Chapter 54: The Great Tomb
"What's this?"
Chen Luo stared at the words in Changqing Zhenren's hand, but he couldn't remember the shape of the words after looking at them for a long time.
Every time he looked at it, the shape of the word was different. It gave him the feeling that the word was alive and could not be recorded by rote.
"The mark of a loser."
Zhenren Changqing took out a white jade slab from his arms, put his five fingers on the slab, and printed the words on it.
After the engraving was completed, the golden light on the text disappeared. When Chen Luo looked at it, he found that he could see the shape of the word clearly.
The word "extreme".
"The Baixian Cave is extremely strict in selecting disciples. On the surface, everyone has three chances, but in reality, there is only one chance."
Master Changqing seemed to recall something and said something with a hint of emotion.
"Isn't the teacher the immortal from Baixian Cave?"
Chen Luo asked curiously.
From the moment they met, this Changqing Zhenren gave him a mysterious feeling. The immortal-like means were not possessed by warriors. The specific difference could not be observed by the naked eye. It was not like the direct power of warriors that could be seen by the naked eye. It was more like a kind of magic hidden in the mountains. It could be seen, but the depth could not be explored.
“I don’t know if it counts.”
Changqing Zhenren put down the white jade slab, picked up another jade book, and extracted the text in the same way. Unlike the text in the Nineteenth Young Master's jade pendant, the "immortal text" in the jade book was more brilliant. In addition to the golden luster, there was actually a faint aura hidden in it.
Zhenren Changqing raised his index finger and looked carefully at the immortal text in his hand.
"Huh? It's been called before."
Zhenren Changqing looked at the words in his hand, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and finally his gaze fell on Chen Luo, and he immediately understood.
“I’ve accidentally inspired it once before.”
Upon seeing this, Chen Luo immediately realized that the tampering of the Jade Book had been discovered, so he simply recounted the incident of being hunted down by Taoist Li Chen.
"It's luck. Not everyone can withstand the power of immortal text."
Taoist Changqing smiled and did not ask any further questions, and continued with the previous topic.
"Compared to the immortal in Baixian Cave that you imagine, I am just a seeker of immortality who has just entered the Dao."
After Master Changqing finished engraving the text.
He called the little monkey to make a cup of tea for him and Chen Luo respectively.
"The real Baixian Cave Immortal has long disappeared. I found a cultivation method in the ruins of Baixian Cave and became a casual cultivator by accident. If you really want to count, I can barely be considered a cultivator of Baixian Cave."
"ah?"
Chen Luo was at a loss for a moment.
He spent so much effort, but the person he saw was not the real immortal from Baixian Cave. Wouldn't this jade book be wasted? Thinking of this, his heart tightened and he subconsciously looked at the jade book.
"Don't think too much. I released all these immortal texts. To you, I am indeed the immortal of Baixian Cave."
Upon seeing this, Master Changqing explained with a smile.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic."
After the casual chat, Zhenren Changqing began to tell Chen Luo about some real inheritance.
"You have witnessed the power of immortal text once before. How does it feel?"
"It's terrifying. A master is as fragile as an ant in front of the power of immortal texts."
Chen Luo considered his words carefully and responded seriously.
"The Grandmaster is already the most powerful person among all martial artists. His spirit, energy and soul are all in one. If we fight head-on, I am actually no match for him."
Zhenren Changqing spoke.
"How is that possible?"
Chen Luo was the first one who didn't believe it.
He had seen the power of "Xianwen". The light blue energy that erupted in the mine was like the abyss of the ocean, instantly pulling people in.
A top master like Taoist Li Chen couldn't even resist the power of the immortal text and was directly wiped out.
Now, Master Changqing actually told him that he was no match for the martial arts master in a head-on confrontation. If this was said out loud, no one would believe it. Not only Chen Luo didn't believe it, but everyone in the entire White Dragon City wouldn't believe it either.
"I'm talking about head-on combat."
Chang Qing Zhenren smiled and stretched out his hand, handing the stone tablet he had just carved to Chen Luo. After the two immortal characters were carved, they turned out to be the same word "极".
"Although the Grandmaster's power is strong, it is not in the same world as mine. If I want to kill the Grandmaster, he won't be able to see me even if I stand in front of him."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the stone slab, and the two characters "极" on it suddenly came to life.
Chen Luo, who was sitting opposite, felt the scene in front of him change. He was back in the mine where he had fled for his life, and the Taoist priest Li Chen was about to catch up with him.
'Hallucination.'
The information from the external brain came immediately, making him wake up instantly.
"Now, do you think that a master can meet a teacher?"
"Hallucination?"
This made Chen Luo more or less disappointed.
The method displayed by Chang Qing Zhenren shattered his fantasy of the immortal way. The immortal cultivator he dreamed of was the kind who could ride the wind and sword and roam freely in the world. In his opinion, this method that only relied on illusion was no different from that of a quack.
"Of course it's impossible. The immortal path is vast and divided into different realms. If you can cultivate the legendary golden elixir, you can naturally fly on clouds and mist, and control the wind and lightning."
Master Changqing explained with a smile.
He just demonstrated a little trick to Chen Luo, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by him.
But it doesn't matter, the road of cultivation is a long one, and once you start, you will naturally understand the mystery. As a teacher, what he has to do is to "teach, accept, and resolve doubts."
"How are the realms of immortal cultivators divided?"
"Each has its own emphasis and path. However, all the different paths lead to the same path. It is nothing more than training Qi, building a foundation, and forming an elixir."
"Then what realm are you in, teacher?"
"Me? I'm a Qi Refiner, I guess."
A hint of sadness flashed across Master Changqing's eyes.
In the eyes of the dignitaries in Bailong City, he was a high and mighty immortal who could support a force as big as the Tiger Power Escort Agency with just one sentence. But in the world of immortal cultivation, he was just a beginner. And a beginner with no way forward.
It is difficult to practice cultivation in the land of Yue. There were indeed cultivators in this land a long time ago, but later these cultivators disappeared for various reasons.
The most common rumor is that he left.
Since the land of Yue State was no longer suitable for spiritual practice, those breath-eaters naturally went to places with more abundant spiritual energy.
Changqing Zhenren had thought about leaving here, but his cultivation level was not enough to support him to cross the sea. As his lifespan was consumed, his hope of leaving became increasingly slim. To this day, he basically had no hope. He just wanted to pass on what he had learned before he passed away, so that his cultivation would not be in vain.
"I have been accepting disciples all these years. Do you know why?"
“I don’t know.”
Chen Luo was also very surprised that the other party had such means.
"Because the land we live in is no longer suitable for cultivators, and my life span is almost coming to an end."
No longer suitable? The Land of Nowhere?
"Why."
Chen Luo felt something was wrong.
"Because the land under our feet is a tomb. A big tomb. This big tomb has sucked away all the spiritual energy of this land, making it a place without any spiritual energy." Taoist Changqing told Chen Luo the results of his exploration over the years. His purpose was also to hope that when he wanted to escape in the future, he would take fewer detours.
"tomb?"
A light bulb went off in Chen Luo's head, and an unprecedented idea popped up in his mind.
If it's a tomb, there should be a brain inside...
