I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"Please believers, help each other."

"What Lou Boyang gained here is what I gained?"

“I never thought…there would be such a connection between the believers of the Wish-Seeking Sect!” Wei Tu muttered to himself as he looked at the information written by the ancient demon’s broken arm in the storage space about the information Lou Boyang obtained here.

However, in an instant, he felt relieved.

Only the legendary gods can calculate the secrets of heaven. The Demon Ancestor Jialan uses his "life force" to help the believers obtain the "guidance of heaven's secrets", which naturally consumes a lot of energy in the process.

Since you can copy the harvest of another wish-seeker and take a break, why not do it?

"But this is enough to prove that there is a subtle connection between the remains of Demon Ancestor Jialan..."

Wei Tu took a deep breath and looked at the black compass with a look of fear again.

"Although this thing has no side effects on me. But before I break through the fusion, I will try not to use it if possible."

Wei Tu warned himself.

It was absolutely impossible for him to accept that the "secret of heaven" he had calculated with the help of the "remaining arm of the ancient demon" was known by Lou Boyang by accident.

After all, this can also be considered as indirectly leaking one's own information.

Of course, if it really comes to a life-and-death moment.

For example, right now, we need to escape from the ancient demon world as soon as possible...Wei Tu will not pretend to be pedantic and not use this treasure.

If he succeeds in breaking through the fusion, Wei Tu will naturally reach the "Hidden Life Realm" of the fourth realm of life cultivation. This realm can avoid being targeted by the will of heaven and earth, not to mention avoiding the calculations of the secrets of the law of wishes.

"The location of the space tunnel that will lead me to the spirit world is known. Now, the only thing I lack is the Holy Spirit Stone that will support me in breaking through the half-step fusion. As long as I get this thing... I can leave this place."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered as he looked towards the prosperous Holy Spirit Kingdom below.

In the Earth Spirit Kingdom, he stopped Da Yuanshuang from taking action because he was afraid that something might happen and he would miss the chance to leave.

But now, things are very different.

After he left, he didn't care about the flood in the area.

Unless something unexpected happens, it is unlikely that he will return to this "little spiritual world" again.

"Thank you for your help, Daoist Fellow Dayuan."

Returning to the inn in Fangshi, Wei Tu bowed to Da Yuanshuang.

……

one year later.

From all the major trading houses in the Holy Spirit Country, news of their goods being robbed and their spiritual stores being stolen began to spread.

At the same time, in the Holy Spirit Country, many demon cultivation families and some void-refining ancestors were killed for no reason, and all their accumulations over a thousand years were lost.

This chaos did not attract the attention of the powerful figures of the Holy Spirit Kingdom at the beginning. After all, vendettas and killings happened from time to time in the world of immortal cultivators.

However, as the turmoil lasted longer and longer, more and more monks were involved.

Finally, a prince could not help but investigate.

But to their surprise, no matter how they searched the Holy Spirit Kingdom, they could not find the murderer or the various treasures he had robbed.

"Despicable foreigner."

Soon, some cultivators turned their suspicious eyes to Wei Tu and Da Yuanshuang, who came from the Tuling Kingdom.

In terms of his cultivation level, Da Yuanshuang does have the ability to commit crimes.

However, just as the cultivators were preparing to look for Da Yuan Shuang, they discovered that this woman had disappeared long ago.

Including Wei Tu, who was accompanying this woman, disappeared without a trace at this moment.

The appearance of this scene immediately made the powerful people of the Holy Spirit Nation certain that it was Dayuan Shuang who committed the crime...

But something surprising happened.

After Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang disappeared, the Holy Spirit Kingdom did not return to peace. Instead, looting became more and more serious.

During this period, the cultivators who were killed in counterattack also began to appear in the public eye, but without exception, these cultivators did not match Wei Tu and Da Yuanshuang.

For this reason, the suspicions against Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang were actually cleared in disguise.

same moment.

On a pile of rocks hundreds of miles away from the "Wangxiandu" market, deep in the wild world, Wei Tu also used the [Hun'e Evil Eye] to completely lock a direction.

“Right now!” A green light flashed between Wei Tu’s eyebrows, and he grabbed Da Yuanshuang’s hand. He immediately turned into a stream of light and escaped into a space node in front of him.

This spatial node is extremely small, only the size of a grain of rice.

Fortunately, Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang were not ordinary people, and it was not difficult for them to escape here with the help of magic.

"This space node? Can it really lead us back to the spiritual world?" After entering the void and sensing the endless space tunnel, Da Yuanshuang pursed his thin lips and asked.

Although she had great confidence in Wei Tu's methods, cross-border transmission... the difficulty here was too great for her to help but think too much.

"The classics left by Lou Boyang have already calculated the spatial node of this place. It is the overlapping point of the two planes of the Ancient Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm. Every three months, the spatial tunnel between them will be connected once..."

"However, using this space tunnel for transmission also has strict requirements for cultivators. If the cultivation is too weak, they will be strangled in the space storm... Wei is a sixth-level body cultivator, and fellow Daoist Dayuan is half a step into the fusion stage, so there should be no such worries..."

During the transmission, Wei Tu explained patiently.

……

A few months later, Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang, who had left through the "Wangxiandu" space tunnel, finally returned to the spiritual world exhausted.

And the first moment after landing.

Wei Tu then sensed the space node again, trying to calculate the time it took to connect to the space node of "Wangxiandu" and build a "space tunnel" with it. After all, if he could grasp this key, he would not need to rely on the [Breakstone] in the future to return to the Ancient Demon Realm.

It's just, it's a pity.

At the moment he landed, the spatial node that was so clear just now was now blurred and difficult to find. It was as if some great power prevented him from exploring further.

“Is it an ancient demon from the ancient demon world, or... a cultivator from the spiritual world?” Wei Tu frowned deeply.

"The existence of Holy Spirit Stone mines in the Ancient Demon Realm must have been done by the three major hegemonic clans. They used their great magical powers to prohibit cultivators from going to the Ancient Demon Realm..." Da Yuanshuang said, harboring deep malice towards the three major hegemonic clans.

“Well, with the [Boundary Breaking Stone] here, this space node is not important anymore.” Wei Tu shook his head, suppressed the distracting thoughts, and didn’t care about it anymore.

Soon, something happened that greatly surprised Wei Tu and the others.

They were lucky in this teleportation. They actually "reached home" in one step. They were not teleported to other unfamiliar areas in the spiritual world, but directly returned to the Fenghuo Continent that they were familiar with.

——The core tribes of the human race and the four-armed ape race are all in the Wind and Fire Continent.

"What a pity..." Wei Tu looked at Da Yuanshuang who was saying goodbye to him, and the surprise in his heart was reduced a lot.

Without Dayuanshuang as his thug, the fighting power he can rely on will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

However, for the sake of long-term planning and to avoid becoming enemies, it is not appropriate to mention the three hundred years of "master-servant spiritual contract" that would keep this girl tied to him.

Besides, the human race and the four-armed ape race are now enemies, so it is inappropriate for him to associate with Dayuanshuang.

This factor was also the important reason why Da Yuanshuang immediately said goodbye to him and parted ways after he saw that this place was the Wind and Fire Continent.

"Friend Wei, if you need anything from me, you can go to the Purple Star Pavilion in the Stone Ape Mountain Market to find the shopkeeper Chen Er. He will help you contact me..."

Faint words came out from the blue light transformed from the Great Abyss Frost, and then fell into the wilderness until there was no sound anymore.

"This is our farewell. When we meet again, this girl may have already achieved a breakthrough..."

Wei Tu looked into the distance and thought to himself.

The half-step fusion that masters the "rules and laws" is not the half-step fusion that fails to advance to the fusion. It is only a real half-step away from the fusion realm.

Just take this half step and you will achieve true fusion power!
And this half step is obviously not difficult for Dayuanshuang, who has an extraordinary background and qualifications.

"But I'm not bad either."

“Now, I just need to refine the gains from this trip. It is not a luxury to get a glimpse of the late stage of refining emptiness.” Wei Tu turned his eyes and took a look at the full storage bag on his waist.

Although the number of attacks during the plunder of the Holy Spirit Kingdom was small and the time was short, with the help of Da Yuanshuang, the powerful "half-step fusion", the harvest was remarkable.

Not only the looted Holy Spirit Stones are enough for him to advance to the half-step fusion and master the rules and laws in the future.

Even the elixir that can break through to the late stage of refining emptiness...

It's all ready for him too!

Now, all he had to do was return to the Holy Emperor Domain of the Human Race and practice according to the routine.

The only pity is that.

There was also a lack of spiritual medicines for body refining in the Holy Spirit Country, so even though he had gained a lot, his progress in body refining was still at the level when he broke through to the early stage of the sixth level a hundred years ago...

"Take it one step at a time! In the small spiritual world, there is a lack of spiritual medicines for body refining. But in Dinghai Xianxu, that may not be the case."

Wei Tu played with the Xianxu token he got from the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm and pondered secretly.

In another hundred years, it would be the day that he and Xue Qiongyu had agreed to go to Dinghai Immortal Ruins.

"Dinghai Xianxu" is named as Xianxu, and the resources within it can truly cultivate Mahayana practitioners.

It would not be difficult to find elixirs that could help him to refine his body there.

……

"Weitu came back alive?"

A few months later, when Wei Tu flew back to the Holy Emperor Domain in his true form, some cultivators in Dangyang Mountain who had been keeping a close eye on him immediately learned the news.

For a moment, all the cultivators were shocked.

There was no other reason. In their eyes, Wei Tu was already a dead man who could not be found even by the powerful beings in the Human Ancestor Temple.

Now, after disappearing for nearly a hundred years, he suddenly came back, and one can imagine the shock he brought to them.

and--

What was even more unbelievable to them was...

Wei Tu broke through the "middle stage of refining emptiness"!
You know, at most, it took Wei Tu only two or three hundred years to break through the realm of refining emptiness.

"Another descendant of spirits."

"How could the luck in the human world be so prosperous? First it was Jiang Lingzi, and then it was Wei Tu... Could it be that there is some great opportunity hidden in this place?"

The cultivators were guessing secretly and discussing the matter.

After returning to the "Holy Emperor Domain", Wei Tu immediately returned to the secret realm of the Human Ancestor Temple with the help of the human-shaped Taoist seal.

He took the initiative to send out a letter and meet Jiang Lingzi.

"Hmm...it turns out that he entered the secret realm by mistake. After practicing in the secret realm for a decade, he accidentally returned to the Fenghuo Continent..." The old and experienced Jiang Lingzi was skeptical about the explanation for Wei Tu's disappearance. This was certainly in line with the strange encounters in the world of cultivation, but it was a bit too coincidental.

However, he didn't want to question Wei Tu because of this. After seeing that there was no hidden trick set by the monks on Wei Tu, he nodded and prepared to report the lie told by Wei Tu.

"Thank you, senior."

Wei Tu bowed and thanked him, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

Only Da Yuanshuang, who traveled with him, knew what happened between his leaving Dingyuan Immortal City and returning to the spirit world.

As long as Da Yuanshuang doesn't say anything, his lie will never be exposed.

When they were in Dingyuan Immortal City, although "Zou Yueshan" and "Heisha Elder" of the Ghost Phoenix Clan saw him, they did not know his true appearance or identity, so they naturally had no way to track him down.

The only breakthrough point is the Great Abyss Frost...

As long as the Four-Armed Ape Tribe is not stupid enough to destroy their own city, they will not be able to report the situation of the Great Abyss Frost to the Ghost Phoenix Tribe.

Therefore, he could easily explain away this outrageous "death and disappearance" by using the excuse of a strange encounter.

Of course, this was also fortunate that Jiang Lingzi had an old ties with him, otherwise if it were any other unfamiliar powerful person, he would have been questioned about every detail.

"By the way, do you know what happened to Elder Lan? Do you have a grudge against him?"

Just as Jiang Lingzi was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Elder Lan?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled.

The only disagreement between him and Elder Lan was probably that he deliberately stood this cultivator up and delayed joining the Jingwang Society.

Seeing that Wei Tu looked puzzled, Jiang Lingzi did not keep him in suspense and told him everything that happened when the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl came out of seclusion.

"Although Elder Lan is an old acquaintance of mine, he is just an old acquaintance. I don't have any special relationship with this cultivator... You can speak frankly without any taboos." Jiang Lingzi said again.

Old friends only meant that the two had known each other for a long time. In terms of the depth of the relationship, Elder Lan could naturally not compare with Wei Tu, a "family member" who came from the same lower world.

"Before leaving the Holy Emperor Territory, I once perfunctorily dealt with Elder Lan about joining the Jingwang Society..."

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Tu openly told the "superficial contradiction" between him and Elder Lan.

As for the underlying contradictions...

That is the death of Ye Yazhi from Jingwang Society.

But Wei Tu expected that at this moment, Elder Lan of the Jingwang Society had not discovered any clues and knew that he was the murderer.

After all, Zhuang Changyou, who broke into the "Dragon Trapped Tower" in the turtle's belly, is basically confirmed dead. Under the premise that there is no evidence, unless King Jing captures Xue Qiongyu or he exposes it voluntarily, he will never know the secret in his lifetime.

"The King of Shock Society? It turns out to be this force. I didn't expect that Elder Lan would also join this society."

Hearing this, Jiang Lingzi frowned secretly, and a look of relief appeared on his face. It was obvious that he had long been aware of this dark force deeply rooted within the human race.

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu also said secretly, "As expected."

King Jing would invite him, so there is no reason not to invite Jiang Lingzi, a human prodigy who has only become famous in the last thousand years.

"You should have refused this matter, and you did the right thing. This Jingwang Club... is indeed not suitable for you to join."

After a moment, Jiang Lingzi smiled and expressed his appreciation for Wei Tu.

"I don't know the identities of the five kings of the Jingwang Society, but judging from their hiding their identities, they are probably not important figures..."

"Besides, you ascended from the lower realm and joined the Human Ancestor Hall, which also means you were appreciated by the nobles."

Jiang Lingzi pondered for a moment and mentioned the old story of Wei Tu being appreciated by a nobleman and entering the Temple of Human Ancestors ahead of time.

"Now, you have broken through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage. Although you are still not qualified to meet that noble man, but... since you and King Jing will meet, it would be good to meet him in advance..."

"I will make arrangements for this matter."

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Lingzi said these words again.

However, until he flew away from the cave, Jiang Lingzi did not say the name of the noble man. In front of Wei Tu, he only referred to him as "the noble man".

"A noble person? What noble person? Who is it that even Jiang Lingzi, a great master in the state of integration, dares not mention him?" Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and the names of several people within the human race who had the potential to break through to the Mahayana stage instantly emerged in his mind.

There is no other reason. Only a cultivator who has reached the "peak of fusion" and has the potential to break through to the Mahayana stage is qualified to control a cultivator of the same level who is at the "early stage of fusion"!

And these people, among the huge human race in the spiritual world, there are only a handful of them, and they are very easy to guess.

Half a day later.

Jiang Lingzi sent a talisman to tell Wei Tu the name of the nobleman who appreciated him.

——Duan Jiu.

This name is very common and would not be surprising even among ordinary people, let alone among a group of monks who call each other by various profound Taoist names.

However, in the Holy Emperor Domain, the Thirteen Immortal Realms, and even the Four Continents of the Spirit Realm, this name is known to almost everyone.

He is the eldest disciple of the Mahayana master "Iron Head Tuo" of the human race. He has been promoted to the fusion realm for tens of thousands of years. In the many wars between the human race and the alien races, he has made outstanding achievements. He has experienced the peak moment of the human race and is also experiencing the decline of the human race at this point in time...

Among the human race, when it comes to who has the greatest hope of becoming the second Mahayana cultivator, Duan Jiu deserves the title.

The next day.

Jiang Lingzi took Wei Tu to a cave on the top of the mountain called "Guyun Mountain", the ancestral temple of mankind.

This cave has beautiful scenery and rich spiritual energy, and it is difficult for anyone other than the high-level officials of the Human Ancestral Temple to occupy it.

A moment later, the two met an ordinary-looking man in iron clothes in the cave.

However, after talking for a while, this cultivator seemed to have something urgent to do and left in a hurry without talking much with Wei Tu and Jiang Lingzi.

“From now on, I can be considered to have real support among the high-ranking officials of the human race?” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows secretly, complaining in his heart.

The man in iron armor was none other than Jiang Lingzi's immediate superior - Duan Jiu.

And this "meeting" was his formal visit at the Temple of Human Ancestors, which meant that from then on, he belonged to Duan Jiu's faction.

However, it is quite a pity that Duan Jiu did not promise Wei Tu any benefits or rewards, and did not even say a word of affirmation to Wei Tu. He only encouraged Wei Tu a few words as a "senior of the human race."

"Is it that the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water? Or does this cultivator not want to form a sect, but just want to take care of the younger generation of the human race?"

Wei Tu shook his head, confused.

However, the faction has already been formed, and with Duan Jiu's protection, Wei Tu doesn't need to worry that the top leaders of the Jingwang Society will secretly trip him up from within the human race.

And this, for him, is obviously enough. (End of this chapter)
