The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 565 Recruitment
The moment Xu Taiping saw Wang Wu, a hint of surprise and fear flashed across his usually steady face. Although they hadn't seen each other for 60,000 years, how could he possibly forget him?

After calming himself down, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply, showing great respect and trepidation, not daring to act rashly.

However, Wang Wu had no interest in playing games with him and asked directly, "Where are my old friends? How did you end up in charge of the Hidden Origin Society?"

Xu Taiping knelt down with a thud and quickly said:
"Reporting to Senior Master, I was appointed by the previous Master of the Hidden Origin Society, Shuang Liuyun, to temporarily assume the position. The Master before that was your old friend, Feng Muhan. Both of them were ordered by a Grand Luo Immortal of the Celestial Realm to travel to the Celestial Realms. In fact, I recently received an order from a Grand Luo Immortal of the Celestial Realm to handle the various affairs of the Hidden Origin Society within six months before heading to the Celestial Realms. I beg Senior Master's understanding!"

"I see. Who else was ordered to go to the Celestial Realms?" Wang Wu nodded, it wasn't hard to understand.

"Reporting to Senior Master, Lu Tong, Zhuang Bufei, Qu Shenglian, and Shuang Wannian have all been dispatched as ordered. It is said that Lu Tong and Shuang Wannian have already advanced to the half-step Great Luo realm. In addition, there is another matter I need to report: your beloved relatives and friends have all passed away due to old age..."

Wang Wu nodded silently. He had noticed it when he arrived. The time span was too long, a full 60,000 years. How could Madam Yu, Snow Wolf General, Old Niu, and the others possibly withstand it?
Even the most outstanding Yuan Bupo couldn't break through.

Cultivating immortality is such a lonely thing.

Wang Wu didn't ask anything more, including about Qingxue's current situation. As one of the seven half-step Great Luo cultivators who rushed out that day, she was considered a veteran. Who knows where she might be hiding now? How could she possibly show herself easily?

With a wave of his hand, he left the place and stood above the Hidden Origin Society's floating city, looking at this bustling mobile cultivation world. He truly felt completely out of place.

After thinking it over, he decided to awaken Frost Lord. Next, he would help Frost Lord advance to the Half-Step Great Luo realm. Now that the recruitment of Half-Step Great Luo realm cultivators has expanded, there's no reason why Frost Lord shouldn't advance.

As for Qingxue's half-step Great Luo, that is her own power. Since they were separated back then, they have been two people.

Although Wang Wu said he wanted to conquer her again, in reality he only regarded her as an old friend. He still loved Shuang Jun the most, as she was the one who could truly understand him.

To be honest, having such a beautiful woman is already a blessing from heaven, and I dare not ask for more.

"Wang Wu, Wang Zhige, how have you been?"

A voice came from afar, but the person was still tens of thousands of miles away. It was an old acquaintance, Old Gray.

However, as expected, he advanced to the half-step Great Luo realm.

At this moment, they were clearly quite wary of Wang Wu. Moreover, tens of thousands of years had passed, and they didn't know how Wang Wu's personality had changed. They were afraid that he would take action at the slightest provocation.

Wang Wu was well aware of this; it seemed that Old Gray had come to act as a persuader.

It's very likely that his previous battle with Baiyu led those Da Luo to believe that he might be the second Tian Shu.

After all, he has now managed to prove himself to be yin and yang, right?

From afar, Wang Wu cupped his hands in greeting to Old Gray, first extending a bit of goodwill. He wasn't crazy; as long as he wasn't pressured too much, he wouldn't overreact.

"Senior, how have you been?"

"Haha! Thank you for still calling me senior."

Gray Old Man finally dared to approach. He hadn't changed much overall, except that he was holding a tower in his hands, like the Heavenly King who held up a pagoda.

But in reality, this is the standard configuration for these newly promoted half-step Grand Luo cultivators. Whether it's Bai Yu or the three half-step Grand Luo cultivators watching from outside the Cold Realm, they all follow this format.

They either carry the tower or have it on their backs, because they can't put it away, and they can't perfectly integrate the Heaven and Earth Shield into themselves like Wang Wu did.

To be honest, Wang Wu only realized now that his ability to integrate the Heaven and Earth Shield into himself was actually quite remarkable.

The Heaven and Earth Shield and the Heaven and Earth Tower are essentially the same, both belonging to the category of eternal immortal artifacts. The fact that they can be fused together makes a world of difference.

It's worth mentioning that the twelve Great Luo Immortals back then moved thousands of Sin Prison Towers from the cultivation world. Based on that number, recruiting several thousand more half-step Great Luo Immortals would be no problem at all.

Furthermore, due to the unique nature of the Heaven and Earth Towers, even if a half-step Great Luo Immortal dies, they will not easily collapse or be damaged, which suggests that the past of the cultivation world was quite glorious.

Where are the Great Luo and Half-Step Great Luo cultivators who refined and forged these Heaven and Earth Towers now?

In the long river of time, even the Great Luo is but a drop in the ocean.

"Senior is here to act as a persuader. Please rest assured, as long as you don't push me to the brink, I will behave myself."

"Ha ha!"

Gray Old Man chuckled awkwardly twice, but suddenly said, "Five thousand years ago, I met Frost Lord, but for some reason, she called herself Qingxue, and she didn't even give her father a second glance. She seemed to have completely changed. In addition, she changed her personal cultivation path to the Path of Heartlessness."

"She is of course not Shuangjun. Shuangjun is with me and is currently in seclusion."

Wang Wu said calmly, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Upon hearing this, Elder Hui seemed to have guessed something. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he didn't pursue the topic further. Instead, he said, "Wang Wu, do you know that the Great Immortal Cultivation World we live in has become somewhat unstable due to the self-destruction of the Heavenly Pivot back then? If we sit idly by, I fear that in tens of millions of years, this One Great Dao may perish!"

"Therefore, the twelve Great Luo Immortals decided to join forces to suppress the One Great Dao. However, this required more resources. So, eight thousand years ago, they decided to launch an expedition to the outside world to plunder resources and protect the One Great Dao. However, the requirements for the expedition to the outside world are very high, requiring at least a half-step Great Luo Immortal."

"Therefore, Yin Yuan Divine Lord and others who had once chosen to break with the Twelve Great Luo decided to embark on an expedition to the outside world, both to plunder resources and to seek opportunities to prove their Dao as Great Luo. Fellow Daoist Qingxue did the same."

"Because in reality, there are no more opportunities and quotas for attaining the Great Luo Dao here. So, Wang Wu, are you willing to go on an expedition to the outside world? Ten years from now, an expedition team will set off, and I will be on it. If you are interested, you can come to the Celestial Realm at any time. You don't need to worry about anything, just come directly."

After saying this, Old Gray smiled, bowed again, and left.

Wang Wu stood there lost in thought. He had seen the expedition team before, and he had also seen the outside world.

Previously, Tian Shu self-destructed, destroying the cultivation world. He was buried inside and remained unconscious for 30,000 years. After waking up, he passed through layers of spatial rifts and found that palace complex.

At first, he genuinely believed it to be the tomb of the Great Luo, but later he learned that it was an independent world, and he even witnessed an expedition team exploring it.

It seems that this is the reason; it's all due to insufficient resources.

So, should we go or not?
Alternatively, why not go and take a look at the Celestial Realms first? Since the truth is already out in the open, it's good to go and find out more.

While you're at it, buy some Drunken Immortal Wine, or even better elixirs to enhance your soul. This will not only benefit Frost Lord's awakening, but also greatly improve Wang Wu's weakness. That's right, his current weakness is his soul.

He was affected by the white fish's use of compassion earlier.

If he hadn't been skilled at nesting dolls, he wouldn't have made it past the second round.

Next, Wang Wu followed the trajectory of the twenty-four solar terms, circled around for a long time, and then quickly merged into a vortex-like structure.

This is the correct way to enter the celestial realms.

Anyone who does not follow this method is considered to be forcibly entering.

Not only would it violate the Heavenly Laws, but it would also disrupt and damage the vortex structure of the Great Immortal Cultivation Realm.

So, you can express your individuality in other situations, but if you insist on doing something that harms others and yourself, then it's not only bad, but also incredibly stupid!
After merging, and following the vortex structure, it spiraled upwards twelve times before the Celestial Realm appeared.

But it was also very natural and nothing special; everything in front of me was completely different from my imagination of the immortal realm.

It's even a bit too low-key.

However, Wang Wu could tell what was going on. In short, the resources were insufficient. Back then, when Tian Shu Lao Deng exploded, the Twelve Great Luo Immortals must have shed a lot of blood to fill the hole for him.

The key is that bleeding is unacceptable.

There are no alternative places to divert resources from here.

This one and only path is the foundation of everyone's cultivation.

The Great Dao has collapsed; not one of us can escape.

Wang Wu was the same.

He knew, of course, that venturing beyond the borders was immoral from a certain perspective, but so what? When it comes to cultivation, why waste time on nonsense? Plunder is the most correct answer.

Of course, if we plunder the outside world today and are invaded and plundered by the outside world tomorrow, we shouldn't complain or blame others.

Thinking this, a proper building that conformed to the standards of the immortal realm finally appeared in front of them.

It was a floating celestial palace, and judging from its architectural style, it should be the work of the Xuantian Sect.

But the heavenly palace was deserted. Only at the entrance of the palace was an old man who looked like an ordinary person sweeping up fallen leaves that had appeared out of nowhere.

Wang Wu stood still and bowed respectfully.

"This ignorant junior pays his respects to the senior!"

That's right, this is Ronaldo, and he's very likely one of the most senior and strongest players.

Although it doesn't look high-class at all, Wang Wu dares not be careless in the slightest.

However, Wang Wu waited for a long time but the old man did not speak. He only heard the sound of sweeping. After a long time, even the sound of sweeping stopped, leaving only the calm wind blowing.

Wang Wu slowly raised his head, but the old man sweeping the floor was nowhere to be seen, and even the floating celestial palace was gone.

He was left alone in the desolate mountains and wilderness.

What do you mean?
Or did he fall into the trap without even realizing it?

The strength and realm of Da Luo are simply beyond his reach.

wrong.

The only true path, the path to perfection, why must we be bound by the human body?
The majestic mountains all around, the flowers, trees, floating clouds in the sky, and the gentle breeze in my ears are all part of the Tao.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Wang Wu thanked him loudly.

But there was no response.

A moment later, a voice came from behind.

"Wang Wu, would you be willing to join the Xuantian Sect?"

what?
Wang Wu was startled. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a magnificent celestial palace, surrounded by desolate mountains and wilderness.

Before him stood a gaunt old man, seemingly ordinary, yet possessing the inner strength of a universe. He was clearly the one who had successfully broken through to the Great Luo realm 60,000 years ago, the last Great Luo.

But how did he become like this?
After all, he was truly handsome and had an unparalleled demeanor back then.

However, this is not important.

This is clearly a way out offered by the other side, and also a signal. If he disagrees, well, why would he disagree?

"Of course I'd like to; it would be an honor for me."

Wang Wu answered without hesitation.

"good!"

The gaunt old man said, "From this day forward, you will be my last disciple. Go now and take care of yourself."
