust Immortal rise and replace him. After all, he holds power over the Thousand chanisms Path, and we neither want the path to break nor a Red Dust Immortal opposing us. Replacing him is the best option.”
At this mont, Wang Ziteng ran over to report to Zhang San that the people invited from Great Sui by the Town Martial Office had all arrived.
Hearing this, Zhang San was delighted.
“Yuan… Senior, go with Wang Ziteng, have him take good care of Senior Yuan. Get him so nice clothes. Senior, I’ll go greet a few friends who’ve just arrived; among them is soone who can replace the Red Dust Immortal of the Thousand chanisms Path.”
With that, Zhang San eagerly dashed towards the tent where the guests were.
Xing Luohou was busy tending to others, but Zhang San paid no heed to what was happening there.
Upon rushing into the tent, he found four people he had invited: Mozi, Master Ma, Zhuge Longyin, and the pavilion master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
Zhang San imdiately cupped his fists and greeted them.
“Esteed seniors, I’ll skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point. The reason I called everyone here is to ask for your help in dealing with the Red Dust Immortal of the Thousand chanisms Path.”
At that mont, the other three people in the tent, who had been chatting leisurely, all turned to Master Ma. After all, it was Master Ma who claid Zhang San as his student, praising Zhang San’s achievents as his own teaching success.
So, everyone was curious to see how this student turned out to be so reckless.
Seeing the perplexed look in their eyes, Zhang San quickly explained, “Everyone, don’t be alard. I recently t with the Red Dust Immortal of the Path of Ghosts and Gods, and with his help, we will succeed.”
Mozi couldn’t hold back, after all, with him being the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, outwardly unrelated, but secretly still involved!
“Zhang San, tell honestly, when did you lose your mind?”
