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

Chapter 598: Late Earthly Immortal Realm

At night, at midnight.

In the quiet room, Chen Yunduan sat, sensing the medicinal power of the Shen Hua Decoction.

He had a hunch in the morning that the power of the medicine would elevate his strength level to the late stage of Earthly Immortal Realm.

Of course, it is only limited to strength, and the realm has not actually been improved.

Lines of medicinal power were born and circulated, circulating according to the fourth level of the "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique", transforming into wisps of Dan Qi, constantly increasing his strength.

"Logically speaking, now that I have reached the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, I can start trying to cultivate the Yang Spirit."

While sensing the power of the medicine, Chen Yun thought to himself, "However, I have never been able to achieve perfection in the fourth transformation of Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Art. It seems that I am still a little short of it."

He estimated that his strength level would be raised to the late Earthly Immortal Realm tonight, but he was not sure whether the late Earthly Immortal Realm would allow him to complete the fourth turn of Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique.

Chen Yun thought for a moment, shook off all distracting thoughts, and began to guide the "Qi" in his body to actively refine it.

Soon, his divine water reached his heart, exciting his divine fire. His five internal organs felt hot and his whole body was sweating. His four limbs felt comfortable and one. This was the divine water and divine fire nurturing his essence.

After gestation, the inner elixir will emit a thundering sound from under the ribs.

Chen Yun has been in the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm for some time, so he has naturally adapted to this situation.

At this moment, even though there was thunder rumbling under his ribs, he remained unmoved and continued to practice.

The amount of Dan Qi in his body is constantly increasing.

Suddenly, Chen Yun felt a stream of heat entering his dantian, and flames burst out of his nose.

In the past, when he practiced the fourth level of Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy, he would also have such a reaction, but it was just a stream of hot air entering his dantian, and the fire in his nose would not last long.

However, the situation was a little different this time. Chen Yun clearly felt that the heat flowing into his dantian this time was not real heat, but the repositioning of his golden elixir that had been fixed in his right rib.

Moreover, after the inner elixir returns to the dantian, the fire in the nose will not stop, as if there is a fire in the house.

A powerful force rose up, causing him to sublimate.

The next second, Chen Yun found that his perception had become magical, as if he could detect all the changes between heaven and earth.

Not only that, the countless living beings under his perception seemed to have formed a wonderful connection with him, allowing him to feel the good and evil of all living beings, as if he had telepathy.

Of course, Chen Yun knew that it was not his telepathy that gave him the ability to see through good and evil.

For example, at this moment, he saw Taoist Jiao studying Taoist scriptures in another room. He had a clear aura and could tell at a glance that he was very "kind".

Corresponding to this are the Nine-headed Bull Demon King and the Golden-eyed Hundred-eyed Ghost in the room next to the Taoist Jiao.

Extremely thick black clouds were hovering above the heads of these two peerless demons.

The most important thing is that flames are raging above the black clouds.

It was as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy the world at any time.

The gods like Erlang Shen and the Seven Saints of Meishan are another sight.

Chen Yun saw bursts of auspicious light from them, and their immortal energy was as ethereal as mist.

If it were just this, it wouldn't be enough to surprise him.

Chen Yun was surprised to find that he could actually use this magical perception to see everyone's "true identity".

Take the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King for example. In Chen Yun's magical perception, he appears as a bull that is eight hundred feet tall, a thousand feet long, and has nine ferocious bull heads.

The Golden-Eyed Ghost is about 130 to 150 feet tall, and seems to be made of black energy, but it continuously emits golden light.

The Taoist Jiao appeared in the form of a dragon. The difference from the first time Chen Yun saw him was that his real body had suddenly expanded from ten miles long to more than twenty miles. Two bulging bags appeared above his head, and it seemed that he was about to grow dragon horns and evolve into a real dragon.

As for Erlang Shen, the Seven Saints of Meishan and others, what they presented were Dharma images.

The appearances of Erlang Shen and the Seven Saints of Meishan are almost indistinguishable from real people, and there seems to be nothing good to see.

Nezha looks very different. His body is as big as Mount Sumeru. He is covered with tiger skin, has a thousand arms, and looks ferocious. He holds the sun, the moon, a halberd, a vajra stick, a sword, a pestle, a ball, a fire wheel and other magical instruments or weapons. He also wears a belt made of Naga dragons around his waist, which makes him look very mighty and brave.

Chen Yun was preparing to hold more observation sessions.

Suddenly, Erlang Shen's divine thoughts came, "Brother Chen, it is not good to use the great power to spy on our true bodies. Hurry up and restrain yourself, so as not to cause others to be unhappy."

Chen Yun knew that the others Erlang Shen was talking about were not him and the Seven Saints of Meishan, nor were they referring to Nezha, Li Jing and others, but the two peerless demons, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and the Golden-Eyed Hundred-Eyed Ghost.

Indeed, he saw from his magical perception that the two demons had unfriendly looks on their faces, and he knew that his eavesdropping had violated other people's taboos.

So, Chen Yun restrained his magical perception and sent a divine thought: "King Niu, King Jin, I am practicing my profound skills and I am not trying to spy on your true identity. Please bear with me."

The nine-headed Bull Demon King and the golden-eyed ghost looked better and responded one after another, "Nothing happened."

Chen Yun no longer used his magical perception to spy on other people's conditions.

He was enjoying the increase in strength, thinking to himself, "It seems that my soul has been improved again."

This was a little unbelievable to him, because normally, once one reached the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, it would be impossible to improve the realm any further. Unless the soul underwent a qualitative change and successfully attained the Divine Immortal Realm, it would be possible for it to become more powerful.

Chen Yun sensed that his power level should have been raised to the late stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and his soul would not grow any stronger. However, in fact, his soul did grow stronger.

This made him a little unsure, so he tried to let his spirit leave his body to see if he had really become stronger.

A stream of clear air emanated from his eyes, rose above his head, and transformed into a two or three foot tall spirit that was exactly the same as his real self.

As soon as Chen Yun thought about it, his soul instantly broke through the constraints of layer upon layer of space and actually descended into a small world!
The power of the primordial spirit was so strong that when it descended into this unknown small world, it immediately caused that small world to tremble slightly, as if it would be shattered.

When Chen Yun saw that something was not right, he used his mind to take back his soul.

As his soul returned to his body, he showed a thoughtful look, "My soul has indeed grown stronger, and from the posture just now, although it is not as strong as a true immortal, it has the qualifications to go to heaven and the underworld to serve as a god. In other words, now I have the conditions to become an immortal, but the strength of my soul is lacking compared to that of an immortal."

Well, according to the current situation, as long as I continue to strengthen my soul, I will be able to achieve the immortal realm sooner or later.

However, the cultivation of the primordial spirit by inner alchemy is somewhat different from the general mystical arts. It is not about directly strengthening the primordial spirit to achieve immortality, but about cultivating the yang spirit.

Chen Yun now has two paths to choose from.

First, directly strengthen the soul and achieve the immortal realm.

Second, refine the Yang God and attain the immortal realm.

He almost didn't think about it and immediately came to the conclusion, "Since I have practiced the Inner Alchemy Method, I must cultivate the Yang God."

Chen Yun finally understood why he had always felt that the fourth turn of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret" was not complete. It turned out that the real "realm" had not been successfully reached.

It is different now. With the rising power of the Shen Hua Decoction tonight, his entire "realm" has had a small breakthrough, and he has cultivated "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret" to a truly perfect realm.

In this way, he could figure out how to create the fifth level of Kung Fu in the days that followed.

As he thought about it, Chen Yun sensed that the medicinal power in his body was almost finished.

He slowly finished his training and rested.

After his body calmed down, Chen Yun slowly opened his eyes, feeling slightly happy in his heart, thinking to himself, "After eight or nine months of continuous refining of medicinal power, I have finally reached the late stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and my Yuanshen has also broken through the shackles. I have hope of becoming a god. Although I can't choose to directly strengthen my Yuanshen, this has greatly increased my strength. If I fight against Taoist Gou Teng, it will be easy to destroy him!"

Phew. Finally, before the great battle began, he broke through to the late stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, which made Chen Yun feel very happy.

"Now I just need to wait for the great battle to come, and then I can make achievements and accumulate enough merits for my mentor to rescue him from the prison."

Chen Yun closed his eyes and wandered in the universe, waiting for the great battle to come.

……

In the seventh year of Tianfu, after Shi Chonggui, the Emperor Chu of Later Jin, ascended the throne, he refused to pay tribute to the Khitan again, and the relationship between the two countries deteriorated.

Khitan Emperor Taizong Yelu Deguang claimed that the Jin court was ungrateful, announced it to the world, and led his troops south.

In the eighth year, under the persuasion of surrendered generals Yang Yuanguang and Zhao Yanshou, Yelu Deguang took advantage of the famine in the Central Plains and the exhaustion of Jin's national treasury to mobilize troops from Gui, Tan, Yun, Ying and other states behind the mountains, as well as troops from Lulong, and in December divided the troops into two routes and advanced southward.

On the eastern route, Zhao Yanshou led 50,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and Taizong himself led an army of more than 100,000 to follow, leaving Youzhou and heading towards Weizhou.

The Western route was led by King Wei, who led the Yun and Ying armies through Yanmen Pass and toward Taiyuan, in support of the main force of the Eastern route.

At this point, the Khitan marching route was exactly the same as Chen Yun's initial guess, almost accurate to every city.

Although the Khitan army moved swiftly, the previous large-scale military mobilization allowed the Later Jin Dynasty to quickly discover their movements.

Therefore, the Later Jin Dynasty sent people to build Nanle City and Deqing Military City, and mobilized nearby troops to guard against the Khitan's southward advance.

Because the war was about to break out, Chen Yun, Erlang Shen, Nezha and other gods joined the camp and prepared to help the Khitan destroy the Later Jin Dynasty.

They also divided their troops into two groups, one led by Chen Yun and the other led by Erlang Shen.

Among them, in addition to Chen Yun's disciples, there are also three powerful people named Nezha, Li Jing, and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King.

As for Erlang Shen, it is all the sacred things in Guanjiang Erlang Temple, plus the golden-eyed ghost,

The reason why the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and the Golden-Eyed Ghost were separated was because Erlang Shen was afraid that the two peerless demons would not obey his orders if they were together, and it would be difficult for him or Nezha to subdue the two demons alone.

During the past two or three months, Chen Yun discovered that although the Huashen Decoction still had some medicinal power, it was of little help to him.

It seems that creating the fifth level of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique" is an urgent matter.

Unfortunately, Chen Yun now has no time to study how to create the fifth level of martial arts, because a huge battle is about to begin.

In the first month of the ninth year, the eastern vanguard army led by Zhu Yanshou arrived at Beizhou, an important grain storage town of the Jin court.

Because they had come from afar, Zhu Yanshou did not immediately order an attack on the city. Instead, he had his soldiers set up camp, prepare to rest for a night, and observe the situation in the city first.

Chinese military tent.

Chen Yun, Li Jing and Nezha sat on the seats for advisers, while on the other side a large number of Khitan generals sat upright.

Zhao Yanshou, the commander of the vanguard army, was describing the situation in Beizhou City. "Beizhou is a strategic location on land and water, and it also stores all the food and grass that the Jin court uses to defend against the northern army. Once we can conquer it, the Jin court's defense line in the north will be basically useless. Therefore, this battle is particularly important. We can only win, not lose."

Chen Yun, Li Jing, Nezha and others listened attentively.

The same was true for all the other generals and advisers.

Zhao Yanshou introduced the information of the generals guarding the pass. "The general guarding Beizhou before was called Shao Ke. He was reported many times because of his brutal nature. Later, he was dismissed by Wang Lingwen, the governor of Yongqing. Although he is still in the city, he is no longer in charge of affairs. The general guarding Beizhou City now is Wu Luan, the former defense envoy of Fuzhou. He is a scholar who started as a staff member and then worked his way up to the defense envoy of Fuzhou. He is a truly capable person. Everyone, do you have any good ideas for breaking the city?"

A young general said, "General Zhao, I see that Beizhou City is located at a strategic location both on land and water. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It may not be easy to break the city."

Zhao Yanshou glanced at him and said, "If it were easy, what would we do?"

The young general remained silent.

Then several generals and counselors spoke.

It's just the same old siege tactics.

Things like ramming city gates, climbing city walls, charging formations, catapults, etc.

Chen Yun, Li Jing and Nezha listened in, and although they felt that the tactics were very simple, they never expressed their opinions.

Because their real goal is not to fight with ordinary troops, but to guard the sanctity of the city.

Chen Yun understood clearly that if he could not resolve the sacredness in Beizhou City, then even if the vanguard army led by Zhao Yanshou could win the war, they would probably not be able to move forward.

Not only can we not move forward, we may not even be able to enter the city.

Therefore, it is particularly important to repel the sacred garrison in the city.

……

After the meeting, the three of them came to the small tent where Chen Yun lived alone.

Inside, Niu Dali, Jiao Taoist, the Nine-headed Bull Demon King and a large group of people had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the three people coming back, they came forward to ask about the details of the situation.

Chen Yun did not talk about the matter immediately, but asked Li Jing and Nezha to sit down.

Then, he slowly said: "The battle between mortal armies has little to do with us. Do you know which monks or sacred guardians are in the city?"

Niu Dali immediately said, "Master Chen, I have asked someone to find out before. There are three immortals in Beizhou City. They are Taoist Gou Teng, General Zhao Da, one of the sixty Jiazi Tai Sui Star Lords, and Kui, one of the twenty-eight constellations."

Hearing this, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King's face changed, "Is Kui Su also in Beizhou City?"

Chen Yun automatically wondered why the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King's face changed drastically.

Because Kuixiu is considered to have strong martial power among the twenty-eight constellations, it is known as the first of the seven western white tiger constellations and is also one of the four wood bird stars.

Of course, this is not the main reason why the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King was frightened.

The main reason is that Kui Su is naturally good at defeating the nine-headed Bull Demon King, a herbivorous demon that has transformed into a spirit.

Perhaps in terms of martial arts strength, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King may be slightly inferior to Erlang Shen and Nezha, but he also has the ability to fight.

Judging from the strength on paper, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King is not afraid of Kui Su, but if a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid he won't dare to move at all and will be killed instantly by Kui Su.

Niu Dali nodded and said, "Yes, Kui Su is in Beizhou City."

Li Jing analyzed seriously, "There are three immortals in Beizhou City. Apart from the Taoist Gou Teng whose name I have never heard of, General Zhao Da and Kui Su are both powerful. We may have a fierce battle."

Chen Yun looked at Nezha. The always arrogant Third Prince remained silent for the first time.

It can be seen that Nezha seems to be a little afraid of General Zhao Da and Kui Su.

To be honest, Chen Yun did not have a clear understanding of how powerful General Zhao Da and Kui Su were, after all, he had never met them.

However, when he heard that his enemy, Taoist Gou Teng, was in the first city where he led the army to fight, he immediately had an idea and wondered whether he should find an opportunity to fight and kill old man Gou Teng in one fell swoop to vent his hatred.

Chen Yun pondered secretly, "Now I have the strength of the late Earthly Immortal Realm, and Taoist Gou Teng is in the middle Earthly Immortal Realm. If I don't consider the issue of magic weapons, I can kill him in an instant."

Well, as long as Taoist Gou Teng dares to fight in the next war, I will definitely beat him to pieces!
As the saying goes, enemies are jealous when they see each other.

When Chen Yun learned that Taoist Gou Teng was in Beizhou City, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge.

He had no grudges against the other party, yet he managed to escape death several times, all thanks to Gou Teng and Xingxiuhai.

It is impossible to say that Chen Yun did not have a temper.

He looked towards Beizhou City, and he seemed to be impatient to start the war and settle decades of grievances with his own hands!
