Chapter 1 The Wedge Seeking Collection

  "What is cultivation? Borrowing from the false to cultivate the true, since ancient times there has been talk of cultivating the truth. Has anyone ever seen an ordinary person become a fairy or a god? Are the great abilities in ancient myths really existing? Everything is an unsolved mystery."

  The times are changing, everything is progressing, technology is advanced, believing in science, there is no god in the world, atheist!

  The legendary Xiu Zhen Sect has vanished, its disciples have gone into hiding in the mountains and forests. The 100,000 great mountains' demonic beasts have disappeared without a trace, and countless sea creatures in the rivers, lakes, and oceans have been poisoned to death. (Life's polluted water is too much, even monsters can't take it.)

  In the 21st century, an era of rapid development. The speed of updates and replacements is so fast that it makes people speechless. So-called gangsters and underworld bosses are gradually whitening and turning into legitimate businessmen.

  On the Dongxing Street in LY City, SD Province of Huaxia Country, a group of young people who looked like thugs were sitting in a barbecue restaurant, savoring the barbecue. Several young men were all under twenty years old.

  "It's really TMD frustrating! My woman was snatched away and that's it?" one of the young men with yellow-dyed hair said indignantly.

  "Hey, how can our brother's woman be taken away so easily? In a bit, several brothers will help you get her back. The Qingtian Hall is not to be trifled with, and our Blood Knife isn't one to eat vegetarian food either. Everyone, get your gear ready! Wait, let's eat first." A stout man with a thick face and a scar said fiercely.

  The fat man who was speaking was a Tang master of the White Dragon Association, and could be considered a relatively big shot in this area. The young punk who had been robbed of his woman and beaten up was one of his underlings, and he was quietly eating roasted meat at the corner of the table, his name was Wang Yu.

  Wang Yu looks very ordinary in this group, with small arms and legs, weighing less than 100 pounds, wearing a pair of glasses that make him look gentle and refined. But the more he is like this, the more eerie it feels to have such an anomaly among a group of thugs...

  "Brother Feathers, what's going on? The brothers are listening to you." Whoa, just now that fatty and a few young people consulted with each other and came to ask about Wang Yu's meaning... What's the situation here?

  Wang Yu adjusted his glasses and said indifferently, "Hmph, do I need to say anything? Can hurting my brother be settled like this? And that woman, if she's someone who would rather die than submit, we can rescue her on the way. If she's a two-faced person trying to curry favor with Jingang, we'll kill her too!"

  The few people sitting there were all shocked, Lao Da is really going to play this time.

  Time passed minute by minute, Wang Yu brought people to a bar on Dongxing Street. The bar was in chaos, men and women were dancing wildly in the dance pool, kissing each other, the scene was as romantic as it could be.

  Although Wang Yu debuted at the age of 12 and started hanging out with his older brother, he is now only 16 years old. In the past four years, he has been frequenting bars and other places but has never really had any contact with women. Seeing such a scene naturally made him feel somewhat unbearable, while the others didn't quite feel the same way.

  Wang Yu and a few others entered the bar without anyone noticing. The fat man called over a waiter and ordered a few bottles of wine.

  The fat man opened the wine bottle with his teeth, took a few big gulps, and then spat it onto the waiter's face, cursing: "Damn it, what kind of crappy famous wine is this? Not even a hint of wine flavor! Get your manager over here now!"

  The waiter saw that something was wrong and made a signal with the bouncer, quickly going to report the situation to the manager.

  "Hey, where's your brother from? So arrogant?" Before the manager could even react, the onlookers had already swarmed around.

  The fatty didn't wait for the manager to arrive, he flipped over the table and rushed forward, immediately opening a bottle of liquor for the leader Red Hair.

  "Damn, blind your dog eyes, dare to hit me, brothers, come on, beat them all crippled! If something happens, I'll take responsibility!" The red-haired thug was blown up and didn't fall down, but instead calmly directed, looks like he's not an ordinary thug either.

  The thugs closed in, Wang Yu calmly picked up an unopened bottle of wine from the ground and smashed it towards one of the thugs. He kicked away another thug who was getting into the swing of things, but more and more thugs poured out from behind the bar, with what looked like a cleaver in their hands.

  Wang Yu was really anxious now. Was he going to lose his brother here? He hadn't even repaid Ge Qiang's kindness yet.

  ……

  Everything happened so fast, the people in the bar were terrified and trying to escape, but only one man wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses remained where he was, drinking his drink as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

  A hoodlum who emerged from the back rushed over to a man sitting there unmoved, shouted at him, and as a result, the man didn't even lift his head, raised his hand, and that hoodlum fell to the ground.

  The situation on Wang Yu's side was extremely critical, with several brothers being hacked to the ground. The young man who had been robbed of his girlfriend was also on the verge of collapse. At this moment, a man dressed in luxurious attire, wearing a large gold chain around his neck and a gold ring on his hand, appeared before everyone. Beside him stood a beautifully dressed woman, none other than the girlfriend of the young man who had been robbed.

  Wang Yu looked at her leaning against the middle-aged man and was also furious, with flames bursting in her eyes.

  "Haha, you're Wang Yu, the Swell Little Wolf King who's been making a name for himself on the road recently. What does it mean to bring people here to wreck my place today? TMD, I'm fed up with this, and it's not your turn yet."

  The man raised his hand to hit Wang Yu, but unexpectedly, his wrist was caught by Wang Yu. The light reflected on the glasses, and a cold glint flashed through. Wang Yu spat out word by word, "You! T, M, D, what are you? Still dare to come and lecture me?" As he spoke, he punched the middle-aged man.

  The man was knocked back by Wang Yu's punch, his nose bleeding and tears falling to the ground. He furiously roared: "What are you all staring at? Come on, come on! Hack him to death! Kill them all!"

  Wang Yu no longer resisted, but instead used all his strength to protect his fallen brother. The knife wounds landed one after another on Wang Yu's back, and soon his back was a bloody mess.

  The man sitting not far away drinking suddenly moved, "Everyone stop." Just this one sentence, everyone on the scene stopped moving, no one could move. These people didn't hear the man's words and stop voluntarily, but were fixed in place. Wang Yu was dazed and confused, unaware of what was happening, his entire body covered in blood, the knife behind him hadn't fallen, Wang Yu felt a burning sensation on his back, he struggled to get up, his first glance at his brothers lying on the ground, but without any knife wounds, he smiled very satisfactorily.

  Wang Yu snatched a machete from someone's hand and swung it at the middle-aged man and the woman beside him, both of whom came running.

  The man sitting there drinking then cast a look of approval, "Good! Good! Good! You have perseverance! You have obsession! You have charisma!"

  "Are... are you a god?" Wang Yu stumbled towards the man, having just realized that it was he who had been helping them. He also understood that it was this man who had immobilized these people and saved both him and his brother.

  "Haha, if you think so, then I'm a god. Kid, not bad. But there's no free lunch in the world, old man saving your life also has a purpose."

  "You said, I can do it, I will definitely do it." Wang Yu's consciousness gradually became blurred at this time. Seeing the enemy fall down and his brother not being seriously injured, he put his mind at ease. He was really too tired, he just wanted to sleep...

  "Hey, don't fall asleep! Do I have to carry a dead man back?" The man looked at Wang Yu slowly closing his eyes, yet still standing, and couldn't help but look up to him three points more in his heart.

  A ray of light shot out from the man's hand, transforming into a sprinkling of starlight that fell on Wang Yu. A miracle occurred as the wounds on Wang Yu's body slowly healed, smooth and delicate skin gradually appearing, and the bloodstains also faded away in the starlight. Wang Yu slowly opened his eyes.

  Can't help but sigh at the magic of the immortal technique, as long as there is still a breath left, it can be saved, this is not empty talk.

  "Come on, kid. Let's go train together. You saw what I just did to save you. If you follow me and train, I guarantee you'll have this kind of ability too, and maybe even surpass mine." The man threw out the bait.

  "Hmm... how did you save me...... I didn't see it, can you do it again?" Wang Yu didn't know if he was being foolish or intentional.

  The man was greatly embarrassed, "Alright, I'll do it again." After saying that, he punched out a set of magic seals, and starlight sprinkled down on Wang Yu and his brothers. In no time, they all got back up one by one.

  "I'm going to kill you! You've stolen my Xiangxiang, I'm going to kill you!" The young man who had his girlfriend stolen woke up, but he was extremely agitated.

  Wang Yu rushed up and slapped him twice, "Damn it, can't you have some dignity? Is it worth it for that woman?" Wang Yu grabbed his collar, his emotions also very agitated.

  "Cough cough, kiddo, I've saved your life this time, you saw that, didn't you?"

  "Ah, the immortal's lifesaving grace I will definitely repay, farewell for now, see you again when there's a chance!" Wang Yu made some perfunctory remarks to the man, preparing to slip away, his brothers also seemed to be energized, saying goodbye and preparing to leave.

  "Hehe, I don't want you to repay me, just come back and cultivate with me." The man stretched out a hand, beckoned forward, and Wang Yu was caught back.

  "Come on, kid, follow me."

  "What about those brothers of mine?"

  "I'll ensure those brothers of yours live a peaceful life and fulfill your wishes, how's that?" The man said with narrowed eyes in a soft voice.

  Wang Yu couldn't think of anything good to say, so he simply replied: "My brothers and I have always wished for the White Dragon Society to become the largest gang in the land of China! Let our brothers live a good life!"

  "Hmm, they'll make it happen, so you should come with me now."

  "Hmm, where shall we go?"

  "Return to the sect."

  "What?" The man pulled Wang Yu's hand and disappeared into the bar, only to reappear in a remote mountain where people rarely set foot. He pushed open a stone gate and revealed a massive stone chamber with only a simple transmission array inside. The man led Wang Yu into the array, activated his spiritual energy, and the array flashed before returning to calmness.

  At the same time, the man and Wang Yu appeared in a fairyland-like place. The man took Wang Yu to the depths of the clouds and mist, and soon came to a magnificent temple. The man respectfully said to the person on the temple: "Taishang Laozu, I have brought him."

  "Oh? Have you found that person?!" The Supreme Elder excitedly stepped down from the throne. He stared at Wang Yu beside the man, looking at him non-stop, "Is this the Innate Body of the Tao? Not bad, not bad!" The Supreme Elder looked left and right at Wang Yu, just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, becoming more and more pleased with what she saw, making Wang Yu feel embarrassed.

  "Kid, be my apprentice. As long as you become my apprentice, I'll provide you with delicious food and drink, and from now on, you can swagger through the Celestial Heaven Sect."

  "Hey, elder, isn't this inappropriate? This person was discovered by me, brought here by me, and has already taken me as his master." The man said with a look of urgency.

  The Great Elder glared with both eyes, "Xiao Ya Zi, you've gone too far. How dare you fight with Shifu for a disciple."

  "In any case, it's all settled, he has already made me his master and I am his apprentice." The man declared with a self-satisfied expression.

  The Great Elder had no choice but to come and ask Wang Yu, saying: "Little Yu, are you willing to take me as your master? I'm much more powerful than Little Yanzi, and I'm even his senior sister! Think back to when Little Yanzi first arrived at the Cang Tian Sect..."

  As soon as the elder mentioned his own embarrassing story, Zhan Wu Yan couldn't bear it anymore. "Don't say any more, whatever you want." Zhan Wu Yan said with a crying face.

  "That's right, if it had been like this from the start, then there wouldn't have been any problems at all."

  "Where is the Guardian of the Temple?" "The disciple is here."

  "Take Wang Yu to the Azure Water Courtyard."

  "Yes."

  "Wait a minute, you go and arrange things first, tidy up the room."

  "Xiao Yu, come with Master." Long Zhan stretched out his hand to open the secret passage behind the grand hall and led Wang Yu into the tunnel. The tunnel was filled with brightness. It turned out that the tunnel was inlaid with fist-sized night pearls.

  Looking at Wang Yu's shocked expression, Long Zhan couldn't help but feel proud of himself and said: "Are these stones pretty? There are many in the warehouse of our Cang Tian Sect. Do you want me to take out a hundred or eighty for you? Hahaha..." Wang Yu nodded excitedly.

  Long War led Wang Yu to continue walking down, after about 500 meters, they arrived at a huge underground warehouse. There were no lighting devices inside, but it was still bright, and this time Wang Yu was really shocked. My god, is this a warehouse? It's simply a treasury, the walls and floor are all made of pure gold, and the shelves that hold things are actually made of diamond.

  The things on the shelves are even more extraordinary, each one is surrounded by a faint aura. Which one wasn't something that the cultivators would fight and scramble to get? Whatever you take out of here will cause a bloody storm in the cultivation world, and even in the mortal world, it can be sold for a sky-high price.

  Long War said seriously to Wang Yu, "As a meeting gift for your master, I can let you choose one treasure from this treasury to take away. You see for yourself, and when you've chosen, tell me. Remember, the more dazzling the light is, the less it's worth. Go."

  Three periods of time have passed, "Master, I've made my choice."

  "Wow, so soon? Let me take a look." Long Zhan looked at the black armor in Wang Yu's hand with furrowed brows. "Are you sure about this armor?" "I got this armor from an ancient relic, I don't even understand what it is myself."

  "I just want this armor, this armor makes me feel very intimate." "Okay. Follow me to the Transmission Hall, and I will teach you the sect's town-temple technique - Cang Tian Jue." Wang Yu did not disappoint as a born Dao body, in just one month he had already practiced the first layer of Cang Tian Jue: Deng Tian Pian, his cultivation had even reached the peak of Qi Refining.
