Within the secret realm.
It is almost the same as before entering for the first time. At a glance, it is still filled with fairy mist, full of fragrance, and strong vitality turning into mist.
One breath is enough to withstand several days of hard work.
Being here feels like a paradise in heaven.
No, to be more precise, this place may really be regarded as a blessed place. As for Lu Chengfeng, he is an earthly immortal existence that transcends the level of human immortals.
The rich vitality penetrates through the body's various orifices and continuously penetrates into the body. The difference from the last time is that with Chen Yuan's current cultivation and strength, he can sense that the rich vitality here seems to be somewhat extraordinary.
There was a faint light in Moro's eyes, and his eyes swept across the vast white mist. Without saying a word, a gravel road appeared under his feet. It was somewhat similar to the road Chen Yuan had taken, but it was also different.
Chen Yuan and Moro looked at each other and nodded slightly. Then, Moro slowly took steps forward, and the mist gradually dispersed and condensed.
After about a moment, Chen Yuan and Moro arrived at their destination. Right in front of them, there was a tree more than ten feet in size. The trunk was as thick as the waist, with mysterious lines on it.
There was nothing on it.
The leaves are different, and they move automatically in the absence of wind, seeming to welcome the arrival of Chen Yuan and Moro.
The pure spiritual energy seemed to be swimming, constantly circling towards the two of them. It was one of Chen Yuan's chance guides to climb the Immortal Tree.
Under the tree, there is a stone table with a chessboard and three teacups. Under the stone table, there are three stone stools, and on one of the stools, a figure is sitting.
Wearing a white plain robe, his beard and hair are all white, his long eyebrows are fluttering, his face is rosy, and his whole body exudes a fairy-like temperament, like a wisp of spring breeze blowing the ends of his hair.
It was Lu Chengfeng!
When Chen Yuan and Moro turned their eyes away, Lu Chengfeng also raised his head at this moment, nodded towards the two of them, and said softly:
"You two, please."
"Thank you, donor."
Moro clasped his hands together and sat directly across from him without being polite. Chen Yuan said, "Thank you, senior" and sat between the two of them.
"Fellow Taoist Moro, can we talk for a while?"
Lu Chengfeng smiled calmly.
"good."
Moro nodded.
"please."
Lu Chengfeng stretched out his finger, and Moro was not polite. A black light condensed on his fingertips and turned into a chess piece, which landed on the chessboard below.
"Snapped."
"You guys try this tea."
As Lu Chengfeng said this, he condensed a white light on his fingertips, which also fell on the chessboard, and began to play chess with Moro.
Chen Yuan was even more unkind. He could sense that the game between Lu Chengfeng and Moro was not that simple. The chessboard seemed to be condensed by the power of rules.
It's not just a simple game.
All he could do was wait and see.
Given Lu Chengfeng's strength, he didn't need to go to such trouble if he wanted to harm them. Therefore, although Chen Yuan was cautious, he didn't go too far after seeing Moro sipping tea.
He also picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
The refreshing fragrance of tea contains a strong bitterness, but soon it turns into sweetness in the mouth, like a spiritual energy flowing down the throat and into the lungs, nourishing the physical body and soul.
“Good tea!”
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. He didn't have much feeling for tea, but the reason why he considered this tea to be good tea was because its spiritual energy was very strong.
It seemed to be the clear spirit that he had when he first extracted the Immortal Tree.
It can cleanse the physical body and soul.
"good."
"This tea was grown in my blessed land. It was harvested every three hundred and sixty years. What you two drank was the first round. It has been more than seven hundred years ago."
Lu Chengfeng stroked his long beard, nodded and smiled.
"It's expensive."
"Haha, only the two of you can come here to taste the first product. I have been trapped here for nearly a thousand years. I have a deep sleep and rarely wake up, so I can still think of it as preserved."
"Come and taste this fruit again."
Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, and the Immortal Tree moved accordingly. After the light flickered on the originally empty tree, three human-shaped fruits appeared.
It's the Immortal Fruit.
The fairy fruit slowly floated in front of the three of them, waiting to be tasted.
Chen Yuan looked at the fruit in front of him and sighed. He worked hard to win a fruit in the immortal battle. Now, it was easily delivered to him and allowed to be tasted.
The situation is very different...
"Donor Lu is so polite..."
"Haha, few people come to this blessed place. Now there are two distinguished guests, so I should treat them well." Lu Chengfeng motioned for the two of them to enjoy themselves.
Moro nodded and thanked him, took off the Immortal Fruit, and slowly swallowed it.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate any more and took a bite of the Immortal Fruit. The juice overflowed and the spiritual energy was full. At the same time, a strange fairy spirit went straight to the soul.
The light and purple soul slowly merged.
In fact, the Immortal Fruit is best used to restore the injury of the soul. However, Chen Yuan is not injured now, but this spiritual energy can still make his soul more powerful.
"Snapped."
Lu Chengfeng continued to play chess with Moro with a serious look on his face, and the same was true of Moro, as if what was in front of him was not a chessboard, but a battle about Tao.
"I wonder how much Donor Lu knows about the Immortal Realm?"
Moro asked solemnly while playing chess.
"How much do fellow Taoist Moro know?"
Lu Chengfeng did not answer, but asked instead.
"To be honest, the poor monk only learned about the Immortal Realm in Lingshan Mountain, and he understood that there is an Immortal Realm existing above this human world.
Treat the world as a hunting ground, treat all living beings as if they are nothing, and treat us like chess pieces. "
"anything else?"
"The Immortal Realm is very powerful."
"Haha, there is no doubt about this. If Mother was not extremely tyrannical, even Chu Taizu would not be able to annihilate her, and instead she would fall into the hands of the Immortal Realm."
Lu Chengfeng seemed to be reminiscing and sighed softly.
"Does the donor have any countermeasures?"
Lu Chengfeng shook his head:
"It can only be broken with force."
"How difficult it is."
"Yes, when I competed with Chu Taizu for hegemony in the world, I was defeated by him. I resigned myself to the defeat and surrendered all my power. Not long after Chu was established.
Taizu of Chu once allowed me to establish the city of Emperor Wu and use the East China Sea as my habitat..."
"Taizu is kind."
Moro sighed.
Lu Chengfeng shook his head:
"He is not kind. If it were not for the powerful enemy of the Immortal Realm, with his temperament, he would never allow Emperor Wu City to have such great power. Even the imperial court would tolerate this."
"oh?"
"Thousands of years ago, the world was in chaos for a thousand years. There were constant wars in various places and small countries continued. He came from a humble beginning and had great fortune. He only had one enemy in his eyes."
"Fairy Realm."
"The correct answer is that a thousand years ago, the Immortal Realm was not a secret to us at that time. From various clues, we can see that someone was deliberately leading the world to chaos.
I lost the fight with him, and was willing to hand over my power and retire behind the scenes. This is actually the case. It's a pity that that guy was undefeated in his life, but he still fell into the hands of the Immortal Realm. "
"Donor Lu joined the war?"
"No, I had not yet become an immortal at that time. I had just understood the rules and was unable to participate in the war. The only real participants were Chu Taizu and one million elite soldiers."
Lu Chengfeng dropped another white piece onto the chessboard. The light flashed on it, and something suddenly changed. An endless chilling air came from it.
"In that battle, millions of Chu's elite soldiers were defeated in the Immortal Realm. The guy was seriously injured and was close to death. The fate of Chu's country was almost destroyed.
The only good thing is that although Chu Taizu was defeated, he also hurt the Immortal Realm. After the battle, Taizu came to find me and allowed me some opportunities to teach me how to practice. He didn't ask for much. I only hope that when the Immortal Realm reappears in the future, if I am still alive, I can contribute.
When the manpower is limited, no matter how strong it is, it is impossible to defeat the immortals. Only when the people are united can there be a chance of survival. After he established the Great Chu, he only reigned for a short period of time.
Then he passed the throne to his heirs, and at the end of his life, he broke out one last time and went to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm alone, paying the price of his death.
It has completely damaged the Immortal Realm for more than a thousand years, and it has not dared to be exposed to the world again. Only when the Great Chu was destroyed more than two hundred years ago, some traces were revealed. "
"After the former Chu was destroyed, did Lord Lu ever watch the battle?"
"At that time in the capital, I did have a ray of spiritual thought hidden to watch the battle. If Da Chu had hope, I wouldn't mind taking action. Unfortunately, the Xiang family was doomed after all.
The two immortals died, and the immortals from the Goddess Palace and Shushan Mountain who helped in the battle also disappeared. Thinking of some previous feelings, I secretly helped the Xiang family.
The former Prince of Chu successfully escaped from the capital, and now he has gained some momentum. "
As he said this, Lu Chengfeng glanced at Chen Yuan and seemed to understand the relationship between him and Xiang Qianqiu.
"How much does Donor Lu know about the Immortal Realm?"
"After all, I am not a direct bloodline of Chu Taizu. Although he gave me some advice, he did not tell me everything he knew.
There is probably only one Xiang family that can be passed down. "
"I see...."
Moro's eyes were a little disappointed. He actually wanted to know more about the Immortal Realm from Lu Chengfeng, so he accepted the other party's invitation.
"These things are unknown, and even Chu Taizu probably didn't know much about them. After all, he was just attacking the Immortal Realm, and he probably didn't know much about their origins.
We just need to know one thing. "
"Um?"
Lu Chengfeng said with serious eyes:
"There is more than one immortal in the Immortal Realm!"
"hiss...."
Although Moro was somewhat prepared for this, when Lu Chengfeng talked about it, he still took a breath of cold air. An immortal was an insurmountable barrier for them.
If there are two, or even more, then...
What are the chances?
"Although that guy has a flamboyant personality, his strength is truly invincible in the world. The human emperor's luck is in his hands, and the heaven and earth are helping him. He once said something when he gave me some advice."
"What?"
"Unless the Martial Emperor is resurrected, he will be invincible in the world. He is so arrogant and his strength is beyond doubt, but he still fell into the hands of the Immortal Realm.
If it were just an immortal, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing. "
It's not that Lu Chengfeng looks down on the immortals, but he thinks too highly of Taizu Chu and thinks that even the immortals are no match for him. Of course, the premise is that there is only one.
"Where did those people come from? Donor Lu has lived in seclusion in Emperor Wu City for so many years. Is there any trace of him?"
The history that can be checked only dates back to Emperor Wu, more than three thousand years ago. In fact, he has also searched for their presence in the vast ancient books.
However, due to the discontinuity in history, the period thousands of years ago was too chaotic and there were too few things left. Even the records about Emperor Wu were only a few words.
That is to say, as more and more ruins were opened later, rumors gradually emerged that Emperor Wu was paving the way for human warriors.
"I have indeed searched, but most of them are just suspicions without any basis. However, I have discovered something vaguely in various ancient records and in the few words left by Taizu of Chu."
Lu Chengfeng continued.
"I hope you can tell me..."
"It's just some discoveries, it's nothing. Fellow Taoist Moro wants to know, and I won't hide it." Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, not taking it seriously, and said slowly:
"There are ancient records that Emperor Wu unified the Central Plains, expelled the demon clan, and established a dynasty in the human world. He created a dynasty called Daxia. The history is incomplete. We only know that the country lasted for more than a thousand years, and then it became a thousand-year-old dynasty. It was a troubled time, and the first signs of those people seemed to be when Daxia collapsed."
"Donor Lu, you mean that these people destroyed the dynasty created by Emperor Wu, just like the great Chu?"
Moro frowned and asked in a solemn voice.
"good."
Lu Chengfeng nodded.
"But...how is this possible..." Moro's eyes were full of shock and confusion. If we talk about time, it has been more than two thousand years since the collapse of Daxia. If we count, Go to their practice time.
It may even reach about two thousand five hundred years, and this is what makes Moro suspicious, not that he doubts the truth or falsehood of Lu Chengfeng's words.
But he doubts the longevity of the immortal.
Regarding the longevity of the Sixth Realm, there are many rumors all over the world. Some say it is about 500 to 800 years, and some say it is about a thousand years. However, no matter what the rumors are, there has never been any rumor that an immortal has a longevity of more than 2,000 years.
As immortals of the Sixth Realm, they naturally understand where longevity comes from. The soul is immortal, that is, longevity will last forever, but there are still constraints of time.
Moro realized that his lifespan would never reach a thousand years.
Even if he is an Earth Immortal, this is still within the scope of the Sixth Realm, and there will definitely not be any shocking changes. On this point, he is quite certain.
In his understanding, the Immortal Realm is just a huge blessed land and cave. There is no and cannot be six paths of reincarnation, and it cannot reproduce a world.
It can only prove that they are all natives of the human world.
Such a person, even if he locks his vitality and delays the loss of lifespan, it is absolutely impossible for him to survive for more than 1,500 years...
"It's not impossible. Fellow Daoist Moro is hostile to the Immortal Realm. Have you never doubted why the Immortal Realm deliberately created chaos in the human world?"
