Chapter 594 Are you a dog? Ancestral markings?
"Li Wushou, are you a dog?"

The Holy Emperor stared at Li Wushou, his expression filled with resentment, and said:
Even a dog-skin plaster isn't as sticky as you.

Li Wushou laughed heartily and joked:
"I'm not a dog, but there is indeed a fierce dog in the Three Immortals Pavilion. I'll introduce you two when you have time, Scholar Wu."

Upon hearing this, Scholar Wu rolled his eyes.

The name "Chen Gou'er" immediately came to mind.

He used to think that Li Wushou was delusional, but after learning that the "old beggar" was a senior, Wu Zhuangyuan was also quite curious about the person "Chen Gou'er".

Judging from Li Wushou's character, Chen Gou'er is probably no decent person either!

On the other side, after Li Wushou finished replying to Wu Zhuangyuan, he suddenly remembered something.

After entering this forbidden immortal land, he had a feeling of déjà vu.

Especially when he saw Yue Ling and the other cultivators from various sects, he felt that the taste of this meat was quite familiar, as if he had eaten it before.

The meat seemed quite delicious, making him nostalgic.

Could it be that he really lived here before and even ate the flesh of a cultivator?
This gave him a sudden, inexplicable unease.

His mind drifted into the Three Immortals Pavilion, watching the old beggar with his feet draped over Chen Gou'er, the two sleeping soundly. Li Wushou couldn't help but think:

If he had eaten it, Chen Gou'er must have eaten even more.

So, when the old beggar cut off the flesh of the Sparrow Lord's true spirit and fed it to Chen Gou'er, could it be that he knew Li Wushou was about to enter the Forbidden Immortal Land and deliberately put Chen Gou'er into a deep sleep?

Judging from the way the old beggar carefully "accompanied" the woman after entering, it might really be true.

Seeing that Li Wushou suddenly seemed distracted, Wu Zhuangyuan asked impatiently:
What are you doing in the Forbidden Immortal Land?

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou composed himself and replied casually:
"Oh, I'm about to become a Supreme Being, so I'm coming in to lay low for a while."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhuangyuan's expression froze.

He had anticipated this day would come soon, after their last parting at Fenglingdao.

But when he actually heard Li Wushou say that, Wu Zhuangyuan was still speechless.

too fast!
He couldn't see all of Li Wushou's Daoist aura, but it was enough to shock him.

Its Daoist aura is even more complex than that of the people in the Forbidden Immortal Land.

Nevertheless, he is about to become a supreme being so quickly.

How exactly did this brat come to this understanding?
Moreover, the other party had only been in the Forbidden Immortal Land for a few days, yet he had already achieved the resonance between heaven and earth so quickly, gathering nine innate Dao patterns far exceeding the Nine Symbols, thus becoming a Great Perfection Saint Body.

This shows that Li Wushou's understanding of Daoist principles in the outside world was not simply about being greedy for more or more diverse things.

They also grasped it to a very profound degree!

Compared to Yanwu, Xuanhuang, Jinguang, and others who are still actively resonating with heaven and earth, this kid is incredibly fast.

Even Qinghe was a step slower than this kid.

Why so fast?
Based on the innate Dao pattern avatar that Li Wushou had just displayed, Wu Zhuangyuan believed that even though Li Wushou had not yet become a Venerable, his combat power was already no weaker than that of an ordinary Venerable.

Didn't the old master say that this kid's studies were too eclectic, and he'd barely manage to become a Venerable in this lifetime?
Scholar Wu was filled with mixed emotions. Just then, Li Wushou took a few steps forward and asked furtively:
"Yanwu, Xuanhuang, did you lure them in here? Do you need my help?"

As he spoke, Li Wushou made a gesture as if he were about to strike with his knife.

But before he could finish speaking, Wu Zhuangyuan raised his hand to interrupt him.

Then, he led Li Wushou toward the thatched hut on the other side.

Li Wushou was slightly taken aback, glanced at the dark space behind Wu Zhuangyuan, and then followed.

He vaguely sensed several powerful auras surging within.

Could those be Yanwu, Xuanhuang, and the others? After entering the thatched hut, Wu Zhuangyuan sat on a reclining chair and replied:
"Don't spread rumors and cause trouble. Yanwu Xuanhuang and the others didn't enter this place with me. They found this place on their own. It just so happens that I am the Supreme Elder of the Innate Holy Sect and we met here."

Looking at Wu Zhuangyuan's serious reply, Li Wushou smiled knowingly.

"I understand, I understand, it really is a coincidence."

Upon seeing this, Scholar Wu angrily rebuked:
"Stop being sarcastic."

Li Wushou laughed heartily, saying that such things were best left unsaid.

Especially on the treacherous path of immortality, most of the coincidences are meticulously designed.

The name "Forbidden Immortal Land" alone suggests that such a place must be extremely secluded.

Li Wushou wouldn't have known this if he hadn't heard the old beggar's explanation.

However, Yanwu, Xuanhuang, and the others all learned of this news at the same time.

If no one had deliberately spread the word, Li Wushou would never have believed that such a coincidence could happen.

Besides the old beggar, who else knows about the forbidden immortal land?
That must be the extraordinary Scholar Wu that the old beggar had always talked about.

Li Wushou initially didn't think of Wu Zhuangyuan as the Supreme Elder of the Innate Holy Sect.

After all, although he guessed that Wu Zhuangyuan might have also come to the Forbidden Immortal Land with Yan Wu and others, he couldn't be sure.

However, the timings mentioned by Wuyue Shanren several times were all too coincidental.

For example, he attained enlightenment nearly two thousand years ago, then disappeared for over a thousand years, and has just returned in the last few days, having achieved a great holy body, etc.

When Li Wushou compared Wu Zhuangyuan with this information one by one, he found an astonishing match.

First of all, Wu Zhuangyuan's ascension to immortality should have occurred in this forbidden immortal land, approximately two thousand years ago, which matches the timeline.

Then Wu Zhuangyuan returned to the outside world, which caused the rumors in this world that the Holy Lord of the Innate Holy Sect was traveling all over the world. Then he returned a few days ago during the solar eclipse.

Besides, Wu Zhuangyuan's physical body was the strongest Li Wushou had ever seen.

Li Wushou had never been able to gauge the depth of his opponent's abilities!
This aligns perfectly with the information about the Great Accomplishment Holy Body.

Among the Venerable Ones, Wu Zhuangyuan has always been exceptionally strong, exceeding all expectations.

Once the opponent attained enlightenment, the two Heavenly Venerables of Mount Bulao severed the Jiezi Ferry in Fubo Domain, causing them to retreat in fear.

Yanwu, Xuanhuang, and others lived in his shadow.

All of this is very likely related to the power boost that comes from Wu Zhuangyuan's achievement of the Great Perfection Sacred Body!
Although Li Wushou has not yet become a Venerable, with his current physical body, he is not afraid of Venerables, let alone Wu Zhuangyuan.

Therefore, Wu Zhuangyuan must have some scheme in mind to lure Yanwu and others to the Forbidden Immortal Land at this juncture.

Who else could Wu Qinghe be willing to go to such lengths for, besides Wu Zhuangyuan?
Thinking of this, Li Wushou's expression turned serious, and he solemnly asked Scholar Wu:
"Qinghe is here too, right? How is she doing?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhuangyuan subconsciously muttered a curse:
"You dare call me Qinghe?"

Seeing the seriousness on Li Wushou's face, his tone softened, and he changed the subject, replying:
"We are currently resonating with heaven and earth in the forbidden area. Yanwu and the others are doing the same. After a few days, once we have completely completed the interaction with this world, I will open the innate tomb to find the ancestral mark for Qinghe."

At this point, Wu Zhuangyuan felt a pang of liver pain.

He wasn't surprised that this kid was able to get in, after all, he had entered this place before using the method given to him by the senior.

But why is it that Li Wushou can directly inscribe the patterns of heaven and earth, or even the innate Dao patterns, without needing to resonate with heaven and earth?
How come Li Wushou, an outsider, is more like a native than the locals?
Li Wushou was naturally unaware of what Wu Zhuangyuan was thinking.

His attention was completely drawn to a single word spoken by Wu Zhuangyuan.

Raising an eyebrow, Li Wushou asked:
What are ancestral markings?
