Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1249: Space Maze Town
Using the traces of the Nanming Lihuo Sword as a guide, Deng Chanyu entered the deepest part of the Space Avenue without much effort.

In fact, only at this stage is it the path to enlightenment that Hongjun, the Six Saints, and others originally believed in. Before, things like the three flowers on the top of the head and the five energies in the chest sounded very basic, and indeed they were. That is, the level of the cultivators in the ancient times declined year by year, with each generation being worse than the last. Only then did Xuanmen start from the Golden Immortal stage and use the word "attainment". Seriously speaking, the Golden Immortal is still far from enlightenment.

Deng Chanyu bid farewell to Jie Yin and Zhunti and immediately went to complete her own path to enlightenment.

Space is not a mountain, and time is not a river. This is just the understanding of the Tao by our ancestors.

In terms of the avenue of space, this predecessor refers to Yang Mei.

He thought it was a mountain, and now it is a mountain. Pioneers always have some honors and privileges.

Only when Deng Chanyu attains the Dao of Hunyuan, masters the Avenue of Space, and surpasses Yang Mei's previous level, will the form of existence of the Avenue of Space change with her cognition.

She's still far from that stage.
Deng Chanyu had a clear goal. She shuttled through countless chaotic spaces, rushing all the way, and finally broke into a strange world without sky and earth veins. After the surrounding environment turned into a recognizable reality, she found herself in a place similar to a shallow beach.

Because she was well prepared and her own realm had surpassed the basic requirements for enlightenment, her arrival was not awkward, but rather calm and peaceful.

She stood on the shallows and looked around, quickly found a direction, walked less than a hundred feet away, and pushed aside the weeds that were taller than a person. An ancient town that looked a bit deserted appeared before her.

"Oh? You are not an ordinary person. Are you the eldest daughter of a certain family? Why don't you bring any servants with you? Come on, let's go into the town. It can be very unsafe here at night." A middle-aged man observed her from a distance for a while. When he saw her looking around, he came out from the dark and greeted her.

The middle-aged man was sturdy and strong, and seemed to have good martial arts skills. He was wearing some kind of leather armor, carrying a bow and arrow, and had a standard Han Dynasty iron sword hanging around his waist.

Deng Chanyu glanced at the man. Even though a long time had passed, she still called out his name: "Li Gui? I remember you were a brave general under Zhou Ji, right?"

The middle-aged man named Li Gui was a little surprised: "Your Excellency knows me? And you also know General Zhou?"

Zhou Ji is Huang Feihu's family general. He once followed Deng Chanyu in the Western Expedition a long time ago. He was deified after his death and is now one of the Six Star Gods of the Southern Dipper.

This Li Gui used to be Zhou Ji's horse leader. Deng Chanyu had seen him from afar and heard Huang Feibiao introduce his name. Even though hundreds of years had passed, she could still remember him whenever she thought about it.

She nodded first, then asked, "I know Zhou Ji, why are you here?"

This Li Gui is just an ordinary person. She would never believe that he could comprehend the mysteries of the way of space, and then surpass the reborn Di Jiang and reach the level that Deng Chanyu is now.

The Han Kingdom is considered a high-level martial arts world in the novel, but it is not this awesome. A horseman cannot reach this level.

Forget about leading the horse, even Bi Ma Wen doesn't have the ability to do that.

Li Gui had seen the world, and at first he thought Deng Chanyu had an extraordinary temperament, thinking that she was some rich lady who had drifted to this remote place. Later, after observing her closely, he found that her temperament was indeed different from that of ordinary people, so he changed his words and called her "noble lady". Now he was completely confused and had no idea what her identity was.

He chose his words carefully, saying, "I was granted the great favor of the late emperor and appointed as the Defense Commissioner of Yingzhou. Ten years ago, while leading troops to suppress bandits, I mistakenly entered a valley and ended up here when I emerged."

After a brief hesitation, he pointed at the town and said, "There are still some people who have strayed here, and some whose origins I can't quite pinpoint. It's a very strange place. If you don't mind, please condescend to my house and have a few sips of plain tea and rest for a while."

Deng Chanyu has only seen this town so far, and has not seen the giant mountain that represents the origin of space.

"Okay, sorry to bother you then."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The town looked deserted, but it was actually quite populated. Deng Chanyu scanned it with her spiritual sense and found that it was all ordinary people, not a single immortal.

Some of them looked numb, just sitting under the eaves, while others were worried, their eyes full of vigilance.

According to Li Gui, some people have lived in this town for many, many years.

They won't die of old age here, they will only be visibly exhausted. The living environment here is too harsh.

"Didn't you find a way out?" Even though she guessed the answer, Deng Chanyu still asked.

Li Gui shook his head and pointed to the north end of the road. "Look, my lord, walk in that direction. In about an hour, you will reappear at the south end of the town. Here."

His vocabulary was limited, and he couldn't say things like "over and over again," so he could only gesture with his hands.

Deng Chanyu nodded to show that she understood.

A circulation space that looks quite solid.

She can create this kind of space with just a thought and erase it with just another thought.

Zhunti's previous experience made her not want to show off her skills on the spot, but she calmly followed Li Gui around the town.

I also have some understanding of the identities of some civilians.

Everyone entered this space by mistake.

Among them are high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty like Li Gui, woodcutters in the mountains, village women returning to their parents' homes, and even people whose clothing is completely different from that of today, who are said to be from the Tang and Song dynasties.

Li Gui also introduced his wife, Song.

"My wife takes good care of me. She mends my clothes, cooks for me, and makes tea for me. She is a good person."

Li Gui has his own family in Han State, and his grandchildren are all over the place. He met his current wife after entering the space maze town. They have a good impression of each other and are living together.

His wife had lost some of her memory and could not tell where she came from. She didn't even know the name of the country. She only vaguely remembered that it was Jiexiu County, Fenyang Prefecture, which was obviously not a place in the Han Kingdom.

Deng Chanyu asked Li Gui, "Have you ever seen an immortal here?"

Li Gui laughed and said, "How can a mortal like me meet an immortal?"

Seeing Deng Chanyu's serious expression, he could only try his best to recall, but he had no clue in his haste.

Song was smart enough to whisper a few words in his ear.

Li Gui suddenly realized something and said, "Monsters appear in this town every night. There's a legend, I don't know who first told it, that the monsters are immortals with the ability to fly and hide. They've all gone crazy!"
