Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Is this the holy city of our human race?"

Several months have passed since the human race's Yunxiao Holy City came into being. When Han Li, Xiang Zhili, Feng Laoguai, and Dayan Shenjun first saw the huge city in the sky, they were still shocked.

The hundred-mile-wide Tianling City can be considered a void city to some extent. It is also a unique existence among the seven or eight small tribes in the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent.

But compared with the famous Tianling City and the huge Yunxiao Holy City, it is really a dwarf compared to a giant!

Over the past few months, countless monks have flocked here from all three realms, just to see this real city in the sky.

Several months ago, Han Li and the other three received the Wanli Fu message from Lu Tiandu, but some of them were on missions at that time, so it took several months for them to arrive near the Holy Emperor City.

During these few months, Yunxiao Holy City's reputation has grown through the spread of high-level monks who have visited the city.

Han Li and the other three finally decided to accept Lu Tiandu's invitation and settle in the Holy City. In fact, it was mainly because of the impending demonic calamity.

According to the news about the demonic calamity that has been passed down in the past, even cultivators in the late stage of fusion are likely to perish. Naturally, those cultivators of fusion and refining who have just advanced to the stage cannot guarantee that they can successfully survive the demonic calamity.

There are several Mahayana monks in this city, as well as the mysterious Yao Chi Palace and other holy city. There is no doubt that this holy city will be the safest refuge for both humans and demons.

Yes, among the four, Han Li had successfully advanced to the fusion stage by purchasing a breakthrough quota from the Yao Chi Palace four hundred years ago.

Xiang Zhili and the other two were still in the early and middle stages of the Refining Void stage.

Just as Han Li and the other three were shocked, voices of discussion reached their ears.

"I heard that Senior Lu, Senior Mo, and Senior Chu from my clan are already in charge of this city. Three Mahayana cultivators gathered in one city. This kind of event is really rare to see in tens of thousands of years!"

"Yes, not only that, the number of our human race's fusion cultivators has increased sharply in recent years. I heard that there are dozens of fusion cultivators who have applied to join the Holy City this time! There are even more cultivators at the level of Refining Void!"

"The heaven and earth energy in this city alone is several times that of the outside world, and the heaven and earth energy in the caves on the sacred mountains is even more dense. With such conditions, plus the presence of a Mahayana ancestor in this city, it makes sense that these seniors flock here!"

"My dear brother, you may not know this yet, but the demon clan's ancestor Ao Xiao has also set up a cave in the Holy City! Our sect's great elder once met with ancestor Ao Xiao in the Holy City!"

"What! Even Ancestor Ao Xiao is here!"

“Not only Patriarch Ao Xiao, but also the seven demon kings and other high-level demon cultivators have come to the Holy City. Now Senior Lu is in seclusion, and the person in charge is Senior Chu!”

"Could it be that the demon cultivators are also going to move into our holy city?"

"Who knows? But Senior Lu invited a million people from the Wilderness to move into this city all at once. This kind of treatment is really enviable!"

"It's normal for the Crystal Clan to have this treatment. In recent years, the various spiritual pills, spiritual talismans, spiritual treasures and other cultivation resources that have been passed down from the Crystal Clan have been extremely popular among both the human and demon races!"

"Yes, with the existence of the Crystal Clan over the years, our sect has traded a lot of good things when preparing for the Demonic Tribulation!"

"I heard that the Crystal Clan has opened many shops in the residential area in the west of the city. I want to go and see them on the next open day!"

"Hehe, these are fine. What I value most is the special breakthrough cave provided by the Holy City for independent cultivators like me. When I break through the bottleneck next time, I will definitely rent a cave with five times the spiritual energy to break through..."

……

Han Li and the other three listened for a while and gained a lot of new information. After a while, the four of them looked at each other and fled together, heading straight for the holy city in the sky.

"Hey, the quota for entering the city today is full. Why are these four people still flying to the Holy City? Are they guards of the Holy City or do they have a cave in the Holy City?"

Seeing the escape light of Han Li and the other three, people in the crowd started talking again.

Han Li and his three companions quickly landed on a jade staircase. Looking around, they saw an extremely large glazed building sign.

The three gilded ancient characters "Nantianmen" in the middle of the building sign flashed with amazing spiritual light. With a glance of spiritual consciousness, one could feel a fascinating force of restriction.

Under the signboard of the four-pillar and three-door building, several Void-Refining Monks dressed in silver armor stood with majestic bearing and captivating eyes.

Obviously these people are the new guards who joined the Holy City.

After stepping onto the jade steps, reporting their names, and showing the talisman that Lu Tiandu had left for them, Han Li and the other three walked forward several feet before passing through an invisible light curtain and entering the holy city.

The next moment, a burst of noise came into the eyes of the four people.

Obviously, although this city is thousands of miles long and wide and covers an extremely large area, now that countless cultivators from the third realm of the human race have come to visit, the city is a bit overcrowded, so the number of people entering the city is temporarily restricted.

The four of them instantly realized that the vitality of heaven and earth in the city was indeed many times that of the outside world. With a sweep of their spiritual sense, they saw that the thirty-six thousand-foot sacred mountains wrapped in forbidden forces scattered throughout the city were also extremely conspicuous, with lights flying in and out from time to time.

Obviously, the special caves built in these sacred mountains have spiritual energy that is three to five times richer than that in the city!
In the center of the city, on a circular altar a hundred feet high, Lu Tiandu's clone of Emperor Beidou stood quietly with a halo flickering behind his head.

Below the altar, there is an endless stream of worshippers.

Looking at the broad Jade Avenue in front of him, the jade pavilions on both sides, and the coming and going of the Divine Transformation and Void Refining monks, Xiang Zhili smiled and said:
"Why don't we take a look around the Holy City first, and then go and choose a cave?"

"Just follow what Brother Xiang said!"

The city's rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth certainly didn't come out of thin air.

Several ancient formations were set up in the city and were in constant operation to absorb vital energy from the outside world. At the same time, many top-grade spiritual stone veins were drilled into the thirty-six thousand-foot spiritual mountains where special caves were arranged.

This is the only way to maintain the city’s amazing supply of spiritual energy.

Therefore, except for those who join the city's guards or special personnel, the cost of living in this city for a long time is not cheap.

In fact, even the Crystal Clan would pay a huge price every hundred years, but not many cultivators knew the inside story.

Lu Tian promised the four people a hundred years of free residence rights. After a hundred years, although the four people will receive preferential treatment, they still have to pay part of the fees.

This is naturally normal. They live in the spiritual caves under the jurisdiction of Tianyuan City, and they also have to pay some price, either spirit stones or completing missions.

Just as Han Li and his three companions were touring the holy city, Lu Yongqing, Lu Tianxing, Xiao Cui'er and a dashing young man who looked very similar to Lu Tianxing were chatting in an elegantly decorated cave halfway up one of the holy peaks.

The spiritual energy in this cave is extremely rich, three or four times that of the outside world. For some big clans, it is also a holy place for cultivation!

It is the cave that Lu Tiandu left for the Lu family!
Of course, not only this cave, but also the other ten caves on the hillside of this holy peak are also the private land left by Lu Tiandu to the Lu family.

Once the Lu family grows in size, they will be recruited one by one!

Lu Yongqing ascended to the spiritual world more than 500 years ago, and quickly advanced to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation with the help of the Seven Clouds Lotus given by Lu Tiandu. Now, not only has he broken through the Void Refinement Stage, but judging from his aura, he is not far from the peak of the early stage of the Void Refinement Stage.

As for Lu Tianxing and Xiao Cuier, one has reached the late stage of Refining Void, and the other is at the peak of the middle stage of Refining Void.

And that young man was none other than Lu Tianxing’s second son, Lu Jingze, who was born shortly after Lu Tiandu held the Mahayana ceremony more than 800 years ago.

Because of his innate powerful soul, the two spiritual roots of wind and thunder, and his spiritual body, as well as the various inheritances left by Lu Tiandu in the Wind and Thunder Prison Map, this boy's path of cultivation can be said to be extremely smooth.

He advanced to the God Transformation stage in just 500 years, and made a great name for himself in Tianyuan City with his wind and thunder magic. However, few people knew that he was Lu Tiandu's nephew.

Now Lu Jingze has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and is only one step away from the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

After chatting about some information about the demonic calamity, Lu Tianxing took out a jade box and handed it to his second son:
"This is the Seven Clouds Lotus given by your aunt. After you take it, I believe you will soon be able to advance to the late stage of the Spiritualization Stage. When the demonic calamity breaks out, you will join me in the battle!"

"The child knows!"

Lu Jingze took the jade box respectfully, with a look of joy on his face. He was not afraid of the coming tribulation, and asked again:
"I wonder when I can meet my uncle?"

He grew up listening to the legend of Lu Tiandu, but had never met Lu Tiandu in person.

Naturally, he was extremely curious about this uncle who suppressed the human race. Moreover, his qualifications, cultivation methods, and supernatural powers were all passed down from Lu Tiandu. He even regarded Lu Tiandu as his idol on the road of cultivation.

I originally thought that I would be able to meet Lu Tiandu in person when I came to the Holy City this time, but I ended up learning that Lu Tiandu was in seclusion, and I was quite disappointed.

"After you advance to the Refining Void stage, I will take you to meet your uncle!"

Lu Tianxing smiled.

He was also very satisfied with his second son, who was valued even by his own fourth brother.

There is no doubt that after Lu Tiandu ascends to heaven in the future, the task of truly developing the Lu family will probably fall on the shoulders of the second son.

"Besides, after you advance to the Refining Void stage, the marriage will also be put on the agenda!"

Lu Tianxing thought of something else, glanced at Lu Jingze, and couldn't help but remind him.

Lu Jingze smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, chatted with his parents and grandfather for a few more words, then said goodbye and went to another cave nearby.

"This kid imitates his uncle in everything, but he doesn't even consider his own abilities!"

Seeing his second son leave, Lu Tianxing's face changed and he couldn't help but complain.

Obviously, he seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that his second son had many concubines.

In particular, the second son’s current achievements are mainly due to the influence of his father.

Otherwise, even if he had extraordinary talent, how could he have achieved such accomplishments in such a short time.

"Well, as long as he doesn't take advantage of others and his concubines are willing, let him do as he pleases!"

Lu Yongqing coughed and disagreed with Lu Tianxing's complaints.

After all, it is also a big problem for the Lu family to develop and expand its clan.

Lu Tianxing and Xiao Cui'er met each other when they were humble, and they supported each other and had a deep love for each other. Lu Tianxing didn't want to take a concubine, so he couldn't say anything, but he loved this grandson with amazing talent.

Lu Tiandu gave him some cultivation resources, and he gave part of them to Lu Jingze in private!

Of course, this may also be due to the relationship between generations!
He was thinking that when Lu Jingze gave birth to a dozen big fat boys, the Lu family would be truly prosperous!
"I don't know when Jingxi and Bingxuan will ascend. When they both ascend, our Lu family will be complete!"

At this time, Xiao Cui'er looked nostalgic as she talked about her eldest son and daughter-in-law.

"According to the agreement made back then, they should be able to ascend successfully in one or two hundred years at the fastest, or four or five hundred years at the slowest! And by then, they will surely have reached the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm!"

Lu Tianxing also showed a sigh.

For the development of the Lu family in the human world, Lu Yongqing delayed his ascension time for a thousand years. Now the burden falls on Lu Jingxi.

However, with the recovery of the vitality of the human world, Lu Jingxi and his wife are no longer trapped in a certain realm. Although it is much slower than practicing in the spiritual world, they are still making progress.

With two generations of Divine Transformation cultivators in charge, as well as all the resources left by Lu Tiandu and the opportunities on Xianyuan Island, the Lu family's development has long been on the fast track.

And if nothing unexpected happens, after Lu Jingxi and his wife officially ascend to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the ascension channel from the human world will be opened again!

By then, the Lu family's inheritance in the human world will continue, and Lu family cultivators will ascend to heaven one after another.

Moreover, if something big happened to the Lu family in the human world, the Lu family cultivators would surely light the incense to transmit the urgent message.

……

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

After more than a year of seclusion, in a secret room at the top of a holy peak in the holy city, Lu Tiandu finally refined two emperor-level spirit puppets, the three-legged golden crow and the nine-headed bird.

In fact, with the secret art of the spirit puppets of the Earth Spirit Clan and the method of refining immortal puppets exchanged from Han Li, the two spirit puppets had already been transformed by the women and refined into semi-finished products.

The last step requires splitting part of the soul and integrating it into it, so that the true power of the emperor-level spirit puppet can be unleashed.

This step actually limits the possibility of mass production of emperor-level spirit puppets.

Apart from the Mahayana cultivator who is about to pass away and is willing to give up half of his soul to achieve an emperor-level spirit puppet, there is really no Mahayana cultivator in his prime who is willing to do this.

But this is naturally not difficult for Lu Tiandu.

Not only had he used the Six Divine Lotuses in his hand to cultivate a soul clone earlier, but he had also refined the souls of some alien cultivators to restore his original spirit. Naturally, he didn't need to worry about damage to his soul.

Although two emperor-level spirit puppets have been refined now, the emperor-level spirit puppets also have certain defects.

As they attack more and more times, their strength will become weaker and weaker until they fall to the Mahayana stage.

As long as the two spirit puppets can cultivate the puppet laws, this situation will change completely.

However, this is difficult to say. The cultivators who can cultivate the power of laws are extremely rare, not to mention that it is even more difficult to let the psychic puppet practice the puppet law.

Lu Tian planned to go to the Demon Source Sea in the future, subdue the Crab Taoist, and let the Crab Taoist teach their fellow tribesmen.

The main role of these two emperor-level spirit puppets in the future will be to guard the holy city, so there is no need to worry about them making too many moves in a short period of time and being scrapped.

Moreover, Lu Tian is planning to refine two more spirit puppets before leaving the spirit world in the future.

With the Four Symbols Formation arranged by the four spirit puppets and the earth immortal clone sitting at the center, even if there is a shortage of Mahayana cultivators in the human race in the future and the human race falls from being a large clan, the five Mahayana cultivators in the last holy city will serve as the foundation and they will be able to have no worries.

Three years later, Wen Qing returned from the wilderness with the cultivation level of a Mahayana!

Five years later, Qing Yuanzi returned to the human race and settled in the Holy City!
The return of Qing Yuanzi also indicates that the number of Mahayana cultivators in the human race has reached an astonishing five!
Six years later.

On this day, when many cultivators of the human race discovered that many huge gray spots of varying sizes suddenly appeared in the cloudless blue sky, and these gray spots quickly spread and eroded the entire sky in waves of strong spatial fluctuations, they knew that the demonic calamity was about to come!
