Celestial Immortal

Chapter 1025: Underground Master

"It really is"

Chu Chen saw Fairy Biyou hesitating and looking troubled, and he immediately understood and felt enlightened.

In fact, when he first saw Fairy Biyou clearly having demonic energy and denying that she was troubled by demons, and then seeing demons attacking Biyou Palace, he had vague suspicions about this in his mind.

After all, the territory of a third-level **** is not something to be attacked casually, not to mention that Fairy Biyou is backed by the Dragon Palace of the West Sea and South China Sea, and her background and footwork are extraordinary. Halfway through the battle, if Fairy Biyou shakes people, she will shake the elders of the Dragon Palace. When it comes, the devil will be in trouble, and he will die if he is not careful.

For example, just now Chu Chen was able to easily kill two third-level demons, and his magic weapon [Blood Pool Hell Rosary] could easily keep the "Yihuang Demon Lord" behind. Thanks to Biyou Fairy, who mobilized the power of the divine realm to block the The void slowed down the opponent's escape, and with secret help, he was able to kill the demons effortlessly.

 This is where a divine domain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Without any major interests involved, how could the demon attack Biyou Palace casually?

At this critical moment, the demon lord from outside the territory joined forces with the two third-level demons from the [Ten Thousand Beasts Palace], and he was willing to take such a big risk, so he couldn't help but think about it.

Not to mention, Fairy Biyou was harassed by demons and encountered danger, but she did not seek help from the elders of the clan. She had a "big secret" hidden in her body that could not be told to the outside world, which forced her to turn to the side of "the powerful person who proves the Tao" Lenovo.

Of course, what really convinced him of his judgment was the "Incarnation of the Sword Immortal".

That "Incarnation of the Sword Immortal" was transformed by the supreme supernatural power. A peerless strongman with serious power made almost every move, and the vague sword intent released soared to the sky, which was extremely terrifying.

Others may not be able to see anything, but Chu Chen, who is involved in the swordsmanship, recognized the mysterious sword intention in the sword light at a glance.

 He dared to conclude that it was not an ordinary swordsmanship, but an immortal sword of enlightenment!

At this moment, Fairy Biyou was silent and said nothing, but in essence, she said everything without saying anything.

Chu Chen saw Fairy Biyou looking embarrassed and made a judgment in his heart. He retreated in order to advance and shook his head:

"Fairy, I don't have any ill intentions. If there is any inconvenience, just pretend that I didn't ask."

Fairy Biyou breathed a sigh of relief when Chu Chen stopped asking questions.

She was really embarrassed to lie to others after they had just come to the rescue, but if she told them, she would break their trust. She was really in a dilemma, and she didn't know what to do.

 “Thank you, fellow Daoist Chu, for your understanding!”

Immediately, Fairy Biyou bowed and thanked Chu Chen for his understanding.

However, Xu felt that it would be inappropriate to say nothing.

 So, she thought about it, considered it, and explained:

"That senior Sword Immortal is not my elder. I don't have much connection with him. This happened two or three years ago. At dusk, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the blue western sea. I thought there was a rare treasure. I was overjoyed when the strange treasure was born. I covered up the vision for the first time. Afterwards, I used my divine power to search, and then I discovered that as early as about four to five hundred years ago, there was a senior who was in retreat nearby to attain enlightenment. At that time, the spiritual veins around the Biyouxi Sea Hidden away, it looks like a barren land at first glance.”

Chu Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, which was in line with the style of an expert who "disassembles corpses into immortals".

Under normal circumstances, they will not find famous mountain resorts that are eye-catching and are easily disturbed by others to practice, nor will they find barren places where spiritual energy is scarce.

 The best "dead corpse dismemberment place" is a geomantic treasure land where "spiritual veins are hidden and not visible".

“Fairy, have you seen that senior?”

 “It doesn’t count, it doesn’t count.”

Fairy Biyou recalled:

"What I saw was not the original deity, but the incarnation left by my predecessor. When he learned that I had become the Lord of the Blue Nether West Sea, he taught me the supreme swordsmanship on the spot and guided me in my practice. A few years ago, I was able to break through the bottleneck and rise to the top. At the third level, Taoism and magical powers have advanced by leaps and bounds, thanks to this opportunity."

“In order to repay my senior, I promised to keep his secrets, protect him, and help him achieve enlightenment.”

 After saying that, Fairy Biyou was a little embarrassed and explained:

“Fangcai, I didn’t mean to hide anything from my fellow Taoist, but it’s just that I don’t want to break my promise and break my promise.”

 “The fairy’s righteousness is so great that even the poor admire her.”

Chu Chen cupped his hands and nodded repeatedly.

 Those who are loyal and keep their promises have good character and are worthy of friendship.

Biyou Fairy is obviously this kind of person. He is upright and can stand out from the mud. If he is a man, he should have a "gentleman's style".

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Chen was a little curious and asked:

"Since the fairy covered up the vision, and you, the Lord of the Land, are the protectors, how did the news leak out, and how did the people in the demonic path know the secret?"

"Someone in my Biyou Palace went crazy, fell into the devil's realm, talked nonsense, and was accidentally spied on by demons from outside the territory, and the secret was leaked. Fortunately, the place where the senior's enlightenment was achieved was not leaked."

Fairy Biyou shook her head, then felt a little embarrassed and said:

“Fellow Daoist Chu, I can’t say more about the place where our seniors achieved enlightenment.”

 “No problem!”

Chu Chen smiled and didn't care.

Someone peeked into the immortal's tomb in the "Place of Enlightenment", thinking of robbing treasures and even ruining others' fortunes. However, he had no "nefarious" intentions and kept secrets about where the sword immortal was in retreat, where he attained enlightenment, etc. Don't care about anything.

 In fact, both he and the Celestial Court are concerned about the origins of this "powerful man who has proved the Tao", and are worried that the influence of people in the devil's path will affect the overall situation of the world.

"Fairy, I don't want to ask any more questions about other poor people. I just want to ask you, is this senior a member of the devil's path?"

Fairy Biyou quickly shook her head: "No, the senior cultivated the Sword Immortal Way, not the evil heretic."

Chu Chen looked seriously and stared at Fairy Biyou:

 “Can you dare to swear an oath?”

 “Why don’t you dare?”

Biyou Fairy Xu Shi also guessed Chu Chen's worries and difficulties, and was very happy at the moment. After saying that, she took out a piece of white silk from her sleeve and swore to the sky in blood.

 “Thank you, thank you very much, it’s easy for me to do business now.”

Chu Chen took the "blood book" from Fairy Biyou and nodded with satisfaction. Then he thought of something and reminded:

"Fairy, even though Pindao killed many demons, there is no guarantee that the news will still be leaked out. There may be trouble in the future. Pindao will report this matter to the Celestial Court to avoid subsequent changes. What do you think? ?”

 After speaking, Chu Chen explained:

“Don’t worry, Fairy, I have no intention of peeping into the Immortal Court, and I will not covet the creation of that powerful man who has attained enlightenment!”

Fairy Biyou nodded repeatedly:

 “Then there is Fellow Taoist Lao Chu.”

  An hour later.

Chu Chen did not stay in the Biyou Palace Water Mansion for long, so he said goodbye and left. He randomly found a hidden cave as a temporary cave about two hundred miles away from the Biyou West Sea.

 After making arrangements, he took out the [馘魔 Zuo Shi Ling] from the Immortal Mansion of the Bracelet and contacted the Great Elder Chongxu.

In front of the altar, the fragrance is thick and cloudy, and the envoy of the Demon Academy, wearing a yellow high-gong Taoist robe, appears in the form of the great elder Chongxu. “I’ve met the Great Elder Chongxu!”

 “Fellow Daoist Chu, what’s the urgent matter?”

After Taoist Chongxu finished speaking, he quickly realized something and looked happy.

 Under normal circumstances, the report can be reported by using the [Demon Order] spiritual voice. As long as you ask for a meeting in person, it is an important matter and you are afraid of leaking it.

 “But I found a clue.”

"good!"

Chu Chen nodded slightly and immediately told the whole story about the Blue Nether Sea and the Sword Immortal who "can become the Tao through the sword".

 After saying that, he handed over the blood oath written by Fairy Biyou.

 “Please take a look at it, Great Elder!”

Great Elder Chongxu took the blood book, scanned it casually, and nodded:

"Yes, although Biyou Dragon Girl has a cold and solitary temperament and doesn't like to interact with her dragon peers, she is loved by the Dragon King of the South Sea and the Dragon King of the West Sea. It's not good to intimidate her too deeply. You have done a good job this time. As long as those who have attained enlightenment I am not a member of the devil's path, but we monks are happy to see our fellow Taoists attain enlightenment and become immortals!"

After Taoist Chongxu finished speaking, his face was filled with emotion and a hint of envy.

“I never expected that the omen would come true. I’m so happy to see a fellow Taoist become an immortal!”

Happy to witness Tao becoming an immortal?

Chu Chen didn’t hear anything from the front. As the son-in-law of Dragon Palace, he knew Biyou Fairy’s heel very well, so it wasn’t surprising. But what he said to Elder Xu later shocked him and made him very surprised:

“Great Elder, what do you mean, the senior Sword Immortal has not attained the Dao but has already attained it?”

"good!"

Taoist Chongxu nodded firmly and explained:

“Fellow Daoist Chu, do you know that there is a literary explanation for the method of corpse exhumation, as well as a martial explanation?”

Chu Chen was stunned and shook his head.

He has been practicing for a long time, and he has the "Celestial Immortal Inheritance", and at last he has the "Earth Immortal Method" as a guarantee, so even if he has the sword solution method of "Liujia Eight Gods Blue Dragon Sword", the Taiyin Refining Method of "Feilong Yunju", etc. He didn't pay too much attention to the method of "decomposing corpses". He had never heard of this term.

 In terms of knowledge in this area, it is naturally inferior to Taoist Chongxu who has been studying this for many years.

 “Please give me some advice from the great elder!”

He smiled at Taoist Xu and explained:

"Wu Jie, as the name suggests, is a word for martial arts. It has quick effects. Whether it succeeds or fails, whether it can achieve enlightenment or not, can be seen in one day. For example, with the fire solution method, others will be burned to death when they see it. If you cross the sea and hide from the sky, you can transform and escape, and achieve enlightenment." True, it’s like dying in a military disaster and attaining enlightenment through military solution.”

After speaking, Taoist Chongxu shook his head and said with emotion:

"It's a pity that Wu Jie is too strong, and there are only a few successful ones who can achieve enlightenment through Wu Jie. Let alone our Dachang world, even if we look at the three realms, there are only a handful of them. It depends too much on luck. It's all about fate. Under normal circumstances, People like us who practice Taoism will only take a chance at a critical moment when death is imminent."

"I see!"

Chu Chen's knowledge greatly increased. He had heard about both Huo Jie and Bing Jie, but he didn't know as much as Taoist elders like Taoist Chongxu. Immediately, he became interested and quickly asked for advice:

“Great Elder, if you say so, then most of the people in the world of immortality today practice Wen Jie?”

"good!"

Taoist Chongxu nodded slightly and said,

"Compared with Wu Jie, the scene of enlightenment in Wen Jie is not that big and not so fast. Generally, it takes hundreds of years to achieve results. The vicissitudes of life, time passes by, and the cultivators accumulate little by little before they can refine and transform. Authenticity, body escape.”

After finishing speaking, fellow Taoist Chongxu looked outside the cave in the direction of the blue and quiet west sea, and said leisurely:

"Although I have not witnessed it with my own eyes, from your description, the senior swordsman went into seclusion four to five hundred years ago. The visions of heaven and earth in the first two years must have been the visions of him attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal. I am afraid he has already attained enlightenment and become an immortal. , prove the truth [Lord of the Underground].”

 The underground master!

Chu Chen was slightly shocked. He had heard of this before.

 In the practice of cultivating corpses, those who go there during the day are called the superior corpses, those who go there in the middle of the night are called the lower corpses, and those who leave at dawn and dusk are called the masters of the lower ones.

To put it simply, there are three, six or nine levels of corpse-dismantling methods. Those who practice well in fire will ascend during the day on the day of enlightenment, which is called "upper corpse-dissolution", and those who attain enlightenment at night will enter the netherworld. It's called "dissolving the corpse".

 This is called flying into the sky and entering the earth, which is considered a great blessing.

If the "decomposition" is a little worse and still does not fail, then the "Lord of the Underground" will be preached in the early morning or evening.

After the "underground master" attains enlightenment, he can only stay in the human world. Although he has achieved seclusion, attained enlightenment, and is immortal, he has not transcended the world. The signs are not extinguished. He is doubted by God's will. If there are any flaws, it is not considered a complete attainment. That's great freedom, great freedom.

 The "Tao Fruit" that you have achieved is very likely to be gained and lost again, and you have to continue practicing.

"I see!"

Chu Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing Taoist Chongxu’s speculation.

He remembered that Biyou Fairy had indeed said that the vision of heaven and earth caused by the "Senior Sword Fairy" happened in the evening.

 The experts in the Immortal Court deduced that someone had successfully achieved enlightenment, and it was conclusive. Everything seemed to be confirmed.

With this thought, Chu Chen suddenly realized that everything seemed to be connected in series, making his thoughts clear.

However, after careful consideration, Chu Chen became a little curious and asked:

"Great Elder Chongxu, since this senior Sword Immortal has achieved enlightenment and has become a real land god, why is he still worried about someone peeking into his place of enlightenment? When it comes to conquering magical powers, looking at the vast world, there are probably not many people who can match him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is an invincible opponent in the world."

 “Indeed, but”

Taoist Chongxu shook his head and sighed:

"Underground masters have many hidden dangers and shortcomings. For example, they are not allowed to return to their hometown, are not allowed to see relatives and friends, are not allowed to leak the aura of the deity, have insufficient understanding of the Tao, etc. All aspects must be compensated through practice. It will take at least a hundred years to achieve perfection. Only through practice can one truly attain enlightenment and become an immortal, and become a true immortal.”

“I’m afraid this is the case with the senior Sword Immortal. He has attained enlightenment, but he has not fully attained enlightenment. Being in between the two is the most embarrassing period after attaining enlightenment [underground master].”

"I see!"

Chu Chen nodded, not surprised.

His [Feilong Yunpou] belongs to the "Taiyin Refining" method. If you practice this method, it will take hundreds of years to "refining the form" in Taiyin before you can ascend Tai Chi, and Golden Que will become an immortal.

Although the "method of corpse dissection" is complicated, it is currently the most reliable way to "cultivate immortality".

 If nothing else, just looking at the envious and jealous appearance of his boss "Taoist Chongxu", we know that "underground master" is the "ultimate goal" that cultivators dream of.

Chu Chen coughed repeatedly, breaking Taoist Chongxu's "revelation" and asked for advice:

“Great Elder, what should we do now?”

 “This matter is not simple!”

Taoist Chongxu looked leisurely and strange:

“The first few years after attaining [underground master] are the most embarrassing. The path has not been perfected, the original soul has not returned, and there is only a refined sword in the tomb, so there is a risk of being taken over by others.”
