Chapter 17
He will come back in 12 years to take them to the sect . Now , his journey with his future wife in the eastern part of the continent was done .
He was not sure where to go next and Xue Bing proposed to go west since , it was heard that various evil and demon cultivator are fighting against Buddhist
Thinking it was a good idea they will pass by the famous Southern part where everything is said to be backwards and poor .
After all, the West was in an opposite direction and the North will be their final direction since they will not stay long because powerful monsters could take them for intruders .
After a quick journey, the South is indeed barren and the aura is poor . Resources are often underground or where some parts were relatively intact after the big war against monster races .
We need to know that beast and monsters are different, monsters possess intelligence and beast only instinct.
This special situation gave birth to a special profession: the geomancer, a specialist of the earth . They could sense various earth lines and veins of mineral with their abilities
They could also have powerful seismic power that could shake or break the earth . They could also rearrange earth lines to make them smooth to solidifies the earth and gather the aura of the earth
In this barren land they were incredibly popular after all in conjunction with a powerful formation master they could "heal" a small part of the Southern land .
Lin Sheng was curious because even in the myriad sect they were no geomancer , probably because it's not necessary
Lin Sheng knowing more than other because he is from Earth and has read some novels .
He thought that if someone could rearrange all the earth lines and spirit veins of the Southern continent to make it suitable for all living beings to survive .
The merit would be enormous and their future path will be a lot easier. Even Lin Sheng was tempted but it would waste his time since it did not need it for the time being .
We could see that the population was not even 1/100 of the eastern part . Truly a barren land not really suitable for humans , there were some good cities but outside of these cities they were only beasts and a hot temperature.
The cities were protected by a formation and the key lines of the earth were controlled by a geomancer ensuring a suitable place for human beings . Despite their effort it's clearly not enough
Each city breach by beast means millions of mortals dying since they were all populated inside . If he could ,in the future , he would try to change the Southern land .
Although he is not a saint , he could do good deeds because he thought it's right to follow his own heart . He came from Earth and although he can't change the world . He still aspires to a world where everyone is not hungry and can work freely . Although a distant dream, it is not impossible
The more powerful cultivator he encountered was a nascent soul elderly with not long to live .
He visited most of the cities and found a disciple by the way . He was similar to Mu Tian. His talent was poor but a special physique related to the earth . It means his comprehension is superb but his aptitude is blocking him .
Lin Sheng thought about it for a while and decided to find a geomancer 2 tier top inheritance. He thought that when they could not progress further they could repair the Southern part of the continent for merit , paving the future for them .
His new disciple was named Wu Xing, a rogue cultivator with a single earth spirit root. Seeing Lin Sheng's aura and his meaning to accept him as a disciple , he knelt directly . Well no surprise there .
Having a new disciple he decided to take him back before exploring the West .
It took him 3 months to come back .
Now he was in a bit of a dilemma after all he now has 5 disciples corresponding to the five elements .
Mu Tian more biased towards Wood
Hua Feng more fire based
Jia Wei more water based
Jiu De more metal based
And Wu Xing more earth based
Although most of them have only 1 spirit root of a certain element it only means their talent in other elements were poorer .
He could divide his own five element Sutra into 5 for the different attribute so they could concentrate only on 1 element
After some thinking he decided to proceed and 2months later , he was done and gave the corresponding exercise to the right person
As for Xue Bing , after talking for a while with her master they were ready to continue
And so did they , they departed from the center of the continent towards the West
With time they encountered more and more Buddhist and some hidden demons and evil cultivators
After some exploring and staying in famous towns he now know the general situations
The mortals and cultivators only have 2 choices . Either they believe in Buddhism and donate money and incense for protection or they could pledge allegiance to a powerful demon or evil cultivators offering him/her various human sacrifices like children or virgin boys and girls .
You just want to live in peace , almost impossible. You did not believe in Buddhism and donated money or incense . Well it's probably someone with a dark heart or demonic thought and is not protected and sometimes even bullied or worse . It's also the target of followers of demon or evil cultivators.
Most of the Buddhists turned a blind eye , after all they got incense and faith , plus more money. After examining the situation. Lin Sheng was outraged to discover that Buddhist cultivators could actually destroy the demons and evil cultivators if they paid a certain price .
After more thinking he understood that without demons , why would the mortals pray and devote themselves to bouddhisme . Although some are pure they are only the minority and could do nothing except protecting a small part of land
A sad sight , after all he is too weak to change anything for the time being .
A Buddhist cultivator corrupted by faith and power can even be worse than demons .
While he was traveling and lost in his thoughts , he found another disciple but this one was special . His heart and mind was pure , he even saw a small Buddha vaguely in his aura .
With him maybe we could change the West but this talent is a double sword , because he could become a pure Buddhist or a pure demon. It only depends on how he is educated. Even he could become the 2 at the same time .
Well he still asked the young boy what he wanted to become , the young man named Jing Hun response was , I will follow what my heart told me is right
Hearing this pure answer , Lin Sheng had a small Epiphany and breakthrough all the way to the peak of nascent soul
He laughed out loud and accepted his answer and took him in the next journey towards the North
It's been 10 years since the beginning of his journey. Now he was going to visit the North at least the part around the infinite mountains otherwise it's too dangerous
