Chapter 459
Today's capital, the sun is in the sky, but there is morning glow in the east and sunset glow in the west, with ten thousand rays of light.
"Third Shixiong brother! Have you attained reality?"
The junior sister looked at her senior brother in surprise.
"Almost." Lin Jue returned to the courtyard and said to her, "Only the last step is missing."
"Which step?"
"This step."
Under the junior sister's gaze and the eyes of Wan Xinrong and others, Lin Jue took a step forward in the courtyard.
Just a small step, two feet long.
He was still wearing that Daoist robe, but it was not stained with a bit of dust, and his face was rosy, as if with divine light. And behind him, another Lin Jue stopped in place, also wearing that Daoist robe, motionless.
Lin Jue looked back and blew a breath.
"Hu..."
That shell dissipated with the wind.
From now on, no longer a mortal, no longer to be hurt by secular swords, no longer to be annoyed by bright guns and dark arrows. When he wants to drink, he drinks; when he wants to eat meat, he eats meat. When there is no thought, sitting for a hundred years will not be hungry or thirsty.
Can be as heavy as the world, can be as light as smoke and glow.
At the same time, everyone looked at the sky together.
Only seeing unusual clouds, human shadows, and strange beasts arriving in the sky.
I don't know where the immortal music came from, hearing it only makes the ears clear.
An old immortal came sitting in a purple cloud carriage, pulling a white cloud and floating down slowly, stopping above the courtyard, smiling and saying:
"He Xi, congratulations. I am Daoist Yuzhuan, passing by here on a cloud, seeing that there was morning glow and sunset glow in the afternoon, and ten thousand rays of golden light, it turns out that someone refined a Golden Core and became an immortal here. He Xi, fellow Daoist, you have attained reality from now on. I have nothing to give you, but I just happened to see a cloud in the sky, quite unique, so I brought it down for you."
Two boys also came down sitting on a white cloud:
"I am a boy under the throne of the Nine Heavens Guanxing Great Divine Power Micro-Child. My master heard that someone in the capital was refining pills and has been paying attention for a long time. Seeing the True Person become an immortal, he brought two immortal peaches as a congratulatory gift!"
Another middle-aged Daoist came sitting on a black bear:
"I am Daoist Qingxia, living behind the Nanshan. When you were meditating on the Nanshan, I saw you. It has been a long time since I saw a person who practices Yin-Yang Lingfa attain reality and master the Dao. He Xi, fellow Daoist. It's a pity that I have always been accompanied by clear breeze and bright moon, and have nothing to give, so I have to give you a clear breeze."
There were also divine beings coming in carriages with ceremonial guards:
"City God of the capital, Qu Le'an, congratulates the True Person on becoming an immortal!"
"Little, little god, road god outside the city..."
"Becoming an immortal in a chaotic world, breaking the lock with a pill, is this another immortal who is good at fighting? I am True Person Three Flowers Morning Origin!"
"Greetings, True Person Lin, and also greetings, divine beings and True Persons. Does the True Person still remember the subordinate? Back in Mount Modu, the True Person wanted to take the longevity wood, and the subordinate once went to ask my Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun for the True Person. Seeing the True Person's demeanor that day, the subordinate knew that there would be one more Lingfa immortal in this chaotic world, so my Husheng Husheng Zhenjun specifically ordered the subordinate to bring a plate of cinnabar fruits to congratulate..."
Divine beings arrived, bringing five-colored auspicious clouds.
Immortals visited, leading to immortal cranes and glow.
The courtyard was full of people, but in the courtyard, those who could see this scene, except for the junior sister, were only Wan Xinrong and others.
And they were all stunned.
Even Fuyao and the colorful civet cat opened their eyes wide, looking up at the sky without blinking.
I suppose the commoners outside the courtyard should be the same.
Just immortals, more than ten came.
Did Daoists who became immortals in the past have so many divine beings and immortals to congratulate them? Wan Xinrong and others searched through the legends they had heard and the strange books they had read, and only remembered that some people became immortals and gods, and had celestial officials, celestial soldiers, and servant immortal cranes to welcome them. But that scene was clearly different from today.
Lin Jue returned the salute to them one after another, also very polite:
"Seniors, greetings."
"The timing and location of your attaining reality and mastering the Dao are unusual. I think it is not as carefree as other fellow Daoists. Looking at this, there are still some bumps and some trivial matters. Please finish the things before you, and then come to find us to drink wine, taste tea, watch clouds, and enjoy the moon."
One by one, True Persons and immortals left their names and addresses, either riding clouds and mist, or sitting in golden wheels and purple cloud carriages, or sitting on rare birds and strange beasts, and left one after another.
Ji Xianren cranes, immortal music, auspicious clouds, and glow all disappeared one after another as they left.
But some congratulatory gifts were left—
Most of the idle immortals were very casual. Some brought a pot of wine they brewed themselves, some brought a jade cup, some brought a cloud they pulled down at will, and some only brought a clear breeze.
These immortals were all very carefree, as if the disputes between the Nine Heavens and the secular world today had nothing to do with them. I don't know if they had already seen through it, or if they had always been practicing and becoming immortals in the mountains, or if they had become immortals in peaceful and prosperous times or ancient times, and thus were able to transcend.
Divine beings brought more spiritual pills and immortal fruits. Lin Jue also saw the original version of the pill fruit that he and his junior sister had eaten. It turned out that it was indeed called cinnabar fruit.
However, except for the junior sister who looked at that plate of original pill fruits because she was familiar with it, almost everyone's eyes looked at the white cloud floating in the middle of the courtyard.
That cloud was so low, just one zhang above the courtyard.
That cloud was also so solid, being so close, it didn't disperse into mist, but remained like a white cloud seen from afar, a cotton-like flower, with a full and soft outline.
Riding clouds and mist is truly the style of an immortal.
Wan Xinrong and others all showed strange colors.
Now I also belong to the immortal sect, right?
Just at this moment, the last guest also arrived.
It was True Person Xuanming.
True Person Xuanming laughed, sitting on a fat immortal crane and flying over staggeringly, but his hands were empty: "He Xi, fellow Daoist, congratulations, fellow Daoist. You truly have great ability."
"Greetings, senior."
"Eh~~ since you have attained reality and mastered the Dao, why distinguish between first and last?" True Person Xuanming said, seeing the white cloud and congratulatory gifts, "Are there other divine beings who have already come?"
"Exactly."
"It seems I came late." True Person Xuanming said, "I see that you are not a person who avoids the world to practice, and the path to reality is also bumpy and difficult. I guess that you attaining reality and mastering the Dao must have some things to do, so I came late specifically, to avoid you doing bloody things. Sigh, I can't bear to see it, hahaha." "Not late, not late." Lin Jue said, "What senior doesn't like, I also don't like."
"I didn't bring a gift, just came to congratulate you." True Person Xuanming said, "I originally thought that you attaining reality and mastering the Dao would definitely not know the method of riding clouds and mist, so I came to tell you, but I didn't expect that other fellow Daoists had already brought white clouds to you."
Saying this, he looked carefully—
"Although this is an ordinary white cloud in the sky, it is quite beautiful. You have just attained reality and mastered the Dao, so you can use it for transportation, so you don't have to go to the sky to find and choose one yourself."
"It's not too late for senior to say it now."
"So be it!"
The immortal crane landed with its wings flapping.
True Person Xuanming sat on it, unwilling to come down, just smiling and saying to Lin Jue:
"Since you have attained reality and mastered the Dao, transcending the ordinary, riding clouds and mist is like a person walking, a supernatural ability you are born with. Even if you don't know it at first, you will know it after exploring."
"Is it as light as a cloud?"
"Exactly! A True Person can be like a divine being, light as nothing, naturally can stand on the clouds." True Person Xuanming said, "Even if you have just attained reality and mastered the Dao, if you find a white cloud at random, you can stand on it, and you can go to the place you want to go by riding the clear breeze. But this is just the most basic ability."
!
"Please enlighten me, senior."
"If there is no cloud, you have to gather mist into clouds. If the wind wants to go south and you want to go north, you either need the ability to call the wind, or the supernatural power to move clouds. If you want to have a cloud of your own, you have to choose a cloud that suits your heart, and you have to pick it." True Person Xuanming shook his head and said, "But this is just an ordinary white cloud, only you can sit on it, you can't bring mortal people in the world, and the speed of travel is also limited. Hahaha, how fast the clouds in the sky run, you run that fast; how fast the wind is, it is that fast."
"Are there different clouds?"
"Naturally, riding clouds is like riding a horse. It seems simple, but the learning is very deep." True Person Xuanming said, handing over several bamboo scrolls, "Hahaha, this is not something that can be explained in a few words. Others won't stay long, and I won't stay long either. You just look at it. I have prepared wine and tea in the depths of Mount Zhong. After you are busy with the things before you, if you want to know the knowledge not in those bamboo scrolls, please come to find me for a long talk. Just bring a pot of good wine from the mortal world."
"Definitely."
Lin Jue thought of "Mount Zhong" in his heart and also bowed to him.
The immortal crane's wings fanned a gale.
True Person Xuanming also gradually left.
The morning glow in the east gradually faded, the sunset glow in the west slowly disappeared, the golden light had long since dissipated, and heaven and earth gradually returned to their original state.
"Third Shixiong brother..."
The junior sister pointed to the ground, then pointed to the clouds and cranes in the sky, and the sky that was empty above:
"This..."
"Junior sister, practice earnestly. When you attain reality and master the Dao, it will definitely be much easier than I am now." Lin Jue said, "At that time, there will definitely be people coming to congratulate you."
"Third Shixiong brother, have you attained reality?"
"Naturally."
"Then I... then you..." The junior sister was stunned for a while, scratching her head and saying, "Are you still the same as before?"
"Play less with third senior brother."
"I didn't!"
"A few."
Lin Jue ignored her and only looked at Wan Xinrong and others, picking up the original version of the pill fruit placed in the clouds and mist, "This thing is a rare immortal fruit in the world. Back then, my junior sister and I had eaten one, and it benefited a lot in the path of Daoist practice. You don't have to decline, take one each and eat it first, it will be of great help to Daoist practice. If there are other strange people and scholars helping, then give them the immortal pill."
"Eat it in this courtyard, eat it before going to bed." His junior sister added for him.
"Thank you, True Person!"
Several people hurriedly took the pill fruit.
Just smelling it, they were already drunk.
Lin Jue also threw one to Fuyao and one to the colorful civet cat, and kept the rest.
This thing was originally extremely rare, but it was only in the mortal world. Now that he has attained reality and mastered the Dao, for him, if there is a fruit pit, there is a fruit tree. Although it is also very precious, it is no longer so rare.
People around him, people who protect the Dao for him, cannot be missing.
"Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun..."
Lin Jue thought in his heart and felt it was interesting.
This Husheng Husheng Zhenjun is also quite powerful.
"Someone is coming outside."
Sure enough, the visitor had entered the courtyard.
This time it was indeed a person.
It was Daoist Jiang from the Zhenjian Palace.
Daoist Jiang walked in the front, holding a whisk, with junior brother Ma and another junior brother following behind. Seeing Lin Jue, he said:
"Fellow Daoist, it's so crowded here. I don't know how many commoners in the capital are gathered outside the door watching the immortals. Today in the capital, immortals and True Persons visited several times. The matter of riding clouds and riding cranes will probably spread."
"Daoist friend Jiang! Junior brother Ma!"
"He Xi, fellow Daoist, on attaining reality and mastering the Dao."
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Also thank you, Yili Shenjun." Lin Jue was sincere and bowed to him, "I will repay your help slowly. Also remember to tell Yili Shenjun for me, if one day, the Southern Divine System wants to fight with the Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, please be sure to call me."
"Fellow Daoist, don't be arrogant."
"It's not arrogance, it's truly a deep grudge."
"I have recorded it." Daoist Jiang said, "With your ability, fellow Daoist, if you can consolidate well and bring the Mountain-Moving Mirror, the Saint-Protecting Husheng Husheng Zhenjun has been away from fighting for a long time, so the outcome is hard to know."
"I will do my best."
Lin Jue's expression was very solemn.
