Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Lu Lang!"

Just as the name "Gu Huojin" flashed through Lu Tiandu's mind, Linglong and Yinyue's frightened calls instantly brought him back to his senses.

"you?"

Lu Tiandu looked at Linglong and Yinyue. At this moment, there were not only the two women, but Ao Xiao at the top also had a look of fear on his face. His magic power was surging, and he looked at Lu Tiandu with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

And in the corner where Lu Tian had noticed something strange before, there was now a slim female cultivator in a black robe wearing a wolf-head mask. There was also a flash of panic in this woman's eyes. It was Liao Ying.

"Just now, this golden page changed strangely. We actually lost control of our bodies in an instant. Our souls had no power to resist at all. We were inexplicably filled with great fear... It was not until the furnace shadow around you appeared that we returned to normal..."

Linglong said in a deep voice.

Ao Xiao also nodded and stared at Lu Tiandu closely.

They were actually restrained by the mysterious power emanating from the golden page in the previous moment!
Lu Tiandu's mind had calmed down at this moment. He did not respond to the doubts and fears of the crowd. Instead, he looked at Patriarch Ao Xiao:

"Senior said before that he got this golden page by chance. When exactly did it happen? Is there anything unusual?"

As he spoke, he looked at the golden page which had now returned to its original state and was still floating in the air.

"That was more than 500 years ago. Linglong had just returned from the human world. I used the Kunpeng blood that Linglong brought back to recover from the trauma I suffered after my previous tribulation. When I was out one day, I accidentally discovered that this thing was very different, so I collected it. At that time, I thought I had obtained an incredible secret technique from the immortal world, but later I found that this magical power could not be practiced at all..."

Patriarch Ao Xiao responded briefly and explained the cause and effect of obtaining this golden page.

Lu Tiandu's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and he grabbed the golden page and said:
"Wait for me for a moment. I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, his figure flashed into the stone bead world.

The next moment, Lu Tiandu's figure appeared in a cave halfway up Tongtian Peak.

Looking at the Divine Furnace of Creation in front of him, Lu Tian did not hesitate and threw the golden page into the stone furnace.

The next moment, as Lu Tiandu made hand gestures and chanted spells, brilliant seven-colored light burst out from the stone furnace.

These colorful lights instantly submerged Lu Tiandu and the golden page in his hand.

After a few breaths, Lu Tian opened his eyes and did not leave the stone furnace. He looked at the golden page in his hand, his eyes flashed with thought, and he murmured:

"It seems that I have worried too much. This golden page contains only a tiny trace of divine thought left by the ancient or modern times!"

"Is it just to remind me that he already knew of my existence?"

"Red Lotus Divine Thunder! Hehe, others may not know, but how could I not know?"

"This thunder is one of the thirty-six heavenly thunders in the True Immortal Realm. It ranks extremely high and is extremely powerful. It is not inferior to the pure yang thunder 'Dutian Divine Thunder' which is famous for its destructive power. Moreover, compared with other thunder techniques, the strangeness of this thunder is that it can directly destroy the soul of the cultivator without damaging his physical body. Therefore, this thunder is also known as the 'Soul-Destroying Divine Thunder'."

"Whether other Daluo or Daozu have cultivated this thunder, I don't know, but I know that Gu Huojin can use this thunder. In the original plot, Gu Huojin set up the 'Three Thousand Dao Gods Formation' and used this thunder to fight against Han Li and Han Lao Mo in the final battle with the Daluo and Daozu..."

"Since he knew that I was an 'oddity', why did he teach me this thunder technique through Ao Xiao?"

"Moreover, just now I was connected with the Creation Divine Furnace, and with the help of this golden page, I could sense that I had a deep connection with Gu Huojin long before!"

"The stone furnace and I are one, this induction cannot be wrong. It seems that I have been involved with Gu Huojin in some cause and effect before!"

At this moment, Lu Tian was recalling everything that had happened since his rebirth into the mortal world. As he was lost in thought, the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

“Perhaps when the stone bead brought me across the chaotic space and came to this universe, Gu Huojin discovered something strange about it!”

"After all, he is the strongest Dao Ancestor under the Heavenly Dao of this universe. He has lived for countless epochs. Among the three supreme laws, the Law of Time has long been perfected. He has been exploring the 'Law of Chaos' that can help him transcend this universe. His strength cannot be measured by that of an ordinary Dao Ancestor. It makes sense that he discovered me, a visitor from another world! That's why he calls me 'anomaly'!"

"If that's the case, he should have been keeping an eye on me all along. There's no doubt that when I was eighteen years old and went to the God Hand Valley in Caixia Mountain to plan the Heavenly Bottle, he must have seen it."

"There is no doubt that he also recognized the Heavenly Bottle!"

“And the appearance of the mortal Han Li afterwards must have surprised him! After all, in the battle of ‘The Seat of Laws’ tens of millions of years ago, ‘Time Han Li’ who also practiced the law of time was defeated by him. And in his opinion, Time Han Li had already dissipated that year, so it can be said that he had died in the battle!”

“He didn’t know that at the critical moment of life and death, Han Li poured all the time laws and time patterns he had cultivated throughout his life into the treasure he accidentally obtained, the Palm of Heaven Bottle. By chance, the Palm of Heaven Bottle gained spiritual intelligence.”

“From the time-travelling function of the Heaven-Holding Bottle, it is with the help of this little bit of intelligence (the bottle spirit that later secretly cultivated for tens of millions of years and increased its intelligence) and the large amount of time law power poured into the Heaven-Holding Bottle that the three supreme laws of time, space, and reincarnation in the Heaven-Holding Bottle were stimulated, enabling the Heaven-Holding Bottle to have the ability to travel through time and space for a short period of time. In the end, Han Li not only escaped with his life, but also returned to the timeline tens of millions of years before his birth!” “Han Li, who had lost all his cultivation, relied on his previous cultivation experience and embarked on the immortal path again as a four-spiritual root. After finally becoming an immortal, he turned to cultivate the law of reincarnation and advanced to Daluo again. At the same time, he also founded the Hall of Samsara to fight against the Heavenly Court, or to take revenge!”

"Tens of millions of years have passed since the great battle between Gu Huojin and Time Han Li, the 'Lord of Laws'! Now is the era of 'Reincarnation Han Li' who has turned to practicing the Law of Reincarnation!"

“Looking at the current timeline, Gu Huojin probably still doesn’t know that the Lord of the Samsara Hall is actually Han Li, his defeated opponent back then! And in this timeline, he suddenly saw the treasure, the Heaven-controlling Bottle, and the mortal Han Li, who has the same name as Han Li back then. Gu Huojin may have discovered something!”

"So, who was it that secretly helped me to feel the inexplicable sense of crisis when I was about to steal the Heavenly Palm Bottle?"

"Gu Huojin? No, Han Li lost the Heaven-Holding Bottle when he was escaping through time and space. Later, it was obtained by the young Li Yuanjiu, who used the Heaven-Holding Bottle to grow step by step into the Origin of Gold Dao, one of the Seven Lords of Heaven. As the leader of the Seven Lords of Heaven, Gu Huojin must know the function of the Heaven-Holding Bottle. For him, the first person in the fairy world who is determined to transcend the control of the Heaven, the function of the Heaven-Holding Bottle is limited. It is unlikely that he will suddenly attack me for this treasure. What's more, the Heaven-Holding Bottle is still in the hands of the mortal Han Li, and he did not take it!"

"On the contrary, I, a mysterious being who can transcend the chaos, may be more attractive to him, a Taoist who is determined to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao!"

"The fact that Li Yuanjiu, the master of Jiuyuan Temple, could achieve the position of Daozu was undoubtedly due to the great contribution of the Heavenly Bottle. And Li Yuanjiu, who obtained the lost treasure from Han Li, obviously owed the cause and effect for this."

"Later, under the scheme of the Taoist ancestors from all sides of the Immortal Realm, the Heaven-Holding Bottle was stolen by the traitor Skeleton Immortal of Jiuyuan Temple, and eventually the bottle spirit and the Heaven-Holding Bottle were mysteriously separated. The bottle spirit was lost in the Demon Realm, but the bottle body coincidentally fell into the Divine Hand Valley in this human world where 'Time Han Li' had been before. Was this led by the reincarnation Han Li? However, judging from Li Yuanjiu's later performance, he must have gone with the flow and resolved the cause and effect..."

“But I remember that in the original plot, when the future reincarnation Han Li met Han Li, Gan Jiuzhen, and Nangong Wan in the fairyland and revealed the relationship between the four, he claimed that he had not expected that a Han Li would be born in this timeline. And since the Palm of Heaven Bottle happened to be calculated again to the Divine Hand Valley that he had experienced when he was a mortal, it is obvious that he still has some purpose!”

"This treasure, the Heavenly Bottle, was created when the Heavenly Dao of this universe was first created. It is known as the first Mysterious Heavenly Treasure of this universe, but in fact, it was created from the Chaos, and is not comparable to any other Mysterious Heavenly Treasure. It contains not only the three thousand Heavenly Dao laws, but also a group of Chaos Laws remnants."

"It's normal for a single Xuantian treasure to be predicted, but it's impossible to predict a treasure like this that contains all three thousand heavenly laws. In addition, according to the inheritance I got from the Stone Pearl World, the five supreme laws are unpredictable and even more impossible to predict, even if there is only a small ball of chaos law in the Palm of Heaven Bottle!"

"So, regardless of whether this kind of treasure has an owner or not, it is basically impossible to predict its existence. Even the Taoist master Chen Tuan who is proficient in the laws of prophecy in the Heavenly Court cannot do it."

“Furthermore, from the time when Han Li obtained the Heaven-Holding Bottle, Li Yuanjiu obtained the Heaven-Holding Bottle, and in this timeline hundreds of thousands of years ago when the Skeleton Immortal stole the Heaven-Holding Bottle, and after the Heaven-Holding Bottle fell into the human world, no powerful being in the Immortal World could track it down again, it can be seen that once the Heaven-Holding Bottle falls into a certain place, its divine object will be hidden and unpredictable, waiting for the right person.”

“When I was plotting to acquire the Heaven-controlling Bottle, the mortal Han Li had already obtained the Heaven-controlling Bottle for several years. Perhaps this is where the problem lies.”

“Hundreds of thousands of years ago, since the Heaven-Holding Bottle was calculated to be the place where Han Li would pass after his birth, although Han Li in reincarnation could not calculate the specific situation of the Heaven-Holding Bottle, he must be very curious about the final ownership of this treasure. Or he is also very curious about whether there will be a Han Li born in Qingniu Town in the timeline where he will be born and follow Han Li’s trajectory to the Divine Hand Valley of the Seven Profound Sect…”

"According to today's reality and the conversation between Han Li in the future reincarnation of the immortal world and Han Li in the original plot, when the mortal Han Li of this timeline was born, the reincarnation Han Li far away in the immortal world also knew the existence of his other self because of the connection of fate."

"Obviously, some of the plans of the reincarnated Han Li were successful! And from the original plot, the reincarnated Han Li knew that some of Han Li's experiences in the human world, the spirit world, and even the fairy world in this timeline were different from his previous life as the time Han Li, as well as the entanglement between Han Li and his beloved Zi Ling and other women, so he knew that he could keep an eye on the development of Han Li in this timeline at any time."

"Therefore, with the reincarnation Han Li influencing Han Li at any time, it is not surprising that the mortal Han Li in this timeline obtained the Palm of Heaven Bottle!"

"The Heaven-Holding Bottle was originally the treasure of Han Li in the past. Now the mortal Han Li has lost it and found it again. The cause and effect entanglement has the coordinate of the mortal Han Li, and the reincarnation Han Li can secretly spy on it at any time. If an outsider covets this treasure, it is normal to find the strange gaze of the reincarnation Han Li cast at them."

"In other words, as long as he doesn't plot against the Heaven-controlling Bottle, a treasure that contains the secret of time travel, Han Li will not pay too much attention to the variables on this timeline. After all, the appearance of 'another him' is the biggest variable."

"It is said that 'small trends can be changed, but big trends cannot be changed'. This big trend is the Heaven-controlling Bottle. No one can take the Heaven-controlling Bottle away from 'the other him' (the mortal Han Li)."

"From the perspective of Han Li's cultivation purpose and methods of doing things in the reincarnation, his goal this time is not power or the position of Daoist Patriarch, nor is it to transcend the Heavenly Dao, but revenge on Gu Huojin, the Lord of Heaven."

"Obviously, from the fact that Samsara Han Li only dared to develop the Samsara Palace secretly and did not dare to confront Gu Huojin head-on, we know that although he is proficient in the law of Samsara, he still does not have the confidence to defeat Gu Huojin. This can also be seen from the final battle in which Samsara Han Li, the Demon Lord, Han Li and the spirit of the Heavenly Bottle joined forces to besiege Gu Huojin, which shows Gu Huojin's strength."

"Under such circumstances, another self appeared and obtained the Heaven-controlling Bottle, embarking on a path of cultivation that was even easier than his own. In the reincarnation Han Li's plan, the mortal Han Li must be an important helper in his future revenge."

"From the original plot, when Han Li, who was reincarnated, confessed his great hatred with Gu Huojin to Han Li and invited Han Li to join forces, it can be seen that with another Han Li who cultivated the law of time joining forces with him, the two supreme laws, and the treasure of the Heaven-controlling Bottle, the probability of successful revenge will increase a lot."

"According to the original plot, although the reincarnation Han Li did not dare to contact Han Li directly because of his fate, for fear that the prophecy Daozu or Gu or Jin would find out something was wrong, but when someone plotted to take the Heavenly Bottle, they would definitely intervene."

"Under such circumstances, the Lord of the Samsara Palace, whose lifelong goal is revenge, will never allow anyone to ruin his plan!"

“So, when I was about to take away the Heaven-controlling Bottle, the one who made me terrified for a moment was undoubtedly Han Li, the reincarnation who was far away in the fairyland!”

“It seems that the Heaven-Handling Bottle, a treasure of this universe that contains a trace of transcendence, is not impossible to snatch. But if this treasure falls into the hands of the mortal Han Li in this timeline, with the convergence of cause and effect and with the reincarnation Han Li watching from the side, it will be impossible for others to snatch it! Unless their cultivation level can surpass the peak Daluo level of the reincarnation Han Li!”

“Also, to be on the safe side, if one wants to seize the Heavenly Palm Bottle in this timeline, one must do so before the mortal Han Li is born—before the reincarnated Han Li senses the simultaneous appearance of another self and sets his sights here!”

“In this way, as long as we get the treasure first, the divine object will hide itself, just like when Han Li and Li Yuanjiu got the Heaven-Holding Bottle. As long as they don’t say anything, the Heaven-Holding Bottle cannot be measured by any existence, and no one can know that the Heaven-Holding Bottle is in their hands!”

"So, I missed this treasure back then because I was reborn too late?"

"Now there is a new problem..."

Lu Tiandu frowned as he thought of this. "Over the years, I have had a lot of involvement with the mortal Han Li. If Han Li knew that I was a treasure thief, he would have noticed something strange in my cultivation life just like Gu Huojin. If I had a secret, he would have noticed it. Now that I am in the spirit world, it is not difficult for the Lord of the Reincarnation Hall to take action across the world, but I have never encountered a major crisis. Why is that?"
