Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 471 Master Chen Goes South

As early as the Xinchou day of November, a major event also happened in Khitan. The Empress Dowager passed away, and Emperor Taizong of Liao sent envoys to express condolences to the Later Tang court and the Human Emperor Wang Bei.

The Human Emperor Wang Bei was none other than the Liao Shizong's father, the Dongdan King Yelü Bei. The reason why he was called the Human Emperor was because after Liao Taizu Yelü Abaoji conquered the Bohai Kingdom, he was very happy. In view of the hard work and great contributions of his eldest son, he canonized him as the Human Emperor.

It is worth mentioning here that the Empress Dowager refers to Liao Taizu’s mother Xiao Yanmu Jin, not Liao Taizu’s wife Empress Shulü Ping.

Xiao Yan's mother Jin was the grandmother of Emperor Taizong of Liao.

Therefore, when the Empress Dowager passed away, the entire Khitan was filled with grief.

Emperor Taizong of Liao, who had always been diligent in governing the country, took an unprecedented holiday just to observe mourning for 27 days.

Ordinary people observe mourning for twenty-seven months, which is generally referred to as three years, but this is not the case in the royal family.

The royal family used days to represent months, with one day equaling one month, so one only needed to observe mourning for twenty-seven days.

Emperor Taizong of Liao even ignored the tribute from the Dangxiang because he was in mourning.

However, today, even though Emperor Taizong of Liao was still in mourning, he had to come forward.

Because Chen Yun brought his retainer Chang Erye into the palace.

In the palace.

Emperor Taizong of Liao, dressed in mourning, looked respectfully at Chen Yun, who was sitting on the chair, and Master Chang, who was standing behind Chen Yun.

He asked in a friendly tone, "I wonder what important matter Chen Xian has with me when he comes to the palace today?"

Chen Yun took a sip of the hot tea brought by the eunuch, slowly put down the teacup and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has received the news of the death of the Emperor of Tang?"

Liao Taizong's face changed, and he asked in surprise: "The Emperor of Tang has passed away?"

Chen Yun immediately knew that Emperor Taizong of Liao had not yet received the news.

He smiled and said, "Yes, if I am not wrong, at the latest on the Wuwu day of the leap month of next year, the angels of the Tang court will come to express their condolences. Your Majesty, what do you think about this?"

A hint of determination flashed across Emperor Taizong's eyes. "We should mobilize the army to attack the south!"

Chen Yun was very satisfied with Emperor Taizong's decisiveness. He nodded slightly and said, "The southern expedition is inevitable, but the situation of the Tang court is still unknown. In my opinion, it is better to wait for the Tang court envoy to arrive, and then send a team of people to express condolences and find out the situation clearly before taking action."

Master Chang stood there without saying a word, just listening quietly.

To be honest, Mr. Chang Er couldn't understand why Chen Yun, a southerner, would offer advice to the Khitan emperor and ask him to launch an expedition to the south.

In fact, Mr. Chang had no idea that Chen Yun did this in order to advance the historical process as quickly as possible in order to lay out a plan for Zhao Kuangyin to seize the world.

If the Later Tang Dynasty had not perished, it would have been really difficult to change the dynasty by relying on the slogan of continuing the Great Tang Dynasty.

Chen Yun's plan to go south this time was not only to pay his respects, but more to cause the Later Tang Dynasty to disintegrate from within.

When Emperor Taizong of Liao heard what Chen Yun said, he immediately realized something.

He asked respectfully, "Is it possible that Chen Xian wants to go to the south himself?"

Chen Yun smiled and looked over and said, "That's right. I am willing to take a team with me to find out the situation in the Tang court so that Your Majesty can seize the world."

Emperor Taizong of Liao was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Chen Xian, to make the trip."

Chen Yun was about to say yes.

Suddenly, the air rippled in front of him, and then a skeleton appeared.

The skeleton instantly took the shape of a middle-aged man.

He looked at Chen Yun with a smile on his face, "Master Chen, what you said makes sense. Your Majesty should send someone to the Tang court. I am willing to accompany Master Chen to the Tang court to inquire about the situation."

Chen Yun felt that the person in front of him seemed to be much stronger than himself, so he stood up, bowed and asked, "May I ask who you are, sir?"

The middle-aged man said, "I am a stranger. Master Chen, there is no need to be polite."

It turned out to be Nihe, the leader of the last three Khitan rulers.

According to what Chen Yun knew, among the Khitan ancestral gods, Nihe's cultivation was second only to the two ancestors.

Now he felt that the other party was unfathomable.

Therefore, it can be inferred that this person is at least comparable to the late stage of human immortal realm, or even earth immortal.

Chen Yun and the other party politely complimented each other.

Since Nihe, the leader of the last three rulers, had come forward, Emperor Taizong of Liao naturally dared not disobey.

So, several people made a plan. When the Tang court came to express condolences in the intercalary month of the following year, they would send a team led by Chen Yun and Ni He to express condolences and inquire about the situation.

……

Two months passed in a flash.

Chen Yun practiced the second level of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret" on the 9th, 19th and 29th of every month. With the increasing power of his golden elixir, he finally reached the early stage of the human immortal realm and possessed the powerful strength of a true human immortal.

On this day, envoys from the Tang court came to express condolences.

Emperor Taizong of Liao comforted the envoy.

Immediately, someone was sent to invite Chen Yun to the palace to discuss going to the south to pay condolences.

Chen Yun and Ni He had already made preparations, so there was no need to talk too much.

On a chosen day, Chen Yun and Nihe led a group of palace monks, such as Master Cixian, Li Ming, the other two of the last three masters, Nihe and Zhulihunhe, about 10 to 20 monks, and 70 to 80 mortals, carrying condolences, and headed south in a mighty procession. Because there were mortals in the team, they were not traveling very fast.

After about seven or eight days, they finally passed through Daizhou and arrived at Heyang.

We have just obtained the customs clearance documents in Heyang.

The mourning team of Chen Yun, Ni He and others was immediately noticed.

……

The Heyang Jiedushi Mansion.

Xie Wuyang and Taoist Gou Teng were discussing Taoism in a quiet room.

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Then, the voice of the reincarnated Xie Wuming came from outside the house, "Daddy, uncle, it's bad! It's bad!"

Xie Wuyang frowned and shouted, "What's the point of making so much noise? Come in!"

The door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and brother and sister Xie Wuming and Xie Lingxiao walked in one after another.

Xie Wuyang asked, "Why are you making a fuss about it?"

Taoist Gou Teng took the opportunity to look over and also showed a puzzled look.

Xie Wuming looked a little horrified and said, "I think I saw that little thief Chen Pu just now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Wuyang and Taoist Gou Teng's faces changed suddenly.

The Yinshan Sect and the Xingxiuhai Sect were completely wiped out by Chen Yun.

The two of them have been holding a grudge against Chen Yun for a long time.

Now that they heard that Chen Yun was nearby, they naturally gritted their teeth.

But the two of them gritted their teeth for a moment, and then couldn't help sighing.

In their impression, Chen Yun has not yet achieved immortality, so even if they know the other party is nearby, it seems that they have no way to take revenge.

Unexpectedly, just when the two were at a loss, Xie Wuming said another shocking piece of news, "It seems that Chen Pu has attained immortality!"

"Hmm?" Xie Wuyang looked over suddenly, "Really?"

Taoist Gou Teng was also a little incredulous and said, "As far as I know, he has only been practicing Taoism for a short period of thirty or forty years, but he has achieved enlightenment so quickly? Are you sure?"

"I think I'm right." Xie Wuming replied, "I just heard someone call him 'Master Chen'. If he hasn't attained the Tao and become an immortal, he doesn't deserve such a noble title as 'Master'."

Xie Wuyang and Taoist Gou Teng couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw surprise in their eyes.

Indeed, if one has not attained enlightenment and become an immortal, one is not worthy of the title of “real person”.

And not everyone who achieves enlightenment and becomes an immortal can be called a true person.

Generally, only Taoist priests who have achieved enlightenment and become immortals are called immortals.

If Xie Wuming heard correctly, then Chen Yun had indeed become an immortal.

This kid is so talented?
Xie Wuyang and Taoist Gou Teng were truly surprised.

But after a moment's surprise, both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha! Hahaha! Good! Very good!" Xie Wuyang laughed a little crazily, "Chen Pu has finally achieved enlightenment and become an immortal. I have been waiting for you for so long!"

Taoist Gou Teng even showed a sinister smile and said: "Back then, he wiped out my entire Xingxiu Sea clan. Because he did not attain the Tao and become an immortal, I could only watch many of my disciples being killed. Now it is finally time for revenge. I want him dead!"

Xie Lingxiao suddenly said, "Dad, uncle, you may not be able to take revenge now."

Xie Wuyang stopped laughing and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Taoist Gou Teng also looked puzzled.

Xie Lingxiao said: "It seems that Chen Pu went to Luoyang on behalf of the Khitan to pay his respects to the late emperor. If you kill him in the city, it may lead to the Khitan army to retaliate. By then, the land of Heyang will not be able to resist the Khitan cavalry."

When she said this, her mind involuntarily emerged again the scene when Chen Yun killed Yin Wuji that day. That majestic appearance was still imprinted in her heart even though decades had passed.

Xie Wuyang sneered, "Brother Gou Teng and I are naturally unable to do anything to him in Heyang City, but as long as we do it secretly, how can the Khitan know about it?"

Taoist Gou Teng nodded gently and said, "Indeed, since they are here to pay their respects, they will certainly not be able to walk fast. My brother and I will follow them and wait until we reach a deserted place. We can kill them together and no one will know. Besides, if it is not done secretly, we dare not do anything to them. Otherwise, they will notice it and ask their fellow disciples to come. We cannot defeat them."

Xie Wuyang sighed, "We only have one chance to kill him. If we miss it, we will probably have to wait until the Conferred God Battlefield to kill him. By then, his sect elders, peers, and even those younger generations who have already transcended into saints will all be there. It will be extremely difficult to kill him."

Xie Wuming spoke at the right time: "I was reincarnated, but Chen Pu didn't recognize me. Ling Xiao didn't seem to know that I was from Yinshan Sect, so he was probably not prepared. Daddy, uncle, now is a great opportunity to take revenge, we must not miss it."

Xie Wuyang said: "That makes sense. You and Ling Xiao go out first, and we will discuss what to do."

"Here."

"Dad, uncle, I'll take my leave."

Xie Wuming and Xie Lingxiao bowed and left, closing the door.

Be it Xie Wuming, Xie Wuyang or Taoist Gou Teng, none of them noticed one thing: Xie Lingxiao had a complicated look in his eyes, as if he was planning something.
