From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 369: The Secret of Immortality
"Are there many magical powers like this?"

Kunlun Tai's face was filled with surprise. His innate sword energy could only destroy, but this kind of magical power was far more mysterious than that.

"Not many, about seventy-two."

"Ah? There are so many?"

Li Yang put his hands behind his back and said aloud: "I have a secret method of immortality. I can burn mountains and boil seas, and live as long as the sky. I can also make water and fire balance, and all diseases will not occur. I also have the ability to communicate with the secluded, drive away spirits, carry mountains, ban water, borrow wind, spread fog, pray for clear weather, pray for rain, sit on fire, enter water, cover the sun, control the wind, and many other infinite magical powers."

The two were chatting in the mist when some villagers heard the noise. They came out wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas. When they saw the slope of peach trees outside the old woman's house, they immediately started arguing and making a mess.

Li Yang looked carefully and saw Kunlun Tai's expression. He knew that the hook had been put down. Some things cannot be rushed. He changed the subject and pointed down and said:
"Although we are still destined to be together, you still have some earthly ties to settle. This old woman has done you a favor. When will you end this favor and come find me again?"

"Looking for you, where to find you?"

"Within three days, we will go to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, and three days later, we will go to a mountain in southern Sichuan called 'White Cloud'."

After saying that, Li Yang waved his Taoist robe, and Kunlun Tai felt the sky and the earth in front of him spinning, the scenery kept changing, and after a period of weightlessness, he fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the weeds and stains on his body disappeared completely, and he was dressed like an ordinary human child. He looked at the reflection of the rain on the ground... In the shimmering light was a little boy with red lips and white teeth, with a frightened expression. How could he be the wild monkey in the mountains? -
Going all the way up, we came out of Hongchunping and passed Tianchi Peak, Xianfeng Temple, and Yuxian Temple. I didn't know when the snow had covered the area around me. At such an altitude, the mountain road had long been covered with ice and snow. If you stepped wrong, the snow would be up to your knees, and it would be difficult to pull it out.

At this time, Wang Shuhuan completely understood why this level was called Dao Heart.

All the way up, my eyelids have become heavy as a mountain, my mind is blank, every inch of muscle in my body is trembling, my eyelids are so heavy as if a thousand-pound burden is hanging on them, my heartbeat is slow and heavy, like a body with the soul taken away, I can only stretch my legs and take steps like a walking corpse.

They had been climbing for nineteen hours straight without sleep.

The mountain road ahead was already dark, and the lactic acid accumulated in the muscles made every step a torture.

This is because when checking in at Xianfeng Temple, there were also drinks to replenish the body's energy, otherwise Wang Shuhuan felt that he might not be able to hold on until this moment.

At this time, going hiking and climbing vines would be like seeking death. Your body functions have declined to this level, and your muscles are trembling. You will fall into danger if you are not careful.

Several reckless descendants of chaebols have been trapped on cliffs and forced to crush their nameplates and be eliminated.

"How far is it?"

An extremely weak female voice was heard from behind. Wang Shuhuan shook his head and barely regained some consciousness.

Wang Shuhuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten his dry and sore throat, and spoke with difficulty: "We still have a few kilometers to Jiulinggang. Four kilometers before Jiulinggang is Xixiangchi, then Leidongping, Jieyingdian, Taiziping, and finally Jinding."

"How long will it take?" Chen Li leaned on a wooden stick, her legs trembling, her face as pale as paper: "Six hours? Ten hours? Or a day and a night?"

Wang Shuhuan lowered his head: "I don't know, I don't know."

He remembered what Master Chi had said to them before he left.
"Everywhere there are tests, everywhere there are tortures, every step is a torment, without great determination and perseverance, there is no chance of seeing the true Dharma."

He is in this torment now.

Leg cramps, sit, crawl, leg cramps, sit, crawl, leg cramps…

Just like the stone steps in front, it loops endlessly, as if there is no end.
At this moment, Wang Shuhuan had no time to care about where the Yang brothers and sisters and the disciples of the chaebol had gone. Ever since they were left behind at Hongchunping, Tianchi Peak, Xianfeng Temple and Yuxian Temple behind them had not seen the backs of those people at all.

He could only be sure that his current progress was still among the top 1,000. As for anything more specific, his mind went blank.

Chen Li was leaning on a bamboo stick and crying as she looked at Wang Shuhuan walking in front of her. She felt extremely bitter. She met Wang Shuhuan on the stone steps one kilometer ahead.

This means that her initial five-kilometer lead has been gradually equaled by others.
And she had only completed 1/2 of the journey. The further she went, the worse her condition would become. She could only watch helplessly as the people behind her overtook her one by one.

Suddenly, she stumbled and leaned forward, screaming

"what!"

The mountain road was covered with frost and there was no foothold. Chen Li was not careful and slid down the ice and snow, then slid down smoothly. After sliding down dozens of stone steps, the momentum slowed down, and she stopped.

Wang Shuhuan, who heard the scream in front, turned around suddenly and saw Chen Li falling miserably. After hesitating for a moment, he turned back and wanted to help her.

"Shuhuan, I, I'm afraid I don't have a chance."

Chen Li slowly stood up with the help of Wang Shuhuan. She cried bitterly and had to tell the truth even though she was extremely unwilling.

"I was already at the end of my strength at Xianfeng Temple. If you hadn't just cheered me up, I would have given up long ago."

Chen Li's face was pale and she was sobbing. Her skin, which had just been rubbed by the hard ice surface, began to feel burning pain.

Wang Shuhuan shook Chen Li's weak shoulders and said calmly: "You can do it. Master Chi said that in the end it all comes down to perseverance. As long as we are in the first 1,800, we will win!"

Chen Li was choking with sobs: "I really can't do it anymore. I shouldn't have asked for leave for calisthenics in high school. Woo, woo, woo, I shouldn't have tried to be brave and climbed so fast at the beginning. I really don't have the strength anymore!"

When she realized what was happening, Chen Li, who was crying, pushed Wang Shuhuan away and said, "Why did you come down to help me? Hurry up and leave! You must pass the trial and enter Baiyun Taoist Temple! Hurry up and leave!"

Wang Shuhuan was still in a daze, but Chen Li had already pushed him away, crying, "Go away, I'm the squad leader, you have to listen to me."

"But……"

Chen Li wiped away her tears: "You are different from us. You are not born to be immersed in the secular world. You have things you must do!"

"There are many people ahead of you. You have to overtake them. I, I will continue to climb." Chen Li's choked and trembling body slowly calmed down. She pointed to the stone steps ahead and lowered her head.

Wang Shuhuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said something he himself did not believe: "Okay, I will wait for you at the Golden Summit, and we will enter the Baiyun Taoist Temple together."

He knew that given Chen Li's current condition, she would no longer have any chance.

She has already wasted a year, and her family will not let her apply to the Taoist temple next year.

Turn around silently, start moving forward silently,
After a few steps, Chen Li's voice came from behind: "Wait, this is for you!"

Before Wang Shuhuan could react, something hard was stuffed into his hand.

When I picked it up, it turned out to be a very beautiful five-colored stone.

"I don't have a chance anymore. You said this would be very helpful to you." Chen Li smiled miserably: "As the monitor of Class 4 of Nanyue Middle School, I order you to pass it!"

"it is good!"

Wang Shuhuan closed his eyes, unable to tell what emotion he was feeling. He put the stone in his arms and walked slowly away in the snow, step by step.
