The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

Chapter 23 The Legend of the Immortals, Guangliang and Biqing!?

"Wow... Daoji really managed to summon the Bodhisattva from heaven? That's amazing!"

"And that Bodhisattva, his power is truly incredible!"

"With just a light flick of the wrist, *smack*, that Underworld Lord was sent flying that far!"

"And it looks like it was just a casual wave from the other party... I really don't know what to say!"

Meanwhile, as Li Xiuyuan and his fellow disciple Weituo Bodhisattva recognized each other, Lei Wujie, Xiao Se, and Tang Lian were also forced back by Weituo Bodhisattva's "terrifying" gaze. In the end, they gathered together at a distance from the two of them.

Xiao Se and Tang Lian were still not quite recovered, or rather, they each had their own thoughts and were still thinking.

Only Lei Wujie, that carefree and simple-minded fool, was completely unaffected. He grinned foolishly while staring with shining eyes at the majestic and imposing Bodhisattva Weituo in his golden armor.

“You said it’s a Bodhisattva, so its strength must be very strong.”

"As for whether it really comes from the heavens or from myths and legends, well... we've never seen it, so it's hard to judge."

"But I have heard that there are indeed immortals in this world?"

Tang Lian continued speaking, following up on Lei Wujie's words.

"Huh? An immortal!?"

"No way, do immortals really exist in this world? I always thought immortals and bodhisattvas were just legends!"

"If that's the case, Senior Brother, since there are already immortals, could the person next to Daoji also be a true Bodhisattva?"

Lei Wujie's mouth was wide open, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, his curiosity completely piqued.

He subconsciously looked at Xiao Se, hoping to get a definite answer from him.

It's not that he doesn't trust his senior brother, but mainly because, although he and Xiao Se have only spent less than a day together, the other party has already begun to demonstrate the power of a "jianghu encyclopedia" along the way.

This gave Lei Wujie the illusion that if there was anything he didn't understand, he could just ask him!

He definitely understands!

Well... it's now certain that the answer to whether Xiao Se understands everything is no.

After all, he had no idea what mysteries lay behind Daoji and Lingyin Temple.

But now, Lei Wujie is asking about immortals, specifically the immortals Tang Lian mentioned, so he does know a little about them!

"If it only possesses the basic characteristics of an immortal."

"For example, if someone is ageless and powerful, then the immortals that Tang Lian mentioned might really exist."

Xiao Se noticed Lei Wujie's expectant gaze, and after a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke.

"Tang Lian's master is Baili Dongjun, the Great City Lord of Snow Moon City! According to the information he has provided."

"More than a decade ago, when the Demonic Cult launched a massive invasion, my country was in grave danger, and I was far from the martial world."

"It was only with the guidance and skills passed down by the immortal that Baili Dongjun was able to turn the tide in the end."

"It was around that time."

"The rumors of immortals in the world have reached their peak, and the strength level that was originally called 'Great Freedom Realm' above the peak of the Freedom Heaven Realm has been renamed 'Immortal'!"

"That is, the kind of beings we have now, like sword immortals and gun immortals."

"But... if you ask me, I think that gods, immortals, and bodhisattvas do not exist."

Xiao Se's tone suddenly changed, causing Lei Wujie, who had been nodding along, to fall silent.

"Huh? But isn't that the truth? Even the great city lord of Snowmoon City said it himself!"

"It was because I received guidance from the immortals that I was able to turn the tide in such a difficult situation!"

Lei Wujie pretended to recall something and responded with a slight frown.

Xiao Se was not annoyed by this scene, but continued to speak according to his own understanding.

"I'm not saying that Baili Dongjun didn't receive guidance back then. What I mean is that the person who gave him that guidance might not have been an immortal!"

"Perhaps that realm hasn't appeared for too long?"

"Many people have forgotten that above the Realm of Freedom, there is not just one Great Realm of Freedom!"

"Those are not real realms, and one's strength has not improved qualitatively, so naturally they cannot be called the end of martial arts!"

"Above the Realm of Freedom and Unfettered Heaven... there is actually another realm where one can also achieve the so-called ageless appearance and profound strength!"

"That is, the Divine Journey to the Mystic Realm!"

As Xiao Se finished speaking, he glanced at Wei Tuo, who was standing next to Dao Ji, a fleeting, enigmatic look passing through his eyes.

"So you're saying that the immortal who guided that great city lord was actually a reclusive senior who traveled to the mystical realm?"

"This... Although I've never met that senior immortal, haven't we just witnessed a similar being?"

"That's the Bodhisattva Weituo! We saw with our own eyes that he was transformed from a stone!"

"Is this a level that ordinary martial artists can reach?"

Lei Wujie's words had barely left his mouth when Xiao Se used the characteristics of the Divine Travel Mystic Realm to suppress them.

"The realm of divine travel is itself extremely mysterious, although I have never witnessed a true divine travel realm."

"However, one ability has been made public: those who reach the Divine Travel Realm can sit quietly with their eyes closed and let their thoughts roam freely for thousands of miles!"

"This means that once one's cultivation reaches the Divine Travel Realm, it is possible to instantly send a combat-capable clone across tens of thousands of miles!"

"Isn't this similar to the sudden appearance of the 'Bodhisattva Weituo'?"

"Of course, what I have said above is just my own opinion. If there are really gods and Buddhas above, please forgive me for being innocent."

"At least... don't secretly diminish my fortune!"

Xiao Se concluded his analysis with a joking remark.

On the other hand, Lei Wujie and Tang Lian, who were standing to the side, were quite rational. Tang Lian accepted Xiao Se's reasonable explanation.

However, Lei Wujie is different from Tang Lian; he is a sentimental person.

In addition, he has a keen mind and a direct sense of many things!

He didn't know why, but he just felt that the Bodhisattva Weituo was really a heavenly deity!

He had this feeling from the moment the other person began to recover; it felt like a god had descended to earth!

Of course, everything has two sides. Although Lei Wujie is mostly emotional, he also has a rational side.

He did agree with Xiao Se; at least he had temporarily put his brain back on while the other person was explaining, otherwise he wouldn't have raised his objections halfway through.

Well... but then again, is it really necessary to figure out the truth of these things so clearly?

This is also why Lei Wujie didn't press the matter further after Xiao Se ended the conversation.

In his view, all he needed to know was that Daoji was awesome and Weituo Bodhisattva was awesome!

Lei Wujie thought this to himself, a smile on his face, looking quite pleased with himself.

What he didn't know was that at the same time, Xiao Se, who was standing next to him, had almost the same idea!

In Xiao Se's view, regardless of whether the Bodhisattva Weituo was a divine traveler in the mystical realm, a half-step divine traveler relying on the array medium (stone statue) to achieve power, or whether the other party was a true celestial being, all of these things showed that the seemingly crazy, well... actually crazy guy was really not simple...

…………

"So that's how it is. So you were dragged down by those fat and thin fairy boys again, and were called down by Buddha to continue your trials."

"Although I don't know the specific reason, the fact that you were able to get down is reasonable in itself."

"It seems the Buddha really values ​​you, Dragon Subduer!"

On the other hand, after Li Xiuyuan's elaborate scheme, he finally managed to fool the Bodhisattva Weituo.

He had a reasonable explanation for his identity and the reason why he came down to earth.

Only by doing this can he be exempted from the Ten Commandments, isn't that right?

After all... descending to the mortal realm without permission is far more serious than drinking alcohol and eating meat!

Yes, even if the current Bodhisattva Weituo is actually a manifestation of the imagined concepts he gathers from people.

But as mentioned before, as long as he still exists, the other party is the Bodhisattva Weituo of this world, his senior brother.

If his senior brother suddenly decides to personally apply the precepts to him, then he'll have no choice but to accept it...

"By the way, Jianglong, you still haven't told me why you called me out. Is there some enemy you can't handle right now?"

"But... with your strength, even if you've only recently awakened, you should be invincible in this mortal realm, right?"

"No, I seem to sense an aura along the East China Sea coast that is no weaker than yours right now."

"But he is so far away from you, and his cultivation level is only half-immortal, and the energy in his body is still that kind of internal force."

"This is far from your magical power! If it really came down to a fight, you couldn't possibly lose, could you?"

"So...wait!"

"You didn't really call me out to treat and save lives, did you?"

Since recognizing Li Xiuyuan as his fellow disciple, the two have been of equal status. In fact, Li Xiuyuan has already severed his ties with the world seven lifetimes. Even though Li Xiuyuan calls him "senior brother," in reality, Li Xiuyuan is far inferior to Li Xiuyuan in terms of status and strength (at his peak).

Therefore, our Bodhisattva Weituo stopped pretending to be aloof and started addressing us as "I" repeatedly.

He's very down-to-earth now; his tone and everything else make him seem very ordinary and relatable.

After all... he was "created" by mortals, so naturally he understands these things.

"Enemies? I don't have any enemies I can't defeat now."

"Or rather, that enemy... wasn't he just sent flying far away by you?"

Li Xiuyuan's cheerful response surprised the Bodhisattva Weituo.

He wondered, when did he suddenly send the enemy flying so far away?

"Just now! When you first appeared, that white-haired guy tried to kill me! It was terrifying!"

Li Xiuyuan winked and pointed in the direction where Minghou had been sent flying backward.

The Bodhisattva Weituo was speechless.

No, are you crazy or is he crazy?
