Bing Yi pondered for a long time.
"May I ask, Daoist, are there other methods?" Bing Yi's eyes revealed a look of anticipation.
Xuanqing nodded slightly: "The second method requires Daoist to change your way of survival."
"I can transform you into a Spiritual Treasure. With your innate divine roots, you will surely become a remarkable Innate Spiritual Treasure."
Bing Yi was obviously frightened by Xuanqing's words, and the anticipation in his eyes turned into panic.
He stammered, "Th-this... Daoist... you..."
Had he not been certain that Xuanqing harbored no malicious intent, Bing Yi would have fled on the spot.
This plan was too terrifying.
It was hard for Bing Yi not to suspect that Xuanqing had ulterior motives.
"Daoist, don't panic. Our Yuxu Palace is a legitimate place and won't harm you."
"There are two most efficient ways to resolve the cause and effect of life and death. One is to kill the enemy, and the other is to let oneself die and disappear."
Xuanqing explained, "If Daoist exists as an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it is a form of dying and disappearing, erasing the cause and effect, avoiding numerous schemes, and thereby foiling the enemy's plans."
"In this form, Daoist can still retain some spiritual wisdom and autonomously choose those with affinity, whether strong or weak."
"By choosing a strong individual, you will lose freedom and be at their disposal; choosing a weak individual, you can select a heavenly talent and nurture them slowly, eventually allowing them to exact revenge for you."
"Moreover, Daoist can infiltrate, enter the enemy's ranks, pretend to follow the mastermind, seize opportunities, and look for a chance to retaliate."
Xuanqing looked at Bing Yi and said, "This method offers high flexibility and more autonomy, presenting many possibilities in the future."
"The downside is that Daoist might lose freedom, and there is no possibility of further cultivation realm advancement before reshaping."
After this explanation, Bing Yi's doubts were finally dispelled, and his worried heart settled.
[Indeed, it appears to be a legitimate rescue method.]
Comparing the options, transforming into an Innate Spiritual Treasure seemed much better than self-destruction.
Choosing a strong individual ensures future safety and no worries of life and death.
Choosing a weak individual would be like selecting an heir, switching from one host to another through countless epochs, ultimately finding the destined one!
Infiltration could work well too, using their own methods to retaliate against the mastermind!
Undoubtedly, this method greatly appealed to Bing Yi.
Seeing Bing Yi deep in thought, Xuanqing sat on the Cloud Platform with a smile.
He did not deceive Bing Yi; this method was indeed feasible.
If it succeeded, Xuanqing's Path of Artifact Refining would gain significant progress.
It would be a win-win.
[Refining a complete Da Luo Supreme into a Spiritual Treasure, just thinking about it is quite interesting.] Xuanqing was somewhat hopeful that Bing Yi would choose this method.
But it still depended on Bing Yi's decision.
The pros and cons had been laid out; it was up to him to choose.
After some struggle, Bing Yi looked at Xuanqing and asked, "May I ask, Daoist, are there any other methods?"
He felt somewhat guilty as he asked, wondering if he was being too greedy.
Bing Yi knew that obtaining just the first method already made this trip worthwhile.
"There is indeed another method."
Xuanqing said, "The third method is to transfer the calamity and seek protection from powerful forces and great abilities."
Bing Yi's heart stirred upon hearing this.
In fact, his visit to Kunlun Mountain was initially to seek support from powerful beings!
"Then I..."
Just as Bing Yi was about to speak, Xuanqing interjected, "This method also has its drawbacks. The cause and effect on you is immense. If the grace of achieving the Dao transforms into a calamity, it will be incredibly terrifying."
"Even the mighty forces and great abilities would have to carefully consider the consequences."
The cause and effect among Da Luo Supremes is not trivial.
To offend an unknown fishing master, or even a group of fishing masters for a Da Luo Supreme is worthwhile to be cautious about.
Especially for widespread powers, the chance of sheltering Bing Yi is almost non-existent.
If you take Bing Yi into your heritage today, tomorrow you will be marked by others.
If the opponent uses disgraceful and low-handed tactics to retaliate against your disciples and juniors, what will you do?
Unless one can confidently deal with those scheming against Bing Yi, anyone would avoid him.
Does Xuanqing intend to shelter Bing Yi?
Yes, but the intention is not strong.
Because Xuanqing could not figure out the mastermind.
The one likely possessed precious treasures, or it was a group effort.
The risk was considerable.
"Daoist, don't lose hope. There are still great abilities capable of sheltering you."
Seeing Bing Yi's disappointed face, Xuanqing gave him a direction: "Daoist, leaving East Kunlun might bring a glimmer of hope, but it could also usher in another calamity. Daoist must think carefully."
Bing Yi hurriedly asked, "Daoist, could you give me a clear direction?"
This request was somewhat overstepping.
However, Xuanqing did not blame him.
In the face of life and death, one naturally grasps at every possible option.
Xuanqing smiled and shook his head: "I cannot say."
He is now the Ancestor of Heavenly Immortals, how could he directly recommend Bing Yi to the Demon Path?
Moreover, Xuanqing had no deep connection with him, revealing his true nature after a single meeting felt inappropriate.
As for the calamity Xuanqing mentioned, it was naturally the struggle between immortals and demons.
If Bing Yi joined the Demon Path, he would inevitably participate in that future calamity, and survival would truly be uncertain.
Another point is, why did Bing Yi come to Kunlun Mountain? This question was worth pondering.
"Was it due to the infinite possibilities represented by Da Luo, or was it the behind-the-scenes promoter, or perhaps Hong Jun trying to complicate things for me?" Xuanqing pondered in his heart.
