Chapter 431: Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou

"Is it this?"

Li Rui gazed at the panel.

【Age: 25】

The two characters for "age" were exceptionally conspicuous.

If his guess was correct, the system must have bypassed the stele's detection!

Despite being nearly a hundred years old, on the system, he remained a young man in his prime.

A great stroke of fortune!

Li Rui had originally thought it impossible for him to enter the Grand Void Dojo, but he hadn't expected such a reversal.

He was overjoyed.

'How can I, Old Li, not be considered a young prodigy?'

Li Rui couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

This Grand Void Dojo contained immortal legacies; being blocked outside would certainly have been depressing.

Now that he could enter the dojo.

Even a small gain would be enough for the current him to obtain a share of fortune.

Having gained the stele's recognition.

Li Rui now had the qualifications to enter; otherwise, he would surely have triggered the Grand Void Dojo's restrictions. At best, he would be expelled; at worst, he might lose his life directly. Although this Grand Void Dojo was not a physical place, who could say for sure what an immortal's methods were capable of?

He confirmed that the stele no longer reacted before lifting his feet and walking toward the depths of the Grand Void Dojo.

He naturally dared not think of the Twelve Towers and Five Cities in the sky.

He intended to play it safe and first seek opportunities among the halls on the ground.

Unlike those arrogant prodigies.

Li Rui didn't look at the towering palaces at all, instead focusing his gaze on those that appeared inconspicuous.

The more magnificent the palace, the higher the status of the Immortal Lord within must be.

High status meant a high cultivation realm.

The higher the realm, the greater the difficulty in obtaining the legacy.

He had already obtained one heaven-defying stroke of fortune.

Being able to enter the Grand Void Dojo was already excellent.

Naturally, he had to play it safe.

A stronger legacy was certainly good, but one had to have self-awareness; it was better to be practical and play it safe.

Moreover, Li Rui passed by several majestic halls.

Just the aura leaking from them was more than the current him could bear; going there would be a wasted trip, so it was better to seize the time to find a legacy suitable for himself.

Li Rui gradually quickened his pace.

Finally.

He stopped in front of a small hut in a corner of the white jade square.

Not bad.

The hut before him, only a zhang high, was hard to call a palace.

Small huts like this were almost all distributed on the very edge of the dojo. The strength of the Daoist Lords living here was generally not too strong, and the possibility of obtaining a legacy was greater.

However, the reason Li Rui stopped.

Was because of the plaque on this small courtyard.

On it, several lines of words were written in a dragon-flying, phoenix-dancing style.

"Nurture essence and Qi to nourish the spirit, spirit and dantian Qi nourish the body. One who learns this art, is an immortal who never ages."

What was even more interesting.

The Daoist title of the owner of this small courtyard was actually Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou.

Li Rui pondered for a moment, then stepped into the hut without hesitation.

The room was not large.

The furnishings were even simpler: just a bed, a table, and a cabinet.

The moment Li Rui stepped in.

A gentle old man's voice reached his ears: "Entering this door, you are a guest of longevity; little friend, you have an affinity with me."

The next instant.

The figure of an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared before Li Rui.

He was startled at first.

But then Li Rui discovered that the old man's projection was merely a phantom, not even counting as a remnant soul.

Only then did he completely set his mind at ease.

He pondered the old man's words just now.

Suddenly, he recalled the slight, imperceptible anomaly when he entered the door.

A flash of realization appeared in his eyes.

It turned out the trial had begun the moment he entered.

And this old man's trial neither tested the heart nor tested strength; it was actually monitoring longevity.

If he hadn't cultivated the Wan Gu Chang Qing, he probably wouldn't have been able to enter this door.

As expected of an immortal's methods.

Compared to the previous trials, this one seemed relaxed and effortless.

Working in silence.

But if one thought it would be simple because of this, they would be gravely mistaken. It seemed simple only because the person being tested was Li Rui.

Nothing more.

Looking at the old man again, he gazed at Li Rui with a peaceful expression and continued to speak:

"The struggle of non-struggle, longevity and health; the ten thousand laws of heaven and earth, the Dao is simple. I do not like fighting, I only seek longevity."

This projection of the old man, Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou, said leisurely.

Every word and sentence actually aligned with the Great Dao.

Li Rui listened, mesmerized.

It was actually a transmission of the Dharma!

The more he listened, the more shocked he became. He never expected that Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou really had no other tests, skipping the intermediate steps and directly beginning the transmission.

An immortal's legacy!

Thinking of this, Li Rui's heart grew even more fervent.

Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou's projection said a lot.

However, the vast majority were ethereal discussions of the Great Dao, unrelated to immortal arts or immortal crafts.

Li Rui just kept listening like this.

Unknowingly.

He actually woke up from the bed.

Li Rui sat up.

His eyes were frighteningly bright.

What Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou said, while seemingly chaotic and obscure, taught the true meaning of eternal longevity—something that countless people sought but could not obtain.

From the few words of this Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou, Li Rui even understood.

This Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou was a great cultivator of ancient times; his immortal arts were mediocre, but he just happened to be able to live.

He had outlived countless powerful figures in one breath, and in the end, he managed to occupy a place in the Grand Void Dojo as an old man.

A model for our generation!

For Li Rui, who sought longevity, this Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou was exactly the goal he was striving for.

However, he was somewhat different from Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou.

Fufeng Zhenjun Wanshou was too extreme, even discarding all means just to increase his longevity.

Li Rui asked himself if he could do that.

For the current him, it was no different from seeking death.

Li Rui began his daily morning lesson again.

After finishing the Wan Gu Chang Qing, he stood up and pushed the door open.

Just as he stepped out.

He saw piles of soldiers being led out of the camp.

Li Rui was somewhat surprised.

At this moment.

Yuan Xiong, who was watching the excitement just like him, walked over.

Li Rui couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Yuan, what happened?"

Yuan Xiong had a gloating expression: "I heard that the Qingwei Sect's camp was attacked by demonic cultivators last night, and Prince Wei sent people to support them."

Support?

Li Rui raised an eyebrow.

Anyone with eyes could see that this wasn't support; it was clearly taking advantage of the fire to loot.

It was just that no one would point it out.

Yuan Xiong crossed his arms: "That guy Tan Hu took people there; should we go join the fun?"

Ever since the matter of the top-grade spirit stones spread.

The Fifth Prince Zhu Gan had ordered Xu Yan and Tan Hu to be responsible for this matter.

Leaving Li Rui and Yuan Xiong aside.

Clearly.

This was a clear indication that he didn't trust the two of them and didn't want them to interfere.

As long as the two of them guarded the camp well, they shouldn't meddle in other matters.

Therefore, Li Rui and Yuan Xiong were not very clear about the current actions of the Yu Kingdom.

Li Rui: "Let's go, let's go take a look."

After saying this.

The two followed at the end of the team and arrived at the perimeter of the spirit mine camp where the Qingwei Sect was located.

Tan Hu led a team to the camp gate.

And saw several people from the Wu Kingdom who had the same goal.

The general from the Wu Kingdom saw Tan Hu and chuckled: "General Tan, you've come too."

Tan Hu said in a muffled voice:

"By the order of His Highness, I have come to investigate."

"What a coincidence, I am also here to check the situation by the order of the Wu Envoy."

The Wu Envoy mentioned by that Wu general.

Was the official sent by the Great Wu to supervise the spirit mine; his situation was similar to Zhu Gan's, and he held a very high status in the Wu Kingdom.

The two met briefly.

And intended to enter the Qingwei Sect's camp.

At this time, several Qingwei Sect disciples were cleaning up the battlefield; quite a few Qingwei Sect disciples had died in the riot last night.

Besides the Qingwei Sect people, quite a few demonic cultivators had also died.

It was a mess.

Seeing Tan Hu and the Wu general appear.

One of the disciples showed a cautious expression.

While walking up to greet them, he gave a wink to a young disciple beside him.

The meaning was to go call for people.

"Everyone..."

He had just opened his mouth.

When he was slapped aside by the Wu general.

"Little brat, go play elsewhere; we are here to support."

While saying this, he strode into the camp.

The other Qingwei Sect disciples saw this and anger flashed in their eyes, but since Tan Hu and the Wu general were too strong, they were no match for them and dared not block them.

Just as Tan Hu and the Wu general walked into the camp.

A middle-aged Daoist appeared in front of the group.

"Everyone, please stay your steps."

Seeing the middle-aged Daoist appear, the smile on the Wu general's face faded: "So it is Daoist He Wenxuan; we heard that the Qingwei Sect was attacked by demonic cultivators last night."

"Demonic cultivators should be killed by everyone; my Wu Envoy specifically ordered me to come and see if there is anything we can help with."

"Daoist, you also know that the Wu Kingdom and the Qingwei Sect have a deep relationship; it is only right, no need to thank us."

The Qingwei Sect disciple guarding the gate finally recovered from the slap of the Wu general.

And heard such remarks.

He was instantly furious.

But he heard He Wenxuan say lightly: "The demonic cultivators have already been killed; thank you both."

The intention to send them away was clear.

A look of regret appeared on the Wu general's face.

His eyes kept glancing toward the Qingwei Sect's spirit mine.

If those demonic cultivators had died slower, perhaps they could have obtained more useful things.

Of course, they weren't here to help.

They just wanted to take the opportunity to spy on the Qingwei Sect's situation; usually, there were great arrays isolating them, so how could they see it so clearly?

"Please."

Daoist He Wenxuan's tone grew heavier.

The Wu general and Tan Hu didn't hesitate and turned to leave.

After all, Daoist He Wenxuan was in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm; although the two of them had the support of their two kingdoms' imperial courts, they would certainly not benefit if they started a fight.

Since the opportunity had been missed, it was better to leave.

"They're out."

Li Rui and Yuan Xiong, standing outside the Qingwei Sect camp, saw Tan Hu and the Wu group come out.

It had been less than a quarter of an hour.

Clearly, they hadn't gained any advantage.

Yuan Xiong: "This Qingwei Sect acts quite sharply, actually settling the demonic cultivators so quickly."

Li Rui nodded:

"Indeed powerful."

He stayed in the Qingwei Sect, so he naturally knew the Qingwei Sect's foundation.

Especially since it originated from the immortal cultivation world, some methods were completely unfathomable and extremely powerful.

Seeing Tan Hu and the Wu people leave separately.

Li Rui also turned around: "Let's go, Brother Yuan."

After saying this.

He turned and left.

The demonic cultivators had already begun their first round of attacks, and there would only be more in the future.

Of course.

The Qingwei Sect was not a pushover, and the disputes would only become more intense.

Perhaps the spirit mines of the Yu and Wu kingdoms would also suffer, so they needed to go back early to make preparations.

Otherwise, they would definitely suffer.
