Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 765 Cultivating the Mind

From that day on, Li Rui frequently visited Master Zhu's residence.

"The Master is indeed very knowledgeable."

In the small courtyard.

Li Rui sighed.

It wasn't that he hadn't discussed the Dao with the True Lord; the True Lord Fufeng of Baiyujing had given him guidance on the path of cultivation more than once.

However, in terms of scholarship, he is clearly inferior to Master Zhu.

This is not only because Master Zhu is the reincarnation of the Daoist Lord and has broad knowledge, but also because it concerns inheritance and is the difference between Shenlu Academy and Baiyujing.

The lineage of Shenlu Academy can be traced back to ancient times, and it has produced countless Dao Lords and generations of geniuses. Its foundation is far beyond what Baiyujing can match.

Not to mention that even the Azure Emperor attained enlightenment at the Divine Deer Academy.

He also personally established the supreme position of Shenlu Academy in the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty.

"Brother Jiang, you've really put a lot of thought into this."

Li Rui is good in every way.

It's just too rural and lacks good traditions.

This matter was not apparent at first, but it became increasingly problematic the higher one's level of understanding.

Jiang Linxian brought him to Shenxu City. Hongwen Pavilion was secondary; the important thing was to befriend this old Master Zhu.

To receive guidance from this old master is better than any immortal magic or supernatural power.

Zhongli smiled slightly:
“Brother Li, you may not know this, but although Master Zhu may not be able to attain enlightenment in this lifetime, in terms of knowledge, he can be ranked among the top three in Shenlu Academy.”

He added, "This is what the dean said himself."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhu glared and puffed out his beard: "You brat, don't flatter me. What word of that old man's is credible?"

When Master Zhu was about to comment on the headmaster of Shenlu Academy, Zhongli immediately chose to remain silent.

Li Rui nodded, deeply agreeing with Zhong Li's words.

Master Zhu is indeed extraordinary, just as he just said.

The deeper one goes in spiritual practice, the more important one's mind and character become.

He reached the realm of Dao Lord.

It is also the will of Heaven that is my own heart.

If one's mind and character are flawed, then there is no hope for the path to enlightenment.

I have gained a lot from studying with Master Zhu these days.

Until late at night.

Li Rui had no intention of continuing the conversation late into the night, so he took his leave.

Back in the small house in Shenxu City.

Before even opening the door, a smile appeared on his face.

In the courtyard, besides Cui He, there was another person, Gu Changsheng, who had returned to the ancestral land of the Tianji Clan to break through.

"Brother Gu, congratulations."

As Li Rui entered the courtyard, he greeted Gu Changsheng with a smile.

When Gu Changsheng saw Li Rui, his face was full of smiles: "This is all thanks to Brother Li and True Monarch Jianhe. I placed the Heavenly Secret Seed on you three days ago. Brother, you have to help me out."

The so-called Heavenly Secret Seed.

It is a betting method used by the Celestial Secrets Clan.

Planting the seed of destiny has another name in mortal gambling dens: all-in.

Gu Changsheng and Li Rui are now in a situation where their fates are intertwined, sharing both glory and ruin.

Hear the words.

Li Rui then realized what was happening.

No wonder a large amount of first-class fortune suddenly appeared on him three days ago; it was Gu Changsheng's doing.

He also understood this secret.

The Heavenly Seed that Gu Changsheng planted in him is entirely beneficial to him, and if he gets injured, half of the damage will be transferred to Gu Changsheng.

Gamble!

Gu Changsheng then said seriously, "Brother Li, before I came to Shenxu City, the Ancestor said that there were signs of the Ascension Platform appearing in the world, and that one might be able to see immortals in this world."

Li Rui's expression changed drastically.

The ancient Celestial Court collapsed, followed by tens of thousands of years of chaos in the Dao, which only ended with the birth of the Dao Venerable.

after that.

The Daoist master ascended to immortality via the Ascension Platform.

He is the first immortal since the collapse of the Celestial Court.

Without exception, all those who ascend to immortality are connected to the Ascension Platform.

Cui He spoke softly, "Ascension is incredibly difficult. To become an immortal, one must enter the Ascension Platform, but even when the Ascension Platform is open, there is no guarantee that an immortal will appear."

There are thirty-seven Ascension Platforms in the world, but only a handful of people have actually ascended to immortality.

Those who can ascend to immortality are all ruthless individuals who have suppressed their entire era. Gu Changsheng smiled and said, "Brother Cui, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Even if you can't become an immortal, obtaining a Dao Fruit or an immortal item would be excellent."

"Too."

Cui He smiled.

Li Rui listened quietly.

He was aware of this matter, of course. Putting aside everything else, the immortal sects in the world were gifts from immortals, and ninety percent of them came from the Ascension Platform.

In addition, there are also lost Dao fruits appearing in the world.

This is a great opportunity to attain enlightenment.

of course.

Although he was also eager for the opportunity to ascend to the Ascension Platform, he would not easily enter into the game.

Otherwise, you might be plotted against and killed by those Daoist masters and old monsters without even realizing it.

Given his current level of cultivation, it would be best for him to remain humble and focus on his practice.

Shenxu City, beneath the city gate.

A cavalry unit, still bearing the scent of blood, slowly entered the city. Each rider rode a two-headed black tiger spirit beast, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The leader was a man dressed in a black and gold python robe, exuding an air of nobility.

"Brother Xie, at most a hundred years should be enough for you to become a True Lord?"

Tianxuan King looked at Xie Tingxuan, who was half a step behind him.

This trip south.

This genius from the Jie Dao Sect helped him immensely; otherwise, he would not have been able to eradicate a heretical sect with three peak Nascent Soul cultivators in just a few years.

of course.

Xie Tingxuan also got what he wanted.

King Tianxuan was extremely interested in what Xie Tingxuan had obtained from that cult.

However, they would not pry into Xie Tingxuan's secrets out of curiosity.

Xie Tingxuan simply smiled slightly and remained silent.

My heart moved slightly.

"The Immortal Execution Tower"

He finally got his wish and found a small tower for slaying immortals in the cult's altar.

This way.

Thus, a total of five Immortal Execution Towers were gathered.

That's enough for him to establish himself as a True Monarch.

But how could a reincarnated Dao Lord be content to stop at the level of a True Lord?

Of course, one must try to attain the Dao Fruit, and using the Immortal Slaughtering Tower to suppress the opponent is an extremely important step.

Xie Tingxuan suddenly spoke:
"I heard that Master Zhu has a new regular guest at his home, named Li Rui."

Upon hearing the name Master Zhu, King Tianxuan's expression instantly turned cold.

"That old bastard."

Although Master Zhu was not in the imperial court, his influence was enormous. Even princes might not be able to gain entry into his school, which made people like Prince Tianxuan, who were already hostile to Shenlu Academy, even more dissatisfied.

Tianxuan King snorted softly:
"An out-of-state resident, does he even deserve to take sides?"

another side.

Inside the house.

Li Rui was sitting cross-legged on a futon, his hands constantly making hand seals, his five fingers moving so fast that only a blur could be seen.

suddenly.

He exhaled a breath of immortal energy.

Vast amounts of celestial energy floated in the air, initially like white smoke, but gradually condensing into clouds.

If other cultivators saw this, they would definitely be shocked.

Whose Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could possess so much immortal energy?
Li Rui was able to squander his wealth so recklessly because his Purple Mansion was large enough.

A quarter of an hour later.

The cloud gradually transformed into a human shape.

See this scene.

Li Rui's eyes lit up immediately, and he gave a soft shout: "Go!"

The words fell.

A streak of dark blue light shot out from between Li Rui's brows and landed in the clouds.

Like the finishing touch on a painting.

The humanoid cloud platform seemed to come to life, and its face gradually became clear, revealing itself to be a handsome young man.

The young man slowly opened his eyes and bowed to Li Rui:
"I've met Taoist friends."
