Chapter 123 A Will to Die
Lu Qingyun used his magic to calm the young Taoist's mind.
"No need to rush, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"
The young Taoist priest quickly presented a jade slip and then personally said...
"When the Lord was in seclusion, a secret realm emerged in Pingyang. It is said that Lord Niu Gao and Mu Shan of the Demonic Sect fought there. Afterwards, our Great Yun and the Demonic Sect each occupied a side around the Pingyang secret realm and waited for it to open."
Lu Qingyun nodded.
What the Taoist boy said was exactly the same as what was written on the jade slip.
He had a rough understanding of this matter. It was because the secret realm left behind by the True Man Qingmu thousands of years ago had reappeared. This secret realm even contained a great opportunity that would allow Qi Refining cultivators to ascend to the Foundation Establishment stage in one step.
The young Taoist priest left respectfully.
"The Azure Wood Secret Realm, what a magnificent Azure Wood Secret Realm!"
Lu Qingyun used the Water Mirror Technique, and a smooth water mirror immediately reflected his face.
The coldness remained, but the few strands of white hair at the ends of her head could not be concealed.
呲!
A dark blue serpent slithered through the mansion.
Lu Qingyun activated his magic power and suddenly unleashed the supernatural ability [Spirit-Seizing Wood]!
The dark blue spirit snake appeared unremarkable, yet wherever it passed, all life was drained away.
Then, Lu Qingyun's fingers never stopped.
The life force drawn from it coalesced into a ball, quickly condensing into a greenish-blue giant tens of meters tall.
Supernatural power: [Wooden Puppet]!
The magic was withdrawn, and the courtyard returned to silence.
A look of nostalgia, tinged with sadness, appeared on Lu Qingyun's face.
"The path to immortality is extremely difficult. Without the right opportunity or a next life, I fear I will never be able to cultivate the three supernatural powers in my entire life, let alone achieve the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Due to the influx of spirits into my body during the early stages of Qi Refining, the lifespan increase brought about by my cultivation progress has been greatly reduced, and even damaged. Now I only have a few years left to live. Looking back on my life, most of my years have been nothing but futile struggles."
Lu Qingyun muttered to himself, his voice growing softer and softer.
"But do I regret it?"
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, gazing at the clouds in the sky.
Looking towards the direction of the Cloud Mist Sect in the distance.
If he hadn't cultivated the path of immortality in this life, he could have lived a wealthy life in his hometown of Daliang, just like in his previous life, perhaps even holding a high-ranking official position, surrounded by many wonderful people, and laughing with his children.
Lu Qingyun shook his head, his eyes growing colder and more resolute.
No, I don't regret it.
"If I were to be seduced by the pleasures of mortals, I fear I would never attain immortality, even after a hundred lifetimes. What I desire is not to live like ordinary women and men, clinging to pitiful comforts."
"Though I live for a hundred lifetimes, the only thing I seek in my heart is to become an immortal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura surrounding Lu Qingyun grew increasingly fierce.
The dark blue magical power, as if it were alive, surrounded him, as if it were about to devour him and everything around him at any moment.
Lu Qingyun felt something.
He knew that a powerful figure was waiting after the completion of the "Ancient Wood Longevity Technique," waiting for his supernatural power, the "Wooden Puppet," to reach its full potential, or to launch an attack immediately upon his death.
Now, the supernatural powers of "Ten Thousand Trees Grow" and "Spirit-Seizing Wood" have both been cultivated to a high level.
Only the wooden puppet is barely at the beginner level.
The important figure was not in a hurry at all; however, the increasingly violent and uncontrollable dark cyan longevity power within his body was constantly asserting its dominance.
It seemed to be watching him with amusement at any moment, letting him struggle in his death throes, as if it were certain that he would take the initiative to push the supernatural power [Wooden Puppet] to perfection.
Gathering his magical power, the rampaging dark blue spirit snakes reluctantly returned to his body.
Lu Qingyun sneered.
"For decades, the day I've waited for has finally arrived!"
"In the past, I might have had to hide and avoid such a dangerous place, lest the world laugh at my name, Xuan Gui Dao Ren, once again. But now that my lifespan is coming to an end, it is time to find a place as my final resting place in this world!"
The important man wanted him as provisions, believing that he would not dare to give up his own life.
But he didn't know that when he emerged from seclusion and discovered his lifespan was nearing its end, Lu Qingyun had already—
They are prepared to die!
