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

Chapter 638: What happens one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years later?
In the afternoon, visit Erlang Temple in Guanjiang.

Chen Yun came here riding on the tiger spirit's mount and met Erlang Shen under the leadership of Guo Yazhi.

It was still the same farmyard as before, and the Six Saints of Meishan, including Erlang Shen, Marshal E, King Da, Zhou Cang, Sayin Kun and the Yellow-haired Boy, were all there.

"Second brother, brothers."

"Brother Chen, you are here."

"Brother Chen, sit down and talk."

Erlang Shen, Da Wang and others responded.

Chen Yun sat down on the bench that Xian Tong had brought over and asked casually, "How is Brother Sanlang?"

Sayinkun smiled bitterly and said, "Not very optimistic. Now King Jin is using Dafa to extend his life."

Erlang Shen, Guo Yazhi, the yellow-haired boy and others all looked gloomy.

They are sworn brothers and are loyal people.

Huashan Sanlang's life or death was uncertain, so everyone was naturally worried.

Chen Yun did not immediately explain his purpose, but asked: "Is there any magic medicine that can save Brother Sanlang's life?"

Erlang Shen seemed to have figured out something and answered directly: "If you want to save Sanlang, you need the core of the blue lotus that grows in the chaos."

Hearing this, Chen Yun frowned slightly. He naturally understood what the spiritual root of heaven and earth that Erlang Shen was talking about was. It was the legendary Chaos Green Lotus.

There is a lotus pod inside the green lotus.

There are lotus seeds inside the lotus pod.

There is a lotus core inside the lotus seed.

This thing contains enormous innate spiritual energy.

If an ordinary person takes it, it is possible for him to become an immortal instantly.

A cultivator who possesses the lotus heart of the Chaos Green Lotus may be able to comprehend the profound principles of the Dao from it and thus ascend to the Half-Step Daluo stage in one fell swoop.

This shows how precious this item is.

In addition, although there is an ingredient in his "Refining the Spirit and Returning to Emptiness Soup" called Chaos Fire Lotus, which sounds very similar to the name of Chaos Green Lotus, they are actually completely different.

The Chaos Green Lotus grows in chaos.

The Chaos Fire Lotus does not grow in chaos.

It is just shaped like the Chaos Green Lotus, but it also looks like a burning flame, so it is called the Chaos Fire Lotus.

Chen Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Brothers, Brother Erlang and I have something to discuss privately. I wonder if you can..."

Guo Yazhi said straightforwardly: "It just so happens that I still have some official business to deal with, you two can chat first."

Da Wang also stood up and said, "By the way, we are out of wine at home. Do you want to go to the city together?"

The yellow-haired boy laughed and said, "I'm craving for alcohol. Let's go buy some wine."

Marshal E, Zhou Cang and others all found excuses to leave.

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

Erlang Shen knew that Chen Yun might have something important to discuss in private, so he simply used a magic spell to cover the surroundings with fog.

Immediately, he looked at Chen Yun seriously and said, "Brother, you have sent everyone away. Do you have a way to rescue Sanlang, but it is inconvenient to discuss it in detail in front of everyone?"

"That's right." Chen Yun nodded slightly and asked, "I wonder if Brother Erlang knows that there is a secret realm in the chaos that is nurturing a new world but has not yet taken shape?"

Unowned secret places like this are usually huge secrets.

Changmei Zhenren asked Heimaimama, Mr. Hu San, and Qishou Tiannv to invite him to go with them, revealing this secret which was already very rare.

Naturally, Chen Yun would not make a fuss about it outside and let the whole world know about it.

Erlang Shen was shocked. "Of course I know, but in the Primal Chaos there is neither time nor universe. Nothing exists and nothing can be seen. Immortals who fall into it will be reduced to ashes in an instant. The invisible and intangible Primal Chaos Qi can erode immortals' ten thousand years of hard work and turn them into ashes. Therefore, even the Heavenly Immortals may not dare to explore the Primal Chaos. Only the Half-Step Daluo may try it. On the other hand, if a Half-Step Daluo goes to the Primal Chaos, at most he can search for some Chaos treasures at the edge of the world and dare not go deep. Naturally, he cannot know whether there is a new world being nurtured in the infinite or even infinitesimal Chaos. How do you know that there is a new world being nurtured?"

Chen Yun did not reveal all the information, and said: "I don't know if this secret realm really exists, but a Taoist friend said that he found a secret realm that leads directly to the Primal Chaos, and came to Qingcheng to invite me to explore it together. I thought that such a magical secret realm might have miraculous healing medicines that can save Brother Sanlang's life, so I came to ask Brother Er if he is willing to explore it with me."

Erlang Shen said solemnly, "Although this secret realm is extremely dangerous, I am willing to go as long as there is hope of saving Sanlang's life. However, I want to confirm one thing: is the information you received reliable?"

Chen Yun said: "It should be reliable."

Erlang Shen said: "If so, I will go with you. However, there are usually Chaos Demon Gods in such secret places. I need to prepare some treasures to prevent you from dying in them."

Chen Yun quickly added: "It's okay to prepare the treasure, but we only have three days. Also, only you and I can go, and you can't bring anyone else. Also, don't let the news leak out."

Erlang Shen said, "I know, dear brother, don't worry, I will not tell anyone about this matter. I will meet you at Da Mian Peak in three days."

Chen Yundao: "Good."

……

Return to Da Mian Feng.

Chen Yun called Zhang Qian, Lin Chen and Taoist Jiao, and asked them to discipline their disciples.

Immediately afterwards, he went to talk to the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King in person to prevent the other party from causing trouble later.

At last, at about nightfall, he reached the bedroom.

At this moment, Wang Siyan had just finished dinner and was reading "Huangting" under the lamp.

When she saw Chen Yun coming in, she quickly put down the book in her hand, stood up and said, "Brother Yun, do you want to rest? I'll serve you."

Chen Yun walked up to her, took her hand, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll sit down and chat with you for a while."

Wang Siyan sat down obediently, opened her eyes wide and said, "Okay, what do you want to talk about, Brother Yun?"

Chen Yun reached out and stroked her slightly graying left temple, and his thumb touched the crow's feet at the corner of her eye. "You have aged a lot over the years."

When Wang Siyan mentioned this, her expression was gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "I am nearly eighty years old. If I were a mortal, I would have already been buried. It is rare for me to maintain this appearance. I dare not ask for anything else."

Chen Yun held the back of the other person's hand and asked, "How confident do you think you are in achieving enlightenment and becoming an immortal?"

Wang Siyan shook her head and said, "To be honest, I don't think I can achieve immortality in this lifetime."

Chen Yun laughed dumbly and said, "If you don't become an immortal, how can you accompany me through the end of time?"

Wang Siyan forced a smile, with a lot of sadness on her face, and seemed to be worried about this matter.

Chen Yun looked at her helpless expression, knowing that she had very limited talent. Even if he gave her many precious spiritual roots of heaven and earth, she would never be able to achieve immortality.

Although he did not formally marry Wang Siyan, the two of them had been together for decades, and were no different from a formal couple.

Naturally, Chen Yun didn't want Wang Siyan to run out of life and fall into reincarnation one day.

In his mind, the most important people are his parents, mentor, Wang Siyan, Zhang Qian and Lin Chen.

Needless to say, the grace of parents in giving birth to their children is as great as the sky.

Unfortunately, Chen Yun's parents were both mortals and died in their early years.

There is no need to mention his mentor. Chen Yun entered the Ningyang Cave Temple in Zhongnan Mountain at the age of sixteen and became a disciple of his mentor at the age of seventeen.

The other person was like a father to him. Now that he is in prison, he tries every means to save him.

As for Zhang Qian, Lin Chen, and Chen Yun, although they are brothers with different surnames, they are truly as close as brothers.

The brotherhood between them over the decades is extremely strong, and he is the one he wholeheartedly wants to protect.

Finally, there is Wang Siyan. Chen Yun has been married to her for decades and has long regarded her as a close relative.

Now Chen Yun is going to explore the Chaos Secret Realm, which is extremely dangerous. He might encounter an awakened Chaos Demon, and then he is very likely to die.

Therefore, Chen Yun had to ensure one extremely important thing before going to the Chaos Secret Realm.

That is, if he really died in the secret realm, could Zhang Qian, Lin Chen and Wang Siyan rely on their own practice to achieve immortality.

Before this, he had chatted with Zhang Qian and Lin Chen, and knew that although their progress in cultivation was not fast, their foundation was solid and their probability of becoming immortals was very high. As long as he left some spiritual roots behind, these two people might have the hope of cultivating and becoming immortals in a few decades.

Only Wang Siyan, although her talent is not inferior to that of ordinary people, cannot be compared with a true genius.

Therefore, even though she had the Qi-control technique taught by her mentor, her progress in practice was always very slow and the possibility of her achieving enlightenment and becoming an immortal was very small.

After thinking it over, Chen Yun decided to find a way to help the other party live longer.

Wang Siyan remained silent for a long time. She was reluctant to leave Chen Yun for reincarnation, but she had poor talent and was busy with all the affairs of the Taoist temple on weekdays, wasting a lot of time for practice. Now her hope of practicing to become an immortal is very slim.

This made her secretly sad, and she didn't know how to respond to Chen Yun's words.

Chen Yun saw through it and held her hand tightly. "Sister Yan, I originally wanted you to cultivate yourself and become an immortal. That way, you would have many magical powers and would not be afraid of demons and monsters. But now your hope of becoming an immortal is slim. I am thinking of using other methods to help you achieve immortality. I wonder if you are willing to accept it. I will explain to you in advance that if you use other methods to achieve immortality, your life span may increase to one era, that is, 129,600 years, but immortality through external forces itself does not have great magical power. Think carefully before answering me."

Wang Siyan suddenly asked back, "Husband...can I call you that?"

Chen Yun understood what the other party meant. He had not formally married her, so he had never used the terms "husband" or "wife".

He nodded gently and said, "You and I are Taoist companions, why can't we call each other husband and wife?"

Wang Siyan smiled sweetly, "Well, I will call you husband from now on."

Chen Yun smiled and tried to comfort the other person, saying, "Madam, you can call me that."

Wang Siyan was even happier when she heard that Chen Yun was willing to call her "wife". "That's great, husband. I want to ask you something."

Chen Yun said: "Please speak."

Wang Siyan asked: "Now that you have achieved immortality, how long will you live?"

Chen Yun spoke truthfully: "As long as they are not affected by external forces and fall, they can almost live as long as the heaven and earth."

Wang Siyan asked again, "How long is the life span of heaven and earth?"

How many years is the life span of heaven and earth?

To be honest, if it was on Earth in his previous life, Chen Yun could confidently and boldly tell the other party that the lifespan of heaven and earth was billions of years.

But in this world of Taoist mythology, he really didn't know the limit of the lifespan of heaven and earth.

Chen Yun pondered for a moment and replied, "The Taoist scriptures say that there are five calamities in the universe, namely Longhan, Chiming, Kaihuang, Shanghuang and Yankang. Each ancestral calamity is 4.1 billion years apart. Therefore, if there are no accidents, I should be able to live for 4.1 billion years."

Wang Siyan suddenly said something that made people think deeply, "With the help of my husband today, I can extend my life by 129,600 years. What happens after that? As long as the heaven and earth last, the immortals will still be born and die. Only the immortal fruits can live forever with the heaven and earth."

After these words were spoken, Chen Yun fell into deep thought.

Yes.

Even if I let Wang Siyan take the elixir of immortality given to me by the Golden Mother Ancestor today, and extend her life by 129,600 years, what will happen then?

I have an infinite lifespan, and it is impossible for the other person to accompany me through these long years.

Even if you don't achieve immortality, there will come a day when you will ascend to heaven.

Immortals can prolong their lives by taking the elixir of immortality, and it will not have much impact on themselves.

However, for those who have not yet attained immortality, although taking the elixir of immortality may extend their lifespan for an era, they will not be able to cultivate themselves afterwards, which is equivalent to locking their lifespan for 129,600 years.

In this way, it is only a matter of time before Wang Siyan passes away.

By then, after a relationship of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years, can I really accept the other person's death?

Chen Yun felt a little confused.

Wang Siyan said softly: "Husband, it is my life's luck to be able to hold hands with you in this life. I dare not ask for anything else."

Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh, "Well, then you'd better practice hard, hoping to become a god one day."

Wang Siyan said: "Yeah."

Chen Yun did not try to persuade them any more, but was thinking secretly that he must obtain spiritual roots that could allow people to at least become immortals, so as to help Wang Siyan, Zhang Qian, Lin Chen and others to survive at least one ancestral calamity like himself.

Although he didn't know whether he could obtain such a precious spiritual root, at least he had a goal for this exploration of the secret realm.

……

Three days later, Chen Yun met Erlang Shen in Qingcheng Mountain.

The two did not rush to Jiuding Tiesha Mountain, but stood on the top of Damei Peak and looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers.

Erlang Shen took out a talisman from his sleeve that was neither gold, jade, nor paper. "My dear brother, accept this."

Chen Yun took it and asked, "What is this?"

Erlang Shen said, "This is a life-replacing talisman. It was given to me by the Purple Star Emperor for my great merit in subduing demons and monsters. It contains a law of heaven and earth that can replace my own death."

After listening to the introduction, Chen Yun reached out and returned the life-saving talisman, "Second brother, you keep this talisman. I have my own secret method to save my life."

Erlang Shen was stunned. "Can your secret method of saving life be compared with this talisman?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "It should be possible."

He did not tell Erlang Shen that the old Buddha once poured the most precious treasure of Buddhism, "real gold", into his own body, so that even if his body and soul were destroyed, he could still be resurrected.

This was Chen Yun's last resort to save his life, so naturally he would not tell anyone.

However, he learned from Erlang Shen's words just now that the other party might have some knowledge of the secret realm and was already prepared to die, so he even took out the "life-saving talisman" bestowed by Ziwei Emperor.

The reason why Erlang Shen gave such a precious treasure to himself was also because of his loyalty.

The other party is so loyal, Chen Yun definitely cannot accept the "life talisman" just because it is precious.

Anyway, I have the means to save my life, so why should I covet other people’s life-saving treasures?
Although Chen Yun did not accept the "life-saving talisman", he had already felt a sense of pressure before he arrived at Jiuding Tiesha Mountain. He knew that the risk of exploring the Chaos Secret Realm this time might be very high.

Chen Yun looked at the sea of ​​clouds vaguely and said softly, "Second brother, let's go to Jiuding Tiesha Mountain."

Erlang Shen said: "Good."

After saying that, the two figures gradually faded away and disappeared on the top of Damian Peak.

Although the future may be extremely dangerous, the risks are often proportional to the rewards.

Therefore, even though Chen Yun knew that this exploration of the Chaos Secret Realm was extremely dangerous, he still went there without hesitation.
