329: Below the Tianyuan Daoxian! The Red Dust Immortal? Ascending to the Immortal Realm?
Chapter 327: Below Tian Yuan Dao Immortal! Red Dust Immortal? Ascending to the Immortal Domain?
Asking Immortal Holy Domain!
This is the most central sacred land of the Asking Immortal Continent, and also the place where the Five Great Immortal Sovereigns of the Human Race reside.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the nine-layered Immortal palaces appeared and disappeared, and the ethereal spiritual energy transformed into flowing radiance surging across the sky. Every wisp of wind carried the Dao charm accumulated over the years.
Passing through a patch of lush green bamboo forest, a gentle breeze blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled, echoing like the sound of nature through the secluded path.
Deep within the bamboo forest, an ancient and elegant pavilion stood quietly. Its eaves curved upwards, subtly flowing with Immortal charm.
In front of the pavilion was a clear pond, its surface rippling with water. Several spiritual fish swam within it.
The scales on their bodies shimmered with a faint radiance. Occasionally, they leaped out of the water, creating tiny ripples, only to return to stillness in an instant.
At the bottom of the pond lay several turtle shells inscribed with ancient runes, appearing dim and bright in the play of light and shadow, seemingly containing supreme mysteries.
Inside the pavilion within the bamboo forest, five figures sat around a green jade stone platform.
Suspended in the center of the jade platform was a chaotic colored light sphere, occasionally erupting with golden lightning and sometimes overflowing with deep blue flames, causing everyone's faces to flicker between light and dark.
There were three Old Men. The one in the main seat had the hair of a crane and the face of a child, his eyes like stars. His fingertips were entwined with faint, almost invisible zither strings, as if playing the rhythm of heaven and earth.
Another Old Man had a withered face but an aura like an abyss, his body shrouded in gray-black mist, as if he could devour everything at any moment.
The last Old Man had white hair and beard, held a staff, and wore a calm expression. With every wave, golden lotuses bloomed in the void.
In addition, there was a young man who appeared to be only in his early twenties.
Clad in white clothes whiter than snow, with picturesque features, he lightly tapped the stone platform with his fingertips. A bamboo tube appeared before him, seemingly deducing the myriad things of heaven and earth.
The other person was a steady-faced middle-aged man. His eyes were slightly closed, and faint dragon energy coiled around him, exuding authority without anger.
The Dao patterns carved on the ancient bronze cauldron above his head actually wriggled slightly under the fluctuation of spiritual energy.
Suddenly—
The Old Man in the main seat slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was like lightning, piercing through the bamboo forest and looking towards the end of the path.
"Daoist Lu Xuan."
As his voice fell, the other four also opened their eyes simultaneously, their gazes converging as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Amidst the swaying bamboo shadows, a tall and straight figure slowly walked out from the void.
Lu Xuan's black cloud-patterned robe fluttered in the breeze. Within his sleeves, there was a faint image of the movement of the myriad things and stars.
This sound spread through the bamboo forest, startling the spiritual fish in the pond, causing them to dive to the bottom.
Lu Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic light sphere suspended on the jade platform.
After a slight pause, a half-smile curved his lips: "I, Lu, have met the Five Great Immortal Sovereigns!"
"I wonder, Five Great Immortal Sovereigns, what explanation do you intend to give me?"
Before his voice fell, the Old Man in the main seat suddenly stroked his beard and laughed heartily. The laughter shook the bamboo leaves, causing them to fall.
"Hahaha! Daoist Lu is indeed straightforward!"
The other four had varied expressions, their gazes like torches as they scrutinized Lu Xuan from head to toe.
Because this Lu Xuan before them was truly a monstrous figure of astonishing talent!
A few days ago, he emerged without warning. On the continent of the Great Xia Dynasty, he forcefully annihilated Ancestor Yu Huang, one of the Ten Great Demon Ancestors, with the momentum of thunder.
Undoubtedly, being able to easily kill a Great Demon Ancestor at the Major Accomplishment of Earth Respect Realm Master, Lu Xuan's strength had already surpassed everyone's imagination.
In just these few days, the news of Ancestor Yu Huang's demise spread like wildfire throughout the Heavenly Martial World Domain.
Innumerable forces in the Heavenly Martial World Domain were shaken by this.
In the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain of the Western Regions, the three Demon Saints of the Demon Clan were even more enraged, vowing to grind Lu Xuan's bones to dust.
Furthermore, they had also obtained some information about Lu Xuan's growth experience from Xia Ritain.
Less than 200 years!
In the long years of the cultivation world, where cultivation is often measured in millennia, this was merely a flick of a finger.
Yet, from the time this Lu Xuan emerged, in less than two hundred years.
He had actually grown from an unknown rogue Cultivator to the point where he could easily annihilate powerhouses at the Major Accomplishment of Earth Respect Realm Master.
One must know that those at the Major Accomplishment of Earth Respect Realm Master are either reclusive Ancestors in many supreme great Sects or peerless powerhouses dominating countless territories on the Asking Immortal Continent.
Each Major Accomplishment of Earth Respect Realm Master requires enduring countless calamities and consuming immeasurable heavenly materials and earthly treasures to Cultivate to such a Realm.
Yet Lu Xuan could crush them like ants. Such terrifying cultivation speed and such shocking battle achievements truly subverted everyone's understanding of cultivation.
Anyone who heard of it would only find it unbelievable and think it was impossible.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was completely unmoved, the leading Immortal Sovereign spoke no more and lightly tapped the stone platform with his knuckles.
In an instant, the chaotic light sphere floating on the stone platform instantly tore through the void and shot towards Lu Xuan.
"Daoist Lu Xuan, this is a treasure collected by the Asking Immortal Holy Domain."
"Myriad Birth Calamity Bead!"
The Old Man's hoarse voice carried vast pressure, falling like a heavy hammer.
In an instant, the rustling bamboo forest fell into an eerie silence.
As the Myriad Birth Calamity Bead streaked across the sky, the spiritual energy of the entire Asking Immortal Holy Domain seemed to be frozen by an invisible giant hand, and the very breathing of heaven and earth paused.
This light sphere, flowing with heaven and earth Dao patterns, caused ripples in the surrounding void with every slow rotation, as if myriad Laws were intertwined within it.
Each pattern contained the mighty power of creation, seemingly witnessing the cycles of birth and death in the three thousand worlds.
When the Myriad Birth Calamity Bead suddenly hovered three feet in front of Lu Xuan, a dazzling Immortal light shot up into the sky, actually dimming the sun and moon.
Looking closely, the interior of the Myriad Birth Calamity Bead actually formed a Small World of its own.
The sun, moon, and stars slowly revolved, mountains and rivers meandered and flowed, and birds and beasts moved within it, presenting a scene of all living beings thriving endlessly.
The leading Immortal Sovereign's gaze was sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Daoist Lu, this is an Immortal Artifact—the Myriad Birth Calamity Bead."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the pavilion within the bamboo forest suddenly turned into nothingness.
Everyone seemed to be in the primordial Chaos at the beginning of creation, with only that light sphere illuminating the ages like the lamp of the Great Beginning.
"Does it still meet Daoist Lu's approval?"
The sleeves of the leading Old Man Immortal Sovereign moved without wind, and a hint of an almost imperceptible strange look flashed in his eyes.
Lu Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand, and after lightly tapping the Myriad Birth Calamity Bead with his fingertip, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
Afterward, Lu Xuan grabbed the Myriad Birth Calamity Bead and put it away on himself.
The System had checked it, and there were no problems.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was just about to leave, how could these Five Great Immortal Sovereigns sit still?
In an instant, they transformed into five dazzling streams of light, flashing before Lu Xuan in the blink of an eye.
"Daoist Lu, please stay!"
"We observed carefully and found that Daoist Lu's body is flowing with Dao charm, but there is no trace of the Red Dust True Intent."
"Why is this?"
"We hope Daoist Lu can enlighten us."
These Five Great Immortal Sovereigns did not hesitate to take out an Immortal Artifact and invite Lu Xuan over.
What they sought was precisely the answer to this question.
After all, Lu Xuan's situation was simply too bizarre.
A figure who could kill someone at the Major Accomplishment of Earth Respect Realm Master in the blink of an eye.
According to common sense, he should undoubtedly be a Red Dust Immortal.
Yet, on this Lu Xuan's body, there was not the slightest trace of Red Dust True Intent!
Could it be that this Daoist Lu Xuan before us has already completely transcended the numerous trials of the illusory Red Dust world,
and become the true Tian Yuan Dao Immortal, high above and longed for?
Finally, the five Immortal Sovereigns spoke simultaneously: "Dare to ask, Daoist Lu... how did you escape the Red Dust and directly attain the Great Dao?"
The entire Asking Immortal Holy Domain suddenly fell silent.
Spiritual fish hung in the air, bamboo leaves were still, and even the river of time seemed to freeze at this moment—
As if all things in heaven and earth were waiting for this answer that might subvert their understanding.
This question made Lu Xuan, who was about to leave, pause, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Above Earth Respect Realm Master?
Isn't it Tian Yuan Dao Immortal?
The next moment, Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of intriguing surprise appearing on his face.
"Five Great Immortal Sovereigns, I, Lu, have never said that I am the so-called Red Dust Immortal."
One of the Immortal Sovereigns heard this and immediately lost his composure, staring at Lu Xuan with a face full of horror, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"What!"
"Daoist Lu!!!"
"You... you are not a Red Dust Immortal?"
Since Lu Xuan was not a Red Dust Immortal, it proved one fact.
He was still in the Realm of Earth Respect Realm Master!
This answer was like a heavy hammer, striking hard at the hearts of the Immortal Sovereigns.
It was even more chilling than when they previously thought Lu Xuan was a Red Dust Immortal.
Because Lu Xuan could actually unleash strength comparable to a Red Dust Immortal while still in the Realm of Earth Respect Realm Master.
What kind of terrifying existence was this Lu Xuan?
Damn it.
This monster, let alone through the ages, even in tens of millions of years, there has never been such a record.
This guy Lu Xuan can now be said to be the first person since the creation of heaven and earth.
If he were to break through to the Red Dust Immortal Realm in the future, his terrifying strength would simply be unimaginable.
They didn't even dare to think about it!
Thinking of this, a sudden chill arose in the hearts of the Immortal Sovereigns, and their eyes were filled with apprehension towards Lu Xuan.
The pupils of the leading Immortal Sovereign suddenly constricted to the size of needlepoints.
Those eyes that had seen through tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes were locked firmly onto Lu Xuan.
"In that case..." The Old Man Immortal Sovereign's voice was ethereal and illusory.
"Daoist Lu, you probably still don't know what a Red Dust Immortal is, right?"
Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe moving without wind: "I don't know."
These two simple words caused the spiritual energy of the entire Asking Immortal Holy Domain to stagnate.
Lu Xuan thought to himself, what use was it to know about the so-called Red Dust Immortal?
In his view, having System points, he could just mindlessly deduce Martial Dao techniques.
As for the Bottlenecks that troubled countless Cultivators, and the comprehension of heaven and earth.
The System would quickly transmit the result of the deduction into his mind, just as if he had personally cultivated and gained it. Why bother thinking too much?
In a word, Martial Dao cultivation was as simple as breathing for Lu Xuan!
Of course, Lu Xuan definitely wouldn't say such provocative words.
After all, if he really said this, these Five Great Immortal Sovereigns before him would probably have their mental states collapse on the spot.
They might even be unable to suppress their anger and directly beat him up.
Looking at the expressions of the Five Great Immortal Sovereigns who seemed to be doubting life was much more interesting than getting beaten up.
"It seems Daoist Lu is a Cultivator who doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs."
The leading Immortal Sovereign stroked his beard and sighed softly, a trace of elusive starlight flashing in his eyes.
He slightly moved his sleeve, and five Dao charm cushions immediately appeared in the void. Each cushion flowed with different rich Heaven and Earth Laws.
"Since we are fated to meet today, we shall enlighten Daoist Lu and explain the mysteries of the Red Dust Immortal."
"I wonder if Daoist Lu is willing to listen?"
........
Above Earth Respect Realm Master is Tian Yuan Dao Immortal!
To achieve Tian Yuan Dao Immortal, one must undergo numerous baptisms through the cycles of the mundane Red Dust world.
Completely discard all obsessions, attachments, and mundane energy from when one was a Mortal.
If one were to say that those at the Perfected stage of Earth Respect Realm Master are merely in the process of forging an Immortal body.
Then, only a soul that has undergone three thousand Red Dust tribulations and shed all Mortal thoughts and desires is the true spirit of an Immortal!
When the two merge into one, only then is one a true Immortal who has transcended the shackles of the world.
More importantly, once one advances to Tian Yuan Dao Immortal, one can break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Martial World Domain and ascend to the Immortal Domain that all Cultivators in the world yearn for!
In this Heavenly Martial World Domain, constrained by numerous Heaven and Earth Laws, resources are also scarce and limited, making the path of cultivation difficult.
However, the Immortal Domain is completely different. It is said that in that supreme and mysterious place.
Immortal Artifacts, Immortal fruits, and Immortal medicines are all available and inexhaustible.
However, these are merely records passed down by ancient Martial Dao Cultivators.
As for their truth, no one can know for sure.
The Red Dust Immortal is a transitional Realm between Tian Yuan Dao Immortal and Earth Respect Realm Master, and can also be called a half-Immortal.
The strength of a Red Dust Immortal is measured by the number of Red Dust cycles they have experienced.
From First Cycle Red Dust Immortal to Ninth Cycle Red Dust Immortal, there are a total of nine levels.
A First Cycle Red Dust Immortal is merely beginning the trials of the mundane Red Dust world.
Only by undergoing the numerous baptisms of nine cycles in the mundane Red Dust world, thoroughly comprehending the Red Dust True Intent, and reaching the Perfected stage of Ninth Cycle Red Dust Immortal.
Can one cross this threshold and achieve Tian Yuan Dao Immortal!
And then ascend to the Immortal Domain, stepping onto a higher level of cultivation path.
Great Xia Dynasty!
In a forbidden area isolated from the world.
Host: Lu Xuan
Realm: Earth Respect Realm Master (Major Accomplishment)
Cultivation Techniques: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 11/9 (Can deduce), Close Distance to the Horizon 11/9 (Can deduce), Undying and Unextinguished 11/9 (Can deduce)
Points: 32.6 million
Please confirm if the Host wishes to consume 15 million points to deduce Burning Heaven Blade Technique.
Please confirm if the Host wishes to consume 15 million points to deduce Close Distance to the Horizon.
Please confirm if the Host wishes to consume 15 million points to deduce Undying and Unextinguished!
Compared to the previous 5 million System points for one deduction, it has now increased by another 10 million...
And by killing that Demon Beast at the Major Accomplishment of Earth Respect Realm Master, Lu Xuan directly obtained 30 million System points!
When Lu Xuan saw this gain, his inner killing desire directly escalated to the extreme, almost breaking through the restraints of reason.
At that moment, Lu Xuan truly almost disregarded everything and headed straight for Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to start a massacre.
After all, as far as he knew, there were as many as nine Great Demon Ancestors like Ancestor Yu Huang in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Moreover, beneath these Great Demon Ancestors, there were hundreds of Demon Beasts at the Earth Respect Realm Master level.
Compared to the mere twenty-something Earth Respect Realm Masters among humans, this number was simply a world of difference.
However, thanks to the detailed explanations of the five human Immortal Sovereigns, many secrets of the Heavenly Martial World Domain were revealed before Lu Xuan.
It turned out that the three Demon Saints in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain had strength equivalent to the Human Race's Third Cycle Red Dust Immortals.
And the Human Race's Five Great Immortal Sovereigns were also at the Realm of Third Cycle Red Dust Immortal.
What made Lu Xuan even more apprehensive was that within the forbidden area of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, there seemed to remain terrifying residual thoughts comparable to Ninth Cycle Red Dust Immortals.
Of course, the Human Race naturally also possessed such foundation!
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's heart tightened. In the end, reason overcame impulse. He forcefully suppressed his inner desires and dismissed the adventurous idea.
"And these two Immortal Artifacts..."
Lu Xuan's gaze fell upon the Immortal Artifacts he held in his hands, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
He had almost no hesitation and instantly confirmed in his mind!
"Extract!"
