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

Chapter 486 Those who are not from my race must have different hearts.

Chang'an is not far from Luoyang.

At least it is not far for someone like Chen Yun who has achieved immortality.

In a flash, he arrived at the embassy in Luoyang.

In the room, Nihe and Xihe were sitting there quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.

As for the condolence teams including Zhulihunhe, Master Cixian and Li Ming, they have not arrived yet.

"Master Chen, you're here." Nihe sat there motionless, but his tone was full of admiration, "I haven't seen you for more than ten days, and your cultivation seems to have improved a lot."

Chen Yun walked over to the two of them, pulled a chair and sat down, "It just so happened that I had some insights, and luckily my cultivation increased a little."

He said with some envy, "The cultivation of the Taoist sect is very different from that of the outsiders like us. One can even achieve enlightenment overnight and become an immortal instantly. We don't have that kind of blessing."

Indeed, there are many differences between Taoist practice and evil cults.

It is not uncommon in Taoism to achieve sudden enlightenment and instantly become an immortal.

Some people may even have a profound sudden enlightenment and become celestial beings in an instant.

However, these are basically powerful immortals who have reincarnated and cultivated again.

Even if an ordinary person has an epiphany one day, the most he can achieve is becoming an immortal.

Of course, those who have achieved immortality may still have the possibility of sudden enlightenment and rapid improvement in their skills.

Chen Yun's cultivation level improved greatly in the past ten days, and was regarded as enlightenment by Nihe and Xihe. In fact, it was very normal.

Naturally, he would not take the initiative to tell others that his cultivation level had greatly improved because he took a magical soup.

Chen Yun changed the subject and asked, "Did Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang escape?"

Ni He said “hmm” calmly, “Thanks to Wu Yang for the help of the Wind God Flag, we were able to temporarily blow away the Sun’s True Fire Essence. Ni He and I were unable to resist the power of the Fire Essence, and could only watch them escape.”

He sighed, "The Wind God Flag and the Star God Fire Cover are particularly magical. It's a pity that my brother and I don't have powerful magic weapons. Otherwise, if we broke the Wind God Flag and the Star God Fire Cover, we would definitely be able to kill these two people."

Chen Yun was not surprised by this, and was even secretly happy about it.

His hatred for Xie Wuyang and Taoist Gou Teng was not a one-day thing. He wished he could kill them both with his own hands instead of relying on Nihe and Xihe to eliminate the two old villains.

Taoist Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang were both seriously injured this time. I think they won’t dare to cause trouble again in the short term.

Chen Yun knew that he would have a lot of time to improve his cultivation.

When they fight again next time, he will definitely have a chance of defeating Xie Wuhuan.

It’s just that Taoist Gou Teng’s cultivation is too high, so it seems we still need to think of a way.

His mind couldn't help but recall the magical oil lamp in the cave of Sun Moon Lake.

If I could obtain that magic weapon, perhaps I could break the Starry Fire Cover.

As for the Wind God Flag, the Seven Treasures Magic Tree can temporarily resist it.

Just as Chen Yun was thinking secretly.

Xie He said, "Xie Wuyang was injured by you, Master Chen, and that old thief Gou Teng was beaten by my brother because he wanted to save Xie Wuyang. They were both seriously injured. I estimate that it will take at least several years for them to recover. It is really a pity that we can't find them for the time being."

"Several years are very long for mortals." Nihe said calmly, as if explaining some truth. "However, for immortals like us, it is just a fleeting moment. The ups and downs of dynasties are just like passing clouds and smoke. In the eyes of immortals, they are just a passing moment."

Chen Yun agreed with Nie He's opinion.

Several years are indeed a very long time for mortals.

The life span of an immortal is too long. When they practice cultivation, a single retreat might last for a hundred years.

In fact, he has no chance of winning if he fights against Xie Wuyang and Taoist Gou Teng now.

With several years to develop, the chances of winning are better.

Not to mention anything else, as long as he gives himself a year, he will be able to absorb all the medicinal effects of the Qi Refining Decoction, and by then his cultivation will be far beyond Xie Wuyang.

If he has another adventure in the future and his cultivation is raised to the Earthly Immortal Realm, and then he can gather all the medicinal materials needed for the Divine Transformation Soup, it is not impossible for his cultivation to surpass Taoist Gou Teng.

It seems that these words are not only referring to Xie Wuhuai and Gou Teng.

He pointed to the bamboo forest outside. "The general trend of the world is that long-term division will eventually lead to unification, and long-term unification will eventually lead to division. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the seven kingdoms fought each other and were incorporated into Qin. After the fall of Qin, Chu and Han fought each other and were incorporated into Han. Then the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties followed one after another. Since the fourth year of Emperor Aizong of Tang's Tianyou, heroes all over the world have risen up to fight for the top. The Central Plains has gone through the Liang Dynasty and came to the Pseudo-Tang. At the end of last year, Emperor Mingzong of the Pseudo-Tang died. Undercurrents are surging, and the empire is swaying in the wind. It is a great opportunity for us Khitan to rule the Central Plains."

At this point, Nihe turned his head to look at Chen Yun, "Master Chen, I know you are from the Central Plains, but immortals like us rarely have feelings for our homeland. We only see the general trend. If you can help the True Dragon to rule the world in the Conferred God Battle and your name is on the Conferred God Chart, you can at least have the power of an immortal. If your contribution is great and the position you are given is prominent enough, it is not impossible to obtain the power of a celestial immortal. Do you think my Khitan Dynasty will become the next ruler of the world?"

Chen Yun doesn't know whether other immortals have feelings for their homeland.

In his heart, he still believed that he was from the Central Plains and had not forgotten his ancestors. In addition, Chen Yun had reincarnated into this world with his memories and roughly knew the direction of history.

Although the Khitan was regarded as one of the orthodox dynasties by some people in later generations, it was never as recognized as the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he certainly did not look favorably upon the Khitans ruling the Central Plains.

However, Chen Yun is now planning a world layout for the future true dragon Zhao Kuangyin, and currently he has to rely on the national strength of Khitan to advance the progress of history, so naturally he would not say these words.

He smiled and said, "The Khitans are powerful and indeed have the potential to rule the Central Plains. Mr. Nihe, is there any profound meaning behind what you said to me?"

Ni He laughed loudly and said, "That's right. I saw that the fortune of the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty has been declining soon, so I was thinking whether I should add fuel to the fire and make its edifice collapse."

Hehe followed up by saying, "My brother and I have actually discussed this matter for a long time on the way back from Tanggu. If we want to make the Pseudo-Tang fall apart, we need a key point."

Chen Yun said: "I would like to hear the details."

Ni He looked at him seriously and said, "The key is you."

"Me?" Chen Yun could roughly guess what the two were thinking, but he still pretended not to understand. "What do you mean?"

He said, "When the Liang Dynasty and the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty were fighting for the world, not many gods came down to help them, because everyone could tell from the fortunes of the two dynasties that it was not a long-term trend. The nobles of the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty had not seen too many truly divine miracles. If Master Chen could shock many of the Pseudo-Tang nobles and attract them to curry favor with him, and then secretly instigate them, perhaps the Pseudo-Tang regime could collapse in a short period of time, thus giving Khitan the possibility of marching into the Central Plains. By then, Master Chen would have made great contributions, and the position of the god he was conferred would certainly not be low. It is not impossible for him to even become a Heavenly Emperor one day. Are you... tempted by this?"

According to what Chen Yun knew, there were generally two possibilities for being on the map of the god-conferring positions.

First, the divine power possessed by the godly position is not as good as one's own. The diagram of the godhood will evolve into an incarnation of the corresponding divine power, which one can control at will.

Second, the divine power possessed by obtaining the priesthood far exceeds one's own. The diagram of the deification position will infuse the divine power into the body of the deified person, allowing him to obtain the divine power he deserves, while at the same time not erasing his own cultivation, so he can still practice normally.

To put it simply, you are still yourself, but you have an extra powerful force and the abilities of various gods to use.

This powerful divine power will not improve one's own realm, but it can allow people to feel the countless mysteries of a higher realm of cultivation in advance, which is more conducive to improving cultivation.

The former is still okay, but the latter allows people to glimpse a higher level in advance, which is indeed very tempting.

But Chen Yun was actually not very interested in the Battle of the Gods.

The art of inner alchemy is extremely mysterious and can encompass everything.

If one cultivates successfully, he can easily shake the heavens and all the worlds.

Who cares whether he is deified or not?
The reason why I participated in it.

On the one hand, he had promised Ji Xin that he would get him and his brothers at least a position as a ghost messenger.

As a man who keeps his promises, he naturally has to fulfill his promise.

On the other hand, the mentor suffered.

Chen Yun was the recipient of the wisdom passed down from the other party, so it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.

Thinking of accumulating enough merit to rescue him from the Heavenly Prison.

Of course, he would not tell any of these words to Nihe and Xihe.

Chen Yun said: "Any cultivator would be tempted."

Nihe and Xihe looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.

Ni He struck while the iron was hot and said, "In that case, Master Chen, I have a brilliant plan that will destroy the Pseudo-Tang in a short period of time. Do you want to hear if this plan is feasible?"

Chen Yun said: "Please speak."

He said: "Before the death of Emperor Mingzong of the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty, the throne was passed to his second son Li Conghou. Although this man was willing to work hard to govern the country, he was indecisive by nature and had no ability to judge people. As a result, Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun relied on their merits in supporting the emperor and monopolized the government. They squeezed out all of Li Conghou's confidants from the court and transferred the commanders of the imperial guards An Yanwei and Zhang Congbin to be governors, taking the opportunity to control the military power of the imperial guards. As long as Master Chen can persuade these two to rebel, the collapse of the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty is just around the corner. By then, we can let the current Khitan emperor write a letter to Li Congke, the adopted son of Emperor Mingzong of the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty, expressing his willingness to send troops to help him quell the rebellion of Zhu and Feng. Then, can't we rule the Central Plains with justification?"

It is true that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. This plan is particularly vicious.

On the surface, the Khitan was willing to help Li Congke quell the Zhu-Feng Rebellion.

In fact, he secretly succeeded in allowing the army to enter the Central Plains.

By then, when Li Congke, Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun are fighting each other, won't the Khitan be able to reap the benefits?

Chen Yun knew that if he really listened to Nie He's strategy, it might really change the course of history.

Unfortunately, even though he became an immortal, he still had some feelings for his homeland in his heart and did not want the Khitan to rule the Central Plains.

Chen Yun did not reject the proposal, but said with a smile: "I have a better plan. Brother Nihe and Brother Nihe, the condolence team will arrive in Luoyang tomorrow. You can just wait and see what happens."

Nihe and Xihe knew that Chen Yun would not attack without reason.

The two men's eyes lit up, and they were all secretly wondering what clever plan Chen Yun had that could bring about the demise of the Later Tang Dynasty?
