A young man in white clothes with long hair laughed and said, "Ji Ning, my little friend, you're too tense. You don't even know who I am, yet you ask me what I'm doing here, isn't that a bit hasty?"

  Ji Ning's heart was muttering to itself.

  Tense?

  A pure Yang True Immortal is sitting right in front of you, can you not be nervous? After the Xian Yuan Conference, Ji Ning also understood that the True Immortals and Heavenly Gods wouldn't care about so-called geniuses unless they really took a look. After all, no matter how many geniuses there are, how many can actually cross the tribulation to become a Heavenly Immortal? Let alone a pure Yang True Immortal.

  "May I ask who you are?" Ji Ning asked.

  "I am a carefree person of the three realms, born in the ancient world and also obtained the Tao in the ancient times. My name is Jiang Jun." The white-clothed young man with long hair sighed, "I rarely venture out, and even when I do, I seldom use my name. So very few people know me."

  He immediately looked at Ji Ning and blinked, "I did tell you my name."

  Ji Ning's heart relaxed a bit, and it seemed that this person in front of him didn't have any malicious intentions either.

  "And you, stop calling me 'senior' all the time, just call me Brother Jiang directly." said White-clothed Jiang Jun.

  Ji Ning was shocked.

  Ginger brother? A pure Yang true immortal lets himself be called 'ginger brother' by him. Ji Ning isn't a fool, he naturally understands the meaning behind this.

  "It seems that if I don't make my intentions clear, you young man won't be able to calm down." White-robed Jiang Jun glanced at the two small creatures beside him, Xiao Qing and Bai Shui Ze, "Let these two spirit beasts retreat for now."

  "Alright." Ji Ning immediately responded, letting Bai Shu and Xiao Qing leave first. With the pure Yang True Immortal's power being completely capable of easily pinching him to death, Ji Ning naturally also obediently listened.

  Inside the pavilion, only Ji Ning and Bai Yi were sitting opposite each other.

  "I suppose you've guessed it, I'm here today at the behest of my master to come and fetch you." White-robed Jiang Jun smiled and said, "In other words, my master wants to take you on as a disciple, and you'll become my junior brother."

  Ji Ning held her breath and couldn't help but ask: "Who is Elder Jiang's master?"

  "Nature is the most powerful being in the three realms, an existence equal to that of the founder of Taoism." said Bai Yi Jiang Jun.

  Ji Ning's eyes lit up.

  It's true that when the other party asked me to call him "Brother Jiang" earlier, I had some foreboding. But now that I'm really facing all this, I still feel unbelievable.

  Ancestor of the Way!

  I fought to the death to win first place in the Immortal Fate Conference, but in the end, even the Red Ming Dao Ancestor did not choose me as his disciple. The slovenly True Person was also chosen by the "Xuanwu Great Emperor" as a disciple. I had no choice but to prepare for second best and become a pure Yang True Immortal's disciple. Now, suddenly, a Pure Yang True Immortal named Jiang Jun appears, saying he has come on behalf of my master!

  "Ji Ning." Huang Mao's voice suddenly echoed in Ji Ning's mind, "This Jiang Jun said he was born in ancient times, and achieved the Dao in ancient times! But I've never heard of him, and he said his master is the Ancestor of the Dao... We must figure out which Ancestor of the Dao it is. Among the three realms' Ancestors of the Dao, some are good friends with Master San Shou, but some are sworn enemies! You can't afford to join the sect of one of San Shou's sworn enemies. With the Ancestor of the Dao's insight, if you learn the Dao under him for a long time, you'll definitely reveal your connection to San Shou. If you join the sect of one of San Shou's sworn enemies, it would be like jumping into a pit."

  Ji Ning suddenly woke up.

  It's as if I was suddenly drenched with a bucket of cold water!

  "May I ask which Taoist ancestor?" Ji Ning asked.

  White-clothed Jiang Jun's eyes had a color of worship and said:

  "Shi Zun he has been with Chaos since ancient times, and Pan Gu Nü Wa are good friends."

  "Famous in ancient times, he had beheaded several divine demons and Dao ancestors."

  "The three realms have another name for him, yet very few people have seen him."

  "Buddhist and Taoist teachings are all interconnected; affairs of the three realms can be understood in a single dream."

  "He has many disciples, but the world is completely unaware."

  "If we're talking about who's the most mysterious in the three realms, it would be this master of mine!"

  Bai Yi Jiang Jun shook his head and said.

  Ji Ning was taken aback: "Who exactly is it?"

  "Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave, it's Bodaozu!" Baiyi Jiangjun's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Ji Ning.

  "It's him, it's him, the crescent moon and three stars... The most mysterious Daoist ancestor, the most mysterious Daoist ancestor! Ji Ning, you're in luck, haha... You're really in luck. How did the Daoist ancestor know about you? How did he find out about your existence?"

  "Is it necessary to be so agitated?" Ji Ning asked in her heart.

  "Of course, it's exciting! You don't know his reputation at all, Ji Ning. How can I put it... in terms of teaching disciples... Bodhi Patriarch is absolutely the top-notch in the three realms. What that Jiang Jun said earlier was correct, Bodhi Patriarch indeed taught many formidable disciples. However, Bodhi Patriarch has a rule: when he teaches his disciples, after they leave his tutelage... without his permission, it's forbidden to reveal that they are Bodhi Patriarch's disciples. That's why in ancient times, many powerful loose cultivators were actually under Bodhi Patriarch's wing!"

  "Some ordinary people are not very clear. However, the master San Shou Dao Ren understood and knew the severity of this Bodhi ancestor." Huang Mao Da Xiong exclaimed excitedly.

  "Oh." Ji Ning replied, "What's so mysterious about him?"

  "Yes, he is indeed the most mysterious Dao ancestor!" Huang Mao Da Xiong affirmed, "In the three realms, even Pangu and Nüwa don't know his origins. Nobody knows where his cave abode is located. Unless he allows it, others can't find his cave abode."

  The grotto-heavens of other powerful beings in the Three Realms can all be found, after all, powerful beings must come into contact with the outside world, and even invite other friends to their own grotto-heavens.

  "This Bodhisattva ancestor accepted many disciples and even invited good friends to his cave mansion. However, whether it was his disciples or his good friends... as long as they left the cave mansion, they could never find it again. It's worth noting that his good friends were also true gods of the same level as the Bodhisattva ancestor, who had personally entered the cave mansion and couldn't find it after leaving. Isn't that strange? Isn't that mysterious?"

  "So mysterious?" Ji Ning exclaimed in surprise.

  The ancestor of the Tao, is a great being in the three realms, who grasps the existence of the Heavenly Way.

  Have you ever been to a place in person and then couldn't find it again after leaving?

  How strange!

  "No one knows where his cave is, not even his many disciples who have been cultivating in that cave for many years. They still can't find the cave unless Bodhi Patriarch nods, and then they can return." Huang Mao Da Xiong sighed, "Years ago, Master San Shou Dao Ren once said... In the entire ancient world, among the many powerful beings, if we talk about survival skills, Nuwa Niangniang is the strongest, followed closely by this mysterious Bodhi Patriarch."

  "Bo Lao Zu, mysterious and unparalleled, other powerful beings can't even find his cave abode. Just think how strong his life-preserving abilities are." Huang Mao Da Xiong sighed, "If our master had Bo Lao Zu's kind of life-preserving abilities, he would definitely still be alive today."

  Ji Ning listened with his eyes wide and mouth agape.

  This is simply a freak among the three realms' powerful beings, no one can find his cave abode, and in terms of preserving life, he is second only to Nüwa.

  "Old Ancestor Buddha Dao cultivated both, one dream can know the three realms, his actual strength is unfathomable. This Jiang Jun... Old Ancestor Buddha once beheaded a God Demon Dao Ancestor, I'm not too clear about it, but it should be true, there should be a True God or Dao Ancestor level existence that died at his hands, and more than one." said Huang Mao Da Xiong Dao.

  "What an intimidating presence." Ji Ning's heart was shaken.

  "What's most important is that your master, San Shou Dao Ren, and Pu Tao Zu are sworn brothers in life and death!" Huang Mao Da Xiong exclaimed excitedly. "Real sworn brothers, Master San Shou Dao Ren and his relationship with him are much closer than with Chi Ming Dao Zu. Back when Master was refining this Water Palace, he even asked for Old Man Pu's help!"

  "Ah." Ji Ning understood how good San Shou Dao Ren and Pu Lao Zu's relationship was.

  "As the ancestor of Bodhi, I will certainly not harm you, nor would I deign to harm you." said Huang Mao Da Xiong.

  Ji Ning's inner self conversed with Huang Mao Da Xiong, and his face couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.

  The white-robed Jiang Jun opposite smiled and said, "My master can know the three realms in one dream. Your great summer's fate is so big... My master has already discovered it in one dream, just like being present to watch. At this Fate Assembly, my master didn't look at anyone else, only looked at you alone."

  "Is it like being there in person?" Ji Ning suddenly understood.

  It may be difficult for Zhen Xian Tian Shen to discover the Star Plucking Hand.

  The great ability is what can be discovered, especially this great ability and San Shou Dao Ren are still good friends in life and death.

  "And Master asked me to bring a message, saying... 'Huang Mao Xiao Xiong, have you been well lately?' White-robed Jiang Jun said, 'He said that as long as I bring this message, you will follow me.'"

  Ji Ning's heart was racing fast.

  Isn't it referring to the spirit of the Water Palace?

  "Ji Ning, the old ancestor of Bodhi has had a dream that knows the three realms, and must have discovered your Star Plucking Hand. He guessed that you are the successor of the Three Lifetimes Daoist. So he personally ordered someone to bring you along." Huang Mao Xiong's voice was full of excitement, "Hurry up and go, hurry up and go! As long as we get to Bodhi Old Ancestor, we'll know how Master is doing now."

  The spirit of the Water Palace... is eager to know whether its master is dead or alive.

  Just as Ji Ning was talking with Bai Yi Jiang Jun, Qi Wang had already arrived at Yan Wang Fu.

  "The Immortal Fate Conference has just ended, how did you come here?" Yan Wang smiled and said.

  "Of course, it's because of Ji Ning." Qi Wang smiled and said, "Your Majesty personally went to see Master Changqing, you also know Master Changqing's temper, he doesn't like teaching disciples, and is even more reclusive. However, this time it was the will of the Dao Ancestor... so Master Changqing still nodded in agreement, deciding to accept Ji Ning as a disciple."

  "Oh, Master Changqing is a sword immortal, and Ji Ning is also a natural-born sword immortal seed. It's indeed suitable for you to teach Ji Ning. But I'm worried about you, Master Changqing..." King Yan said with concern.

  "This is no longer your concern." King Qi shook his head. "I have been ordered by His Majesty to deliver the token of Long Qing's uncle to Ji Ning."

  "It seems that Ji Yu is going to bow down under Master Changqing's gate." Yan Wang said.

  Yan Wang hoped that Ji Ning could find a good teacher due to his relationship with his granddaughter, but the only 'Sword Immortal' of the pure Yang True Immortal level in the lineage of the Red Bright Two Ancestors was Long Qing Sword Immortal.

  The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked, and before long, they had already arrived at the gate of Ji Ning's immortal mansion.

  "Ji Ning." Yan Wang shouted out loud.
