Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 687: Manifestation of the Dao Lord
On both sides of the middle-aged Taoist priest with three eyes and a snake tail were a group of musicians playing music, and in the middle of the cabin, there was a woman dancing alone.

It was this alien master that Lu Ye met last time in the long river of time and space. He had already cultivated to the Mahayana realm and became a saint.

Because he missed his deceased wife, this saint often wandered in the long river of time and space. Then he took the imprint of his deceased wife's soul from the river, created a puppet body, and made it exist for a moment.

At this time, he was relatively easy to talk to, and answered many of Lu Ye's questions last time.

He just couldn't mention his deceased wife. For some reason he became so sad and crying that he suddenly threw Lu Ye off the boat and left alone.

Of course, Lu Ye also could not forget those monks who were unlucky enough to fall from the sky and happened to be near his ship.

They were all punished by the manifested Saint for disturbing him from watching his deceased wife dance, and were all strung on poles erected around the ship.

Last time, Lu Ye drank a cup of his fairy wine and learned the concept of "stone" from him, which benefited him a lot.

But before leaving, he threw Lu Ye into the river. If it were another monk, he would have died.

See you again now.

Lu Ye was frightened and was about to row the boat away.

This great god cannot be offended or seen.

Who knows whether his emotions are stable?

It would be very bad if the Manifested Supreme Saint was in a bad temper.

But suddenly a cry of "eh" came from the big ship.

"I didn't expect that there are people who have mastered this space-time technique so well that they can turn it into a small boat and cross the river."

"Why don't we meet and have a chat, little friend?"

A wave hit and turned the place into a water prison, directly pulling Lu Ye onto the big ship.

Lu Ye was helpless, smiled bitterly, and bowed.

"Senior Xianhua, I am Lu Ye Lu Shitou, and I am glad to see you again."

The Manifested Holy One glanced at him.

I didn't recognize who he was at first glance.

When he took a second look, he was surprised to see the sundial mark above Lu Ye’s head.

"I have seen this sundial mark."

"So it's you, kid."

"Hey, how come you didn't die the last time you were trapped in the river of time and space?"

Lu Ye didn’t know how to answer. Senior, do you want me to die?

Fortunately, the drum beat changed at this moment, and the woman with the snake tail in the middle of the cabin performed the Hu Xuan dance with her colorful skirt fluttering.

The Manifested Supreme Saint's attention was immediately drawn to him, and he waved impatiently at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye sat down tactfully, silently accompanying the big man to appreciate the dance, while observing the surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

First of all.

Many years must have passed.

The last time we met, the Holy Manifestation was still young and it was hard to tell how old he was. But when we meet now, the Holy Manifestation looks like a middle-aged man.

In addition, the current cultivation level of the Manifested Saint is probably no longer at the Mahayana realm, but most likely at the Tribulation Crossing realm.

It has grown from a boulder as big as a millstone to a boulder at the bottom of the river.

The reason is simple. The last time I saw this big guy, the large ship evolved from his skills was only a dozen feet long.

And now the boat under our feet is several dozen feet long, which must be a great progress.

Also.

Lu Ye glanced at the woman with the snake-tail dancing in the middle of the deck.

This woman did not give any feedback of her soul light in the Fish-Dragon Diagram's perspective, so she was still a puppet.

It was so real that it could be mistaken for the real thing, with breathing, heartbeat, moving eyes, and even fluctuations of magical power.

If Lu Ye used his naked eyes and spiritual sense to observe, he really couldn't tell the real from the fake.

This woman looks 90% like the deceased wife of the Most Holy Manifestation, but they are probably not the same person.

and so.

Is the Manifested Saint in love with someone else? Or is there something else going on?
Lu Ye's face seemed as if he was fascinated by the dance, and all kinds of thoughts were running through his mind.

After a while.

Finally the song ended.

The woman squatted slightly and bowed.

Lu Ye hurriedly stood up and returned the salute. He did not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's. He treated the puppet as a living person and gave it enough value to manifest the most holy emotions.

really.

Lu Ye bowed, which made the Holy Manifestation very happy. He called the woman to him, held her in his arms, and drank with her in an intimate manner.

Only then did he have time to chat with Lu Ye.

"My dear friend, the last time I saw you swimming upstream, I thought we would never meet again. I didn't expect that three thousand years later, we would meet again."

Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, he had only stayed in the Middle Ages for five hundred years, but he did not expect that three thousand years had passed since the manifestation of the Supreme Saint. As he said, although the two seemed to have met in the long river of time and space, their respective timelines were messed up.

People today are simply unable to tell the difference between ancient and modern people.

Lu Ye replied that it was the younger generation's good fortune that allowed him to see the senior again.

He spoke so nicely that the Manifested Holy One laughed out loud and forgot to ask him how he survived.

Perhaps in the eyes of such a big shot, it was just a casual question. After all, I was just an ant. It was good to be alive, but there was nothing to regret about dying. It was all God's will.

"It's fate that we meet. Give me some wine..." He was obviously in a good mood. With a wave of his sleeves, a glass of wine appeared in front of Lu Ye.

But as the spiritual energy spread and the mellow fragrance entered the soul, it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary item.

Lu Ye had almost burst from the alcohol last time, so he took it carefully this time, only lightly touched his lips with it before putting it down.

Sure enough, the magic power and spiritual awareness in the body increased sharply, but fortunately it did not break the sea of ​​​​qi and sea of ​​​​consciousness, and did not cause a tragedy like last time.

"It is a gift from the elders, and I should have drunk it all in one gulp."

"It's just that my cultivation is shallow, so I can't have a drink. I can only drink a little."

The Most Holy Manifestation is very magnanimous.

"No problem, I'll give it to you as a reward."

He asked with a smile while hugging the woman in his arms.

"My dear friend, what do you think of watching the dance today?"

"How does it compare to last time?"

After hearing this, Lu Ye immediately felt overwhelmed.

Who knows what answer you want to hear from the Holy Manifestation?

Who knows if you are a lovesick person or a playboy?

If I answer wrong, I won’t be unable to get off the boat, right?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

If this manifested saint was really a playboy, with his level of cultivation, he should be able to bring a real person into the long river of time and space, instead of creating a puppet and making it dance, with an appearance very similar to his wife.

Lu Ye hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly, but spoke euphemistically.

"Senior, how can I know anything about dancing?"

"It's just arty."

"But I know a little bit about wine."

"The wine today may taste better than before, but it is no longer the wine that my senior and I first met."

The Manifested Holy Saint was in a trance for a moment and gave a bitter smile.

"Yes, no matter how good or beautiful the dance today is, it is not the dance we first saw yesterday."

"I can't compare. How can I compare?"

He pushed the woman in his arms out in boredom and discarded her like a worn-out shoe.

Wow.

The three-eyed woman fell to the ground and turned into a pile of broken parts. The Manifested Supreme Saint spoke in a bleak tone.

"I missed my late wife so much that I wandered through time and space all day long."

"Absorb the imprint of their souls that they left in the long river of time and space, until there is nothing left to absorb."

"This is just a mark left after the death of a woman from her clan who looked similar to her."

"Even if she looks exactly the same, she is not her after all."

The Manifested Holy Saint shook his head, not wanting to talk about the past anymore, he said seriously.

"When we parted last time, I told you that if we meet again, I would allow you to ask me questions and talk about the secrets of this long river of time and space."

"I keep my word. Do you have anything to ask?"

Lu Ye was relieved to see that the Manifested Sage had avoided the pitfall of his deceased wife.

He hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

"Senior, I don't have any questions about the long river of time and space for now."

"But do you know something about the Heavenly Demon, Senior?"

Lu Ye is not in a hurry about the matters concerning the long river of time and space.

I went through it twice, and I'm afraid even the Holy Saint of Manifestation has never seen such a thing.

After the fire-transmitting incident, Lu Ye calmed down and decided to work hard, leaving the rest to God.

No matter where I go this time, as my cultivation level increases, it will be more difficult to return to the human world again.

Then we can only wait quietly for the arrival of the big wave in the long river of time and space. If it doesn’t come, Lu Ye will have no choice.

So why not ask another question.

For example, Lu Ye was very interested in the Demon Realm mentioned by the Hundred-Year-Old Demon Ancestor.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Manifestation's expression changed and he sighed slowly.

"Demon..."

"That is a terrifying and bizarre existence that has destroyed countless immortal realms."

"Since you want to ask, I might as well give you a few pointers."

The Manifested Holy Saint pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.

It turns out that a long time ago, when all the worlds came into being, no one had ever heard of the existence of the demon clan.

However, as spiritual energy appeared in the universe, living beings began to practice cultivation, killing increased, and endless resentment and wronged souls were created, and in the end, no one knew where they went.

I don’t know from which day.

Suddenly, there are more demons in the world.

The devil is almost a collection of all the despicable qualities of all living beings in the world, and he also likes killing.

But it is invisible and intangible, yet can appear in the thoughts of a cultivator, becoming a difficult hurdle for the cultivator in his or her tribulation process, and is very difficult to deal with.

In addition, the demon world will have the impulse to expand into the realms of all immortal beings and destroy everything.

Throughout history, several prosperous realms were destroyed by invasions from the demonic world. All living beings were slaughtered, and places with abundant spiritual energy were turned into barren, deathly evil places.

But the demon is extremely difficult to kill, because it has the innate ability to transform between the invisible and the visible, the real and the unreal.

Most of the cultivators in the myriad worlds are humanoid races that exist in real physical form.

Powerful monks can deal with visible and tangible enemies, but they are much less capable of dealing with invisible and intangible enemies.

Of course, the demons also have weaknesses.

One is the fear of thunder. Thunder contains two extreme rules, destruction and birth, which can destroy all living things, especially evil beings like demons.

Secondly, they are afraid of merit. Extreme evil cannot overwhelm extreme good. Those with profound merit can have an overwhelming impact on the demons.

When Lu Ye heard this, he couldn't help but recall the time when his family was undergoing the divine transformation tribulation, a demon came excitedly, but then fled into the passage in panic. Because he was too flustered, he broke his fingers when closing the passage.

Also, during this time of transcending the calamity of refining emptiness, the demon did not show up and was directly illuminated by the golden light of merit across the realm. He let out a scream and did not show up from beginning to end.

It's just that merit can protect one person alone, but if the devil really wants to descend into the human world, other people don't have such huge merit to protect them.

Lu Ye raised his hand sincerely.

"Senior, the realm where I am located has been leaked to the Heavenly Demon Clan by someone with ulterior motives."

"Is there any hope?"

The Manifested Sage was stunned after hearing this and shook his head decisively.

"It's hopeless. It's hopeless."

He pointed at himself and said, "Our clan was invaded by the demons and had two realms broken through."

"Besides completely cutting off ties with the old world, what other options are there?"

When the Holy Manifestation said this, he suddenly became emotional and burst into tears.

"Just like my beloved wife, she died in the demonic calamity that year."

"Now that I have achieved the status of a Tribulation-crossing Dao Lord, am I unable to avenge her?"

"When a realm is targeted by the demons, the only way is to escape. If you escape quickly, you can revive your race like the remnants of us. If you escape too slowly, your race will be completely extinct."

Lu Ye groaned inwardly after hearing this.

This Manifestation of the Holy Saint... no, to be more precise, there's something wrong with the Manifestation of the Taoist Master. No matter what topic he talks about, he always ends up talking about his deceased wife.

Can't you just get over that hurdle?

You may be affectionate, but don't be too impulsive. You can't afford to mess with an impulsive Manifested Tao Lord.

Seeing that he was a little excited and out of control, Lu Ye hurried to take control of the situation.

"Senior, you don't have to be discouraged."

"Now you have reached the stage of transcending tribulation."

"If you become an immortal, maybe you will have a way to deal with the demons."

The Holy Manifestation was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Immortal?"

"So what if I become an immortal?"

"There are also people in my clan who have become immortals. It's just that there are more abundant resources for cultivating immortals, and the vast and boundless cave paradise has more cultivators who ascended to heaven, so it has become the fairyland."

"An immortal is nothing more than a cultivator who has become more powerful and whose life has been sublimated to its essence."

"If the demon could be dealt with, the immortal world should have taken action long ago."

"The spiritual energy of the immortal world can originally purify and restrain the demons."

"Don't count on them. Immortals have undergone a complete transformation. Some of them don't even recognize their previous racial identities. They think they are the beloved children of heaven and earth, transcendent people, beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements."

"The demons won't bother them anyway, so why would they care about the lives of the untouchables in the lower realm?"

"My beloved wife... If I can't avenge you, what's the point of me practicing this Tao?" As expected, the topic turned back to his deceased wife, and he burst into tears and roared angrily.

He is the Taoist who has transcended tribulations and is just one step away from ascending to immortality.

With a long angry roar and surging magic power, the unlucky people wearing clothes on the vertical poles around the boat were first shaken into pieces, and the surrounding river water was also affected and became extremely turbulent, with huge waves.

"puff……"

Lu Ye was caught off guard and was shocked, but fortunately he reacted quickly and used the golden light of merit to protect his body, but even so he still spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although there was a golden light all around like a curtain, the sound waves still seemed to be able to penetrate through every hole.

Lu Ye was shocked.

The gap between their cultivation levels is too huge. If Xianhua Daojun continues to roar, I'm afraid I'll have to follow in the footsteps of his deceased wife, right?
Just as Xianhua Daojun finished his roar, he took a deep breath and was about to roar like a thundering lion. Endless air currents rushed towards him, and he was like a black hole, sucking non-stop.

“Senior…” Lu Ye was so frightened that his soul almost dropped out of his body. He roared angrily using his spiritual sense to transmit his voice.

"What are you doing wasting your time on this river?"

"The Immortal World is just a bunch of idlers. You should quickly cultivate yourself into an Immortal and go and fix the Immortal World!"

"You practice diligently every day, yet you are able to achieve transcendence. This talent is a great responsibility bestowed by heaven, allowing you to be the savior of the world."

"When you become the strongest in the Immortal Realm, mobilize the power of the entire Immortal Realm and completely eradicate the Heavenly Demon Realm. Wouldn't that be revenge for your beloved wife?"

"What's the point of drinking and watching dancing here, and lamenting and wandering?"
