Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

It's like you have a bad friend who jokes with you on weekdays, cheats in exams, stays up late at night to play Grasp of the Undying, and immediately makes a lot of jokes when keywords are triggered. He talks about humanistic feelings even though he is so poor that he has to go to the pawn shop, and can easily come up with turning points in World War II.

It was this extremely unreliable and abstract friend who suddenly appeared on the TV screen one day, wearing glasses and a slicked-back hair, and said in a majestic voice:
"Your salt, my vinegar!"

This is a bit scary.

Lu Anping has this mentality.

What the hell? Did I dream of a world that was distorted and abstract, and that’s why I heard Zhou Li say that he became a heavenly master?

It looks like this world is going to be destroyed too.

Buho!

Lu Anping suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head, and found Zhou Li and Zhuge Qing standing side by side, holding the Yin-Yang jade pendants representing the Heavenly Master.

I! Grass!
This isn't a fucking dream?!
Lu Anping wished that he could faint again and forget this horrible scene. The degree of distortion to him at this moment was no less than the scene when he, as a southerner, was dragged by Zhou Li to a public bathhouse and saw the old scholar who was bathing in the morning like a lotus emerging from the water.

Oh, can I die?

After taking the Tianshi jade pendant, Zhou Li felt a heaviness in his chest, and something seemed to be added to his body involuntarily. He couldn't help but want to comb his hair back like an adult, then raised his hand and shouted to the Chaoshan people to pay attention to the rice and the pot.

Go to bed late!

Hey, am I an official too?

Zhou Li was still a little dazed at this time, even though Zhuge Qing had already sat next to the old Taoist priest and started recording the Taoist priest's duties and tasks, and then he was surprised to find that everyone in Longhu Mountain was very busy except the Taoist priest. Zhou Li sat on the chair and began to think about a question.

If I now promulgate the sect rule that "everyone learns to sing I am a milk dragon", will my master beat me to death? But logically speaking, she can beat me because she is my master, but we are both heavenly masters now, can she still beat me? But she is my master after all, once a teacher, always a father, so can I call her dad to circumvent this? No, if I call her dad, she will beat me more harshly.

What about changing the sect song to Ultra Hero?
It seems like he will get beaten too.

Zhou Li's nervous state of mind was once again filled with old jokes. In fact, he had never thought that he would take over as the Heavenly Master. He had guessed that the old Heavenly Master would let him assist Zhuge Qing, or become a future elder in the sect. But he had never thought that he, a new player who had just joined Longhu Mountain for less than a year, would directly start the custom mode.

Although Zhuge Qing suppressed him.

Therefore, Zhou Li is still a little confused, but he has accepted this reality and is preparing to study the customization options. The only question is, why is this old guy Lu Anping here?
Walking to Lu Anping and poking her as she closed her eyes and tried to forget everything, Zhou Li said in a deep voice: "When you see the Heavenly Master, why don't you bow down!"

“What a quick adaptability.”

Wang Siyu was surprised and asked, "Is this a substitution?"

"How nice."

Zhang Qingwu said with a smile: "It saves me the trouble of teaching him how to do things."

"Master, you don't do anything at all."

Putting away the blank booklet, Zhuge Qing said with a headache: "All matters of Longhu Mountain, big or small, that have anything to do with you are just approval notes, and you only approve notes for Third Uncle. What on earth do you do as a Heavenly Master?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Qingwu suddenly shouted: "I still have to save the world."

What kind of hot-blooded anime for the elderly.

But it’s not wrong.

"As for the duties of a Heavenly Master, I can't really say anything about them now."

Zhang Qingwu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, now that we've finished our meal, let's go. Siyu, you should accompany Sect Master An, show your hospitality as a host, and reminisce about the past. Lao Lin, it's still the same in the future, but you have to help Zhou Li and the others a little. Xiao Sushu, it's okay if you don't like crowds, so you don't have to run into trouble, but Zhou Li and you still have some common ground, so it's not bad to chat with him from time to time."

"Zhou Li, Zhuge Qing, Lu Anping, the three of you stay here. I have some things to tell you. The rest of you, please take a rest in Longhu Mountain and stay for a while. Don't worry, Longhu Mountain will not treat you unfairly."

Obviously, these "you" were referring to Shangguan Hong, Sun Defeng, Baisha and Huang Yiri. These three people were also tactful and knew that the old Taoist priest must have important matters to discuss, so the matter of classmates' reunion was naturally left for later.

As for the other "outsider" An Nuan...

"That's great. I was just worried that I didn't have time to catch up with the old times."

Clapping her hands lightly, An Nuan looked at Wang Siyu, who looked ashen, and said gently, "Let's go to the alchemy room. I want to see how you are doing recently."

"You don't want to see how hot I am, do you?"

Wang Siyu, whose face looked like ashes, was dragged by An Nuan to the alchemy room. In fact, An Nuan was very familiar with Longhu Mountain, even more familiar with the roads of Longhu Mountain than Su Shu, who didn't like to visit other places. After all, in a sense, the relationship between Baicao Sect and Longhu Mountain was like that between Zhou Li and Tang Wan, where they shared the same fate.

Soon, only Zhang Qingwu, Zhou Li, Zhuge Qing and Lu Anping were left in the room. Lu Anping sat there at a loss, choking with sobs as she tried to speak but couldn't.

For Lu Anping, these few days were really too exciting.

"Old Lu, what's going on with you?"

Zhou Li squatted in front of Lu Anping and asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly refresh? Didn't you go traveling around?"

Lu Anping looked at Zhou Li with a dazed look in her eyes. After a long while, she sighed, smiled bitterly, and said self-deprecatingly:

"Yes, traveling around."

The first stop of Lu Anping’s travels.

It is the headquarters of the Dianhuo Church.

"Who knew that the Mad Fire Church would set up its headquarters in a place where fish were sold?"

Shaking his head, Lu Anping sighed, "Anyway, it's boring to talk about the cause and effect. I just wanted to help but found out that I was helping a member of the Crazy Fire Sect. Then I was introduced to the leader of the Crazy Fire Sect. The leader cried out that he was chosen by heaven and died. Then I became the leader."

Zhou Li was confused.

“This is actually what happened.”

Lu Anping also felt somewhat powerless, as if she had seen the old scholar's Panlongju, with a feeling that something had happened but she couldn't accept it. "It's actually hard for me to describe it, but this is the fact. Before the Crazy Fire Sect was destroyed, I really was the leader of the Crazy Fire Sect."

"Ouch me!"

Zhou Li exclaimed: "Come on everyone, Brother Ping is awesome!"

"Then I'll ask first."

Tang Wan sat up suddenly and answered subconsciously: "What's so awesome about it?"

"ah?!!!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Wan'er, why are you here?"

Zhuge Qing was stunned. "I don't know. I just woke up."

Tang Wan looked around blankly, then shuddered and said in horror: "Finished?! I'm not full yet!"

"If you eat any more, you'll die."

Zhou Li was so angry that he laughed, "You're spitting bubbles."

"I can't drink too much Mirinda."

Tang Wan glanced at Zhou Li, then touched his pocket, and froze for a moment. He said sadly, "Where's my food?"

"belch."

Lu Anping burped at an inopportune time, with a smell like pancake.

"Master, why didn't you remind me that Wan'er was here too?"

Zhuge Qing held his forehead. Just after everyone else left, Zhuge Qing set up the Great Universe Formation to prevent the secret from being leaked. If Tang Wan was sent out now, he would have to wait two months before using the Great Universe Formation. By then, the old Taoist priest would not have to explain things to them and would directly send a message in his dream after his death.

"Um····"

This time, even Zhang Qingwu, the former Heavenly Master, was puzzled for a moment. Then he coughed lightly and said helplessly, "It's mainly because Zhou Li and Miss Tang are always together on weekdays, so I'm used to the two of them being bound together."

Zhuge Qing was about to say something, but then she was speechless.

She also subconsciously ignored Tang Wan.

The main thing was that the way she looked resting next to Zhou Li was too reasonable, as if it was just a normal way so there was nothing wrong with it.

Just like that, several people were stuck.

"Listen."

Sighing helplessly, the old Taoist priest said, "You are no longer alone in this matter. According to the practice of Mount Longhu, this secret can only be known after becoming a Taoist priest. Now, all four of you know about it."

"So what's going on?"

Zhou Li was very curious. He didn't understand what secret could make someone like the old Taoist priest so taboo and even use the Great Qiankun Formation.

"Have you ever wondered why there were so many immortals in the past, but now no one has become an immortal for hundreds or even thousands of years?"

Zhang Qingwu asked.

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Hey? Didn't he become an immortal? Didn't they say Liu Bowen became an immortal later?"

“That’s a problem with the record.”

Zhang Qingwu waved his hand and said, "When Liu Bowen died, he did see the road to immortality, and he ascended to the immortal world in front of everyone, but he did not achieve immortality."

"what?"

Zhou Li was confused, "How do you know so much?"

"Because he met me on his way to becoming an immortal. I was the one who cut off his path to becoming an immortal."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"what?"

Lu Anping was stunned. She looked at Zhang Qingwu and asked in disbelief, "Liu Bowen has a kind heart and is very accomplished. Is it possible that he has some moral flaws that prevent him from becoming an immortal?"

"Those who can embark on the path to immortality will not have any flaws in their virtues. Even if they do, they will not become obstacles that prevent them from becoming immortals."

Zhang Qingwu looked at Zhou Li and said, "Liu Bowen has embarked on the path to immortality without any so-called hardships or tests of his inner demons. He only needs to reach the end to ascend to immortality."

"what····"

Zhou Li nodded, then asked, "Is there a problem with the Immortal Path?"

"That's why I need you to help Xiaoqing."

Zhang Qingwu nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke an extremely shocking truth in the calmest tone.

"The end of the immortal road is the ancient god abyss."

Silence, deathly silence.

Zhuge Qing looked at Zhang Qingwu in disbelief, but opened his mouth but said nothing. Lu Anping looked as if her worldview had collapsed, and her expression was broken.

To attain the Tao and become an immortal is the ultimate goal of all cultivators. It can be said that when a person is cultivating immortality, he will forge ahead with determination in order to attain the Tao and become an immortal. Lu Anping is no exception, and Zhuge Qing is no exception.

Even Zhuge Qing, who had everything she wanted, wanted to become an immortal.

Only then did Zhuge Qing understand why the old master did not tell others about this news. In other words, once this news spread, the world of immortal cultivation would usher in a complete collapse. At least 90% of the cultivators would have their hearts broken, their hearts turned into demons, and become fallen strange beings.

even····
Join the "immortal path" of the ancient gods.

Zhuge Qing's body was shaking a little, and she couldn't stand steadily for a while. Fortunately, Zhou Li and Tang Wan supported her on both sides.

Lu Anping collapsed to the ground with a thud.

so, what.

Zhou Li and Tang Wan said:
what can i say
The essence of these two people's cultivation of immortality is not to become immortals, but they come to cultivate immortality because they cannot cultivate spirits. For them, cultivating immortality is not the ultimate goal, but just a means. Therefore, they are not too fanatical about becoming immortals, and their Taoism will not be broken because of this.

It's like some physicists who, upon learning that physics no longer exists, will choose purple veil, because physics is the ultimate goal for them, it is everything to them.

But if you tell a student who is figuring out how to get 60 regular points that physics no longer exists, he can only say that the student can skip the physics exam.

Zhou Li and Tang Wan are the latter.

"Two thousand years ago, in order to completely seal the ancient gods, the pioneers of the Immortal Court sealed all the ancient gods in it at the cost of the entire Immortal Court, so that they could never escape from the desolate and deadly land. Afterwards, the only remaining immortal [Ju] found the first Heavenly Master, entrusted him with the Yin-Yang Jade, and also gave him the mission of sealing the road to immortality."

"Since then, every Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu has had a secret duty - to block the path to immortality, making it impossible for people to attain the Tao and become immortals."

He stretched out his hand and tapped into the void. An indescribable sense of fear spread through everyone's hearts. The old Taoist priest looked at them and said calmly:

"The ancient gods are immortal and can only be sealed. But the seal cannot completely trap the ancient gods. Some ancient gods will spread their weak aura in the human world to tempt some people to become their apostles. Of course, it is not ruled out that some strong-willed people will control this aura in turn. No one can guarantee whether the "control" in their eyes is the will of the ancient gods or their secret disguise. However, these infected beings cannot open the gate to heaven again and remove the seal of those yellow-clothed ancient gods. Therefore, they can only tempt others to become immortals and let those immortals release the ancient gods."

"So, the Heavenly Master is not the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, but the Master of the world. The word "Master" does not mean to be a role model for others, but that one person can be the master of millions. What we need to do is to prevent someone from crossing that line, becoming an immortal, and completely degenerating into a slave of those yellow-robed ancient gods."

"The Heavenly Master is the last and only line of defense of this world." (End of this chapter)
