Chapter 855 The Mysterious Path of Immortality
"Were we set up?"

Ye Yuan's eyes sharpened.

Back when he was a Daoist Lord, he was most disgusted by those schemes. He couldn't control others, but if it happened to Guanxu Zhenjun, he would definitely go and strike him a couple of times after he attained enlightenment.

Let those cunning old foxes know that there are people in this world who aren't without their own schemes.

Ji Fan shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Guanxu is a member of the Three Pure Ones Sect. Who would dare to scheme against him? It's like seeing a Daoist sect but being unable to enter, so we can only retreat."

"Ugh."

Ye Yuan sighed softly, "Asking the way is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven."

Ji Fan phrased it tactfully.

Breaking through to the Dao Lord level is like rowing against the current; there's no possibility of retreating. Clearly, one cannot attain the Dao and can only disperse the Dao and reincarnate.

There will never be another Guanxu Zhenjun in this world.

Even if it were a reincarnation of a Daoist master, he wouldn't dare say he could definitely return to his former heights.

Look around.

Of the original five people at the Three Lives Dao Altar, only three remain. One died after attaining enlightenment, another died on the path to enlightenment, and the elder is now all gone. It's hard not to feel a sense of sorrow.

Ji Fan rarely showed a bitter expression: "It's time for our Daoist altar to find someone else."

"If you two have suitable candidates, please feel free to recommend them to me. Also, if I were to pass away one day, I would entrust the affairs of the Daoist altar to you two."

Although there were two people, Ji Fan's gaze was fixed on Li Rui.

Ye Yuan knew his temperament. Although he wasn't a sword cultivator in this life, his temper was still as fiery as ever. In contrast, Li Rui was much more prudent in his actions.

He hadn't said anything before because he tacitly approved of Guanxu, but now that Guanxu Zhenjun had dispersed, Ji Fan felt somewhat disheartened.

"it is good."

Li Rui nodded.

If he could control a first-rate immortal dynasty, managing the Three Lives Dao Altar would naturally be an easy task for him.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, are you also going into seclusion to seek an opportunity?"

Li Rui suddenly spoke.

With his keen intellect, how could he not see that Ji Fan was subtly implying that something would happen afterward?

Ji Fan shook his head: "I have only condensed four cycles, why would I need to go into seclusion? I looked through the ancient books in my clan and found that there may be immortals in the Eastern Sea who have not yet ascended. I plan to go overseas to look for them."

"Seeking Immortality."

Li Rui remained silent.

In the cultivation world, there has always been the concept of seeking immortality, especially among cultivators who are nearing the end of their lives.

There are two levels to seeking immortality: one is seeking immortals themselves, and the other is seeking immortal places.

And without exception, they all went overseas.

The reason why the Endless Sea is called "Endless" is that even a Dao Lord would find it difficult to fully perceive it, and it contains countless secrets.

Regardless of whether immortals truly exist, even if one were to obtain an unclaimed immortal realm, it would still be an immense stroke of luck.

There was once a cultivator who was about to die of old age, but he received a stroke of good fortune overseas and defied fate.

However, the risks are also extremely high.

Before Li Rui could speak, Ye Yuan said, "Then I wish Brother Ji a speedy attainment of enlightenment."

He is the reincarnation of Tianhe Daojun.

He had long since become indifferent to life and death, as the saying goes, "If one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening."

If one cannot attain enlightenment or become an immortal, then dying now or prolonging one's life for a hundred years before dying is essentially the same.

Ye Yuan even held those old monsters who had been living a life of mere survival in utter contempt.

Ji Fan's actions undoubtedly earned him a good impression.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye."

Ji Fan laughed heartily: "I'm only considering this for now. I might give up on the idea in a few years."

Subsequently.

The three then exchanged their cultivation experiences.

Then they each went their separate ways.

The State of Yu became the eighth, and its fortunes soared.

Just over ten years later.

This yielded remarkable results, most notably in that the number of people at the Nascent Soul stage finally exceeded ten.

Even among first-rate immortal dynasties, it is already considered extremely good.

All mundane matters should be left to the respective deities.

Li Rui entered the mortal world less and less, and became a legendary figure in the secular world.

He practiced diligently every day, and his cultivation level steadily increased. "The improved version of the Heaven-Mending Technique is truly extraordinary."

Li Rui completed a tour of the method to mend the heavens, and was secretly amazed.

He understood this even better.

If the original version of "Mending the Sky" were used, it would be impossible to complete the Celestial Court.

Let's say that.

In the past, to repair the Celestial Court, one needed at least the cultivation level of a former Celestial Court ruler.

What a joke.

They have all become the masters of the Celestial Court, the number one cultivator in all the realms and heavens. Whether or not they have the Celestial Court makes absolutely no difference.

Those who need the Celestial Court cannot cultivate it, and even if they do, they have no use for it.

It's utterly useless.

But after improvement, it undergoes a complete transformation.

If one's Dao Lord realm is high enough, it is even possible to completely restore the Celestial Court.

With the Celestial Court as our backing, who would dare to bully us?
Even without mentioning the restoration of the Celestial Court, Li Rui has already achieved remarkable results after only a few years of repairs.

A thought came to my mind.

An old tree branch appeared in his hand.

It is the Six Signs Tree.

Now he can not only retrieve the Six Signs Dao Tree, but also activate it without damage.

The gift from the immortals is too high a rank.

Things from immortals aren't so useful; they'll shorten your lifespan.

Zhuge Ming's fights with the Immortal Tree were indeed impressive, but the price was that his lifespan of a hundred years vanished, and he almost died on the spot.

Even with Li Rui's current level of cultivation, activating the Six Signs Dao Tree would drain him dry.

Therefore, it was previously used as a weapon of mass destruction.

But now that worry is gone.

With these six Dao Trees as our trump card, even a Dao Lord's attack might not be too difficult to withstand.

If others were to find out about this, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

It's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Li Rui thought to himself.

A trump card is something you'll never need to use.

Otherwise, once it is used, it will be equivalent to telling the world that you have a complete immortal inheritance, and even Dao Lords will try to snatch it.

Even the three Dao Lords of Baiyujing might not be able to protect him.

The wise approach is to never let anyone know about the existence of the Six Signs Tree, or to ensure that anyone who has seen it never has the chance to speak of it again.

Just as Li Rui was about to continue cultivating to mend the heavens—

His expression changed slightly.

A sweep of divine sense revealed a graceful figure outside the Eastern Governor's Mansion.

On the street in front of the government office.

Xueqing Zhenjun looked up at the magnificent vermilion gate before him, thinking to himself:

"Is Li Changqing here?"

The thought had just arisen.

Then she saw a person appear in front of her.

It was Li Rui.

Li Rui said calmly, "What brings Fairy Xueqing here?"

Xueqing Zhenjun looked at Li Rui, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

This was the third time the two had met, and each time, Li Rui surprised her.

At first, she only thought that the two certificates were extraordinary.

The second time, in the Outer Heaven, Li Rui easily walked out of the Sea of ​​Evil Demons.

The third time, she directly obtained the purple rank in the Emperor's Palace. She had always thought she was highly talented, but she was overshadowed by Li Rui.

Upon recalling the purpose of his visit, Xueqing Zhenjun couldn't help but shake his head, his gaze hardening once more.

“Fellow Daoist Changqing, the Xuan King has been confirmed to inherit the throne of the Divine Void Human Emperor.”
