Begin the path of immortality from mortals

Chapter 523: What I've Seen in the Spirit World! Embrace Senior Brother Lu!

Tianyuan realm.

Tens of thousands of miles away from Guangling City, rays of light of various colors shot across the sky.

These escaping lights may appear in groups of three or five, or alone. If someone has a strong spiritual sense, he can naturally tell at a glance that the cultivation level of the cultivator in the escaping light is at least the Nascent Soul stage.

Looking at their destination, it was Guangling City, one of the big cities in Tianyuan.

At this moment, a flash of light appeared in an unnamed mountain range, and a green flying boat crossed the sky and also flew towards Guangling City.

On the flying boat, three monks, one old, one middle-aged and one young, seemed to be suppressing some kind of joy.

The old man and the middle-aged man all had the cultivation level of the Spiritualization Stage, and the last pretty girl, who looked young, had the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul Stage. Judging from their clothes and some of the marks on them, they seemed to be from the same family or sect.

At this time, the girl was playing with a spirit beast bracelet on her fair wrist, looking very happy and hesitant to speak.

The middle-aged male cultivator looked at the girl's expression, shook his head and said:
"Qing'er, when we get to Guangling City next time, don't be so obvious, otherwise it will easily cause some unnecessary trouble!"

"Yes, father!"

The girl giggled, stuck out her tongue, and obediently covered the spirit beast bracelet on her wrist with her sleeve.

"After attending the Guangling Pavilion auction this time, Qiyuan, you can take Qing'er on a trip to broaden your horizons. It won't do to just stay at home all the time."

At this time, the old man in green robes told the middle-aged male cultivator Lu Qiyuan, "Don't spread the news that we captured this level 7 earth armor dragon by chance when we return to the sect. When I come back from the wilderness in a few years, we will have an excuse then!"

"Disciple knows."

Lu Qiyuan nodded seriously, and the girl Lu Xueqing beside him also responded obediently.

Although the human and demon races divide their territories into three realms and seven areas, due to certain historical reasons, there are also ethnic groups of the other side in their respective areas.

For example, there are countless low-level monsters in the remote mountains outside the major cities of the three realms of the human race. Every few years, monsters attack mortal cities. This is what mortals call the "beast tide."

According to the agreement between the two parties, the human race can only help the mortals defend the city with middle and low-level monks, and the high-level monks cannot kill the low-level monsters.

On the demon side, there are also many mortal gathering areas in the plains. Demon cultivators are not allowed to plunder and kill humans at will, and these human residential areas are protected.

Every few years, the human cultivators of the third realm would regularly enter the seven realms of the demon race to conduct spiritual root tests on the new generation of mortals. For those with spiritual roots, the entire family would be brought back to the human area to settle down.

As for the demon race in the human area, after they reach the fifth level (Jiedan), there will be special demon cultivators who will cross the border to take them to the land of the seven demons.

Therefore, although there are many low-level monsters in the vast mountainous areas of the three realms of the human race, there are not many monsters with cultivation levels above level five.

Of course, nothing is absolute. After some demons within the three realms have cultivated to level five, they are good at hiding or escaping, so as long as the demons from the seven realms are not discovered, they will naturally stay in the human area to practice.

However, once these small number of monsters reach level seven and awaken their spiritual intelligence, most of them will take the initiative to leave the human area and return to the monster realm through legitimate means.

It was a chance for Lu Qiyuan, his master and his daughter to discover this newly advanced earth-armored dragon.

They were originally tracking down a cave left by an elder of their sect outside the mountain gate, but they didn't expect that after breaking into the cave, they found a ground-armored dragon trapped inside.

Moreover, this earth dragon just advanced to level seven and gained intelligence.

If it were an ordinary level seven monster, if encountered, it would definitely be secretly killed and used as material for refining weapons.

However, this Earth Armored Dragon is different. This monster is not only naturally proficient in earth escape techniques, but also good at finding natural treasures. Its talent is also extremely amazing among the monsters.

If a cultivator could obtain an earth-armored dragon and refine it into his own spiritual beast, the benefits would naturally be self-evident.

Therefore, although there are certain risks, the three of them are still prepared to keep it secret and secretly tame this earth dragon.

Obviously, the spirit beast bracelet on the girl Lu Xueqing's wrist contained the earth ankylosaur that had just been captured.

"If we can't find what Master needs in Guangling Pavilion this time, will Master go to Shigu City?"

After a pause, Lu Qiyuan hesitated for a moment, looked at the old man and spoke again.

“You also know that within one or two hundred years, I will have to go through another minor heavenly tribulation, but I am not sure that I can get through it safely this time… and if I can advance to the Void Refining Stage during this period, then there is naturally no need to say more.”

The old man in green robe looked into the distance with emotion.

After advancing to the Void Refining Stage, one's lifespan can theoretically be 20,000 to 30,000 years. In a sense, this is like stepping into the door to immortality. This is a qualitative change compared to the lifespan of only 2,000 to 3,000 years for Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation cultivators.

However, there are many cultivators who have reached the stage of spiritual enlightenment in the spiritual world, and those who can advance to the stage of virtual enlightenment also need considerable opportunities.

Obviously, although the war between the human, demon and Yaksha tribes is fraught with danger, it also contains amazing opportunities for some cultivators. Among them, the many elixirs for breaking through the barriers opened by Tianyuan City are the most attractive spiritual objects for cultivators in the three realms and seven domains.

"But, I heard that this Stone Drum City is extremely dangerous. It is said that the number of cultivators from the two tribes who died in the battles with the Yaksha tribe over the past thirty years is several times more than that in the previous battles with the Wood tribe and the Shadow tribe..."

Lu Qiyuan frowned.

The girl Lu Xueqing standing by also clenched her fists, with worry flashing in her eyes.

"You don't have to worry too much. I have asked some old friends over the years. The battle in Shigu Plains ten years ago has entered a stalemate stage. There are very few legion battles. They are all scattered battles. This situation is also good news for me. As long as I gain some merits and exchange them for the required elixirs, I will leave the battlefield as soon as possible and return to the sect to retreat and break through..."

Seeing that Lu Qiyuan seemed to want to say something, the old man in green robe waved his hand and looked at the girl Lu Xueqing, "During this period, you must take good care of Qing'er. Qing'er is extremely talented. Now she has the help of this earth-armored dragon. In the future, she will have a great chance to advance to the realm of refining emptiness and revive our Lianshan Sect..."

Just when the old man in green robe wanted to say something, suddenly a roar was heard by the three people.

The old man in green robe stared suddenly at a certain place in the void, his face changed, and he raised his foot and shook it. The shield of the green flying boat under his feet lit up, and the boat shook and suddenly rushed in another direction.

Not long after the flying boat left, somewhere hundreds of feet in the sky away from their original flying position, amidst bursts of low roars, a space crack dozens of feet long suddenly appeared.

Under the astonished gazes of the three people from Lianshan Sect on the flying boat, two flashes of light flew out from the cracks in space. After staggering a few steps, two figures, one in blue and one in white, stopped in the void, quickly swallowed the pills, and became secretly alert.

These two people were Han Li and Dayan Divine Lord, who ascended to the spiritual world with the help of a simplified version of the Anti-Spirit Array.

"How could a cultivator at the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm actually survive from a void rift?"

The old man in green robe swept the aura around Han Li and Dayan Divine Lord with his spiritual sense, looked at the two of them, and was secretly puzzled.

"Three fellow Taoists, can you tell us where we are?"

Han Li and Lord Dayan sensed the rich spiritual energy around them that far exceeded that of the human world. They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. At this time, Lord Dayan bowed slightly, smiled and spoke to the three people from Lianshan Sect on the flying boat in the distance.

Since the two of them entered the space node, they had made many preparations before, and although they had all been used up and also consumed some of their energy, they finally managed to use the temporary passage to pass through the boundary membrane and land in this seemingly safe place.

The only uncertainty now is whether this place is the spiritual world!

"This is the territory of Guangling City. I wonder where you two fellow Taoists are from? I am Huo Zonglin, an elder of Lianshan Sect."

The old man in green robe paused, and the green flying boat stopped not far from Han Li and the other man, looking at them.

When Lord Dayan spoke, he spoke the common language of the human race in the spiritual world, so they naturally did not realize that the two people were actually from the lower world.

"Guangling City? Could it be the Guangling City in Tianyuan Realm?" Han Li remembered the spiritual world information left by Lu Tiandu, which recorded many famous cities in the three realms of the human race, and one of them was called "Guangling City".

"Hey, the aura around you seems to be wrong...Are you not cultivators from the spiritual world?"

At this moment, the green-robed old man named Huo seemed to have noticed something strange about the two of them and said in surprise.

"Haha, to be honest with you three fellow Taoists, the two of us are indeed from the lower realms, but by chance we were drawn into a space crack and unexpectedly came to the spirit world."

After confirming that this was indeed the spirit world, Lord Dayan and Han Li looked at each other, suppressed their excitement, and said, "As for the information about the spirit world, we have had seniors who ascended to heaven in the human world, so we know a little bit..."

"So you are an ascended monk. I have heard that monks from the lower world entered the spirit world by chance. It seems that you have a great chance."

The old man surnamed Huo sighed.

Normally, cultivators from the lower realms need to reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul before they can ascend to the spiritual world, but Han Li and his companions reached the spiritual world at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

The cultivation environment in the spiritual world is far superior to that in the human world. The two of them were able to cultivate to the level of Divine Transformation in the human world. Obviously, both their talents and opportunities should not be underestimated. After reaching the spiritual world, their potential as ascended monks is still huge.

And judging from the tone of the two people, there is actually a senior who has ascended to heaven in Tianyuan City. It is obvious that he has a following.

Next, the old man surnamed Huo will also go to Tianyuan City to join the Qingming Guard, and go to Shigu City to gain merit. He wants to make friends with the two of them.

If nothing unexpected happens, when the two of them arrive in Tianyuan City, as ascended monks they will inevitably join the Qingming Guard.

The war with alien races has lasted for decades now, and the Tianyuan City guards have suffered heavy losses. Han Li and other new Qingming guards will inevitably go to the battlefield.

Sure enough, when Han Li and his companions asked about the information of the road leading to Tianyuan City, the old man surnamed Huo did not hide anything and introduced the latest news of Tianyuan City in recent years.

"What? The war between humans, demons and other alien races has been going on for sixty or seventy years?"

Upon hearing the news that Tianyuan City had been fighting the Wood Tribe, the Shadow Tribe, and the Yaksha Tribe for decades, Han Li and Dayan Divine Lord's faces changed drastically.

They had gone through untold hardships in seclusion and practiced hard in the human world in the hope of sneaking over to the spirit world as soon as possible for the long-cherished path to immortality. However, when they arrived in the spirit world, they were greeted by a racial war that had been going on for decades.

As ascended monks, they have to take the Dust-Mieting Pill, a medicine monopolized by Tianyuan City, in order to quickly eliminate the alien aura in their bodies and souls. Obviously, in this situation, they cannot escape the fate of going to the battlefield.

After all, if they don't take the Dust-Mieting Pill, the two-colored thunder tribulation may come at any time over time, and they have no confidence that they can survive this thunder tribulation safely.

"You two don't have to worry too much. Although this kind of war between alien races usually lasts for hundreds of years, the peak of the war has passed and the intensity of the battle has decreased a lot. Now, many cultivators from the three realms and seven regions have entered the battlefield under the mobilization of the three emperors and seven demon kings..."

The old man surnamed Huo saw that the two men looked unhappy, and he was very understanding and began to explain.

After all, a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm is not much stronger than cannon fodder on such a battlefield.

However, as ascended monks, their magical powers should be much stronger than the spiritual world's divine monks of the same level, so the possibility of their survival is very high.

"And if you two have ascended elders, then joining them will increase your chances of survival..."

The old man surnamed Huo introduced the level classification of the Heavenly Guards and indirectly inquired about Han Li and the other man's connections in Tianyuan City.

"That's what Fellow Daoist Huo said."

The Great Evolution God, who was dressed as a middle-aged man in his thirties, nodded and said, "It is rumored that our senior master had already reached the level of refining emptiness many years ago, and was also slightly famous among the Jinting Guards. However, after all, it is difficult for the spirit world and the lower world to communicate, and they have not been in contact for many years. The specific situation will be discussed in Tianyuan City..."

"Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me some of the big news in Tianyuan City in recent years?"

Since Lord Dayan and Han Li were able to successfully smuggle into the spirit world, then Xiang Zhili and Old Monster Feng who had smuggled before them must have also successfully arrived in the spirit world.

As for Lu Tiandu, although he did not go through the Xiaoji Palace space node like them, the two knew that with Lu Tiandu's mystery, he must have arrived in the spiritual world earlier than them.

As the best in the human world, as long as the three of them arrived in Tianyuan City, according to the two people's guess, they would sooner or later become famous, especially Lu Tiandu. Even in Tianyuan City where there are many high-level cultivators, he will surely be able to stand out.

"Big news? The person who has received the most attention in the three realms and seven regions of the human and demon races in recent years is naturally Senior Lu, the number one prodigy of our human race!"

Before the old man surnamed Huo could say anything, Lu Xueqing, who had been quietly observing Han Li and Dayan Shenjun, the two ascended monks, suddenly spoke with an expression of admiration:

"Senior Lu is the top leader of Tianyuan City. He killed the Yaksha clan's Zhuo Xuan Wang, an early stage fusion cultivator, with his mid-stage refining void cultivation. His fame spread among several clans. Is this big news?"

"What? A mid-level refining master kills an early-level fusion master? How is this possible?"

Lord Dayan and Han Li looked at the little girl in the late Nascent Soul stage with an expression of disbelief.

Although they were still Spirit Transformation cultivators, they also knew that the more advanced their practice became, the more difficult it would be to fight across different realms, let alone kill an early Fusion cultivator with the cultivation level of a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator?

"Humph! I knew you wouldn't believe it!"

Seeing the two people's looks of disbelief, Lu Xueqing curled her lips.

Ever since Lu Tiandu first arrived in Tianyuan City and killed several void-refining cultivators with the Xuanzhen Sword and faced Qin Ze, a fusion cultivator, the name of the Xuanzhen Killing Sword spread throughout the three realms and seven domains.

After his notoriety of killing a combined cultivator in a battle and slaughtering countless cultivators of the Wood Clan spread a few years ago, he became an idol for countless young cultivators of both the human and demon races.

Obviously, Lu Xueqing also seems to be a fan of Lu Tiandu.

"My daughter's words are true. This matter is indeed true. Even the Yaksha tribe has confirmed the news of King Zhuo Xuan's death. The elders of the Tianyuan City Elder Council cannot possibly lie about this matter."

Lu Qiyuan, who had been silent, spoke up at this time, "And what the two fellow Taoists don't know is that Senior Lu was able to kill a cultivator in the late stage of the Refined Void Realm when he just advanced to the Refined Void Realm. His combat power was so strong that he was called the best among cultivators under the Fusion Realm. This was recognized by True Man Lei Luo and other Fusion Realm cultivators..."

Lu Qiyuan briefly talked about some of Lu Tiandu’s battle achievements.

“Speaking of which, Senior Lu is also an ascended cultivator like you! However, Senior Lu advanced to the Void Refining Realm just after ascending to the Spirit World more than 140 years ago, which caused quite a stir! After that, he advanced to the middle stage of Void Refining in just a hundred years, and was known as the fastest Void Refining cultivator in tens of thousands of years…”

Han Li and Dayan Divine Lord looked at each other as they listened, both of them seemed to find something strange.

At this time Han Li asked:

"I wonder what is the full name of this Senior Lu?"

"Lu Tiandu!"

After hearing Lu Qiyuan mention Lu Tiandu's name, Han Li and the other man looked at each other. Although their expressions did not change, they both took a breath at the same time:

"It really is Senior Brother Lu!"

"I didn't expect that Brother Lu actually ascended to heaven more than a hundred years earlier than us, and now he has become someone we need to look up to. It seems that we do have someone to rely on. Haha, next we can go to Tianyuan City to seek refuge with Brother Lu! With this supporter, we don't have to worry about anything!"

Lord Dayan spoke to Han Li with a tone full of emotion.

"Hehe, that makes sense. With Senior Brother Lu protecting us, we are not afraid of being sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder!"

Han Li also looked like he agreed greatly.

Speaking of which, in their human world, there are people like Lu Tiandu who have ascended ahead of time. Although the two of them have just ascended, they are not rootless.
