"You were enlightened by the Immortal Lord Baopu?" The expressions of the group towards Jing Teng changed instantly. What an incredible opportunity it was to be enlightened by an immortal!
She is probably the only one in the world who has ever been in contact with Baopu Immortal Lord, no wonder so many people want her.
"What kind of person is Immortal Lord Baopu?" Zu'an couldn't help but ask. He had vaguely heard legends about him these days, but many of them were too unbelievable, so he just thought they were rumors. Now that he had come into close contact with him, he naturally wanted to ask about the truth.
"The Immortal Lord is an unparalleled talent in the Daoist sect. There are many schools of Daoist cultivation in the world, and each of them has a different path. Some are good at cultivating both body and mind, some are good at talismans and rituals, some are good at array formations and alchemy, and some are good at divination. Each one is profound and extensive. Many geniuses may not dare to call themselves proficient even after a lifetime of study. But the Immortal Lord has reached the pinnacle in all these fields."
"All domains?" The group was all taken aback. They were all considered leaders in the cultivation world, and naturally understood that the higher one progressed, the more energy required would increase exponentially, and even a slight improvement would often take a long time.
Take, for example, the exceptionally talented Jijiu. Although he is recognized as the most learned person in the world, the real number one person in the world is Zhao Hao.
Many people secretly regretted that if the Grand Master hadn't been distracted by other areas and had instead focused on cultivation, he might have achieved even greater success than Zhao Hao.
This shows that breadth and depth in a field are often mutually exclusive.
Now that we know that someone has reached the pinnacle in every field, how can we not be shocked?
“Indeed, he was the best in the world in every one of the six arts of cultivation.” Jing Teng spoke of the past, and a look of reverence appeared on his face. He was clearly admiring the Immortal Lord Baopu from the bottom of his heart.
After hearing this, everyone remained silent for a long time, slowly digesting this astonishing truth.
After a while, Qiu Honglei couldn't help but ask, "Did that immortal lord really become an immortal?"
Jing Teng nodded: "That's right, he did indeed become an immortal, and the whole world witnessed it. It's just a pity that I never saw him again after his ascension."
"Wasn't the path to immortality already severed?" Zu An couldn't help but ask. He had personally witnessed the severance of the path to immortality in the secret realm of the demon royal tomb. This world had also severed the path to immortality in ancient times, so why were there still people who could become immortals?
"This is something that all cultivators in the world want to know." Jing Teng sighed, his expression somewhat forlorn, as if he had recalled something sad.
"So everyone in the world wants to find you?" Zu An finally understood why he had encountered a constant stream of ghosts and monsters along the way. It turned out that the woman beside him was more precious than Tang Sanzang's flesh. No wonder she didn't dare to leave her territory before and even specially hired his group as bodyguards.
Jing Teng nodded and said coldly, "So now that you know the truth, you can choose to leave and stop caring about me. That doesn't mean you've broken your oath."
Zuan smiled slightly: "We're not the type to abandon our companions."
“That’s right,” Lian Qiu Honglei nodded in agreement. “Although I come from the Demonic Sect, people from the Demonic Sect are just as loyal and righteous as those who claim to be from prestigious sects.”
Vesso originally wanted to say something eloquent and impressive, but unfortunately, he lacked the cultural refinement. After thinking for a long time, he finally managed to stammer out, "Me too!"
Seeing the sincere looks in their eyes, Jing Teng's cold heart warmed up a little.
At this moment, Zu'an said, "Now that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, you'd better give a general overview of your main nemesis, so that we won't be caught off guard."
Now that things have come to this, Jing Teng didn't hide anything: "The first one to be targeted is of course the Ghost King. He covets the method of immortality that Bao Pu Immortal Lord possesses, so he wants to go to great lengths to obtain me."
Qiu Honglei was taken aback: "You possess the method of immortality that Immortal Baopu possesses?"
“Of course not. Back then, I was just a vine, but I happen to be the only one still alive who has had contact with the Immortal Lord. Naturally, the Ghost King wouldn’t let go of any opportunity,” Jing Teng explained.
The others thought about it and agreed; if they were in her shoes, they would definitely have doubted her too.
Zu'an suddenly realized: "Was that Nine True Words you used before also a technique of the Immortal Lord of Embracing Simplicity?"
Jing Teng nodded: "Back then, when the Immortal Lord saw my human form, he taught me some tricks to protect myself."
Qiu Honglei and Wei Su thought to themselves, "You're so beautiful, you definitely need some self-defense skills."
Zuan was indeed deep in thought. The Nine Syllable Mantra was no small trick, but since the other party was unwilling to talk about it, he did not press the matter further.
"How strong is that Ghost King?" Zu An asked instead.
Jing Teng replied, "Extremely strong, stronger than all of us combined. He is universally acknowledged as the person closest to becoming an immortal."
The group felt heavy-hearted. She had witnessed Zu An's actions along the way and knew much more about his strength than before, yet she still made such a judgment. This showed just how powerful the Ghost King was.
"Can ghosts become immortals?" Vesso exclaimed in surprise.
“All living beings in the world have the opportunity to become immortals, so why can’t ghosts?” Jing Teng replied.
Zu'an then inquired about the Ghost King's powerful abilities, but unfortunately Jing Teng had never fought against him and was unaware of these abilities.
“The only thing I’m certain of is that a large tomb was unearthed in Zhichuan recently. It used to be the cave where Immortal Lord Baopu cultivated, so the Ghost King definitely won’t let it go. However, the restrictions left by the Immortal Lord are extraordinary, and the Ghost King probably won’t be able to open them in a short time,” Jing Teng replied.
"A great tomb?" Qiu Honglei asked in confusion, "Didn't Immortal Lord Baopu ascend to immortality? How could there still be a great tomb?"
“I don’t know either. Some say it’s where he transformed into an immortal, while others say that the tomb was left by an ancient immortal. It was because he received the inheritance inside that he became an immortal…” Jing Teng sighed. “I’m just a vine, how would I know anything about the immortals?”
