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

Chapter 875 lays the groundwork for attaining the Great Luo!

Although the meditation room was destroyed, Chen Yun, with his cultivation level, naturally restored the room in an instant.

He remained immersed in seclusion, showing no intention of emerging. This time, he was determined to fulfill his core vision: to possess an inexhaustible source of True Qi.

Only in this way could he hope to successfully attain the Great Immortal status after the Song Dynasty truly established its rule over the world.

Now that the time since the Song Dynasty is drawing ever closer, Chen Yun naturally needs to work harder.

Although the establishment of the Song Dynasty did not mean that it truly unified the country, there was only a difference of more than ten years.

In short, Chen Yun currently has about twenty years of time in the human world.

Twenty years can be a very long time for an ordinary person.

However, for Chen Yun, who was determined to cultivate to the Great Luo Realm, this amount of time was indeed a bit tight.

He was well aware that if he could not attain the Great Luo Realm within twenty years, he would have to wait until the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, a span of three to four hundred years.

"It would be best to obtain the Great Luo during the time when the Song Dynasty established its rule over the world."

Chen Yun pondered inwardly, constantly unraveling the mystery, allowing the true qi within his body to form an even larger "cocoon".

While he was in seclusion completing his plan, he also pondered the matter of his encounter with Maitreya Buddha and Dipankara Buddha.

This time, he fought against two top-tier half-step Grand Luo cultivators. Although it was just a probing exchange and he didn't use his true abilities, he could still keenly sense that without the help of the "Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation," there was still a significant gap between him and these two.

"In terms of combat strength, I am probably a little stronger than the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but in terms of cultivation level, I estimate that I am only about half as strong as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

Chen Yun knew this was only temporary. Once he completed his plan, his True Qi would increase continuously. At that time, not only would his cultivation level surpass that of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but it wouldn't be impossible for him to reach the transcendent level of the Jade Emperor, the Ziwei Emperor, and Shakyamuni Buddha.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had something to do.

"No, I need to come out of seclusion temporarily to deal with this matter before I can continue my seclusion."

Chen Yun slowly finished his practice and exhaled a long breath.

The moment that breath of turbid air was exhaled from his mouth, it immediately began to evolve the world, as if a new world would be born if left unchecked.

Chen Yun slowly stood up, and with a flick of his sleeve, the world collapsed.

Having reached his level of cultivation, although he couldn't perform actions like Pangu creating the world and opening up the Great Dao, evolving a vast world or a single world was incredibly easy for him, almost as simple as eating and drinking.

After his cultivation, he could exhale such turbid air that it was as simple as eating and drinking water.

Chen Yun walked slowly out of the quiet room with his hands behind his back.

Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, he saw Wang Siyan pruning the flowers. He went up to her, said a few words, and then walked towards the outer courtyard.

……

Outer courtyard.

Wang E, Lord Ma, and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, among others, had just watched as Maitreya Buddha and Dipankara Buddha left with Maudgalyayana.

They were preparing to return to their respective homes, since both Wang E and Ma Wangye now held divine duties.

For example, Lord Ma is a star deity, while Wang E was made a city god after Chen Yun became the Fengdu Emperor.

Before the group of saints and demons could act, they saw Chen Yun slowly walking towards them from the direction of the inner courtyard.

"teacher."

"Lord."

"Teacher."

Besides Wang E, Lord Ma, and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King greeting him, disciples nearby, such as Mei Junyan and Zhao Kuangji, also bowed and greeted Chen Yun as he approached.

Chen Yun nodded slightly to his disciples, then turned his gaze to Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, saying, "You two, come with me."

Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King were confused, but they still obediently followed along.

A moment later, Chen Yun led them to a large tree at a nearby corner, where it was shady and there was no one around.

He didn't make any movement, yet ripples naturally spread around him.

Upon seeing this situation, Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King immediately realized that Chen Yun might have something very important to say, and their expressions immediately became serious.

Chen Yun stared at the two of them for a long time, then sighed and said, "You have known me for many years, haven't you?"

Wang E replied respectfully, "Yes, my lord."

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King said, "Back when True Man Chen was still in Khitan, I, Bull Demon King, already knew you."

"Yes, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye." Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh. "Originally, I was thinking of taking you two as my disciples, but now that the secrets of heaven are becoming more and more mysterious, it seems that it is not appropriate to do so."

Knowing that Chen Yun was about to get to the point, Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King remained silent and listened attentively.

Chen Yun continued, “With the involvement of Buddhism, the Southern Tang Dynasty has greatly increased its power. Although the Zhou Dynasty has the Mandate of Heaven, there is always the possibility that its fortune may be lost due to human interference. As you know, I have a student in the mortal world named Zhao Kuangyin. He is currently serving in the Zhou Dynasty. I am very optimistic about his ability to achieve great things. I wonder if you are willing to go and assist him in accomplishing his great cause?”

Wang E responded immediately, "Your subordinate is naturally willing."

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King said resolutely, "Master Chen, I would gladly go through fire and water for you."

“This time, it’s really possible that we’ll have to go through fire and water.” Chen Yun looked at the two of them and said, “Therefore, I need to ask you if you are willing. If you are, I will forcefully improve your cultivation and teach you some life-saving techniques later.”

Wang E said, "Your subordinate is willing."

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King did not hesitate, "The same goes for the old bull."

"Good." Chen Yun said with satisfaction, "Then, I will announce in public later that you have been expelled from Huangting Temple for violating my decree. In other words, you cannot use the name of Huangting Temple outside. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang E nodded to the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, indicating that he had agreed.

Chen Yun said, "Since you have agreed, I will leave a ball of primordial ancestral energy in each of your bodies. Wang E, if you can completely refine this ball of primordial ancestral energy, you will have no problem entering the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but your cultivation level may be limited to this point and you will not be able to advance any further. As for Niu Pingtian, if you refine this ball of primordial ancestral energy, you may also reach the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but more likely you will reach the middle stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. After all, you are currently only in the Divine Immortal Realm, and the consequences will be the same. After I force you to grow faster, your cultivation level will not be able to improve any further."

Wang E laughed freely and said, "With my talent, it would have been extremely difficult to cultivate to the late stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm, let alone take another step forward. Now that my lord is willing to expend a great deal of magic power to forcibly improve my realm, I am grateful beyond words, how could I have any complaints?"

Nine-Headed Bull Demon King agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Yes, I haven't broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm yet. Although I'm very close, this gap requires some opportunity and may take a long time. Now, I not only have the hope of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, but I also have the hope of reaching the late stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm. I am so grateful to True Man Chen that I would never regret not being able to improve my cultivation in the future."

It's clear that both of them truly felt this way, and they spoke with great sincerity.

Chen Yun comforted the two, saying, "It's only a matter of this one era that you can't make any further progress. When the next era comes, you can still reach a higher level."

Is it impossible to take another inch of progress in looking directly at the events of this era?

When the next era arrives, will he still be able to break through to a higher level? When Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King heard Chen Yun's words, their hearts skipped a beat. They had a vague premonition that the other party was very likely preparing to step into a higher realm.

Who doesn't know that Chen Yun is now at the half-step Great Luo realm?

So, if he wants to reach an even higher level, wouldn't that be to become a Great Luo Immortal?
Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King were secretly delighted and were about to speak.

Chen Yun waved his hand and said, "You can't even think about these things. Besides, I will erase this part of your memory later. The reason I'm telling you now is just to put your minds at ease."

Wang E hurriedly replied, "Your subordinate understands."

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King said, "I believe that Master Chen must have a reason for doing this."

"Hmm." Chen Yun looked at the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and said, "Let me tell you how to save your life first."

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King said, "Please speak."

Chen Yun said, "You are naturally restrained by Nezha. If you face Buddhism in the future, Buddhism will naturally send Nezha. At that time, you must not fight desperately. Just make a show of it, and when it's about time, say that you are willing to surrender to Buddhism. Do you understand?"

Although the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King did not know why Chen Yun wanted him to surrender to Buddhism, he believed that as one of the rulers of heaven and earth, the other party must have seen things that he could not see.

Therefore, he readily agreed, saying, "Yes."

Chen Yun looked at Wang E again, sighed and said, "To be honest, I really thought highly of you and wanted to take you as my disciple, but fate had other plans. Therefore, I taught you a way to save your life, and even a Taoist technique."

Wang E listened attentively and said, "I beg my lord to inherit my wisdom."

Chen Yun didn't say much, but simply reached out and patted Wang E on the shoulder.

The next moment, Wang E noticed that a magical life-saving technique and a ball of primordial primordial energy had appeared in his mind.

Chen Yun flicked his finger at the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, and a burst of primordial primordial energy burst forth and entered the opponent's body.

After doing all this, Chen Yun said something inexplicable to Wang E: "No matter what happens now, you will always return to my sect in the future."

Wang Egang was about to ask what was going on.

Suddenly, Chen Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and the memories of Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King were erased.

Immediately, the ripples subsided, and it seemed that they could be detected by the outside world.

At this moment, Chen Yun's expression turned cold, and he rebuked, "I previously issued an edict ordering you not to make things difficult for Maudgalyayana, but you are so vicious that you actually joined forces to attack him. You have no manners at all. You should leave. My Huangting Temple cannot tolerate two great gods like you!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Junyan, Zhao Kuangji, Chen Lizhi, and other disciples in the distance all looked at each other in bewilderment.

They seemed completely unprepared for what had just happened. At first, Chen Yun appeared to be having a pleasant conversation with Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, but then he suddenly erupted and threatened to expel the two from Huangting Temple.

Not to mention the disciples, Sun Wukong, the Ape Demon King, and the Flood Dragon Demon King were also caught off guard and were completely dumbfounded.

Although Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King had their key memories erased, they still remembered Chen Yun's initial remarks and knew that this was just a means of protecting them.

"My lord, I was wrong, please forgive me this once."

"Master Chen, this little demon will never dare to do it again. I beg your mercy and forgive us for this mistake."

King E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King immediately knelt down and put on a show of pleading.

Chen Yun showed absolutely no mercy, flicking his sleeve and coldly snorting, "You ignore my words and still want to beg for forgiveness? Leave now and don't anger me!"

With that, he turned and left, heading towards the inner courtyard.

Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King immediately showed expressions of helplessness and sorrow.

When Chen Yun approached Lord Ma, Zhao Kuangji, Chen Lizhi, and other disciples, he said in a cold tone, "From now on, anyone who disobeys my decree will have to leave Huangting Temple on their own!"

After speaking, he went straight back to the inner courtyard and did not speak to anyone else.

Zhang Qian, Lin Chen, and Lin Lingsu stood at a distance watching Chen Yun's anger, truly too frightened to even breathe.

It's important to know that the three of them had an extraordinary relationship with Chen Yun; two of them were fellow disciples who grew up together, and the other was practically his nephew.

Even they were so frightened they dared not breathe, let alone the other disciples.

At this moment, Huang Tingguan's disciples all knew about Wang E, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, and others beating up Maudgalyayana, which made Chen Yun truly angry, so he wanted to expel the two from the sect.

As for why Jiu Feng and Lord Ma were unharmed, everyone can figure it out.

As Chen Yun's mount, Jiu Feng held a special position, and since he was instigated by others, he naturally received a lighter punishment.

The same principle applies to Lord Ma; although he participated in the beating, he did not actually fight back.

Wang E was different from the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King. One was the first to be targeted, while the other instigated the Nine Phoenixes. It was only natural that they were expelled from the sect.

Because of these thoughts, those disciples who originally thought Chen Yun was easy to talk to were all frightened at this moment.

Although Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King knew that they were leaving Huangting Temple with a mission, they still felt a little sad at the thought of actually leaving.

Then, Wang E left first.

The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King discussed the matter with Sun Wukong, the Flood Dragon Demon King, and others before leaving as well.

Those powerful demons and old monsters were invited by the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King. This time, they did not obey Chen Yun's decree, so they naturally had no face to stay here. It was normal for them to leave with the other party.

The vast Huangting Temple seemed somewhat deserted without these people.

……

Inside the quiet room.

Chen Yun sensed that Wang E, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, Sun Wukong, and the others had left, and sighed again.

This time, he wasn't sending Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King to their deaths, but rather trying to save their lives, which is why he pretended to expel them from the sect.

The reason he did this was because his feelings for these two people were not as deep as those for Niu Dali.

Therefore, even if Wang E and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King really died in battle, he would not allow himself to experience such extreme pain.

Given this, why didn't Chen Yun try to save their lives?

"Alright, let's take it one step at a time. These two should be safe now. Let me finish my plan first."

Chen Yun slowly closed his eyes. This time, he was determined to complete his plan so that he could receive a continuous supply of True Qi to pave the way for attaining the Great Luo realm!
