His body became lighter and lighter, and the chains wrapped around his body broke one by one.

Chen Luo's body slowly emerged from the long river, his feet stepped on the water, and he walked towards the river bank with firm steps. The sound around his ears disappeared, replaced by endless fairy light. His body began to transform, and a ray of gold appeared on his body.

The immortal soul transforms into the infinite golden immortal.

The fourth realm of True Immortal, 'Longevity', was called Golden Immortal in ancient times.

All kinds of insights came to my mind.

When his right foot stepped on the shore, the sound of the river water behind him suddenly disappeared. Looking back, the river water was no longer turbulent, and the surface of the water was calm, as if everything he had experienced before was just a dream.

Countless familiar auras lingered in the river, and as he left, they returned to silence. His departure did not affect these people in any way. All the chains related to him had been broken, and in the life memories of these people, Chen Luo's "existence" would be replaced by another symbol.

"That's. me?"

Standing on the shore, Chen Luo looked at the familiar face slowly sinking into the river, and suddenly a flash of enlightenment arose in his heart.

Shell.

The so-called immortality means leaving the long river of life and no longer being washed away by time.

The traces of the past will remain in the world, forming a new body. This body is the symbol of "the one who has attained the Tao", just like the "shedding of the flesh, attaining the Tao and becoming an immortal" recorded in "The Record of Immortal Cultivation". After the immortal attains the Tao, the flesh remains in the world.

In fact, this is not the body of an immortal, but the 'past'.

Everything that exists has traces.

Immortals are no exception.

Chen Luo thought of Wang Chengguan in the Emperor's Tomb World, the old friend from the Kingdom of Yue. He didn't understand it at first, but now he sees that Wang Chengguan is not a cultivator at all, but the "shell" left by the Immortal Emperor Changqing, the evil thoughts that he killed when he attained enlightenment.

The Immortal Emperor Changqing thought he was troublesome, so he sealed him in his "heart". After his death, his heart evolved into a world, and the sealed "evil thoughts" naturally appeared in that world. However, as time passed, the seal gradually loosened, allowing Wang Chengguan to escape.

It was a pity that even if he escaped, Wang Chengguan could not leave forever, as the power of the Immortal Emperor Changqing had not disappeared, so after his life was over, he returned to the wooden house of the Yue Kingdom and became the 'evil thoughts' sealed by the Immortal Emperor.

For so many years, Wang Chengguan has been trying to find a way to escape the seal.

The mark left on Chen Luo's body was an attempt on his part. Unfortunately, Chen Luo used it to block the lightning, and he lost some power in vain.

"The remains left by the Immortal Emperor Changqing are Wang Chengguan, so what are the remains of Zhang Chengdao?"

Chen Luo's mind moved and his aura changed.

Soon, he sensed another breath in the river.

That is the immortal artifact 'River of Rebirth'!

Old Monster Zhang was even more ruthless than the Immortal Emperor Changqing. He fused his remains with the underworld and refined it into the "River of Rebirth". It was precisely because of this special property that the "River of Rebirth" would ignore the bloodline of the Zhang family and would devour the entire family and poison the outside world as soon as it had the chance.

Crash

The river flowed, and some waves hit the shore and splashed onto Chen Luo's shoes.

Beyond the long river, there is nothingness.

The Three Realms, Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and the cycle of reincarnation are all not included. The "river bank" that Chen Luo stepped on was his cognition and the foundation of his immortal path. Every step of accumulation made a long time ago became the cornerstone at this moment.

Looking down, the foundation under my feet was extremely solid.

Even if the river water hits it, it cannot wash it away, and at most it can take away some dust.

"This is only the fourth step of the True Immortal, the Immortal Emperor."

Sitting cross-legged, Chen Luo slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in Zhang's cave, with a foul air surrounding him that he had never felt before.

"Ancestor, spare my life."

"I am Shiji!"

The cries of begging for mercy from the three Zhang family monsters came from their sleeves. The power displayed by Chen Luo was beyond their comprehension. The familiar imperial might reminded them of the long-lost ancestor of the family. They thought that the ancestor had resurrected and returned to punish them, the unfilial descendants.

Chen Luoxu took two steps and appeared in mid-air.

After the breakthrough, he could fully use Zhang Chengdao's brain. The familiar imperial power swept across the entire cave, and all the past "memories" returned. The surging "River of Rebirth" below began to shrink rapidly, like a receding tide.

"Come back soon."

The sound spread throughout the entire cave, and in an instant, all the living beings in the cave heard the sound.

"Old ghost, forget it!"

Zhang Yunwei's eyes were red. She had put in so much effort and finally broke free from the first seal set by Zhang Chengdao. Now he wanted her to go back with just one sentence. How could such an easy thing happen in this world?

"When we first met, I should have given up everything and fought him to the death."

A trace of regret welled up in my heart.

Zhang Yunwei didn't know Chen Luo's ability, she just thought he was the reincarnation of Zhang Chengdao. Now after returning to the family and inheriting everything from the past, she wants to take control of herself again.

Chen Luo chuckled, stretched out his right hand, and gently grabbed downwards.

Boom! !

The entire river turned upside down under this move. Countless ghosts emerged from the bottom of the river, carrying the river water backwards, turning into a long river that rolled back and flew into the sky.

"Come back here!!"

Zhang Yunwei's face was filled with shock and anger. She had never expected that the means she had prepared for so long would be vulnerable in front of Zhang Chengdao. The other party didn't even look at her straight in the eye, and with a casual word and a wave of his hand, he crushed her efforts of tens of thousands of years.

The ghosts that I used to control like my arms now became so strange.

Except for a few that surrounded her, the vast majority of the rest turned into river water and fell into the hands of the figure in the sky.

"Why is this happening? I have clearly removed his mark."

Zhang Yunwei looked dazed.

The young master of the Wu family, who was standing behind her, stretched out his right hand and placed it on her shoulder. Zhang Yunwei was stunned and turned back subconsciously.

When their eyes met, time seemed to have returned to that day.

The wedding night.

Wu Ling looked at himself in the same way at that time. He just thought that this man was extremely stupid. His excellent Xuanyin physique was turned into a useless body by him.

"you"

Zhang Yunwei opened her mouth and a smile appeared on Wu Ling's face.

The river water flowed back, and when Chen Luo withdrew his hand, he found that a black bronze wine jar had appeared in his palm.

This is the essence of the 'River of Rebirth'.

The wine jar is the remains of what Zhang Chengdao cut off in the past, and the river water inside is transformed from the underworld.

Zhang Yunwei's thoughts were interrupted, and her eyes turned red again. She turned around and glared fiercely at the figure in the sky.

"Zhang Chengdao, don't ever think about it."

Bang!

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yunwei's body exploded and turned into a black aura that sank into the cup. Only Wu Ling was left, standing behind him in a trance, with his right hand still hanging in the air. But the woman from before had already disappeared.

Looking up at Chen Luo in the sky, a hint of relief flashed in Wu Ling's eyes.

"I have some connection with your father, and now I will set you free."

Chen Luo's voice came from above. He had previously borrowed the Wu family's library to complete a lot of inheritance, which saved him a lot of work. Now that the Rebirth River fell into his hands, it was just a piece of cake for him to release a ghost bound by the river.

"No."

Wu Ling chuckled, and his body suddenly exploded, turning into a black dust, and sank into the bronze wine jar along with Zhang Yunwei. (End of this chapter)
