I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 122: Destiny to practice Taoism
In an instant.

The four people perceived the images captured by the instrument.

They glimpsed the entire ruined landscape of the Earthly Realm, where there were no magnificent palaces, no auspicious beasts or clouds, and not even any plants or living beings.

A void space, with only wisps of misty gas drifting by, not even the ruins of celestial architecture remain.

There was only an old man with a semi-transparent body guarding a large bronze cauldron. The charcoal fire beneath the cauldron was almost extinguished, and a white stone was being boiled inside.

While boiling stones, the immortal chanted incantations for alchemy, learning from Confucianism how to verify the inner from the outer, and how to see the illusory inner elixir through the method of external alchemy.

As time passed, it seemed to have eroded the intelligence of this ascended being, leaving him completely unaware of the four people appearing in his spiritual realm.

"........."

Chen Jing scrutinized the Stone-Boiling Immortal and asked curiously, "Is this an immortal? In this desolate environment, longevity seems to have no meaning whatsoever."

Yao Jing explained: "If the Heavenly Realm were complete, in addition to those who ascended, there would also be guides, mountains, rivers, plants and trees, just like a paradise."

"When one attains enlightenment, even one's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." The chickens and dogs refer to those who guide others. Although they cannot live forever, they can enjoy a long life in the afterlife after their lifespan in the mortal world ends.

Fang Xin said, "He did not notice our spying. It seems that with the passage of time, this immortal's consciousness has fallen into chaos."

A burning glint flashed in Lai Ming's eyes as he suggested, "This is a rare opportunity. Why don't we take a look at this Stone-Boiling Immortal and witness the demeanor of an ancient immortal?"

Test!

Provoking the immortals in the netherworld.

The spiritual realm carries the risk of brain death, but the risks in the mental world are even greater.

Even if it's just a thought entering the Earthly Realm, an immortal can still attack the physical soul through their consciousness.

As time goes by, the immortal's brain must have gone mad!
Only one person, one cauldron, and one campfire remain in Di Luotian. The divine power he can wield is also extremely weak. It is worth taking a risk.

Attacking an immortal is undoubtedly a suicidal act, but as long as one wants to continue cultivating, this risk is unavoidable. Having a weak immortal to give one a heads-up is something one shouldn't miss.

Chen Jing and the other two exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously: "Agreed!"

"........."

In an instant.

The four of them maintained their login status in the Yuan Realm on their own, and a thought entered the Earthly Luo Heaven.

Chen Jing's body was a thick fog. He turned his head to look at Yao Jing and the other two. Lai Ming's body was no different from that of a living person in the real world, and Yao Jing and Fang Xin were also blurry human figures.

Lai Ming has already cultivated to the second realm of primordial spirit. Fang Xin is not following the path of primordial spirit, but is only one step away from the second realm. Yao Jing is a Qi cultivator, but she has also entered the Dao of Divine Cultivation.

Only Chen Jingming has not yet entered the Dao, formed the Dao embryo and stepped into the first realm. As a fellow practitioner, I feel somewhat ashamed.

Immediately, he formed a lotus shape with his hands, entered a meditative state, visualized the lotus in his heart, felt the invisible barrier touched by the seed of Tao, and shouted in a low voice: "Break!"

In an instant, the golden lotus seed of the Heart Lotus completely lost its radiance, transforming into an embryo capable of nurturing life.

The spirit that was wandering in the sea of ​​consciousness was slowly being injected into the lotus seed embryo, nourishing the Dao embryo as it grew and developed little by little.

The bottleneck to the upper limit of divinity was broken. As the River Chariot slowly increased its power, it entered the spiritual world of the Earthly Luo Heaven again, and its misty body transformed into a blurry human figure.

"........."

The Taoist priest's hunger was like a leaky roof; he used five colors to mend his body and extend his lifespan...

The old man kept repeating the "Song of Boiling Stones," and Chen Jing and the other three suddenly woke up as they approached, his cloudy eyes looking at them.

A look of confusion flashed in his eyes: "An Ascended One? Not an Ascended One. Rather than going mad in this loneliness, I might as well enter this cauldron."

As he finished speaking, the surrounding misty gas gathered, and a withered hand condensed in the sky, splitting into four black streams of light that attacked the four people.

"Jingle Bell!!"

A strange bell sound emanated from Fang Xin's location. A tiger spirit, a wolf spirit, and an eagle spirit materialized from the ethereal form and charged towards the Stone-Boiling Immortal. [Fire!]

A Bagua formation appeared beneath Lai Ming's feet, and his spirit merged into the fire position of the formation.

The art of Qimen Dunjia is extremely suitable for the spiritual world, and it can even ignite flames out of thin air in the void, just like the scorching sun baking the heavens and the earth.

[Golden Light Mantra!]

Yao Jing's aura reached its perfect state, transforming into a layer of golden light covering her body, forming a barrier against external harm.

[Heart Imprint - Bi'an.]

Behind Chen Jing, a strange beast burning with transparent flames appeared, letting out a low roar as it pounced on the black light attacking from the sky.

"clang!!"

The Stone-Boiling Immortal seemed extremely close, yet also as far away as the ends of the earth; all attacks were utterly ineffective against him.

The bronze cauldron trembled inexplicably, producing a muffled sound like a bronze bell. Invisible ripples spread out, and all forms of Dharma were shattered, turning into wisps of mist that merged into the white stone inside the cauldron.

The descending black light was completely untouchable, bypassing all barriers and descending directly.

【quit!】

The four people wanted to leave the Heavenly Realm, but a force from the Earthly Realm resisted them. Invisible chains bound their thoughts, making it impossible for them to leave the Earthly Realm.

As the light fell, it also affected the physical body in the mortal realm, as if the body was tightly bound by ropes.

“Manifestation of the miasma.”

In the real world, cultivators who manifest their divine powers need to break free from the constraints of their own bodies and overcome the barriers imposed by others.

However, for immortals without physical bodies, they are no longer bound by any constraints, and when faced with cultivators who actively lower their barriers, they are naturally able to manifest their divine power.

Just listen to "bang".

The four were captured and placed inside a bronze cauldron, where they were roasted over charcoal fires and boiled in boiling water.

The Earthly Heaven is the Daoist temple of the Stone-Boiling Immortal. He is omnipotent and omnipresent, but all four of them have physical bodies as their foundation. How could a single divine thought shake them?

Lai Ming carefully examined the water and found that it did not affect him at all; his skin only turned slightly red.

He paused for a moment and then said, "We can't beat them at all. The immortal is completely invincible within the dojo, but the gods he controls are not enough to shake us."

"Do not release the gods to nourish the Earthly Net Heaven; let us simultaneously withdraw from the Earthly Net Heaven and break free from its constraints."

Since the binding force of the Earthly Net Heaven was limited, the four people chose to withdraw at the same time, and their consciousness successfully returned to reality.

"........."

"call!!"

Lai Ming let out a long sigh, rubbed his temples, and showed no interest in talking.

They took out another set of sky-catching equipment, which was similar in appearance to the primordial capsule. Its core was only the size of two adult palms, and inside was a perfectly round stone egg.

After adjusting the Qimen formation arranged around the white stone in the cold pool, and fiddling with it for another ten minutes, the formation became even more complex.

The moment the instrument was activated, the three of them once again glimpsed a mental illusion: a void space was gradually encroaching upon the heavens and earth.

"It will only take one hour for the Yuan Realm to swallow up the Earthly Luo Heaven."

In the Heavenly Realm, the old man who boils stones is an omnipotent immortal, but in the real world, the Heavenly Realm is nothing more than a stone.

Fang Xin examined the white stone in the cold pool and said, "The spirit stone is mine. I want to use it to carve a statue of an outer god."
