Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"This is... the Black Owl King was beaten to death by Senior Lu?"

"A Mahayana monk died just like that?"

"Hiss... This seems to be the legendary True Spirit Zhu Yan? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lu actually possesses the True Spirit bloodline?"

"A combined cultivator killed a Mahayana cultivator? Is this the true strength of Fellow Daoist Lu?"

The cultivators from Tianyuan City stared at the huge golden giant ape figure bathed in silver-red blood mist in the sky, with an incredible look on their faces.

The changes that happened in the void in such a short period of time made many people feel a little unreal.

A moment ago, the red-armored giant transformed by Lu Tiandu was still trapped by the Black Owl King's Ring of Laws and seemed helpless. Everyone's expressions changed drastically, fearing that the Black Owl King would make a comeback in the end.

As a result, the next moment, Lu Tiandu transformed into Zhu Yan, and broke the ring of law as if he had opened the golden shackles and tore off the jade lock, performing a desperate escape.

Immediately afterwards, almost in an instant, Zhu Yan, transformed by Lu Tiandu, appeared in front of the Black Owl King and slapped him, actually destroying the Black Owl King's body.

Almost at the same time, the Black Owl King's Nascent Soul screamed and was captured by Lu Tiandu before he could even escape.

The process of Lu Tiandu's transformation into Zhu Yan and killing the Black Owl King happened almost in a flash, less than two moments. For a moment, all the cultivators recalled this brief scene, and each of them was still somewhat incredulous!

For tens of thousands of years, it has never been heard that a combined cultivator could kill a Mahayana cultivator, but now they are fortunate enough to witness this scene!
The next moment, when Zhu Yan, transformed by Lu Tiandu, let out a long roar towards the sky and regained his human form, countless cultivators in Tianyuan City shouted in unison with fanatical looks on their faces!
Another Mahayana fighter was born in the human race!
In an instant, the entire Tianyuan City seemed to have turned into a boiling ocean!
Just as countless cultivators were venting their excitement and enthusiasm, a hundred miles away, two figures standing in the air on the wall of Tianyuan City were looking at Lu Tiandu with shocked expressions.

One of them was wearing a green Taoist robe, and looked to be an old man in his fifties or sixties, with a head full of white hair and kind eyes. What was unforgettable was his natural birthmark: his ears were extremely long, almost reaching his shoulders.

The other man looked to be over 30 years old, wearing a silver robe, with a handsome face and silver hair scattered on his shoulders. If Lu Tiandu saw this man, he would definitely recognize him as Ao Xiao, the ancestor of the demon clan.

There is no doubt that the white-haired and long-eared old man is the human race's Mahayana master Mo Jianli.

"A combined cultivator killed a Mahayana cultivator? How is this possible? The Black Owl King couldn't even escape his Nascent Soul stage in the end. This..."

Mo Jianli looked at Lu Tiandu, who was now collecting the remaining flesh and blood, storage equipment and other spoils of the Black Owl King, and there was still some disbelief in his eyes.

The time when he and Ao Xiao returned to Tianyuan City was exactly the moment when Lu Tian was trapped by the Black Owl King with the Ring of Law. Before they could take any action, they were stunned by the sudden change.

He is also a Mahayana cultivator, how could he not understand the great power of Mahayana cultivators?
What's more, this Black Owl King has cultivated the thread of law, and his magical powers are incomparably vast.

As a result, not only was his physical body shattered by Lu Tiandu, but even his Nascent Soul was captured. What an amazing method!
Ao Xiao, who was beside Mo Jianli, had recovered from his shock and was now looking at Lu Tiandu above the city center with admiration on his face:
"Ao may not believe that other people can kill a Mahayana cultivator with their combined cultivation, but Tiandu is not an ordinary person, so killing a Mahayana cultivator who has cultivated the power of law seems to be nothing!"

"Fellow Daoist Ao actually knows this genius of our human race?"

Hearing this, Mo Jianli couldn't help but look at Ao Xiao beside him, seeming a little confused.

"Hey, old Taoist priest, didn't Ao tell me before that I would ask you to give a valuable gift to my granddaughter during her dual cultivation ceremony? This is my grandson-in-law!"

Ao Xiao smiled, feeling slightly pleased with himself.

After all, he was extremely proud that Lu Tiandu, a mysterious cultivator with a true immortal background, became his grandson-in-law.

"What? Grandson-in-law!? Linglong's Taoist partner for the upcoming dual cultivation ceremony is actually my human cultivator Lu Tiandu?"

Mo Jianli's eyes suddenly widened, surprised that Ao Xiao and Lu Tian actually had such a relationship.

"Why? Aren't they a good match?"

Ao Xiao snorted, "Do you know that the secret technique that Tiandu used to break the Black Owl King's Yuanying teleportation was the spiritual consciousness secret technique that Ao passed on to him?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Mo Jianli was surprised and could not help but look at his old friend again, "Daoyou really have good taste!"

"Such a person, a rare Dharma body cultivator in ten thousand years, and he has cultivated his body to such a level, it is really rare! He can even injure a Mahayana cultivator in the early stage by using his soul secret technique, what an amazing soul cultivation is this?"

After expressing his admiration, Mo Jianli couldn't help but look at Ao Xiao again with doubt in his eyes.

"I don't know that."

Ao Xiao couldn't help but shook his head. "Although I also know this secret technique, I don't have the spiritual cultivation as strong as Tiandu. It's impossible for me to cause such spiritual damage to a cultivator of the same level..."

“Before, I thought that the Black Owl King was about to leave after seeing Tiandu break free from the rope of the law and knew that he was no match for him. However, it seems that he was hit by some secret technique of Tiandu and was imprisoned for a moment…”

Ao Xiao recalled his previous observations and said slowly without hiding anything:

"After Tiandu blew up his body, I thought the Black Owl King should be able to escape with his Nascent Soul, but he was severely injured by the 'Spear of God Slayer' and was captured. Not to mention you, even I, who know a lot about Tiandu, was shocked. After more than a hundred years, Tiandu's combat power was far beyond my expectations..."

Not only do Mahayana cultivators have much stronger Dharma bodies than other cultivators, their Nascent Souls have also become completely solid, no different from their physical bodies, so they can travel alone.

Not only can they travel through the blue sky without fear of the nine-day strong wind, but even if they enter the cracks in space, ordinary space storms cannot cause any harm to them.

What's more, the Nascent Soul of a Mahayana cultivator can fly thousands of miles away in an instant, which is nearly ten times faster than the physical body.

When two Mahayana monks of similar strength fight, unless one uses the Xuantian treasure or a stronger power of the law to kill the other, even if the other is defeated, he can easily escape by entering the void crack with his Nascent Soul body.

This is the fundamental reason why Mahayana monks are difficult to kill.

As a result, Lu Tiandu not only used his secret technique to immobilize a Mahayana cultivator so that he had no power to resist, but also used the secret technique of the soul to interrupt the Mahayana cultivator's Nascent Soul teleportation and escape. This was the main reason why Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao, both humans and demons, were so astonished at the background of the two races.

After all, they had never killed a cultivator of the same level, and since Lu Tiandu was able to kill the Black Owl King, he also had the power to suppress them.

"After the death of the previous Saint Emperor, I knew a lot of information about this genius of our human race. I was originally planning to meet him after he advanced to the fusion stage, but I didn't expect to meet him under such circumstances..."

Mo Jianli seemed to be somewhat sad.

He did not mention that he had previously intended to accept Lu Tiandu as his disciple after he advanced to the fusion stage. After all, it was inappropriate to talk about this matter at this time.

"Brother Lu, your physical cultivation should have reached the eighth level, right? With such an amazing level of cultivation at over a thousand years old, you are truly a peerless genius that our human race has not seen in a hundred thousand years!"

Mo Jianli thought of the terrifying power of Lu Tiandu when he transformed into Zhu Yan, stroked his beard, and sighed again:
"This old fellow Sang Hai actually hid the Black Owl King without anyone noticing. I wonder how he will feel when he sees the Black Owl King's life soul lamp shattered?"

Thinking about how he was tricked by Sanghai of the Yaksha tribe into going to the wilderness and being trapped in a large formation, Mo Jianli couldn't help but sneer.

"What do you think? Why don't we join forces with the Heavenly Capital to surround and kill that old man Sanghai? Once Sanghai is dead, we and the other surrounding tribes can then divide up the Yaksha tribe?"

Ao Xiao's eyes turned and he couldn't help but suggest.

"With Fellow Daoist Lu joining us, it shouldn't be a problem for us to surround and kill Sang Hai. However, the Yaksha tribe is the strongest among the seven or eight tribes we have. Even if we divide up the territory of the Yaksha tribe, I'm afraid both of our tribes will suffer a lot of losses. Why don't we listen to Fellow Daoist Lu's opinion?"

Mo Jianli groaned, and his expression showed that he was somewhat moved.

"Let's go, let's go meet Tiandu!"

Ao Xiao also nodded, and the two of them took a step forward and disappeared in an instant.

……

In the void in the center of the city, after Lu Tiandu regained his human form, he casually released a golden purple vortex to collect the blood mist and other storage equipment left by the Black Owl King in the void. Ten years ago, after his body cultivation advanced to the seventh level, he felt that taking the fusion-level Qi and Blood Pill in his daily practice was no longer of any use to him.

Therefore, he had already refined the physical bodies of two early Mahayana cultivators from the Mayfly and Killer Whale tribes into qi and blood elixirs. Now, the physical body of the Yaksha tribe cannot be wasted for him.

Hearing the fanatical shouts of countless monks, Lu Tiandu smiled slightly and was about to ask the auction to continue, but when he casually swept his spiritual sense, he actually saw a familiar face in the escaping light that was shooting towards him.

The next moment, there were two more people in front of him.

"Tiandu greets Senior Ao!"

Lu Tiandu bowed slightly to Ao Xiao, then looked at the person beside Ao Xiao, "This must be Senior Mo from my human race, right? Tiandu greets Senior Mo!"

Having said that, Lu Tiandu bowed slightly again.

Two months ago, after Liaoying appeared, he learned from Liaoying that Ao Xiao seemed to have gone to the wilderness for urgent business, so he did not show up to meet him.

He didn't expect that the two of them would appear at this time. Could it be that the appearance of the Black Owl King was related to them?
"You're welcome, God!"

Mo Jianli flicked his sleeves, gently lifted up Lu Tiandu, and said with a smile, "I am Mo Jianli. Since you have advanced to the eighth level of physical cultivation, we can treat each other as equals!"

"In that case, I won't be polite that day!"

Lu Tiandu smiled lightly.

After all, the strength is there, so there is no need to be humble.

At this time, as Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli appeared in front of Lu Tiandu, the combined cultivators who had seen the two of them all showed expressions of surprise, and their figures flashed and they all stepped forward to pay their respects.

At this moment, after hearing Mo Jianli's address to Lu Tiandu and learning that Lu Tiandu's current physical cultivation level was comparable to that of a Mahayana cultivator, the other combined-body cultivators also had respectful looks on their faces and kept calling him "Senior Lu".

After some greetings, Lu Tian asked Mu Qing and other girls to continue holding the auction, and then he invited Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli to visit his cave for a chat.

As for Mu Qing's identity as a wood spirit, because she had just used it to refine a temporarily useless Thousand Illusion Pearl, even Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli did not discover her true identity.

Xuanzhen Palace.

After hearing that Mo Jianli had also sent his disciples to bid for a mustard seed cave mansion this time, Lu Tiandu also chuckled.

Now the fame of Xuanji Cave and Jiezi Cave has spread completely. This time, many veteran forces came to the auction specifically for Jiezi Cave. There is no doubt that after the auction, Yaochi Palace will definitely make a fortune.

After the three of them exchanged greetings, Lu Tiandu finally understood that the two people's appearance in Tianyuan City at this time period was indeed related to the Yaksha tribe.

Mo Jianli was trapped by Sang Hai's trick, leaving the human race in vain. That's when the Black Owl King sneaked into Tianyuan City.

Afterwards, Ao Xiao went to rescue them. After a period of stalemate, Sang Hai probably estimated that the Black Owl King had completed his plan, so he left. Finally, Mo Jianli escaped.

"The Yaksha tribe is really ambitious. Fellow Daoist Ao and I realized something was wrong at the time, so we hurried back... Fortunately, we had Fellow Daoist Lu, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss this time!"

Mo Jianli put down the wine cup and sighed, "Brother Daoist Lu has such an amazing physical cultivation at such a young age. I really admire him! Brother Daoist's Zhuyan bloodline should be extraordinary, right?"

"Tiandu does have several kinds of true spirit bloodlines in his body. As for his rapid progress in physical training, it is also due to many opportunities..."

Lu Tiandu smiled.

With his current Jingzhe transformation performed with the nine kinds of true blood power, not to mention the increase in the performance of various true spirit-level magical powers, his physical strength alone is far beyond the eighth level of body refining.

This is the basis for his ability to challenge the mid-stage Mahayana masters and kill the early-stage Mahayana cultivators.

Before, when the Black Owl King saw that things were not going well, he wanted to escape, but was frozen in place for a moment by him. The main reason was that after he transformed, although his true spirit form was not Rāhu, he could still display powerful spatial magical powers with the help of the space origin in his body.

Moreover, after decades of living with Youluo, his understanding of the way of space has changed.

In this case, the space sealing secret technique he used was enough to render an early Mahayana cultivator unable to move in an instant.

Moreover, although his magical power of immobilizing divine light could not temporarily immobilize the Mahayana monk, after performing the space sealing secret technique, he also secretly performed the immobilizing divine light. The combination of the two made it impossible for the Black Owl King to react even when he was on the verge of death.

"No wonder your physical cultivation progresses so rapidly, Tiandu!"

After understanding that Lu Tiandu's expertise in physical cultivation was related to his true spirit, Ao Xiao suddenly realized, "However, Tiandu, you were able to severely injure an early Mahayana cultivator by using the 'Spear of God Slayer'. Could it be that your spiritual cultivation has already reached the middle Mahayana level?"

"Your guess is correct. Tiandu has also had some opportunities in spiritual cultivation. Now his spiritual power has surpassed that of a mid-stage Mahayana expert!"

Lu Tiandu did not hide it and said.

"hiss--"

This time, after confirming Lu Tiandu’s true soul level, Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli took a breath at the same time.

After a cultivator advances to the Mahayana stage, it is extremely difficult to significantly strengthen his soul. Lu Tiandu was only in the initial stage of fusion, but his soul had reached the middle stage of the Mahayana stage. This was really too weird.

Of course, they also understood that it was because of Lu Tiandu’s strong physical body that he could bear such a powerful spiritual power.

The two of them resolved their doubts, and while expressing their admiration, they naturally would not inquire about other people's secrets of cultivation.

"Now that the Black Owl King is dead, Brother Lu, do you want to join forces with us to kill that old ghost Sang Hai..."

Mo Jianli told Lu Tiandu about the idea they had discussed before, namely to encircle and kill Sang Hai and divide the Yaksha tribe with other alien races, and looked at him with anticipation.

Even if he and Ao Xiao could eventually severely injure Sang Hai by joining forces, it would be difficult for them to kill Sang Hai's Nascent Soul. And with Lu Tiandu taking action, especially his powerful soul secret technique, Sang Hai would naturally be killed.

"I'm afraid not for now!"

Lu Tiandu hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and faced the two people's puzzled eyes, explaining, "It's not that I don't want to help, but it's not appropriate to start a war at the moment..."

Lu Tiandu then talked about the demonic calamity that would break out in about a thousand years.

Although the Mahayana monks from the spiritual world finally agreed to assist the Mahayana monks from the demon world in dealing with the Mother of Rice Borers, the invasion from the demon world only lasted about a hundred years before it ended.

But during this period, the six or seven tribes with Mahayana monks in the northwest corner all suffered more or less casualties among their monks.

If we kill Sanghai at this time and then fight a big war with the Yaksha tribe, it is obvious that there will be many casualties for both the Yaksha tribe and other small tribes involved in the genocide.

As a result, the power of various ethnic groups will inevitably be weakened when dealing with the demonic calamity a thousand years later, which is naturally very disadvantageous.

"Is this true?"

At this moment, Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao's expressions became serious.

When it comes to matters concerning ethnic heritage, the two cannot afford to be careless.

"Of course it is true. You can find a monk with a talent for divination to do another divination in a few years."

Lu Tiandu affirmed, "So for this period of time, everything can remain as it is. We still need the Yaksha tribe to play their remaining role in resisting the demonic calamity. Once we have survived the demonic calamity, we will then destroy these small tribes nearby and expand the area where our human race can survive. This is the correct strategy..." (End of this chapter)
