Chapter 287 Immortal Bridge
"My two Taoist friends, please share your Taoism." Shan Beishu laughed and took the initiative to step forward to greet them.
"Our friend's cultivation is much stronger than ours." Ding Huan smiled and clasped his fists towards Shan Beishu.
Shan Beishu said in an apologetic tone:
"Just now I felt that your Dao was extraordinary, and I couldn't help but spy on you. Please forgive me."
Ding Huan laughed: "Now that you've said it, it's not prying."
Shan Beishu already had a good impression of Ding Huan, and now after hearing what Ding Huan said, he liked him even better.
If he didn't say this, it would be like he was taking advantage of others and pretending to be dead. Since he said it, the other party's words meant that he was allowed to observe.
This allows him to have no psychological burden.
"Dan Beishu from Datong College greets the two fellow Taoists." Shan Beishu introduced himself seriously.
Very familiar name.
"I'm Ding Huan, the leader of the Blue Star Sect in the Taoist world. Nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Shan." Ding Huan felt that Shan Beishu's name was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember it for a moment.
Fu Qijian already knew who the other party was, and quickly stepped forward and bowed:
"Fu Qijian, the successor of the Seven Swords of Daxu, greets Senior Shan."
Shan Beishu laughed:
"It seems that you know who I am. As for your master, I seem to have met him once a long time ago. If I am not mistaken, your master went to the Fourth Sea."
Fu Qijian quickly said:
"When Datong College was still around, the Three Heavens Star Continent was in good order. But now, there is murder and robbery everywhere, and the atmosphere is foul. The Three Heavens Star Continent is getting worse day by day, which is really sad."
Shan Beishu sighed:
"I will definitely avenge this."
Ding Huan suddenly understood:
"I remember now, you were the one who went to the Ascension Tower to ascend to the Immortal Realm, but your Ascension Ring was gone, so you didn't make it to the Immortal Realm?"
Shan Beishu's eyes were dim:
"Yes, I am the unlucky one."
Ding Huan laughed:
"You are not the only unlucky one. I heard there is also Cang Yongqian and a woman of Qin Huan. But you, wasn't your Datong College destroyed by Jiuyuan? You don't want to seek revenge, so you just leave like this?"
Cang Yongqian, Cen Huan and Shan Beishu all know each other, and not only do they know each other, they also have a good relationship.
But how did Ding Huan know that Datong College was destroyed by Jiu Yuan?
Shan Beishu immediately asked:
"How do you know that my Datong College was destroyed by Jiuyuan?"
Jiuyuan handled this matter extremely secretly, and he was indeed very confused as to how Ding Huan knew about it.
Ding Huan said calmly:
"It doesn't matter how I know this. What matters is that your sect was destroyed, but you wanted to escape without any intention of revenge. This is not right."
Shan Beishu sighed again:
"I am just a perfect earthly immortal. Do you know how many perfect earthly immortals there are in Jiuyuan?
It’s a pity that I can’t sense the next realm. If I can break through the Earthly Immortal and step into the next realm, I will definitely go to Jiuyuan.
Now even if I want to seek revenge, I will just die. If I know I will die, why should I go?"
"Jiuyuan is so powerful?" Ding Huan was moved.
He and Fu Qijian had offended Jiuyuan deeply.
Shan Beishu sneered:
"It will be more powerful than you think."
"Senior, isn't Earthly Immortal the highest realm below the Immortal Realm? How come there is a next realm? The next realm is only available after ascending to the Immortal Realm, right?"
Fu Qijian on the side couldn't help but ask.
Shan Beishu chuckled:
“If Earthly Immortals are the highest realm below the Immortal Realm, we don’t need to rely on the Ascension Ring of the Ascension Tower to ascend.
Because we cannot sense the next realm in the Three Heavens Star Land, we have to use the Ascension Tower to ascend.
Now that the ascension ring of the ascension tower has disappeared, we who have cultivated to the perfection of earthly immortals can only leave the Three Heavens Star Land.
The fact is that we came to the Kaitian battlefield to look for immortal fate, just to find the next realm, not to really find a place to ascend directly."
Fu Qijian didn't say anything.
He knew very well how desperate it was when a cultivator reached the pinnacle of cultivation and could not sense the next realm.
His master was like this in the beginning. He cultivated to the perfection of human immortality, but he could not sense the realm of earthly immortal no matter what.
He had experienced the same thing not long ago.
When he was preparing to overcome the tribulation, the shackles of his earthly immortal cultivation were gone, and he could no longer sense the great principles of the earthly immortal realm. The frustration in this can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
"Are the rules of heaven and earth of the Three Heavens Star Continent broken or incomplete?" Ding Huan asked.
Shan Beishu nodded appreciatively:
“Yes, that’s why we have no hope of ascending to the immortal world.
You can understand this problem, and the path you cultivate seems to be guided in this direction. I think maybe you can really find the next realm in the future."
"If there really is a next realm, I believe Ding Huan will be able to sense it and cultivate it." Fu Qijian said firmly.
He couldn't sense the Earthly Immortal Realm, wasn't it Ding Huan who helped him?
Ding Huan asked:
"Senior, you came from Datong Academy. Do you know what realm is after becoming a Earthly Immortal?"
Shan Beishu took a deep breath and said word by word: "Immortal Bridge."
"Immortal Bridge?" Ding Huan felt that this didn't sound like a realm, but a method. Shan Beishu said affirmatively:
"That's right, it's the Immortal-Mortal Bridge. For ordinary mortals like us to cultivate, we must have mortal roots. But no matter how much we cultivate mortal roots, they are still just mortal roots.
If you want to become an immortal, you must first cut off your mortal roots. No matter whether you are a human immortal or an earthly immortal, those who cultivate with the help of mortal roots are all fake immortals.
Only after truly breaking the mortal roots can one develop immortal roots, break through the shackles of mortals, and embark on the immortal path. This is called the foundation of Nirvana."
Ding Huan frowned slightly. Cut off the mortal roots?
He has no spiritual roots, the reason he can practice is because he has used gene fusion to become genetic spiritual roots. Is this also considered an ordinary root?
There must be something he didn't understand.
Seeing Ding Huan lost in thought, neither Shan Beishu nor Fu Qijian disturbed him.
Especially Shan Beishu, he has cultivated to the perfection of Earth Immortal. After comprehending the great principles of Ding Huan's cultivation, he was able to improve his strength. This shows that Ding Huan's practice is extraordinary.
It also shows that Ding Huan's Taoism may have reached a level beyond that of an earthly immortal, and perhaps it is the bridge between immortals and mortals that can cut off all mortal roots.
Half an incense stick of time passed before Ding Huan woke up from his thoughts.
"Friend Shan, where are you going now?" Ding Huan asked.
Shan Beishu was the most powerful being he had ever seen since he arrived at the Three Heavens Star Continent.
In fact, Shan Beishu really wanted to follow Ding Huan, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
If he said he wanted to follow Ding Huan, even an idiot would know that he wanted to follow Ding Huan to comprehend Ding Huan's great Dao and methods, and then cut off his mortal roots and step onto the bridge between immortals and mortals.
"I do have an idea. Senior Shan has nowhere to go now. Why don't you follow Sect Master Ding and explore the world like me?"
Fu Qijian didn't talk much, but he was very thoughtful and understood Shan Beishu's thoughts.
He knew the situation that Ding Huan and he would soon face. As long as they got out of the Kaitian battlefield, they would face Jiu Yuan directly.
With the strength of the two of them, they are still not able to deal with Jiu Yuan.
If they want to succeed, they must win over more powerful people. Shan Beishu and Jiu Yuan have a deep hatred for each other and are the best allies.
When Shan Beishu heard Fu Qijian's words, he was overjoyed and his favorable impression of Fu Qijian increased sharply:
"Friend Fu, we are both earthly immortals, so please don't call me senior. Why not call me by my name? This way, we can all seem familiar with each other."
Ding Huan thought that if Shan Beishu could accompany him, his chances of going to the Sichonghai Canyon would increase greatly.
Thinking of this, he clasped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoist Shan, Qi Jian is right. You are alone and weak, so why don't you join us?
Qijian and I killed an important figure of Jiuyuan before, and we will go to war with Jiuyuan in the future. Your sect was also destroyed by Jiuyuan, so why don’t we join forces?”
"You killed Jiuyuan's people? Who was it?" Shan Beishu asked puzzledly.
Ding Huan chuckled:
"The Lord of Jiuyuan City, Wang Pingdao."
Shan Beishu stared at the two of them in a daze for a long time before he said speechlessly, "The ignorant are fearless."
I'm afraid that until now, Ding Huan and Fu Qijian have not figured out what it means to kill the lord of Jiuyuan City.
This means a fight to the death with Jiuyuan.
Seeing that the two didn't seem to care much, Shan Beishu said:
"Jiu Yuan has great ambitions, and the planets he wants to occupy will definitely not be limited to the Three Heavens Star Continent.
The flag they set down in the Three Heavens Star Land is the Lord of Jiuyuan City. Don't think that just because this Lord was killed, you can just replace him with someone else."
"Isn't it?" Ding Huan wondered.
Shan Beishu shook his head:
“No, the elders of my Datong Academy told me that Jiuyuan City controls the main destiny of the Three Heavens Star Continent, and the mayor of Jiuyuan City is related to this destiny.
Killing the Lord of Jiuyuan City is equivalent to depriving Jiuyuan of the Three Heavens Star Continent..."
Shan Beishu himself also paused abruptly when he spoke here, as if he understood something.
"Are you saying that Jiuyuan wants to deprive the luck of an entire world?" Ding Huan couldn't believe it. This was something he could think of but couldn't do.
By depriving a world of its luck, he was able to obtain some information from the scroll, but it was too obscure.
Shan Beishu said solemnly:
“Before, I always thought that what the elder meant was that Jiu Yuan wanted to control the Three Heavens Star Land and be above the Three Heavens Star Land, so as to enslave the Three Heavens Star Land.
I just mentioned deprivation by accident, and I suddenly felt that something was wrong. What Sect Leader Ding said might be true, but it was a little too sensational.
Maybe what they deprive is not luck, but something else. We have too little contact with it to imagine what it is. "
Ding Huan said seriously:
"No matter what is taken away, it will be a disaster for the Three Heavens Star Continent. What Fellow Daoist Shan said is very likely true. I always feel that the Wangping Knife is a bit strange.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, let's just treat it as true. After we get out of here, we'll find a way to destroy Jiu Yuan first."
"Can you get out of here?" Shan Beishu looked at Ding Huan and Fu Qijian in disbelief.
