Returning to the cave, Ming Xin looked at his master who was meditating with a gloomy face.
Towards this master of his, at this moment, his heart was already filled with killing intent. At this moment, he understood that if he wanted to own this cave dwelling, he had to get rid of this old man first. Otherwise, he might never be able to obtain the ownership of this cave dwelling.
It had to be said that greed was the greatest source of change for people. Before he had discovered this cave, Ye Zhongxuan merely wanted to teach him a successor so that he could leave peacefully when the end of his life came; while Ming Xin only wanted to learn a set of skills so that he could return to the mainstream of society after his apprenticeship; between the two of them, although their relationship couldn't be said to be very deep, the fact that they had been together in this mountain for so many years could still be considered to be quite deep.
But the moment he discovered this cave dwelling, Ye Zhongxuan immediately developed the ambition to make the Dongxuan Faction shine brightly in his hands; Ming Xin was even more extreme. In order to possess this cave dwelling, all the feelings he had for the past few years were immediately forgotten; his master, whom he had called master for a few years, had now become the stepping stone for him to occupy this cave mansion. In front of this absolute benefit, all his emotions had been completely annihilated.
No wonder someone from the Taoism said that heavenly tribulation was not scary, nor was earthly tribulation. Only human tribulation was the scariest. Everyone knew how to guard against enemies, but against those close to them, how many of them would defend against them? The human heart is hard to predict!
Ming Xin gazed at his master from afar and the emotions he had towards Ye Zhongxuan grew fainter and fainter, while his killing intent grew stronger and stronger. In this immortal cave that felt like a paradise, the aura emitted from his body seemed to be completely out of place with the environment here.
However, he had no plans to make a move now.
This was because he knew how big the gap was between him and his master, and he didn't have absolute confidence. He would absolutely not make a move without the certainty of being able to kill with a single blow.
Even though he was only looking at Ye Zhongxuan from afar, a layer of sweat unconsciously seeped out of his palms.
”Phew!”
After looking at Ye Zhongxuan for a long time, Ming Xin took a deep breath, turned around, and walked out. He was afraid that if he continued to watch this scene, he would lose his mind and end up losing everything. This was especially so for the things inside the cave that were filled with boundless attraction. These things that should have been able to calm the hearts of humans, at this moment, were actually able to arouse his desire to occupy the land.
When he arrived at the cave outside, it was already night. Ming Xin skillfully found a flashlight inside the cave and walked outside.
As he was blown by the cold wind in the mountain, he felt a burst of coolness from above his head, causing his state of mind to calm down quite a bit.
”This old fellow.” In the past, it would take at least a day and a half before he could enter a deeper level of meditation. Now that he had a breakthrough, he wondered if he had entered the deepest level of contemplation in this time period. If I were to still be able to sense the outside world, if I were to act recklessly, I would definitely die at his hands. Let's wait for two days first! ”
Ming Xin shook his head. He looked at the sky full of stars and sighed.
No matter when it was, there was no difference between day and night. He was afraid that he made a mistake, so he didn't enter the cave. So, he slept on the bed made of hay in the cave.
As for the fifth Jade Fault, for Lin Jin to look at those books, not every book would be flipped open. Moreover, the speed at which he flipped through the books was different from that of an ordinary person's. From his point of view, he was still reading at the same speed as when he was in high school, not that fast. However, if another person were to look at the book beside him, they would be surprised to find that when he was flipping through the book, the right hand that was flipping through the pages almost had an afterimage.
And for that reason. But it was because he was too engrossed in it. At the same time, his thinking speed was hundreds of times faster than an ordinary person.
When he entered that realm of Intent Step of Transmutation. In a few seconds, his subconscious would be able to automatically calculate the trajectory of all the matter in the surrounding space, without affecting his own thoughts. The speed of his thinking had reached an unbelievable level. Although he hadn't entered that level when it came to reading books, it was easy for him to achieve such a speed of reading books that was far beyond his reach.
After reading all these books kept by the Dongxuan Faction, Lin Jin had a rough understanding of the Taoism. This Taoism was actually not as calm as he had imagined in the past. Instead, there were dangers everywhere, and it was even more dangerous than the world of ordinary people. At that time, the Dongxuan Faction, a large sect that was famous throughout the Taoism, had been suppressed by the other cultivation sects to the point of annihilation because of some disputes. One could imagine how deep the waters of the Taoism were.
With regards to Taoism's situation, Lin Jin did not feel any fear, he only felt that a beautiful and leisurely state of mind had been destroyed in his heart, which made him feel a bit of a pity.
Lin Jin sighed, and couldn't help but guess what the current Taoism looked like.
However, he immediately thought that although it had been a few hundred years since the last person recorded these records in the Dongxuan Faction, there was no difference in the hearts of people. Most likely, there was no difference between the modern Taoism and the Taoism from a few hundred years ago!
Perhaps, only people who are far stronger than their current Taoism would have the heart to not fight!
