World version update

Chapter 222 Today I know that I am not myself!
"No! Strictly speaking, he is not an immortal now. He is still a long way from becoming an immortal."

Lu Yan decisively discarded the exaggerated idea in his mind.

Contact with the only characteristic in this world does not mean that Mu Chunqiu can become an immortal, it just means that he has the potential to become an immortal.

If becoming an immortal was really that easy, the entire immortal cultivation world wouldn't be comprised of only the ten great sects of the Mysterious Way and the seven great sects of the Demonic Way.

“In addition, the choice of late spring and autumn itself is also very important.

Although Mu Chunqiu is more powerful in the Xianxia version, it is the spiritual energy revival version that really gives him the opportunity to touch the only characteristic of this world.

In the spiritual energy revival version, he became the world's number one practitioner, mastered the "Eternal Spring Kung Fu" and was at the forefront of the path of practice. If he could maintain it, he would have enough opportunities to reach the pinnacle of the spiritual energy revival version, thus creating a truly unique characteristic in this world.

But by that time, he himself will lose the ability to reflect other worlds due to the unique characteristics of this world, and only the uniqueness of the spiritual energy revived version will be retained.

If this is true, he should not be able to become a true immortal, but only the only one in this world who belongs to the urban version."

"If you want to become an immortal, in addition to mastering the unique characteristics of this world, there should also be requirements for cultivation and enlightenment. You must stay in the extremely high-level version of the Xianxia version to become a true immortal.

But no matter what, Mu Chunqiu, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, has indeed walked on the only path in this world and has grasped the true opportunity to become an immortal."

Lu Yan never thought that although he had been looking for an immortal, some of the backup plans he left in the urban version actually created a person who was on the path to becoming an immortal.

“Perhaps I should have thought of it earlier. Mu Chunqiu has entered the peak realm of Nascent Soul at the age of one hundred, and is even only one step away from the realm of Divine Transformation. His peerless talent is unheard of in the entire world of immortal cultivation.

Although the Taiyi Sect focuses on good fortune, it is easy to obtain some ancient relics when exploring relics, secret realms, and tombs, which can rapidly improve cultivation, but Mu Chunqiu's performance can still be called extraordinary, even enough to be called an immortal.

If people like this cannot even touch the path to becoming an immortal, what kind of people are qualified?"

“In Qingwu Sect, that Master Wu took the initiative to show goodwill to me, a young cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, just because I had some friendship with Mu Chunqiu.

Is the other party's attitude also because Qingwu Sect vaguely sensed that Mu Chunqiu was unusual?"

Lu Yan's thoughts suddenly became clear, and all kinds of ideas came to his mind.

At this moment, the voice of Mu Chunqiu on the lotus platform woke Lu Yan up, allowing him to come back to his senses from the deep shock.

"Did Mr. Lu really have some realizations?"

Mu Chunqiu asked Lu Yan curiously, with a hint of disbelief in his words.

The immortal method of longevity that even Yuanying Zhenjun and Huashen Daojun, who are from the ten major orthodox sects of the mysterious and demonic sects, cannot comprehend has really been comprehended by a mere foundation-building cultivator?
Lu Yan sorted out the thoughts in his mind and suddenly found that he didn't know how to start.

Is it useless to directly tell Mu Chunqiu that the immortal method of longevity is useless, and the real key is that you are already on the road to becoming an immortal?

Even if he said such words, I'm afraid Mu Chunqiu himself wouldn't believe it.

What's more, Lu Yan couldn't be sure whether his intervention as an external force in Mu Chunqiu's path to immortality would have unpredictable impacts on him.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yan said to Mu Chunqiu:

"The next thing is very important. Please ask Master Mu to cast a spell to block all investigations so that they will not be heard by those with ulterior motives."

Mu Chunqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice: "I have already stepped half a foot into the realm of incarnation, and have integrated my body and soul into the world where the Hanging Island is located. Any spying will not escape my eyes."

Lu Yan shook his head and said solemnly: "It's far from enough!"

“It’s not that I’m being cautious, it’s because this matter involves too many people, Master Mu must handle it with caution.

Once it is leaked, it might attract the covetousness of powerful beings above the level of God Transformation."

Late Chunqiu was half surprised and half confused.

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

Lu Yan was silent for a while and then uttered a word.

"Fairy!"

Mu Chunqiu's face suddenly became serious, and even He Dongsheng beside Lu Yan took the initiative to stand up and say:

"Since Master and Brother Lu are discussing the Dao, it is not convenient for me to participate, so I will take my leave first."

After saying that, He Dongsheng took the initiative to fly away from the entire suspended island. Only Lu Yan and Mu Chunqiu were left on this spiritual island.

After He Dongsheng left on his own initiative, Mu Chunqiu waved his right hand lightly and a black and white treasure umbrella appeared in his palm.

The umbrella is mainly black and white, with the Yin-Yang Tai Chi pattern as the core. The ribs are forged from black jade and frost iron, and the handle is engraved with the four-character seal script "Tian Ji Yin Dun".

The moment the treasure umbrella appeared, Lu Yan instantly felt a heavy pressure, as if some kind of divine creature was living in the treasure umbrella and could wake up at any time.

Transform into a divine treasure!

Lu Yan's eyes narrowed. As early as when he was still a low-level casual cultivator, Lu Yan had heard of the reputation of the Deity Transformation Treasure. The famous Ten Thousand Souls Banner of the Demonic Path was a Deity Transformation Treasure.

The precious umbrella before him was the first divine treasure he had ever seen.

“This treasure is called Luotian Umbrella. When it is unfolded, it can generate the Luotian Dharma Domain, interfere with the laws of heaven, and make things within the Dharma Domain disappear from the causal line temporarily.

Whether it is the lock of heavenly tribulation, the deduction of great power, or the prying of fate, none of them can penetrate this domain."

With the infusion of late spring and autumn's magic power, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram on the Luo Tian umbrella slowly turned, and the black and white energies intertwined into a vast domain of magic.

The moment the domain of law unfolded, the entire suspended island seemed to be pulled out of reality and placed in an independent world. Yin and Yang energies flowed in the void, turning into mysterious barriers that completely isolated this world from the cause and effect of the outside world.

At this moment, the Hanging Island seemed to have become an isolated island outside the heaven and earth. Only the huge Tai Chi diagram was slowly rotating above the sky, demonstrating the power of the divine treasure.

Lu Yan's face showed emotion, the spirit of Luo Tian Umbrella had not yet awakened, but its power at the moment was no less than that of a peak Nascent Soul stage.

If it were a divine treasure in its prime, it would be almost comparable to a living divine master.

On the lotus platform, Mu Chunqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has already stepped into the realm of divine transformation, controlling this divine treasure is still no small burden for him.

"The Luotian Dharma Realm has been revealed. Even beings above the Incarnation God level cannot penetrate the Dharma Realm and spy on the secrets without being noticed. Just tell me what you have to say."

Hearing this, Lu Yan no longer had any reservations. Holding the scroll of immortality, he asked directly:

"When Master Mu was comprehending the immortal method of longevity, did he often see some hallucinations that did not belong to the world of immortal cultivation, and some vaguely familiar memories flashed through his mind?"

Mu Chunqiu was startled: "Could it be that you also saw these from the immortal method of longevity?"

Lu Yan smiled, held the Immortal Technique of Longevity with both hands and saluted:
"Congratulations, Master Mu, you have embarked on the path to becoming an immortal.

The reason why outsiders cannot peek into the secrets of this immortal method is because this immortal method is a unique opportunity for Master Mu to become an immortal!"

"Immortal?"

Mu Chunqiu could no longer remain calm. His figure suddenly disappeared from the lotus platform and appeared in front of Lu Yan the next moment.

"How can a mere foundation-building cultivator, who hasn't even obtained the golden elixir, know the secret of becoming an immortal?"

Although Mu Chunqiu's words were mercilessly critical, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Lu Yan was calm and continued to speak without fear:
“Although my cultivation is shallow, I have had contact with the evil demons of the outer sects, and I have some understanding of the secrets of becoming an immortal and the invasion of the outer sects.

The so-called heretics and evil demons are all transcendental beings from another world. They have realized some essence of the world and transcended the mundane world, but they themselves are controlled by the world and bound to the entire world.

They crossed the world to invade the world of immortal cultivation, and their essence was just to seek another way to transcend.

From the perspective of pursuing the essence, no matter whether the evil demons are strong or weak, they all have the same characteristics as immortals, and Master Mu is walking on this path. "Lu Yan's words made Mu Chunqiu stunned.

Having reached his level, he already had a certain understanding of the world. He was clearly aware that although Lu Yan's words were bizarre, there was nothing wrong with them.

The mysteries described in it were of such a nature that even though he was one of the thirteen sect leaders of the Taiyi Sect, he had only heard a few words about them by chance.

Even most of the related historical records are vague, making it impossible to get a glimpse of the essence behind it.

But Lu Yan, a mere foundation-building cultivator, said it so lightly, which made Mu Chunqiu find it difficult to accept for a moment.

After a moment, Mu Chunqiu finally suppressed his fluctuating thoughts and bowed to Lu Yan:
"Please teach me, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Yan did not refuse, but accepted it calmly.

“Master Mu has already embarked on the path to becoming an immortal. His realm is so high that it even exceeds that of many of the ancestors of the ten major sects. I am only a small cultivator at the foundation-building stage, and I dare not talk nonsense about teaching Master Mu.

I can only use my insights to give Master Mu some guidance."

"Please take a seat!"

Mu Chunqiu bowed again, then waved his sleeves lightly and the lotus platform above the spirit pool slowly fell in front of Lu Yan.

Mu Chunqiu himself was sitting on the ground, listening to the lecture.

Lu Yan stepped onto the lotus platform and slowly sat down. In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy almost turned into substance and continued to flow into Lu Yan's body. The concentration of the spiritual energy was almost comparable to the nearly endless industrial-grade spiritual energy in the cyber version.

In addition to spiritual energy, the seventh-grade lotus platform under his body is also an extraordinary treasure. After Lu Yan sat down, his mind immediately became clear, and the world here became much clearer in Lu Yan's sight.

“I have only a vague understanding of the way to immortality, the only path, so I can only borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and use books written by others to preach to the True Lord.

This book was written by a strange man in the world of immortal cultivation hundreds of years ago. The title of the book is: "The Theory of Heavenly Dao"! "

For three consecutive days, Lu Yan explained "The Theory of Heaven's Way" to Mu Chunqiu.

The entire book "On the Way of Heaven" is not long, with only tens of thousands of words. In the mortal world and the lower-level world of immortal cultivation, it has been refuted as heresy.

Even Yuanying Zhenjun and Huashen Daojun would not admit the absurdity of the words.

Only those who have stepped into the unchanging world like Lu Yan, or those who have stepped into the only path in this world like Mu Chunqiu, can understand the essence of it.

Lu Yan combined "The Theory of Heaven's Way" with his own understanding and often said a passage that would take Mu Chunqiu several hours to comprehend and comprehend. When he was excited, Mu Chunqiu would even take the initiative to explain his own insights to Lu Yan.

Three days passed and only less than one-third of the entire book "The Theory of Heaven's Way" had been told, but Mu Chunqiu took the initiative to ask to stop.

Because for the late Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Huowang, who wrote "On the Way of Heaven", saw too far, even far beyond the scope of this world.

It is okay to embark on the road to becoming an immortal by just understanding a little bit, but once you understand too much, it will affect your own judgment.

On the suspended island blocked by the Luotian Dharma Domain, Mu Chunqiu, who had listened to three days of lectures, asked Lu Yan the last question.

"It is stated in The Theory of Heavenly Dao that everything in the world and even the laws of the Dao are constantly changing. If this world changes into another world, then is there another me in that other world?"

There was a hint of joy in Lu Yan's eyes. Three days of preaching finally made Mu Chunqiu realize the only key to this world.

Just as Lu Yan was about to speak, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.

This sense of crisis was so familiar that even Lu Yan's soul began to tremble involuntarily.

Every cell in the body was roaring in fear, and the genes from deep in his blood were frantically warning Lu Yan.

All the realms of this world were showing undisguised malice towards him, as if they wanted to devour Lu Yan.

Mu Chunqiu's pupils suddenly contracted. He couldn't imagine what kind of power could penetrate the Luotian Dharma Realm and descend upon the suspended island.

He was no longer able to think about the reason, and with his right hand, a Luo Tian umbrella appeared in his palm. The umbrella spread out the Yin-Yang Tai Chi, as if isolating the entire world from Lu Yan's body.

However, the nameless sense of crisis did not subside because of the divine treasure. Instead, it raised waves of malice that seemed to devour Lu Yan.

"how is this possible?"

Late spring and autumn showed a look of shock.

That evil intention is invisible and intangible, and it is not karma. Even a divine treasure cannot stop it.

Just as the malicious wave was about to swallow Lu Yan, the merits of Heaven that Lu Yan had gained from slaughtering tens of millions of zombies shone brightly and formed a golden sun of merit.

Lu Yan sat upright on the seventh-grade lotus platform, like a god or Buddha descended to the world. The vast amount of heavenly merit transformed into the mysterious and yellow merit fire, completely illuminating the entire Luotian Dharma Realm.

Unknown fears and crises melt like ice and snow in front of this almost vast and endless fire of Xuanhuang merit.

In the center of the dazzling fire of merit, Lu Yan looked up at the sky shrouded by the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.

Outside that domain, Lu Yan could clearly sense the malice coming from the immortals and the way of heaven.

The last time Lu Yan gave the photo in the urban version to Ji Xingyao, the immortal hero Tiandao intervened and erased the existence of the photo, thus creating a 1% version change value.

Lu Yan pondered the reasons behind the version change value, which aroused the malice of Xianxia Tiandao.

This time, Lu Yan preached to Mu Chunqiu, which involved the unique characteristics of this world, and once again aroused the malice of the immortals and the way of heaven on key issues.

From this we can infer that the key point of the malice of Heaven is that it is unique in this world.

"The Immortal Hero Heavenly Dao tries to limit the unique characteristics of this world and reduce the number of immortals as much as possible?"

This was the only judgment Lu Yan could make in his mind.

Lu Yan did not express his thoughts aloud. Under the burning of the Xuanhuang Merit Fire, the malice coming from the Immortal Knight's Heavenly Dao eventually dissipated into thin air.

At this moment, Mu Chunqiu also came to his senses. In this world of immortal cultivation, the only one who could easily bring down evil intentions and penetrate the Luotian Dharma Realm besides a few immortals was the Heavenly Dao.

If the immortals really want to do something, they can just break through the Luotian Dharma Realm. There is no need to make some real or fake tests. They can suppress everything by coming here in person.

This alone is enough to prove that the malice directed at Lu Yan came from the interference of Heaven, and Lu Yan's remarks already involved leaking Heaven's secrets.

After figuring out the reason and seeing the light of merit behind Lu Yan that was like the sun descending to the earth, Mu Chunqiu had completely let go of his contempt for Lu Yan and treated him as an equal.

He bowed to Lu Yan and said:

"I have benefited a lot from Mr. Lu's teachings today, so why not end it here!"

Lu Yan looked thoughtful, glanced at the sky, then chuckled and said:

"Master Mu, don't panic. The laws of nature are based on order and will not easily interfere in the affairs of sentient beings. This behavior is just a bluff.

Now that the lecture is over, I will give Master Mu one more word of advice. I hope Master Mu can see through the illusion as soon as possible and reach the immortal realm. "

Late spring and autumn are dark and solemn.

"Please enlighten me."

On the lotus platform, the mysterious yellow fire of merit and the light of heavenly merit around Lu Yan gradually returned to his body. Under the reflection of this merit, he seemed to have turned into a supreme god of merit.

The merits of the Heavenly Dao can break cause and effect and reduce karma. When such a huge amount of merits of the Heavenly Dao are manifested, the entire Luotian Dharma Realm that shields the heaven and earth is shaken.

In the chaotic realm, the Supreme God of Merit murmured:
"All reincarnations are nothing but illusions. Today I know that I am not myself!"
