On the first day of Chinese New Year's Eve, Yue Qingyuan, Xiao Ziqi and Bai Lingshan's senior brothers and sisters from the Sword Sect came to the Plum Blossom Mountain Villa as guests, and coincidentally, Fang Wenxuan of Shattered Sky Mountain also came later.

Mu Qianmei warmly received them, and together with Liu Tingfeng, she took the three of them to visit around Meihua Villa, and finally came to Xianyunju.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and it was almost dinner time, so Mu Qianmei ordered to prepare wine and food and eat together.

On the dining table, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, several people chatted for a while, and Fang Wenxuan suddenly asked:

"Miss Mu, I heard that the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard has been scheduled to be held on the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, will you participate as scheduled?"

Mu Qianmei asked in surprise:

"Oh? When was it determined, and how did I not know? ”

Fang Wenxuan immediately replied:

"I also just found out today, and when I heard the news, I came over immediately."

Yue Qingyuan also said with a little surprise:

"Why is it so early this year? It doesn't seem to be so early in previous years. ”

Xiao Ziqi didn't seem surprised and said:

"This year's situation is quite special, I thought it wouldn't be held as scheduled, but I didn't expect it to be held earlier."

Bai Lingshan said happily:

"Hehe, then let's go back to the Sword Sect after watching the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard here! I like to watch the excitement the most. ”

At this time, the jade interface, who was unwilling to be lonely, said:

"Now that the West Rain Country is divided into two, will the number of participants be reduced?"

Yue Qingyuan thought for a moment and replied:

"There should be some impact, but the impact will not be too great, under normal circumstances, people who should come will still come, and such an event will not be stopped because of the split."

Bai Lingshan hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice:

"You say, why did the old emperor of the Xiyu Kingdom choose to cross the tribulation at this time?"

Recently, almost everyone has been shying away from talking about this issue, and Bai Lingshan couldn't help but ask because they were all a group of young people here, and after drinking a few glasses of wine.

Fang Wenxuan saw that everyone was also confused, and then replied softly:

"I heard from the master, the old emperor left some old wounds in the war three thousand years ago, and some time ago, if he couldn't break through the current realm, the limit should have arrived, so he had to choose to take the risk of breaking through, if he could succeed in crossing the tribulation, he could continue to improve his cultivation, and he could continue to live, but unfortunately, he failed."

"Actually, if he cultivates normally and has no old diseases, there is still a great hope of success in the tribulation, especially for Emperor Zun, he has a treasure to protect his body, and he has a master to protect the Dharma, and the success rate is a little greater, but unfortunately his cultivation is no longer at his peak, the old disease recurs, and his body is when he is weak, so he failed to withstand the twelfth thunder tribulation, so he failed."

Xiao Ziqi said with a little worry:

"No wonder the five emperors tacitly didn't choose to spend the thunder tribulation, it seems that this thunder tribulation is really not easy to survive?"

Yue Qingyuan nodded and said:

"Yes, if you don't choose to survive the thunderstorm, you can live for tens of thousands of years normally, who is willing to take such a risk!"

Mu Qianmei shook her head and said:

"Cultivators, they are already going against the sky, if they are full of fighting spirit and have no fear in their hearts, it is easy to succeed in crossing the tribulation, they already have fear before they cross the tribulation, and they are invisibly weaker by three points, if the five emperors are all like this, then they are destined to be unable to succeed."

Liu Tingfeng also echoed:

"When the normal cultivation reaches that level, you should follow the trend, break through to the peak in one go, and then go to the thunder tribulation, your heart is full of fighting spirit, and the thunder tribulation will not be so terrible. Now, they all choose to survive the thunderstorm when they have to survive the thunderstorm, and the state is no longer the best state, and their hearts are full of fear, so it is indeed difficult to succeed. ”

The rest of the people also nodded secretly, feeling that this was very reasonable.

Yue Qingyuan thought of the words of the Sword Sect Changfeng Venerable, and also nodded slowly and said:

"Venerable Changfeng once warned my disciples of the Sword Sect, if you want to have ambitions in your career, don't imagine that you can also have high achievements in cultivation, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, if you have gains, you will inevitably lose, if you want to go further in cultivation, you can't covet the power of the world."

When Fang Wenxuan heard this, he couldn't help but say with reverence:

"No wonder Venerable Changfeng can have the cultivation he has now, in his life, in addition to cultivation, he rarely spends time doing other things, even the affairs of the Sword Sect are handled by others, he himself has been in retreat and cultivation for many years, as if there is nothing in this world that is worthy of his nostalgia."

Bai Lingshan said with great admiration:

"I heard that although Venerable Changfeng has a very high cultivation, his person actually looks quite young, as if he is twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he is very handsome, I don't know what he thinks, why don't you find a Taoist companion to cultivate with?"

Yue Qingyuan admonished:

"Venerable Changfeng is the ancestor of our Sword Sect, don't discuss his private affairs, the so-called people have their own aspirations, some people value affection, some people value righteousness, some people value power, some people are greedy for wealth, the reason why our ancestor can achieve today's achievements is because he has seen through these ties and has no distracting thoughts, so he can make rapid progress in cultivation, a thousand miles a day, far more than many predecessors."

Xiao Ziqi still couldn't help but say:

"You say, if Venerable Changfeng also likes power, will he be able to unify the outer heavens now?"

Bai Lingshan thought about it, and said excitedly:

"Of course, today's Emperor Venerable of the Peerless Realm, his cultivation is far lower than that of the Venerable Changfeng, if the Venerable Changfeng wants to dominate the outer heavens, he will naturally be able to do it! Hehe, I feel excited when I think about it, the king is the only one in the world, I am the only one, so majestic, why doesn't Venerable Changfeng do it? ”

In the end, I was a little disappointed.

Yue Qingyuan shook his head and replied:

"If Venerable Changfeng had such thoughts, then he would not have the achievements he has today, if you look at the emperors of each country now, they are all every day, working hard for state affairs every day, how much time can be spent on cultivation? Every time Venerable Changfeng retreats for years, decades, or even hundreds of years, the country cannot be without a king for a day, if he rules the heavens and the outer heavens, there will be more affairs, and if he does not go to court for tens or hundreds of years, isn't this country chaotic? ”

Bai Lingshan muttered to herself:

"Senior Brother seems to be very reasonable, if he becomes a monarch, he will not have time to cultivate, and if he does not have time to cultivate, he will not have today's achievements, and without today's achievements, it seems that it is also very difficult to dominate the heavens and the heavens!"

Mu Qianmei smiled and said:

"The so-called fish and bear's paw can't have both, under normal circumstances, it is natural to choose the same, you have to give up the other, it is impossible to choose both."

Bai Lingshan said suddenly:

"If he had thought like this before, he would not have been able to do it, but if he had thought like this now, wouldn't he have both?"

Xiao Ziqi couldn't help but smile and said:

"Senior sister said very reasonably, if Venerable Changfeng has this idea now, he can realize it, but if he has such an idea now, then it is not him."

Mu Qianmei smiled and said:

"For cultivators, being able to ascend into the divine realm is the ultimate goal, however, many people walk and walk, and they go in other directions, some hold great power and are reluctant to let go, some control hundreds of millions of wealth, they are reluctant to give up, and some feel that it is difficult to bear that loneliness and loneliness the further they go, and they would rather find a partner and enjoy the sweetness of love than bear the lonely trip."

"There are very few people who can persist in the end, among them, there are also personal talents, and some people reach a certain level, no matter how difficult it is to advance, how far they can go can only go with the flow."

Jade looked at Mu Qianmei, then at Liu Tingfeng, and said with a smile:

"Actually, you don't have to cultivate alone, with the dual cultivation of Dao couples, you can also reach the realm of ascension."

Bai Lingshan didn't know why, so she said casually:

"It is difficult to synchronize with fellow practitioners, often one has excellent talent, while the other has average talent, so halfway through, one will not be able to keep up with the pace of the other, and in the end, there is still only one who can go further, in fact, think about it, wouldn't that end be even more miserable!"

Speaking of this, Bai Qianqian couldn't help but glance at the Tiger King, there was a little worry in her heart, the Tiger King saw Bai Qianqian's eyes, didn't understand what she meant, and thought it was a secret Qiubo to convey her feelings, so he nodded to her with a smile.

Mu Qianmei, who inadvertently saw this scene, smiled lightly and shook her head, but did not speak.

The Tiger King was in a good mood, so he said to Yue Qingyuan and the others:

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, if it is convenient, a few people will stay in Plum Blossom Mountain Villa for the New Year, I don't know what a few people think?"

has been following Mu Qianmei for a long time, and now she speaks a lot more neatly.

Before Yue Qingyuan could answer, Bai Lingshan replied happily:

"Okay, good, I like the scenery of this Plum Blossom Mountain Villa, let's stay in the Plum Blossom Mountain Villa for Chinese New Year's Eve!"

Xiao Ziqi looked at Yue Qingyuan, wanting to hear his opinion, Yue Qingyuan pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, how can I disturb here, how can I spend the New Year at someone else's house?"

Mu Qianmei smiled lightly and said:

"Why not? Walking in the rivers and lakes, informal, Plum Blossom Mountain Villa is too deserted, if a few can spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, it just seems lively. ”

Fang Wenxuan confessed:

"The three of them are guests from afar, and it's the same where they celebrate the New Year, so let's stay here for the New Year! However, there is a master waiting at home, and it is not appropriate to not return on Chinese New Year's Eve, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

Yue Qingyuan thought about it, then nodded and said:

"Since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, it's a lot of trouble!"
