Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Ten thousand years of loyalty?"

Hearing this, Ming Luo inside the sealed door seemed a little hesitant.

"What? You don't agree?"

Lu Tian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

If a Xuantian treasure of astonishing power were placed in the outside world, even Mahayana cultivators would fight for it. Not to mention swearing allegiance for ten thousand years, even for some Mahayana old monsters with a long lifespan, fifty thousand or a hundred thousand years would be acceptable.

Moreover, releasing Ming Luo later would be considered as saving his life. Could it be that this person is a little too greedy?
"Your conditions are really too easy. I can hardly believe it!"

Saint Ancestor Mingluo said hurriedly.

Although the Luohou crystal core and the other object mentioned by Lu Tiandu before were in her hands, she had been unable to do anything with them in the past 30,000 years. Moreover, Lu Tiandu and his companions were determined to get them, and she also knew that she could not keep these two treasures.

But when she heard that Lu Tiandu only asked her to be loyal for ten thousand years and then would return her magic sword clone, not to mention one of her souls inside it, there was also a priceless Xuantian treasure, whose value would be immeasurable in the outside world, she was surprised that Lu Tiandu didn't seem to take it to heart.

The first reaction of Saint Ancestor Mingluo was that it was too good a bargain for her, which made her a little unbelievable.

If he had any plans for her, she couldn't figure it out. After all, even if she didn't say anything at the moment, she would definitely not be a match for Lu Tiandu and the other two when they came in later.

"So that's what happened. Then you don't have to worry. I didn't lie to you. I will have ascended to the True Immortal Realm within ten thousand years. By then, the ten thousand year agreement will naturally be lifted."

Lu Tiandu said calmly.

"What? Daoist friend is confident that he can ascend to heaven within ten thousand years?"

Ming Luo's tone was full of disbelief.

"You'll know then."

Lu Tian didn't explain much.

"In that case, I will swear an oath when you two Taoist friends come in later!"

Seeing that Lu Tiandu didn't say much, Ming Luo was a little confused, but he didn't ask more questions.

Then he talked about the things on the sealed door.

The outside of this door is sealed by the Demonic Blade Mingluo with the help of the Law of Slaughter, while the inside is sealed by her with the power of the Devouring Law that she has comprehended over the past 30,000 years.

She can take back the power of the devouring law inside, but the seal of the killing law outside needs to be broken by Lu Tiandu and the others.

At this moment, not only has her cultivation not yet recovered, she also does not have many valuables on her, and her cultivation of the laws is not as good as the killing laws within the Demon Dragon Blade that naturally contains the power of the laws. Therefore, the seal of this door is not something she can break in a short time.

Lu Tian didn't say much. He waited for Ming Luo to lift the seal of the law. The black copper nails on the black door gradually dissipated. After letting Ming Luo move away, he looked at You Luo beside him.

You Luo nodded, and suddenly a foot-long emerald green wooden sword appeared in her hand. She shook her wrist lightly, and with a "swish", a bright sword light several feet long and covered with emerald green runes slashed towards the black gate.

As the emerald green sword light approached the dark blue gate, the densely packed red copper nails the size of bowls on the gate suddenly lit up, a blood-red light instantly emerged, and in the blink of an eye, the densely packed blood-red silk threads turned into a blood-red fishing net.

An astonishing murderous aura emanated from the blood net.

"Rumble..."

The emerald green sword light and the blood-red net collided with each other, and endless explosions sounded. The next moment, the blood-red net gradually dimmed. As the blood-red copper nails burst one by one, with a muffled groan, the black stone door was covered with spider-web-like cracks.

Lu Tiandu flicked his sleeves, and the several-meter-high black stone door collapsed. Behind the stone door, there was no cave like a hall, but a slowly rotating black vortex.

"You two, please come in!"

Within the whirlpool, Ming Luo's voice sounded again.

"go!"

Youluo gently pulled Lu Tiandu, took a step forward, and the two of them were instantly immersed in the black vortex.

"Hey, this is actually... another spiritual space in Luohou's body?"

Inside the vortex, it was not a space filled with real demonic energy as Lu Tiandu had guessed before. It was just the opposite of the dark space where the Styx was located. It was a spiritual space that was no different from the normal space outside.

What made Lu Tian a little strange was that the space here was too small compared to the Netherworld, probably less than 100,000 miles.

This place looks beautiful with green mountains and clear waters and dense forests, but Lu Tian found at a glance that the spiritual energy here seems a little thin, and there seems to be no living creatures.

"Something is wrong with this space, it seems to be slowly collapsing."

At this time, You Luo beside Lu Tiandu said thoughtfully, "As for what we are looking for, it seems to be not far away."

As he spoke, You Luo looked towards the highest peak in the middle of the place, which was several thousand feet high. On a rock at the top of the peak, a woman in a black robe was looking up in their direction.

She is tall, with fair and delicate skin. Her curvy figure is wrapped in a black palace dress. Her black hair is casually draped behind her head. She stands with her hands behind her back, and her robe sways slightly in the breeze, giving her a somewhat free and easy feeling.

On the slightly cold jade-like face, a pair of dark crystal eyes seem to be bottomless, making people unforgettable at first sight.

As he spoke, Youluo pulled Lu Tiandu again, and a ball of silver light flashed and disappeared. In an instant, it crossed tens of thousands of miles and appeared on the top of the mountain not far from Mingluo.

"What an amazing spatial shifting ability! It seems that Fellow Daoist You's cultivation in the way of space is beyond my expectations!"

Looking at the two people who appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye, Ming Luo's eyes shrank slightly, and then returned to normal. She looked at the two people and exclaimed with a smile.

"Hasn't Fellow Daoist Mingluo already guessed something?"

Lu Tiandu said meaningfully, "I am a little curious whether you are a descendant of Nightmare Dragon or whether you have the true blood of Nightmare Dragon?"

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Lu is also quite extraordinary. Could it be that he is from a human race True Spirit family? Moreover, the True Blood in Fellow Daoist's body is not only extremely pure, but it seems that his physical body is also surprisingly strong!"

Ming Luo smiled faintly and asked tentatively, "So, Daoist You is carrying the true blood of the True Spirit Luohou?"

From the space magic that Youluo used to seal her Demon Dragon Blade clone to the void-moving magic that Youluo easily performed at this moment, plus the induction of the adult true spirits and true blood in the bodies of the three people, it can only be explained by the Luohou bloodline that is proficient in space magic.

In addition, Lu Tiandu and the other person asked for the Luohou Crystal Core right from the start, and it was obvious that they were very sure that there was a Luohou Crystal Core here.

She guessed that it was most likely some kind of innate sensitivity from Youluo, who inherited the bloodline of the true spirit Luohu.

"As for me, I only inherited some of the 'Zhulong' bloodline from the Demonic Dragon Clan, but I have not been able to awaken the true Nightmare Dragon bloodline! Moreover, I did not expect that fellow Daoist actually knew the name of 'Nightmare Dragon'. After all, few people in the outside world know the name of 'Nightmare Dragon', the ancestor of the Demonic Dragon!"

While Ming Luo was speaking, he asked about the doubts in his mind.

If the name of the Nightmare Dragon was not some inherited information in her blood, even she, the descendant of the Candle Dragon, would not know it. She did not expect that Lu Tiandu, a human being, actually knew this secret?
As for Lu Tiandu, he thought that she had inherited the true blood of the Nightmare Dragon as soon as they met. He was obviously thinking of the Nightmare Dragon statue in the hall in the Demon Mountain.

"I also heard about the Nightmare Dragon from others. The Nightmare Dragon was born from the three origins of evil spirit, devouring and killing. I wonder which origin talent the Candle Dragon Clan inherited?"

Lu Tiandu continued to ask.

He remembered that in the original plot, the logo of the "Zhulong Dao" where Han Li had stayed when he first came to the fairyland seemed to be somewhat similar to the Nightmare Dragon statue he had seen before, except that the Zhulong had only one dragon head, and the wings were the same.

At this moment, when hearing Ming Luo talking about the Nightmare Dragon bloodline, in addition to the Evil Dragon clan from the ancient times in the Spirit Realm that he knew, there was also the Candle Dragon clan. He secretly wondered if the ancestor of the Candle Dragon Dao in the True Immortal Realm had some relationship with the True Spirit Candle Dragon clan?

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu really knows a lot about the Ancestor of Nightmare Dragon!"

After hearing this, Ming Luo looked at Lu Tiandu deeply, and then continued:
"We, the Zhulong clan, inherited the talent related to the law of 'devouring' from our ancestor. The Demon Dragon clan has two other branches. The Evil Dragon clan once left a great reputation in the spirit world. They inherited the talent related to the law of 'evil spirit'. The last clan is called 'Nether Dragon', and they inherited the talent related to the law of 'killing'..."

"I see."

Lu Tian nodded. "So the other kind of law power on the sealed door just now is the power of the Devouring Law that Daoyou has comprehended? What kind of cultivation did Daoyou have before that he could comprehend his own law power?"

When a cultivator advances to the next stage, he condenses his vital energy and combines it with his soul and body, so he can fully mobilize the vital energy of heaven and earth to turn it into attacks.

The source of the power of heaven and earth is the power of laws. Only after a cultivator advances to the Mahayana stage can he borrow the power of laws from heaven and earth and use it as a means of attack.

Normally speaking, this kind of attack method of a Mahayana cultivator who borrows the power of the laws of heaven and earth is nothing. As long as the cultivator is not a newly advanced Mahayana cultivator, basically he or she will have this method.

Although the power of the law that a Mahayana cultivator can use is extremely limited, even so, even a Mahayana cultivator in the early stage is not afraid of the siege of three or five late-stage fusion cultivators. The main reason is that the power of the law they can drive is amazing. Compared with the attack methods transformed from the vitality of heaven and earth or the true essence in the cultivator's body, the power of the law can be said to have undergone a qualitative change.

The only treasures directly related to the spiritual world and its laws are the Xuantian treasures, including the Xuantian remnants.

The Xuantian treasure naturally contains the power of the laws. With the help of such treasures, Mahayana cultivators can directly drive the power of the laws within them. It is naturally much stronger than the little power of the laws borrowed from the heaven and earth. This is why the Xuantian treasure is so important and rare among Mahayana cultivators.

Of course, whether it is borrowing the power of the laws of heaven and earth or driving the power of the laws in the Xuantian treasure, it is actually borrowing external force. However, the Mahayana cultivators can cultivate the power of the laws by themselves, which is very different.

Once a cultivator is able to cultivate his own unique power of laws, it can be said that he has directly distanced himself from other cultivators.

According to the various high-level cultivation knowledge that Lu Tiandu understood, cultivators who can cultivate the power of laws in the Mahayana period are basically the chosen ones of heaven and have the qualifications to ascend to heaven in the normal world!

Moreover, after ascending to heaven, they all become people with outstanding talents.

After all, not to mention the existence of true spirits that were born from the origin of heaven and earth, except for a small number of cultivators with outstanding talents and amazing opportunities, most cultivators can only cultivate the power of their own laws after becoming true immortals.

Therefore, knowing that Ming Luo was not a true spirit but could cultivate the power of laws, Lu Tian became very interested.

"I was at the peak of the middle stage of the Mahayana before. As for why I was able to cultivate the power of laws related to my innate magical powers, you two will know when you see a certain treasure later. In fact, it has only been less than a thousand years since I was able to cultivate the power of laws!"

Ming Luo did not hide anything and said directly, "The Luohou crystal core that you two fellow Taoists are looking for is also there. As for whether the seal outside the crystal core can be opened, it depends on the magical powers of the two fellow Taoists!"

"No matter what, it is worth congratulating you that you have cultivated the power of the law!"

Lu Tiandu sighed and continued:
"So this Luohou crystal core is in a sealed state?"

"That's right. If it weren't for the power of the spatial law on it, I might have refined it and restored my cultivation!"

Ming Luo looked unusually frank.

"It seems that fellow Daoist does not have enough opportunities!"

Hearing this, Lu Tian laughed out loud. Before this, Youluo had already conveyed to him in his mind that Mingluo was now at the peak of the early Mahayana stage. If he had the help of an adult true spirit crystal core, it would be very easy for him to recover to his former peak level of cultivation.

"What I haven't said just now is that although I have refined several kinds of true blood in my body, Youluo is not the refined Luohou true blood. She is a natural true spirit!"

"what?"

Ming Luo suddenly looked at You Luo, his face changed, he seemed very surprised, and looked at the two of them again.

A rare adult true spirit with space attributes and a human fusion monk are together, and it seems that this human monk is in a dominant position. What kind of strange combination is this?
It is true that this human race fusion cultivator has some extraordinary qualities, but this is too unbelievable!
But no matter how she looked at Youluo, there was no change on Youluo's face, which made her a little disappointed.

"No wonder this Daoist Fellow Lu claims that he will ascend to the Immortal Realm within ten thousand years. When the time comes, he will be taken directly to the Immortal Realm by Daoist Fellow You. Wouldn't that be easy and comfortable?"

Ming Luo's mind turned, and he muttered to himself, "In this case, if I can establish a good relationship with this fellow Daoist Lu, can't I also hitchhike directly to the fairyland?"

When he thought of this, Ming Luo's heart began to pound.

She originally had true spirit blood, and what she practiced before was not pure magic. Coming to the fairyland did not affect her practice. She was not like other cultivators from the demon world who had to change their techniques after ascending to the fairyland.

Of course, compared to the effort spent on changing one's cultivation method, no cultivator would be able to refuse the opportunity to ascend to the higher realms in one step.

"Okay, don't be surprised, take us to see the purpose of our trip!"

Lu Tiandu looked at Ming Luo's strange expression and chuckled.

There were no buildings on the highest peak. Soon, led by Ming Luo, the three entered a winding cave with extremely rich spiritual energy.

As they walked, Ming Luo introduced how she accidentally discovered the strangeness of this place.

Probably not long after he broke through the boundary and came to the land of the Styx, he happened to be looking for materials underground to restore his cultivation. Because he dived too deep into the earth veins, he discovered that there was another world inside the vortex.

As for the origin of this world being extracted and its scope becoming smaller and smaller, it is related to the natural formation in the cave that protects Luohou's crystal core.

"What's going on with the power of the law of reincarnation here?"

Lu Tiandu also asked about another question that he and Youluo had been concerned about.

It is now confirmed that this place is the space inside Luohu's body, and the laws practiced by Mingluo and the Demon Sword clone have nothing to do with the law of reincarnation, so the power of the law of reincarnation that appears is a bit strange.

Lu Tiandu was also a little confused about what the gift from Gu or Jin was.

And according to Youluo, the further you go inside the cave, the more obvious the power of the law of reincarnation emanating from it becomes.

"I didn't expect you to have discovered that the source of this law of power is the treasure I just mentioned. You will know it when you see it."

Ming Luo explained.

"Could it be a treasure related to the law of reincarnation?"

Lu Tiandu thought of Youluo beside him and the eight-winged cicada that he was going to train later, and this thought flashed through his mind.

The spiritual energy in this cave was extremely amazing, almost ten times that of the outside. After the three of them walked for a while, they turned a corner and the view in front of them suddenly opened up.

This is a stone cave that is dozens of meters in size. The cave is filled with spiritual energy. Nine natural stone pillars, about ten meters high, stand in the center of the cave, which is extremely conspicuous.

Each stone pillar was covered with light golden runes, emitting charming glow and looking extremely mysterious. Lu Tian recognized at a glance that these runes were all golden seal characters.

Although these stone pillars covered with golden seal characters are eye-catching, what attracts more attention are the two objects surrounded by nine stone pillars and suspended in the center and above them.

"Rahu crystal core!"

After all, Lu Tiandu had seen the Fire Crocodile Crystal Core, so he recognized at a glance the bowl-sized crystal-like object floating in the middle of the natural formation formed by nine stone pillars.

But when he saw clearly the object floating half a meter above the nine stone pillars, feeling the rich power of the laws on it, and then looking at the shape of this object, Lu Tian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"A 'Jade Ring' filled with the power of the Law of Reincarnation? How is this possible?"

This object looked to be about half a foot in size, shimmering with a faint crystal glow. It was somewhat similar to a ring, but its two sides were relatively flat, and there was a gap in the middle of the circle. It was indeed a jade ring-like treasure.

Lu Tiandu's face changed slightly, and he still found it a little unbelievable in his heart.

"Could this be the jade ring that Han Li used to seal his daughter Gan Jiuzhen when he was practicing the law of time?"

For some reason, this thought flashed through Lu Tiandu's mind in an instant.

In the original plot, not long after Gan Jiuzhen was born, a battle for the position of the law of time broke out between Han Li and Gu Huojin (should be the ancient Taoist god). His Taoist partner Gan Rushuang died and Han Li was defeated. As a result, Gu Huojin occupied the position of the Taoist ancestor of time, and Han Li escaped with the help of the Palm of Heaven Bottle to travel through time and space.

Prior to this, Gan Rushuang sealed part of the power of the law of reincarnation that she had cultivated into Gan Jiuzhen's body, and Han Li used the power of the law of time to seal Gan Jiuzhen into a jade ring fairy artifact and carried it with him.

Later, Han Li used the Palm of Heaven Bottle to travel through time and space. During this process, Han Li's time law was exhausted, and not only was the Palm of Heaven Bottle lost, but the jade ring immortal artifact that sealed Gan Jiuzhen was also lost, and Han Li returned to a more distant past.

After that, Han Li's cultivation level declined greatly and he became a mortal. Because the law of time already had the Origin Dao Ancestor, he turned to cultivate the law of reincarnation from the beginning. Now he is the Lord of the Reincarnation Hall with the cultivation level of the peak of Daluo in the Immortal Realm.

According to the original plot, after a long time, the Lord of the Samsara Palace, who was at the peak of the Daluo realm, finally found Gan Jiuzhen's whereabouts and led him back to the fairyland.

Because he was afraid that the Prophet Daozu would sense the relationship between them through Gan Jiuzhen's fate, the Lord of the Samsara Palace never met Gan Jiuzhen and only allowed him to walk in the fairy world as "Jiao San" of the Samsara Palace.

"According to the original plot, the time when the Jade Ring that sealed Gan Jiuzhen fell is almost the same as the time when Han Li was born in this timeline. That is to say, more than a thousand years ago, the Master of the Samsara Hall not only sensed the birth of Han Li in this timeline because of fate, but also discovered the location of Gan Jiuzhen's fall at this time point, and then led him to the fairyland..."

"This is also the reason why in the original plot, after Han Li ascended to the Immortal Realm, he saw Jiao Sanqi was only at the late True Immortal stage. After all, he was about the same age as Han Li, and had only practiced for more than 10,000 years!"

"So, because of my appearance as a variable, Gu Huojin was able to block the divine consciousness of the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation, and the incident that occurred was that the jade ring left in Luohou's space was not discovered by the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation, but was discovered by Gu Huojin first?"

"And it was given to me by Gu Huojin as an opportunity?"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Lu Tian's mind as he looked at the floating jade ring, feeling it seemed a bit strange for some reason.

"So the power of the law of time outside the jade ring dissipated, which allowed the power of the law of reincarnation inside to leak out. And there is a little girl or baby named Gan Jiuzhen inside?"
