Proving the Way of Longevity: Starting from Covering the Sky, Adding Points to the Way

Chapter 44 Return to Spiritual Void

Leaving the small town, Liu Yibai entered the Lingxu Cave.

Leader Lingxu, who was practicing in the hall, felt this strange and powerful aura for the first time, and his face suddenly became solemn.

On this day, all the elders of Lingxu Cave Heaven and their heads came out in full force, and they all stood guard at the entrance of the cave, with solemn expressions on their faces.

"Here we come." The head of Lingxu looked in the direction of the entrance, held his breath, and his heart almost rose to his throat.

"I'm afraid this kind of aura has exceeded the secret realm of Lun Hai..." An elder said seriously from behind.

The head of Lingxu shook his head silently, and the elders couldn't help but wonder.

"Isn't it right?"

"If the enemy has not exceeded the Lunhai Secret Realm, there is no need to call all of us here."

After a long time, the head of Lingxu let out a long breath, and said: "The other party may have surpassed the secret realm of the Dao Palace!"

"What!? How is that possible...after the Dao Palace Secret Realm is the Four Extremes Secret Realm! When has such a existence appeared in our area?"

"Master, are you making a mistake?"

The head of Lingxu looked solemn and turned back coldly: "Such a big event is almost related to the life and death of my Lingxu. Do you think... I will make a mistake?"

The elders were speechless, but they also understood that if the person who came was an enemy rather than a friend, then today would most likely be the day when their souls would perish.

A moment later, a soft sound of footsteps came from outside the cave. To the ears of these elders, it was like a note of urgency, gradually approaching them.

An elder swallowed and stared at the entrance, only to see a figure coming into view.

He was dressed in Tsing Yi, which could not be called gorgeous or simple, giving people a feeling of being detached from the world.

The head of Lingxu was the first to say: "I wonder why your friend came to my Lingxu Cave?"

"Good fellow Taoist, it seems that the leader of Lingxu really doesn't regard me, Liu Yibai, as one of his own." Liu Yibai walked through the entrance, stepped out of the darkness, and spoke with a smile.

"It's...it's you!" Head Lingxu's eyes widened, and the solemnity on his face disappeared. Instead, he looked happy. He quickly stepped forward and looked at Liu Yibai, whom he hadn't seen for many years. For a moment, he suddenly Speechless.

"This is Liu Keqing who went to Yandu and took the life of King Yan."

The elders at the rear also recognized Liu Yibai, and they all looked excited.

"Why do you guys have such a big fight when I come back? I'm so embarrassed." Liu Yibai glanced at everyone and said with a smile.

"Liu... Fellow Daoist, you have changed too much. The leader felt your aura and thought a powerful enemy was coming, so he summoned all our elders."

Not far away, an elder said.

"But having said that, what state is Fellow Daoist Liu in now? Dao palace or the four poles?"

Liu Yibai smiled lightly and said frankly: "Some time ago, Liu was lucky enough to enter the Four Extremes Secret Realm."

"With such strength, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Liu will not be able to find many opponents in our big caves or even the entire Yan Kingdom."

"I'm so ashamed. Fellow Daoist Liu is similar in age to us, but he has far surpassed us in cultivation." "Suddenly I feel like I have been living like a dog in these years. I have been cultivating again and again, but I am still stuck in the wheel sea. Within the secret realm.”

Looking at this group of interesting elders, Liu Yibai turned to head Lingxu and said: "One of the purposes of my coming back this time is to see Zheng Wu's achievements in practice over the years, but I already know that Liu I would like to sincerely thank the headmaster and the elders for their care on behalf of Zheng Wu’s mother.”

"Fellow Daoist Liu, there is no need to say thank you. Zheng Wu is my disciple of Lingxu Cave Heaven. We elders are naturally obligated to pay attention to him." Head Lingxu waved his hand hurriedly.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yibai took out [-] kilograms of pure sources, placed them on the ground, and said, "These sources should be regarded as thanks to the leader Lingxu for his kindness."

Head Lingxu and all the elders were dumbfounded, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

In their entire life, when had they seen so many pure sources!

"Such a great gift..."

Looking at the leader of Lingxu who was still being polite, Liu Yibai raised his hand to stop his words, and then continued: "I heard that Zheng Wu has always been at a bottleneck in his practice these years. With these sources, maybe it is his hope for a breakthrough. Of course This is also the hope of everyone here to break through the bottleneck.”

Headmaster Lingxu bent down slightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Liu said this, so I will accept it. From now on, I, Lingxu Cave Heaven, will remember the great kindness and kindness of Daoist Liu today."

After some polite greetings, Liu Yibai did not stay long and immediately left Lingxu Cave and went to the small town where he had lived for 50 years.

Crossing the mountains and streams, Liu Yibai gradually approached the small town. From a distance, it seemed that nothing had changed and the town was still the same as it was a few years ago.

A group of children gathered at the entrance of the town to play. Seeing their energetic expressions, Liu Yibai guessed that they might be playing a role.

Walking into the town, there are also elderly people sitting on the steps in front of their houses, staring at the street with empty and dull eyes. Everything they look at is the past.

As Liu Yibai walked, he felt the customs of the town that had not changed for many years. For example, every household here used to hang dried corn and smoked chickens and ducks on the beams outside the house.

Keep it until the end of the year for a sumptuous dinner.

The highest thing these simple people have seen in their eyes is the mountain peak outside the town. They have lived here all their lives, relying on the mountains and the water.

Few people yearn for life in the outside world, so when Zheng Wu wanted to leave Lingxu, both Liu Yibai and his mother strongly opposed it.

Rather than being anxious outside, it is better to live a peaceful life in this town.

When Liu Yibai came to the familiar inn, a breath that often appeared in his mind floated over. He took a deep breath and walked slowly in.

After crossing the threshold, the woman sitting behind the counter calculating the account books was too busy to raise her head. When she heard someone coming in, she habitually said: "What do you want to eat, sir? Our restaurant's signature is..."

"If you don't want to eat, I'll go home." Liu Yibai interrupted her and spoke gently.

Hearing this voice, the woman stopped tapping the abacus, then raised her head suddenly, looking at the familiar figure in front of her, and warm mist filled her eyes.

"Shopkeeper Liu..." As she spoke, she looked out the door, seemingly looking for something, but in the end, a flash of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "Didn't Xiao Wu come back with you?"

Liu Yibai shook his head, at this moment, he could feel the disappointment in the woman's heart.

"How is Xiao Wu doing in Lingxu Cave?" the woman asked eagerly.

Looking at the woman's gray temples and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, Liu Yibai sighed in his heart and said, "He is living a good life. In a sense, Zheng Wu can now be regarded as a god in the eyes of ordinary people." .”
