I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

night.

The old village chief of Shicun invited everyone to the village's bonfire party, where they would eat barbecue, sing, and dance together.

The previous Devouring Sparrow and Qiongqi were all made into jerky by the villagers of Shicun.

However, the physical body of a Venerable-level being contains abundant life essence and killing power, which ordinary people and even ordinary cultivators cannot withstand.

Xu Yi used his power to obliterate the murderous aura within the flesh and blood, leaving only the most primal life essence energy, so that everyone could consume it normally and improve their strength.

late at night.

Xu Yi arrived at Liu Shen's place, and Liu Shen manifested in human form, looking like a dream, surrounded by chaotic immortal light.

"Liu Shen, thank you for your guidance during this time," Xu Yi said.

“Your talent is exceptional. Even without my guidance, you will continue to make great strides.”

Willow Goddess's voice was ethereal. At the same time, she reached out and the Mountain Treasure appeared in her palm. "I have opened the Mountain Treasure's restriction. Inside is the inheritance of the Supreme Hall of the Upper Realm. The most important inheritances are the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique and the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique: Grass Character Sword Instructions. If you can learn them, your future will be limitless!"

"Thank you." Xu Yi accepted the mountain treasure.

Since the Willow Goddess broke the seal, she must have seen the inheritance inside.

This is the legacy of a great religion from the upper realm. Forcibly opening it will only cause the legacy to self-destruct.

With Liu Shen's help, there were no worries about the future.

"I don't know when we'll meet again after this parting," Xu Yi said.

"We may meet again at the summit of the Great Dao someday," Liu Shen replied calmly.

"Reaching the pinnacle of the Great Dao is a long way off, but if there's a chance, Willow God, you can come to my world too."

Xu Yi suddenly thought for a moment and then extended an invitation.

"Your world, which is the future? But even if I traverse the river of time, I can only look down upon the vast expanse of time and space from within the river of time; I cannot interfere with time itself," said Willow God.

"It's alright, I have other ways. If you're willing, it's not a problem. Besides, I didn't come here from the future!" Xu Yi said with a smile.

“Okay,” Liu Shen agreed.

"It's decided just like that."

Xu Yi was in a great mood and became more talkative. He looked at the Willow God's physical form, which was very beautiful, holy, and flawless, but it was barefoot and not wearing any shoes.

“Liu Shen, actually your feet are very beautiful. You could try wearing a pair of shoes,” Xu Yi said.

"?" Willow God.

Why wear it?

Liu Shen was puzzled, because she had never thought about this aspect before.

"Uh... it's better to wear them, otherwise they'll get dusty," Xu Yi explained.

"I am originally an immaculate body, a perfect immortal body, and mortal things cannot get close to me," Willow God explained earnestly.

"Ok."

Xu Yi wasn't dwelling on this issue; perhaps strong individuals have unique habits.

As long as I don't end up like some immortal emperor who goes barefoot and accidentally steps on a poisonous creature, dying from the poison, that's fine.

A perfect spacetime shouldn't exist, right?

"Would you like to drink, Goddess Liu?" Xu Yi asked.

"Drink," Liu Shen replied.

Immediately, a celestial barrier unfolded centered on the willow tree stump, and Xu Yi and the Willow God once again drank and discussed the Dao.

……

Earth.

Xu Yi returned to Jiang City, and An Miaoyi was by his side.

"Young master, why aren't you staying by that descendant of the demon emperor's side?"

In the living room, An Miaoyi took the initiative to speak, her words filled with jealousy.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

"No, it's just that right after she woke up, you went to Beidou alone and even met Fairy Yan." An Miaoyi feigned sadness.

"Miaoyi, we are fellow Daoists, just discussing and exchanging ideas." Xu Yi reached out and pulled An Miaoyi into his arms.

"Young master, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Just don't forget Miaoyi," An Miaoyi whispered.

The TV in the living room was turned on, and several unusual news items popped up.

"In a certain area, an ancient tomb was recently unearthed, and many ancient Buddha sculptures were discovered."

Upon seeing the news, An Miaoyi suddenly remembered something. "Young Master, I've been researching Earth's history and discovered that a Buddha named Shakyamuni once lived here. Is this Buddha related to the one in the Big Dipper constellation?"

An Miaoyi has a Buddhist lineage, so she is very sensitive to Buddhist objects.

In the Western Desert, Shakyamuni is a taboo, a demon Buddha, who once caused great disasters, and is even a heretic.

Shakyamuni could have become a Buddha and the patriarch, and he was the closest to Buddha after Amitabha Buddha, but his ideas were very different from those of Buddhism, and he almost destroyed the Western Desert tradition.

Xu Yi pondered. He knew An Miaoyi would definitely notice this, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly. So he explained, "Your guess is correct. Back then, when Shakyamuni was expelled from the Western Desert, he embarked on the ancient star road, traveled for many years, and finally came to Earth."

The Buddhist tradition on Earth was left behind by him, and his legacy is preserved here.

However, the lineage you cultivate should reject the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha.

“Yes, he is a taboo figure. Even the eminent monks of the Western Desert are unwilling to mention him. It is said that he was once an unparalleled genius of his time, with unfathomable Buddhist knowledge,” An Miaoyi said.

“Miaoyi, actually I think you shouldn’t practice Buddhism as well. You’re in the prime of your life, and learning this stuff is bad for your mind. In the end, you’ll become detached from emotions and desires, which is unlike yourself,” Xu Yi reminded him.

An Miaoyi is still a normal person now, but if she continues down this path, she will eventually sever her past and become a follower of Buddha, spending her days with only the ancient Buddha and the green lamp.

The Buddhist path is indeed excellent, having produced many great beings, including even the human emperor Amitabha Buddha.

However, this path, this system, is too evil.

The higher one's level of cultivation, the less one resembles oneself, and the more one severs the seven emotions and six desires.

In Xu Yi's view, Buddhism is demonic, even fanatical and extreme.

An Miaoyi sensed the worry in Xu Yi's words and smiled playfully, "Young Master, are you worried that one day I will stop caring for myself, enter a monastery, and abandon everything in this world?"

“Mm.” Xu Yi nodded.

"Young master, no, that won't happen."

As she spoke, An Miaoyi's fiery red lips pressed against hers, instantly creating a tense atmosphere in the living room.

"According to a report from a certain TV station, a large number of tourists have gone missing in the Kunlun Mountain scenic area, and relevant departments have launched an investigation. Tourists are advised not to travel alone to remote mountain scenic areas recently."

Another news item was broadcast on television.

Chapter 57 Kunlun Immortal, Ye Hei's Birth

"Kunlun Mountain Scenic Area!"

Upon hearing this news, Xu Yi's expression changed slightly.

An Miaoyi, nestled in his arms, sensed Xu Yi's emotional fluctuation and spoke up, "Kunlun Scenic Area, that sounds familiar. Isn't that where your sister went to travel, young master?"

“Not bad.” Xu Yi nodded.

"In Earth's history, Kunlun has always been mysterious, and there are even legends of immortals living there. Many powerful figures also came from there."

Xu Yi then gave a further explanation.

“There are immortals in Kunlun, young master. Could it be that immortals have really emerged from there?” An Miaoyi asked.

She remembered Xu Yi saying that there were many powerful figures leaving behind their legacy on Earth.

Just like Shakyamuni, powerful figures from the Big Dipper constellation have also come here.

"It's hard to say for sure whether immortals have ever appeared. And what is the definition of an immortal? Perhaps an immortal is just a more powerful cultivator," Xu Yi said.

An Miaoyi realized that legends are passed down orally, and over a long period of time, they will always change.

However, the definition of immortals by cultivators varies in different periods, especially when there are historical gaps.

“Young Master, Kunlun has undergone an anomaly. Does that mean your sister Xu Qiong is in danger?” An Miaoyi said.

"It's alright, I already have a solution," Xu Yi said.

Being with Ye Fan, the chosen one of the era, is bound to be full of unexpected events. If you're not tough enough, it'll be hard to make it to the end.

So, without Xu Qiong's knowledge, Xu Yi left many tricks and life-saving measures on his sister.

Nevertheless, Xu Yi still unleashed his divine sense to encompass the entire Earth.

The Holy King's divine consciousness was extremely powerful, and his primordial spirit power was all-encompassing. As a chaotic being, Xu Yi's foundation and strength were far superior to those of others at the same level.

Even when facing ordinary Great Sage-level experts, Xu Yi could kill them directly.

His divine sense spread across the heavens and earth, approaching Kunlun in the west. He perceived the vast Kunlun Mountains, but the more he perceived them, the more he discovered that the Kunlun Mountains were even more expansive than they actually appeared.

At the same time, this place contains abundant natural energy, which is completely opposite to the natural environment outside.

It is impossible to cultivate in the outside world. Even if one could cultivate, one would only have a realm, unable to manifest the Dao, and would be suppressed by heaven and earth, making it difficult to display supernatural powers.

The Kunlun Mountains absorbed the essence of the ancient planet Earth to nourish this region, giving rise to some powerful creatures within the Kunlun Mountains.

From what Xu Yi sensed, there were four Dao-Slaying Kings deep within the Kunlun Mountains, as well as powerful Saint Lord-level beings.

If Earth didn't lack life-restricted zones and ancient clans and sects, this level of combat power would barely qualify as top-tier in the current Beidou Star Region.

The top combat power on the surface of the Big Dipper Starfield is only below that of a Saint. Saints have not appeared for thousands of years, and there are very few even who have reached the Dao-Slaying King level!

Most of them are at the Sendai I or Sendai II level.

……

The Kunlun Mountains, a microcosm within.

Ye Fan and Xu Qiong unexpectedly arrived at the real Kunlun from the mist. They walked in a forest, where the surrounding mist materialized, and the heavens and earth contained rich essence. Ye Fan took a breath and felt refreshed and his strength increased. In particular, he felt a mysterious power resurfacing within his body.

"Ye Fan, is this still the Kunlun Scenic Area? Look at this tree, it looks at least several thousand years old." Xu Qiong pointed to an ancient tree, her face showing amazement.

Looking up, I couldn't tell where the top of the ancient tree was; it seemed to soar into the clouds.

“Ancient texts record that immortals emerge from Kunlun. This is where immortals live. Perhaps we have entered a grotto-heaven. Immortals all have their own little worlds,” Ye Fan replied thoughtfully.

He took out his phone to make a call, but there was no signal at all.

“Immortals? How could there be immortals? We’ve received a modern education.” Xu Qiong didn’t believe it.

"Xiao Qiong, how do you explain climbing Kunlun Mountain without getting tired at all, walking for so long, and still having plenty of energy?" Ye Fan asked in return.

“I’m amazing, I’m exceptionally talented,” Xu Qiong said with a smile.

"Alright, Xiaoqiong is the best, but we may not be able to leave for now and can only explore further."

Ye Fan took Xu Qiong's hand, and the two stood close together, carefully looking around.

Soon, they discovered a medicinal field filled with spiritual herbs, including Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, and unknown fruits and immortal herbs!

These spiritual herbs emitted a faint halo and exuded a fragrance that made one's soul tremble. The halo seemed to be celestial light, and the surrounding area seemed to be evolving mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars, which was very strange.

"Ye Fan, am I seeing things? Why are these herbs and Ganoderma lucidum glowing? And this Ganoderma lucidum is huge, with an irresistible fragrance." Xu Qiong exclaimed, her pretty face flushed.

"I'm not seeing things. Based on my deduction, these Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal herbs are not ordinary. I don't know how long they have been growing."

"Especially this Ganoderma lucidum, it might be the legendary king of medicines, conservatively estimated to be at least 30,000 years old!" Ye Fan said, revealing an astonishing fact.

"What? Thirty thousand years!" Xu Qiong covered her mouth.

"Moreover, I feel that Kunlun is filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. These Ganoderma lucidum and medicinal herbs have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for thousands of years. This strange phenomenon may indicate that they have become spiritually connected, or even immortals."

Ye Fan took out his phone and recorded a video to save it.

He then put away his phone and approached a small Ganoderma lucidum that was exhibiting unusual phenomena. It was probably younger and had not yet developed any spiritual powers.

"Ye Fan, what are you trying to do?" Xu Qiong didn't understand Ye Fan's actions, why he was plucking the Ganoderma lucidum.
