Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"I wonder if I should address you as Fellow Daoist Gu or Supreme Heavenly Lord?"

Lu Tiandu had a calm expression as he slowly rose into the air, looking straight at the huge dragon head. He bowed slightly and said, "I never thought I would meet you so soon!"

"Does fellow Daoist really know who I am?"

There was some inexplicable meaning in Gu Huojin's tone, and his golden dragon eyes flickered as he looked at Lu Tiandu again, "Daoyou, this 'oddity' is also not an ordinary person. In this case, let's just call you Daoyou!"

"Although I am an 'oddity', I am not omniscient. I only know some things that I should know. I believe that Fellow Daoist Gu has already anticipated some of Lu's anomalies!"

Lu Tiandu smiled calmly.

He can almost predict all kinds of opportunities in the human world and the spiritual world, so how could he hide it from the prying eyes of the past or present?

The last time Gu Huojin left a message, he did not leave his name. Wasn't this actually a kind of test for him?
When the two met this time, he did not show too much surprise, and was able to meet Gu Huojin calmly, and revealed Gu Huojin's origins right away, which obviously confirmed some of Gu Huojin's guesses from the side.

"It seems that the opportunity I've been waiting for may be with you, fellow Taoist!"

Gu Huojin's tone became serious at this time, "I originally thought that we would meet in the fairyland in the future, but I didn't expect that fellow Taoist is so extraordinary... If it weren't for a reminder from a good friend of mine, the day of our meeting would probably be a long time away..."

"If we are destined to meet, we will meet naturally. Even if you don't show up in advance, I will take the initiative to show up in front of you when I go to the fairyland in the future!"

Lu Tiandu said frankly, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for the gift last time! As for the opportunity..."

"That depends on what you want to get from me, Mr. Lu?"

Obviously, Gu Huojin and the prophet Taoist Chen Tuan who is likely to exist behind him also had some kind of divination about the mysterious ability of "obscuring the secrets of heaven" that would appear in him, which led to the scene where Gu Huojin appeared with the help of the golden page.

Of course, even without the protective ability brought by the stone furnace, when the innate yin and yang spirit is born in his body in the near future, it will also become an unpredictable existence.

"These small gifts are not worth mentioning, but fellow Taoist should understand Gu's good intentions!"

As the old saying goes, "Meeting is fate. Why don't you and I be honest with each other, cooperate sincerely, and get what we need?"

"Friend Gu, please speak frankly!"

"No matter what you were in the past, you are still very weak and need help from others. As the number one person in the fairy world, with the support of the Heavenly Court, I think I can help you a lot in your cultivation..."

"As for you, you are still very weak, but since you have some mysteries that even the two great Dao Ancestors like us cannot grasp, you are naturally qualified to trade fairly with us."

"Besides, since you have chosen to follow the path of immortality in this world, apart from the final battle for the Great Dao, I think there are many areas where you and I can cooperate. What do you think?"

"In addition, fellow Daoist, you can rest assured that this place has been covered by Gu's laws, and no one can know the slightest information about this place."

"Friend Gu is right!"

Lu Tiandu didn't seem to think much about it and nodded. "Although I am confident that I will be as high as you in the near future, why should I refuse if there is an easier path?"

"Besides, maybe when the time comes, we will fight side by side!"

"As for cooperation, I'm afraid I don't have much useful information for you, so just ask whatever you want to ask!"

"Well, fellow Daoist is indeed a wise man!"

Hearing this, Gu Huojin could not help but nod his head. After a brief pause, he continued:
"I don't want to delve into your past, but I have a few questions I'd like you to answer."

"Please say."

"First, I want to know the purpose of your coming to this world."

As he spoke, Gu Huojin raised the huge dragon head and looked at Lu Tiandu with burning eyes.

"Why can't I say this? Aren't we all pursuing the ultimate 'eternity' or 'transcendence'? I can live a second life and come here. This purpose is naturally the fundamental purpose of my existence!"

Lu Tian knew that the sex scene was coming, and now he was also serious and said, "As for Lu's past, it is not that I can't mention it. In my previous life, the cultivation method in Lu's world was very different from the immortal way of this world. It was called the way of 'technology'..."

"As for why I didn't cultivate the way of science and technology after my rebirth, it's because the fundamental laws of the two universes are already very different. Unless I have the magical power to change the world in the future, it will be difficult for this universe to give birth to the way of 'science and technology'!"

"I see."

Gu Huojin didn't seem to be very interested in the "technology" of foreign lands, but he was very satisfied with Lu Tiandu's limited honesty. Regardless of whether this statement was true or false, it solved his doubts about why Lu Tiandu took over other people's bodies and started from scratch after his arrival. He asked in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist, can you tell me what 'eternity' and 'transcendence' mean?"

He had a hunch that perhaps the benefits he could gain from this contact with Lu Tiandu would far exceed his expectations.

"My hometown is divided into small thousand worlds, middle thousand worlds and great thousand worlds. Compared with this universe, it is similar to the division of the mortal world, the spiritual world and the immortal world. Within the three realms, there are infinite worlds and billions of living beings. Those who are able to live are created by heaven and earth."

"The creation of heaven and earth is either thick or thin. The thick ones are born from the origin of heaven and earth. The thin ones are just ants that are born in the morning and die in the evening. Although the creation is either thick or thin, every living being is actually walking an unknown path of 'evolution' in the dark from the moment of birth. In this universe, it is the path of cultivating immortals!"

Lu Tiandu explained with great conviction, "From mortals to cultivators, from low-level cultivators to high-level cultivators, and then to immortals and even the Dao Ancestors, from step by step transcending the low-level to the high-level, the countless transformations of living beings, aren't they just walking on a path of transcendence?"

"You are the Dao Ancestor of Time and the Supreme Being of Heaven. As far as this universe is concerned, your path to transcendence seems to have reached its limit. However, even if you possess the origin of a supreme law and become the Dao Ancestor revered by hundreds of millions of immortals, you still have to resist the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao. Obviously, even if you are the Dao Ancestor of Time, your path of cultivation has not yet truly achieved 'transcendence'."

"Before I came to this world, I sacrificed my previous life's 'Dao Fruit' to get a glimpse of life. Since the birth of this universe, there has not been a true transcendent, which is also the main reason why I chose to come to this world..."

In fact, since he obtained the "World Proof of the Way", Lu Tian has already understood that if he wants to transcend by relying on the World Proof of the Way, the obvious way is to devour this universe where no transcendent has been born.

After all, this world has given birth to transcendents, and as long as these transcendents exist, this world cannot be destroyed by other existences.

Since Shizhu chose him and this universe, perhaps everything is a predetermined fate.

"Of course, from this glimmer of hope, I also know that fellow Daoist and his predecessor, fellow Daoist Ancient God, have been looking for various feasible methods for the final transcendence. The 'Three Thousand Dao Gods Formation' is indeed a brilliant creation. Unfortunately, in the end, fellow Daoist still could not transcend the constraints of the Heavenly Dao and did not take the final step to transcend this universe..."

"And if you can finally succeed and advance to the supreme transcendent realm of 'Eternal Realm', then you will have the 'position' or 'Tao Fruit' of the 'Lord of Eternity', and from then on you will be outside the Three Realms, no longer in the Five Elements, and will be immortal..."

"As far as this universe is concerned, after becoming the Lord of Eternity, this supreme being is already omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. His every word and action is the truth. It can be said that 'the heart of heaven is my heart, and the will of heaven is my will'..."

"The Lord of Eternity?"

Gu Huojin murmured something and fell silent.

Although Lu Tiandu's words didn't seem to contain much content, they still contained a lot of information for him.

It aroused his curiosity at once, and at the same time made him truly convinced that Lu Tiandu's predecessor was no ordinary person.

After a moment, he slowly said:

"The part of the future that Daoist friend glimpsed, will Gu eventually fail in the future?"

"Fellow Daoist Gu has combined the merits of his previous life and this life, and is considered the most capable of transcending existence in this universe. Unfortunately, in the future that I saw, although Fellow Daoist finally used the formation to condense a ball of chaos origin, in the end, Fellow Daoist did not comprehend the law of chaos. Not only did he fail, but he also died in the end." "As for this universe, from my experience, if I didn't exist, I'm afraid it would be difficult for another being to achieve transcendence."

As the ninth generation supreme being of heaven, Gu Daoshen was indeed the most brilliant person in the universe. Of course, because he exhausted his entire life's energy and overused the Daoist laws, he eventually had to face the erosion of the Heavenly Dao, and he became Gu Huojin after being seriously injured.

As to whether the Ancient Dao God voluntarily merged with the Self-Corpse in order to transcend the constraints of the Heavenly Dao or was forcibly devoured by the Self-Corpse Gu or Jin, it is unknown.

However, Lu Tiandu secretly believes that the probability of the two actively merging is greater.

After all, to some extent, the self-corpse is also a part of the main body. The soul, body, memory, etc. are originally one.

Before achieving the ultimate goal of transcending the constraints of heaven, who is the master and who is the subordinate is actually a trivial matter.

And since they appeared since ancient times or now, they have inherited the will of the ancient gods of the road and are dedicated to transcendence, and certain things can also be seen.

"The Law of Chaos? Daoist friend's words really surprised me!"

Gu Huojin was silent for a moment again, then spoke slowly.

Although he remained calm at this moment, his heart was already filled with turmoil.

Although everyone in the True Immortal Realm knows the three supreme laws, he is confident that even the prophecy ancestor Chen Tuan, who has a close relationship with him, does not know the name of this "Law of Chaos".

Lu Tiandu seemed to be extremely familiar with this, as if he had not just glimpsed the name of this law from the future.

The original body and his corpse fought against the Way of Heaven for countless epochs, and they figured out a way to transcend the Way of Heaven step by step, but they failed in the end!

Gu Huojin felt a little heavy in his heart when he thought of what Lu Tiandu had just said.

Of course, as a giant in the fairy world, with a lifespan of billions of years and countless experiences, although Lu Tiandu is extremely mysterious, he would not be discouraged by his words.

However, what surprised him was that Lu Tiandu actually claimed that he also had some confidence to achieve transcendence!

At this moment, he became more serious about what Lu Tiandu said.

"Since we want to cooperate, Lu will naturally have to show some sincerity."

Lu Tiandu said calmly, "Of course this ending is the original ending without Lu's participation. Now that Lu, this 'variable', exists, and Fellow Daoist Gu has just discovered Lu's existence, although the general trend in the future has not changed, isn't our meeting here today a variable?"

"There is a saying in my hometown, 'The wind starts from the tip of the green duckweed, and the waves form from the ripples.' A small change we make today is brewing a dramatic change in the future."

Hearing this, Gu Huojin was shocked, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice:
"You are right, fellow Daoist. I am Gu who is obsessed with appearances! I wonder what realm fellow Daoist Lu was in in his previous life?"

"Although the cultivation method of Mr. Lu in his previous life was very different from the immortal path of this world, the road of evolution can be said to have the same destination. Although Mr. Lu has never reached the heavenly status of the Taoist Ancestor of this universe who has unified the original law of one Dao, he was once an existence similar to the peak of the Daluo of this universe."

As Lu Tiandu spoke, he seemed to see the doubt in Gu Huojin's eyes and continued:

"Fellow Daoist Gu, you want to ask me why I mentioned sacrificing the 'Dao Fruit' before, since I have only such a low level of cultivation, and why I was able to cross the boundary and come to our universe?"

"This matter involves a great secret in cultivation, and I'm afraid no one in this world knows it. It's fate that we met today, and I, Lu, will explain it to you."

"As Lu said before, if you want to truly achieve transcendence in this universe, you must become the Lord of Eternity. And the key to becoming the Lord of Eternity is to obtain the Great Dao position or condense the Great Dao fruit."

"In fact, the position of the Dao Ancestor in this universe is also a kind of heavenly position, but it only belongs to the heavenly position."

"As for the Dao Fruit of the Great Dao, it naturally involves the Dao Law. Daoist Fellow Gu, you don't think that only the Law of Chaos can lead to transcendence, right?"

Lu Tiandu said this with a smile on his face as he looked at Gu Huojin.

"What? The way to transcendence is not just the law of chaos?"

Gu Huojin was surprised, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably relieved.

In fact, ever since he confirmed that the purpose of Lu Tiandu, the mysterious foreign visitor, was also to transcend, he had been feeling a little worried.

After all, there is only one law of chaos. Who can finally accommodate this law?
Even if the two have no conflicts now, when Lu Tiandu grows up, they will still face a fight for the opportunity to transcend.

Although he could kill Lu Tiandu's physical body in front of him with just a thought, he understood that since Lu Tiandu dared to appear in front of him, he must have a trump card to save his life.

Even if he killed Lu Tiandu in front of him, given some of Lu Tiandu's mysteries, he would probably be reborn in some place that he could not describe.

By the time Lu Tiandu is resurrected again, it will be almost impossible for him to find Lu Tiandu again.

In this way, there is no doubt that the two will be mortal enemies in the future.

Naturally, he didn't want to make a big enemy with such an unknown existence.

As long as it does not hinder his plan of transcendence, he will be tolerant of others.

Hearing that Lu Tiandu was talking about more than one great law, Gu Huojin felt relieved temporarily.

"Please enlighten me, fellow Taoist!"

Gu Huojin said with an attitude of listening humbly.

"This matter has to start with the acquired laws and the innate laws..."

Lu Tiandu briefly explained the difference between the two types of rules:

"The three thousand laws generated after the birth of the world can be comprehended and practiced by everyone as long as their divine thoughts enter the sea of ​​laws. They have traces to follow, but even if one cultivates laws such as time, space, and reincarnation, it is impossible to achieve transcendence. To achieve transcendence, one must master the innate laws."

"The innate laws were created before the universe and the earth. They are the laws that were conceived in the chaos before the universe and the earth were created. According to the cultivation knowledge I gained in my previous life, there are a total of forty-nine such laws..."

Lu Tiandu talked about some secrets of cultivation that he inherited from the stone bead world, but he did not mention anything like "There are fifty great ways, forty-nine heavenly evolutions, and one is missing."

The Chaos Relic in the Zhantian Bottle is one of the "escaped ones" of this universe and is also the greatest opportunity. How could he possibly reveal it to others?

"Among these forty-nine innate laws, there are five that are called supreme laws or great laws, and the law of chaos is one of them. If you comprehend these five great laws and eventually condense the fruit of the Dao, you can be promoted to the Lord of Eternity and truly transcend the universe."

"As for the other forty-four innate laws, although their power and potential far exceed those of the acquired laws, even if one comprehends any one of them thoroughly, one can only condense an illusory Dao fruit. This realm is also called the 'Lord of Creation', which is considered a half-step to transcendence. One already has the strength to leave one's own universe and enter the Chaos Sea to find other opportunities for transcendence."

"Of course, even these forty-four laws cannot be comprehended by everyone."

"The Dao Fruit sacrifice that Lu mentioned before is naturally just the Dao Fruit condensed from one of the forty-four innate laws that were sacrificed!"

"So, do you understand, Fellow Daoist Gu?" (End of this chapter)
