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

Chapter 793: The Khitan Conquer the Later Jin Dynasty (1)

Today is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is also the day when Du Chongwei, Li Shouzhen and other Later Jin generals surrendered.

At the same time, today is the day when Chen Yun comes out of seclusion after more than ten days of retreat.

Yingzhou City, the governor's residence.

In the early morning, it was snowing heavily.

The sky and the earth were covered in white, and the silver-clad scene covered the entire northern country.

Chen Yun walked out of the quiet room slowly and saw Lin Lingsu waiting at the door.

Lin Lingsu bowed immediately when she saw Chen Yun, "Teacher."

Chen Yun asked, "Why are you waiting at the door so early in the morning?"

Lin Lingsu said respectfully, "The Third Prince and Heavenly King Li have both come out of retreat. In addition, Marshal Deng sent over some spiritual roots of heaven and earth a few days ago and handed them over to Uncle Zhang."

Nezha and Li Jing have come out of seclusion?

Doesn't that mean that the two of them have reached heavenly realm?
Chen Yun sensed it and detected that Nezha, Li Jing, Erlang Shen and others were meeting in the conference room, and a large group of people were chatting and laughing.

He sensed Zhang Qian again and found that he was teaching Chen Lizhi some moves.

Chen Yun thought about it for a moment and did not go to find Zhang Qian immediately. Instead, he took his disciples to the meeting room.

After a while, they arrived at their destination.

"Haha."

"Congratulations to the Third Prince, congratulations to Heavenly King Li."

"You two have been in seclusion for a long time and have achieved the heavenly immortal realm. This is truly cause for celebration."

There were bursts of laughter in the meeting room.

Li Jing waved his hands modestly, "It was a fluke that my father and I achieved the Heavenly Immortal Realm. I am ashamed, ashamed."

Nezha was a straightforward person, not at all modest. He yawned and mocked his father, saying, "Weren't you excited that you came out of seclusion before me yesterday? Why are you being modest now?"

Li Jing: "..."

Erlang Shen, Guan Erye, Ma Wangye and others all burst into laughter.

Seeing Nezha start to argue, Li Jing quickly changed the subject and said, "Nezha and I have been in seclusion for a long time and luckily broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. I wonder if Master Chen is also trying to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm after being in seclusion for many days?"

Hearing this, Nezha also showed an interested look.

Erlang Shen smiled and said, "I advise you two not to compete with Brother Chen."

"Oh?" Li Jing asked with a hint of surprise, "Could it be that Master Chen has achieved the status of a celestial being before us?"

Guo Yazhi laughed loudly and said, "More than one step ahead, after you had been in seclusion for a day or two, Brother Chen had already become a celestial being."

"what?"

"He became an immortal after we were in seclusion for a day or two?"

Nezha and Li Jing were both shocked and couldn't believe it was true.

You have to know that they have been wandering at the top of the fairyland for a long time, and finally had a hint of enlightenment, and then they went into seclusion and broke through to the celestial fairyland, which is something to be proud of.

As a result, not long after they came out of seclusion, they heard that Chen Yun had already broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which made them feel as if they were being outdone by comparison.

As he was talking, Chen Yun walked in from outside and asked with a smile, "Everyone, what are you talking about?"

Nezha turned his head and looked over, speechless: "I'm talking about you, a monster."

Li Jing smiled helplessly, "I originally thought that Nezha and I had broken through quickly enough, but I never thought that Master Chen..."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Master Chen, you have only practiced for a few decades, but you have already achieved the heavenly immortal realm. I am so envious of you."

Guan Erye, Ma Wangye, Wang E and others who were sitting nearby nodded, agreeing with Li Jing's opinion.

Chen Yun was just about to say something modest.

Suddenly, Erlang Shen said in doubt: "My dear brother, I see that you seem to be different today than before. Could it be... that you have made another breakthrough?"

Nezha was quite surprised and asked, "No way?"

Li Jing looked surprised and asked, "Master Chen just achieved the status of a celestial being a month ago. How could his cultivation level improve so quickly?"

Guo Yazhi, Marshal E, the Yellow-haired Boy and the other six saints of Meishan also looked incredulous.

Everyone thought that Erlang Shen had seen it wrong, but when they looked closely at Chen Yun, they vaguely discovered that his whole body seemed to be wrapped in an inexplicable majestic power, as if he had really made a breakthrough.

Lord Guan and Lord Ma were startled and looked at each other.

The Monkey King, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, the Golden-Eyed Ghost and other demons all showed surprise.

Chen Yun walked to the chair next to Erlang Shen and sat down, saying casually: "There is no breakthrough in the realm of cultivation, but I have realized some great principles and can use some great powers that do not belong to me."

Erlang Shen was startled, "Brother, can you mobilize the power of the Great Dao?"

As they were talking here, Lu Dongbin, Ge Tianshi, Xu Tianshi, Tieguai Li and others came.

Before Lu Dongbin even entered the room, he also made a surprised and doubtful sound, "Junior brother, are you half a step into the Daluo?"

"what?"

"Master Chen has reached the half-step of Daluo?"

"Is this true? How long has it been since he broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"

The people in the room were in an uproar, and it seemed really unbelievable.

Not to mention that the cultivation level of these people in the room was relatively low, even people in the late Heavenly Immortal Realm such as Ge Tianshi, Xu Tianshi, and Tieguai Li seemed very surprised at this moment.

Chen Yun looked at the gathered people and repeated his explanation: "I haven't broken through to the half-step Daluo yet. My cultivation level is too far behind. I have only comprehended some methods that only the half-step Daluo can use."

Erlangshen: "..."

The Six Saints of Meishan: “…”

Lu Dongbin and everyone else: "..."

He just comprehended some methods that only a half-step Daluo could use, and that’s “just” it?
Everyone was almost choked to death by Chen Yun's words.

They really want to ask, do you know what you are talking about?
then……

Well, everyone didn’t want to pay any attention to Chen Yun anymore. They felt that he was just showing off!

The group of people played around for a while.

Then, Lu Dongbin sat down and said, "Junior brother, today Du Chongwei, Li Zhenshou, Zhang Yanze and others surrendered. The strength of the Khitan army has greatly increased. It will not take much time to break through the Jin court. I estimate two to three months..."

Chen Yun shook his head and said, "Brother, you don't know much about military affairs. In my opinion, the Khitan army will hardly encounter any resistance in its next southern expedition." Lu Dongbin asked in surprise, "Oh, why?"

Master Guan Er was well versed in military affairs. He took over the conversation and said, "As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain collapsing. This is a phrase that describes the situation on the battlefield. Similarly, it also applies to the entire battle. Du Chongwei surrendered with 200,000 troops under his command. The governors of various states only had a few troops under their command. I'm afraid they have already surrendered. By then, we only need Du Chongwei, Li Zhenshou, Zhang Yanze and others to persuade them. The Khitan army can immediately take over various important states without losing a single soldier. Therefore, the war between mortals is basically no longer suspenseful. What we need to consider now is not how this war will turn out, but how to break through Daliang City."

Chen Yun nodded slightly and said, "That's right. If the Purple Star Emperor doesn't want to suffer a disastrous defeat, he will definitely come to the outside of Daliang City in person to stop the Khitan army from advancing straight into the capital of Jin."

Master Ge said slowly: "Once the Purple Star Emperor comes, I'm afraid we will be powerless to resist."

Master Xu agreed, "The Purple Star Emperor is the Emperor of Heaven, and his cultivation has reached the pinnacle. Let alone us, even if Thunder Ancestor came again, he would definitely not be the opponent of the Emperor."

Everyone knows this. The reason why Emperor Ziwei was able to become the Emperor of Heaven is definitely not just because he won the last Battle of the Gods, but more because of his own high level of cultivation.

Tieguai Li added, "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as the arrival of the Purple Star Emperor. He will definitely invite a few half-step Daluo to help. We don't have a single half-step Daluo here for now. Master Chen, you have to think of a solution."

Everyone looked towards Chen Yun.

Chen Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I will naturally invite some half-step Daluo to come and help."

He had already thought of a countermeasure. No matter how many Half-Step Daluo Emperor Ziwei asked for help, he had three Half-Step Daluo on his side and he would definitely be able to get them.

Needless to say, the first one is naturally the Jade Emperor. He is doing things for the other party, so there is no reason for him not to come at the critical moment.

The second one is the master's grandfather, Dong Wanggong. Chen Yun has long known that the other party stands firmly on the side of the Jade Emperor and has also promised to join the war.

As for the third one, it is the Queen Mother of the West. As a junior of the opponent's lineage, Chen Yun can probably ask the ancestor to come out of seclusion.

We chatted a little about the war.

Then, Chen Yun remembered that Lei Zu had asked Marshal Deng to bring the last four spiritual roots of heaven and earth that were missing from the spiritual soup. He wanted to take advantage of the recent time to make the spiritual soup and see if he could improve his strength during this time.

So he stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and went to look for Zhang Qianren.

……

Find Zhang Qian and get the four spiritual roots of heaven and earth sent by Lei Zu.

Chen Yun returned to the quiet room, then took out the sixty-eight spiritual roots of heaven and earth that the Jade Emperor had given him, and put them into the furnace together with the four new ones.

Close the stove lid and press the button.

Three...two...one...

There was no difference from before, with bursts of white qi rising from the small copper furnace.

Chen Yun knew that the magic soup was ready, so he immediately used his magic power to open the lid of the furnace, then drew out the medicine and swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp.

To be honest, after taking the spiritual soup, he didn't know when it would take effect. After all, the effects of the spiritual soup in the previous times were based on the duration of the practice.

Although he had cultivated to the eighth level of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret" this time, because there was no actual practice method for this level and it was just a simple way to resolve the fire poison, he had no idea when the medicinal effect would take effect and what the medicinal effect would bring to him.

That’s exactly what Chen Yun thought at the time.

However, within a short time after the spiritual soup entered the stomach, something magical happened.

Chen Yun only felt that the effect of the medicine took effect immediately and instantly integrated into every inch of his limbs and body.

Soon, his explosive growth, which was already "increasing day by day", became even faster.

Yes, this time the spiritual soup did not directly improve his cultivation, but accelerated its explosive growth.

Chen Yun was startled. "Hey, my 'Day by Day Cultivation' seems to have doubled in speed."

This surprised him very much. It would have taken him two or three years to naturally reach the Half-Step Daluo realm. Now that he had taken the spiritual soup, his cultivation base had increased at twice the rate. Didn't it mean that it would only take him more than a year to break through to the Half-Step Daluo realm?

Judging from the current situation, it seems to be the case.

None of this matters.

What's more, Chen Yun was very confused about the effect of this magical soup.

Why are you confused?
The reason is very simple. He had passed the test of the Golden Elixir Avenue and then achieved explosive growth. The "Lianxu Hedao Decoction" should have been taken directly once he broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Chen Yun wondered, if he had gathered all the spiritual roots needed for this spiritual soup before, would it still have the same effect as it does now?

Or in other words, all the progress in his cultivation was within the expectations of the creator of the spiritual soup?

Chen Yun knew that the creator of the spiritual soup was his future successor.

He couldn't help but feel amazed at how high the cultivation level of this future successor was that he could even calculate so accurately when and what level he would reach in cultivation?

"Why do I have a feeling that he seems to be eager for me to achieve the Daluo realm as soon as possible?"

Chen Yun really couldn't understand. If the future successor wanted him to achieve Daluo as soon as possible, why didn't he find a way to directly obtain the 108 spiritual roots of heaven and earth in the "Daluo Lingtang", but instead had to "fight monsters and level up" bit by bit?

"Also, the first two times I saw him, I always felt that he seemed to have surpassed the Daluo realm, but he seemed to be restricted by something and had not really surpassed the Daluo realm."

Chen Yun really felt very confused. He always thought that his cultivation level was too low and he sensed it wrongly.

"Let's not think about it for now. Anyway, everything is in my favor right now. I think since he calls me his mentor, he won't do anything to me."

Although he couldn't figure out many things, Chen Yun could still clearly tell who was good to him and who was not.

"Let's see the effects in a few days first."

For the time being, Chen Yun only knows that "Lianxu Hedao Decoction" can make his cultivation level grow faster. He has not discovered anything else yet, so he naturally needs to observe it carefully.

……

The days passed by.

Five or six days passed in a flash.

During this period, Yelu Deguang was surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalrymen and climbed to Dafu. He stopped his horse and accepted the surrender. He appointed Du Chongwei as the guardian and governor of Yedu, Li Shouzhen as the governor of Tianping Army, and the other generals took up their old positions. Half of the surrendered troops were given to Du Chongwei and the other half were under Zhao Yanshou. He ordered the Imperial Censor Jie Li, the military supervisor Fu Guier, and Zhang Yanze to take the imperial edict to Bianjing to inform the mother of the Jin emperor, Li, to appease her mind, and summoned Sang Weihan and Jing Yanguang to come to the court first.

Yelu Deguang left a thousand cavalrymen to guard Wei, and led the main army southward, successively conquering Daizhou and Yizhou. He encountered no strong resistance along the way, and many generals of the Later Jin Dynasty surrendered.

In just five or six days, the surrendered general Zhang Yanze, following the Khitan's orders, led 2,000 vanguard cavalrymen to attack Daliang, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Unfortunately, before these two thousand people arrived at Daliang City, they were immediately blocked by inexplicably bad weather and could not move forward.

At the same time, Chen Yun, who was in Yingzhou City, sensed it.

He slowly stood up and conveyed the message to his fellow practitioners, then with his hands behind his back, he flew towards Daliang City on a cloud.

In the past few days, with the help of the spiritual soup, Chen Yun's cultivation has greatly improved, almost twice as much as before taking the spiritual soup.

Comprehended the secret of Half-Step Daluo.

And he achieved an indestructible body.

Although his realm is still at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his cultivation has greatly improved.

All this made Chen Yun involuntarily want to find someone to practice with, to test how strong his current combat power was, and whether he was really invincible below the Half-Step Daluo level.
