World version update

Chapter 229: Sword cuts immortality!

Lu Yan's heart was shaken, and it was as if thunder exploded in his mind.

He has insight into the essence of many versions, does not change with the changes in everything, and is not restricted by a certain version. Isn't this Lu Yan himself who possesses the characteristics of an unchanging person?

At this moment, he suddenly realized why the person behind the immortal version would not hesitate to abandon such a supreme treasure as the Xuanpin Gate in order to lure him into the immortal version.

The reason for all this is because Lu Yan is the only one in the world that they, the only ones in this world, have been desperately searching for!

Lu Yan's existence is a rare opportunity for the person behind the Changsheng version.

In the demon version, he had countless opportunities to kill Lu Yan, but he always used a step-by-step approach to force Lu Yan to choose the immortality version on his own initiative. His purpose was to see the only truth in the world about Lu Yan.

To him, the dead Lu Yan was worthless. Only Lu Yan, who possessed the only special characteristic in the world, could allow him to reach the realm that almost only existed in imagination.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan suddenly met Jiang Zhiwei's meaningful gaze.

The One in this world longs for the One in all worlds, so is Jiang Zhiwei also pursuing this possibility? He took the initiative to point out the unique characteristics of all worlds. Does he already know something?
For a moment, Lu Yan's nerves were extremely tense, fearing that the kind-hearted immortal in front of him would suddenly attack him.

But what Lu Yan didn't expect was that Jiang Zhiwei just looked at him meaningfully.

He seemed to know everything, but pretended to know nothing.

"The only ones in this world are all struggling to find the only path in all worlds, which has caused the immortals who have always thought highly of themselves to begin to waver.

They were born in a high-level immortal version, and their status was no less than that of the only one in this world, but due to version restrictions, they reached the end of their immortal path.

Some immortals are unwilling to stick to the immortal version. They also want to climb towards the only great transcendence in the world, and try to invade other versions together with the only one in this world to strengthen themselves.

However, the version invasion is bound to involve the immortals' heavenly way. Another group of immortals, through the status of the only ones in this world, vaguely guessed that the version invasion would bring some irreversible consequences due to the collision of different heavenly rules.

As a result, disagreements began to arise among the immortals, and the originally stable world was split apart.

The immortals who insisted on sticking to the Xianxia version founded the Xuanmen Sect, while the immortals who tried to start the invasion version founded the Demon Sect. Both sides were unable to convince each other, and several battles were fought in succession, which changed the situation of the entire Xiuxian world. "

“But human hearts are not static, and the same is true for the hearts of immortals.

As time goes by, version invasions occur more and more frequently, and some of the remnants of the previous war continue to invade the Xianxia version.

They will not descend their true bodies, but will borrow the rules of other versions to quietly erode the Xianxia version.

Some of the only ones in this world believe that the Xianxia version is the most important version in this world. Once they can erode the Xianxia version and monopolize the Xianxia way, they are very likely to be promoted to the only one in the world.

Faced with such a situation, some immortals began to waver, and some even chose to abandon the sects they founded and join the magic path, seeking ways to invade the version."

There was a slight pause in his speech, and Jiang Zhiwei's gaze seemed to penetrate Lu Yan's body and see the trajectory of the internal energy of the exercises.

With a playful smile on his face, Jiang Zhiwei said slowly:

“This naturally includes the Immortal of Morality who founded the Morality Sect thousands of years ago.

He was one of the oldest immortals in this world. He compiled the rules of human merit and took advantage of many immortals and heroes.

Thousands of years ago, he decided to abandon his identity as a moral immortal and join the path of evil, which led to him being besieged by all the major sects of the righteous path, and eventually he was transformed into a karma immortal.

His disciple, the Red Lotus Demon Lord, is the founder of the Red Lotus Demon Sect. With the support of the Karma Immortal, he established the Seventh Supreme Sect of the Demonic Path."

Lu Yan's expression changed suddenly again.

Not long after he started to cultivate immortals, Lu Yan learned about the legend of the ancient Daode Sect and how it was exterminated by the evil sect after being besieged by the orthodox Xuanmen Sect.

At that time, Lu Yan believed that there must be a shocking conspiracy behind this incident, but he never thought that the truth was so absurd.

“The former merit immortals established humanity and blessed the world with their merits, while the current karma immortals regard everything as food.

The Red Lotus Devil Sect's skills are not that easy to learn, so you'll just have to pray for the best, little ghost!"

Jiang Zhiwei's face was full of mockery, as if he was waiting for a good show.

After Lu Yan calmed down a little, he bowed respectfully to Jiang Zhiwei and said, "Thank you for the reminder, First True Transmission!"

These words were absolutely spoken from the heart. Without Jiang Zhiwei's reminder, Lu Yan would probably not be able to realize the truth behind the Daode Sect and the crisis hidden in the martial arts for a long time in the future.

Jiang Zhiwei curled his lips, intending to scare Lu Yan, but he didn't expect Lu Yan's response to be so honest, which made Jiang Zhiwei suddenly feel a little bored.

After bowing and standing up, Lu Yan saw that Jiang Zhiwei did not continue to speak, so he took the initiative to ask:
"According to the First True Teaching, could it be that He is also because..."

As he spoke, Lu Yan pointed to the tablet that was kicked away by Jiang Zhiwei.

"That's right!" Jiang Zhiwei responded directly:

“Tai Yi Xian is also trying to find a way to invade the version, but his approach is even more radical than that of the Demonic Path.

Seven hundred years ago, Taiyixian lured the only being in this world named Zhuofa Lingzun to invade the human world and created a Zhuofa forbidden land.

Afterwards, Taiyixian used the immortal way to replace Zhuofa Lingzun with himself, hoping to use his body as a springboard to actively erode the immortal way.

It would be fine if he had simply fallen into the evil path, but Tai Yixian used himself as a medium to erode the immortal way of heaven, which was a complete betrayal.

I killed Zhuo Fa Ling Zun in the Zhuo Fa Forbidden Land, and traced the source to find Tai Yi Xian, and killed him with a single sword strike. "

Jiang Zhiwei's words were understated, but the truth and murderous intent revealed in them made Lu Yan feel awe-inspiring.

Being able to kill the only one in this world and an ancient immortal in succession, Jiang Zhiwei's strength is probably enough to rank among the top among the true immortals in the fairy-xia version.

At this point all the truth was revealed, but Lu Yan did not relax at all.

After a moment's silence, Lu Yan finally asked the question that puzzled him the most.

“I want to know why the First True Disciple told me so much?
I am just a small foundation-building cultivator, and I shouldn't be so valued by the First True Disciple."

"A little foundation-building monk?"

Jiang Zhiwei seemed to have heard a huge joke and laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward without any fairy-like demeanor.

"He is able to build a supreme foundation and nurture the seeds of supreme magical powers. There is no other cultivator like him in the entire world of immortal cultivation."

If it was before this conversation, Lu Yan would be surprised that Jiang Zhiwei saw through his supreme Taoist foundation, but now Lu Yan was not surprised at all.

Even if the other party directly stated Lu Yan's unique nature in all the worlds, Lu Yan would only think that it should be so and would not be surprised at all.

After a hearty laugh, Jiang Zhiwei said:

“I know that you are carrying the karma of an immortal, and you are looking for an immortal just to end this karma.

I can help you, but I have a condition."

Lu Yan's face lit up immediately, and he immediately bowed and said, "If you can solve the troubles of Changsheng, the First True Transmission has any requests, just ask!"

Didn't he cross several versions just to solve the hidden dangers of the Changsheng version?

The opportunity is right in front of him. No matter what difficulties are behind Jiang Zhiwei's conditions, it is much better for Lu Yan than facing the weird version of immortality.

Jiang Zhiwei nodded with satisfaction, stroking his chin and asked:
"Do you know why all the major sects train true disciples, and even treat true disciples much better than other cultivators of the same realm?"

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. If other people asked Lu Yan, he would definitely give the standard answer such as cultivating geniuses.

But in front of Jiang Zhiwei, Lu Yan thought for a while and then told his previous guess.

"Related to other versions?"

"That's right!"

Jiang Zhiwei nodded approvingly.

“The purpose of all the major sects training true disciples under the age of 100 is to achieve a special version.

Even according to convention, the true trial will be arranged in advance and held in that special version, but this time I will advance the true trial for your purpose.

I want you to help our side win the final victory in that special version, and as a reward I can help you solve your hidden dangers."

At this point, Jiang Zhiwei almost no longer concealed the fact that Lu Yan had the ability to cross versions.

Lu Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then hesitantly said:

"But I'm not sure when that version will appear."

Jiang Zhiwei curled his lips and interrupted Lu Yan's explanation.

“I will prepare a medium for you that will fully qualify you to enter that special edition with your authority.

For this transaction, you only need to answer to accept or not accept!"

Facing Jiang Zhiwei who saw through him completely, Lu Yan felt that the little thoughts in his mind seemed to be completely useless.

Come to think of it, the one in the Changsheng version was able to figure out Lu Yan's background after several versions, let alone Jiang Zhiwei who was so close to him?

But after all, it is just a special version. As long as there is no unique one in this world, Lu Yan still has some confidence in his heart.

Lu Yan no longer hesitated and responded directly:
"I choose to accept it!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Zhiwei seemed to have solved some problem, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"From today on, you are the 33rd true disciple of Taiyi Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and teleported Lu Yan out of the ancestral hall.

“You still have half a month. When the next version change starts in half a month, I will solve your hidden dangers for you.

Then you can go to that special version as well."

The surrounding space kept changing. When Lu Yan stood up again, he found that he was not outside the dilapidated ancestral hall, but above the starry sky.

Looking around, in a brilliant starry sky, thirty-six stars symbolizing the thirty-six true positions are lined up in order, reflecting the vast and boundless starry sky.

Above the stars that symbolize the true positions, there are broken straw cushions, a magnificent throne forged from fairy gold, and a chariot surrounded by fairy air. But these strange true positions all belong to the Taiyi True Positions that have been promoted to the state of deification.

The true teachings that have not yet reached the state of becoming a god are actually cushions woven from unknown golden threads, which are filled with the indescribable rhythm of the great Dao.

Lu Yan saw that there was a vacant seat at the thirty-third position of the true transmission. With a slight thought, he had already arrived at the thirty-third position of the true transmission and slowly sat down on the golden silk cushion.

In an instant, it was as if the myriad Dao rhymes of this world were added to him, and Lu Yan even felt the opportunity of the Dao similar to that of Yunhai Tiangong. At the same time, the thirty-two true disciples around him all cast their eyes towards Lu Yan.

Shrouded in the light and shadow of the true teachings, they looked like majestic gods, making it difficult to see clearly.

The Tenth True Disciple twisted the chess piece in his hand and asked softly, "You have stayed in the Patriarch's Hall for so long, could it be that you have seen the First True Disciple?"

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that the question about the tenth true teaching was a little strange.

"Yes!"

As Lu Yan gave an affirmative answer, many true disciples looked at Lu Yan with some scrutiny and surprise, and even the nine true disciples looked at him with a hint of caution.

Conversations began to spread among the true disciples.

"I didn't expect that the First True Disciple would show up in person."

"The old man has not appeared in the world since he killed the evil demon of the heretic seven hundred years ago. I didn't expect that he would personally meet a mere foundation-building cultivator."

"Even for us, most of the time we only see the First True Transmission's decree."

“Although the thirty-third true disciple is only at the foundation-building stage, his combat power is extraordinary and he will surely shine in the future secret realms. It is normal for him to be valued by the first true disciple.”

"It has been five thousand years since the First True Transmission last repaired Taiyi Cave Heaven. Perhaps it is time to reopen Hunyuan again."

The exchange of many true teachings made Lu Yan more and more confused.

The normal procedure for entering the Patriarch's Hall should be to meet Taiyi Immortal. If there is a chance, Taiyi Immortal can bestow the Dharma of Fate. But at this moment, it was changed to the First True Teaching.

And according to previous statements, the first true disciple Jiang Zhiwei was not very old, and was even younger than some of the true disciples present. However, according to these true disciples, he became the first true disciple who repaired the cave heaven and reopened Hunyuan.

In their words, it seemed that the First True Teaching had completely replaced the original Taiyi Immortal.

Realizing this, Lu Yan became more and more awed by Jiang Zhiwei's methods.

After Lu Yan, the other three new true disciples also appeared in the starry sky one after another.

Lin Xiao and another new true disciple Shi Yu did not see the first true disciple. Instead, He Dongsheng, who had the lowest cultivation level and the weakest strength, saw the first true disciple and was given a set of skills.

Lu Yan was already accustomed to He Dongsheng's good fortune, but the other true disciples were quite surprised, and some even valued He Dongsheng more than Lu Yan.

With He Dongsheng taking the position of the thirty-sixth true disciple, the thirty-six true disciples of Taiyi Sect were completely restored.

Lu Yan looked down at the earth from the perspective of the stars. The vast immortal path was clearly visible to Lu Yan. At the same time, the voice of the Tenth True Transmission resounded through heaven and earth.

"The Thirty-Six True Teachings Return!"

“Among the thirteen main veins, the Taixuan vein has no true successor, and the cave resources have been reduced by half.

The Four Seasons lineage occupies the position of the second true disciple, and the resources of the cave are restored."

The thirty-six stars in the sky slowly disappeared.

In the center of the immortal road, the four Yuanying True Lords of the Taixuan lineage looked grim, but in the end they were helpless.

Half a day later, all the practitioners dispersed.

Originally, Lu Yan was fighting for the position of true disciple just to enter the ancestral hall and find his destiny as an immortal.

But as Lu Yan became the 33rd True Transmittee, he realized how extraordinary the power of the Taiyi True Transmittee was.

Go to the Taiyi branch to dispatch Yuanying Zhenjun, stay in Taiyi Cave Heaven, enter and exit Taiyi Daozang Pavilion to read any book below Huashen, and there are cave resources issued every ten years.
For Lu Yan, the position of Taiyi Zhenchuan is almost an inexhaustible treasure trove.

After saying goodbye to Mu Chunqiu, Lu Yan took advantage of the fact that there was still half a month before the version update and decisively went into the Taiyi Daozang Pavilion in the Dongtian World and began to read many Jindan and Yuanying classics.

Especially those classics about the fourth-order formation, the opening of the cave, and the rules of the great way, which were of great help to Lu Yan in perfecting the great formation of the underworld and the small world within the Human Emperor Banner.

Even in the Taiyi Daozang Pavilion, Lu Yan found the "Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra".

This is a sect of martial arts belonging to the Red Lotus Sect, a senior sect of the demonic path. It is said to be a trophy from a great war between good and evil thousands of years ago. It contains complete techniques from Qi training to Nascent Soul training.

This means that in the short term, Lu Yan will no longer lack practice techniques.

As for the skills above the stage of Spirit Transformation, it seems to involve the Karma Immortal who feeds on the Red Lotus Demon Sect. Lu Yan can only wait until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage to find a solution.

Lu Yan spent a full half month in the Taoist Canon Pavilion, but the books he saw were less than one millionth of those in the Taiyi Taoist Canon Pavilion.

The only regret in Lu Yan’s heart was that the hidden danger of the Xuanpin Gate had not been resolved, and he could not release the Human Emperor Banner.

With the help of the soul computers of the ghosts and gods in the underworld, it would definitely be possible to read through a huge amount of Taoist scriptures in a short period of time.

If it weren't for the agreement with Jiang Zhiwei that was just around the corner, and if achieving Jiang Zhiwei's goal required the use of version designation authority, Lu Yan really wanted to designate the Xianxia version to stay for another half a year and enjoy all the resources and benefits of Taiyi Zhenchuan.

Seeing that the version progress had reached 99.5%, Lu Yan finally put down the book in his hand, left Taiyi Daozang Pavilion and went to the Patriarch Hall.

I haven’t been to the Zushi Hall for half a month, and the place still feels old and dilapidated.

Stepping into the Ancestral Hall, Jiang Zhiwei was lying on the altar, dozing with a book covering his face. Apart from his immortal appearance, he did not have the temperament of an immortal in the world at all.

Seeing Lu Yan walking into the Patriarch's Hall from the corner of his eye, Jiang Zhiwei took off the book on his face, yawned and said lazily:
"Already prepared?"

"Reporting the First True Teaching, I am ready."

Jiang Zhiwei rummaged in his sleeves and casually threw a piece of rusty iron to Lu Yan.

"Use your authority, and this object will show you the way to that special version."

Lu Yan reached out to take the piece of iron. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and found nothing unusual. It looked like an ordinary piece of iron.

"I would like to ask the First True Translator, what exactly is the special version you are talking about?"

"I haven't been there, so how would I know?" Jiang Zhiwei looked so unreasonable that Lu Yan was speechless.

Reaching out and scratching his head, Jiang Zhiwei thought for a moment and then continued:

“I can only give you one piece of advice about this version.

Although there are many evil spirits there, they can also make up for your own shortcomings.

Although I can temporarily help you solve the hidden danger of the immortal Changsheng Tianzun, there is more than one unique person in this world, and you cannot return to the fairy-hero version anytime and anywhere. This place may not be a good place for you.

Seize this opportunity, it is your best chance to control your future."

Immortal Lord!

Lu Yan's heart trembled as he learned for the first time the title of the only person in this world in the Changsheng version.

Facing Jiang Zhiwei's warning, Lu Yan responded solemnly: "Thank you for the first true teaching!"

Although Jiang Zhiwei in front of him was mysterious and seemed to have some purpose, it was undeniable that at least he had not shown any malice towards him so far.

Even the deals on special editions are just a matter of each taking what they need.

After a brief exchange, the ancestral hall fell into silence again.

Jiang Zhiwei leaned lazily on the altar, as if waiting for that time node to arrive, while Lu Yan looked around aimlessly.

As time passed, the progress of the version update had reached 99.9%. Lu Yan glanced at the broken altar and suddenly noticed the book in Jiang Zhiwei's hand.

Looking carefully, there were four big characters written on the cover of the book: "New Theory of Heaven's Way".

Lu Yan was stunned and was about to ask.

But at this moment, the 99.9% version update progress jumped again.

The next second, the world froze, and a string of words appeared in front of Lu Yan.

[Xianxia version ends, version change value: 2%]

The words flashed for just a moment, and then appeared again the next moment.

[The version update progress is full. You can choose one of the following versions to update.

Longevity version: Small
Changsheng version: .Friends.
】

Before the text of the Changsheng version was fully revealed, Jiang Zhiwei, who was in stagnant time and space, showed a lazy smile.

The next moment, Jiang Zhiwei slowly raised his right hand, and his sword fingers penetrated the stagnant time and space and pointed directly into Lu Yan's body. The rules of reality were reversed at his fingertips.

Under the suppression of the Human Emperor Banner, the Xuanpin Gate, which had turned into stone, collapsed with a loud bang, and countless fragments scattered in Lu Yan's body.

At the moment when the Xuanpin Gate collapsed, the version options in front of Lu Yan suddenly twisted and deformed, turning into a chaotic mess of symbols, as if they were forcibly rewritten by some supreme power. The foundation of reality was torn apart at this moment, revealing the essence of nothingness behind it.

However, this sword has not ended yet. The brilliant sword light that spans time and space has already manifested in the fairy version where time and space are stagnant.

In the cave worlds hidden from the world, great beings lowered their gazes one after another, but the moment their eyes touched the dazzling sword light, they quickly retracted them.

That sword light was like a river in the sky that spanned ancient and modern times, cutting through endless time and space, tracing back every cause and effect of the existence of the Xuanpin Gate.

A huge sword mark pierced through thousands of miles of land between Qingwu Sect and the branch of Mangshan Mountain. Wherever it passed, space shattered and time became disordered. The world that once manifested the Xuanpin Gate was completely destroyed, and the entire space and time was buried in nothingness.

In the Qingwu Sect, the lost memories of dozens of Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying Zhenjun began to emerge. The moment the stone gate that had been forgotten in cognition appeared in consciousness, the dazzling sword light destroyed everything.

Tens of people, a hundred people, a thousand people, a million people, ten million people, in just a few months, tens of millions of lives were polluted by the concept of the Mysterious Gate.

It was like a memetic virus that silently eroded everyone. They had only one characteristic, which was that they could not recognize the concept of the stone gate. When this concept expanded to a certain number, the Xuanpin Gate could reappear in the world with the help of the thoughts of all living beings.

But the dazzling sword light penetrated the future of cause and effect, and even the last remaining concept of the Xuanpin Gate was seen through. The memory carrying the meme was reduced to ashes under this supreme sword intent.

Wherever the sword light passed, it not only destroyed matter, but also completely erased the existence of the Xuanpin Gate from the fairy tale version.

Inside Lu Yan's body, in the collapsed Xuanpin Gate, the broken principles of the Dao gathered into a pair of eyes that slowly opened. The sight that penetrated all realms carried endless majesty and quietly fell towards this stagnant time and space.

The next moment, that pair of eyes met Jiang Zhiwei's half-smile, and the supreme majesty suddenly froze at this moment.

"You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever."

"The cause and effect between you and him has already been established. Next time, he will kill you with his sword again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the supreme sword intent that penetrated time and destroyed the Xuanpin Gate traced back to this point again, and the eyes transformed by the broken Tao principles were completely destroyed by the supreme sword intent.
