Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 599 What to do, what to do!
The once bright world suddenly turned dark.

Li Wushou looked up and saw that it was noon, the time of day when the sun was at its zenith.

However, having experienced the previous solar eclipse, Li Wushou knew that even the most extreme yang contained extreme yin.

Sure enough, not long after Wu Zhuangyuan finished speaking...

Within Li Wushou's divine world, the tranquil River Styx suddenly churned, as if countless yin spirits were howling.

This time, the commotion caused is even greater than when it approached the Innate Holy Sect!

Just then, the sky above the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain of the Innate Holy Sect was filled with a vast expanse of Yin energy, fluctuating with an unpredictable and mysterious aura.

Suddenly, a long, winding bridge shadow, from darkness to light, slowly emerged from the vast yin energy, reaching all the way to the altar of the temple.

Li Wushou looked closely and saw that the long bridge was floating in the yin energy, connecting to the unknown void.

The bridge is bluish-gray in color and engraved with extremely ancient patterns.

Immediately afterward, Li Wushou's mind stirred, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Because he discovered that this bluish-gray long bridge was actually composed entirely of the nine innate Dao patterns that had already materialized.

These Dao patterns are identical to many of the Dao patterns used to construct the magic array in the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain of the Innate Holy Sect.

Although the possibility of further evolution has been lost, the visual impact brought to everyone by the convergence of so many Nine Symbols Innate Dao Patterns is enormous.

It's no exaggeration to say that if someone could perfectly control this bridge, then with a single strike, even the sacred domain of a Venerable would probably be shattered.
Li Wushou observed the bridge while looking around at the crowd.

He discovered that not only he was in shock, but also Wu Zhuangyuan, Xianlian Dazun, and even Dao Yi and others were deeply shocked.

Li Wushou then realized that this time, opening the Innate Tomb seemed to be somewhat different.

At least this bridge, even Dao Yi and the others seemed to have never seen it before.

The entire Xiantian Sacred Sect's Daoist temple fell into a long period of silence because of the manifestation of this long bridge.

Until both ends of the long bridge, clusters of delicate, blood-red flowers bloomed amidst the pervasive yin energy.

In the training ground, the Supreme Daoist Master of the Innate Holy Sect exhaled a long breath and murmured in horror:
"The legend is true, the flowers bloom on the other side of the river. What a pity! Is there really a Bridge of Helplessness?"

Dao Yi spoke very softly, but Li Wushou caught it with great clarity.

Is this bridge called the "Bridge of Helplessness"?

The more Li Wushou learned about the Forbidden Immortal Land, the more he felt that the outside world had buried much of history.

However, considering the once-in-three-thousand-years cataclysmic change in the world, Li Wushou felt relieved.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard a telepathic message in his mind.

"It is said that the First Emperor once controlled Yin and Yang and created all the Dao, and was already immortal and indestructible."

But his friends died one after another, so Zulong wanted to connect life and death, start the cycle of reincarnation, and bring his dead friends back to life.

This bridge is the bridge between life and death, named 'Naihe'. Crossing this bridge will take you to the land of the dead.

Within the Land of the Dead reside a host of underworld gods who punish evil and promote good, and can guide people through the cycle of reincarnation.

Alas, fate plays tricks on us, and success or failure can turn into nothing.

What can be done? What can be done?

Li Wushou's mind stirred, and he looked towards the Three Immortals Pavilion within the Divine Aperture World.

The old beggar, who had been fast asleep since entering the forbidden immortal land, woke up at some point and recounted the information about the "Bridge of Helplessness" with a melancholy expression.

He even sighed softly at the end.

This wasn't the first time Li Wushou had seen this expression on the old beggar's face.

Previously at Huangyuan Mountain, when Li Wushou picked up half a piece of skin from Boyue, the Lord of Youdu, the old beggar had shown the same expression he had today.

Having met him again today, Li Wushou couldn't help but ask:
"Did the Ancestral Dragon really exist?"

When Li Wushou first heard about the "First Emperor" from Wu Zhuangyuan, he thought it was just a legend.

After all, not only was Li Wushou completely unaware of the "Ancestral Dragon" from the outside world, but even in this forbidden land, it seemed that apart from the Innate Holy Sect, other sects were also unaware of it.

It should be noted that Dao Yi's murmurs were not only heard by Li Wushou.

Almost everyone present heard it, but whether it was the outside venerables like Jin Guang or the local nineteen sect elders like Mu Feng, everyone was bewildered. The old beggar, however, spoke with absolute certainty, and Li Wushou naturally wanted to confirm it.

With his back to Li Wushou, the old beggar solemnly lit an incense stick on the altar.

Then he replied slowly and deliberately:

"Of course! Everyone knows that the First Dragon created the world."

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou raised an eyebrow.

This so-called "common knowledge" certainly does not refer to the "common people" of today.

Li Wushou no longer wanted to delve into how many years ago this "worldly person" was.

He just wanted to know if the creation of the world by the First Dragon was true.

With the abilities of the First Emperor, he should have been at the "Immortal" level long ago, right?

Given such power, according to the First Emperor's philosophy, why did he allow the "Heaven and Earth Immortals" to rule the world and dominate it every three thousand years?

What exactly is the relationship between these two?
Seeing that the old beggar was unusually unpretentious and willing to communicate, Li Wushou bluntly asked the question that had been on his mind.

Upon hearing this, the old beggar snorted coldly and retorted:
"Who says that 'He' is in charge of this world? Aren't you and I also going to become immortals? Who will ultimately rule the universe is still unknown!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou rolled his eyes.

Isn't this nonsense?
If it weren't for "He" in power, would Scholar Wu have needed to sneak into this forbidden land of immortals to attain enlightenment?

Does the Three Immortals Pavilion need to hide?

It's true that he wants to become an immortal, but there are many people in the world who want to become immortals. Just because someone wants to become an immortal doesn't mean that the other party is powerful.
The old beggar's words were clearly tinged with emotion.

Unwilling to argue with the old beggar, Li Wushou, suddenly struck by a sudden thought, asked:

"And what about you? What is your relationship with the First Emperor and 'He'?"

The old beggar knew Boyue, was able to seal the "Gate of Reincarnation," knew how to enter the "Forbidden Immortal Gate," and understood the "Bridge of Helplessness," so he must be on the side of the First Emperor.

Who knows, maybe the other party, like Boyo, was a top god of the underworld in the Land of the Dead back then?
When the God of the Underworld was developing the River Styx in Li Wushou's divine aperture world, the old beggar had told him about it.

They differ from the gods of today; they do not emphasize cultivating yang from yin, but rather pursue extreme yin.

But the old beggar is not only skilled in the Yin-Yang Divine Path, he is also skilled in the Yang Divine Path, so he doesn't seem to belong to the Yin-Yang Divine Path.
Li Wushou was also quite curious about the old beggar's identity.

Upon hearing this, the old beggar did not answer directly, but instead replied with a face full of resentment:

"The First Dragon is the creator of all creation, and has bestowed grace upon all living beings. I have received his blessings and deeply admire him. As for 'He'? Who would want to have anything to do with 'He'?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou's expression turned strange.

The old beggar's words to Zu Long undoubtedly confirmed his earlier conjecture.

However, the explanation of the relationship with "He" is somewhat strange.

I don't want to have anything to do with "Him"!

Does this statement mean that, although one is unwilling to have a relationship, one has still become involved?

When the old beggar extracted a black bean from his body and placed it under the incense burner last time, Li Wushou discovered that there were about six or seven similar black beans.

This is enough to show that the old beggar had entangled with "him" at least six or seven times.

Just as he was about to ask for more details, a soft shout from Scholar Wu suddenly came from above the Innate Sacred Sect's training grounds:
"The Primordial Tomb has been opened. Please absorb the Dao into your bodies and prepare to cross the bridge to enter the tomb!"

Li Wushou was slightly distracted when he saw that the old beggar who had just been standing in front of the incense table had returned to his bed and was resting with his eyes closed again.

Li Wushou paused for a moment, then sighed inwardly.

What a pity!

He then composed himself and began to prepare.

He still didn't know what this so-called Body of Absorption of the Dao was.

Previously, in the forbidden area behind the mountain, he had been repeatedly beaten by Scholar Wu.
