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

Chapter 510 Goodbye Chen Tuan
At night, the sky is full of stars.

In the quiet room, Chen Yun was not in a hurry to refine the purple-gold gourd into a magic weapon.

Because now he has more important things to accomplish first.

This matter is related to whether he can successfully cultivate to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

That’s right, it is to comprehend the third level of “Mr. Chen’s Inner Alchemy Secret” as soon as possible.

If you want to enter the Earthly Immortal Realm, you need to cultivate your primordial spirit.

Without cultivating the primordial spirit, one will never be able to cultivate to the earthly immortal realm.

"I currently have several origin beads in my hand. As long as I have the method to cultivate the Yuan Shen, I can use these origin beads to improve my cultivation to the Earthly Immortal Realm as soon as possible."

Chen Yun took out the "Song of Breaking the Mystery and Finding the Right Path" again and began to study it.

This research took me an entire night, but I still had no clue.

Chen Yun was neither anxious nor discouraged. In the following days, he was always immersed in studying the third level of skills.

Unfortunately, he seemed to be stuck in a bottleneck where more haste makes waste, and he was unable to comprehend the third level of skills.

……

Five years passed in a flash.

The medicinal power of the Qi-refining soup in Chen Yun's body had already been completely refined, allowing his cultivation to increase to the point where it was close to the late stage of the human immortal realm, but there was still a little bit missing.

During these five years, the situation in the world has changed greatly.

First, after Li Congke, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, ascended the throne, he made a series of foolish actions, which led to Shi Jingtang's rebellion.

After Li Congke succeeded to the throne, he appointed Shi Jingtang as the governor of Hedong and the governor of Yanjing, and as the general manager of the Han and cavalry of the Datong, Zhenwu, Zhangguo, and Wesai military forces.

Although Shi Jingtang helped Li Congke get rid of Li Conghou, a future trouble, Li Congke did not trust him. Instead, he treated him as the biggest threat and tried every means to transfer him away from the Hedong base.

After Shi Jingtang arrived in the capital to attend Li Siyuan's funeral, he did not dare to ask to go back, for fear that Li Congke would become suspicious, so he was gloomy all day long. In addition, he was ill at the time, and in the end he became so thin that he looked like a skeleton and no longer looked like a human being.

His wife, Li, quickly pleaded with her mother, Empress Dowager Cao, to let Li Congke release Shi Jingtang.

Although Li Congke was not Empress Dowager Cao's biological son, she treated him like her own son since he was a child. Seeing that Shi Jingtang was so ill, she thought he would not pose any threat, so she went with the flow and did him a favor by allowing Shi Jingtang to return to Hedong.

Unexpectedly, this time he let the tiger return to the mountains, and the Later Tang Dynasty fell into his hands.

After Shi Jingtang returned, he became more cautious and on the other hand, he was secretly accumulating strength in an attempt to counterattack.

In May of the third year of Qingtai in the Later Tang Dynasty, the court appointed Shi Jingtang as the governor of Yunzhou, promoted him to the Duke of Zhao, and gave him the title of "Futian Qiyun Zhongzheng Gongchen".

Then an imperial edict was issued to urge Shi Jingtang to go to Yunzhou to take office. This stimulated Shi Jingtang so much that he sent Sang Weihan to collude with the Khitan and become a puppet emperor, leaving him with a bad reputation for generations.

Shi Jingtang first pretended to be sick and refused to leave, and then asked Li Congke to give up the throne to Li Siyuan's biological son Li Congyi, saying that Li Congke was an adopted son and should not inherit the throne.

Li Congke ordered the dismissal of all Shi Jingtang's official positions, then sent troops to attack him, and ordered Zhang Jingda to lead the troops to attack Taiyuan.

An Zhongrong, An Yuanxin, and An Shenxin led their troops to come to the rescue, while Zhang Wandi and others led their troops to surrender.

During this month, the attacks of the troops outside the city were very fierce. Shi Jingtang personally fended off the flying arrows and rocks. Although people's hearts were firm, the food in the warehouses was gradually running out.

Shi Jingtang had a plan in place. Seeing that the enemy was at the gates and he was not strong enough, he planned to ask for help from the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang and promised him: cede the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitan, pay a large amount of tribute every year, and call himself a vassal state.

Liu Zhiyuan, the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, thought the conditions were too humiliating and there was no need to promise so much, but Shi Jingtang insisted on his own way with the support of Sang Weihan.

Yelu Deguang, who was worried about not having the opportunity to go south, was overjoyed. He immediately led his troops south from Yanmen Pass to rescue Shi Jingtang. Finally, he launched a surprise attack and defeated the Later Tang army, killing more than 10,000 people.

On the 11th day of the 11th month of the first year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Liao, Yelü Deguang, appointed Shi Jingtang as emperor, changed the reign title to Tianfu, and named the country Jin. The Khitan leader took off his clothes and bestowed the title on him.

Shi Jingtang then ascended the throne in Liulin.

Subsequently, Shi Jingtang ceded a large area of ​​territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitan.

Finally, the Later Tang Dynasty fell.

The time point of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms came to the period of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In addition, in addition to the change of dynasties in the Central Plains, some other important things happened.

For example, Xu Zhigao changed his name to Li Sheng and changed the country's name to Tang, which is known in history as Southern Tang, the restoration of Fujian to the Central Plains, the change of the Later Shu era name to Guangzheng, and the establishment of the Duan family Dali country, etc.

Among these important deeds, there was an event that had a major impact on the future world situation.

That’s right, the “Gaoliang River Car God” is finally born!

……

This day, early in the morning.

Chen Yun, who originally wanted to comprehend the third level of the technique, suddenly felt a palpitation inexplicably, as if something bad would happen if he continued to be "obsessed".

He suddenly came to his senses, "More haste, less speed. I'm too focused on improving my cultivation and neglecting my state of mind. I've become a little possessed."

Chen Yun knew that he could no longer comprehend it.

He decided to relax, like finding something to do.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the south, wanting to see how Zhao Kuangyin was doing.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yun looked strange.

He hasn't paid much attention to Zhao Kuangyin in recent years.

I never thought that the other party had left Luoyang with his parents and is now in Bianzhou.

The most crucial thing is that Zhao Guangyi was also born.

Chen Yun observed that Zhao Kuangyin's mother, Mrs. Du, seemed to have encountered war and was carrying two baskets on a shoulder pole.

Hiding in the baskets were the teenager Zhao Kuangyin and the infant Zhao Guangyi.

He counted with his fingers and roughly knew what had happened.

If Zhao Kuangyin had not hidden himself, he would most likely have been captured and forced to serve as a soldier.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin, who was already a teenager, was still hiding in the basket, allowing a weak woman like Du to carry him. Chen Yun frowned, "Zhao Kuangyin is in danger, no, I have to help him."

As he was thinking, his body gradually dissipated and suddenly appeared outside the city of Bianzhou, thousands of miles away.

……

Looking at the chaos ahead and the countless refugees fleeing.

Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh.

The people are prosperous and suffer.

If they die, the people will suffer.

As expected, it is the common people who suffer no matter what.

Suddenly, he noticed that a group of soldiers in front of him had surrounded part of the crowd, and Du was right in the crowd.

Chen Yun frowned. Now that he had attained immortality, he could not attack mortal soldiers.

He was just about to use his great power to move Du away.

Suddenly, Chen Yun noticed an old acquaintance not far away.

Upon seeing this person, Chen Yun's eyes moved, and he immediately sent out his thoughts, "Friend Chen Tuan, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

The middle-aged man dressed in half-Confucian, half-Taoist clothing suddenly looked towards Chen Yun.

He flashed in front of Chen Yun and asked tentatively: "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, who are you..."

Chen Yun smiled and looked at him. "I remember that I met you at the inn. Do you remember?"

Chen Tuan suddenly came to his senses and quickly bowed and said, "Chen Tuan greets Master Chen."

Chen Yun looked him up and down and said, "After not seeing you for decades, you have already cultivated to the middle stage of the leader realm. Not bad."

Hearing this, Chen Tuan smiled bitterly.

Thinking back to when he first met Chen Yun, the other party's cultivation level was slightly inferior to his.

Unexpectedly, decades later, Chen Yun had already achieved immortality.

However, Chen Tuan only cultivated to the middle stage of the leader realm.

At this moment, Chen Tuan felt that comparing himself with others would make him angry.

Chen Yun seemed to sense Chen Tuan's inner fluctuations and said softly: "Practice is to cultivate oneself, not to compare with others."

Chen Tuan suddenly came to his senses and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Teacher Chen, for your guidance."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Since you have received a favor from me, will you help me do something?"

Chen Tuan said: "Teacher Chen's order, Chen Tuan dare not disobey."

Chen Yun hummed, pointed at Mrs. Du in the crowd and said, "Do you see that woman in the crowd?"

Chen Tuan looked in the direction he pointed and said, "I see it."

Chen Yun said, "Her husband and I have a history. I cannot stand by and watch him die. But now that I have become an immortal, I cannot interfere in the affairs of mortals. Please go over and disperse the soldiers for me so that this woman can escape safely."

Chen Tuan stared at Madam Du with some doubt and said, "Teacher, I am quite proficient in the art of observation, why do I see such a strong aura of a true dragon in this woman?"

Chen Yun laughed dumbly and said, "Did you really see the true dragon spirit from this woman, and not from the two children in Luokuang?"

Chen Tuan looked carefully and found that it was indeed as expected.

Only then did he realize how big the gap was between himself and an immortal like Chen Yun.

Chen Tuan sighed in shame and immediately went over to carry out Chen Yun's task.

Chen Yun has been staring at that place.

It has to be said that Chen Tuan seemed to have made a great reputation in recent years. He did not use any tricks at all when he walked over. He just introduced himself to the soldiers and generals, which made them saluted respectfully and then left obediently.

When Du saw the soldiers dispersing, he did not flee immediately like the other refugees.

Instead, she came to Chen Tuan and thanked him, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life."

Chen Tuan laughed and said, "Don't say there is no emperor today, there are two real dragons on one shoulder."

After saying that, he turned around and returned to Chen Yun's side.

When Du passed by Chen Yun, she was about to leave.

Suddenly, she noticed that it was Chen Yun, and she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "I greet Chen Xian."

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin carefully poked his head out of the basket at the back, and shouted in surprise: "Chen Xuejiu, why are you here?"

Chen Yun first raised his hand to let Mrs. Du stand up, then looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said with a smile: "The scholar missed you a little, so he came to see you specially."

Zhao Kuangyin quickly jumped out of the basket and said warmly, "Chen Xuejiu, I haven't seen you for several years. I have mastered martial arts and I am no longer afraid of you complaining to my mother. If you dare to complain, I will beat you up!"

Chen Yun obviously didn't have time to complain to Mrs. Du.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Chen Yun's incarnation Chen Er who filed a complaint against Du.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin used an "intimate" tone, actually to express that he had grown a lot over the years, and he didn't really want to beat the "teacher".

then……

Well, Zhao Kuangyin was scolded by Du and slapped on the butt a few times.

Chen Yun and Chen Tuan both laughed out loud when they saw this. They all shook their heads, thinking that Zhao Kuangyin was a wonderful person.

It is certainly impossible for Chen Yun to be angry with Zhao Kuangyin. After all, the other party was once the Thunderbolt Immortal and he had benefited from him.

The two men ignored Zhao Kuangyin and left in a leisurely manner.

Zhao Kuangyin, who had been a little fierce just now, suddenly had his pupils dilated when he saw this scene, and then his head shrank involuntarily, and he no longer dared to speak as loudly as before.
