Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Except for the beloved True Spirits of Heaven and Earth who can freely travel between the human world and the spirit world without restrictions, even Mahayana cultivators cannot descend directly into the human world. This shows that the human world is too weak. If these Daluo and Daozu dare to cross the boundary and attack, the power of the laws contained in their every move is enough to destroy the entire human world in an instant!"

“So even if he sensed my intention to seize the Heavenly Vase in the human world, the Lord of the Samsara Palace who took action could only suppress my soul with his divine thoughts, but he could not directly use his great magical power to erase my existence.”

Thinking of this, Lu Tiandu suddenly seemed to understand something:
"But the spirit world is different!"

"In the Spirit Realm, which is a medium-sized interface close to the Immortal Realm, there are examples in the original plot where Ti Hun awakens the bloodline of the Punishment Beast and advances to the Mahayana stage, and is noticed by the mighty ones in the upper realm and is summoned away directly with great magic power. After Nangong Wan advances to the Mahayana stage, the Lord of the Samsara Hall believes that she is the reincarnation of Gan Rushuang, and is directly led to the Immortal Realm with great magic power. These examples are enough to show that in the Spirit Realm, a plane where true immortals can descend and where the laws are relatively solid, as long as these Dao Ancestors discover something that is closely related to themselves, they will not hesitate to use their great magic power to attack across the realm."

"So, in the human world, the Lord of the Samsara Hall could only suppress me with his divine thoughts, and he didn't dare to attack from across the world for fear of destroying the human world and causing more variables. But now that I'm already in the spirit world, he hasn't attacked me again. There must be some variables that I don't know about!"

"And this variable must be related to the past or the present!"

“Although the Lord of the Samsara Palace could secretly observe Han Li’s development and encourage Han Li to obtain the Heaven-controlling Bottle, he didn’t know that because of me, a visitor from another world, the Heavenly Supreme Gu Huojin actually turned his attention to this human world and followed my sight to discover the existence of the Heaven-controlling Bottle…”

“So, if my guess is correct, the moment the Samsara Palace Lord’s divine consciousness was projected, it must have been blocked by Gu Huojin who had been watching my movements from the side!”

"And until now, I have not received any attack from the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation. I am afraid that in the past or present, when he was trying to attract the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation and conceal the secrets of heaven, he had no idea that I was the one who was plotting to seize the Heavenly Bottle."

"Moreover, the Lord of the Samsara Hall is probably more suspicious that Gu or Jin has discovered the existence of 'another him', which has caused him to not dare to pay attention to the mortal Han Li and the Heavenly Bottle for a short period of time!"

"Perhaps this is the real reason why I was able to successfully steal a drop of green liquid later?"

"So, the Master of the Samsara Palace's divine consciousness was blocked, but the divine consciousness suppression that shocked my soul later was probably an ancient or modern method. I'm afraid he also had some intentions?"

"It is not only to remind me that this treasure has a great cause and effect, and that if I snatch it, there will be endless troubles. It is also to let me sense that someone is secretly watching this treasure, so that I should not act rashly? Or is it to expose this matter in the future and let me confront the Lord of the Samsara Palace?"

"No, Gu Huojin doesn't know that the owner of this divine thought is the Lord of Samsara Palace, nor does he know the true identity of the Lord of Samsara Palace. His main purpose is probably to prevent the owner behind the mysterious divine thought from changing the path of me, the 'oddity', without authorization!"

“But after learning that Han Li, the mortal who possessed the Heavenly Palm Bottle, had some similarities with an opponent he had killed in the battle of ‘The Seat of Law’, he must have been very suspicious of the owner of the mysterious divine thought and the identity of Han Li…”

"So, in addition to observing me, the 'oddity', Gu Huojin has probably been observing Han Li and the existence of the divine consciousness behind him over the years? After all, this matter also involves the treasure of the Heavenly Palm Bottle!"

"No matter what, I cannot ignore his help in this matter. This is also one of the reasons why I discovered that Gu Huojin and I have some causal intersections with each other with the help of this golden page, right?"

“However, from my previous investigation, I found that apart from this golden page, he and I have a deep connection, and it is definitely not just about the Heavenly Bottle. Apparently, after Han Li and I met in the Divine Hand Valley, Gu Huojin had already started some plans that I was unaware of but inadvertently stepped into…”

Until this time, Lu Tian had sorted out his memories of his past life and the various things in the human world back then, and finally connected all the clues into one.

At this moment, looking at the golden page in his hand, when Lu Tiandu immersed his consciousness into the golden page again, in addition to the original content on the golden page, there were actually a few more big words near "Red Lotus Divine Thunder":
"Looking forward to seeing you next time!"

"It seems that Gu Huojin took the initiative to appear in front of me this time, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, his divine consciousness was wiped out by Luying's passive defense before it could convey any other information!"

Lu Tiandu looked at Jin Ye and shook his head slightly. "In the end, he only had time to leave eight words to show his goodwill. What will he want to know from me next time he shows up?"

"Since he knew that he had helped me block the divine thoughts of the Lord of the Samsara Palace before, and this time he only pointed out my identity as an 'oddity' but did not cross the boundary to attack me, it is obvious that he had some good intentions!"

"So this supreme magical power, 'Red Lotus Divine Thunder', can be considered a welcome gift?"

"Hehe, apparently he noticed my search for the thunder method 'Zhanian Zhenlei' that can directly attack the soul in the human world. In the end, I got this supreme magical power through Yin Yue's grandfather Ao Xiao. The only explanation is that it was a gift for meeting!"

"So, because of some restrictions or concerns, it seems that he is unwilling or unable to contact me directly, and he has not thought of contacting me through my Taoist partner. Instead, he communicates with me through people who are indirectly related to me. Is there something I don't understand?"

"Or was it that my previous causal interaction with him also occurred in this way?"

When Lu Tian thought of this, a thoughtful look flashed across his face.

The women who had close relationships with him had basically shared their furnace shadows with him. If there was anything unusual, even if he couldn't detect it, the Furnace of Creation would automatically remind him. Obviously, his causal relationship with Gu or Jin had nothing to do with these beauties.

But there are so many people related to her beauties that it is impossible to sort them out.

As for why Lu Tiandu attaches great importance to cause and effect, this actually involves certain contents of the transcendent inheritance he obtained from the stone bead world after he advanced to the realm of refining emptiness.

Among them, the law of cause and effect, as one of the innate great ways, although it is half a step weaker than the five supreme laws, it is far from comparable to the acquired laws of time, space, and reincarnation.

In fact, Lu Tiandu had been grateful before, so he used the "world coordinates" function of the stone bead world to go to the human world, and finally left behind his inheritance. As well as clearing the evil spirit from the human world that year, it was also to resolve certain causes and effects with this human world.

"I'll have to pay attention to this matter later. However, this supreme magical power, 'Red Lotus Divine Thunder', is extremely important to me. After all, I have come to the spirit world now and have searched for more than 200 years. I have never heard of any thunder method that can directly hurt the soul. This shows how mysterious and rare this thunder method is!"

"Since Gu Huojin is willing to impart this supreme magical power to me, I will naturally not refuse it!"

Thinking that he had obtained a supreme magical power that even the Daluo and Daozu of the Immortal Realm valued, Lu Tiandu felt a little happy.

Over the years, he practiced several True Spirit-level thunder magic skills and the soul-killing secret technique of the Spear of God, and often used the power of the thunder origin nurtured in the divine eyes of the sky, trying to merge the thunder origin with a small part of the spiritual consciousness to create a soul-destroying thunder method.

Through this extremely difficult process of exploration, Lu Tiandu already knew that the thunder method 'Zhanian Zhenlei' that was circulated in the human world and could directly attack the soul was just the delusion of the ancestors in some ancient books.

It is impossible for cultivators in the human world to create such a secret art. After all, the innate condition for this kind of secret art is to have a strong soul.

Without a strong spiritual cultivation, an ordinary thunder technique is enough to seriously injure the cultivator's soul. How can one let the soul merge with the power of thunder, and let the spiritual consciousness containing the true meaning of thunder pass through the opponent's body, and kill the opponent's invisible and intangible soul without destroying his body?
Lu Tiandu's current soul strength is almost comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of fusion. Even so, every time he tries to integrate the origin of thunder, part of his soul will be damaged. The soul power of cultivators in the human world is at most at the level of transformation. How can they achieve this?
Let alone the spirit world, I'm afraid that even the immortals in the immortal world cannot achieve this without special secret techniques. This can be seen from the fact that there are more than 200 kinds of thunder in the immortal world, including sky thunder, ground thunder, and cloud thunder, and there are only a few thunder methods that can directly attack the soul. At this time, Lu Tiandu did not look closely at this Red Lotus Divine Thunder, and thought of another thing.

“Although the abnormal movement of the Heaven-Holding Bottle was intercepted by Gu Huojin and the Lord of Samsara Palace was lucky enough to escape, I also returned the little drop of green liquid afterwards. It seems that no one has touched the Heaven-Holding Bottle, and the Heaven-Holding Bottle has always been in Han Li’s hands.”

"However, Han Li and I have had many interactions over the years, and it can be said that I have had a significant impact on his cultivation career. After all, the Lord of the Samsara Hall has experienced this period of life, and he must have noticed the existence of me, a variable who can 'predict' the plot..."

"In other words, not only Han Li is being watched by Gu Huojin and the Lord of Samsara, but I am also being watched by the Lord of Samsara. But the Lord's attention to me is probably more secretive?"

"Until now, the Lord of the Samsara Palace has not shown any intention of making a move to test the situation. Either he is blocked by Gu or Jin every time he makes a move, or he is also planning something in secret?"

Lu Tiandu looked puzzled when he thought of this.

"After the incident with the Heavenly Bottle, I thought it was over. Apparently, everything is still dormant and brewing!"

"Because of the original plot, I deeply understand that Han Li in this timeline is undoubtedly the son of destiny, and he is also the biggest variable in whether this universe can produce transcendents in the future."

“So after I seized the teleportation array leading to Chaos Star Sea and cut off Han Li’s path to Chaos Star Sea for rapid development, I actually started some kind of exploration.”

"Although Han Li failed to go to the Chaos Star Sea as per the original plot, he eventually went to the Five Dragon Sea through another unknown ancient teleportation array. With the help of the Heaven-controlling Bottle, his cultivation progress was not delayed at all. Instead, his cultivation became stronger than that in the original timeline, and he also obtained the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Vine in advance."

"And when he finally appeared in the dark place in Luohou's belly, I knew that this kind of child of destiny must not be suppressed. The more he is suppressed, the more unexpected variables will occur..."

"After that, in order to prevent the plot from changing too much and out of control, I adjusted my strategy. It was called a deal, but in fact it provided Han Li with many conveniences in his cultivation. Because of this, every step of Han Li's development was under my watch. Although he progressed faster than in the original plot, it was not out of control."

"And the process of sneaking into the spirit world is obviously a change that cannot be controlled!"

"In order to prevent Han Li from escaping from my sight and causing some uncontrollable changes, I made various arrangements for his smuggling. Fortunately, everything was as I expected."

"In this case, it is obvious that all these changes cannot escape the eyes of the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation. So, now that Gu Huojin has appeared, perhaps it won't be too surprising if the Lord of the Wheel of Reincarnation appears in the future?"

“Although Gu Huojin seems to have good intentions, I don’t know his true purpose. I can’t rely on the kindness of others for my life and death. In addition, the Lord of the Samsara Palace is secretly spying on me. It seems that I need to make some preparations as soon as possible!”

"My biggest trump card is the stone bead world that is closely related to me and the rare treasure, the Creation God Furnace, that was born in this world. Now my cultivation is limited, and the authority I can control over the stone beads is also limited. One of the things I want to do is to improve my cultivation as soon as possible and refine the Creation God Furnace to gain more authority."

"Secondly, no matter whether it is the ancient or modern or the Lord of the Samsara Palace, they can't possibly know that a trace of the innate yin and yang origin has been born in my body. If the innate yin and yang law can be born in my body, as one of the laws of the great way, I will be an unpredictable existence. Unless the heavenly way of this world has an independent consciousness, even the Dao Ancestor who has cultivated the three supreme laws to the extreme cannot control my whereabouts."

"To produce the innate Yin-Yang Law, one must first condense the Law Yuan Ling, and the condensation of the Law Yuan Ling is closely related to the amount of the Law Origin. Now I want to obtain more pure Yang and pure Yin power. Obviously, apart from practicing dual cultivation with more high-level female cultivators who have Yuan Yin power, there seems to be no other way..."

"But if this is the case, when will it be possible to condense the Law Spirit?"

"In this case, before that, I must first stabilize Gu Huojin and prevent him from attacking me directly because of something. At the same time, I must use him to block the spying from the Lord of the Samsara Palace?"

"It goes without saying that the focus of the Samsara Hall Master is still on Han Li. Under such circumstances, I must try to reduce my direct contact with Han Li to prevent any unexpected incidents. Of course, although the possibility of this happening is very small, we still need to be on guard."

“Are there any other loopholes besides this?”

"Nangong Wan? No, Nangong Wan is not important. Or rather, Nangong Wan who did not become a Taoist partner with Han Li in this life is not the key."

When Lu Tiandu thought of this, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life he had seen on a forum that some people believed that Nangong Wan was the reincarnation of Gan Rushuang.

Whether in his previous life or now that he is experiencing it himself, he has always scoffed at such statements.

Why is it impossible for Nangong Wan to be the reincarnation of Gan Rushuang?
Because Gan Rushuang had died in the battle between Han Li and Gu Huojin in Han Li's first life, at the last moment Han Li relied on the time law infused into the Palm of Heaven Bottle before his death to travel back to the past and survive.

At this time, he was only accompanied by his daughter Gan Jiuzhen, who was sealed in the fairy jade ring with Gan Rushuang, but not Gan Rushuang or her remaining soul.

Finally, during the process of traveling through time and space, not only did the Heaven-Handing Bottle fall into the River of Time and was later obtained by Li Yuanjiu, but the immortal jade ring that sealed Gan Jiuzhen also fell at a point in time similar to the birth time of the mortal Han Li.

Later, when Han Li turned to practice the law of reincarnation, he achieved the peak of Daluo cultivation and founded the Hall of Reincarnation. Only after a long time did he find the sealed Gan Jiuzhen.

It was then that the Lord of the Samsara Palace unsealed Gan Jiuzhen, allowing her to appear in various fairy realms as Jiao San of the Samsara Palace.

Of course, during this process, because he was also afraid of Gu Huojin and the prophet Chen Tuan, like Han Li who handled this timeline, he did not dare to confront Gan Jiuzhen.

This is also the reason why in the original plot, when Han Li ascended to the fairyland and met Gan Jiuzhen, her cultivation level was very low, because it was not long before she opened the seal and started practicing again.

However, Gan Rushuang had already died that year and did not travel through time and space. The existence of the variable Han Li on the current timeline was due to Han Li's travel through time and space. Also because of the butterfly effect of Han Li's travel through time and space, Gan Rushuang did not appear in this timeline but Nangong Wan. Her life has been completely changed, and she and Gan Rushuang are two people with different lives.

Moreover, when Gan Rushuang was practicing the law of reincarnation, Lu Tiandu and Nangong Wan had practiced dual cultivation countless times, but did not find any trace of reincarnation power in Nangong Wan's body. So he knew that Nangong Wan was not Gan Rushuang's reincarnation, and had nothing to do with Gan Rushuang. She had her own life.

From the original plot, the Lord of the Reincarnation Hall forcibly stuffed the memory of Gan Rushuang into Nangong Wan's brain in order to make her become Gan Rushuang. In the end, Nangong Wan still chose Han Li, her Taoist partner in this life. It can also be seen that she knew in her heart that she had nothing to do with Gan Rushuang, and it was just the forced manipulation of the Lord of the Reincarnation Hall.

Therefore, since Nangong Wan and Han Li have no connection in this timeline, it is impossible for Han Li to connect Nangong Wan and Gan Rushuang together. (End of this chapter)
