Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Winter goes and spring comes.

It's that time of year again when all things revive.

Luo Chen was standing by the bamboo forest halfway up Linglu Peak, gazing at the sky. By the stream, Jiang Yingxue was painting with a serious expression on her face.

"What strange or unusual scenes did you dream about this time?"

Seeing her like this, Luo Chen was very curious.

Jiang Yingxue paused slightly while painting, then nodded and said, "This disciple believes that painting is also a form of cultivation, and I have not neglected it over the years. As for those strange scenes, they haven't appeared for a long time."

She continued painting on the canvas, glancing at Luo Chen every now and then.

I wonder what Master is looking at, or what's in the sky?

Jiang Yingxue looked up at the sky, where there was only white clouds and blue sky. She longed for her master's vision.

The sights that Master can see must surpass one's imagination.

I wish I could draw it.

Jiang Yingxue silently wondered to herself, "Could something big be happening in the Boundary Sea?"

Jiang Yingxue's guess was correct, except that what Luo Chen saw was not the Boundary Sea, but the outer universe.

Luo Chen saw a large number of Dragon Court cultivators setting up an array within the Hengdao Domain. The array was enormous and covered a vast area.

There were even two Great Luo Immortals among them, sitting cross-legged on the core of the formation, suppressing everything, their auras completely undisguised.

Someone is trying to break through!

Judging from this scene, it seems that the Dao Fruit Grand Luo is about to attempt to break through to the Hunyuan Dao Fruit!

The number of Dao Fruit Grand Luo cultivators in the Dragon Court is extremely limited. Apart from the fallen Xuan Tian Dao Zun, there is only the Holy Dragon Emperor and a Great Emperor who has been in seclusion.

Luo Chen was not familiar with these people and could not guess who wanted to attempt to break through to the Primordial Dao Fruit.

If we were to use causal deduction, it would take a lot of time. The Dragon Court has a vast fortune protecting causality. By the time he deduces who is preparing to break through, their grand formation might already be activated. There's no need for that.

In the entire Primordial World, there was only one Primordial Grand Luo Immortal, the Heavenly Lord.

If the Dragon Court succeeds this time...

Luo Chen clicked his tongue twice. The great martial arts competition had only ended twenty years ago, and now there would probably be another conflict.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at the peaceful world depicted in Jiang Yingxue's painting, and said, "Work hard in your cultivation, hone your alchemy skills, and don't be lazy."

After saying that, his figure disappeared at the edge of the bamboo forest.

Jiang Yingxue frowned slightly and muttered, "Why doesn't Master believe me? I really can gain insights into cultivation from paintings..."

the other side.

Luo Chen stepped into the Fourth Medicine Valley and stood under the peach tree. He turned and looked into the dense forest on one side of the valley.

The golden-haired monkey, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, once again took the token and entered the dense forest.

On the familiar bluestone, the golden-haired monkey carefully took out three spirit peaches from his bosom and respectfully placed them on it.

However, after years of traveling without stopping, the spiritual fruits on its body were picked casually and were not as plump and round as before.

Tap tap.

Two sets of footsteps approached from outside the dense forest.

The golden monkey, which was worshipping, twitched its ears, raised its head, and looked ahead with hope.

Until a young man in white came into view.

This was the first time the golden-haired monkey had seen Luo Chen's true form.

But it seemed as if fate had its own plan, for it did not hesitate at all, and put its hands together in a devout posture.

Because he couldn't speak, he gestured with his hands in front of him, seemingly worried that Luo Chen wouldn't understand, and was somewhat anxious.

Luo Chen looked down at it, his face expressionless, and asked, "Monkey, you've been disturbing my peaceful cultivation for twenty years now. I've moved, but you've come back again. Do you know what the consequences are for disturbing me?"

The golden monkey trembled, its eyes blazing with intense desire.

Seeing its anxious yet inability to express itself, Luo Chen thought for a moment, then casually sent out a beam of spiritual light, which landed in the golden-haired monkey's crown chakra.

A few breaths later, the golden monkey reached out and touched its throat, cautiously trying to speak. Suddenly, it did a somersault on the spot, and its voice became more and more fluent, as if it were born that way.

After the initial excitement subsided, my belief grew even stronger, and I cautiously asked, "Are you... a deity?"

When he spoke, his voice sounded like that of a young boy, with a hint of hesitation.

Luo Chen shook his head and said calmly, "I'm not a god or immortal. It seems you've come to the wrong person!"

"Immortal... no, senior, I haven't chosen the wrong person. Could you please accept me? I'm willing to serve you forever, as long as you teach me divine powers and magic..."

"...I am very strong and can help you manage the medicinal herb fields, cultivate the land, or you can take me in as a handyman disciple."

Seeing that Luo Chen was about to refuse, the golden-haired monkey panicked completely.

Even though Luo Chen said he wasn't a god, he could speak human language with ease, a skill he had never seen in his more than five thousand years of apprenticeship.

As he spoke, the golden-haired monkey tugged at Luo Chen's clothes with both hands, its tone aggrieved.

Why should I take you in?

"Disciple...Disciple has sought immortality for five thousand years, and has never seen an existence like you...Disciple begs you to accept me..."

"With your strength, you're more than capable of ruling over a mountain forest, becoming a king, and living a carefree life. Why bother coming here to be a menial disciple?"

"Being a king of the mountain is not true happiness, nor is being a king and a tyrant true freedom. I want to become an immortal god, to be truly free and at ease."

The golden monkey's eyes shone brightly, as if radiating golden light, and as it spoke, it carried an undisguised longing.

"Become a god? You'd better perform well first!"

Luo Chen chuckled lightly. Was this the fearlessness of the ignorant, or a manifestation of a steadfast Dao heart?

A brilliant idea struck the golden-haired monkey, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Master, you're willing to accept me as your disciple!"

Luo Chen casually tossed the peach pit he had finished eating into the center of the medicine valley. In the blink of an eye, a tender sprout broke through the soil and grew wildly, eventually becoming the same size as the first peach tree thirty years ago.

He walked into the valley with his hands behind his back, saying as he went.

"I ate two of your spirit peaches. The first time was because you thanked me for saving you. I ate one of your spirit peaches to even things out."

"I never expected you, you little monkey, to be so persistent..."

Upon hearing this, the golden-haired monkey chuckled and scratched the back of its head, following closely behind Luo Chen without saying a word.

"As for the second one I ate, consider it your apprenticeship gift. But let me make this clear beforehand: if you cause any trouble in the future, don't try to use my name!"

The golden monkey listened intently, its eyes growing brighter.

The man and the monkey entered the Medicine Valley. Luo Chen gave the monkey a deep look before introducing it to the situation of the Fourth Medicine Valley.

This also allows the other disciples in the valley to get to know the new member.

After explaining everything, Luo Chen began to pick medicinal herbs himself, while the other disciples took the monkeys to familiarize themselves with the environment.

The monkey has a special physique, and he currently has no cultivation techniques to pass on to it. He can only teach it the cultivation method after some time has passed.

After harvesting this year's mature herbs, Luo Chen's lifespan has exceeded 22 billion years!

Then he returned to the Starfall Ancient Realm.

The golden monkey stood under the peach tree, watching its master leave, appearing extremely excited.

Having lived for over eight thousand years, for the first five thousand years he sought immortality and visited countless caves and secret realms, but ultimately failed to find the method of cultivation.

After more than three thousand years of wandering in the mountains and forests, he finally got his wish and met the true immortals!
