This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 271 Yan Dao Yuanshen
At the same time, in the Immortal Palace, Zhuang Lin had not actually lost his physical senses.

Even for other True Daoist Yuan Shen masters, once their Yuan Shen is released, their physical bodies are not stiff and immobile, but rather become relatively weak points. However, Zhuang Lin's situation is quite different from theirs.

Zhuang Lin's physical body was not much different from before he left his primordial spirit, and he could even be distracted by other things.

The only slightly awkward thing for Zhuang Lin now is that all seven volumes in front of him have been burned, and he will have to worry about this for a while.

However, for now, let's pretend we're not paying attention to this side and focus our attention on our primordial spirit.

At this moment, Zhuang Lin's primordial spirit was not using the same supernatural power as before, but flying through the air.

Although it was Zhuang Lin's first time traveling with his primordial spirit, he did not feel too unfamiliar with it and was able to travel freely in just a short while.

The Taihang Mountains seemed to be rushing backward below, and the energy of heaven and earth was clearly abnormal in my eyes.

Even without using any mysterious supernatural powers, Zhuang Lin still quickly arrived at the place he wanted to go, which was the dilapidated temple in the mountains where he had first lured out the One-Horned Ghost King.

His primordial spirit stood high in the sky, glancing at the mountains with just one glance. The faint Buddhist light in the dilapidated temple was as clear to Zhuang Lin as a lamp in the dark night.

The perspective of the primordial spirit seems to be slightly different from the usual Dharma Eye. As Zhuang Lin thought about it, he tried it slightly and a sense of connection between the physical body and the primordial spirit was generated. The radiance above the primordial spirit was faintly unable to be suppressed.

At that moment, Zhuang Lin almost instantly teleported, and in an instant, his primordial spirit appeared in the same position as the blazing sun in the sky. The immortal light emanating from his primordial spirit was hidden under the sunlight of the golden autumn sun.

At that very moment, Zhuang Lin's magical power rapidly ignited, and the laws of heaven and earth became increasingly clear in his primordial spirit's eyes, manifesting as emerald eyes and square pupils.
In that instant, Zhuang Lin's eyes were filled with pain, but in that instant, they were also clearer than ever before, allowing Zhuang Lin to directly see the patterns inside the dilapidated temple and the statue of the Shamen Heavenly King guarding outside the patterns.

Zhuang Lin even saw through many secrets of the pattern itself, and saw clearly the causal lines on it, some dark and some light. Focusing on one of them, he seemed to hear a series of Buddhist chants.

Suppressing the urge to continue exploring along the cause-and-effect lines, Zhuang Lin did not delve deeper. Instead, using his current divine eye to sense the state of his primordial spirit, he instantly rushed towards the dilapidated temple.

At the same moment, the clouds in the distance above the sky under Zhuang Lin's command underwent a change in their energy.

"Rumble--"

With a thunderous roar, Zhuang Lin also used his magic to teleport, and almost the instant the lightning illuminated the dilapidated temple, his primordial spirit had already vanished into the mural.

In the next instant, Zhuang Lin appeared directly under a gray sky, with an endless expanse of towering mountains in the distance, and a feeling of extreme oppression.

really!

I can escape the sect restrictions of the Yanzhen Sect. Although this place is troublesome, I can do it with the help of the Dharma Eye, but it doesn't seem to be as smooth.

The grayness of the sky seemed to conceal thunder and fire, and in Zhuang Lin's current Dharma eyes, it also revealed a dark red hue. Looking further into the distance, the energy was complex and chaotic, and there was an even more earth-shattering pressure.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing a question, Zhuang Lin immediately concealed his divine eye and the brilliance of his primordial spirit, hiding himself within the surrounding aura.

A beam of light appeared from the spot where Zhuang Lin had just appeared. It was none other than the Shamen Heavenly King. As soon as his figure appeared, waves of Buddhist light also appeared, seemingly illuminating the entire area.

Zhuang Lin dared not linger. He only caught a glimpse of the other party before taking advantage of the moment the other party entered to escape through the path the other party had broken open, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Within the secret realm of the colorless divine mountain, Shamen Tianwang looked around for a long time but found nothing amiss. He also sensed that the auras of the demon kings in the distance were normal.

Could it be an illusion?
The sudden clap of thunder drew the attention of the Shamen Heavenly King, who noticed for a moment that the mural seemed to have moved slightly, but there was nothing unusual about the temple or the secret realm connected to the painting.

After a long time, the Buddha's light returned to the Shamen Heavenly King. The dilapidated temple was still the same, but a light rain had started to fall outside.

Zhuang Lin's spirit stood high in the sky, looking down at the dilapidated temple below.

Entering the realm in his primordial spirit state, especially what he saw with his blue eyes and square pupils, made Zhuang Lin realize the tricky part of the matter, but also gave him more confidence.

At least they're no longer completely in the dark; with a glance, they can know quite a lot.

The unknown is always the most terrifying, while the known, however powerful, is not invincible.

Inside the Immortal Palace of the Yanzhen Sect, Chang Ruoyu was extremely anxious.

Just now, Senior Zhuang, who was sitting calmly at his desk, suddenly had two lines of blood spilling from the corners of his eyes, which made everyone's hearts tremble.

Could it be that the primordial spirit was injured outside?
That's impossible. Who could possibly harm someone from the Lingxiao Sacred Realm?
What exactly is going on now?
Although Chang Ruoyu and the others were extremely anxious, they dared not disturb Zhuang Lin and could only wait anxiously on the side.

Fortunately, not long after, a beam of light flew back from the sky. Within the cultivation grounds of the Yanzhen Sect, almost all the boundless spiritual energy gathered at that moment, converging into a five-colored radiance at Zhuang Lin's primordial spirit, nourishing his primordial spirit body.

A while later, Zhuang Lin's primordial spirit returned to the Immortal Palace, glanced at the excited people around him, and then returned directly to his physical body.

"call"

Zhuang Lin let out a soft breath, then looked down at his empty right hand, and glanced at the other six scrolls on the table that had also long since disappeared. He still had to face the situation.

"The Taiyi Record is indeed a remarkable book, an ancient classic for cultivation. I was deeply moved while reading it and gained some insights into the principles of cultivation. In my joy, I tried to verify them, but I never expected that the book would be burned because of me."

As the sect leader, Chang Ruoyu was the first to react, but he couldn't help but speak up when he heard Zhuang Lin say that.

"Senior, there's no need to say that. We can see clearly that the burning of this 'Taiyi Record' was not your fault. It was clearly because the seven volumes were connected by their energy, and at that moment, they spontaneously released the remaining Dao essence!"

Chang Ruoyu and the cultivators of Yanzhen Sect have been cultivating for quite some time, so they have this much knowledge.

"Therefore, rather than saying that the senior's fault led to the burning of the Taiyi Record, it is more accurate to say that the Taiyi Record was fortunate enough to be read by the senior, and was finally able to reveal its true nature. Even if it was only for a fleeting moment, it allowed the senior to understand its mysteries to the greatest extent possible!"

This surprised Zhuang Lin slightly. In fact, how could he not know about this? But if he said it like that, it would seem like he was taking advantage of the situation and shirking responsibility.

Having already received a tremendous benefit, Zhuang Lin was naturally willing to take on this responsibility. However, Chang Ruoyu directly pointed out the truth of the matter, but upon closer reflection, it was indeed true.

The true path may be wrong, but one has a wealth of knowledge.

Zhuang Lin sighed.

"That being said, this book was still destroyed because of me. I will find a way to give those two fellow Daoists an explanation!"

"Senior, what are you saying? That is the responsibility of my Yanzhen Sect. What does it have to do with you?"

Chang Ruoyu spoke with a hint of excitement, then couldn't help but ask another question.

"Senior, is the content of this book related to the primordial spirit? Otherwise, your Saintly Realm primordial spirit..."

Chang Ruoyu stopped there and didn't continue.

If it weren't related to the primordial spirit, how could the senior have been unable to resist having his primordial spirit leave his body? And the secret of the primordial spirit is even the highest mystery of the True Daoist cultivation; who among those present wouldn't be concerned about it?

But Chang Ruoyu was very uneasy about the mystery she had just asked.
Zhuang Lin looked around at the people, thought for a moment, and nodded. How could this be unrelated to the primordial spirit?

"It is indeed somewhat related to the cultivation of the primordial spirit."

At this point, Zhuang Lin paused slightly, then realized something and immediately looked at Chang Ruoyu and the people around him.

Saintly Realm Primordial Spirit?

Zhuang Lin immediately thought of one of the great cultivation legends of the True Path, which was the concept of the True Manifestation of the Soaring Realm. He vaguely understood why the people of the Yanzhen Sect had treated him that way before.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Lin, feeling both amused and exasperated, still managed a smile.

"Lingxiao Sacred Realm?"

Zhuang Lin's words sounded like a question and a sigh, causing Chang Ruoyu and the others to jump in surprise and stand respectfully to listen attentively.

Zhuang Lin sighed again, looking at Chang Ruoyu, who was closest to him. Chang Ruoyu was also a master of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Alas, the so-called Lingxiao Sacred Realm within the primordial spirit is both the aspiration of today's cultivators and the tragedy of the cultivation path. What Lingxiao Sacred Realm? It's nothing more than what the primordial spirit should be like."

Witnessing the true Lingxiao Sacred Realm Primordial Spirit was a joyous occasion that Zhenyi Daoist considered worthy of universal celebration, but Zhuang Lin's words at this moment evoked a sense of helplessness and sorrow in those present.

Yes, the pursuit of immortality and truth by the True Path, and the yearning for the Lingxiao Sacred Realm, is nothing less than a yearning for the very essence of cultivation.
Those who have truly cultivated to a certain level actually understand what the primordial spirit should be like, but isn't that something no one can reach?

"Please sit down, everyone. Release the restrictions on the Immortal Palace and let that disciple guarding the mountain in. Today I will explain the wonders of the primordial spirit to you and expound the Dao for you. Whether you understand it or not, whether you can absorb it or not, listen to as much as you can!"

Boom——

Everyone felt as if a thunderbolt had struck their minds. Chang Ruoyu and the others showed disbelief, which quickly turned into ecstasy.

Chang Ruoyu almost performed a deep bow, bending her waist to the ground.

"Accept the decree!"

This time, Zhuang Lin did not stop him, but accepted the greeting, because he was worthy of it!

After standing up, Chang Ruoyu resumed his posture as the sect leader, and in a calm tone, instructed the equally excited people around him.

"Quickly, let that disciple in! Open all the barriers sealing the mountain gate!"
