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

Chapter 640 Provocation
The underworld is a strange "world".

There is no light here, but it is not so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you.

Wisps of fog similar to gray air currents filled the air, giving people a lifeless feeling.

Chen Yun had been to the underworld several times and knew that there was no sun, moon, or stars here, and no living things grew.

Although there are mountains and rivers here, those mountains are thousands of times more desolate than the Dahei Mountain in Chen Yun’s hometown. The "water" in the river is like dead, with no flow seen. Moreover, the color of this "water" is strangely dark and thick. At first glance, it looks like oil, but a closer look reveals that it is much thinner than oil.

Desolate, cool and lonely.

The endless gray plain makes people feel extremely dead silent.

Chen Yun, Erlang Shen, Changshengtian, Changmei Daxian and a group of eight people were moving forward rapidly.

In a breath, the immortals floated hundreds of light years away and were heading towards the Jiuyou battlefield.

While Black Mother, Mr. Hu San and his wife, Qishou Tiannv and others were floating in the air, their bodies were surrounded by immortal energy, and they were resisting the corrosion of the underworld.

Not to mention them, even Erlang Shen, who practiced the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" and had an extremely strong body and a cultivation level infinitely close to the sacredness of the celestial fairyland, was surrounded by immortal energy at this moment.

Everyone knows that the underworld is completely different from the world of the living and the fairyland.

This is the world of the dead, and those gray air currents will corrode all tangible and material substances.

It’s fine for everyone’s soul to enter, but now that everyone’s physical body is entering, they naturally have to release immortal energy to resist.

The different thing is that Chen Yun did not release any immortal energy.

It was as if he was not afraid of the gray air currents in the underworld that could corrode everything.

This was due to the fact that he had cultivated the Yang God, which allowed him to ignore the corruption of the underworld.

In addition, it is almost impossible for Chen Yun's soul to enter the underworld.

Otherwise, when the light of the Yang Spirit shines, the ghosts in the underworld will immediately evaporate, and their souls will be truly scattered, and they will never be able to be reincarnated.

In the blink of an eye, the immortals crossed a distance of billions of light years, but still failed to reach their destination.

The goddess could not help but send her divine thoughts and ask, "Ancestor, when can we reach the secret realm?"

The Immortal Changmei didn't even turn his head and responded, "When we reach the Jiuyou battlefield, we will be close to the secret realm."

This sentence seems to be nonsense. After all, no one knows when they will arrive at the Jiuyou battlefield.

However, Chen Yun heard another meaning and realized that the Immortal Changmei was revealing the connection between the secret realm and the underworld.

He remembered that Wang Laozhi once said that the underworld was different from the world of the living. It was an independent world that encompassed all things in the underworld and transcended everything in the heavens and the worlds, including space and time.

Therefore, the ghosts seen in the underworld are not only from the timeline or world they are in, but may also be ghosts from endless parallel worlds or other timelines.

The future, present, past, and all the heavens and worlds are like this.

All things dissipate and come to the underworld, experiencing a new cycle of reincarnation and rebirth.

In short, the underworld is not part of the heavens and myriad worlds.

Chen Yun vaguely understood why the Great Immortal Changmei was able to discover the secret realm leading to other worlds that were being conceived in the underworld. It was very likely that there was some connection between the underworld and chaos.

He was thinking about one thing. If he could figure out the connection between the underworld and chaos, would it mean that he could understand a higher level of "Dao Fruit" than Daluo?

Just as I was thinking about it, there were suddenly bursts of earth-shaking explosions coming from the front.

Chen Yun looked ahead intently, and saw black fog rolling over there, almost covering the sky and the earth. Countless demons with bared fangs and claws were laughing strangely in it.

These are minor monsters, nothing noteworthy.

What is worth noting is that there are six immortals in the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm in front, besieging a beautiful demon king.

Chen Yun had seen this demon king before.

That’s right, it was the person he, Master Liu, Master Huang, Niehe and others had besieged.

The scene at that time was so similar to this moment, with five or six people besieging the demon king but being defeated.

In the end, it was Chen Yun who relied on the power of the "Law of Killing" to kill and destroy the opponent's projection.

Today, this demon king is still a projection, and the strength he displays is still at the top of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Moreover, just like last time, the Demon King defeated all the heroes by himself.

Those six earthly immortals are all fighting desperately!
On the left, the earth immortal dressed as a woodcutter, a four-headed, eight-armed statue emerged from the auspicious clouds.

The charming woman Qingyun in the front left is depicted with a peony flower.

On the right side, a Buddhist image of a wrathful Vajra rises from the auspicious cloud of an old man-like earthly immortal.

There were three others who also each emitted a cloud of celebration from their primordial spirits.

Or a ferocious tiger that is thousands of feet tall.

Or the towering paulownia tree.

Or maybe a big white goose flapping its wings that are ten or twenty thousand feet long.

Unfortunately, although these earthly immortals tried their best, they were still trembling under the suppression of the endless black energy mobilized by the Demon King, and it seemed that they might die at any time.

The demon king, who had the upper hand, was bursting with flames and lightning all over his body, as if he was about to deliver a fatal blow.

Suddenly, the Demon King seemed to sense something, and looked towards Chen Yun in confusion, saying in a lost voice: "It's you!?"

The spirits of the immortals from all over the earth came over to look.

Chen Yun ignored the Demon King and flicked his fingers. A ray of Yang God light burst out from his fingertips.

At first, this ray of light was only the size of a grain of rice, but it flew very fast. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of thousands of light years and suddenly attached itself to the black fog of the Demon King.

Immediately, the light shone brightly and the golden light was blazing.

This golden light lasted for less than a moment.

However, after it dissipated, there was no trace of the devil anywhere.

Thousands of little demons also disappeared.

All that was left were the Origin Beads scattered all over the ground.

Upon seeing this, the six earthly immortals were all moved and bowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you Gao Zhen for your help."

"May I ask who this Immortal is? I will definitely come to your house to express my gratitude in the future."

Chen Yun continued to float forward rapidly with Erlang Shen, Changmei Daxian and others, leaving only a divine thought to respond: "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhenren Zhengyang from Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain."

After saying this, he and the other immortals traveled across a distance of hundreds of light years and completely disappeared from the sight of this group of earthly immortals.

The charming woman looked in the direction where Chen Yun disappeared and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turns out that Chen Gaozhen, who achieved the immortal fruit last year, is so powerful."

The other five earthly immortals all nodded slightly in agreement, their eyes filled with reverence.

Last year, Chen Yun achieved immortality, and his Yang Shen light illuminated the heavens and the worlds. Of course, this group of earthly immortals knew about it, but they really didn't expect to have the honor of seeing it today. For a time, the earthly immortals were filled with emotion, and hoped that they could achieve immortality as soon as possible.

……

Chen Yun didn't know what those earthly immortals were thinking.

Before, he had encountered a demon king in the outside world who was comparable to the early stage of the immortal realm, and he did not feel much when he destroyed him.

Just now, he encountered the demon king who had once saved himself, Master Liu, Master Huang and other immortals from death, and killed him easily. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was indeed many times stronger than before.

After Chen Yun achieved the status of Earth Immortal, he once analyzed his own strength. Without using any magic weapon, he still had no confidence in defeating the female demon king. However, now, with just a little light, he was able to defeat the opponent. His strength was truly incomparable.

After sighing for a while, everyone traveled across billions of light years.

Finally, we arrived at a place where the gray air flow was particularly dense.

The Immortal Changmei suddenly stopped and said, "Everyone, this is the Jiuyou battlefield where the great war between gods and demons once broke out."

Chen Yun looked around and didn't find anything special.

However, he knew that since he had arrived at the Jiuyou battlefield, he should be not far from the secret realm.

Changshengtian asked: "Ancestor, shall we rush to the secret realm now?"

The Immortal Changmei put his hands behind his back and said, "Wait a moment, I will go and subdue a few demons."

After saying that, he disappeared here.

Chen Yun was not in a hurry at all. He just hovered in the air and waited.

Erlang Shen, Heima Mama, Changshengtian, Qishou Tiannv and Mr. Hu San and his wife were constantly looking around, as if trying to find the secret place.

Changshengtian suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, did Patriarch Changmei forget to tell us something?"

Mama Hei was startled, "Why didn't you tell us?"

Changsheng Tiandao: "The power of law."

Chen Yun understood what he meant.

Changshengtian’s general meaning is that the power of the laws that everyone masters is blessed by the great way of this world, and is not applicable in the secret realm.

For example, if you already understand the power of a certain law, you can borrow strength from the Tao and use the power of that law.

It’s different when you enter the secret realm. There is no great way of this world there, so naturally you cannot borrow the power of the laws of the great way.

However, magic weapons are not affected by this because they contain innate spiritual energy, which is equivalent to embedding the power of the law into them.

The simplest analogy is that borrowing the power of the law is like Alipay, which you can only use within a limited scope, while the magic weapon is gold, which you can use anywhere.

Chen Yun suddenly became curious. Could he use the power of the laws of "killing" and "trapping" condensed by his innate spiritual energy in the secret realm?

When he exerted the power of the laws of "killing" and "trapping", he did not borrow the power of the laws of the Tao, but used his innate spiritual energy to simulate the laws of the Tao, and then used the power of the laws.

Chen Yun didn't know for the time being, but he could hear the provocation in Changshengtian's words.

It's a very simple truth. Although the immortal realm has the qualifications to comprehend the power of laws, generally only the gods with extremely high comprehension abilities have the hope to comprehend the power of laws in the immortal realm and then use it. The vast majority of immortals are incapable of mobilizing the power of laws.

Therefore, it is quite natural that Changmei Daxian did not tell everyone about this matter. If you don’t know it, I will tell you something.

As for the sacred being who can mobilize the power of laws, it is impossible for him not to understand the limitations of the power of laws. Needless to say, he also knows that it cannot be used in the Chaos Secret Realm.

Changshengtian took the initiative to mention this matter. If this isn't an attempt to instigate something, what could it be?
Chen Yun simply pretended not to hear and did not respond at all.

Erlang Shen has a relatively good temper. "Master Changshengtian, please don't think too much. The Long-Eyebrow Patriarch may have forgotten about it, so he didn't mention it."

Changshengtian seemed to be very green tea and said: "Yes, I thought too much and didn't consider the ancestor."

Black Mama, Qishou Tiannv and Mr. and Mrs. Hu San didn't respond, and no one knew what they were thinking.

After waiting for about an incense stick of time, the Long-browed Immortal came back.

As soon as he came back, he pointed to a mountain ahead that was somewhat similar to the Great Black Mountain and said, "My fellow Taoists, the secret passage is over there. Please follow me."

"good."

"Thank you for leading the way, old ancestor."

Chen Yun and others responded.

……

After a while, everyone arrived in the mountains.

The immortal Changmei led the way in front, but he did not fly, but walked quickly.

Chen Yun was a little confused at first, but after asking around, he learned that there are special "rules" of the underworld here. One cannot use any power that is not from the underworld, otherwise one will be quickly eroded by the power of the underworld, and even have one's body decayed.

So the group had to walk.

Chen Yun, Erlang Shen and others were able to cultivate to the immortal realm. Their bodies were extremely strong, and even when they were running on foot, they were still extremely fast, at least not less than the speed of light.

As a result, they walked at such a fast speed that it took them a day and a night, which was almost the same as a day and a night in the mortal world, before they arrived at the depths of a canyon.

Chen Yun vaguely knew why the other gods had not discovered the secret realm.

After all, there is no way to use immortal energy near this mountain. Who would walk nearly a light day's distance in this desolate place like the underworld relying on their mortal body for no reason?

If there is, I can only say that I am just bored.

As for how Changmei Daxian discovered it, Chen Yun had no idea. He estimated that it was most likely because he had nothing better to do. As the leader of the earthly immortals in Northeast China, he did not have so much free time.

At this time, everyone was standing beside a pond that looked like a black spring.

There is no water in this pond, only black air gushing out.

Chen Yun tried to identify them for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what these black air currents were.

The Immortal Changmei pointed at the pond and said, "The passage to the secret realm is in it. These are the air currents generated by the interaction of the energy of chaos and the energy of the underworld. They are very corrosive. Even an immortal body cannot stay here for a long time, otherwise it will be corroded into bones. We cannot use the immortal energy here, so when we enter later, we must rely on the strength of our physical bodies to quickly fall to the bottom. As long as we pass through the black mud at the bottom, we will enter the secret realm."

"good."

"Then I'll wait and enter."

Qishou Tiannv and Mr. and Mrs. Hu San seemed to want to reach the secret realm as quickly as possible, so they seemed a little anxious.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you one last thing about the secret realm." The Immortal Changmei stopped everyone and said seriously, "After entering the secret realm, you must not try to mobilize the power of the 'laws', including the use of magic weapons. Otherwise, if we are sensed by the origin of the world that is being nurtured, it is very likely that we outsiders will be crushed into dust. We can only use our own power in the secret realm. Everyone must remember this."

Hearing this, Chen Yun, Hei Mama, and Mr. Hu San and his wife all looked towards Changshengtian with a smile on their faces.

Changshengtian suddenly looked embarrassed. He was just instigating things behind the scenes, but he didn't expect that the Long-browed Immortal had no secrets and told him the most noteworthy things in the secret realm at the last moment. His behavior just now was really like judging others by his own standards, so he was naturally embarrassed.

Chen Yun didn't pay much attention to these.

He only wants to know one thing now, what does the secret realm look like?
