The Mysterious Immortal, the Everlasting Lamp

Wen Yuliang gazed quietly at Lu Wenze.

Faced with Lu Wenze's analysis, he had already resigned himself to his fate.

"Junior brother, you are the youngest, but I never expected that you would be the wisest among us disciples."

Wen Yuliang exclaimed in admiration.

The sadness and other complex emotions on his face vanished without a trace.

He is as deep as an abyss, as still as water, and as cold as ice.

The sentimental senior brother from just now is gradually turning into a cold, emotionless stone.

"I had doubts in my heart. Although I used the Taoist temple's methods to sever my desires and sever the cause and effect, I still could not find peace of mind or resolve my doubts. My junior brother, however, resolved my doubts in just a few words, truly making my mind free of thoughts and desires."

"As the saying goes, the bystander sees most of the game."

"What a pity, what a pity."

They're all dead.

Wen Yuliang spoke his heart out word by word, but at that moment Lu Wenze felt that his heart was undergoing a complete transformation.

"Senior brother, is the Shadow of the Dao unavoidable?"

The dead are dead.

Lu Wenze's relationship with his other senior brothers was not particularly deep.

After listening to his senior brother's words, he suddenly realized that the things that his master and fellow senior brothers had to face would also happen to him in the future.

"The cause of the Dao Demon Shadow is not entirely due to people, and the tragic ending may not necessarily occur."

"There is more than one way to understand cause and effect."

Wen Yuliang said blankly, his pale face radiating a precious light, and an extremely powerful force erupted from his Dao Dan.

Coldness and indifference.

Lu Wenze's soul became exceptionally powerful after consuming the pure divine energy, and he could sense that his senior brother was releasing a very special fluctuation.

This special fluctuation also exists in Dao Moying.

It just doesn't manifest like the Demon Shadow.

"But I can tell you that the Dao Academy's Three Thousand Dao Patterns Locking the Core Body is absolutely the most perfect method for advancing in Dao Core cultivation."

Lu Wenze's eyes brightened slightly.

The more alarmed he became about this perilous path of cultivation, the more he wanted to understand it.

"When your cultivation reaches a sufficiently high level, you will understand just how great the existence of the Demonic Shadow truly is!"

"I'm leaving."

"Leave the Fire Dragon Academy to pursue the path of immortality."

"As someone who's been there,"

"You are now my only junior brother. Master will not take on any more disciples. He has achieved his goal."

"I'll say this to you on behalf of the teacher."

"The Fire Dragon Academy is the best sanctuary for cultivation."

"But you must remember, the path of spiritual cultivation is selfish."

"I cannot be extremely selfish; this is my nature, and I cannot change it. The only way I can do this is to use the Dao Heart Advancement at this moment, with a mind free of distractions, and use the Emotionless Immortal Technique to completely sever the root of desire."

Wen Yuliang waved his hand, signaling Lu Wenze to leave.

There was no longer any emotion in his eyes.

Lu Wenze remained silent.

He had many questions he wanted to answer from his senior brother.

At this moment, Lu Wenze had seen through his senior brother's true nature.

Only the eldest brother could say those words to him.

However, these words, full of human warmth, are far too dangerous for those who cultivate the Fire Dragon Academy.

Lu Wenze stepped out of his senior brother's room.

At that moment, he was filled with confusion.

Having traveled for half a year and inherited the memories of the original owner, he now realizes that this world is completely unfamiliar to him.

Although he had entered the Dao, he was still completely ignorant about the path to immortality.

This road doesn't seem to be as easy as I've imagined.

The path to immortality is cruel, but not in the way he understood it—a cruel struggle for resources.

Wen Yuliang told him many things about his master, about himself, and about Dao Moying.

However, Lu Wenze did not internalize the worldview he had formed by acquiring more information.

"Master has succeeded."

"The eldest brother has succeeded."

The image of his master appeared in Lu Wenze's mind.

From his senior brother's words, Lu Wenze seemed to see his master's invisible hand controlling everything.

Lu Wenze gritted his teeth, turned around and walked back to the house in the courtyard.

"Master, I have a question."

Lu Wenze knelt before the door where his master was in seclusion.

"My disciple, I am too strong."

Just as Lu Wenze knelt down and lowered his head, a large hand pressed down on his head.

Lu Wenze's head was held down, and he was unable to move.

His master was already standing silently in front of him.

Lu Wenze only saw his master, True Man Chi Huo's, feet.

"When I was bathed in the lightning tribulation, my primordial spirit fused with my body, and my soul and flesh became one, transforming me into this mortal immortal. I thought I could attain great freedom and ease, soar through the nine heavens, and truly stand alongside the immortals and gods above the heavens."

"Reaching the pinnacle, only to find that you've taken the wrong path."

"The only way is to turn around and enter the cycle of reincarnation, returning to the Fire Dragon Academy."

"Unfortunately, I underestimated myself as I was reinventing myself with my innate wisdom."

"He overestimated all his disciples."

"Therefore, none of them can become the whetstone for me to overcome my demons."

Lu Wenze felt a powerful warm current coming from the top of his head.

"I poured my heart and soul into nurturing you, my senior brother, to become the strongest Dao Embryo Realm being."

The master's voice was tinged with regret.

"How hateful! Even after reincarnation, there is always a veil of mist that obscures my eyes."

"When demonic obstacles are circumvented by others, even the strongest in this realm may be fortunate enough to have their demonic obstacles removed by others. However, this is a way to escape."

"The moment the demonic shadow that had been born in my heart was annihilated, I finally glimpsed a sliver of the true meaning of understanding this distorted world."

Only by strengthening ourselves can we move forward.

"Since demonic obstacles can be born, they should be eliminated by one's own hands. This is the strongest way, and the true path to achieving a state of purity and cleanliness for one's Dao heart and Dao elixir."

"I will pass on this sliver of truth to you."

"If you succeed in the future, I hope you can lend your master a hand on the other side of the river and help him cross to the other side."

"After all, your soul is an anomaly."

Lu Wenze had a new piece of information in his mind.

But at that moment, he saw his master's feet transform into light and shadow.

Suddenly looking up, I saw my master appear as if he were an ancient immortal ascending to heaven. In a daze, my master's dignity seemed to merge with that of the ancestral master.

Lu Wenze stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

It was too sudden.

Reincarnation?

To ascend to immortality and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation?

Seeking that one sliver of ultimate truth within the cycle of reincarnation?

As the master ascended to immortality, a phantom image of a fire dragon from the Fire Dragon Academy pierced the sky and vanished without a trace.

this......

Lu Wenze ignored the extra information in his mind.

Then we see that the gates of Master's seclusion are wide open.

There was no sign of life inside the house.

He stood up and rushed into his master's secluded retreat area.

They searched for their master's whereabouts inside the house.

The vast Taoist residence was completely deserted!

Are they all riddle solvers?

"What is all this nonsense?"

The eldest disciple is leaving the Fire Dragon Academy.

The other senior brothers are already dead.

Master has ascended to immortality?

The largest force in the entire Fire Dragon Academy vanished within three days?

Am I a left-behind child?

But I am just a novice cultivator who has just entered the first stage of the Dao Embryo realm.

You want me to stand on the other side of the river and ferry you across in the future?

Holy crap!!

Lu Wenze blurted out, making no attempt to hide his inner collapse.

"So I'm superfluous?!"

The fire dragon that pierced the sky attracted the attention of many people from the Fire Dragon Academy.

The master's aura disappeared within Courtyard No. 2 without attracting the attention of others.

Lu Wenze sat in the armchair where his master usually sat, lost in thought.

He remained silent for a long time before standing up and beginning to search the room for supplies.

Now, his thought is, "My master has passed away. As his only disciple at the Fire Dragon Academy, it's not unreasonable for me to inherit his legacy, is it?"
