Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"It seems that the human race's ascending lineage is truly about to rise!"

In the main hall, Elder Gu looked at the back of Master Lei Luo as he left. The figure of Lu Tiandu who had left not long ago flashed through his mind, and he sighed softly.

Ever since Zhenren Cantian established Tianyuan City, the flying spirit platforms of both humans and demons have been concentrated in Tianyuan City. Tianyuan City is the starting point for every cultivator from the lower world to contact the spiritual world.

Although the ascended monks and their descendants have spread to the vast areas of the three realms and seven domains over countless years, and some have established families, some have established sects, and some are still independent cultivators, the roots of the ascended monks are still in Tianyuan City.

There are two main reasons: on the one hand, a steady stream of ascended monks ascended from the lower realms to Tianyuan City and became part of the growing ascending lineage;

On the other hand, as a checkpoint connecting the wilderness, Tianyuan City has a speed at which cultivation resources flow that is unmatched by other cities.

With more resources, one can improve his cultivation faster, which is also the main reason why Tianyuan City attracts many cultivators to settle down.

Although the number of ascended monks cannot be compared with that of local monks, each of them has good potential. Moreover, because the ascended monks are relatively united and the descendants of the ascended monks continue to increase, the power of the ascended lineage is also growing.

During this process, friction is inevitable between the ascending lineage and the local cultivators.

When friction arises between two groups due to interests, in this world where personal power belongs to oneself and high-level monks can decide the fate of low-level monks, the combined monks who are the most powerful on the surface can decide how to resolve conflicts and how to distribute benefits.

There were originally six human elders in Tianyuan City. In the past ten thousand years, only two of them were ascenders: Zen Master Jin Yue and True Man Lei Luo.

Since Zen Master Jin Yue advanced to the fusion stage, he has focused most of his attention on personal cultivation and has not paid much attention to worldly affairs. Therefore, the banner of the ascenders is basically carried by Master Lei Luo.

It is also because of this that, although Master Lei Luo’s cultivation level was not as good as Master Jin Yue’s, he had a better reputation among the ascended monks.

In the original plot, after Master Lei Luo died at the hands of Ziying of the Shadow Clan, the living environment of the ascended monks in Tianyuan City became much worse because there was no support from the fusion elders.

And in this timeline, with the appearance of Lu Tiandu, Master Lei Luo successfully broke through the middle stage of fusion and became the undisputed number three figure in Tianyuan City.

Moreover, Lei Sen, a descendant of the Ascendant, also advanced to the fusion stage and joined the Tianyuan City Elders' Council. Excluding the deceased Qin Ze, the Ascendant lineage unexpectedly occupied three of the six fusion elders of the human race.

Under such circumstances, according to some information that Elder Gu had learned, in recent years the cultivators of the ascended lineage in Tianyuan City had also begun to break the old conventions and seek more rights in various matters.

Although the purpose of the ascenders is to seek more fairness, it is obvious that this fairness must be taken from the mouths of the previous vested interest group - the local monks.

Since coming out of retreat and arriving in Shigu City, many local Void-Refining cultivators have reported such things to Elder Gu.

In this situation, Elder Gu weighed the pros and cons and finally chose to remain silent.

Among them, apart from the fact that the strength of the ascenders cannot be underestimated, the person that Elder Gu fears the most is Lu Tiandu.

Being able to kill a cultivator in the early stage of fusion when he was in the middle stage of refining emptiness was enough to show that Lu Tiandu was extraordinary in terms of magical powers and treasures.

Among them, the news that Lu Tiandu has cultivated the true spirit-level magical power, the Taiyin Divine Thunder, is well known.

As for treasures, hundreds of spiritual treasures have been passed down from Lu Tiandu, many of which are fine products. In this case, no one would believe that Lu Tiandu did not have a few top-level spiritual treasures.

This can be seen from the fact that Lu Tiandu openly searched for information such as the method of refining Tongtian Lingbao and Xuantian's remaining treasures.

Coupled with the various talismans that came out from Lu Tiandu, it is obvious that Lu Tiandu’s strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, Lu Tiandu was elusive on the battlefield that year with his strange teleportation method, and he was able to escape safely despite being chased by several Yaksha Kings. How could other combined cultivators be so arrogant as to trap or even kill Lu Tiandu?
And this is just what Lu Tiandu has shown. No one knows what other cards Lu Tiandu has hidden.

Now Lu Tiandu has advanced to the late stage of refining emptiness, and no one knows how strong his combat power is.

As a result of these things, not only did the combined cultivators of the human and demon races treat Lu Tiandu with courtesy, but even among the combined cultivators of other races, Lu Tiandu had long been treated as a person of the same level by them.

Ever since Lu Tiandu was promoted to the Void Refining Stage, he has basically become another banner for the ascended monks in Tianyuan City. If some ascended monks encounter injustice and come to him for help, Lu Tiandu will publicly support them, and these issues have basically been resolved afterwards.

This situation can be regarded as a disguised way of fighting for the rights and interests of the ascenders.

If Lu Tiandu can advance to the fusion stage within a few hundred years, the strength of the ascender lineage will obviously increase further.

Under such circumstances, Elder Gu would naturally not do anything that would offend others.

After all, Xuan Zhen's reputation as the killer of Lu Tiandu was built on the corpses of many cultivators. No one wanted to fight to the death with Lu Tiandu on the Tianxingtai, not even local elders such as Gu Tailai and Qi Xubing.

Moreover, according to the speculation of Elder Gu and other elders, Qin Ze’s death should have a lot to do with Lu Tian.

After all, according to some investigations, anyone who openly opposed Lu Tian in the battle of Lingdi either paid a heavy price or died in the end.

Qin Ze obviously did not escape this outcome.

In addition, when Lu Tiandu faced Qin Ze, he vaguely mentioned the mysterious Mahayana that destroyed the Shui Yuan Sect, which made Elder Gu terrified.

According to some investigations, Shui Yuanzong's self-inflicted disaster seemed to be related to Lu Tiandu's confidante Min Rou from the Min family.

A great sect with a history of one hundred thousand years was reduced to ruins overnight. Everyone who knew about it was extremely horrified.

And the only one who dared to publicly mention the demise of Shuiyuan Sect was Lu Tiandu.

In addition, Lu Tiandu and the people around him have made rapid progress in their cultivation in recent years, which obviously requires a lot of resources for cultivation. However, the merit points that Lu Tiandu obtained through various tasks are rarely used to exchange for finished pills, but mainly for various raw materials. It is obvious that Lu Tiandu has other resource channels.

It can be seen from the fact that Lu Tiandu continues to sell a large number of god-transforming elixirs to the ascenders that Lu Tiandu is not short of elixirs and other things at all.

In Elder Gu's speculation, the many legacies of Shui Yuan Sect and part of Qin Ze's wealth must have played a significant role.

Moreover, the secret power of Yao Chi Palace has close ties with Lu Tian, ​​and no one knows the depth of this secret power.

Elder Gu couldn't guess whether the Yao Chi Palace was related to this mysterious Mahayana monk, but these two were the existences behind Lu Tiandu that could not be ignored.

In this situation, although Elder Gu did not reveal much of his thoughts after meeting Lu Tiandu this time, he already deeply understood that the rise of the ascenders' lineage was unstoppable.

Previously, with the tacit approval of this great elder, Qin Ze, Qi Xubing and others were biased towards the local cultivators. Obviously, the local cultivators must be restrained in the future, and treating the ascenders fairly is already a general trend... Lu Tian naturally didn't know about Elder Gu's collection of various intelligence about him and his various psychological activities after meeting him this time. He didn't take this slightly silent Elder Gu to heart.

According to the original plot, when the demonic calamity broke out more than a thousand years later, neither Elder Gu nor Zen Master Jin Yue had been able to break through the middle stage of fusion. By that time, he would have probably advanced to the late stage of fusion or even Mahayana, and the intersection between the two sides would only become smaller and smaller.

Inside the cave, Lu Tian naturally had to say goodbye to the four women before going into battle.

Fairy Silver Light and Duanmu Jinhan had both attended the previous gathering, and Lu Tiandu mentioned that Feng Ding represented Holy Island in recruiting people after the gathering.

"Tiandu, you refused?"

Seeing Lu Tiandu's indifferent expression, Duanmu Jinhan couldn't help but say.

As for the three fairies, Silver Light Fairy, Qingli, and Xuanxuan, their expressions were much calmer. After all, they all knew the existence of the true spirit Youluo.

"Joining the Holy Island won't do me much good. On the contrary, I might be restricted in every way. After all, I'm confident that I can advance to the fusion stage within hundreds of years."

Lu Tiandu chuckled, "But this time we have reached some deals with the Holy Island, which means we can get some resources from the Holy Island in disguise!"

"Since you have already made up your mind, Tiandu, I would like to congratulate you in advance on advancing to the fusion stage as soon as possible!"

When Duanmu Jinhan heard that Lu Tiandu was confident that he could advance to the fusion stage within a few hundred years, he seemed to have thought of something. His purple eyes moved as he glanced at the Silver Light Fairy, and his pretty face turned slightly red.

"Speaking of this, I remember that two thousand years ago, the human race also had a female cultivator with extraordinary talent. Although her cultivation speed was not as fast as yours, Tiandu, she was still the best among the human race and her combat power was equally strong. I heard that she joined the Holy Island after advancing to the fusion stage. I wonder what her cultivation level is now..."

Duanmu Jinhan seemed to have remembered something and said, "And this Fairy Rong seems to be of extraordinary origin. She is called the most beautiful woman in the human race by many cultivators!"

"The most beautiful woman in the human race? This makes people curious."

Lu Tiandu was speechless.

In terms of appearance, it is actually difficult to tell who is more beautiful to a certain extent due to different personal aesthetics. Among the cultivators, the one who can be called the most beautiful woman, in addition to her appearance, what is more important is her talent, cultivation, and the power behind her.

Just like Lu Tian is known as the number one prodigy of the human race, in fact, he is only targeting the level of Nascent Soul cultivators. Even though Lu Tian can cross levels and kill early-stage fusion cultivators, he is still nothing in the eyes of some middle- and late-stage fusion cultivators.

This is a world where the strong are respected. Although potential and cross-level fighting skills are very strong, they are still paper tigers in front of absolute strength. For example, Feng Ding calls Lu Tiandu "Little Friend Lu", which actually implies his confidence that he can easily defeat Lu Tiandu.

As for Elder Gu's fear, it was because he guessed the Mahayana cultivator behind Lu Tiandu.

Both of them were cultivators in the middle stage of fusion. Although they were not afraid of Lu Tiandu, they did not have the confidence that they could suppress or even kill Lu Tiandu. Lu Tiandu's secret technique of mysteriously disappearing and instantly teleporting still made them very wary.

"I know a thing or two about this matter. It's reasonable for this Fairy Rong to be called the most beautiful woman in the human race."

For some reason, Fairy Silver Light looked at Lu Tiandu with a half-smile while speaking, "Do you know who her master is?"

Lu Tian shrugged his shoulders, looking as if he was too lazy to guess, but he pricked up his ears and listened.

If this female cultivator, who is considered the most beautiful woman in the human race, is destined to be with him, he naturally wouldn't mind taking her into his harem.

Qingli and Xuanxuan naturally couldn't guess it, and were also a little curious. Duanmu Jinhan seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise:
"Could it be that the rumors are true, and she is really Senior Mo's disciple?"

"Exactly."

Fairy Silver Light nodded, "This Fairy Rong was born into the Li family, which is the top power of the human race. And because of her talent, she was accidentally encountered by Senior Mo in the early stage of refining emptiness and was accepted as a registered disciple. I met her once when I was practicing with my grandfather. She is indeed a stunning beauty with a national beauty and a natural fragrance."

"After she advances to the fusion stage, she will naturally be accepted as a formal disciple by Senior Mo. As a Mahayana cultivator of the human race, Senior Mo has only a few formal disciples under his name. Each of these disciples is a fusion cultivator, and their status in the human race is naturally extraordinary. With all these conditions combined, she is recognized by all cultivators as the most beautiful woman in the human race, and she deserves the title!"

"Although I did not attend the fusion ceremony of Fairy Rong, I heard that many cultivators of the same level attended the ceremony, and many cultivators wanted to form a dual cultivation partner with her, but it seems that nothing came of it. It is also rumored that Fairy Rong advanced to the fusion stage, joined the Holy Island, and then went to the wilderness alone not long after that. There has been no news for two thousand years, and it seems that her whereabouts are unknown..."

"Li Rong? Mo Jianli's disciple?"

Now Lu Tiandu remembered the origin of Fairy Rong.

In the original plot, this woman appeared as a representative of the Holy Island at the ceremony where Han Li advanced to the Mahayana stage to congratulate Han Li on his advancement. It is rumored that she had not appeared for three thousand years, and when she appeared again, she had already reached the middle stage of the fusion stage.

In just over three thousand years, he advanced from the early stage of fusion to the middle stage. This speed of practice is naturally very fast among fusion practitioners. After all, at this level of fusion, without a great opportunity, it would take tens of thousands of years to advance by hard practice alone.

Even so, most of the fusion monks are stuck in the initial stage after a lifetime of hard practice.

"Tiandu, what do you think?"

Just as Lu Tiandu was lost in thought, the Silver Light Fairy looked at him with a smile and said.

"Ok?"

Hearing the question from Fairy Silver Light, Lu Tian reacted and said with a smile:
"You're just the most beautiful woman, everyone is just flattering you. In my heart, you're all the most beautiful."

Hearing Lu Tian say this, the four girls giggled at the same time.

Lu Tiandu looked around at the four girls with a smile and continued:
"As for your cultivation, cousin Yushu and sister Jinhan, you don't have to worry. With my help, it won't be difficult for you to advance to the middle stage of fusion, let alone the late stage of fusion within a thousand years."

"As for you two, Qingli, I can also help you advance to the fusion stage within a thousand years!"

Speaking of which, Qingli had already advanced to the middle stage of Refining Void a few years ago, and his cultivation speed was also extremely amazing.

"Really?"

Duanmu Jinhan's purple eyes sparkled, and his face showed an expression of disbelief.

Even Mo Jianli's disciples had to venture into the wilderness to improve their cultivation faster after they advanced to the fusion stage. Fairy Yin Guang, as Ao Xiao's granddaughter, was also stuck in the early stages of fusion thousands of years after she advanced to the fusion stage. The confidence in Lu Tiandu's words was truly shocking. (End of this chapter)
