"Old lady, do you think that guest just now looked like an immortal?"

Chen Liu didn't notice it at first, but when his hand touched the bowl of noodles, he suddenly felt something. He turned his head and looked at the back of the man leading the donkey in the alley.

At this glance, the wonderful feeling became more and more obvious.

"Immortal, immortal! I think you are insane. There are no immortals in this world! If there really are immortals, why didn't any immortal come to claim the high positions, generous salaries, gold, silver and beautiful women promised by the emperor a few years ago?"

"How can the things that immortals pursue be the same as those of us mortals? Gold, silver, treasures, high positions and generous salaries are just dirt in the eyes of immortals! Even beautiful women are nothing but dry bones."

The stall owner put down what he was holding, turned around and ran towards the ancestral house next to him.

After opening the door, Chen Liu rummaged around for a long time and finally dragged out two large boxes from a cellar.

These boxes are filled with the Chen family's genealogy.

It is strange to say that these things have not changed at all over the past few hundred years. On the surface, these genealogies are just ordinary pieces of paper. The only characteristic is that they are impervious to water and fire, and time does not decay. This characteristic has kept the genealogy of the Chen family at a relatively new perspective. When the old man was a gambler, he wanted to pawn the genealogy, but unfortunately the pawnshop owner did not believe that these genealogies of the Chen family were old items, so he did not let anyone buy them.

When I opened the box, I saw piles of neatly arranged books inside.

It records the life trajectories of some important ancestors in the clan, including the year they were born, the year they were transferred to another position, the official rank they held, etc. When Chen Liu was a child, his favorite thing to do was to look through the clan tree.

Because his family was too poor and his father had no money to buy him books, the family tree became the only book he could read in his childhood.

Skipping the last few books, Chen Liu quickly found a scroll at the bottom of the box.

He had seen this painting when he was a child. It recorded the first generation ancestor of their Chen family, the immortal mentioned by Chen Liu. Chen Liu had always believed in the existence of immortals in the world because he had seen this painting.

call!!

Chen Liu picked up the scroll from the bottom of the box and blew away the dust on it. Then he pulled the scroll and slowly opened it.

"Why are you so crazy so late at night? You don't even want to do business."

The old woman also followed in. She didn't understand what had happened to Chen Liu.

In the past, Chen Liu would often talk about the genealogy of the Chen family and immortals with others. But it was the first time she had seen someone abandon their stall and run home to look through the genealogy like today.

"It's him!"

"It's him indeed."

Chen Liu looked at the person in the scroll with shock.

The Chen family was also a noble family back then, and the painter who was responsible for painting Chen Luo's portrait was no ordinary person. Although it was outlined in ink, the face and temperament of the person in the painting were all vividly portrayed on the paper, and even after hundreds of years, these things have not changed. The old woman standing behind Chen Liu also saw the face of the person in the painting.

After seeing this, she was also stunned. If it was just a similar appearance, it could be explained as coincidence, but that kind of special temperament was definitely not something that could be imitated by someone who looked similar.

"Is he really a god? Your family's ancestor?"

This incredible thing made the old woman a little overwhelmed.

Chen Liu was so excited that he didn't care about his wife's thoughts. He took the scroll and ran back to the alley as fast as he could. The wooden barrel for cooking soup was still steaming, and the lantern hanging in front of the stall swayed gently in the night breeze.

But the figure leading the donkey had long disappeared.

Chen Liu searched around for a long time but couldn't find the other person, and finally had to return to the noodle stall in dejection.

"Didn't you find it?"

Looking at the returning Chen Liu, the old woman couldn't help but ask.

"No."

Chen Liu sighed and sat back at the table where Chen Luo had eaten noodles. However, the copper coin on the table had turned into a palm-sized purple clay gourd at some point.

Chen Liu and his wife looked at the gourd that suddenly appeared in surprise and picked it up carefully.

It's strange.

Before, the couple went back to the house, and such a big gourd was placed on the table, but no passerby saw it. Even when he held the gourd in his hand, the people passing by did not even look at it, as if in their eyes, the gourd did not exist at all.

“This is an elixir!!”

Chen Liu opened the lid of the gourd, and two round pills rolled out from it.

After leaving Qingya County, Chen Luo went to Shangjing City.

Afterwards, I went to the places where Xie Shuang and Du Jian passed away. Hundreds of years later, the inheritance that these two old friends insisted on throughout their lives was ultimately not passed down. Whether it was the bamboo forest created by the Green Bamboo Fairy or the Taoist temple left by the Heart Fire Taoist, they all became ruins.

Not every generation can find offspring with spiritual roots.

Especially in the land of Yue, once there are no descendants with spiritual roots to inherit, the so-called immortal cultivation books will immediately become waste paper, and even the martial arts secrets will be inferior to them.

The most ruthless thing is time.

Desolate mountains and lonely graves.

The mountains are covered with fallen leaves.

Chen Luo lit two incense sticks for his two old friends, and then left. Before going down the mountain, Chen Luo saw an old man in a dragon robe at the foot of the mountain, and there were many people around him. Most of these people were martial arts masters, and one or two of them were wearing Taoist costumes. Judging from their appearance, these two people really looked like immortals, but there was no spiritual energy on them.

Chen Luo just glanced at them and ignored them.

"Who is that person?"

Looking at Chen Luo's receding back, the old man in dragon robe frowned and asked.

“Maybe he’s from the mountains.”

A fat monk with a wealthy face said something. He had seen Chen Luo a long time ago, but in the eyes of these people, Chen Luo was also a liar like them, so naturally he didn't want to add more competitors to himself.

"How did he find this place?"

The elegant old man looked at Chen Luo's departing figure, feeling somewhat unhappy. This man was the current emperor of Great Chu, who had been in power for 31 years and held great power, deciding life and death. Over the years, he had opened the Grand Canal, promoted the imperial examination, deterred the barbarians, suppressed the clans, and pushed his power and prestige to the peak.

It’s a pity that time is merciless, and even someone as strong as him gradually feels powerless.

Over the years, the King of Chu has been seeking immortality and trying to find a way to prolong his life.

Because of his hobby, the royal family of Da Chu has recruited many "talented people" in recent years. The people around him are the "masters" recruited by the royal family of Da Chu in recent years. They came to this barren mountain this time to find the immortal tomb left by the former Yue Kingdom, trying to find the way to immortality from it.

"When the Kingdom of Yue was destroyed, many people survived. This person might be the descendant of these people."

The Taoist beside Emperor Chu also spoke.

"Remnants of the previous dynasty, how exactly does Mingjingtai do things?"

Emperor Chu withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked towards the mountain.

The moment they stepped onto the mountain, a strange light flashed by, and the few lonely graves that had originally stood there were all hidden by the power of the formation. They searched the mountain several times inside and out, but could not find the graves that Mingjingtai had found.

Chen Luo left Shangjing City.

The traces of the former Yue Kingdom have been completely destroyed by the new dynasty. Even in the capital city of Shangjing, it is difficult to find traces of the old times.

Half a month later.

Chen Luo left the land of Yue State and returned to the emperor's tomb from the ancient tomb.

Leave quietly.

Just like when I came here, no one knew.

Returning to the world of immortal cultivation, familiar spiritual energy surged in from all directions. After staying in the land of Yue, even a place like Tiannan, where the spiritual energy was thin, could be considered a holy place for immortal cultivation.

"Brother, I'll see you next time."

While leaving, Chen Luo collected some of Brother Changqing's brain.

The degree of perfection has been further improved, but at this point, partial perfection is not enough to affect Chen Luo's overall strength.

After leaving the dragon tomb, Chen Luo flew eastward all the way to the deep sea.

There was no living person in this area. Apart from a few flying birds and a school of fish under the water, Chen Luo was the only one left in the world. He opened his hands and released his aura unscrupulously.

Heavenly calamity!

Dark clouds gathered, and a purple thunder dragon rushed down

A few days later.

Chen Luo left the sea. For him, who had experienced a heavenly tribulation, a simple thunder tribulation was not enough to pose any threat to him. He didn't even need to set up formations or prepare magical instruments to overcome the tribulation.

After absorbing the power of the thunder tribulation, his physical strength was promoted to perfection and he officially broke through to the initial stage of He Dao.

The three phases have become one, and at this point, the accumulation brought by the journey to Jiegu has been completely digested.

The only thing that puzzled Chen Luo was that the Heart Demon Tribulation still did not appear. It seemed that after reaching the He Dao Realm, the Heart Demon Tribulation completely disappeared.

"Brother, you are finally back!"

Qionghua School.

The flower-backed turtle looked at Chen Luo who fell from the sky, with an excited expression on his face. This time, being chased by Zi Ruyi was really the most dangerous experience he had ever experienced since he started robbing tombs. The background of the immortals also reminded him that before finding a way to break the immortals' tracking, these forces should not be provoked for the time being.

"Master."

Ao Ye gritted his teeth and walked forward to say hello.

The other disciples of the Qionghua Sect were also standing below, and they all looked at Chen Luo in admiration.

For these later disciples of the Qionghua Sect, Chen Luo is an ancestor-level existence. It was he who single-handedly turned the tide and transformed the Qionghua Sect from a sect that was nearly destroyed by the Spirit Pool into the current overlord of the Tiannan Region.

Chen Luo’s current prestige in the Qionghua Sect is even higher than that of the seven Qionghua ancestors in the past.

"The master has prepared a forbidden land talisman for you, go there by yourself."

Chen Luo took out a stone talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Ao Ye.

This stone talisman was made temporarily by him, and it contained a brain created by the "Reverse Possession Method". Ao Ye only needed to activate this talisman to be transported to a closed space, where only the clone created by the "Reverse Possession Method" would keep him company.

If you don’t break through the Nascent Soul stage, you will never be able to come out.

In order to prevent Ao Ye from being lazy, Chen Luo even made his clone look like him. He believed that with his master accompanying him day and night, he would definitely practice hard and change his lazy habits.

Ao Ye looked bitter as he took the stone talisman and took a look at it.

"Can I?"

call out!

Before he could finish his words, he saw Chen Luo waving his sleeves, and the stone talisman in his hand lit up by itself, turning into a black vortex that sucked him in.

The scene suddenly became quiet. (End of this chapter)
