Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 599: Four Realms of Guardianship, Return to the Truth

"Compared to those people in Tianqi City, you, a little Taoist priest, are really too terrifying."

On the banks of the Wei River, the old man's tone was mixed with emotions.

When Zhao Shouyi heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if the other party had ulterior motives.

"When you first entered the Mysterious Realm of Divine Wandering, we already noticed you!"

"In this era when spiritual energy is almost exhausted, achieving the Mysterious Realm of Divine Wandering seems like a dream even to us."

The old man stood aside, his tone somewhat sighing, but the content of his words made Zhao Shouyi suspicious.

This old man mentioned us, which means that when he entered the trance, there was more than one person who noticed him.

"Unfortunately, you are blessed by the destiny of Qingcheng Mountain and the legacy of Li Qingxuan. We cannot touch you, so we borrowed the power of the court and the martial arts world to leave hidden hands on those who attacked us in the first place."

"If you can't subdue your inner mind and your will, and start killing people, you will continue to waste your luck. Unfortunately, you didn't do that, and this plan didn't have the desired effect."

Zhao Shouyi's eyes fluctuated again. There was a plan in the dark. He had planned to settle accounts with those people one by one, but gave up in the end. There was an element of luck in this. At that time, he just felt that there should be such people in this world. Should I say it or not? It was the will of heaven, or he did not change the established destiny too much, so he escaped by luck.

"Later, you set foot in the Return to the True Realm in the East China Sea. At that time, we knew that we could no longer stop your rise."

When the old man said this, his expression became more complicated.

Zhao Shouyi's rise was so fast that they were unable to react. Especially after several major battles in the East China Sea, his realm improved by leaps and bounds.

"After that, you helped the Ghost Immortal Mo Yi to revive the dead, and we knew we couldn't wait any longer."

The old man turned around, his eyes filled with surprise, emotion, and even a hint of fear.

Zhao Shou laughed.

"Does the old man want to keep me?"

"Not to mention that we are both in the Return to the True Realm, so the old man may not have this ability. Besides, I, a Taoist priest, have not done anything that is against the will of heaven, right?"

The old man withdrew his gaze and laughed.

"It's true that I can't stop you by myself, and I'm not your opponent, but..."

Zhao Shouyi swept out his spiritual sense, taking in everything that happened within a hundred miles. His expression changed slightly.

"You three, why don't you show up?"

Before the old man finished speaking, three more people walked out from the void. They were at a very deep realm and their aura was all at the Return to Truth realm. Zhao Shouyi was shocked. When did so many masters at the Return to Truth realm appear in the Central Plains?

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Ye Chengping, the guardian of the Beilixi Border."

The old man stood in the air, his voice deep and his expression solemn.

"Nan Boxi, Bei Li, guard the eastern border!"

"Su Haoran, the guardian of the northern border of Beili!"

"Lv Xinghan, the guardian of the southern border of Beili!" The other three people spoke one after another. Zhao Shou was surprised. He had heard Mo Yi talk about these guardians of Beili, but he didn't expect to meet them so soon.

"What do you want to see me for?"

As Zhao Shouyi looked below, the Tai Chi Bagua diagram lit up and the Yan Tian technique was running secretly. The arrival of these four people was strange, and he wanted to know whether it was a blessing or a curse?

"Young friend, there is no need to try again. During the time you and Fellow Daoist Ye were playing chess, we have set up a large formation in the nearby space to intercept the divine secrets."

Su Haoran spoke. He looked to be in his forties in his white robe, but being able to stand with these old guys, Zhao Shouyi knew that their actual age might be different from what he saw.

"Brother Ye is right. We really can't wait any longer. We have been planning for hundreds of years. Now we have come to the final step. We must not let you ruin things."

Nan Boxi, the guardian of the East Territory, had a complicated tone. It was hard to achieve spiritual travel, and returning to the true self was even more difficult. But they could never have imagined that a young man would be so difficult to deal with. In such a short period of time, he even broke through the Free and Easy Heaven Realm, the Divine Travel Realm, and even reached the Return to the True Self Realm. How could they not be shocked?

After hearing what the other party said, Zhao Shouyi calmed down. He asked curiously, "Four of you, what does your plan have to do with me? If I remember correctly, this should be the first time we meet, right?"

The four of them nodded. They were all old guys who had lived for hundreds of years. They naturally understood what Zhao Shouyi meant. Since this was the first time they met, how could there be any conflicts of interest between them?

If there were no interests involved, they would have no conflict. In this case, there would be no need for several people to come to him with such fanfare.

The Southern Border Guardian Lu Xinghan sighed.

"Of course we understand what you mean, but since you asked, we four old men should explain it to you."

At this point, Lu Xinghan looked at the other four people. Seeing that they all nodded, he continued, "This world has a strong suppression on us returning to the truth. Without the help of external forces, returning to the truth will be a dead end."

One word can cause a thousand waves. Lu Xinghan's words were like a huge rock hitting the lake, causing an uproar.

Zhao Shouyi could feel the suppression of heaven and earth in the state of returning to the truth, but it was the first time he heard that returning to the truth was a dead end.

"You don't believe it, little friend?"

Seeing that Zhao Shouyi's expression did not change, Lu Xinghan could not help but shook his head.

"That's true. You are extremely talented. You have achieved the state of returning to the true self in less than 20 years. How could you have the time to explore the mysteries of the world? However, we have achieved the state of returning to the true self for many years, and we have obtained a cruel truth in our exploration."

At this point, the other three people also looked a little sad.

Several thoughts flashed through Zhao Shouyi's mind, but he didn't say anything. The other party's previous words also made him guess something.

"Return to the truth, return to the truth, travel thousands of miles, return to the truth in one thought. Speaking of returning to the truth, the four of us have been deeply affected by it."

"Breakthroughs in realms often stimulate the potential of the human body, allowing our lifespan to increase naturally. Starting from the Free and Easy Heaven Realm, if one can break through to the Mysterious Divine Wandering Realm, and there are no major accidents during this period, one's lifespan can increase to 150 years. After the Divine Wandering, the same principle applies to the Half-Step Return to the True Realm, but the lifespan will increase even more, to 350 years, before returning to the True Realm."

At this point, several people couldn't help but shook their heads.

Zhao Shouyi didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw the serious expressions on the faces of several people, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Just as you thought, the scenery in Guizhen Realm is a world of its own, but its own little world is incompatible with this world. I'm sure you can guess the consequences."

"That's right, after entering the state of returning to the true self, one's life span does not increase but decreases."
