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

Chapter 524 Opportunities and risks coexist

In front of the palace.

Longnv Sanjiu, Gao Chen, Ding Xu and others all looked at Chen Yun with awe.

Zhang Ling, Sun Yan and others were fine. They had known Chen Yun for a long time and could be considered old friends. Even if they were in awe of him, at least they still had friendship and dared to talk to him for a few words.

As for Wu Qing and other old friends, it was the first time they saw Chen Yun. They also learned that he had now become an immortal. They stood there and didn't dare to talk to him, let alone breathe, as if they were afraid that their breathing would be too loud and disturb the immortal.

It wasn't just these old friends and their descendants who showed great awe.

After hearing Chen Yun admit that he was an immortal, the nearby cultivators who had not yet achieved immortality instinctively moved away.

These people came to Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven to seek wealth and search for natural treasures, not to offend the strong and commit suicide.

Outside, those who have achieved immortality may still be bound by the laws of heaven, but in the caves of Sun Moon Lake, they do not need to abide by the laws of heaven.

If Chen Yun got angry, except for those who were also immortals, the other 10,000 or 20,000 people present would probably not be enough for him to kill with just one finger.

After a brief chat about the past, Longnv Sanjiu, Gao Chen and the others did not dare to disturb Chen Yun's peace and quiet. They found a place to sit down and recuperate while waiting for the cave to open.

Chen Yun was still chatting with Niu Dali.

Niu Dali said enthusiastically, "Master Chen, do you and I want to explore the secrets of Maolan Mountain together?"

Chen Yun was stunned. "Maolan Mountain? Isn't that place very mysterious? It is said that once you go there, you can never come back. Even immortals dare not set foot there?"

As early as fifty years ago, he already knew the general structure of Sun Moon Lake in winter.

It is simply divided into three parts: "Lalu Island", "Sun and Moon Springs" and "Maolan Mountain".

Among them, Lalu Island is of land nature, which includes many places, such as mountains, ice and fire roads, etc.

There are many more places that Chen Yun did not explore the last time he came.

The Sun and Moon Springs belong to a body of water with many islands, making it more likely to produce powerful magic weapons and high-quality spiritual roots.

Only Maolan Mountain, Chen Yun had never even seen the terrain, and had no idea what was going on there. He heard everything from Qin Ming, Wu Kejiu and others.

Niu Dali was puzzled and asked, "Who told you this?"

Chen Yun said, "One of my disciples is called Qin Ming. You should have met him. He said that Maolan Mountain is extremely dangerous and there is no way back once you go there. Therefore, no one knows the situation."

Niu Dali laughed in silence and said, "Maolan Mountain is indeed extremely dangerous for mortals, and there is no return once you go there. But for those who want to become immortals, it is an opportunity."

Chen Yun became interested. "Oh, what opportunity?"

Niu Dali introduced carefully: "You have been to Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven before, you should know that this place is a part derived from Yingzhou Fairyland, and Maolan Mountain is the intersection of Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven and Yingzhou Fairyland, or in other words, it is the place where Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven, Yingzhou Fairyland and the heavens and myriad worlds are closely connected. There are all kinds of spiritual energy turbulence and storms over there, which can be said to be quite dangerous. If people who have not achieved immortality approach, they may be torn into pieces by the extremely powerful spiritual energy turbulence or storms. However, people who have achieved immortality are too strong. They only need to release immortal energy to protect their bodies and can completely ignore the spiritual energy turbulence and storms."

Chen Yun knew that Niu Dali was introducing useful information, so he listened carefully to what he said.

Niu Dali continued, "Opportunities and risks coexist. Although Maolan Mountain is filled with endless spiritual energy turbulence and storms, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth that can survive in it are all things that immortals dream of, such as Andrographis paniculata and Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma..."

Chen Yun interrupted, "Great Sage, are you saying that there are Andrographis paniculata and Nine-grade Ganoderma Lucidum in Maolan Mountain?"

"There are more than just Andrographis paniculata and Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma, there are all kinds of precious spiritual roots of heaven and earth, it all depends on whether you have the chance to encounter them." Niu Dali didn't know why Chen Yun asked this, so he told the truth: "Of course, since Maolan Mountain can breed such precious spiritual roots of heaven and earth, those spiritual beasts that can survive the spiritual turbulence and storms are also very powerful. You know the blood python, right?"

Chen Yun's mind moved, "I know about the blood python. It is a powerful spiritual beast comparable to the late stage of the human fairyland. Even a powerful blood python may be comparable to the immortals in the earth fairyland. In addition, in the areas where it is active, there is often a spiritual root of heaven and earth called 'blood python branch'."

Niu Dali nodded and said, "Yes, the birth of the blood python branch is because the blood python, a spiritual beast, needs to shed its skin many times. Each time it sheds its skin, it is quite difficult, and it needs to use an extremely hard branch, the 'Xuanmu', to rub against it. During the rubbing, the blood python may bleed, and the blood containing special spiritual energy in its body will merge with the 'Xuanmu' branch, thus giving birth to incredible medicinal power."

Huh?
Not only are there Andrographis paniculata and Nine-grade Ganoderma lucidum, but there may also be Blood Python Branches?

Before Chen Yun came, he had calculated that he only lacked ten medicinal herbs to make the Shen Hua Soup.

Now that I heard what Niu Dali said, it seemed possible for me to obtain three of them if I went to Maolan Mountain.

In addition, according to Niu Dali, there are countless magical spiritual roots of heaven and earth in Maolan Mountain, and the remaining seven medicinal herbs may also be there.

He thought that if he wanted to gather the herbs needed for the Huashen Decoction, he might have to go to Maolan Mountain. Thinking of this, Chen Yun decided to ask around and find out the specific information about Maolan Mountain so that he could collect the herbs himself.

He asked directly, "Besides the countless magical heavenly and earthly spiritual roots and powerful spiritual beasts in Maolan Mountain, are there any other dangers?"

"Yes!" Niu Dali said truthfully, "The biggest danger in Maolan Mountain is not the spiritual energy turbulence and storms, nor the powerful spiritual beasts, but the energy turbulence and storms, which may hide passages connecting to other worlds. If one is accidentally caught in them, it is possible to travel to other worlds. At that time, if one wants to break the world barrier and return to the original world, it will take a lot of mana. In fact, this is not terrible. After all, immortals still have the ability to break the world barrier."

Chen Yun asked: "Which aspect is really dangerous?"

Niu Dali showed a solemn look, "It's still the passages between different worlds. These passages may be invaded by the Chaos Qi from outside the world. That kind of extremely powerful Chaos Qi, not to mention us immortals in the human fairyland, even the earthly immortals and gods have to avoid it. Only the heavenly immortals have the ability to resist the violent Chaos Qi. Therefore, once someone is involved in the world passage filled with Chaos Qi, it is very likely that they will be strangled to death!"

As expected, opportunities and risks coexist.

Maolan Mountain does have many spiritual roots of heaven and earth, but it is also very dangerous.

Just as Chen Yun was deep in thought.

Niu Dali was still introducing the situation. "In addition, there are lives bred in the chaos itself. If these lives are not wiped out by the chaos, they are likely to become innate gods like Pangu who can create the world in the future. Of course, most of the lives in the chaos will be wiped out before they are born, but there are also some weak ones who may flow into the channels connecting the heavens and all worlds along with the chaotic energy. These seemingly weak lives in the chaos are actually all extremely powerful innate demons for us. The weakest one may be as powerful as a celestial being. Therefore, once you are involved in those world channels, the best way to save your life is to immediately find a way to enter one of the worlds at random, and then search for the way back. Don't stay in it for too long, otherwise we immortals will also perish."

The weakest innate demon god is equivalent to the celestial immortal realm?

Chen Yun had seen how powerful the celestial beings were. One of their moves could shake the heavens and the worlds.

He believed that if he encountered an innate demon god bred by chaos at this stage, he would surely be defeated and destroyed.

Chen Yun remembered this information firmly.

If I really go to Maolan Mountain to look for the spiritual roots of heaven and earth and encounter an emergency, this information can save my life!

At this point, Niu Dali glanced at Chen Yun and said, "Master, do you want to go to Maolan Mountain together?"

Chen Yun calculated his whereabouts and said, "I might go to Maolan Mountain, but not right away. You can explore it on your own first. I also want to search for something. When the time is right, I will go to Maolan Mountain with you."

Niu Dali smiled and said, "Okay, if you and I join forces, we should have no rivals in the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven. Moreover, although Maolan Mountain is dangerous, as long as we explore the periphery and do not go deep, there is actually not much danger. I went to the periphery of Maolan Mountain last time and explored the strength of the spirit beasts around. Most of them are similar to the early stage of the human fairyland, and some are even only in the late stage of the leader realm."

Chen Yun blinked and said, "Are there any spiritual roots of heaven and earth such as Andrographis paniculata and Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma in the periphery? Where is the blood python?"

Niu Dali recalled, "It seems that Andrographis paniculata and Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma can be searched in the periphery. I vaguely sensed them last time, but I was looking for other things at that time and did not go deep. As for the Blood Python, there is no blood python in the periphery. We need to go deeper into the area."

Chen Yun had a rough idea in his mind, "Okay, I will explore Lalu Island and Sun and Moon Spring for a month at most. After that, I will go to Maolan Mountain with you."

Niu Dali was overjoyed, "Then it's settled. When you're done with your work, just let me know."

Chen Yun agreed, but he was feeling emotional in his heart. At first he was worried that there was nothing he wanted in the Sun Moon Lake Cave.

Now, after listening to Niu Dali's introduction, he can finally put his mind at ease.

Whether it's the spiritual roots of heaven and earth that you need, or the natural treasures for refining weapons, it should be possible to find them in the cave.

He didn't have too many demands. As long as he could gather the materials for refining instruments and the spiritual roots of heaven and earth needed for the Divine Transformation Soup, he would have completed his mission of exploring the Sun Moon Lake Cave.

Oh, no, there is also that green lamp.

Chen Yun had been coveting that green lamp for a long time.

It’s just that my cultivation was too shallow before, so I couldn’t use the green lamp for my own benefit.

Now that he has cultivated to the late stage of the human immortal realm, he feels that his strength should be enough.

As long as he could get the green lamp, his chances of defeating Taoist Gou Teng would greatly increase.

Chen Yun remembered the location of the green lamp. According to his current strength, as long as he waits until the cave is opened, he can get there with just one teleport. Presumably, he can succeed quickly, right?

He did not discuss anything more with Niu Dali, but like Longnv Sanjiu and others, he found a quiet place to sit down and recuperate, waiting for the cave to open.
