Yunzhou, among the mountains.
Zhang Yao didn't leave too far. After walking a hundred miles at night, he got into a deep mountain and old forest.
When it was dawn, Zhang Yao climbed to the top of the mountain, sat down cross-legged, and couldn't wait to read the book.
"Reiki, breathing, spiritual roots, immortal cultivators..."
He scanned it word by word, not daring to miss a word, and quickly became immersed in it.
This book reveals to Zhang Yao a new and vast world - the world of immortal cultivators.
Immortal cultivators rely on their own spiritual roots to run mystical arts, breathe out spiritual energy, and refine their magic power. In this way, they can see for a long time and possess various magical powers.
In this tome:
The ancestor of Zhennan Prince's Mansion recorded a book called "Thick Earth Technique" on the cultivation techniques of immortality, and also left many descriptions of his own.
"That's it, that's it..."
After Zhang Yao read his description, he suddenly realized that he had a complete understanding of the world of immortality in Lu.
The State of Lu, or the former Wei Dynasty, was a desert for cultivating immortals.
This place is located in the corner of the "Hundred Kingdoms of the Central Plains", the spiritual energy is very thin, and it is close to the southern border area, the number of immortal cultivators is very rare, only about a dozen.
"With such a small number, compared with the huge territory of the Nineteen States, it is no wonder that he has become a legendary figure."
Zhang Yao was filled with emotions.
The ancestor of the Zhennan Palace calls himself "Lunan" and is the ninth generation descendant of the Houtu Sect.
The Houtu Sect is a miniature immortal cultivating sect, with only two or three people in each generation at most. It has even been a single lineage for a long time. It is said to be a sect, but in fact it is more like a casual cultivator.
The situation in the world of immortal cultivators in the Lu Kingdom can be said to be a shallow one. There is only one small cultivator family, and the rest are scattered cultivators.
About a few decades ago:
An immortal cultivator worshiped by the royal family of the Wei Dynasty died of old age and had no successors. In addition, the royal family and the court were already decayed. Conflicts in the world had accumulated for many years. Once they broke out, it was already difficult to recover, and it entered the final years of the dynasty.
Rebel vassals and martial arts masters from various places divided the entire Wei Dynasty. No one had the power to unify the world, leading to chaos that lasted for decades.
Until a small foreign cultivating family, the "Liu Family", arrived in the Wei Dynasty.
There are only five people in this small cultivating family, an old lady, a couple, and their son and daughter.
The youngest daughter of the Liu family did not even have spiritual roots and could not cultivate immortality, so several people in the family discussed and prepared to find a good home for her so that she could enjoy all the glory and wealth and live happily for the rest of her life.
They picked Yu Wenze and secretly supported him, and this led to the founding emperor.
"Good guy."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but look strange when he saw this:
"After a long time of work, this emperor is still a son-in-law of the immortal family."
The person who chose Yu Wenze was the youngest daughter of the Liu family, who later became the Queen of Lu.
As for the reason why he fell in love with Yu Wenze, in addition to his high talent in martial arts and good skills, it was mainly because of Yu Wenze's outstanding appearance.
In the description left by Lunan, the lines are full of indifference and disdain for mortals, but he focused on describing Yu Wenze, praising him as "the dragon and the phoenix, the watch of the sky."
Immortal cultivators can't help but admire him. It can be seen that when Yu Wenze was young, he was probably unique in appearance among millions of people.
"It turns out that being good looking is a huge advantage."
"This Yu Wenze was poor and had nothing to do. He lived in the village with Zhang Yong and became the founding emperor just by relying on his face."
Zhang Yao laughed secretly in his heart and continued reading.
In the second half of this narrative, after introducing the world of immortal cultivators in the state of Lu, Lu Nan began to describe in detail his connection with the "Liu Family", a cultivating family.
Decades ago:
Because Lunan could not find a successor and there was no hope of progress in his cultivation, he was disheartened and prepared to go north to "defend the country" to serve as a member of the royal family while continuing to search for a successor.
But he didn't expect that before he left, he happened to meet his descendant - the child he left behind after a drunken incident before he cultivated immortality. Even he himself didn't know about it.
The descendants of Lunan lived in a very poor life. After he confirmed his bloodline with the help of magic, he burst into tears and finally chose to stay in the country of Lu to earn a share of the family business for his descendants.
For this reason, he took the initiative to approach the Liu family and put forward his conditions, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
The Liu family readily agreed to him, and Lunan helped Yuwenze dominate the world, secretly killing many masters and high-ranking officials in exchange for the title and fiefdom of King Zhennan.
"Fortunately, I was cautious and didn't go to spy on the camp of King Pingliang's army."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he saw this:
"If we really ran over, I'm afraid the grass on the grave would be three feet high."
At that time, beside Yu Wenze, in addition to the grandmaster who had come to seek refuge, there were also people from the Liu family hidden secretly.
Compared with the monks of the Liu family, Lu Nan has the lowest cultivation level, but even so, killing ordinary masters with preparation is like killing a dog or a chicken.
"It's a pity that future generations will not live up to expectations!"
Zhang Yao saw the end and discovered the sincere teachings left by Lunan.
According to the time in the records, Lunan actually died two years ago. However, the Zhennan Palace kept concealing the news and used the tiger's skin as a banner. It was not until Yu Wenze confirmed it that he took action.
Lunan deliberately changed the technique from jade slips to books, hoping that after future generations spread their branches and leaves, someone would be able to practice "Thick Earth Technique" and inherit his mantle.
According to the thoughts in the account, he must have told the people of Zhennan Palace before his death that they should give up their glory and wealth and pass on the family in anonymity.
It's a pity that they didn't listen to Lunan.
He was born in a mud-legged family, worked as a cow or horse for others, and spent half his life in poverty. Once he became a high-ranking prince, he enjoyed a loving wife, a beautiful family, and prosperity and wealth for decades. Who can say that he should just give up?
Even if King Zhennan is willing to give up, his children may not agree.
"This Zhennan Wang family is finished. Yu Wenze will never let them go."
Zhang Yao took a deep breath, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and read "Thick Earth Jue" carefully from beginning to end several times.
Cultivation of immortal skills requires spiritual roots.
But this thing can only be measured by an immortal cultivator, and he himself doesn't know whether he has the earth-attribute spiritual roots needed for the "Thick Earth Technique".
If not, then it means that the decades of hard work and dormancy have been in vain, and you have to find other ways to cultivate immortality.
"I hope it works!"
Zhang Yao slowly closed his eyes, calmed down, and started practicing for the first time.
According to the method recorded in "Hou Tu Jue", he maintained an ethereal state of mind and tried to capture the underworld "qi".
If you have spiritual roots, you must have a sense of Qi.
Having sensed Qi for a lifetime, you can use your thoughts to guide and absorb the spiritual energy of corresponding attributes, taking the first step of "refining Qi and cultivating immortality".
"Buzz!"
Almost instantly, Zhang Yao's mind became clear, and he noticed a thick and vast artistic conception contained in everything around him.
This is the aura of heaven and earth with earth attributes!
The door to immortality is finally open!
