I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 149 How to become an immortal without a black heart?

Jiang Chuan and Zong Qingru looked at each other, their straight backs like two spears reaching into the sky, standing still.

"There's a gap of eight realms between you and me, and even with the added power of my bloodline, I still couldn't suppress you! You truly are worthy of being an Immortal King!"

Zong Qingru clasped his fists and said, "I have gained a lot today. If Brother Jiang comes to my Supreme Demon Sect in the future, I will open my bed to welcome you."

[You gained a lot from battling Zong Qingru in a magical power match. At the same time, you also began to think.]

[The Supreme Demon Lord comprehended the myriad phenomena of the universe, and transformed all living beings into his own sword path, transforming into nine swords.]

What is your Tao?

[Two days later, the Taisu Immortal Meeting ended, and Xiang Donglai, Nangong Chang, and the others immediately returned home.]

[As soon as you sent Zou Donglai away, Elder Jingzhen grabbed him by the neck.]

"Elder! What are you doing?!"

Jiang Chuan was extremely dissatisfied with Elder Jingzhen's magical skill of strangling the neck.

Elder Jingzhen said solemnly, "Of course I'm worried that you'll run away. The abbot told me to keep an eye on you."

"Are you sure you want to keep an eye on me and not kill me?" Jiang Chuan frowned.

"You are not a mortal. As long as your Yin Spirit is still there, a broken neck will only leave a scar the size of a bowl. You won't die."

As Elder Jingzhen spoke, he increased his strength, and his left arm was like an iron chain, tightly strangling Jiangchuan's neck.

"It seems that I have to get rid of a disaster for Bodhi Temple today!" Jiang Chuan clenched his fists.

"Boy, don't think you're invincible just because you drew a celestial map and sent down two strange phenomena."

Elder Jingzhen said proudly: "Your talent has not yet been transformed into strength, but mine has!"

A golden elixir flew out from Elder Jingzhen's body.

The golden elixir was the size of a baby's fist, and it condensed like fairy mist, dazzling and brilliant.

Twenty-four golden rays rose from it and transformed into twenty-four directions of outer space and heaven.

Looking closely, there is a figure standing tall in each of the twenty-four outer worlds.

These figures are either holding treasure bottles, or have solemn appearances, or are shaped like divine lions, all of them are majestic and sacred.

"Ordinary cultivators need to cultivate at least 749 magical powers to build an immortal foundation, but if one of the twenty-four heavenly powers is a magical power, it is equivalent to 24 great magical powers!"

"Therefore, even though I have only cultivated 26 magical powers, which is not much more than that loser Yuan Tianfang, I have already forged a genuine immortal foundation!"

Patriarch Ziyun stared at the golden elixir and said, "Jiangchuan, Jingzhen is really a bit too strong. If you don't use the Taoist weapon, it seems that you are no match for him."

Jiang Chuan used his arm to strangle Elder Jing Zhen's neck.

"It's just a golden elixir with twenty-six magical powers. I, Jiang, am a genuine Immortal Emperor. I can beat him with my bare hands!"

Although he said this, Jiang Chuan was still alert in his heart.

If drawing the map of the sky is considered the first step on the road to immortality, then condensing the golden elixir of the great way is the second step.

Many cultivators who drew the celestial map in the history of Qingyuan Realm failed to successfully take this second step, but Elder Jingzhen did it!
"Just blow it, boy!"

Elder Jingzhen's face flushed red from being strangled by Jiang Chuan. "When I first entered the Sixth Realm, I was able to handle the siege of Yuan Tianfang, who brought more than ten Maha Hall elders and their divine bodies. Now I'm at the peak of the Sixth Realm and about to break through to the Seventh Realm. I can suppress a mere Fifth Realm cultivator like you with a flip of my hand."

"Since Jiangchuan started practicing magic, he has indeed become more and more fond of bragging." Old Ancestor Ziyun raised his paw and patted Jiangchuan's head.

"Ancestor, shouldn't you help me suppress Elder Jingzhen at this time?" Jiang Chuan increased his strength.

Ziyun Patriarch looked like he was just enjoying a show: "But I think it's more interesting to watch you two fight each other."

Jiangchuan: "."

Elder Jingzhen: “.”

What should I do? I suddenly want to kill this dead cat!

"Er Jiangchuan and Elder Jingzhen are both more ruthless than the other, but each one is more talented than the other."

Meng Luoshu looked at the two people strangling each other, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion: "Is it really true that one cannot become an immortal without a black heart?"

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Elder Jingzhen hurriedly defended himself, "I'm a monk, compassionate and kind. How could I have a dark heart? Only demonic cultivators like Jingyang have dark hearts."

"Junior brother."

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

"Monks don't lie."

"."

Elder Jingyun was twirling his Buddhist beads with a worried look on his face, as if helplessness was written all over his face.

Jiangchuan and Jingzhen are the most talented in Bodhi Temple, but each of them is more troublesome than the other.

"Jingzhen! Stop pretending. Everyone in the Qingyuan world knows that you're a complete bastard."

A hearty laugh rang out, and Sun Zhaoming appeared in front of Jiang Chuan and Elder Jingzhen.

Elder Jingzhen shouted angrily, "Sun Zhaoming! You old bastard, do you believe I can beat you so hard that even your master won't recognize you?"

"Boy, try harder and try to move Jingzhen's head."

A young man in a green coat fell from the sky and landed next to Sun Zhaoming.

The young man stood tall and straight, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and a wooden ruler hanging from his waist. He looked like a teacher in a secular private school, but his brows were filled with murderous intent, and his eyes were fixed on Jingzhen.

"Qin Yuanqing, I treat you like a brother, yet you're trying to take my head off. A cunning and sinister person like you is definitely not a descendant of the Sage of Literature. You're definitely an undercover agent of the Demonic Path!" Elder Jingzhen shouted, completely forgetting that he had threatened Qin Yuanqing with the Image Stone. "He is Qin Yuanqing."

Jiang Chuan recalled what Elder Jingzhen said, that Qin Yuanqing was chased by the demon tribe and escaped naked, which was recorded by him with the photo stone, and his eyes were full of sympathy.

If someone like Elder Jingzhen gets hold of your evidence, you’ll never live in peace in this life!

Jiang Chuan was about to speak when his brows suddenly frowned.

Elder Jingzhen also released the arm that was strangling Jiangchuan.

They both turned around and looked behind them.

A man appeared behind the two of them.

The man was dressed in black, with green hair draped over his shoulders. What was strange was that even his eyebrows were green, and his skin was so white that it gave people a sickly feeling.

Just standing here gives people a gloomy and ominous feeling, which makes people shudder.

"Ximen Qing."

Elder Jingzhen spoke word by word.

Ximen Qing looked at Jiang Chuan, his eyes flashing with coldness.

"You are quite powerful. But if you dare to become an enemy of our Maha Palace, even if you are the reincarnation of a True Immortal, you are doomed to die."

After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing looked at Jiang Chuan deeply, and then turned into a long rainbow, flying out of Taisu Immortal Palace with the four elders of Maha Palace.

Elder Jingzhen said disdainfully: "If you have the guts, come to my Bodhi Temple and kill Jing Yang!"

[You become alert to Ximen Qing's warning.]

[Although you have the Nine Heavens Pagoda, the One Qi Gourd, and other Taoist artifacts to protect you, the Maha Palace is, after all, a power with a heritage of hundreds of thousands of years.]

[If he really strikes, it will be a thundering blow.]

Abbot Kongming and Elder Kongbei then flew out of the main hall, ready to take you back to Bodhi Temple.

[You said you had reached a deal with the Taisu Immortal Palace, using the palace's Dao tablet to gain enlightenment for two years.]

After receiving Gong Suxin's approval, Abbot Kongming agreed with Gong Suxin that he would come to pick you up in two years. During this time, you were not allowed to leave Taisu Immortal Palace. He then returned to Bodhi Temple with Elder Kongbei and the others.

You see Yueyan flying to a beautiful nun wearing a kapok monk's robe. You guess that this must be Master Qiuyu.

Just as you were about to step forward to inquire about the Taichi Immortal King, Master Qiuyu gave you a complicated look, then waved her sleeves and left with Yueyan and the other disciples.

You were a little confused. You had no previous experience with Master Qiuyu or Shuiyue Temple, so you didn't understand why Master Qiuyu would look at you like that.

[After the leaders of the major sects have left, Gong Suxin will find you again and bring you to the Enlightenment Palace in the Taisu Immortal Palace.]

[This time, you choose to comprehend the Dao Monument containing the Five Elements Dao.]

[On the gray Taoist stele, five thumb-shaped air currents are carved.]

Your mind is immersed in it. Five strands of energy—gold, blue, black, red, and yellow—rise from the void. They converge above the sky, transforming into a gigantic, five-colored canopy.

[The five-colored canopy was several acres in size, blocking out the sun and sky, like a giant divine furnace suspended in the sky.]

The five elements surged and intertwined, the heaven and earth began to evolve, and all the spirits of the universe appeared.

[Your mind is immersed in it, as if you have transformed into the energy of the five elements, participating in the evolution of heaven and earth.]

[When you were about to become a Taoist, you were awakened again by Gong Suxin.]

[Through conversation with Gong Suxin, I learned that it has been three months since your enlightenment.]

[You feel that your understanding of the Five Elements has reached an extraordinary level.]

[However, there is still some distance before the five seals can be combined into one and the Five Elements Heavenly Seal can be used.]

You secretly sighed, "True, the True Immortals and Immortal Kings are the best at performing the Dao."

If a True Immortal or Immortal King were to perform Dao for you, three months would be enough for you to refine the Five Elements Heavenly Seal.

After ten days of seclusion, digesting the gains of this enlightenment, you break through to the second level of the Fifth Realm. You return to the Enlightenment Hall to comprehend the Five Elements.

[Five months later, you, who were about to become a Taoist, were awakened again by Gong Suxin.]

[After another three months, you finally comprehended the Five Elements Great Dao and successfully evolved the Five Elements Heavenly Seal.]

[Your realm has also broken through to the fourth level of the fifth realm.]

[A thumb-sized seed is carved on the Dao stele containing the Dao of Life.]

[Your mind is immersed in it. Under your gaze, the seed begins to take root and sprout, gradually growing and transforming into a seven-colored divine flower.]

The seven-colored divine flower shone as brilliantly as a seven-colored divine sun. Your mind and spirit seemed to gradually merge into one.

[Three months later, you, who were about to become a Taoist, were awakened again by Gong Suxin.]

[After a short retreat, you return to the Enlightenment Hall.]

This time, you didn't continue to comprehend the Great Dao of Life, but instead observed the Dao tablets left behind by those monks who had realized 'my Dao'.

[The images carved on the surface of these Taoist tablets are bizarre and varied.]

Some were carved with dragon thrones, others with large tripods, and still others simply had the word "unbeatable" written on them.

[What attracts your attention most is a Dao stele with a palm print imprinted on it.]

[When you walk to the Dao Monument, the Dao Bone fused into your left hand will come alive, radiating a divine light.]

[At the same time, the Dao Monument also blooms with divine mist, enveloping you. The moment you are enveloped by the divine mist, the scene before your eyes instantly disappears.]
