Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 635 Jade Purity Saint Ancestor Zi Yuanjun! The Daoist Temple of the Old Mother of Lishan!
Luo Fu, who was right behind Bai Qing and the other two snakes, only sensed a fleeting spatial fluctuation after they entered the so-called blessed land. However, when he himself flew to the location where the spatial fluctuation had passed, there was nothing unusual about the spot where the spatial fluctuation had just appeared.

Luo Fu raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing an expression of interest.

Although he had guessed beforehand that the blessed land and cave heaven mentioned by the white and green snakes must be extraordinary, Luo Fu did not expect it to be so mysterious.

However, Luo Fu was not unprepared for this. He carefully examined the area that had swallowed the white and green snakes, as if searching for any clues.

And at the same time.

The white and green snakes, who had suddenly crossed a spatial barrier, discovered after entering this blessed land that Luo Fu, who had been closely following them, had not appeared at all.

The two sisters exchanged a glance.

Xiaoqing said, "Sister, it seems those guys haven't followed us!"

"Xiaoqing, you must not be disrespectful to the gods," the White Snake scolded.

Perhaps because Luo Fu was not present, the conversation between the White and Green Snakes had a touch of theatrical style.

The reason for this is actually quite simple.

The White and Green Snakes are, after all, demons. Although they now have the ability to transform into human form, their understanding of humans ultimately comes from imitation.

Compared to the common people, the White and Green Snakes actually imitated more from the opera tunes.

Xiaoqing nodded blankly, then her eyes darted around and she said, "Sister, since that guy didn't follow us, does that mean we don't have to listen to him anymore? At worst, after we leave here, we can go to the north. The world is so big, surely that guy can't find us sisters all the time."

The White Snake, however, revealed a solemn expression and said, "Xiao Qing, since we have promised the High God, we must not have any thoughts of breaking our promise. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to our Daoist beliefs."

"Oh dear, what about Dao heart? We sisters have finally cultivated to become human, and we can't just listen to that... that god and stay obediently in this blessed land forever. Sister, I also want to see the prosperity of the human world." Xiaoqing said coquettishly, grabbing the white snake's wrist and shaking it.

Not to mention Xiaoqing, even Bai She wanted to.

Many monsters seek to transform into human form in order to witness the splendor of the human world.

Even gods are not immune to the allure of human pleasures, let alone demons.

Just as the two sisters were falling in love.

A voice, seemingly calm and collected, came from beside them. But to the ears of the White and Green Snakes, it was like a thunderclap.

"So eager to experience the splendor of the world, it seems you sisters are truly planning to betray your promise?"

Following the sound, an invisible ripple of space arose.

Luo Fu's figure appeared out of thin air in front of the White and Green Snakes.

The two sisters gasped in surprise, startled, and quickly bowed to Luo Fu, their hearts filled with unease, wondering how much Luo Fu had overheard.

The White Snake, in particular, was secretly annoyed that she had actually been tempted by Xiaoqing's words to betray her faith.

"God, please forgive us. We sisters have not yet shed our worldly desires. We wish to spend the rest of our lives following your command and cultivate in seclusion in this blessed land until we attain enlightenment." The White Snake's heart was filled with unwavering resolve at this moment.

They ignored the apologies from the two snakes, Bai and Qing.

After joking around, Luo Fu began to take in this blessed land.

The reason he was able to appear before the White and Green Serpents without being accepted by this blessed land was not because he had found a way to enter or leave it, but because he bypassed it using his own methods.

Don't forget, Luo Fu can use his divine power to travel freely between the underworld and the human world.

Previously, when helping the Green Serpent transform, Luo Fu had left spatial coordinates, mixed with boundless vitality, on the Green Serpent's body.

If the Green Snake can enter the blessed land, then Luofu can also use her as a coordinate to enter this place.

Once inside, the Green Snake and the White Snake lose their meaning for Luofu.

Now, Luo Fu's greater interest lies in this special space, separate from the human world and the underworld.

The moment Luo Fu glanced around, he realized that this was a space with a radius of no more than five or six hundred kilometers.

The distance between the sky and the earth is only a hundred miles.

The vastness of the sky and the immensity of the earth in this space can be easily calculated; the total distance between them is only three or four hundred li.

At first glance, apart from a solitary mountain peak, there is only a limited plain, and the most central area is undoubtedly the pool where the miraculous herb that can bring people back to life grows.

The pool where Fahai and the Green Snake used to play was actually the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was most concentrated in this blessed land.

Moreover, Luo Fu also discovered that on the highest and only mountain, there was a seemingly unreal architectural phantom.

Faintly, one can discern several large seal script characters on the plaque above the building's main entrance.

However, the only legible part of the large seal script characters, whether due to its antiquity or other reasons, is the five characters following "Holy Ancestor Zi Yuan Jun".

However, anyone familiar with the Taoist pantheon would easily guess, based on the White Snake's identity, that the large characters on the plaque undoubtedly refer to the Jade Purity Saint Ancestor, Zi Yuanjun.

This title is actually not very common, but if you mention another name, countless people will suddenly realize its meaning.

Old Mother of Lishan.

That's right.

Yuqing Holy Ancestor Ziyuanjun is another name for Lishan Laomu.

High on the mountain, the only building has a plaque that identifies it as the Old Mother of Lishan.

Apart from that, there is no other clue to be found in this space.

If it weren't for the fact that, in the Great Dao inheritance obtained from that jade slip, one could vaguely hear a male immortal preaching, then it would be entirely certain that the White Snake inherited the legacy of the Old Mother of Lishan.

However, a jade slip recording a male immortal's sermon unexpectedly led the White and Green Snakes directly to what appeared to be the Daoist temple left behind by the Old Mother of Lishan, which left people somewhat puzzled.

In particular, even Fahai, a Buddhist disciple who cultivated the Eight Heavenly Dragons and the Mahoraga Great Python God, was allowed to enter this place.

The fact that Luo Fu specifically needed to leave spatial coordinates on Xiao Qing in order to sneak in raises even more questions.

Just as the white and green snakes were trembling with fear.

A crane's cry rang out, and the next moment, a crane, like an arrow released from a bow, rushed towards Luofu.

I saw cranes flying by in the distance.

Luo Fu's eyes lit up.

A twig suddenly sprouted and then grew rapidly, transforming into a dense forest in the short span of time, directly blocking the crane's path.

When the crane realized that the road was blocked, it was too late to turn back.

It wasn't that it didn't want to turn back, but the wildly growing branches, like an overwhelming net, descended upon it, leaving no room to escape. Only a mournful cry escaped its lips.

The crane struggled as it was firmly bound by the seemingly flexible branches.

The branches gracefully carried the crane to Luofu.

"Let me go, let me go." A somewhat childish voice came from the crane's beak.

Luo Fu was not surprised by this.

After all, this crane was capable of fighting the White and Green Snakes without being at a disadvantage; how could it be just a simple spirit beast?

Just like how the Celestial Hound is a hunting dog by Erlang Shen's side, but if it were in the mortal world, it would be a deity.

The same goes for this crane.

The white and green snakes came to steal the immortal herb that could bring people back to life. How could the crane agree to it? But with Fahai, a Buddhist monk who was the reincarnation of Mahoraga, mediating the dispute.

Only cranes can keep one eye open and one eye closed.

Now that it has fallen into Luofu's hands, it has truly run into a brick wall.

Seeing that no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't break free from the branches binding it, the crane looked at Luo Fu with a fierce but weak expression and said in a crisp voice, "How dare you, you wild cultivator from somewhere? How dare you cause trouble in Yuanjun's Daoist temple? Release me at once!"

He flicked his finger at the crane's head.

With a cry of pain, Luo Fu said, "You are a crane, not a fox pretending to be powerful. I know this place is the Taoist temple of the Old Mother of Lishan."

"Since you know that, why don't you let me go right now?" The crane struggled again.

"Where is the Old Mother of Lishan?" Luo Fu asked bluntly, "You are a disciple of the Old Mother, so do you know where the Old Mother of Lishan is now?"

The crane suddenly stopped. It blinked and looked at Luo Fu hesitantly, asking, "Who exactly are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crane seemed to have just noticed the white and green snakes behind Luo Fu. Its eyes lit up and it said, "It's you two! How dare you bring this rogue cultivator to Yuanjun's Daoist temple to cause trouble!"

The White and Green Snakes looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that this was the first time the White and Green Snake sisters had ever been to this blessed land.

But strangely enough, this crane, which had clearly been guarding this place for who knows how long, was able to recognize them at a glance.

This is somewhat intriguing.

The White Snake stepped forward and asked, "Young master, do you know us sisters?"

Although the crane appears to be large, its crisp voice makes it easy to tell that it is still very young.

“You two inherited the legacy of the Primordial Lord, so of course I recognize you two.” The crane clearly placed its hopes for escape on the two snakes, Bai and Qing.

It's all about pulling strings and creating an air of mystery.

Unfortunately, while the White and Green Snakes might be easy to fool, Luo Fu was clearly not going to fall for it so easily.

With the crane bound by branches, Luo Fu gracefully headed towards the palace atop the mountain.

"Halt! This is the Yuanjun Daoist Temple; no disrespect is permitted." Even as a prisoner, the crane had not forgotten its duty. Even its voice became urgent.

Since it remained in this Taoist grotto, it was clearly not simply to guard that immortal herb that could bring people back to life.

Otherwise, even if Fahai intervened to mediate, the fact that the immortal herb was stolen would be the crane's dereliction of duty.

The only explanation is that the crane stayed in the Taoist temple to guard the immortal herbs, which was just a side job. Its real task was to guard this blessed land.

As for a magical herb that can bring the dead back to life, it might be a rare and precious spiritual root in other places, but it is clearly within the scope of what the crane can decide.

It's like guarding an orchard. You can decide the fate of a single fruit, but the orchard itself is the real responsibility, and you can't afford to lose it.

Luo Fu's current approach of heading straight for the palace on the mountaintop is clearly seen by the crane as a challenge to its duty.

"This is the Lishan Laomu Daoist Temple. How could I be so presumptuous here?" Luo Fu glanced at the crane and said, "I just want to pay my respects to the Lishan Laomu Daoist Temple. Don't make a fuss and disturb the peace of the temple."

"No! Master instructed that no one is allowed to enter the dojo." The crane persisted.

But Luofu wouldn't listen to a bird.

When Luo Fu actually arrived at this building, he realized that it was not a building at all, but simply an illusion left behind by the real Lishan Laomu Taoist temple from who knows how long ago.

However, it is unclear whether this is due to the passage of time or the impact of the great changes in the world.

The temple is transitioning from a physical to an abstract concept.

Even on the plaque, only five large seal characters that could be clearly identified remained. Apart from that, the rest of the area was nothing more than a visible but intangible phantom.

Having also noticed the problem with the building, the crane seemed completely distraught.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Seeing the crane's distraught appearance, Luo Fu asked, "Didn't you know that this temple has become like this?"

With its head lowered, the crane said aggrievedly, "I am only guarding the grotto-heaven and am not qualified to enter here."

Calculating the time, nearly a hundred years have passed since the great changes in the world. During this long period of time, the cranes guarding the cave have never dared to set foot on the Taoist temple.

At first glance, this claim seems like utter nonsense.

But upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that this is perfectly reasonable.

For true disciples of great masters, rules are of utmost importance.

No rules, no standards.

The laws of Heaven are the rules set by powerful beings, and this blessed land is a world created by the powerful being, the Old Mother of Lishan. The rules she set are the laws of this place.

Without the permission of the Old Mother of Lishan, let alone whether the crane would dare to enter the Taoist temple, it would be a question of whether it could even do so.

As for a hundred years or ten years, how could a crane with its cultivation level endure such a small blessed land?

If it doesn't even have this much patience, how can it be expected to fulfill the responsibility of guarding the temple for the Old Mother of Lishan?

Faced with this dojo that was now nothing more than an illusion, it was clear that whatever ideas Luo Fu had before could only be abandoned.

This place, which has now become a virtual reality, is now just a void illusion, except for the faint traces of the majesty of the old mother of Lishan and the Jade Pure Ancestor Ziyuanjun.

There were absolutely no valuable clues left behind.

Perhaps the only clue left is this crane that was captured by Luofu.
