A few days ago.
The desire to survive made Ethan Yan put away all the illusions and illusions that enveloped him as soon as he saw Adrian Rong under the nameless tree, and turned back to his original six-year-old appearance. This was also the first time that Ethan Yan saw the "side effects" of his premature Dan formation since he reached the Nascent Soul stage. Even he was shocked that he was so small!
Adrian Rong could only be more frightened than Ethan Yan. The strange impulse and enthusiasm in his eyes that Ethan Yan could not interpret, after suddenly facing Ethan Yan's abrupt appearance, really dissipated a lot, it can be said that the speed was amazing and the effect was immediate.
"Why did you suddenly become smaller?" This reunion, which was originally very touching, became indescribable at this moment.
"This is what I really look like." Ethan Yan deliberately walked a few steps towards Adrian Rong, raised his head, turned around, and wanted Adrian Rong to see him clearly.
A little fairy boy, with small clothes, rosy cheeks, and round, bright eyes, full of childishness. With a height of five heads and six years old, he is at the age of innocent, like a clear pool and flying kites hand in hand. He can be as cute as he wants, and... unless you are a pervert with an abominable face, it is really hard to have evil thoughts about Ethan Yan.
"Then when are you going to turn back into a young man?" Adrian Rong said calmly.
"After I ascend to heaven." Ethan Yan gave a distant answer, "I think it may be more conducive to my practice to keep my true self like this, what do you think?"
I can’t say! At that moment, Senior Rong perfectly demonstrated what it means to smile on the outside but say MMP in the heart.
However, they have all been practicing for so many years, what storms have they not seen? In short, they are very open-minded. Soon, Adrian Rong came to terms with it. They could not become Taoist friends or even a closer relationship for the time being, but it didn't matter, they could still be father and son!
Adrian Rong vented his restlessness in a different way. He held Ethan Yan's soft arms, lifted up the little boy, and held him high.
Ethan Yan: "......"
Yan Baozi maintained an expressionless look as he was thrown into the air and caught again, over and over again, and was unable to resist.
Ethan Yan didn't know what most people would think when faced with this situation. He only knew that he started thinking about a question that he didn't know why he had never cared about in his previous life - what was the level of cultivation of his first fellow Taoist?
Not to mention Ethan Yan's saintly heart in his previous life, just to say that he has already reached the perfect stage of the Tribulation Crossing Stage in this life, is there still something in this world that he cannot resist? It's not the kind of resistance that is slightly better than his, but the real resistance that makes him unable to even raise his index finger to shoot out spiritual energy. It's simply terrible.
It's like a kitten whose mother bit it on the scruff of the neck, and it can only stand there stiffly and allow itself to be kneaded and flattened by her mother.
Saint Yan was in a state of severe illness.
How is this possible? !
Ethan Yan's understanding of the world has been greatly impacted, and he is undergoing a difficult repair process of "tear down --- rebuild --- tear down again --- rebuild again", slowly restarting.
When Ethan Yan finally got his brain back, he had another guess - if Adrian Rong was so powerful, why hadn't he ascended to heaven yet?
Ethan Yan has two lines of reasoning:
First, Adrian Rong failed in his ascension, and he disbanded and became an idle immortal. He is now going through the nine tribulations again and fighting for ascension;
Second, Adrian Rong has a secret method that allows him to retain his profound cultivation without being restricted by the laws of the Tao, so he does not need to ascend.
From the perspective of personal needs, Ethan Yan definitely hopes that Adrian Rong is the latter. And judging from various realities, Ethan Yan does not think that Adrian Rong is a scattered immortal, because - it is not that Ethan Yan is blindly confident in himself - even if it is a scattered immortal who is honored and raised as a supreme elder in Tianyan Sect, as long as Ethan Yan is willing, he is also capable of fighting.
But Ethan Yan is now unable to move in front of Adrian Rong, which is indeed abnormal.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Adrian Rong touched Ethan Yan's little head and said with a smile, "I'm just too happy and can't help myself. Taotao won't blame me, right? You like me so much that you are willing not to ascend for me. You won't mind!"
"......I'm not, I didn't, you think too much." Ethan Yan immediately denied Adrian Rong's terrible idea.
Why would he not become an immortal just because he likes Rong Xi Sui? No, when did he like Rong Xi Sui? How come he didn't know? !
Just as Ethan Yan had understood in the past, his fellow Taoist Rong really had problems with his thinking.
Adrian Rong, however, refused to listen to any answer he didn't like, and continued: "No matter what, I'm glad you can stay. If you don't like it, I won't say it, and we can still be the same as before."
Ethan Yan had almost forgotten what it was like in the past, but he was sure that it was definitely not like the way they were now - Adrian Rong would follow Ethan Yan wherever he went, taking care of him carefully, even to the point where Adrian Rong was afraid that Ethan Yan would choke when he drank a glass of chalcedony.
It is no more acceptable for a fellow Taoist whom I haven't seen for many years to suddenly become abnormal than for him to become hideous.
But there was a mysterious force telling Ethan Yan that if he said something that would not satisfy Rong Xi at this time, then his fickle fellow Taoist might do something to him.
So...the two of them just "let it be" and remain in a stalemate until today.
After Ethan Yan informed the sect leader that he had come out of seclusion, he took on some missions within the sect that had never been forced upon him, and led a group of disciples down the mountain to gain experience.
Yes, these disciples of Tianyan Sect who came to Zoutu Domain with Ethan Yan, no matter they were in the Golden Core Nascent Soul stage or the Out-of-Body Spirit stage, were not there to guard Ethan Yan, but came out to gain experience under the protection of Ethan Yan, a Tribulation Crossing Stage Venerable.
Ethan Yan chose Zou Tu as his first stop when he went down the mountain. On the one hand, it was because it was Isabella Madam’s 120th birthday (whether this was her real birthday was still a question), and on the other hand, it was because the disciple-recruiting ceremony was one of the sect’s tasks.
The person who was actually responsible for presiding over the ceremony of recruiting disciples was a disciple of the Yin generation, and Ethan Yan only played the role of deterrence and protection.
An existence that is...too intimidating.
The other Nine Star Sects probably haven't received the news of Ethan Yan's coming out. After all, Ethan Yan can mobilize his spiritual power to make the Seven Treasures Immortal Ship travel tens of millions of miles a day, but the informants from other sects don't have this ability.
However, truth will eventually come to light, and I believe this news will spread to both worlds soon.
The Yin disciple who was originally unlucky enough to be assigned the task of the disciple-recruiting ceremony was almost eaten alive by his jealous fellow disciples after hearing that Venerable Yan would accompany him all the way. He gritted his teeth and refused to give up the task. So in the end, the sect only transferred a true disciple of the Spirit Severing Stage and a True Disciple of the Out-of-Body Stage to join the team, hoping to get more blessings in Ethan Yan's limited life in the lower world.
Speaking of which, gaining good fortune is actually something that is well supported by the theory of cultivation.
Those who can become masters of supernatural powers are all extremely lucky and blessed. In the process of cultivation, improving the realm and understanding the great way are important, but strengthening the luck is also indispensable. On the other hand, if one's luck is really bad, it is impossible to become a senior master.
Such people with great fortune can often bring success to their loved ones, influence the fortunes of those around them, and at the very least, turn misfortune into good fortune.
Isabella Madam's Senior Sister Tao, who has ascended to heaven for many years, is such a lucky darling of heaven. It was thanks to her teaming up with Senior Sister Tao to explore the secret realm that Isabella Madam obtained the broken immortal weapon that could help her continue on the path of the acquired struggle. Every sip and every bite is destiny.
"This time I came out of the mountain because I seemed to have some feelings and wanted to find my destiny." Ethan Yan explained his sudden decision to go down the mountain to Isabella Madam.
"I seem to have a feeling" can be regarded as a universal excuse like "I have a destiny with this thing", and it is especially popular in the world of cultivation.
Sure enough, when Ethan Yan said this, Mrs. Yan understood and even made up an excuse for her son: "If you have never entered the world, how can you talk about leaving it? Seeing all kinds of life is indeed more beneficial to your practice. Mother herself is a worldly person. Although I can't give you much advice on practice, I may be able to give you some help on entering the world."
Before Ethan Yan could ask what happened at home again, Mrs. Yan, who never intended to tell the truth, quickly retreated. There are many experiences in the world, but family fighting is definitely not on the list of things her son needs to know.
Mrs. Yan's pair of embroidered shoes seemed to be on a hot wheel, and disappeared from Ethan Yan's sight in the blink of an eye.
Ethan Yan was left sitting alone under the chaise longue by the window, bored. This was a new feeling that Ethan Yan had after he decided not to practice. It was very novel, but he didn't like it. Ethan Yan never felt bored before. The road was long, and on the road to immortality, he would only complain that there was not enough time. He had no way to comprehend the true meaning and study magic weapons, so how could he be bored?
It was not until now, when Ethan Yan put aside all activities related to cultivation, that he realized how boring his life was.
He doesn't even have a hobby.
No, he had it before, but his hobby was to practice, practice, and practice to death. Without the goal of becoming a saint, Ethan Yan suddenly didn't know what to do.
He meant, what do ordinary people or ordinary practitioners usually do when they have free time?
Rest? Sleep?
Inspired by his mother, Ethan Yan tried sleeping with his clothes on, maintaining a posture he had not used for almost six hundred years. He lay stiffly and unfamiliarly on the overly soft couch, feeling the coolness of the hundred-year-old silk and the fragrance of the thousand-year-old elm, and forced himself to close his eyes tightly.
Then what?
How did you fall asleep?
Empty your mind in darkness?
But isn’t this the posture of retreat and meditation?
Extremely bored, Ethan Yan began to count in his mind, one Taoist school, two Taoist schools... one martial arts method, two martial arts methods... No, no, Ethan Yan was horrified to find that the more he thought about it, the faster his innate spiritual body moved, and the speed of his inaction cultivation in this life was actually faster than in his previous life!
How is this possible? !
Ethan Yan suddenly sat up from the couch and opened his eyes which were clearly black and white.
Then, Ethan Yan met the eyes of Adrian Rong, who had been standing in front of the couch and staring at him for a while.
"......You're back?"
"Um."
"You're just going to keep looking at me?"
"Yeah.~\(rq)~"
"not boring?"
"Never get tired of watching it!"
Without waiting for Ethan Yan, who was not very good at making small talk, to continue looking for a topic, Adrian Rong had already approached Ethan Yan mysteriously with that face that was so beautiful that it could make people and gods angry, and said while undressing: "I'll show you a treasure!"
