One person: I am the dragon, tiger, wine and sword immortal

When the legend of Wu Gensheng's ascension spread widely in the martial arts world, the young monk Wang also believed it. He often sat alone on the top of the mountain, gazing at the misty sea of ​​clouds, his heart filled with admiration and yearning for Wu Gensheng.

"Senior Wu Gensheng must have ascended to the fairyland and become a true god." Wang Ye murmured to the air, with a gleam of longing in his eyes.

However, Lu Jin, an old-generation cultivator, scoffed at this. He sat on a bamboo chair, holding a pot of tea, and said calmly, "Ascend to heaven? That's just nonsense. Wu Gensheng is just an opportunist. How can he ascend to heaven?"

Wang Ye was somewhat displeased by Lu Jin's words. He retorted, "Senior, how can you say that about Senior Wu Gensheng? He is a peerless master who has mastered the Eight Wonders!"

Lu Jin sneered, put down the teapot in his hand, and said, "So what about the Eight Wonders? They are just a means of cultivation. How can the way to become an immortal be so simple? If Wu Gensheng really ascended to heaven, it would be a wonder in the world."

"Mr. Lu, have you heard of ascending to immortality?" Zhang Hao suddenly asked.

Lu Jin raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Ascendence? That's just a legend among Taoist practitioners. Who has actually seen it in the past few hundred years?"

Zhang Hao shook his head, a thoughtful look on his face: "But it is indeed recorded in history, why has it become a legend now?"

Lu Jin sighed and said nothing more. Zhang Hao's words touched the long-forgotten memory in his heart.

Zuo Ruotong, the once famous head of the Sanyi Sect, spent his entire life pursuing the path to immortality. He reached the third level of inverse life and was known as the person closest to becoming an immortal. However, at the moment when he was about to ascend, he suddenly died, becoming a great mystery in the martial arts world.

"Senior Zuo Rutong, is he really close to the path of ascension?" Zhang Hao asked softly.

Lu Jin was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Senior Brother Zuo... has indeed reached an unprecedented realm. But ascending to heaven is not that simple."

A trace of doubt flashed across Zhang Hao's eyes: "Who is blocking the path to ascension?"

Lu Jin shook his head, a helpless look on his face: "No one knows. Maybe it's God's will, maybe it's man-made. But in any case, the path to ascension has become a taboo, and no one dares to mention it anymore."

Zhang Hao was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What about the eight unique skills? Are they related to the path to ascension?"

Lu Jin's face changed, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes: "You know the Eight Wonders? Who are you?"

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and did not answer directly: "I am just a person who is curious about the way of cultivation. Wu Gensheng realized the divine spirit. Does it mean that he has found the clue to the way to ascension?"

Lu Jin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What happened to Wu Gensheng is not something you and I can speculate. His disappearance may be related to the path of ascension, but it may also be related to the secret of the Eight Wonders."

Zhang Hao nodded, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes: "It seems that the path to ascension and the Eight Wonders are indeed inextricably linked."

The conversation between the two gradually faded away in the night, but Zhang Hao's doubts grew stronger. What secrets were hidden in the road to ascension? And were the Eight Wonders related to the road to ascension? These questions lingered in his mind.

Lu Jin fell into deep thought. He recalled Zuo Rutong's life and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. For practitioners, is the path to ascension an unattainable dream or a cruel reality?

"The Eight Wonders, are they really just skills?" Wang Ye muttered to himself, his eyes flickering with desire for the unknown world. He knew very well that each of these eight unique skills contained endless mysteries, as if they could touch the origin of heaven and earth.

However, just as he was immersed in this mystery, an inexplicable force quietly descended, as if trying to conceal something. Wang Ye's heart was shocked, and he felt that what this force concealed was not the Eight Wonders itself, but the deeper path to becoming an immortal.

"Does the path to immortality really exist?" Wang Ye felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He knew that this topic had always been considered a taboo in the alien world, but he could not suppress his curiosity about it.

At this moment, Lu Jin's voice broke the silence of the night. This old-generation alien seemed to have a deeper understanding of the path to immortality. When he heard Wang Ye's muttering, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by deep excitement.

"You...you also know the path to becoming an immortal?" Lu Jin's voice trembled a little, as if it had touched a secret deep in his heart.

Wang Ye nodded, his eyes met Lu Jin's, and it seemed as if an invisible bond was quietly established between the two.

"I guess the Eight Wonders may be the key to becoming an immortal." Wang Ye's voice was firm and powerful, and his words revealed a desire for the unknown and a pursuit of truth.

When Lu Jin heard this, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, but was soon covered by deep worry. He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "The path to becoming an immortal is not that simple. I once thought that the third level of Reincarnation could allow me to touch that realm, but..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden gust of wind. Feng Baobao appeared beside them at some point. She looked at Lu Jin with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? Does the path to immortality really exist?"

Lu Jin looked at her, shook his head, and did not answer. He turned his gaze to Wang Ye again, as if he wanted to find the answer from him.

Wang Ye took a deep breath. He knew that he might have touched a secret of this world. He looked at Lu Jin and said slowly, "The road to becoming an immortal may really exist. But what we need is not only the eight great skills, but also the persistent pursuit of truth and the courageous exploration of the unknown."

Wang Ye's guess brought a glimmer of hope to Zhang Hao.

He sat in the cave, closed his eyes and meditated, trying to find clues to ascend to immortality from the three levels of reverse birth. The three levels of reverse birth, the third level, is it really just the limit of cultivation, rather than the ladder to the immortal world?
However, as he thought more deeply, Zhang Hao gradually realized that even if the problem of the three levels of reverse birth was solved, it could not directly prove the possibility of ascending to immortality. This seemed to overturn the idea of ​​Zuo Rutong, the head who once led the Sanyi Sect to glory but fell into despair because of the three levels of reverse birth.

Zuo Ruotong, a man who was once full of faith, firmly believed that the third level of reverse life could make people ascend to become immortals. However, when he himself reached the third level but failed to achieve his wish, the collapse of his faith was probably more violent than any blow. His death was not only a personal tragedy, but also the end of the faith of Trinity. Zhang Hao thought of Lu Jin's words. The once high-spirited stranger was now full of old age, as if he was suffocated by the obsession with becoming an immortal. He advised Zhang Hao not to be too obsessed with becoming an immortal, because that might just be an unattainable dream. Lu Jin's departure made Zhang Hao more determined to find the truth.

He began to re-examine the Three Realms of Reverse Life, trying to find the true path to the immortal world. However, after a long period of thinking and observation, he came to the conclusion that the Three Realms of Reverse Life could not lead to heaven.

This conclusion made Zhang Hao feel a little disappointed, but he also understood that this did not mean the end of cultivation. Although the three levels of reverse life were powerful, they were not the only way to the immortal world. Perhaps, the true path of cultivation was not to pursue the illusory immortal world, but to constantly improve oneself and reach the state of unity with heaven and earth.

When Zhang Hao told Zhang Lingyu his thoughts, the latter was shocked. He had never seen Zhang Hao know so much about a certain strange sect, and he never thought he would come to such a unique conclusion.

"You...how do you know all this?" Zhang Lingyu asked stutteringly.

Zhang Hao smiled and didn't answer directly. He knew that he seemed to have knowledge beyond his age and experience, but this was not something he could explain. He could only tell Zhang Lingyu that these were all things he had slowly realized during his practice.

Zhang Hao's words made Zhang Lingyu a little confused. Master Zhang Zhiwei had never mentioned anything about the Sanyi Sect, so how did Zhang Hao know about it? Moreover, his understanding of the third level of Nisheng seemed to be deeper than that of the disciples of the Sanyi Sect.

“The triple level of reverse rebirth sounds amazing, but it can’t reach the sky after all.” Zhang Hao said lightly, his tone revealing a kind of detached and free and easy attitude.

Wang Ye's brows were furrowed, and he looked at Zhang Hao with a look of confusion and curiosity. Who on earth was this young man, and how could he know so much about the secret arts of the Trinity Sect?

Zhang Chulan was not very interested in Zhang Hao's words. He was more concerned about Wu Gensheng's purpose. He grasped the key point of Zhang Hao's words and asked, "You said Wu Gensheng wanted to reopen the road to heaven. What is his purpose in doing so? Is it just to ascend to heaven and become an immortal?"

Zhang Hao shook his head, a deep light flashed in his eyes: "No, Wu Gensheng's purpose is not that simple. The reason why he wants to reopen the road to heaven is probably related to Feng Baobao."

Everyone was shocked when these words came out. Feng Baobao? This woman who had been standing silently by the side actually had such a deep connection with Wu Gensheng?
Feng Baobao herself was also confused. She blinked, looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Who is Wu Gensheng? What is his relationship with me?"

Zhang Hao did not answer her question directly, but turned to look at Zhang Chulan: "Zhang Chulan, you should know Wu Gensheng's origins better than me, right?"

Zhang Chulan was shocked. He didn't expect Zhang Hao to see his understanding of Wu Gensheng. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Wu Gensheng is indeed a mysterious person, but I don't know what the connection is between him and Feng Baobao."

Zhang Hao smiled slightly, and didn't seem to care about Zhang Chulan's concealment: "It doesn't matter, we will uncover this secret one day. What's more important now is that we have to find out what Wu Gensheng wants to do."

Feng Baobao listened to their conversation, her heart filled with doubt and uneasiness. She felt as if she was drawn into a huge vortex, and the center of this vortex was the Wu Gensheng whom she had never heard of.

"Chu Lan, what are you thinking about?" Feng Baobao's voice interrupted his thoughts. She walked over with a hint of curiosity on her face.

Zhang Chulan turned around and looked at Feng Baobao's face, which seemed to never change, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. "Baby, have you ever thought that your life experience might be related to Wu Gensheng?" he asked tentatively.

When Feng Baobao heard this, a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes. She gently held Zhang Chulan's hand and said, "Chulan, are you saying...I may have found my family?"

Zhang Chulan nodded, but then shook his head. "I'm just guessing, there's no solid evidence. Besides, Wu Gensheng has disappeared for many years, and we don't know where to find him."

Feng Baobao was silent for a while, then raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes, "It's okay, Chu Lan. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up. I believe in you, and I believe that we will find the answer."

Zhang Chulan looked at Feng Baobao's determined eyes and was moved. He knew that he could not hide it any longer. So he took a deep breath and decided to confront the few people he trusted.

"Zhang Hao, Zhang Lingyu, Wang Ye, I have something to tell you." Zhang Chulan's voice was a little heavy, "I have some guesses about the baby's life experience. She may be related to Wu Gensheng, and she has many incredible secrets."

Zhang Hao, Zhang Lingyu and Wang Ye were all shocked when they heard this. They looked at Feng Baobao as if they saw a mysterious existence.

"Baby, can you tell us about your experience?" Zhang Lingyu asked tentatively.

Feng Baobao nodded and began to tell her own story. How she had kept her appearance unchanged since 44, how she had achieved immortality, and how she had gone through countless hardships. Her voice was calm and firm, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

Zhang Chulan added details to make Feng Baobao's experience more vivid and specific. They listened to Feng Baobao's story with shock and curiosity.

"This... this is incredible!" Wang Ye exclaimed, "How can a person stay young for so long? This is simply like a myth!"

Zhang Lingyu also nodded. "Besides, if the baby is really related to Wu Gensheng, then her life experience is even more confusing. Wu Gensheng is a mysterious and powerful person. His existence itself is a mystery."

Zhang Chulan, Zhang Lingyu, Wang Ye, Chen Duo and others were all shocked when they learned her real age. However, Zhang Hao seemed unusually calm, as if he had known all this for a long time.

"Zhang Hao, why aren't you surprised at all?" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and said, "I guessed that Feng Baobao's age might be unusual, but I didn't expect it to be this long. However, I am more interested in her relationship with Wu Gensheng."

"Wu Gensheng?" Everyone was stunned. This name was not unfamiliar to them, but it was the first time they heard it in connection with Feng Baobao. (End of this chapter)
