Chapter 6, The First Lesson of Connecting Heaven

Sit

Each character can be regarded as a symbol of the Way of Heaven, harmonizing yin and yang, and connecting with the spirits and deities

However, Xu Siyuan felt somewhat apprehensive

It's nothing, thank you for your concern, senior brother

You. "The Way of Heaven: Where has the courage you had before your master gone? Every scripture can be seen as a manifestation of the Way of Heaven. Contemplating the meaning of the scriptures will greatly aid your understanding of the Way. Once you finish reading, you can go find your senior brother, and he will naturally teach you to read.

Your foundation is quite good, but your control over your own power is still insufficient. I will not teach you any celestial techniques for now; instead, you should return and study the Dao scriptures more to solidify your foundation

Yichenzi, it sounds quite good as well

The sage is indeed formidable, and Xu Siyuan, having come from another time, harbors deep-seated unease within himself in this unfamiliar primordial world, as he is not strong enough.

Duobao continued, "From now on, we shall be fellow disciples. As fellow disciples, we ought to support each other. If you encounter any issues, feel free to seek assistance from your senior brother. I will certainly help with anything I can."

The sage is not entangled in cause and effect; your master uncle's willingness to repay you is called kindness, and it is also appropriate if he does not repay you! In the presence of the sage, there is no reverence. To show disrespect to your master uncle is to show disrespect to heaven and to the Dao

This is a great sin

Xu Siyuan put everything into the storage bag, but despite collecting so many treasures, he could not feel happy.

The more this happens, the more uncertain Xu Siyuan feels.

The disciples under Tongtian are quite commendable, and when Xu Siyuan makes mistakes, they are treated with a high degree of tolerance, gently letting go. The copy of the "Huangting Classic" given to Xu Siyuan can be regarded as a priceless treasure

Tongtian must be truly angry

Your mistake lies in

What is a sage? A sage is heaven, a sage is the Dao. You attempt to fathom the thoughts of a sage with the mind of a mortal, and you seek to demand a return from the sage based on the affections of the world

Xu Siyuan said: "The disciple acknowledges his mistake!"

"When I ask you to sit, you should do so. Reverence and respect should only be held in the heart. I have already accepted you as my disciple, and my disciple will always have a seat in front of me."

It is said that Cangjie created characters, but what Cangjie created was merely the script of humanity. Among the great beings of Tongtian, what is passed down is the true script of the Dao of Heaven

Even if Duobao does not speak, Xu Siyuan will still go

Remember, until you are strong enough, always maintain reverence for the sage, and never speculate on his thoughts in his presence

However, this is quite good as well

Then there is Duobao

Xu Siyuan candidly stated: "I am afraid of angering my master again; it is not easy for me to find a master."

Xu Siyuan has encountered several sages and believes he understands them, yet in reality, he knows nothing at all

It seems that Duobao is aware of Xu Siyuan's concerns, and he quietly said: "Since the Master has accepted you as a disciple, you should not overthink it. The house to the west is the Master's residence; you should go in and apologize."

Xu Siyuan earnestly bowed to Tongtian and said: "I will certainly remember the teachings of my master. If I make a mistake again, even if I am expelled from the sect by my master, I will have no complaints."

In fact, I, your senior brother, enjoy lively gatherings; however, there are not many friends on Kunlun Mountain with whom I can discuss the Dao, and both of our masters prefer tranquility. Now, it is good to have a junior brother to keep me company

Xu Siyuan had no choice but to sit on a mat, but he only dared to sit on half of it.

Where did it go wrong?" Tongtian asked again

Thank you, Master, for your forgiveness

Xu Siyuan took a deep breath, summoned his courage, and knocked on the towering door.

Xu Siyuan does not recognize any of these characters

After Tongtian left, Laozi also entered the original realm to rest

Seeing Xu Siyuan's pale complexion, Tongtian softened his tone: "Everyone makes mistakes. Since I have accepted you as my disciple, I am prepared for the mistakes you will make under my guidance. It is just that..."

Tongtian handed Xu Siyuan a copy of the "Huangting Classic" and said, "This is a book I copied by hand; take it back and ponder over it more deeply."

Thank you, Master

Tongtian continued, "You have a past with your master uncle, and he even owes you a favor, so you dare to make a request."

Xu Siyuan was laughing uncontrollably back then, but now Xu Siyuan cannot laugh at all

Of course, if you do not wish to do it yourself, then that is another matter

The original disciple Guang Chengzi also handed Xu Siyuan a furnace for refining tools, saying, "Junior brother, if you wish to refine tools, this should be useful."

The senior brother originally prepared several items to give to the future junior brothers and sisters, but today he found himself unable to present them. However, I noticed that the junior brother still needed a storage bag, so I gifted him this storage bag that I had previously crafted from a wicked dragon I killed on the eastern side of Kunlun Mountain.

From now on, the sect will be my home

The sage stands before you, yet you still dare to speculate on the sage's thoughts and predict the sage's actions

Not correct

The Unyielding Path: "Since you have entered under my tutelage, as long as you do not defy your elders, do not betray the sect, do not harm your fellow disciples, and do not bring disaster to the world, you shall forever be my disciple. As long as you are my disciple, even if the sky were to fall, your master will support you!"

Xu Siyuan does not dare

The disciple has just entered the door, yet is already unaware of the proper conduct, disrupting the rituals and regulations! Xu Siyuan pondered for a moment and replied

You have underestimated your master

Do you know why your master uncle did not agree to teach you alchemy at the first opportunity? It is because your master uncle was waiting, waiting for my decision. Although dark clouds loom overhead, no divine punishment has descended, which is why your master uncle has returned that favor to you

Do you know that you are wrong? The language of the heavens is calm, devoid of any discernible emotions.

Pushing the door open and entering, Tongtian was clearly seated on the cloud bed, evidently waiting for him

By the way, if you have any questions, be sure to come and ask me. Remember to come for sure. When Duo Bao said this, his eyes were shining with light

Tong Tian looked at Xu Siyuan seriously and said: "You have only one chance, this is your only opportunity to make a mistake. If you make another mistake in the future, our master-disciple relationship will come to an end."

I have thanked several senior brothers

Xu Siyuan suddenly recalled a joke: Once, a pair of woodcutters speculated about what kind of axe the emperor used to chop wood. One person said it was a golden axe, while the other said it was a silver axe

It feels so good to have a sense of home

Having joined the截教, I will never regret it for the rest of my life; I will always be a member of the截教!" Xu Siyuan said without hesitation

"Disciple, you are truly bold!" Xuan Du handed Xu Siyuan an alchemy furnace, "Consider this a gift for our first meeting."

With a master and senior brother, I have also established my roots in the primordial wilderness

This heart, once united, is a great disrespect

This is unexpectedly a senior brother who is eager to teach others

I knew you would be fine. Duo Bao clearly breathed a sigh of relief

Xu Siyuan expressed his sincere submission: "The disciple was wrong, and the disciple is willing to accept any punishment."

But if this is not a mistake, then where does one go wrong

As Xu Siyuan stepped outside, he saw Duobao waiting at the door. Upon seeing Xu Siyuan, Duobao asked with concern, "Are you alright"

Xu Siyuan was drenched in cold sweat, the divine will was inscrutable, and the intentions of heaven were hard to fathom. He realized that he had been too reckless before.

Xu Siyuan took the "Huangting Classic" and wanted to ask but felt a bit hesitant to do so

Furthermore, since you have entered our sect, I shall bestow upon you a title. You are burdened by worldly concerns and have too many thoughts, so I shall call you Yichenzi. May you one day attain enlightenment amidst the mundane world

"Alright, you may leave now. Remember to read the Huangting more each day." Tongtian allowed Xu Siyuan to depart

Master!" Xu Siyuan saluted.

Tongtian Da Sheng Dao: "Do you think I blame you for this? I do not know and do not care about your past, but I can see that you harbor unease and fear in your heart. You possess a desire to become stronger, and the opportunity lies ahead for you to seize it. This is not a mistake!"

He is even worse than that woodcutter
