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

Chapter 696 Hatred is like a knife, it hurts others before hurting yourself
"Without killing me, do you have a way to break the formation?"

Luo Hou Zhenjun laughed dumbly and said, "Master Chen, don't blame me for being good at talking. You can either kill me to break the formation, or ask the great god transformed by the innate qi to come and break the formation. Otherwise, there is absolutely no third possibility. Everyone in this world has evil thoughts in their hearts. If there are evil thoughts, they cannot break my formation. What can you do?"

Chen Yun looked at the rolling black qi with a calm face and said, "You will know it later. I'm leaving now."

After saying this, he turned around and left the Rāhu formation without looking back.

The moment Chen Yun left, the entire formation returned to its original calm.

There is no longer any black energy, and it seems very stable and peaceful.

Luohou Zhenjun stood in front of the chopping board, looking at Chen Yun's back at the exit.

He shook his head involuntarily. "This Chen Pu is taking things for granted. I can't even break the Luohou formation myself, let alone him?"

Lord Luohou did not take it seriously and continued to sit in the formation waiting, wanting to see what Chen Yun could do.

……

outside.

Chen Yun returned to the crowd.

When everyone saw him coming back, they immediately gathered around him.

"Master Chen, have you broken the formation?"

"Why do I see black energy still flowing in the formation? Could it be that the formation has not been broken?"

"That's impossible. Even with the help of the Pure Yang Sword and the Haotian Sword, they can't break the formation. How can we break it?"

A group of people were talking at once.

Chen Yun looked at the expressions of the crowd and responded calmly: "I am incompetent and cannot break this formation."

"Alas, it is as expected." Lord Ma said helplessly, "This Luohou formation is too strange. As long as there is evil in one's heart, it cannot be broken. Although Master Chen is a master of Taoism, he is still a human being after all. It is impossible for him to be free of evil thoughts. It is natural that he cannot break this formation."

Li Jing nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it is impossible for anyone to be free of evil thoughts. It is a blessing in disguise that Chen Zhenren did not perish in it. It seems that if we want to break this Luohou formation, we have to think of other ways."

Although Guan Erye, Erlang Shen, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and others did not say anything, they also thought so in their hearts.

Only Lu Dongbin was interested and asked, "Junior brother, do you have a way to break the formation?"

Tieguai Li looked at Chen Yun and smiled without saying a word, as if he saw through something.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Brother, how do you know that I have come up with a solution?"

Lu Dongbin said: "You haven't returned your Pure Yang Sword to me yet, which means you still want to break the formation, or you want this Pure Yang Sword to protect someone."

He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi and others suddenly realized.

Indeed.

The Pure Yang Sword is Lu Dongbin's magic weapon.

Logically speaking, Chen Yun should have returned it immediately since he did not break the formation, but in fact he did not.

This shows that the Pure Yang Sword has other uses.

Nezha, Li Jing, Jin Zha and others all looked over, wanting to know what solution Chen Yun had.

Chen Yun didn't keep the secret and admitted directly: "Yes, I want the Pure Yang Sword to protect someone, someone who will break the formation."

Turtle Mountain Jellyfish couldn't help but ask: "Master Chen, who is the master who can break the formation?"

Wang E, Mei Junyan, Zhang Qian and others all looked over there.

"I can't say I'm an expert." Chen Yun said truthfully, "I think the one who can break this formation is my disciple Gou Teng."

Xiao Gou Teng, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, was confused himself.

He pointed at himself in disbelief and said in a baby voice, "Master, are you talking about me?"

Chen Yun said: "Yes, it's you."

"Ah?" Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Senior Brother Chen, Gou Teng is still young, and his cultivation is so low. How can he possibly break the formation that even you can't break?"

Zhang Qian usually takes care of little Gou Teng. Most of the time, when Chen Yun doesn't have time to teach him martial arts, he also teaches him.

In a sense, Zhang Qian is more like Xiao Gou Teng's master, or even a father.

It was obvious that he was defending Xiao Gou Teng by saying this.

I don't want a child to take such a big risk.

Chen Yun naturally understood Zhang Qian's love for little Gou Teng.

He said seriously: "Brother Zhang, there are many things I cannot explain to you, but the only one who has the ability to break the Luohou formation is Gou Teng."

Lord Ma couldn't help but say, "Master Chen, don't blame me for being so talkative. Your disciple is only at the early stage of an intermediate mage. Isn't it a bit unrealistic to ask him to break the formation?"

Guan Erye, who had a good relationship with Chen Yun, also frowned and said, "Yes, Mr. Chen, you couldn't even break the formation, so it doesn't seem right to let a little kid go."

Erlang Shen, the Six Saints of Meishan, Cao Guojiu and others all nodded slightly, and felt that it seemed a bit too presumptuous to let a child with little cultivation break the formation.

Chen Yun explained, "Breaking the Luohou Formation has nothing to do with your cultivation level. I went into the formation to check it out and had a chat with Luohou Zhenjun. I know there are only two ways to break this formation. One is to kill the master of the formation, and the other is to find someone who has no evil thoughts in his heart to go there."

At this point, he paused, "If we want to destroy Luohou Zhenjun in the Luohou formation, maybe someone here can do it, but this is just the Conferred God Battle, and we don't have any blood feuds, so there's no need to take other people's lives, so I think the second method of breaking the formation is more appropriate, which is to find someone who has no evil thoughts in his heart to enter the formation. Coincidentally, my disciple Gou Teng has no evil thoughts."

The Monkey King asked with a hint of curiosity: "How do you know that he has no evil thoughts in his heart?"

The Golden-Eyed Ghost, the Crocodile Demon General, the Grass Demon General and others all showed curious looks.

Chen Yun explained the situation, "Gou Teng is a vine condensed from the Queen Mother of the West's Xuanpu, so he can be considered a natural spiritual being. It has only been a year or two since he transformed, and he has been studying Taoist cultural knowledge and various Taoist concepts in my Taoist temple. He has not been polluted by the turbidity of the world, so I know he has no evil intentions."

Erlang Shen said: "In that case, he may really be the only one who has a chance of breaking the formation."

Chen Yun said: "That's why I asked him to go and break the formation."

At this moment, Zhang Qian said with some concern: "What if he encounters danger when entering the battle formation?"

Chen Yun looked sideways and said, "I can assure you that there will be no danger. If you are really worried about him going, we can find another way."

He and Zhang Qian have been brothers for decades, so naturally they respect each other enough.

If Zhang Qian really didn't want Xiao Gou Teng to take the risk to break the formation, Chen Yun would definitely not force it.

Although Zhang Qian couldn't bear to let Xiao Gou Teng take such a big risk, he also knew that Chen Yun must have a certain degree of confidence to dare to say so.

He struggled with his thoughts for a moment, then he let out a long breath and said, "Let him make his own decision."

Chen Yun nodded: "Okay, then let's ask Gou Teng for his opinion."

As he said that, he looked at Little Gou Teng and said, "Gou Teng, Master wants you to break the Luohou formation. Are you willing to go?"

Everyone looked towards Xiao Gouteng, wanting to hear the little boy's opinion.

Little Gou Teng opened his extremely pure eyes and said, "Master said that it won't be dangerous if I go to break the formation. I believe in Master, and I am willing to go."

Chen Yun stared at him for a long while, then asked, "What if I guessed wrong and you lost your life? What should I do then?"

Little Gou Teng tilted his head and said, "No, Master never makes mistakes. I trust Master the most." Master never makes mistakes?

Do you trust me the most as your master?
For some reason, Chen Yun felt quite moved when he heard Xiao Gou Teng's sincere response.

At this moment, he inexplicably felt that his grudge against Xiao Gou Teng had disappeared without a trace.

When this grudge disappeared, Chen Yun felt refreshed.

It is truly refreshing, and adjective.

He felt that his "Yang Shen" seemed to have unleashed some blockage, and his realm was constantly rising.

What made Chen Yun feel a little unbelievable was that, along with feeling "refreshed", his yang soul seemed to be actively merging with his physical body, as if it was about to become both a perfect body and spirit.

Chen Yun suddenly recalled what the Queen Mother of the West had said to him that day.

At that time, the Queen Mother of the West said: "When you can no longer bear grudges against him, it will be the time when you will attain the status of a celestial being."

Chen Yun did not understand what this sentence meant at the time. He felt that whether he had a grudge against Xiao Gou Teng or not had anything to do with whether he could achieve the Heavenly Fairyland.

Now that he had felt the changes brought about by "refreshing the mind", he gradually understood the meaning of what the Queen Mother of the West had said that day.

The hatred between him and Gou Teng is so deep that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a blood feud.

I remember that Chen Yun killed Xie Wuming, the son of Yinshan Patriarch, the leader of Yinshan Sect, on the battlefield, and a series of events happened afterwards.

For example, Yin Wuji, the founding disciple of Yinshan Sect, came to him, and Gou Teng allowed his adopted daughter Shen Xiu to almost kill him by sneak attack.

Chen Yun managed to escape death with great difficulty, but who would have thought that Gou Teng would allow Shen Xiu and his disciples Xuan Zhenzi and Madam Dong Miao to join forces to deal with him.

So, he reciprocated the favor and wiped out Gou Teng's entire Xingxiu Sea family.

At this point, if nothing else happens, his conflicts with the Yinshan Sect and Xingxiu Sea will be written off.

However, Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang joined forces to kill Chen Yun.

Fortunately, he had Nihe and Xihe by his side at the time, so he managed to save his life.

Because of this, Chen Yun's hatred for Gou Teng was much deeper than that for Xie Wuyang, so much so that even after killing him on the battlefield and resurrecting him as a child, he was still unable to eliminate the grudge.

This grudge was like a knife, always stabbing at his heart.

Now, because Xiao Gou Teng believed in him unconditionally, Chen Yun no longer had any grudges against him, just like a knife pulled out from his heart.

His Tao heart was perfected at once, and his state of mind naturally improved.

Practicing Taoism is the process of cultivating the mind. When the state of mind reaches a certain level, the level of cultivation will also improve accordingly.

This is Chen Yun’s current situation.

When his state of mind improves, the fusion speed of his yang spirit and physical body becomes faster, and he will soon achieve perfect form and spirit, and reach the realm of a celestial being!

He estimated that once the matter here was over, he would calm down and allow his yang spirit to merge with his body, and then he would be able to achieve perfection in both body and spirit.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Chen Yun's face. He looked at Xiao Gou Teng and said, "The master will not lie to you. Go ahead with confidence."

Little Gou Teng nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

"Wait." Chen Yun hurriedly called out to the other party, and then handed over the Pure Yang Sword, "Take this sword."

Then he looked at Lu Dongbin again, "Brother, please let Gou Teng use the Pure Yang Sword."

Lü Dongbin recited a formula and then said, "That's it."

Little Gou Teng took the Pure Yang Sword and said, "Master, I'm going to break the formation."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Go ahead, and come back soon."

Zhang Qian hurriedly reminded: "Be careful, got it?"

"Know it."

Little Gou Teng walked towards the Luohou formation holding the Chunyang Sword.

Chen Yun looked at the other person's back and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Suddenly, Lu Dongbin's voice came to my ears, "Junior brother, congratulations on your breakthrough to the celestial immortal."

Erlang Shen was startled, "Brother Chen is going to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"

Li Jing was also somewhat puzzled and asked: "Chun Yangzi, how did you know that Master Chen was about to break through?"

The remaining Lord Ma, the Six Saints of Meishan, Wang E and others all looked curious.

Not to mention these people, even Chen Yun himself found it confusing.

He looked at Lu Dongbin and asked, "Brother, how did you know this?"

Lü Dongbin laughed loudly and said, "You have a spiritual appearance in your body. Doesn't that mean that your body and spirit will soon be perfect and you will soon break through to the heavenly realm?"

Tieguai Li stared at Chen Yun's face and said, "Just after your disciple Gou Teng finished speaking, you became completely different. I think your state of mind has improved greatly, so the speed of your body and soul combining has increased. Chunyangzi and I are more sensitive, so we can naturally discover it at the first time."

Everyone stared at Chen Yun and took a closer look. It seemed that he really had become different from before.

Chen Yun sighed: "Hatred is like a knife. It hurts yourself before it hurts others. When you throw away the knife, it will never be able to hurt you again."

Hearing this, Lord Horse, Lord Guan Erye, Nezha, Li Jing, the nine-headed Bull Demon King and other gods and demons at the top of the world seemed to understand something.

Nezha in particular suddenly sighed and said, "I seem to know why I have been unable to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Fortunately, Brother Chen reminded me today. If I hone my mind in the future, maybe I can also reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

Li Jing looked at the Third Prince with an inexplicably complicated look and said, "If you can reach the Heavenly Fairyland, then I can, too."

Guan Erye also sighed and said, "Beheading is a thing of the past, it's time to let it go."

The Horse King didn't say a word, but his eyes became clearer and clearer, and it was obvious that he understood something.

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, the Golden-Eyed Ghost, the Monkey King and others also seemed to have some insights.

Chen Yun didn't care about these people. He just looked at the Luohou formation in the distance with concern, hoping that Xiao Gou Teng would return safely.

At the beginning, everyone was still talking about their state of mind.

Gradually, some people noticed Chen Yun's gaze, so they stopped talking and looked intently at the Luohou Formation.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After about an incense stick of time, there was finally some movement in the Luohu formation.

A long sigh came from Luohou Zhenjun, "Zhenren Chen, you win. There are people in this world who don't have any evil thoughts in their hearts."

Hearing this, Chen Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as little Gou Teng was okay.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that the speed of the fusion of body and spirit was three times faster than before.

Chen Yun knew that he was getting closer and closer to the heavenly fairyland.

Now he just wanted to quickly break through the last three formations and then attack the celestial being!
