From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 611 Arrival at the Realm of Ultimate Truth

"Do you think Master really came back to life? And in this godforsaken place?"

On the exposed rocks of Kunlun Mountain, three young people walked side by side. One had silver hair, one had one arm, and the other had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were filled with gray-white lightning.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing. It's because Feng Yun is too good at keeping secrets. He can easily get a lot of information out of us with a simple trick, but he doesn't know the master's exact whereabouts either."

"Sigh, Master really thinks we're fools..."

Li Ling'er shook her head and smiled wryly. She exchanged a glance with Wang Shuhuan and Liu Ming, but her expression revealed a hint of surprise and excitement.

The three boys have now grown into powerful individuals capable of standing on their own. Together, they stand at the top of the elite pyramid on Earth.

Liu Ming gleaned information about his master from Feng Yun through subtle means, and then arranged to meet Wang Shuhuan and Li Ling'er to verify Li Yang's true situation.

The sky over the Kunlun Mountains remained dark, and the mountains were barren, with not a single tree in sight.

"Don't you guys feel like something's off about the atmosphere up here on the mountain?"

Liu Ming, acting strangely, turned to Wang Shuhuan and Li Ling'er and winked at them.

"Nonsense, do you even need to tell me that?!"

Li Ling'er rolled her eyes at Liu Ming, then pointed to the sky.

"Anyone would know this is abnormal, okay?"

Following the direction Li Ling'er pointed, several shapeless gray clouds in the sky above Kunlun Mountain quietly gathered, piled up, and surged up, their color rapidly changing from gray to black, as if splashed with thick black ink.

The clouds grew thicker and thicker, pressing heavily down on the mountaintop.

There was not a breath of wind, yet the enormous cloud was silently churning, squeezing, and battling violently, its interior faintly revealing a chilling pale white and dark red, as if thousands of invisible giant beasts were roaring and colliding deep within the sea of ​​clouds, an immense and unparalleled pressure pressing down as if it were a tangible reality.

"We...it seems we're already too late..."

Wang Shuhuan looked at the celestial phenomena and was inexplicably shocked.

They couldn't see the space hidden by the formation, but they could sense a chilling energy rising above Kunlun Mountain.

Ode!
Ode!
Ode!
The three of them soared into the sky, leaping into the inky clouds, desperately trying to sense something.
"master!"

Their clothes were damp with mist, their hair was torn by the wind, and they weaved through the clouds, shouting, before disappearing again.

Li Ling'er, born with the Kunlun embryo, was the first to sense the transparent and ethereal wall that stretched between heaven and earth.

"Master, are you inside?"

"Why have you refused to see us since you woke up?"

Li Ling'er stretched out his hand, feeling the flow of cloud energy at his fingertips. He, who always presented himself as a cold and aloof sword immortal, was now like a child who couldn't find his way home.

Wang Shuhuan and Liu Ming quickly gathered around, standing silently beside Li Ling'er.
They also sensed the existence of the wall, but they didn't have all the keys and couldn't open it.

Li Ling'er's senses were the strongest. Although she couldn't touch it, she could sense a vast and powerful aura rising behind the wall, then stretching out like a shooting star towards an unknown distance.

"Is it because we are still too weak? We don't even have the qualifications to fight alongside you, Master..."

"But we are clearly doing our best to grow and cultivate."

"Won't I even get to see my master one last time?"

Wang Shuhuan stood amidst the thick clouds, his head bowed.

"Master, let's go."

Sensing that the rising aura of the world behind the wall was slowly fading and cooling down, Li Ling'er slowly withdrew her right hand, her expression forlorn.

Li Yang left, completely departing from Earth and heading to another world.

"Don't worry, we will see our master again."

"If the path of cultivation fails, then become a human immortal; if becoming a human immortal fails, then become a celestial immortal... One day, Master will no longer have to fight alone!"

The thick clouds around me were dissipating, and the turbulent energy between heaven and earth was slowly returning to calm.

Liu Ming tossed his full head of white hair, patted Wang Shuhuan and Li Ling'er on the shoulders, and forced himself to speak in a light tone, but his own eyes were also glistening with tears.
-
The light, a dazzling and intense white light, instantly engulfed Li Yang's entire world, carrying him to an endless distance.

Through the blur, Li Yang's vision was continuously elevated, and he saw the three disciples outside the wall, the entire Kunlun Mountain, and even the whole of China and Blue Star.

It was a crystal-blue planet. In the end, the blue planet became a tiny dot in our vision. The world lost its outline in the absolute light, leaving only pure incandescence and nothingness.

Then came a sound—a deafening roar as if the hardest bones deep within the earth were being snapped and crushed by immense force! This sound, carrying a destructive low frequency, violently assaulted Li Yang's eardrums, chest cavity, and bones, shaking his very soul.

The ancient path was opened by the Ji Sword after it was reforged from the Great Abyss Sword. However, there were hidden dangers that Li Yang could not imagine. As a result, the entire ancient path was not solid and was about to collapse. The violent and terrifying power outside the ancient path was destroying everything Li Yang had. Li Yang could only grit his teeth and unhesitatingly add the Golden Light Mantra and all the protective and path-protecting divine powers among the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Divine Powers.

He didn't know how much time had passed. Li Yang's consciousness gradually blurred during the long struggle against the outside world, and the spiritual energy in his dantian and the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows was gradually being depleted.

"Fortunately, I had a good time replenishing my energy on Fangzhang Mountain, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have even seen the Ultimate Realm before dying on the way..."

"Those three rascals, Liu Ming, don't be stupid enough to open the ancient path..."

With a final thought flashing through his mind, in the world filled with white light, Li Yang's consciousness completely slipped into unconsciousness...
-
The pain was indescribable, as if ants were gnawing and tearing at my flesh and bones, and countless rusty, dull knives were cutting into my flesh.

Immediately following was the feeling of sinking into the deep sea, falling, falling continuously, losing all light and sound, darkness, deathly silence, unable to even utter a single cry.

Then, the sudden feeling of weightlessness ended, and my body felt as if it were bound, my hands and feet were difficult to move, as if I were trapped in a tiny, dark coffin, the last bit of air was exhausted, and I gradually fell into a desperate feeling of suffocation.

Just as the last rise and fall in his chest was about to cease, Li Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

"The immortal has awakened!"

A shout, clearly tense and uneasy, rang out, filled with indescribable fear, followed by the sound of a heavy object overturning, and the tense conversations of countless people.

Li Yang's gaze began to focus, his nasal cavity filled with an unimaginable stench that made his entire nasal cavity ache, like the smell of rotting Chinese herbal medicine.

Li Yang quickly understood what that uncomfortable feeling of restraint was all about. His body was bound tightly with numbness, like a mummy, with only his head sticking out.

I was lying on something like a kang (a heated brick bed) in a simple wooden hut with poor lighting. Inside, a group of people dressed in coarse linen clothes, their faces covered in dust, were looking at me nervously, but they were several meters away. As my gaze swept over them, they all shrank back, almost huddled together.

"Immortal, you're awake?"

An elderly man with white hair stepped forward with a forced smile on his face.

"Um"

Li Yang nodded, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. The words the old man had just spoken to him did not belong to any language he knew about Blue Star, but rather to the language system he had learned during Tianyi's soul search.

"Is this... the Realm of Ultimate Truth?"

With a little effort, Li Yang broke the burlap sack binding his body, and then sat cross-legged.

However, this action frightened the people in the house. The younger children began to cry incessantly, but their mouths were quickly covered by the adults.

Some people couldn't help but collapse to the ground, their legs giving way, and a foul-smelling yellow liquid flowed from their groin.

This doesn't resemble the awe and fear that mortals feel when encountering immortals; rather, it's more like the fear and despair of facing a jackal or tiger.

“Grandpa Immortal, Erniu found you in the river on the mountain. We carried you to the village to treat you, and used up all the herbs in the village.”

An elderly man with gray hair dragged a girl dressed in straw sandals and covered in black dirt in front of Li Yang. The girl's eyes were red and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

Li Yang noticed that the girl had a limp in her right leg, and her body walked with an uneven gait.

"You pulled me out of the river and brought me to the village, which is a connection between us. I am fair in rewarding and punishing, and I will not treat you unfairly."

Li Yang spoke, his words fluent in the language of the Ultimate Realm.

With his right index finger extended, the tip radiating a holy golden light, he gently touched Erniu's brow.

Erniu, however, seemed to be experiencing the most desperate thing in the world. She clenched her teeth tightly, her body trembling like a leaf, and looked desperately at the villagers behind her, but dared not move an inch.

Erniu closed her eyes in despair, but the expected pain and death did not come. Instead, as the immortal's finger touched her brow, she felt an unusual comfort all over her body.

It's like the feeling of sunshine on your body every spring.

Opening her eyes, Erniu's rough, dark face was filled with disbelief.

"Try walking a couple of steps."

Li Yang extended his finger and smiled faintly.

"Okay, thank you... thank you, immortal."

Erniu's face lit up with uncontrollable elation, as if she had survived a catastrophe. When she took a steady step, her eyes shone with an incredibly bright light.
"My leg, my leg is healed!!!"

Erniu walked around the room happily, jumping and skipping like a child who had just learned to walk.

This strange sight left the other villagers in the house looking at each other in bewilderment, none of them daring to utter a sound.

Then, Li Yang looked at them.
"Although I am unconscious, I can still sense some things happening around me."

"This girl saved me, and I will naturally repay her. I am also aware of what you have done to me."

Li Yang sat cross-legged on the stone bed with a calm expression.

"Gods, spare me! Gods, spare me!!!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers opposite turned pale instantly, their faces turning ashen. They knelt on the ground in a flurry, shouting and kowtowing violently, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Some villagers even fainted.

Erniu, whose limp had just been cured by Li Yang, stood frozen in place, her face filled with fear, and dared not move again.

Li Yang did not call a halt, but stared expressionlessly at the villagers kowtowing until their heads were bleeding.

These villagers were not his saviors; on the contrary, they had been trying various methods to kill him before he woke up.

Blunt knives, axes, all the poisonous herbs within their knowledge, strangulation, drowning... These powerless mortals are doing everything they can to kill a severely wounded immortal, clumsily using every means at their disposal.

Although these methods were insufficient to harm Li Yang's powerful physique, they did delay his awakening to some extent.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of his forehead hitting the ground was dull and heavy, echoing continuously in the small space.

Some elderly people started to have their heads bleeding, but even though their faces were covered in blood, they still dared not stop. They used all their strength with each strike, for fear of angering Li Yang again.

Only after a villager fainted from exhaustion did Li Yang wave his hand, signaling the villagers to stop their self-harm.

But Li Yang didn't let the villagers get up. He needed to establish his authority and gain a foothold in this world, even if it was in a way he didn't like.

"Your name is Erniu, right? Show me around your village."

Li Yang stood up and looked at the dark-skinned girl who was the only one standing among the villagers in the house.

"Ah? Oh... Oh, okay, immortal."

Erniu was filled with fear and trepidation. Her underdeveloped, yellow hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her temples.

Thus, Li Yang saw the sky of the Realm of Ultimate Truth for the first time.

The sun was blazing, a gentle breeze was blowing, white clouds were drifting by, and flocks of birds were flying across the sky.

For a moment, Li Yang was somewhat dazed, unable to tell whether he was still on Blue Star or had truly arrived in the Realm of Ultimate Truth.

Until, his gaze shifted downwards, and he saw countless villagers scattering and fleeing in terror on the yellowed streets of the village because of his appearance, crying in fear and helpless, as if it were the end of the world.

Several children collided while running on the road, and their already fearful emotions were instantly ignited. They lay on the ground and wailed, only to be hurriedly covered by adults from a nearby house.

The adult glanced at Li Yang instinctively, then scrambled back into the room with the child in her arms, hurriedly closing the door behind her.
This was a situation that Li Yang had never experienced on Earth.

Erniu's expression was clearly one of fear and trepidation. Her thin body trembled, and she unconsciously looked at Li Yang, afraid that the villagers' behavior would anger this immortal.

This is the law upon which mortals in this world survive: fear.

Fear of immortals.

Out of fear, the moment these villagers realized that Li Yang, whom Erniu had pulled from the river, was an immortal, their first thought wasn't to heal him and repay his kindness, but rather to find a way to kill him.
Li Yang remained silent, but he understood the villagers' situation.

As Li Yang walked through the village, he slowly experienced the local customs and culture that were so different from those of Earth. The [Extreme Path Treasure Mirror] on his body began to operate involuntarily.

His physical condition was not good; he had suffered severe injuries while crossing over into another realm.

However, the concentration of spiritual energy in this world also exceeded Li Yang's expectations. It was clearly an unknown little village, but the concentration of spiritual energy was comparable to the two holy lands of Qingcheng and Baiyun on Earth, and could even be compared to the immortal mountain Fangzhang Mountain at sea.

Every cell in Li Yang's body, including the circulation of the [Extreme Dao Treasure Mirror], was plunged into an unprecedented state of joy, as if he had arrived at his own home turf.
