Chapter 429: The Road to Immortality
As the "bad disciple" in the eyes of the old Taoist priest, Xu Yuanchang was nimble and skillful. He used his magic power and true fire to tidy up a piece of rubble ground, making the ground as smooth as glass. He then placed three jade tables, a futon, wine cups, jade pots and other items according to the positions of the host and the guest.

The master was being polite and wanted to treat his old friend to a drink, so as his apprentice, of course he had to have the foresight to set the table.

In fact, he had no intention of establishing his own sect. He thought it was too troublesome. He was used to being a hands-off boss and was the one who was most afraid of trouble. When he proposed conditions to the old Taoist priest, it was just a joke.

Who would have thought that the old Taoist priest, who always liked to joke, would deliberately take it seriously, just to let him experience the feeling of being a sect leader.

There must be some hidden meaning in it, so he did not raise any objection and just chatted with the old Taoist priest and his two old friends.

Yu Fengwu took out several spiritual fruits and cakes, and busied herself with them, placing them on three jade tables with jade plates. She moved closer to Xu Yuanchang, blinked her eyes, and smiled as she whispered, "Have you decided on a name for the sect? Leave me a position as the head of the sword hall."

She stayed at Bitian Peak with her master, but was just temporarily staying at Mu Xiaoxiao's territory.

Mu Xiaoxiao tried to recruit her in front of her master, but she declined on the grounds that she had to travel around the seven regions.

Deep down, she didn't want to get involved with Mu Xiaoxiao.

At that time, masters led by Mu Xiaoxiao, Guan Qi Shusheng and other six great men from the Ninth Floor set up a great formation of heaven and earth, sealed off the Great Wilderness Mountain Area and buried the Immortal Continent, preparing to sacrifice the lives of all living beings on the continent to kill the monks. She was one of the victims who almost suffered.

She strongly disagreed with the cold-blooded behavior of Mu Xiaoxiao and others who treated all the creatures on the continent as ants.

Any high-sounding reason is just an excuse for personal selfishness.

Xu Yuanchang extended his hand to invite the master and the two distinguished guests to sit down, and replied in a voice transmission: "The name of our sect is 'Deng Xian Guan'. Fairy Yu has condescended to join our sect, which has not yet appeared. Yuanchang is grateful and in tears. How about you become the sect master?"

Yu Fengwu stood beside her master, rolled her eyes at the lazy guy, and said in a voice transmission: "You wish, I don't want to be the sect leader. This is a barren mountain that needs to be rebuilt. Sect Leader Xu, you should just work hard and slowly..."

Gao Jian couldn't bear it any longer, so he coughed and reminded his disciple to respect himself.

Don't let Xu kid lead you astray and start flirting with people.

He and old man Yanshan were no longer considered as beings of this world. They only needed to survive the thunder tribulation of ascension which was just a formality for them, and then they would become immortals on the spot. Even if they didn't want to listen, they could hear clearly the conversations between the little guys in the seventh floor.

They are so close, it's like two mosquitoes buzzing beside your ears.

Yu Fengwu understood instantly, her face flushed, and she glared at Xu who was pretending to be innocent.

Taoist Master Yanshan laughed and raised his cup, saying, "Old friends meet over a pot of wine, and talk about the past. Drinking is the best."

"please!"

"Drink victory!"

Mu Xiaoxiao's strength is far inferior to the other two, and she cannot hear the voice transmission from Xu Yuanchang and Yu Fengwu.

Her mind was on other things. After three rounds of wine, she asked the old Taoist priest for advice: "Brother Gu, please help me point out a clear path. After more than four thousand years, I still dare not easily overcome the tribulation and ascend to heaven. The last level is difficult. I have witnessed no less than five masters overcome the great thunder tribulation, and only one senior was able to ascend to the immortal world. The others were all reduced to ashes. After nearly ten thousand years of pursuit, they ended up with such a tragic result of death and destruction. I feel sympathetic when I see this, and I am unwilling to accept it for them."

When he said the latter part, his expression became gloomy.

He doesn't look like a master who can call the wind and rain in the small mountain area at all.

She would rather go to a Taoist priest for advice than discuss anything with Gao Jian.

Taoist Master Yanshan looked at Mu Xiaoxiao who was sitting on the right and said, "Li Dan has ascended to the upper realm. Can you let go of your grudge with him?"

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at Gao Jian, who was drinking by himself and seemed to be oblivious to what was happening. She understood that Gao Jian had already known about this matter and did not intend to seek trouble with the blackmailing beast. A hint of sarcasm appeared on her lips, and she said, "That guy is the most vindictive. I'm afraid he won't give up on pestering me, right?"

Taoist Master Yanshan knew his old friend's personality very well. He smiled and said, "If you can't find him, don't spend too much time looking for him. He won't reveal his identity before the time comes."

That evil beast had already reincarnated as a human, and used the identity of a sword cultivator as a cover.

How can one find it if a drop of water merges into the sea?

"You just walked away, leaving me, the weird Lin Sanren, the crazy Jia Shusheng and a few others like me alone. How are we going to deal with the revenge from Li Dan and the Shinto gang?"

Mu Xiaoxiao complained a few words and asked, "Master, you suddenly mentioned that annoying guy, so there must be a solution. Don't beat around the bush with me, just tell me how to deal with him."

She felt resentful in her heart that the two capable guys stayed out of the matter and left the trouble to her.

"A thousand years later, beyond the Nine Skies, I hope you can work together once. This is also an opportunity for you to ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future. But I need to remind you that you are in danger of falling!"

Taoist Master Yanshan spoke in a very calm tone, sounding alarmist.

Mu Xiaoxiao's face changed color. She would not doubt the old Taoist's prediction, nor did she mind cooperating with that disgusting guy.

However, the opportunity of ascending to heaven and the danger of falling coexisted, which made her feel uneasy and confused. Seeing the old Taoist raising his cup to invite her, she changed the subject, obviously she couldn't reveal the secret, otherwise there would be unexpected changes. She suppressed her thoughts and talked about the past with the old Taoist, and went back to look for Li Dan's whereabouts.

About an hour later, the simple banquet ended.

The old Taoist bowed and said goodbye to the two men, then disappeared into the void with his disciple.

Come with ease and leave with grace.

The old Taoist went to see an old friend who had reincarnated and didn't remember him. He accompanied Xu Yuanchang to travel all over the seven regions to see the scenic spots and historical sites, the great rivers and deserts, wandered around the mortal world, tasted all kinds of life, went in and out of the cities of cultivation, and mingled in dangerous places. He used the method of peeling silk from a cocoon to analyze the ruthlessness of the avenue, and pointed out a glimmer of hope in the vast heights of the immortal road.

"When the mind is in harmony with the Tao, keeping the Oneness will lead to spiritual enlightenment."

"All great enlightenments have been incurable. If the mind is not dead, the Tao will not be born. The end of the mind is the beginning of the Tao..."

After five years of listening day and night, Xu Yuanchang has benefited a lot.

He sorted out the direction of his practice, and most of his previous doubts were answered or he had some ideas about how to do it.

The two of them went around and returned to the East Continent of the East Travel Region. While waiting for the shop in Ban Town to finish its food and wine, the old Taoist wiped his mouth and said, "When I came from Qianfang Realm, I landed in Mingshan State and cultivated in the East Continent for many years. At that time, this place was relatively remote. I returned here to transcend the tribulation and finally achieved perfection."

The figure soared up and flew into the sky.

Xu Yuanchang hurriedly threw down a piece of silver and followed closely behind, wanting to see his master off.

Flying up to a height of three thousand feet, it was dark and freezing cold all around, and the Dongyou Region below was slowly rotating.

The old Taoist figure was dazzling and spotless, spreading the cultivation of the seven realms of the upper realm, like hundreds of birds returning to the forest and forming a fierce whirlwind. In an instant, the power of heaven was as thick as a cloud, and the thunder sounded like dense war drums.

Xu Yuanchang retreated three hundred miles away. He did not dare to get too close until the might of heaven could no longer affect his mood.

Taoist Master Yanshan casually looked at the catastrophe of heaven and earth, chanting: "From ancient times to the present, the saints and sages who have attained the Tao have accumulated merit internally and practiced externally to achieve the immortal level."

Just as he finished his words, colorful thunderbolts as thick as buckets struck down from the sky.

The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand and guided the heavenly thunder into his body. He used the heavenly thunder to forge his immortal body, and the light on his body became more and more dazzling.

He doesn't need to use magic weapons to resist, that would be a waste.

The huge noise of the tribulation in the sky immediately alarmed many masters on the East Continent of Dongyou Domain. A long rainbow came from afar and landed near Xu Yuanchang.

Xu Yuanchang recognized the old monster Le Yanzhi from the Nine-Storied Tower in the East Travel Region. He had seen him before in the sky above Nanhui Island in the Great Wilderness Mountain Region. He clasped his fists and bowed: "Xu Yuanchang greets Senior Le."

Le Yanzhi naturally recognized the mysterious Taoist priest in front of him who was highly regarded by Gao Jian. He smiled and raised his hand, saying, "You are welcome, young friend Xu." He looked at the figure in the distance who looked like an immortal, with a colorful glow all over his body, and asked in a voice transmission, "Who is this senior?"

Xu Yuanchang watched the figure draw the seven-colored thunder into his body one after another, and replied: "It's my master, Taoist Master Yanshan."

Le Yanzhi had already guessed the result. The important figure who could make Gao Jian greet him actively must be extraordinary.

He couldn't understand why these guys could break through to the tenth floor one by one and survive the terrifying heavenly tribulation, and it was as fun as kids playing house.

And he didn't even dare to go through the most common immortal tribulation in the Ninth Floor.

The gap is too big to be measured in miles.

Monks from the Eighth Floor Tower flew up one after another, and Ye Changmeng was among them. After paying his respects to Le Yanzhi, he watched the tribulation in the distance quietly like everyone else. In fact, he was talking to Xu Yuanchang through telepathy.

After about half an hour, the divine might that enveloped the area suddenly dissipated.

Taoist Master Yanshan's whole body was glowing with dazzling golden light, and he had achieved the body of a golden immortal, which stunned Le Yanzhi and others, except Xu Yuanchang and Ye Changmeng who knew the inside story.

Faint fairy music came from the sky.

"I am leaving as a teacher."

Taoist Master Yanshan flew upwards along with the guiding fairy rainbow and waved his hand towards Taoist Master Xu Yuan.

"We respectfully send Master to the immortal path!"

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"
