Cultivation Begins From The Desert

To Zhou Yang's surprise, there was no main hall in the depths of the Taoist Palace, only a small wooden house less than two feet high.

He walked along the widest bluestone road, and when he reached the end, he came to the outside of this small wooden house.

The cabin is located on the edge of a cliff in the depths of the Taoist Palace, behind it is an unknown depth of cliffs, and the doors and windows are all closed.

Zhou Yang walked outside the door, stretched out his hand and pushed lightly, and the wooden door squeaked open in response.

Inside the wooden house, the first thing that caught Zhou Yang's eyes was a wooden "Donglai Immortal" statue as tall as a normal person.

【Donglai Real Man】The statue is obviously made by a master, and it is almost as lifelike as a real person.

"Is this [Donglai Immortal]? Sure enough, he has the spirit of a fairy, the appearance of a real fairy!"

Looking at the statue of [Donglai Immortal], Zhou Yang couldn't help admiring.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the [Donglai Immortal] statue suddenly had a flash of light, looked at him suddenly and said, "Really? Do you really think so?"

Zhou Yang's face froze suddenly, and he stared at the statue of [Donglai Immortal] who suddenly made a sound, and was completely stunned.

"Don't be surprised, since I have left the orthodox inheritance, how can I not leave some behind-the-scenes in case of accidents?"

[Donglai Real Man] The statue looked at Zhou Yang in surprise, and said in a slightly hasty tone: "The cross-border sound transmission consumes too much, so let's make a long story short. You answer my few questions first, and then talk about other things."

"Senior, just ask me, this junior must know everything and say everything!"

Zhou Yang's whole body trembled, he suddenly recovered from the stupefaction, and quickly responded respectfully to the words of the statue of [Donglai Immortal].

As soon as he said this, the statue of [Donglai Immortal] immediately looked at him and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Zhou Yang immediately replied: "Back to the seniors, the junior was originally a monk of a small family, and by chance, he has cultivated to this level today. If one counts one's background, the family of the junior now should be considered a big cultivator's family, right?" !"

"Born as a monk from a small family, you can actually practice to the Nascent Soul stage. It seems that you have a lot of opportunities! But this is not important. Since you are not one of the top sect monks, I don't have to worry that my inheritance will be cheap to others gone."

[Donglai Immortal] The statue was talking to itself, then looked at Zhou Yang and continued to ask: "Let me ask you again, if you have my inheritance, would you be willing to regard me as your ancestor? Are you willing to let your family's younger monks and Ordinary people, from generation to generation, enshrine to me?"

Hearing such a weird question, Zhou Yang was also confused, and based on the principle of being cautious, he didn't dare to answer immediately, but asked in a low voice: "The junior dares to ask the senior, what exactly does the so-called offering by the senior mean? "

"Worship is naturally worship, what else can you mean? You just need to spread my name in your family, and then set up many statues for me, so that the monks and mortals in your family can often pay respects!"

[Donglai real person] The statue glanced at him, and answered his question in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he had many associations in an instant, but he responded very simply: "If it's just that, of course this junior is willing."

"Very good, then as long as you agree to my last condition, the orthodox inheritance I left on this [Donglai Immortal Island] will belong to you!"

[Donglai real person] The statue gave a satisfied cry, then looked at him with awe-inspiring eyes and said, "My last condition is that you must make an oath that you will help me immediately after your cultivation reaches the ninth floor of the Nascent Soul." Go to the sand sea in the Far West to take something I left behind, and then send it to me according to the method I taught you!"

"Okay, the junior has agreed to the senior."

Zhou Yang's complexion changed, and he looked at the statue of [Donglai Real Man] with splendor in his eyes, and agreed.

As soon as his words fell, the statue of [Donglai Master] said with satisfaction: "In this case, you can start to worship the teacher!"

"Disciple Zhou Yang, pay homage to Master!"

Zhou Yang knelt down on the ground, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times to the statue of [Donglai Immortal] solemnly.

Afterwards, he made a big oath according to the conditions he had just promised.

After all the dust settled, the [Donglai Immortal] statue said again: "Okay, there is still about a quarter of an hour. If you have any questions, you can hurry up and ask."

Zhou Yang was waiting for his words.

After hearing the words, he immediately looked at him with piercing eyes and asked: "Disciple dare to ask Master, what is your cultivation level now, but you are located in the legendary Realm of Immortals?"

"I am indeed in the Realm of Immortals right now. As for my current cultivation, it's hard to say."

[Donglai Real Man] The spiritual light on the statue flickered slightly, as if hesitating, but soon stabilized and continued: "In terms of realm, I should have reached the realm of returning to the void, but if I am above the level of mana cultivation, I am still still there." The cultivation base in the later stage of the tribulation, so if it is really counted, it can be called a half-step return to the void!"

Hearing his words, although Zhou Yang had expected it in his heart, he was still surprised and envious.

From the first time he heard the statue of [Donglai Real Man] say the words "cross-boundary sound transmission", he guessed that the other party's body should still be alive, and he should have gone to the legendary "true fairy world".

As far as he knows, in a world like "Spirit World", the maximum lifespan of a true immortal in the human race's tribulation period is 10,000 years.

This is the upper limit defined by the laws of heaven and earth in this world, not the original upper limit of the lifespan of a true immortal in the Transcending Tribulation Period.

Therefore, if [Dong Lai Zhenren] is still alive, then he must have gone to the legendary "True Immortal Realm".

However, Zhou Yang did not expect that after more than 10,000 years, [Donglai Daoist] broke through to the legendary state of returning to the void from the original cultivation base of the middle stage of the tribulation.

Zhou Yang knew very little about the realm of returning to the void, he only knew that this realm was only one realm away from the rumored realm of immortality.

In addition, monks in the realm of returning to the void are honored as "true monarchs" and enjoy the reputation of "earth immortals".

[Donglai real person] Reaching the realm of returning to the void means that he is only one step away from the ultimate goal of cultivating immortals. How can this not make Zhou Yang envious.

While he was just envious, he also noticed the mismatch between the realm and mana cultivation that [Donglai Zhenren] said.

Generally speaking, the mismatch between realm and mana cultivation would only appear among Jindan stage monks below the Nascent Soul stage.

Because after the Golden Core stage monks seized the house, their cultivation base would fall to the Golden Core stage, and it would take a long time to recover the Golden Core stage cultivation base after re-cultivation.

[Donglai real person] He has practiced the magic body of the real immortal ten thousand years ago. Of course, it is impossible to do the thing of seizing the house, so Zhou Yang is very puzzled that this kind of thing will happen to him.

Uncomprehending, he simply asked directly: "Why is this happening? Do all monks in the Void Returning Realm have to experience the situation you are in now, Master?"

As soon as he said this, he regretted his recklessness.

Because this kind of thing obviously involves personal privacy.

Although he had just set up a master-student status with [Dong Lai Zhenren], it is also a taboo thing to inquire about the master's personal privacy as a disciple.

Fortunately, the statue of [Donglai Immortal] did not bother with him about respecting the teacher, but just refused: "Of course not, this matter involves the secrets of the Xian family, and it is not something you need to know at this time. You can practice it later." In order to be able to reach the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and have the chance to reach the Realm of Immortals, after seeing my real body, it will not be too late for me to explain this to you in detail!"

Of course, not all cultivators can use the word "immortal family". The so-called immortal family characters and immortal family supernatural powers all describe people who have cultivated above the tribulation stage.

The Immortal Family is secretive. Since the Realm of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage is a secret, Zhou Yang, a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage, is indeed not qualified to inquire about it, or it is useless to know it.

Therefore, after being rejected, he was sensible and didn't ask this matter again, but changed the question and asked: "Master, can you tell me about the real fairy world? Are there really Hedao heavenly immortals in the real fairy world?" Can Hedao Heavenly Immortals really live forever?"

"What I really want to tell you about the real fairy world, I'm afraid I can't finish it in a few years. I can only tell you that the real fairy world is so big that it is beyond your imagination. A hundred spirit worlds It is less than one-thousandth of the size of the real fairy world!"

"As for Hedao Celestial Immortals, of course there are, otherwise there would be no legends of this realm!"

"If you want to ask me whether the Hedao Heavenly Immortal is really immortal, I actually can't answer you with certainty, because there are records in the Real Immortal Realm up to now, and I have never heard of any Hedao Heavenly Immortal who will die because of the exhaustion of his lifespan. Sit down and die!"

[Donglai Real Man] The statue didn't hide anything this time, and answered Zhou Yang's question very readily.

When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately took note of the information, and then seized the time to continue asking: "Thank you, Master, for clarifying the confusion. This disciple wants to ask Master one more thing. How long can a true immortal live if he is in the real immortal world during the tribulation period?" ? Does it mean that all monks in a world like the Spiritual Realm can break through to a higher realm and have a longer lifespan only by going to the True Immortal Realm?"

"About the world, the gods of Hedao divided all the worlds into three levels. A small world like Kunxu Realm belongs to the lowest level world. The upper limit of the power that the world can accommodate is the sixth level, while the spirit world belongs to the middle level. The world, the upper limit of the power that the world can accommodate is the seventh level, and the real fairy world is a world of higher levels, the upper limit of the world's capacity can reach the ninth level!"

"So, if monks in the middle-level world want to be promoted to the seventh level, they must go to a high-level world like the Realm Realm to successfully advance."

"As for the lifespan of a true immortal in the realm of the immortals during the tribulation period, it will indeed be extended, as in the legend of the realm of the spirit world, but it will not exceed 30,000 years at the longest."

[Donglai real person] The statue seems to really value Zhou Yang, a cheap apprentice. As long as he can say something, he basically answers every question. It really allows Zhou Yang to understand many ordinary monks in the Nascent Soul Stage through him. secret.

After asking these few questions, more than half of the quarter of an hour that [Donglai real person] said has passed.

Zhou Yang counted the time, and didn't dare to ask more irrelevant topics, so he hurriedly continued to ask: "Master, have you ever heard of the name [Gen Yang Zhenren]? Don't dare to lie to the master, because the disciple is pregnant. [Qianyang Treasure Body], as early as the foundation building period, I accidentally obtained the natal magic weapon left by this senior in the spirit world after his fall, and inherited the inheritance of this senior's skills from it!"

"What? You actually got the skill inheritance of [Tianyang Daoist]!"

[Donglai real person] The voice of the statue suddenly increased a lot, and the voice was full of surprise.

Listening to his words, it was obvious that he knew the existence of [Tianyang Daoist], which made Zhou Yang happy, and when he raised his hand, he revealed the seventh-order fairy artifact [Qianyang Orb].

"Master, please take a look, this is the [Qianyang Daoist] natal magic weapon that the disciple got, it is called [Qianyang Baozhu]."

【Donglai Immortal】When the statue raised its hand, the 【Qianyang Orb】in Zhou Yang's hand fell into his hands.

Holding the orb in his hand, he studied it for a while, then threw it back to Zhou Yang, and said in a solemn voice: "You put this thing away, if you are destined to reach the real fairy world in the future, this thing may be able to Save you from struggling for thousands of years!"

There was even a sense of envy in his words.

This made Zhou Yang even more curious, and he couldn't help asking: "Master, can you elaborate a little bit?"

"Time is running out, I can only tell you that the sect that [Gen Yang Daoist] came from is a famous sect even in the world of true immortals. There are more than one earth immortal in the return to void period sitting in the sect, and he himself is even more famous. He is a bloodline descendant of one of the Earth Immortals in the Void Return Stage!"

"Since you are lucky enough to have obtained his natal magic weapon and practiced his original kung fu, you can be regarded as his successor."

"I am the people of the immortal family who pay the most attention to the word fate. If you are destined to get the inheritance of [Gen Yang Daoist]'s skills, and successfully inherited his mantle, you have formed a fate with his sect. In the future, as long as you can reach True Immortal Realm, go to the sect he came from, with this fate, you can easily join it to practice and inherit his network resources!"

[Donglai Real Man] The statue speaks quickly, telling the inside story in a concise and clear tone, so that Zhou Yang will not be completely confused.

After saying this, he looked at Zhou Yang solemnly and said, "Time is running out, you can only ask one more question at most, have you thought about what to ask?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang's heart tightened suddenly, and he had to dismiss the other questions that he wanted to ask, and he cupped his hands directly and said, "Master Mingjian, my last question is to ask whether the tree demon king on the island is trustworthy? This man and his disciples said that you arranged for him to guard the fairy island and look for you to inherit the Taoism, but the disciples always feel that his motives are not pure, and there is a big problem!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately used the most simple and clear words to tell what happened after he appeared in [Donglai Xiandao], especially pointing out some things wrong with the green-haired old man.

"I expected that after I left, those incompetent disciples would not be able to work together to protect the fairy island, so I laid a backup hand on them in advance, and handed over a magic talisman that activated the protective formation of the fairy island to Mu. Keep it in Qingyun's custody, let him see the right time to activate the big formation, and prevent those evildoers from really destroying Xiandao!"

"At that time, I did tell Mu Qingyun, let him pay attention to the monks who will enter the island after a thousand years, and choose a suitable successor for me!"

"However, no matter from your description, or from the fact that only ten thousand years have passed before someone entered the fairy island, there is indeed something wrong with Mu Qingyun. I don't know how to master a certain authority of the guardian formation of the fairy island."

[Donglai real person] The statue paused slightly as it said this, as if it was sorting out its thoughts.

After doing this for a while, he continued, "I probably understand what Mu Qingyun is thinking."

"If my predictions are correct, the inheritance that Mu Qingyun wants you to obtain in a hurry should be to obtain the central control magic weapon of the Immortal Island Guardian Formation from you, and get back his natal soul card by the way."

"If he does this, he probably already has the confidence to hit the seventh step, and he is going to use the Immortal Island Guardian Formation to help him resist the catastrophe and successfully transform into form!"

What!

Zhou Yang looked at the statue of [Donglai Immortal] with a face full of shock, and was shocked by the news.

He had guessed a lot about the true intentions of the green-haired old man Mu Qingyun before, and he also vaguely guessed that the other party wanted to use his own hands to gain the real control of the Immortal Island Guardian Formation and the right to freely enter and exit the Immortal Island.

But he never thought that Mu Qingyun had the qualifications to cross the Heavenly Tribulation!

At this time, after the mention of the statue of [Donglai Immortal], he also suddenly came to his senses, and understood what Mu Qingyun's real intentions were.

After Zhou Yang understood this, he suddenly changed his color and exclaimed: "What should I do? If he really survives the catastrophe on the fairy island, let's not talk about whether the fairy island will be destroyed by the catastrophe. If he really succeeds in overcoming the tribulation and is promoted to become a seventh-order true spirit, I am afraid that my entire human race will lose luck because of it!"

"This matter is really difficult to handle. If Mu Qingyun has really reached that point, the natal soul card I refined back then can't control him at all in your hands, and with your current cultivation base, you can't completely control Xiandao Guarding the big formation, once you suppress him with the formation, he will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry and directly trigger the Heavenly Tribulation, then Xiandao will really be completely lost!"

It can make [Donglai real person] this "half-step return to the void" monk say it is difficult to handle, which shows how difficult this matter is.

And now Zhou Yang can only rely on this master who has just worshiped not long ago.

He knew very well that if Mu Qingyun really wanted to control the [Donglai Immortal Island] guardian formation to overcome the catastrophe, even if he was willing to give up the control magic weapon of the immortal guardian formation, the other party might not be willing to let him go.

Unless he is willing to give all the treasures and inheritances he got from 【Donglai Immortal】to the other party, maybe the other party may spare his life after the successful tribulation.

But how could he do that!

Anxious in his heart, he couldn't help but look at the statue of [Donglai Immortal], all relying on this master to give him advice.

Under his gaze, the statue of [Donglai Immortal] pondered for a while, then looked at him and said, "How about this, I will make you a fake seventh-order fairy talisman, and you can use this to frighten Mu Qingyun, and He negotiated, allowing him to survive the catastrophe on Xiandao, and giving him his natal soul card, but absolutely not giving him the magic weapon to control the guardian formation of Xiandao!"

"Of course, if he really refuses to compromise, then you can only abandon this fairy island and run for your life!"

Is that the only way?

Zhou Yang was somewhat disappointed in his heart, he thought [Donglai Daoist], an expert with a "half-step return to the void" cultivation base, could help him achieve a comeback against the sky!

It's just that although he was disappointed in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face. He just asked quickly: "But in this way, what should Mu Qingyun do if he survives the catastrophe? At that time, his seventh-level cultivation base wants to deal with disciples. This disciple really has no power to resist at all!"

[Donglai real person] Hearing the words, he said decisively: "You don't need to worry about this. Although I don't know what kind of adventure Mu Qingyun had to make it to this point, the chance of him successfully crossing the catastrophe is impossible to exceed 10% !"

After speaking, he seemed to feel that such a simple sentence did not have much convincing force, so he explained:

"You have to know that in a high-level world like the Real Immortal Realm, except for those true spirits and true saints who are born with strong roots, it will take a thousand years for a grass, tree and tree demon with ordinary roots like Mu Qingyun to be promoted to the seventh level. , A few cases are rare in ten thousand years, he will never know how lethal the Heavenly Tribulation is to a dryad like him!"

Hearing such affirmative words from 【Donglai Immortal】, Zhou Yang was really relieved.

Although he knew that the "Cultivation of Immortal Tribulation" by the immortal cultivators and the "True Spirit Tribulation" by the monster clan were extremely powerful and the chance of surviving them was very low, but after all, he had never seen it with his own eyes and had no right to speak.

But [Donglai Real Man], as a powerful existence of "half-step return to the void", once personally survived the "tribulation of becoming an immortal", naturally has a great say in this regard.

Since he was so sure that Mu Qingyun would not be able to survive the catastrophe, Zhou Yang naturally believed in his judgment.

"Okay, the time is coming, my avatar will be dispersed soon, I hope you can remember what you promised me, don't make mistakes!"

[Donglai real person] The statue looked deeply at Zhou Yang and said.

Then he pointed his right hand together to form a knife, and cut off his left hand. Using this half of the severed hand as a material, he made a fake seventh-order fairy talisman on the spot, which made Zhou Yang's heart skip a beat just by emitting breath.

After finishing all this, he suddenly pointed at Zhou Yang, and then passed a large amount of information that was inconvenient to dictate to Zhou Yang in the way of the primordial spirit.

Boom!

After teaching the Fa, before Zhou Yang could express his gratitude to this cheap master, the statue of [Donglai Immortal] suddenly exploded.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang's face flashed with sadness, and then he bowed and said: "Master, don't worry, the so-called being a teacher for one day is a teacher for life. Since the disciple has accepted your benefits, I will definitely treat you with all my heart." Do what you told me to do!"

This is his promise to the master who is in the "true fairy world".

Then he sat down cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on digesting the information he had just received during the transmission of the primordial spirit.

This information contains two parts, one part is the secret art of the fairy family obtained by [Donglai Zhenren] in the "True Immortal Realm", and the other part is a detailed description of what he asked Zhou Yang to do.

After Zhou Yang sorted out the information, he couldn't help opening his eyes, and sighed with a complicated expression: "Hey, it turns out that the boundless sand sea will become what it is today, and the truth is so!"

worry! This kind of setting will consume a lot of brain cells. Recently, I have been losing hair every day, which is terrible!
