Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 590 Survival
When Lu Ye heard Shang Tianti's proposal, the only thing he had to say was "Fuck you."

I saved your life, and you want to harm me?
What's so good about being the village chief?

Just look at how wasted your life has become and you will know.

There are many troubles and heavy responsibilities, and one also has to take care of a group of weak tribesmen.

This is not looking for the village chief, this is looking for a nanny!

I am a great Yuanying cultivator, and you arranged for me to be a nanny?

It's really inhumane!
Lu Ye immediately shook his head like a rattle and said to Shang Tianti with a serious face.

"Friend Shang, we are both strangers in a foreign land. In this world, only you and I know each other well. We come from the same place, so we can trust each other."

"From now on, don't call each other senior or junior. Let's just treat each other as peers and call each other fellow Taoists!"

"I am deeply touched that you are willing to give me the position of clan leader. This is a sign of your trust in me, Lu."

"But have you ever thought about it? You have been here for fifty years. The tribesmen are familiar with you and trust you."

"Although I am stronger than you, I have just arrived here. Can they trust me?"

"What's more, our human race is weak. In this era when the demons and monsters are strong, we are in danger at every step. A slight negligence will bring disaster to our people."

"If I were to become the clan leader, I would be harming everyone!"

"So you must be the patriarch, and only you can be the patriarch!"

"As for me, giving suggestions and protecting the clan with swords is what I should do most!"

"The matter is decided now, no more years are needed!"

"I see many of our tribesmen are injured and need to be treated with mana. I'm going to help them first!"

After Lu Ye finished speaking, he turned around and used his light to escape, not giving Shang Tianti any chance to object.

Shang Tianti had so much bitterness in his heart that he couldn't utter it. He stared at Lu Ye's receding figure in amazement. If he had anything to say, he could only say it next time when he had time.

It was daytime when Lu Ye arrived at this world. He was busy until night, when the village generally returned to peace.

The dead demons were dragged together by their tribesmen, forming a small pile of corpses.

He breathed out real fire, ignited it, and burned it completely, leaving no ash.

When Ah Chou took action, he killed both the flesh and the ghosts together. Since no one escaped, the trouble of dealing with it later was saved.

Lu Ye observed that the spiritual weapons used by these monsters were still very crude. The only point that could be praised was that at this time the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and there was no shortage of natural treasures, so the quality of these spiritual weapons was surprisingly high.

Many spiritual weapons used by demon tribes are mostly made of materials at the level of Nascent Soul magic weapons of later generations.

There are even some divine treasures among them, but they are only roughly refined and used as spiritual weapons, which is a waste of resources.

Lu Ye found a storage ring and put all the spoils into it, then summoned Ah Chou and threw the ring into his stomach.

In this case, let alone the White Tiger Demon King, even the Demon Emperor Huashen Zhenjun would not be able to find the whereabouts of these spiritual soldiers.

While Lu Ye was destroying the bodies, Shang Tianti organized people to repair and rebuild the village.

Fortunately, the village where everyone lived was originally very simple. Except for the wooden house in the middle which looked like a building, the others were simple thatched houses, and some were even holes dug in the ground.

These thatched houses were easy to repair, and even the wooden house in the middle was quickly rebuilt with the help of these strong villagers.

As for the roads in the village, they are completely dirt roads. They can be paved directly with loess and then repaired.

Today, the demon tribe came here with great fanfare, but to them, it was just a hunt.

The main purpose of this trip was to collect taxes and catch a few fresh two-legged sheep.

It’s just that the demons have always been accustomed to riding on the necks of humans and acting tyrannically.

There is still savagery in them. They are unwilling to let humans kneel down and surrender. They would rather come down and rob directly, which is why what happened today happened.

Therefore, although the village looked chaotic at the time, the casualties were not that severe.

There were about a dozen dead and several times as many injured.

After finishing everything, Lu Ye and Shang Tianti sat cross-legged in the big wooden house in the middle. For a moment, they were silent and didn't know where to start.

"Fellow Daoist Shang," Lu Ye coughed, "I am new to this world and there are still many things I don't understand. Please feel free to enlighten me!"

"Because of the situation, we were forced to target each other before."

"But now that we are here, if we want to survive, we have to stick together!"

"Perhaps there will be a day when I can return to the afterlife!"

Shang Tianti smiled bitterly, looking a little dazed.

"Can I still return to the afterlife? I don't dare to think about it!"

"Since you are so kind, I will also dare to call you fellow Taoist."

"As for all matters in this world, I will naturally tell you everything I know and will say it all."

"But I led my people to huddle in this remote place and barely survive. The information I got was just a few words from the demon tribe. I am not sure whether it is true or not."

Shang Tianti calmed himself down, organized his words and spoke eloquently.

Today, this world is ruled by the demons, and it has been nearly ten thousand years.

In the past, there were countless monks from the demon clan who were trying to overcome tribulations. Every thousand years, there would be a member of the clan who would successfully break through the boundaries and ascend to the upper realm, becoming an immortal.

However, in the past few thousand years, it has been rumored that no more outstanding people among the demons have ascended to heaven.

As for the monks who are transcending tribulation, although they can still ensure the continuity of inheritance, both the number and scale are far from what they used to be.

The demon clan no longer has the invincible momentum that it had when it established its rule.

Especially the monks who are transcending tribulation also have to face the terrifying heavenly tribulation. Over the thousands of years, they have gradually withered away, and now it is said that only three ancestors of the demon clan are still alive.

However, there are also monks in the Tribulation Crossing stage among other powerful races on earth.

Although their foundation is not as deep as that of the demon clan, their numbers are also inferior.

But if some of these great monks from other races are lucky enough to successfully ascend to heaven and become immortals, the seemingly solid rule of the demon race will inevitably be impacted.

"Why?"

Lu Ye asked in surprise.

In later generations, the human world went through many rounds of civil wars in the world of immortal cultivation, and countless valuable classics were destroyed in the flames of war.

Not to mention the secrets of overcoming tribulations and ascending to immortality, even the many tricks of the spiritual realm cultivators have become secrets.

Shang Tianti shook his head and admitted that he didn't know either.

However, in the past, when the White Tiger Demon King entertained important figures, many village chiefs of the human race were recruited with their young and strong men and women to do labor.

He had heard some gossip from the little demon.

The head of a clan who becomes an immortal must have great opportunities, great luck, and great merits. He can gather the luck of the entire clan and ascend to heaven. After achieving enlightenment and becoming an immortal, he can give back to his clan members.

Now, apart from the demons, the monster clan has the largest number of cultivators in the tribulation period, with two ancestors.

According to rumors, in ancient times, hundreds of races fought for supremacy, and the demon race was able to win. It is said that this happened after the first immortal in the race ascended to heaven.

After listening to this, Lu Ye seemed to be thinking about something.

This thing sounds a bit mysterious. I don't know whether it's true or not without consulting the consultant. I won't think about it for now.

However, judging from the information known to later generations, it was inevitable that the demon race would overthrow the rule of the monster race.

It seems that the good days of the demon race will not last long, but it’s a pity that the good days of our human race are still far away.

Lu Ye suddenly had an idea and said seriously.

"Fellow Daoist Shang, have you ever used magic before except today?"

"You should know that you and I are from the future. If our souls are searched and all our information is known, it will be a huge trouble." Apart from anything else, he doesn't care about the life or death of the demon clan.

But if the secret is leaked and the human race is killed and exterminated prematurely, wouldn’t the two of them become sinners?
Shang Tianti smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I've been hiding my tail and behaved like a human being. Unless I was forced into a corner today, how would I dare to use magic?"
As for the news of leaks, fellow Taoists don’t have to worry.

He pointed directly to the sky and said solemnly that the world has its own rules. If you want to reveal the news of future generations to the person concerned, you will find that you cannot say a word or leave out a single word.

If I insist on doing it, I can feel a great terror in the dark and I will be wiped out directly.

There is a faint light wave covering those key memories, and outsiders are afraid that they cannot be seen.

After hearing this, Lu Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he didn't have to worry about becoming a sinner of the human race.

His expression changed, and he asked again, "These tribesmen's skills vaguely reflect the shadow of later martial arts, but were they passed down by Brother Shang?"
Shang Tianti nodded and shook his head.

He only taught the Lingyun Sect's Lingyun Sanshou, a self-defense and physical fitness technique, to his new disciples. Other martial arts techniques had nothing to do with him.

But the strange thing is that when he came here, these human beings already had a systematic martial arts foundation.

Otherwise, the weak human race will not be able to survive.

You know, many weak races have been directly annihilated in the tide of history. If they want to survive, they must have a certain ability to protect themselves.

The human race cannot compare to those powerful races, but it is still a terrifying existence to the wild beasts in the mountains and rivers.

Daily hunting and planting and cultivating spiritual fields are also their means of survival.

In other words, if you want to be enslaved by the demons, you must be worthy of slavery, otherwise the human race would have been eaten up by the demons long ago.

Lu Ye was very curious after hearing this.

Shang Tianti was born into the famous Lingyun Sect. He had been following the traditional path of cultivating immortals since childhood and had little knowledge of martial arts.

Lu Ye was different. He was born a refugee and rose up in a rebellious army. Only after he became a Martial Saint did he embark on the path of cultivating immortals.

He has a much more sophisticated eye for martial arts.

The people in the village are agile, methodical and rigorous, and you can tell at first glance that they follow a systematic martial arts routine.

One can clearly see the shadow of later martial arts from this.

Although it was not obvious, he clearly recognized that several of the martial arts were the ones he had learned.

For example, the Gale Blade and the Gale Spear, which were learned from my second brother Wang Hu's master, are actually common stuff.

Of course, this world is a world of cultivating immortals, and the human race is a weak race, so this kind of abnormality has not been noticed by anyone.

The two changed the topic and talked about the current situation of the human race in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Shang Tianti scratched his head with a look of pain on his face.

When he arrived, the White Tiger Demon King had fifty-eight villages under his command. Over the past fifty years, the demon clan had no idea why the tax burden had become heavier day by day.

Many villages could no longer survive and some people fled and became refugees.

Some villages were unable to pay the taxes and were exterminated by the demons as an example to others.

This village used to have more than 2,000 people, but now, in just fifty years, the population has been reduced by half.

It will take at least a few more decades to survive, and I'm afraid this village will be broken up.

The lords of the Shiwan Mountains are the three Demon Kings.

The White Tiger Demon King is the only female demon among them. According to past revelations from demons, people like the White Tiger Demon King are considered to be the kindest among the demons.

The other two are the Bull Demon King who has a bad temper and likes killing, and the Wild Boar Demon King who is the oldest, cunning and loves to eat people.

The three Demon Kings each belong to a different Demon Emperor and have different backings, and small-scale wars and conflicts often break out between them.

If the monsters were fighting each other and a small wave of violence reached the human villages, it would be a catastrophic disaster.

Human villages are often innocently implicated and suffer heavy casualties, or even entire villages are wiped out.

Today, several Jindan demons under the command of the White Tiger Demon King led a team of demon soldiers to the village to collect taxes. However, they have always been barbaric and like to see blood when collecting taxes, which led to this situation.

Lu Ye shook his head after hearing this.

The human race has an inferior status to that of dogs in this world.

They work hard like oxen and horses every day and provide taxes to the demon tribe.

After working so hard for a long time, your life is still not guaranteed and you may be put on the table and treated like a lamb at any time.

This is truly the worst day for the human race.

Now the problem is, Lu Ye and Monk Tian Ladder have descended into this fucked up world together, and it is still unknown whether they can go back.

As two human beings, how can we survive in this world where humans are inferior to dogs?
"Lao Shang," Lu Ye didn't even call him fellow Taoist, "If I don't come, how are you going to live?"

Shang Tianti covered his face and sighed.

"My path to enlightenment has been cut off, my cultivation has not improved but has regressed, and naturally I am no longer able to protect my people."

"Don't be ridiculous, I've actually thought about it. I might as well go to the White Tiger Demon King and have a demon mark carved on my head, and become one of his followers."

"What does the life and death of this village have to do with me? I just happened to be here. I can survive without their help."

Lu Ye patted Shang Tianti on the shoulder and said that life in this difficult time is so difficult that it is understandable to slack off occasionally.

He cursed in his heart.

Lao Shang, I knew you were such an unreliable person.

Having been used to having everything go smoothly in Lingyun Sect since childhood, he tends to go to extremes when faced with the slightest setback.

After being missing for several years, your master promoted your junior brother to be the new next generation leader. Your Taoist partner Qi Fangfang abandoned you, so you set up a trap to kill your junior brother, and then ran to the East China Sea to do a business with no capital and became a robbery cultivator.

After joining the Dragon Snatching Alliance, he liked to cling to others and clung to his own powerful opponent.

People like you need to be dealt with harshly. You need to suppress him psychologically and control him so that you can control him!
Lu Ye's expression remained unchanged. He comforted Shang Tianti with a few words, and then the two went to rest.

The next day, when Shang Tianti opened his eyes, he found Lu Ye sitting cross-legged opposite him. There was a faint smell of blood on his body and he was full of murderous intent.

"Lao Shang, how long have you not practiced?"

Shang Tianti's heart trembled, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "My path to the Tao is cut off, what is there to practice?"
Brother Lu, I see that you have murderous intentions. Are you ready to let me escape?
Lu Ye laughed and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Don't be discouraged, Lao Shang, and don't let your imagination run wild!"

"You and I are already supporting each other, how could I kill you?"

"If it were in the future, the severance of your path would be a problem, but what is the problem here?"

"This world is full of treasures. You know my abilities. Once I become a god, I will go out and look for treasures for you!"

"From now on, the two of us will support this small village together, you in the light and I in the dark."

"how?"

Shang Tianti shook his head sadly, feeling disdainful.

Who can’t paint a big picture?
Who knows when you will become a god? And is the road to cultivation always smooth? Maybe you will die halfway?
Seeing that he didn't trust her, Lu Ye smiled calmly.

"Lao Shang, who do you think I am? Let me make it clear first, don't get angry!"

He transformed himself into Lan He, a Jindan Taoist priest recruited by Lingyun Sect. He bowed to Shang Tianti and said, "Greetings to the Supreme Saint."

Lu Ye transformed himself again, turning into the Green Ape Demon King in the Mozhu Secret Realm, with a gavel in his hand, which he slammed down hard!
Bold prisoner, if you have any treasures, bring them here quickly, or be careful of the guillotine!
He transformed himself again, wearing a golden dragon mask and a white robe, and his powerful Nascent Soul magical powers blossomed.

"Tian Canjian, do you still recognize me, the deputy leader of the Dragon Stealing Alliance, Taoist Miyan?"

Shang Tianti was stunned. He was stunned for a moment before he stomped his feet.

Fellow Daoist Lu, you have caused me so much pain!

Why are you always my victim?
