Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"We congratulate Senior Lu on his advancement to the Mahayana stage. You have a bright future on the path to immortality! For thousands of years, Senior Lu, please help strengthen our human race!"

Amid the noisy exclamations, Elder Gu, Zen Master Jin Yue, Master Lei Luo, Elder Qi, Elder Xing, Lei Sen and seven or eight other human elders became serious and bowed in unison.

On the demon clan side, Elder Bao, Elder Hu, Elder Yan and others all bowed and congratulated.

Immediately afterwards, behind the elders, countless Tianyuan City guards and monks in armor bowed in unison, and the mighty congratulations echoed in all directions and reached the sky!
Four hundred years ago, after Lu Tiandu killed the Black Owl King, a Mahayana cultivator who had cultivated the power of laws, in one battle, he was undoubtedly the strongest man among both the human and demon races.

After all, neither Mo Jianli nor Ao Xiao had an amazing record of killing people of the same level.

And now that Lu Tiandu’s Dharma practice has advanced to the Mahayana stage, his Dharma body is also Mahayana, and his combat power has increased several times.

At this moment, everyone knew that among the seven or eight small tribes in the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent, Lu Tian had surpassed Sang Dacheng of the Yaksha tribe and became the true strongest among several nearby tribes.

The future of both the human and demon races must rely on Lu Tiandu, a promising Mahayana monk!

"No need to be polite, fellow Taoists. As a cultivator of the human race, I will protect our race and help them stand firm in the spiritual world!"

Lu Tiandu's confident and calm tone instantly filled the entire Tianyuan City. He waved his sleeves lightly, and an invisible force gently lifted up hundreds of thousands of cultivators. "As for the demon clan, the two clans are allies. If there is any need, Lu will also help!"

This scene of lifting a heavy object with ease and influencing hundreds of thousands of monks with just a wave of the hand once again shocked all the monks present.

At this moment, Lu Tiandu became increasingly unfathomable in the minds of all the cultivators.

After all, none of them knew that Lu Tiandu was not only proficient in spatial magical powers, but also that these magical powers had undergone a transformation after advancing to the Mahayana stage!
"The one next to me is Madam Xueliu from Ziwei Sea. Daoist Fellow Xueliu has been invited by me to join our human race and become the third Mahayana cultivator of the human race. Fellow Daoists, please come and pay your respects to her!"

At this time, Lu Tiandu smiled slightly and introduced Chu Hui beside him.

As for Ming Luo, he was born in the Demon Realm. As the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm, he has complicated relationships with both the human and demon races, so there is no need for them to meet at this time.

Although they had known from the aura emanating from Chu Hui that she was probably also a Mahayana cultivator, the cultivators in Tianyuan City became excited again after hearing from Lu Tiandu confirm Chu Hui's cultivation level and the news that she would join the human race.

The human race will have three Mahayana monks. This is probably the most powerful moment for the human race in the past 100,000 years.

While Elder Gu and others were coming forward to pay a visit, Lu Tiandu also introduced the combined elders of the human and demon races to Chu Hui one by one.

The term of office of the rotating elders of Tianyuan City is five hundred years. The previous rotating elders were Lei Luo and Duanmu Jinhan, but they had resigned long ago.

According to the time calculation, Qi Xubing and Yan Tao, the rotating elders of the human and demon races, will step down in more than a hundred years.

Fairy Silver Light and Duanmu Jinhan were not seen among the elders of Tianyuan City this time. Lu Tiandu guessed that they were most likely in seclusion in the Kunwu Holy Mountain.

Of course, according to the time calculation, the Yao Chi Palace Grand Auction held once every hundred years in the Holy Emperor City should have just ended not long ago.

Soon, the monks surrounded Lu Tiandu and Chu Hui and came to the main reception hall in the Elder Tower of Tianyuan City.

After the maids brought spiritual fruits, spiritual tea and spiritual wine, everyone started chatting.

"Have you ever heard of 'Hongluo Immortal Wine'? During my travels in the wilderness, I happened to get some Hongluo fruits and brewed a few pots of Hongluo Immortal Wine. I would like to invite you Taoist friends to taste it!"

Lu Tiandu drank a glass of spirit wine, suddenly thought of something, and smiled.

"What? Hongluo Immortal Wine! Could it be the kind of immortal wine that is rumored to exist only in the True Immortal Realm?"

"The main ingredient of this Hongluo Immortal Wine is Hongluo Fruit. It is said that the Hongluo Fruit needs at least a thousand years to grow and ten thousand years to bear fruit. The older the fruit is, the mellower the wine will be. Could it be that there are such immortal fruits in the wilderness today?"

"It is said that the Red Luo Immortal Wine has many magical properties. Even a True Immortal would get drunk after drinking it. Is this true or not?"

"Senior Lu is truly blessed to have obtained this kind of immortal fruit!"

The cultivators who had heard the rumors about the Hongluo Immortal Wine exclaimed and looked at Lu Tiandu with extremely hot eyes.

If the Hongluo Immortal Wine really has all the magical powers as rumored, and they can get a cup of the wine today, they might have some chance to break through their current realm.

"These red Luo fruits used to brew the Red Luo Immortal Wine have all grown for 50,000 to 60,000 years. I cannot guarantee whether they are as magical as the rumors say, but you will know once you taste them!"

Lu Tiandu laughed and touched something. A wine jug made of the fairy vine gourd appeared in his hand. He flicked his hand and more than twenty jade cups lined up in a row.

The next moment, as a slightly sticky red spiritual milk from the wine gourd fell into the jade cup, a rich and refreshing wine aroma filled the hall.

"Such a rich spiritual energy! Such a mellow aroma! It deserves to be called immortal wine!"

As soon as they smelled the intoxicating aroma of wine, the elders of Tianyuan City, the ten commanders and other cultivators in the hall all showed expressions of surprise. They swallowed secretly and stared at Lu Tiandu's movements with burning eyes.

Among them were some wine lovers who were scratching their heads and looking anxious.

A thirty thousand year old elixir could be used to refine an elixir that could increase cultivation levels, and it was enough for a Mahayana cultivator to take.

And they may only have this one chance in their lifetime to drink the immortal wine made from the fifty or sixty thousand year old red Luo fruit.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty jade cups were filled with Hongluo Immortal Wine.

This wine is like amber, with a bright red color like blood and fire, and the red rays are condensed and not dissipated, which looks magnificent.

"Everyone, please!"

Lu Tiandu waved his hand casually, and a cup of spiritual wine appeared in front of the jade table of more than 20 monks in the hall. Then, he personally served a cup to Chu Hui beside him.

Chu Hui smiled gently and took the jade cup.

Seeing this scene, several monks in the hall flashed a thoughtful look.

Apparently, ever since they met Madam Xueliu, the beautiful and charming female Mahayana, they had secretly speculated about the relationship between Lu Tiandu and Madam Xueliu.

At this moment, they became more certain of something.

"Senior Lu, please! Senior Xueliu, please!"

All the cultivators raised their cups of immortal wine and bowed to Lu Tiandu and Chu Hui who were at the top.

"Everyone, this wine is quite strong. If you are not good at drinking, don't drink it all at once!"

Lu Tian returned the greeting and added.

As Lu Tiandu and Chu Hui drank the immortal wine in the cup, some of the others took a small sip, some picked up the jade chopsticks and dipped a drop to taste it carefully, and some impatiently drank half a cup in one gulp.

Just as everyone was savoring the taste and praising it, the gold-faced man named Yu from the demon clan, who had drunk half a cup of immortal wine, fell down with a plop on the cushion beside the jade table.

This scene immediately made the other monks, who were blushing and looking ethereal, burst into laughter.

As for those commanders who have not yet advanced to the fusion stage, they looked at each other, rolled their eyes, covered their sleeves, and quietly put away the remaining Hongluo Immortal Wine.

If they drank two or three more drops, they would probably be drunk.

By then, I don’t know which elder will get the remaining half cup of immortal wine!

It was a great fortune for them to get a cup of this kind of immortal wine at the right time. Maybe after taking it slowly, they could use the powerful spiritual energy in the immortal wine to break through the bottleneck of advancing to the fusion. Naturally, they didn't care about their face at this moment.

Seeing the small actions of these late-stage refining elders, several other fusion elders who were not very good at drinking also coughed dryly and replaced the immortal wine in front of them silently, glancing at the remaining half cup of immortal wine of Elder Yu.

I wonder what expression the wine-loving Elder Yu had when he woke up and saw that the remaining half cup of his spirit wine had disappeared!
Next, during the toast, Lu Tiandu briefly talked about some of the wild things he had seen and heard, and then asked about the major events of the human race in recent years. The most mentioned by several combined elders was that several dangerous places in the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent, including Taishou Mountains, Jiaoyuan Grand Canyon, and Broken Soul Wilderness, were swept away by unknown existences, and a lot of resources in them seemed to be obtained by these mysterious monks.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lu Tiandu pretended to be equally ignorant.

Apparently, no one knew that he had led the Yao Chi ladies to sweep through these dangerous places and obtain countless resources.

As for the dragon on the Nine Dragon Chariot, Lu Tiandu had mentioned before that he had an opportunity in the sea, which could be considered an excuse.

As for the human race, nothing major has happened in the past fifty years or in the past two or three hundred years.

The only thing worth mentioning is that just ten years ago, Emperor Tianmiao Linghuang failed to survive the great heavenly tribulation and eventually died.

Ninety years later, when the hundred-year period is up, a ceremony to compete for the new Spiritual Emperor will be held in Spiritual Emperor City.

"I didn't expect that our human race has lost another late-stage fusion expert. Although I am not familiar with Fellow Daoist Mu, as the emperor of our human race, Fellow Daoist Mu has also devoted a lot of effort to our human race. This cup of spiritual wine can be used as a tribute to him!"

Lu Tiandu felt a little regretful. He held the wine glass in the distance and drank it all in one gulp.

Eight hundred years ago, just after ascending to the spirit world, he had seen this human spirit emperor from afar at the Tianling City auction. After that, five hundred years ago, at the first grand auction of Yaochi Palace, that was the only time the two met.

The Spirit Emperor came to purchase the Tribulation Puppet made from the Weeping Blood Spirit Wood, and finally won the bid for it.

Unfortunately, a cultivator in the state of combined form can only survive eighteen great heavenly tribulations at most. This Spirit Emperor lived for more than 40,000 years and survived more than ten great heavenly tribulations. Without such a precious treasure as the Xuantian Fragments to protect him, he still could not survive a great heavenly tribulation.

In fact, Ao Xiao, Mo Jianli and others are similar.

A Mahayana cultivator can only survive thirty-six major heavenly tribulations. Ao Xiao was seriously injured after the twenty-first major heavenly tribulation. Without the healing elixir and immortal secret techniques given by Lu Tiandu, he would probably die after enduring one or two more major heavenly tribulations.

Thousands of years later, Mo Jianli also perished in a great heavenly tribulation. In fact, it was all because of the lack of a precious treasure to protect himself. After all, they had experienced about twenty great heavenly tribulations each.

In fact, for Mahayana practitioners, the great heavenly tribulation after the thirtyth time is the most dangerous.

Obviously, it can be seen from here that these two pillars of the human and demon races are just ordinary Mahayana early stage cultivators.

After paying a brief tribute to the late Spiritual Emperor, everyone started chatting again.

Soon, everyone started talking about the Wanbao Conference held once every thousand years between the human and demon races.

The most recent event was held more than eighty years later. Although the Yao Chi Palace Grand Auction in the past five hundred years was quite famous among both the human and demon races, the Wanbao Conference has a long history and still has considerable weight in the hearts of high-level cultivators of the two races.

Lu Tiandu had ascended to heaven only eight hundred years ago and had never participated in such a grand event between the two clans, so everyone gave a detailed introduction.

Just as the banquet was coming to an end, Elder Gu and the others spoke again:

"Senior Lu, it is a custom for newly promoted Mahayana monks of each race to hold a Mahayana celebration and invite monks from other races to watch the ceremony to promote the prestige of their own race. I wonder if you have any idea about the Mahayana ceremony..."

"In that case, this event will be held in Tianyuan City one year from now. I would like to trouble you fellow Taoists to inform fellow Taoists in the three realms and seven lands... As for inviting the nearby foreign races to watch the ceremony, you can also send envoys!"

Lu Tiandu pondered for a moment and said, "As for Fellow Daoist Mo and Fellow Daoist Ao, I will notify them personally! You just need to make preparations first. After a while, the monks from Yao Chi Palace will come to assist you!"

"Okay, we will prepare carefully and will not bring shame to our seniors!"

All the monks bowed together, and the banquet came to an end.

Soon after, the news that Lu Tiandu had advanced to the Mahayana stage from the wilderness and returned to the human race, and that a Mahayana celebration would be held in Tianyuan City one year later, spread from Tianyuan City to the human, demon and surrounding races.

All the forces, big and small, of the two races, the demons and the devils, who received the news, were shocked and even couldn't believe it for the first time.

After all, Lu Tiandu is too young. Four hundred years ago, his cultivation level was still at the initial stage of fusion. How could he advance to the Mahayana stage in such a short time?

As a result, after these forces confirmed the truth of the news through various channels, they were all excited and replied that they would come to attend the ceremony on time.

Not long after, alien spies living near the human race also learned this shocking news.

Considering what happened when the Nine Dragons sedan chair passed through the border before, everyone's faces changed drastically when they confirmed the news of Lu Tiandu's advancement.

Among them, the news that Madam Xueliu, a Mahayana cultivator, will join the human race and become the human race's supreme guest elder has also spread widely.

The human race is about to have three Mahayana monks, ushering in a highlight moment. While countless human monks are cheering and rejoicing, the hostile alien races near the human race are becoming uneasy.

At this time, the envoy team led by the combined monks sent by Tianyuan City also set out into the wilderness...

Tianyun Mountains.

In a slightly remote spiritual cave, although Han Li had advanced to the Void Refining stage hundreds of years ago, he did not change his cave and still settled here in a low-key manner.

When Han Li, who was meditating, received the news from Dayan Divine Lord in the Wanli Talisman that Lu Tiandu had advanced to the Mahayana stage, his face was filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? Senior Lu is only three years older than me, and now his cultivation has advanced to the Mahayana stage?"

“Originally, I thought that with the elixirs I bought from the Yaochi Palace auction, I could advance to the late stage of the Void Refining Realm in a few years. In one or two hundred years, I would be able to reach the Fusion Realm and narrow the gap with Senior Lu. I didn’t expect that Senior Lu has already reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm…”

"Could it be that Senior Lu is really the reincarnation of a banished immortal?"

Thinking of this, Han Li let out a long sigh and secretly sighed.

Unconsciously, he recalled everything in the human world.

When he first started cultivating immortality, he relied on the supreme opportunity of the little green liquid in the small bottle to make rapid progress at a speed far exceeding that of others.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is considered a rare genius in cultivation.

As a result, it seemed that since the foundation-building stage, the mysterious Senior Brother Lu has always been one major realm lower than him.

The reason why he was able to catch up quickly was inseparable from the transaction between him and Senior Brother Lu.

As a result, when he arrived in the spiritual world, Lu Tiandu was famous among the alien races for his cultivation of refining emptiness and killing cultivators of fusion, but he was still preparing to advance to the middle stage of transformation of the spirit.

Afterwards, only four hundred years after his ascension, no one could have guessed that Lu Tiandu could defeat a Mahayana cultivator like the Black Owl King with his powerful physical cultivation that he rarely displayed.

At that moment, countless monks looked sideways.

After this battle, Lu Tiandu was also known as the number one cultivator of the human race!

As a result, just when he was about to concentrate on his hard work and continue to catch up in the realm of Dharma cultivation, suddenly, Lu Tiandu became a respected Mahayana Dharma cultivation ancestor!

"After all, this era is Senior Lu's era!"

Han Li smiled to himself and shook his head.

In the more than six hundred years since he ascended to the spiritual world, he used the numerous rare spiritual medicines cultivated with the countless spiritual fluids in the small green bottle to secretly buy many cultivation items at large and small auctions in the Yao Chi Palace. In a short period of time, he achieved the middle stage of the Refining Void realm, and everyone who knew about his cultivation speed was secretly shocked by his!

As a result, when compared with Lu Tian, ​​well... let’s not compare!
"In that case, there is no need to rush into seclusion. Let's meet Senior Lu first and talk after the ceremony!"

Han Li calmed down and quickly thought about what suitable gift to prepare for this Mahayana celebration. (End of this chapter)
