Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 420: Fifty Years of Secret Realm

Wait until the turbulence passes.

Lu Ye managed to steady himself with great difficulty, but he saw nothing in front of him, behind him, and up and down, and there was no one around him.

In the lonely tunnel of time and space, it seemed as if he was the only one existing. This passage suspected to lead to a secret realm was like a spinning kaleidoscope, with colorful lights spinning madly around him, and invisible turbulence impacting him from time to time.

He was like being caught in a madly spinning drum, with no idea of ​​how much time had passed or where he was.

Lu Ye suppressed his fear and steadied himself. The problem now was that he was like an ant in an endless whirlpool, and he had no idea where he was or where he was going.

Moreover, the passage that was spinning like a kaleidoscope around him made him dizzy.

"Calm down first..." Lu Ye released Achou.

"Wow……"

Ah Chou had a good alcohol tolerance and never got dizzy, but now, after just a few breaths, the child actually got dizzy and vomited.

Lu Ye had no choice but to put Achou away.

"The Immovable Spiritual Sutra..."

He tried again, and a ball of green light suddenly appeared above the spirit, covering his whole body. But he found it was of no use, and he still felt dizzy.

There is abundant time power around him, but it cannot solve his current problem of chaos and disorder.

This is not the right time.

"The Immovable Spiritual Sutra!"

The road and the field changed again, and a ball of white light bloomed above the spirit, shining in harmony with the Seed of Time.

Above his spiritual body, in his sea of ​​consciousness he summoned the mysterious long stream visualized in the second sutra of cultivation. This long stream came from the void and went back to the void, mighty and majestic, with no one knowing where its beginning and end were, and it flowed forward in twists and turns.

When I first cultivated the Seed of Time, the river was surging with no banks on either side, and the water flowed freely. Later, when I cultivated the Seed of Space, two banks appeared on both sides of the river, but no one knew where they led to.

There are countless dark shadowy peaks on both banks, composed of large clusters of light and color patches, and the road and field are not very clear.

The Immovable Spirit Sutra was used, and white light shone down, instantly cleansing his body from top to bottom.

Lu Ye opened his eyes again, and white light flashed in his eyes. With the blessing of the Seed of Void, the Mozhu Secret Realm Tunnel in front of him changed its appearance.

I saw that the passage was full of colorful lights, all of which were turbulent currents of different sizes, some downward, some left and right, some upward, and some even swirled in a whirlpool.

There is also the complex one, with turbulence within the vortex, like a dead knot.

From an overall perspective, it was as if countless winds were blowing randomly in it, with no regularity at all. A cultivator who accidentally entered it would be like a small ant in the vast sky, being moved around randomly.

Look carefully again.

Among the many turbulent flows, one flow appeared particularly thick and was flowing downwards - let's say that direction was downwards.

If he had not cultivated the Seed of Void and become sensitive to the power of space, he would have been unable to determine the order of things among this pile of spatial turbulence.

Lu Ye exclaimed, feeling overjoyed, the Immortal Spiritual Sutra Seed really worked. Fortunately he spent half a day practicing before going into battle. It was true that having many skills is always a waste.

He tried to struggle and fly towards the "main" stream. It took him a lot of effort. He mistakenly flew into other streams several times. He stumbled, turned around, and it took him a long time to finally land on it.

Sure enough, once a person enters the "main" flow, his body becomes crooked and is not easily affected by the surrounding turbulence.

Lu Ye had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of the general outline of the sutras on the immovable and immortal spirituality.

The so-called seed of time requires the cultivation of the anchor of time to serve as a mark of time. Even if it is washed away by the turbulence of time, it can still find the starting time.

The Seed of Emptiness is the boat that one cultivates to cross the river, protecting the human body and the spirit, allowing it to float downstream without being overturned by the raging waves.

This is what needs to be cultivated in the next stage of the immovable and indestructible spiritual seeds of time and emptiness.

Lu Ye and his wife have a telepathic connection.

Now that I am floating up and down in the turbulence of this secret passage, am I not in danger of being overturned?

Wouldn't it be much safer if there was a boat to cross the river?
He immediately sat cross-legged to practice. He didn't know how much time had passed in the outside world. On this day, the white sky seed above his head grew bigger, fissioned, and finally turned into a small boat carrying him under his feet.

If he was swimming naked in the "main" stream before, this time he was steering a small boat, riding the wind and waves. Even if there were turbulent currents around him, it could not affect his body at all, and his speed suddenly increased by more than ten times as he went downstream.

Lu Ye was extremely surprised and sat cross-legged on the small boat condensed with magic power. Because he was bored, he chose not to practice the spiritual sutra.

The force of time and space is dense in this passage. There is no better opportunity to practice the two scriptures of immovability and indestructibility.

After an unknown amount of time, the Seed of Time split open again, and an anchor appeared on the small boat.

In the next stage of the Second Sutra, the Anchor of Time and the Ship of Sky are completed!

Lu Ye then sat cross-legged, with the protection of a boat, and floated downstream.

One day, he was practicing, and suddenly a ring of light appeared in front of the secret passage.

Pfft!
Before he could react, he fell out of the passage.

There are two crescent moons above my head, with the new moons facing each other. Just by looking at this strange moon, I know I am in a different world.

Below is a pair of moon mountains, with the same distribution as the double moons above. The aura of evil is rising to the sky, and there are a wolf flag and a turtle flag hanging above.

The mountains in both places are covered with a kind of tall black bamboo, which is several meters high and has a strange color. The bamboo leaves are like jade and tinkle when the wind blows. It is a species that Lu Ye has never seen in the human world.

Lu Ye didn't have time to think, he curled up in the air and transformed into a thick-skinned and tough monster ape.

His body rubbed violently against the air, sparks flew, and he fell from the sky and hit the top of a mountain.

On the top of the mountain, there was a green wolf several feet long, with its head held high and howling at the moon, breathing in and out the moonlight as it cultivated. Its aura was astonishing, and judging from the pressure it exerted, it was also a giant golden elixir monster.

Suddenly, Lu Ye fell from the sky.

The blue wolf was still trying to dodge, but when Lu Ye rushed out, a turbulence of time and space also rushed out from the void, clamping it from front to back and left to right, making it unable to move.

Boom!

Before the blue wolf could react, Lu Ye smashed it down from the sky and crushed it into a meat patty in a deep pit. It died so badly that even its soul was gone.

Lu Ye was dizzy and his limbs were weak after the fall.

The deep pit was surrounded by many frightened little demons who were looking out, but Lu Ye was knocked unconscious and couldn't get up for the time being.

Suddenly one of the little demons wailed and raised his army, shouting that he wanted to avenge the king.

Lu Ye's forehead lit up, and he called on Achou to charge out and cut him and his troops into two.

Afterwards, more than a dozen little demons jumped out to avenge the king, and among them there was even a little demon king who had established his foundation and instigated the other demons to resist.

Achou was feeling depressed after staying in the time tunnel for too long, so he started killing people, leaving countless innocent souls on his invisible sword.

It has transformed several times along with Lu Ye. Ordinary foundation-building techniques cannot block its sword at all, and even golden elixir spiritual weapons can resist it.

It killed half of the little monsters in this mountain, and it circled around them all, not allowing them to escape.

Finally, there was a clever little demon who knew how to kneel down, kowtow and beg for mercy. A few demons even crawled into the deep pit and lifted the body of Lu Ye demon out.

Only in this way can there be harmony and peace.

Lu Ye became the new king and ordered his men to tear down the wolf flag. He then used the flesh and blood of the previous wolf king to paint a new ferocious ape on the banner.

He first asked where this place was.

The demon who took the lead in kneeling was a white-haired monkey. He answered honestly that this was the Double Moon Realm. Of course, every hundred to thousand years, visitors from outer space would come here with the local specialty, black jade bamboo joints, so it was also called the Black Bamboo Realm.

This is the Wolf Howl Cave on Zuoyue Peak of Eryue Mountain in Mozhu Realm. The previous Wolf King has now turned into a pile of meat patties on the ground. Please give your instructions, new king.

Lu Ye laughed out loud. He finally got out of the passage and arrived at the right place.

Then I will just wait here obediently. When the secret realm opens, the visitors from the human world can enter the secret realm with bamboo joints. When the secret realm ends, they can follow them out and return to the human world.

I just don’t know how long I will stay and when I will be able to see my “fellow villagers” again.

While he was thinking, a huge golden turtle on the hilltop next to him secretly flew into the air, hid on the left and right, and watched secretly.

Lu Ye immediately took out the Blood Moon Thunder Slash from his storage ring. This semi-magical weapon, which had been spiritually activated, had heavenly thunder surging on it and floated above his demon body.

The big turtle knew how powerful it was and retreated quietly.

This is the end.

Lu Ye settled down in the Mozhu Secret Realm, occupied the magpie's nest, and became a golden elixir demon king under the disguise of a demon clan.

Because Ah Chou had killed so cruelly before, these little demons were so frightened that they almost dared not look directly at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye wanted to get some information, but the demons below were trembling and couldn't speak a complete sentence. Some small demons even began to flee one after another and went to the turtle king on the opposite hill.

Lu Ye pondered.

I just arrived in this precious land and finally settled down, but now I am alone again. This is not a good thing.

So he asked Ah Chou to spit out a lot of fine wine to shock the little demons, and made up a few jokes about the Monkey King.

He noticed that monkey monsters were the largest in number in this monster cave.

As expected, Sun Wukong was extremely popular, and soon, with the blessing of wine and stories, the restless demon calmed down.

Lu Ye firmly sat on the position of king and gradually figured out the situation.

First of all.

The Mozhu Secret Realm in the eyes of the human world is the Mozhu Realm in this world, with a double moon in the sky.

The double rings do not emit light during the day, and the celestial body in the middle of the double rings emits light, which is the sun. At night, the sun disappears and the double rings emit light, which is the moon.

In this place, the sun and the moon are actually one. They set and rise, and they actually move with this world as the center.

The passage between the human world and the Mozhu world was considered stable thousands of years ago when the tide of spiritual energy had not yet receded. At that time, the secret realm was opened almost once every hundred years.

Therefore, many humans and demons entered here, and later some of them did not leave the secret realm for various reasons, leaving many descendants in this world.

Especially in the human world ten thousand years ago, when humans defeated demons, the secret realm happened to be opened. Many demons, along with their slaves, fled here in panic and settled down here.

Today, the demon race has multiplied and become the second most powerful force in the Mozhu Secret Realm besides the indigenous barbarians.

Due to the depletion of spiritual energy in the human world, the Mozhu Secret Realm appears less and less frequently in the human world, so the number of humans coming here is much smaller.

After so many years of accumulation, there are also many "indigenous" humans living in this world.

However, the human race is considered the weaker party in the Mozhu Secret Realm. There are a few mortal cities that serve sects and families, and more humans are enslaved by the barbarians and monsters.

The Eryue Mountain where Lu Ye is located is remote, where even humans are rare, so the demon race can only fight among themselves.

The two great kings are the dead Jindan wolf demon and the turtle demon on the opposite side.

Now Lu Ye has taken over the position of the Jindan Wolf King and has become one of the new February Mountain Demon Kings.

Lu Ye subdued all the monsters under his command and found out a lot of information. His original intention to go out also calmed down.

It turns out that this Mozhu Secret Realm is rich in spiritual energy and abundant in output, but it also has many dangers of time and space turbulence.

There are several areas of rich production in this secret realm, which are usually protected by the turbulence of time and space. Only when the secret realm is connected to other worlds will the turbulence of time and space be transferred to other places. Only then will the indigenous barbarians, monsters, and humans take the opportunity to enter and explore with outsiders to seize opportunities.

According to Lu Ye’s understanding.

The "treasure house" in this secret realm is only unveiled to reveal its true appearance when visitors from outside arrive.

Normally, the secret realm will open in April or May to half a year later.

Lu Ye was sure that he had arrived too early, so he decided to stay at Eryue Mountain. With so many subordinates around, why should he go out and wander around by himself? Anyway, the good stuff had not appeared yet.

In addition, because he came too early, the people in the human world had not come yet, and without the black jade bamboo joints in the hands of those "outsiders", he could not leave this world.

From then on, he practiced with peace of mind. Wearing the disguise of a demon ape, he drove the demons to flatten the original demon cave. He then dug three layers of demon caves for himself, inlaid crystal skylights, mined jade to make bathtubs, introduced volcanic hot springs, and lived a luxurious life.

Every day he practiced and practiced again. When he was tired, he would fight with the Turtle King on the opposite side. Or when he was happy after drinking, he would continue to tell the story of Sun Wukong. He also became the bully of Eryue Mountain.

Who knew that Lu Ye waited and waited until he turned himself into a stone waiting for his wife.

Half a year has passed.

A year has passed.

Three to five years passed.

This Mozhu secret realm has not been opened yet.

Lu Ye suddenly felt something was wrong and guessed that the speed of time flowing in the two worlds was probably an outrageous number.

After enduring this for fifty years, they all became centenary apes.

Finally, the void of the Mozhu Realm was shaking recently, and the old white monkey who was the most experienced said that those alien visitors would be here again.

Now, the moon is shining brightly outside, and the gray moonlight shines in through the crystal windows.

Lu Ye was lying in the big bathtub, holding a crystal glass and drinking monkey wine.

While I was excited, I also felt lonely as the snow.

For fifty years, he has been hanging out with a group of monsters every day. Who knows how he managed to survive? After a long time, if it weren't for Ah Chou's company, he would have almost thought of himself as a monster ape.

There isn't even a girl they like around. The spiritual energy here is too abundant, so it's harder for them to transform than in the human world. They can't even enjoy themselves. It's really pitiful.

Of course, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and Lu Ye also got opportunities that others dare not even think about.

Even this ordinary February Mountain is better than any spiritual vein Lu Ye has seen in the human world.

He estimated that it was much better than the fourth-level spiritual vein of Lingyun Sect. Even if it was not as good as the fifth-level spiritual vein required for the Divine Transformation, it was almost the same.

With the help of the method of replenishing spiritual essence, he reached the tenth level of the Golden Elixir in just half a year. He only needed to endure for a while to reach the great perfection of the Golden Elixir, and then find the right opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

He felt resentful when he thought about the hardships he had endured over the past fifty years, so he decided to have some fun.

"Ding dong..."

Lu Ye shook the copper bell by the pond.

An old white-haired monkey immediately ran out of the cave and knelt down to greet him.

"My king, what do you want?"

This was the old monkey who first surrendered to Lu Ye and led the others to surrender. Lu Ye named him Baimao.

This old monkey is not very powerful, but because he is weak and can read the wind direction, he knows many secrets of the Mozhu Realm. Now he is the most trusted demon under Lu Ye's command, and he was promoted to be the leader, which should be the position of a little demon king who has just established his foundation.

“White Hair…” Lu Ye’s lips curled up into a sly smile, “Go, drag those human captives up.”

"This king will conduct the trial overnight today!"

"By the way, let the little ones dress up one by one."

Baimao understood what he meant, knelt down and kowtowed in response, then turned around and hurriedly made preparations.

After a while.

In a large cave in the demon's lair, candlelight was brightly lit. The spacious place was dug into a neat rectangular shape with a very regular layout.

At the innermost part of the cave, there is a stone platform with a long table on it and an armchair behind it. There is also a bamboo tube on the table with several long bamboo sticks inside.

And on the high platform, there was a large plaque hanging with four large characters written on it - A clear mirror hanging high!
Below the high platform was a smooth green stone slab that had been polished to a smooth surface. Twenty little demons stood solemnly on both sides, each wearing a black robe and holding a water or fire stick in their hands.

In addition, there are three guillotines with flashing cold light placed side by side in the cave, one with a dragon head, one with a tiger head, and one with a dog head.

At this time, Lu Ye, wearing a bright red robe, walked in from outside, swaying from side to side. He wore a double-winged hat crooked on his head, and the wings were flickering. There was a jade plate in the middle of the hat with the word "official" written on it.

He sat down on the armchair, crossed his legs and put them on the table, casually took out a long skewer from the bamboo skewer tube, threw it down and shouted.

"Take the suspect!"

Next to the table was a white-haired man in a green robe who was pretending to be powerful. He hurriedly shouted, "The king has ordered us to bring the suspect away!"
The demons below hurriedly lit the water and fire sticks, hitting them on the ground with a bang, and at the same time they shouted loudly with a long voice, "Power..."

Not long after.

Outside the cave, two people were being pulled up by the little demons.

The two men were wearing dirty white clothes that were almost unrecognizable in their original color. There were whip marks all over the clothes, and bloodstains of varying ages were all over the clothes.

There was a word "prisoner" written crookedly in the middle of the white-clothed man's chest.

Their bodies swayed in their prison uniforms, and their faces were thin and skeleton-like.

The two men looked up in grief and anger, and they were both old acquaintances of Lu Ye. From their skull-like thin faces, they could vaguely see their true appearance.

One is Shang Tianti, who is no longer handsome when young and has a pointed chin that can kill people, like a male snake monster; the other is Tianjizi, a monk with snow-white hair in his old age, who has lost his elegant demeanor and looks like a white mop that has turned into a spirit.

The two men no longer had the same temperament and grace, they had become extremely thin, their bodies were somewhat hunched, and there was a cloudy light in their eyes.

If an old friend saw this, who would dare to believe that these were two great Jindan masters?
