I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

“Please explain clearly to me, senior.” Wei Tu was delighted and bowed quickly to ask.

Jiang Lingzi did not keep the person in suspense. After nodding, he directly talked about the method of obtaining merits from the Temple of Human Ancestors.

"You two traveled south from Molin Immortal City, and I think you passed by the Bloodstone Immortal Realm and saw the Bloodstone Immortal Realm preparing its troops... It's pretty much what you guessed. The human race is about to start a small-scale war with the alien races."

"There are more than ten of these alien races, most of which are relatives of the Wugui clan. The most powerful one is the Xueying clan, which previously had a good relationship with our human race. The daughter of the clan leader of this clan just recently signed a marriage contract with Pei Hong and is Pei Hong's fiancée..."

"According to our senior leaders' guess, the Snow Infant Clan's move is probably to help the Fog Ghost Clan as a vanguard and test the foundation of our human race."

"The Mahayana of the Fog Ghost Clan is holding back the Mahayana of our clan. The outcome of this war will be determined more by the two realms of fusion and refining emptiness."

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded secretly.

Several hundred years ago, the war between the two races in the human world was actually the "aftermath" of the confrontation between the two major races, the human race in the spiritual world and the fog ghost race.

It is also a declaration of war by the Fog Ghost Clan against the human race!
However, declaring war is one thing but declaring war - when it comes to a matter involving the life and death of two races, no matter who it is, no one will reveal all their chips and trump cards at the beginning.

Therefore, as time goes by, the Mist Ghost Clan has only used other alien races as "agents" to continue to provoke the human race in the spiritual world and further spy on the strength of the human race in the spiritual world.

The human race did not mobilize all of their forces, but simply pushed out the ruler of the Bloodstone Fairyland - the "Bloodstone Gate".

Define this war as a marginal conflict in the region.

Therefore, although it may seem like a war between two races, in fact, the intensity of this war will only be controlled at the level of integration.

Of course.

The Lianxu cultivators became the backbone of this war.

"It's just... why did Pei Hong get engaged to a female cultivator from the Snow Infant Clan?" Wei Tu complained in his heart. According to his understanding, Pei Hong's biological mother was from the Four-Armed Ape Clan, which was one of the top three Ten Spirit Clans. There was no reason for her to "choose" a Taoist partner.

"Could it be that the injuries Pei Hong suffered in the human world have not yet recovered, and his potential has been greatly reduced..." His eyes flickered, and he judged Pei Hong's current condition from this brief information.

This judgment was also confirmed by Jiang Lingzi.

After looking at Wei Tu with admiration, he continued:
"However... at present, there are still small-scale conflicts on the border of Bloodstone Fairyland, and it has not developed to the level of war."

"After deciding who will own the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm, the Snow Infant Clan will lead other foreign cultivators to officially start a war with the Bloodstone Sect of the Bloodstone Immortal Realm."

"This 'Stone Cocoon Secret Realm' is of great value. Whether it is the Blood Stone Sect or the Snow Infant Clan, neither of them is willing to destroy this secret realm because of this conflict."

Jiang Lingzi pondered for a moment and said.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu immediately understood that this "Stone Cocoon Secret Realm" was probably the place where he, a Void Refining cultivator, could contribute.

It is similar to the fight between the Shenhuo Temple and the Liuyun Clan for the ownership of the "Fantasy Fairyland"!

But...from what Jiang Lingzi said, it seemed that he wanted to make him the main force.

"Could it be that this time when the Bloodstone Sect and the Snow Infant Clan were fighting for the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm, the realms of the cultivators on both sides were only controlled at the early stage of the Void Refining Realm?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had never revealed his true strength in front of Jiang Lingzi - in his eyes, he should only be an early stage of refining the void who was practicing "dual cultivation of both magic and body". His strength could only give him an advantage at the early stage of refining the void at most, and it would be difficult to go to the next level.

"You guessed it right."

"For this sword fighting competition in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm, both forces only allow cultivators in the early stage of Void Refining to participate. After all, the Snow Infant Clan is also afraid of the true strength of our human race."

Jiang Lingzi said with a disdainful smile.

The words fell.

Wei Tu suddenly understood.

The initial stage of refining emptiness is the starting point of the refining emptiness realm. There will not be any beneficial magical powers or powerful means to bless each other. In this realm, the gap between the refining emptiness cultivators of the Snow Infant Clan, a "weak alien race", and the human race, one of the ten spiritual races, will be infinitely narrowed.

If there is another talented person in the clan, the chance of winning will increase significantly.

This was also the reason why Jiang Lingzi favored him in this battle when he was in the early stage of refining emptiness.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I am willing to go to the Blood Stone Fairyland and fight for our human race." After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu agreed.

Go to the Bloodstone Immortal Realm and fight on behalf of the Bloodstone Sect...

In addition to the benefits of gaining merit from the Human Ancestor Temple, he could also glimpse certain dangers from here.

——After becoming famous, there is the danger of being hated and assassinated by foreign races.

But the situation now is different from that in the Divine Fire Immortal Realm.

He has officially "joined" the army of Jiang Lingzi, the ascended senior.

With the protection of the high-level human leaders in the spiritual world!
As long as he doesn't commit suicide on his own initiative and stays in the human area, this danger is basically negligible.

In a word.

He doesn't want to become famous or make achievements, but he wants the human elders to see his efforts and give him resources to support him. No matter how stupid he is, he will never think that this daydream will come true.

"Okay, one year later, you will go with me to the Bloodstone Fairyland."

Jiang Lingzi was not surprised by Wei Tu's reply. After nodding slightly, he decided on the next steps.

……

Jiang Lingzi came quickly and left quickly.

After giving Wei Tu and Jincan Xuenu detailed plans for the future as a senior, he left in a hurry.

As for the specific matters of the two joining Dangyang Mountain, he passed it on to a good friend of Dangyang Mountain.

Wei Tu guessed that Jiang Lingzi's hasty departure was probably related to the border war in the Blood Stone Immortal Realm.

Now is a time of turmoil.

Similarly, Jiang Lingzi, who is highly regarded by the Human Ancestor Temple, naturally cannot be idle for too long.

Wei Tu did not know the name of Jiang Lingzi's good friend in Dangyang Mountain. He only knew that he was called "Elder Lan" by the deacons he met along the way.

This cultivator is in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. He is not very old, dressed like a scholar, and speaks in a very polite manner.

When addressing Wei Tu, he also called him fellow Taoist and did not consider himself as an elder.

Under the leadership of Elder Lan.

Wei Tu and Jincan Xue Nu also quickly completed all the procedures to join Dangyang Mountain and officially joined Dangyang Mountain.

However, if they want to completely integrate into Dangyang Mountain and make the cultivators of Dangyang Mountain recognize Wei Tu and Jincan Xuenu as their fellow disciples, there is obviously still a long way to go.

but--

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl seemed to have no intention of socializing in Dangyang Mountain. After getting her own cave, she immediately went into seclusion to practice, looking as if she didn't care about worldly affairs.

Even Wei Tu, this "old friend", rarely visits anymore.

Wei Tu naturally understood that this was the pragmatism of the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

Socializing also requires a foundation of strength. Otherwise, no matter how good the circle is, it will be difficult to fit in no matter how hard you try.

He waited patiently for the day when the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl would break through the Void Refining Realm.

With the merits of the Human Ancestor Temple that she had gained in the human world before, and the care of Jiang Lingzi, the senior who had merged with her, it was not difficult for the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl to break through to the Refining Void Realm...

half year later.

Wei Tu, who was practicing in Dangyang Mountain, also took the opportunity to obtain from Elder Lan a list of the monks from Dangyang Mountain who would be participating in the "Stone Cocoon Secret Realm" sword fighting competition.

There was no one else inside except him.

There are also two cultivators in the early stage of refining emptiness.

One of them was named "Ye Ya", a female cultivator. The portrait on the jade slip made her look like a woman in her thirties, with cinnabar on her eyebrows, dressed in a black dress, and with a hint of murderous aura.

One of them is called "Zhuang Changyou" and looks like an old man - the temperament of this cultivator is very different from Ye Ya's. Just from the jade slip, one can see that he is kind and gentle, just like an elder next door.

"Neither of them should be easy to deal with."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered as he pondered.

Especially for Zhuang Changyou, this cultivation made him even more wary.

Except for the cultivators who practice body cultivation, it is not so easy for the immortal cultivators to change their skin and flesh and regain youth. Zhuang Changyou looks like an old man, and it is obvious that he wasted a lot of his lifespan in a certain realm before he managed to break through.

But the surprising thing is that this cultivator with "mediocre qualifications" was actually chosen by the three mountain sects of Dangyang Mountain to participate in the Sword-Testing Conference in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm!
There is no doubt that this cultivator definitely has some extraordinary qualities that are beyond his knowledge.

The next day.

Wei Tu, who was meditating in the cave, received an invitation from Zhuang Changyou to go to a gathering at the restaurant at the foot of the mountain.

The reason for the gathering was very simple, it was to deepen the friendship between each other. After all, they went to the Blood Stone Fairyland together to participate in the Sword Testing Conference. If they didn't know each other, there would be a problem in subsequent cooperation.

But Wei Tu felt...

It seems that Zhuang Changyou's invitation to him has more to do with Jiang Lingzi behind him.

However, courtesy is always a plus, and he is not so arrogant as to look down on Zhuang Changyou's extraordinary level of refining the void.

Once the banquet time is up.

He calculated the time precisely, flew out of the cave, came to the market outside the gate of Dangyang Mountain, and entered the box booked by Zhuang Changyou.

"Fairy Ye didn't come?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and looked at the box where Zhuang Changyou was alone, feeling puzzled.

The invitation letter clearly stated that Ye Ya would also attend the party.

Zhuang Changyou seemed to have seen through Wei Tu's thoughts. He stood up and said with a wry smile, "Fairy Ye might be in retreat and didn't see the invitation letter I sent, so she missed the time."

After hearing this, Wei Tu stopped nagging about the matter, lifted his robe, sat down, and started socializing with Zhuang Changyou.

We talked for a short while.

The relationship between the two became much closer.

At this time, Wei Tu also learned more information about this cultivator from Zhuang Changyou, such as that he was born in a small sect in the Holy Emperor Domain, and was accepted into Dangyang Mountain because of his good talent. Later, he was almost abandoned by Dangyang Mountain because he failed to break through the Nascent Soul stage...

“If Zhuang had the support of a senior who has achieved the fusion stage like Fellow Daoist Wei, he would not have been looked down upon and suppressed by his fellow disciples when he was in the Nascent Soul Stage, wasting his time…”

"It's the same tonight. Although I have achieved the state of refining emptiness, the road ahead is still long and difficult to move forward..."

Zhuang Changyou said with emotion, the explicit meaning in his words was already very obvious.

"Human Ancestor Hall!"

These three words flashed through Wei Tu's mind, and he realized that even someone as outstanding as Zhuang Changyou would find it difficult to join the Human Ancestor Temple without the recommendation of the sect's elders.

So, this person thought of coming to him and trying his luck.

For a moment, he couldn't help but think, "He is lucky."

But soon, he shook his head again.

The cause and effect relationship is reversed - his luck is not necessarily good. If he had not been helped by the "late bloomer" fate when he was in the human world, which enabled him to quickly break through to the level of transformation, he would have died tragically at the hands of Ji Le Shen Hou and others.

Moreover, if he didn't have the "One-foot Heavenly Infant" and the impressive combat power that defeated the Ghost Shadow Palace cultivators, how could Jiang Lingzi favor him so much? You have to know that this cultivator has refined many of the Great Yan cultivators into human pills!
Crisis, but opportunities...

It was he who seized the opportunity and chance in the midst of danger, which gave him the honor to stand on Dangyang Mountain and receive support from Jiang Lingzi, a senior who had ascended to heaven.

Otherwise, I would have died among piles of bones long ago.

Even without Jiang Lingzi's help, based on his foundation, sooner or later another human elder would look favorably upon him.

Of course, in terms of trust, it is difficult to compare with Jiang Lingzi who comes from the same world.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhuang. If the time is right, I will introduce Senior Jiang Lingzi to you." Wei Tu smiled slightly and said casually.

"Is this true?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Changyou was immediately delighted and quickly expressed his gratitude to Wei Tu for his help.

Half a day later.

The party is over.

Wei Tu returned to the cave in Dangyang Mountain.

When Wei Tu left, Zhuang Changyou, who was still in the box, flickered his eyes a few times and looked deeply at the Dangyang Mountain shrouded in clouds in the distance. His whole face was hidden in the darkness, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

……

The one-year period is coming soon.

Seeing the talisman on his waist flickering and emitting spiritual light, Wei Tu did not hesitate. He immediately raised his hand and stuffed the Blood-Winged Mok that was practicing in the cave into the spirit beast bag. He then left the cave in an instant.

Soon, he saw Jiang Lingzi in the clouds, who looked almost the same as he was a year ago.

Behind Jiang Lingzi, Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou had also arrived early. After seeing him, they showed different expressions.

Ye Ya was slightly interested. She glanced at Wei Tu with her beautiful eyes full of murderous intent and then looked away.

Zhuang Changyou looked very familiar with him, as if Wei Tu was his "friend regardless of age difference".

After Wei Tu landed beside him, he started chatting with him eagerly.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Lingzi couldn't help but look back.

"It seems that you three have known each other for a long time. There is no need for me to introduce you further."

Jiang Lingzi said this lightly, and said nothing more. He flicked his sleeves, wrapped Wei Tu and the other two with his magic power, and immediately turned into a flying rainbow, escaping into an underground space quite far away from Dangyang Mountain.

On the way, Jiang Lingzi deliberately blocked the perception of Wei Tu and the other two, and only released them with his magic power after they entered the underground space.

"Cross-Immortal Realm Teleportation Array..."

Wei Tu opened his eyes wide and looked at the twelve huge teleportation arrays that existed here, feeling quite shocked.

There are several teleportation arrays among these, and their scale is no less than the cross-continental teleportation array in Wanling Fairy City!

And this is only a small part of the human race’s foundation.

“If the Ten Spirit Tribes are like this, then what kind of existence are the three legendary hegemonic tribes…” He was fascinated and once again desired for the higher realm of the immortal way.

This desire is not only for immortality, but also for seeing the greater scenery of the world. (End of this chapter)
