Shicheng Palace.
There was no one in the empty hall, and the area within a mile had been ordered to be cleared.
Lu Yuan sat in the center of the hall, his eyes slightly closed, his consciousness vaguely released, communicating with the vast will between heaven and earth.
While he was meditating, a pillar of heaven penetrated the sky and the earth, and endless desires for life and people came from all directions.
With the soul hanging in the sky, it can be seen that the incoming desires of the people happened to come from the territory of the current Chu State.
At this time, these endless desires of living people gathered together and took shape. They were gradually affected by an invisible force and turned into the destiny of people's hearts.
These surges of energy gradually turned into a thick golden cloud, directly covering nearly a hundred miles in the meditation void.
"This is the moment!"
Lu Yuan's spiritual thoughts moved slightly, communicating with the Tianzhu, and a firm and vast will came, instantly stirring the golden clouds, turning them into a whirlpool, and instantly swallowed the Tianzhu.
The situation changes.
Countless golden clouds of luck are continuously absorbed by Tianzhu at an incredible speed.
And as Tianzhu absorbed these golden clouds of luck, a stubborn and dead force was quickly stirred outside the sky.
These levered forces poured into the Tianzhu, and were instantly transformed into fairy energy, which surged downwards crazily directly through the channel of Tianzhu.
At the bottom of the Heavenly Pillar, Lu Yuan's body was shrouded by the invisible Heavenly Pillar. The majestic and abundant fairy spirit flowed directly down his Heavenly Spirit, and was quickly absorbed and converted into mana.
The speed of this transformation was extremely fast, and gradually the spirit energy turned into a whirlpool of spiritual energy, emitting a psychedelic vision around the body.
"All the people will follow me, and the world will be unified. The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will stand. God help me!"
Lu Yuan recited the general outline of the Taoist Book of Taiping in his mouth, and the mighty Taiping mana in his body was instantly activated, pouring into the five internal organs and spleen in his body like crazy.
Under the extreme compression of magic power, his five internal organs and spleen were almost bursting. The extreme pain radiated from it, making his current perseverance a little unbearable, and his body trembled unconsciously.
But even though it was so painful, Lu Yuan still gritted his teeth and supported it.
The mana accumulated in the body for eight years is still gathering towards the five internal organs and the spleen under the guidance of the Taiping Mind Technique.
And under the gathering of a large amount of mana, a thick aura is slowly gathering.
The magic power he had cultivated for eight years was quickly swallowed up by the thick aura, but even so, he was still a little short of brewing the thick aura.
"Come on, with seven million people and ten thousand miles of territory, I have cultivated the fortune I have accumulated for five years. Now is the time to play its due role."
Realizing that his magic power was somewhat weak, Lu Yuan's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened. Dark yellow light shined through his eyes, and the golden luck gathered nearby was poured into the Tianzhu at a speed that was ten times more terrifying than before.
And at this moment, within the Tianzhu, the spirit energy that was ten times more powerful than before poured down like crazy.
In Lu Yuan's body, the Taoist Book of Taiping was operating to the extreme. The thick Qi contained in the five internal organs also cooperated with the Taoist Mind Technique, and was devouring the spiritual energy coming from the outside like crazy.
…
A large amount of spiritual energy entered his body, and was instantly transformed into mana by his mind, and the mana was instantly swallowed up by the thick air.
Like a glutton, his body gave off signals, craving for fairy spirit, craving for mana, and craving for evolution.
Under this endless desire, the thick cloud of luck outside quickly shrank and became thinner. In just a moment, the scale was reduced to one-tenth of its original size.
And the remaining bit is also shrinking rapidly.
If this trend continues, it may not take a hundred breaths, and this cloud of luck will completely disappear.
Fortunately, under the endless nourishment of fairy energy, the thick energy of the five internal organs and spleen that was brewing in Lu Yuan's body seemed to have finally reached its limit after receiving countless nourishments.
Accompanied by a clear sound deep in his soul, as if some kind of barrier had been broken, a streak of khaki fairy energy finally broke through the shackles of the five internal organs and spleen, appeared in Lu Yuan's body, and rapidly transformed his whole body.
Endless comfort, accompanied by the flow of immortal energy, comes from everywhere in the body.
A large amount of filthy air that had been pouring into the body from the outside world since he was born was instantly cleaned out and discharged from Lu Yuan's body as the earth-yellow fairy air was cleansed.
His whole body and mind seemed to have been purified, and they were more than twice as light in an instant. Lu Yuan felt as if he was about to ascend, and his connection with the world was countless times closer than before.
It was as if he had merged with heaven and earth and became a part of it.
But this kind of cleansing goes as quickly as it comes.
It seemed like there were only two or three breaths, and it seemed like it was just a moment.
After Lu Yuan was completely sublimated, the newly born earthy yellow fairy energy seemed to have exhausted a lot of fairy power and returned to Lu Yuan's five internal organs and spleen, huddled in it and became motionless.
However, he had a clear feeling that if he wanted to, he could continue to activate this earthy fairy energy with the power of his spiritual thoughts.
However, although he could do this, Lu Yuan did not do so.
Because he knew that the newly born Five Elements Earth Qi, when it had just cleansed his body and mind, had already exhausted the power accumulated by devouring countless mana.
Although it is not impossible to push hard at this time, there is a risk of damaging the foundation.
It is not impossible for the five elements of earth energy that was finally condensed to collapse again.
Naturally, Lu Yuan would not do such a terrible thing.
"But gathering one's energy and getting started in the immortal way, is this what it feels like?"
Lu Yuan raised his right hand, and a stream of yellow mana surged out of his palm.
This mana was pure and thick. Compared with the mana he had condensed before, it was nearly twice as thick and clear, and it was infinitely stronger.
This is almost equal to the sublimation of power.
Just like in the martial arts before, the inner strength of the warrior in his body was transformed into the innate true energy, and the entire level was sublimated.
Nowadays, from a cultivator with magical power to a monk who has condensed energy, the transformation brought about by this power is almost like changing to a different energy level.
It was precisely because of this transformation that Lu Yuan realized that although he had mastered magic power and could release spells, he was still far from being a true immortal cultivator.
…
At most, he can only be regarded as a mortal who knows one or two spells. In the world of immortality, he is not even considered a heretic.
Only at this time, when the Qi of the Five Elements of Earth is condensed in the body, and one of the Qi of the Five Elements is obtained, can the door of immortality be opened and the path to immortality be initially entered.
After that, you only need to continue to condense the Qi of the Five Elements, and add the four Qi of water, fire, wood, and gold one after another. Finally, the five Qi will move towards the Yuan and bear the flower on the top. Only then can you be considered an immortal, rank among real people, and can be called an immortal. Character.
"The road to immortality is long. Since I traveled through time, I first practiced martial arts and then became an immortal. I have been praying for twenty-four years, and today I finally entered the immortal gate. Hahahaha, so happy, hahaha——"
Feeling the cheers of countless cells in his body, Lu Yuan couldn't help but stand up and laugh loudly, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
Condensing the five elements of earth energy, this not only means that he has opened the gate of immortality, but also means that he has reached the true pinnacle in the world of Kyushu in terms of strength.
This is different from the innate master.
Although on the surface, the Xiantian Grandmaster is already the best in the world and invincible. But that's just the limit of martial arts, it's just invincible.
In addition to martial arts, there is also immortality.
In terms of strength, the Grand Master of the Third Realm, who is the pinnacle of martial arts, can only be compared to the beginner of Immortal Dao, which is the level of cultivation that Lu Yuan has achieved now.
The gap between martial arts and immortality is like the difference between clouds and mud, like the abyss of heaven.
What is more realistic is that within the ten regions of Jiuzhou today, no martial arts master has ever been heard of breaking through to the third realm and becoming a first-class Grand Master of land gods.
This means that the realm of Grand Master, which symbolizes the limit of martial arts, still only exists in theory, and no real person can achieve it.
On the contrary, it is the realm of condensation of the Immortal Dao. To this day, as far as Lu Yuan knows, there are six Taoist sects involved in this realm in the three states of Yong, Yang, Qing, and the East China Sea.
In addition to the Taoist sect, there seem to be three Buddhist sects that also have monks with this level of strength.
However, those three Buddhist schools seemed to be located in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Liangzhou, which were countless thousands of miles away from Yangzhou. They were too far away, so there were not many Lu Yuans.
As for whether the remaining states, and even the other nine regions, still have the same level of sect inheritance, Lu Yuan is not sure.
"But Taoist Master Ziyun said at the beginning that in today's world, if all the major immortal sects and Taoist sects want to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they must rely on the power of the cave.
However, the number of caves that can assist monks in swallowing and breathing has gradually become rare. The caves that are hidden in the sky and solidify the silent fairy spirit are only among the top ten.
The top ten caves are also occupied by various Buddhist sects. There are monks who are united in the sects, making it impossible for outsiders to seize them.
If you want to possess it, you can only attack and destroy it, and engage in an endless battle of monks.
But this is also a bit unreasonable.
Kyushu is so big that just the Taomen of Yong, Yang, and Qing states and the overseas area occupy six caves. The three Buddhist schools in Yan, Yu, and Liang prefectures occupied three more.
What about the remaining three states of Xu, Ji, and Jing?
There is no way that these three states do not have the same level of inheritance in the countless miles of land, right?
…
So how do these inherited sect forces rely on to obtain the fairy energy in the sky? "
After Lu Yuan was overjoyed, he calmed down and did not think about this problem.
Of course, he would not be arrogant enough to think that among the hundreds of millions of people in the entire Nine Provinces and Ten Regions, he was the only one who was special and could avoid the cave sky and obtain the power of the fairy spirits in the sky alone.
Just like the Danding Dao.
Although the other party owns the cave, as the spirit of the immortal spirit continues to deplete, he is still looking for a way out for himself, and has obtained some evil ways like the Taoist Book of Taiping.
Until he can find another way and find a way outside the cave to stir up the fairy spirit in the sky.
It makes no sense that other sects, or forces at the same level, wouldn't have the same methods.
“Perhaps outside the ten caves, the remaining immortal sect forces with inheritance can also find other ways to leverage the spirit of the immortals just like I did with the help of the Tianzhu.
I just don’t know what these methods are.
If I can get it, combined with the Heavenly Pillar of Luck, maybe I can get more quota of fairy spirit in this end-of-days competition for fairy spirit energy.
Take a further step on my path to the end of the world. "
Lu Yuan was looking forward to it in his heart.
The current situation in the world of cultivating immortals in Kyushu is already very clear.
Among the only remaining immortal cultivators today, everyone is trying their best to absorb as much of the immortal energy as possible between heaven and earth and remaining in the sky.
If I absorb one more point, then you will have one less fairy spirit energy to absorb in the future.
This is a different type of elimination. Only the person who has eaten the most fairy spirit can practice to a higher realm and reach the final finals - that is, the realm of ascension.
According to what Lu Yuan had deduced from reading Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures over the years, if he wanted to get the ticket for ascension and enter the Beiming Youdu, which was rumored to communicate with the immortal world, he must at least have the strength to gather energy.
In the known world, Lu Yuan knew that there were only nine people from the six great sects and the three major Buddhist sects who had this strength.
Counting him, there should be ten of them now.
In addition to this, there should be some lucky people like him who can leverage the spirit of the immortals without the help of the cave.
But even counting these lucky ones, there should not be more than twenty of them in total.
"That is to say, among the hundreds of millions of people in the entire Nine Provinces and Ten Regions, there will not be more than twenty people who can achieve my current level. And if they are placed in one state, there will not be more than one palm of such people. .
Just like where I am in Yangzhou, those who can rival me are Taoist Ziyun in Yuzhang County of Ningguo and Taoist Feishuang in Guangling County.
In the entire Yangzhou territory, apart from these two Taoist masters, I should be considered invincible.
Even if I face these two Taoist masters, with my current strength, even though it may be because I am newly promoted to this realm, I am not a match for these two veteran Taoists. But even if you can't defeat it, self-protection shouldn't be a problem.
Even if my martial arts strength is taken into account, it is very possible to tie with them.
…
Well, I have traveled through twenty-four years, and now, I can finally say that I am not afraid of any danger.
What a celebration! Congratulations!
This matter should come to light. "
Lu Yuan laughed. The haze and pressure of survival crisis that had been weighing on him since the time traveled were finally gone with the improvement of his strength.
With his current strength, as long as nothing happens in the Kyushu world, unless he is faced with the siege of several Tao masters, there will be no danger to his life in the world.
With this strength, what is Danding Dao, and what is the current Southwest Yi?
Relying on his own strength, he is enough to deal with all dangers. When Dan Ding Dao comes, just call him directly.
Even the current Southwest Yi...
"Well, with my current strength, I feel it is enough to defeat the two or three of me before. And my previous strength was already comparable to the second level of Xiantian.
Moreover, he is the more senior one in the second realm of Xiantian, capable of defeating three or four masters of the first realm.
There seems to be no such person in the entire Southwest Yi region as a second-level Xiantian master, right?
No, to be on the safe side, among the seven grandmasters from the three major Yi countries in the southwest, there may be one grandmaster at the second level of Xiantian.
But even so, it's nothing. "
Lu Yuan thought about the high-end combat power of the entire Southwest Yi, and gradually discovered something: "In other words, if I am willing, I can directly wipe out the masters of the entire Southwest Yi."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat, and gradually became passionate.
But after his heart beat a few times, Lu Yuan fell silent again and gave up the tempting plan.
Indeed, with his current strength, he can easily defeat all the masters of the Southwest Yi.
But what about after the sweep?
There are almost six counties left in the three major Yi countries in the southwest, which is almost three times the territory of Chu State, with a similar or even slightly larger population. Such a large size cannot be accommodated by Chu State.
And if you can't eat it, then the land will be useless, it will just be endless chaos.
"And I can indeed defeat the grand masters of the Southwest Yi. They have little resistance against me. But being able to defeat them does not mean that I can kill them.
If one or two of the seven masters of the Southwest Yi reacted quickly enough to smell something wrong in advance and run away to hide, one of them would be left out.
So for me and the Chu State, there will be almost endless troubles.
Think about the future, you will always have to face an innate master, and the revenge will last for tens or even hundreds of years...
Tsk, sure enough, even I get a headache.
Although this temptation is great, it also contains a powerful poison. "
At this moment, Lu Yuan could finally understand why the six immortal sects, even though they had such powerful power, still only guarded the foundation around their homes and did not interfere much with the world.
I think Ziyundao and the others must be facing the same dilemma as him.
If we take action by force, there is indeed hope of unifying a large state.
But after unification, how to deal with the revenge of those losers in the big states has become an issue that cannot be ignored.
The Yue Kingdom, which originally dominated Yangzhou, had these two second-level Xiantian realm masters and three or four first-level Xiantian realm masters. In the world of martial arts, there are even comparable innate masters.
…
These dozen innate masters combined are enough to fight against an immortal sect.
Even if these innate masters are scattered all over the world and can be defeated one by one, it is impossible to really compete with the Immortal Sect.
But also because they are scattered, it is impossible for the Immortal Sect to deal with them all at once, there will always be some left out.
And as long as one or two are missed outside, what awaits the Immortal Sect is endless revenge.
With these revenges, the unified world will not be able to stabilize, and will have to endure tens or hundreds of years of turmoil.
Even the Immortal Sect disciples themselves have to bear the risk of being assassinated while traveling outside the Immortal Sect after leaving the Immortal Sect.
"Think about it carefully, unless you are an immortal who practices the path of luck like me.
Otherwise, for a fairy sect like Ziyundao that relies on the existence of the cave sky, running to unify the world and interfere with the secular world is indeed a matter of only trouble and no benefit.
After all, for them, even if they unified the world, it would not be of any help to them in leveraging the spirit of the immortals.
On the contrary, to unify the world, many disciples of the Immortal Sect have to be killed or injured, and they have to work hard to manage it, and they have to face the backlash of those losers.
No matter how you look at it, it's a waste of money.
Instead of doing this, it is better to circle a small piece of territory, guard your own fairy gate, and live a happy life.
Sitting and watching the winds and clouds surging in the world, the clouds rolling and relaxing, I am detached from the outside world, this is the true immortal. "
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but envy Qi Ziyundao and the others.
If this is the case, who would be willing to fight for world hegemony and live such a miserable life?
Anyway, after becoming the master of the Immortal Sect, all kinds of enjoyments will not be any worse than those of the overlord of the world.
I think those emperors of the dynasty would be happy to meet the needs of the immortals if they could use some pleasures in exchange for the immortals not to interfere in their own worldly affairs, right?
But no matter what, the only way he can leverage the spirit of the immortals now is the way of luck and the Three Emperors Tianzhu.
And if you practice this way, you will inevitably strive for hegemony in the world, interfere with the ups and downs of the world, and embark on the path of being an enemy of the world.
Why is there such a big gap between people?
"I traveled through time by myself, how wonderful it would be if I were directly a disciple of the Immortal Sect!"
Lu Yuan sighed twice, then suppressed his disappointment and stopped thinking about it.
