Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

In fact, Liu Bowen volunteered to die.

Since Zhang Qingwu became a Heavenly Master, the road to immortality that had been continuously reinforced, sealed, and compacted by successive Heavenly Masters has been opened to him. However, the opening of the road to immortality is not to allow him to become an immortal, but to allow him to stand on the road to immortality at any time and let those who are about to become immortals leave.

Or, behead.

In fact, after the Immortal Court era, most of the beings who could become immortals had more or less come into contact with the relics of the ancient gods, or had a close relationship with the ancient gods. Otherwise, under the premise that the way to immortality was sealed by the immortal masters of all generations, almost no one could find the correct way to immortality.

Only those who have personally come into contact with those eerie beings can smell the way to their arms.

Therefore, what Zhang Qingwu had to do was to wait on the road to immortality, waiting for those cultivators who were unknowingly throwing themselves into the arms of the ancient gods and took this path, and then either dissuade them or kill them.

It's often the latter.

Of course, there are also the former. Liu Bowen's divination skills are even stronger than Zhang Qingwu's. He can predict many things that even Longhu Mountain cannot predict, and Zhou Li is one of them. But neither he nor Zhang Qingwu thought that this seemingly "clean" technique was actually a bait left by them. When Zhang Qingwu stood on the road to immortality as usual, but saw his best friend, his heart was also clenched.

But Liu Bowen was even more indifferent than he thought.

He said to Zhang Qingwu, "You have lived for hundreds of years, and I have lived for decades. You know more than me, but I am more perceptive."

The fact that I know about Zhou Li means that I have also vaguely sensed that something is wrong with the road to immortality. But after really embarking on this road, I realized that this road to immortality is even more complicated than I imagined...

Shaky.

There is no turning back on the road to immortality. Once you embark on it, you will either ascend or die.

Liu Bowen chose to die.

He couldn't leave any harm to his old friend, so he died completely. He disintegrated his soul, and took away a broken book as a legacy, directly cutting off the spread of the art of divination from the root.

“This is the duty of the Heavenly Master.”

After a brief pause, Zhang Qingwu smiled, it was hard to tell whether it was a bitter smile or a self-mockery, he just continued:

"In fact, I don't want to live this long. It's just that my existence has taken away too much luck from the world of immortal cultivation, causing all the cultivators who came after me to be unqualified to become Heavenly Masters. They are all a little short of that."

"If you live too long, you will meet many people you know on the road to becoming an immortal, even close friends. After all, the people that the Heavenly Master knows are always the chosen ones. These people are not all like Liu Bowen, who understands my difficulties. They will only regard me as a stumbling block on their road to becoming an immortal, an evil person who blocks their ascension to immortality, and fight with me to death."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Qingwu added: "They fight, and then they die."

Haha, I can see that, otherwise I would be quite scared to see you standing here.

“Is this the truth about ascending to heaven?”

Lu Anping looked at the old Taoist priest with a complicated expression. He only felt the pain of a collapsed belief, a pain he had experienced once before in Beiliang a few years ago. Both made him feel confused, but the former led him to the path of cultivating immortals, but this time, he didn't know where he should go.

Zhuge Qing leaned gently on Zhou Li, letting him support her. The shock of the truth made her cultivation begin to fade away, but when she grabbed Zhou Li's wrist, she began to calm down like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw. She looked at Zhang Qingwu quietly, the confusion in her eyes still tore at her nerves, but she no longer had the feeling that made her fall into the abyss at the beginning.

Zhang Qingwu also looked at her, with relief and "as expected" in his eyes. If it weren't for Zhou Li, she wouldn't be able to bear this.

To become a Heavenly Master, cultivation is actually the least important. When a person receives the Heavenly Master's degree, his cultivation will definitely become the best in the world, even if he was once just an ordinary cultivator. However, the truth seen after receiving the Heavenly Master's degree will destroy the cognition of most cultivators and make them devoured by their inner demons.

Unlike other immortal cultivators who "cultivate both their practice and their mind", Heavenly Masters cultivate their mind but not their practice. This is an eternal rule.

This kind of cognition is not simply "the destruction of three views", but is an intertwining of the truth of the existence of the ancient gods, and is full of danger and madness.

Lu Anping knew all this because he had witnessed everything in that space. If the old Taoist priest hadn't told him, he would not have been able to forget all this. Sooner or later, he would have ascended to the immortal path because of "seeing" it, and become a handful of dry bones on that path.

Zhuge Qingze must know all this, even if there is a possibility of being contaminated or in danger of collapse, Zhang Qingwu still has to tell Zhuge Qing all this because she chose to become a heavenly master, that's all.

Zhou Li and Tang Wan...

Zhang Qingwu has always been suspicious whether the brain circuits of these two things would misunderstand the ancient god as something else to avoid contamination. The former would think that the ancient god can play the spring shadow with ten tentacles and buttocks, and the latter would think that the ancient god is actually such an inconvenient thing, so I will just eat it.

It really is.

Zhou Li had no fear of the ancient god, nor did he show any signs of being infected. All he was thinking about was how many celebrities the old Taoist had used to open their meridians, and whether he could do something different when spinning his top.

For example, pulling people off the path to immortality.

Zhou Li always felt that he was a little different. Besides the fact that he only needed two minutes to go to the toilet, he always had the ability to "pull people away".

What is Tang Wan thinking about?
"Do you think the stool will be dry or watery after eating this ancient god stuff?"

Tang Wan asked in a low voice.

Zhang Qingwu twitched his lips. Obviously, he had heard Tang Wan's little strange words, but he pretended that he had not heard them at all. He looked at Zhuge Qing, the girl he had judged would need another 20 years to accept all this, and admiration appeared in his eyes.

"You held on."

“It’s faster than I thought,” he said.

At this time, Zhuge Qing just leaned gently beside Zhou Li, holding the corner of his clothes, but she did not give all the weight to Zhou Li like she did just now. She looked at Zhang Qingwu, trying to smile, but she was a little powerless and could only explain it with words.

"Master, I..."

She paused for a moment, and the confusion in her words was no longer there. "I am a heavenly master."

"Don't worry."

Zhou Li on the side smiled. He looked at Zhang Qingwu, at the old man with eyes full of approval, and said softly;
"Me too."

Tang Wan looked at Zhou Li, then at Zhuge Qing. After a brief silence, she asked with a strange look:
"Why am I like the mentally retarded daughter in a family of three?" (End of this chapter)
