Chapter 160

Immortal Yuntuan was stunned upon hearing this.

He seemed to have heard the name Xuanjizi before.

It was this person who appeared back then, allowing Immortal Yangming of the Qingyang Immortal Sect to strike in advance, only then solving the big trouble of the Great Marsh Demon Immortal.

Now he had appeared again, and, surprisingly, he claimed he could condense an immortal's strength into an immortal fruit.

Such a situation had never been heard of before.

He did not suspect that Lu Runping was lying, because he felt there was no need; after all, he himself had just said he wanted to pass all his cultivation to the other party, so what else could he be plotting?

Lu Runping's thought was very simple.

If Immortal Yuntuan passed his cultivation to him like this, it was actually a waste.

He had already become an immortal and could completely condense a Land Immortal Realm incarnation; there was no need to do this at all.

On the contrary, if he could obtain his Divine Soul Dao Fruit, it would be equivalent to storing a Dao Fruit for the Lu family that could allow a Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator to step into the Land Immortal level in one go.

This was an accumulation of foundation, representing that Lu Runping could quickly cultivate the next Land Immortal of the Lu family.

Of course, the premise was that before his cultivation stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, he would not let him refine any Dao Seeds.

In any case, harvesting a Dao Fruit was more cost-effective than directly obtaining Immortal Yuntuan's cultivation.

Immortal Yuntuan was clearly somewhat hesitant; he certainly would not have much trust in the words of a person he had never met before.

But since the other party could calculate that there would be such a day, plus the previous lesson of Immortal Yangming, he felt he could not just ignore it.

Finally, he looked at Lu Runping and said:

"Make this decision yourself; whether you want me to pass my cultivation to you or let me refine the Dao Seed to try, it is up to you."

Lu Runping put on a thoughtful look, and after a long while, he said:

"Please, Senior, refine this Dao Seed!"

He did not explain any reason, and in fact, he did not think of any reason, because he knew that since Immortal Yuntuan had given the decision-making power to him, then whatever he said, he would do.

Sure enough, Immortal Yuntuan, upon hearing this, directly picked up the Dao Seed and swallowed it to refine it.

A moment later, he opened his eyes in surprise.

"This Dao Seed is miraculous; it actually allowed me to obtain a supernatural power. Pity, I have reached the end now, but fortunately, if I can pass it on to you, with this supernatural power, you can also protect the Immortal Sect for three thousand years.

My days are not long; at most another hundred years. Within a hundred years, remember not to attempt the third Tribulation Transcendence. After I die, when this Dao Fruit is in your hands, you can then undergo the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

Immortal Yuntuan gave a few final instructions, worried that Lu Runping would be eager for quick success and fail in the end.

Lu Runping replied respectfully:

"I will protect the Tianyu Immortal Sect for five thousand years, and then pass it on to the next Land Immortal; this Dao Fruit, I will also pass on to him."

For the person he cultivated himself, of course, he had to arrange a Dao Seed; in case something unexpected happened and they died, it wouldn't be a loss.

Immortal Yuntuan, upon hearing this, felt very gratified, and then began to help Lu Runping strengthen his physical body.

Actually, what he was doing now was futile, because Lu Runping had already planned to abandon this body, but it was not easy to dissuade him, so let him continue to dedicate himself!

Fulfilling someone else's kindness is itself a kind of kindness.

I, Lv Gong, am indeed a purely kind gentleman!

In the blink of an eye, another five years passed. In the 1125th year of the Supernatural Era, Heavenly Monarch Shangyi finally refined a wisp of Immortal Spirit Qi and stepped into the Land Immortal Realm, and the destiny of the Qingyang Immortal Sect began to grow.

While the destiny of the Tianyu Immortal Sect weakened rapidly along with the gradual decline of Immortal Yuntuan.

Another forty years passed. In the 1165th year of the Supernatural Era, Immortal Yuntuan could no longer hold on.

It was mainly because he had used all his strength to help Lu Runping refine his body, consuming the essence within his body, causing his body to decline too quickly.

"Must, become an immortal!"

After saying this last sentence, Immortal Yuntuan's vitality was exhausted before Lu Runping's eyes, and his body, which had originally been like white jade, instantly turned withered.

When an immortal dies, under normal circumstances, the bones are still like jade and the skin like congealed fat, which can remain immortal for ten thousand years.

But Immortal Yuntuan had exhausted his vitality, and when his last breath was gone, his whole person dissipated.

This person was also unlucky.

Back then, when Immortal Shenwang passed the position to him, he had only just become an immortal, and his strength was very weak.

After taking on the heavy burden of the sect, he was diligent and conscientious, but ended up encountering that half-human, half-zombie guy, Ancestor Kongming, ascending, which damaged his foundation and severed his immortal path.

Of the three successors he had high hopes for, two had died one after another.

Only Lu Runping remained as this hope, the only hope.

He had given everything.

"I will keep my promise!"

Lu Runping said so.

Having obtained Immortal Yuntuan's Dao Fruit, Lu Runping had the current Sect Master announce the news of the immortal's fall, and then announced that he was going into seclusion; the day he emerged from seclusion would be the time he became an immortal.

Donghua Zhenzhou was very calm during this period; this was a very rare period of development.

The Lu family had a thin foundation, and with over ten thousand clansmen, it took several decades to produce eight Spirit Severing Realm cultivators.

To truly reach the scale of an Immortal Clan, it would take at least three thousand years!

The only thing worth being happy about was that the Lu family lacked nothing in terms of descendants; male cultivators willing to marry into the Lu family and female cultivators willing to marry into the Lu family were everywhere.

And getting married at this time had only one purpose, and that was to reproduce descendants.

Decades passed, and the number of clansmen increased to over fourteen thousand.

For mortals, marrying and having children at twenty means a new generation every twenty years.

But for cultivators, age is not a problem, and there is no pattern; just take advantage of being able to give birth, and keep giving birth!

In the blink of an eye, another eighty-three years passed.

Lu Runping felt it was time, so he killed the incarnation, extracted the essence blood, and prepared for a new incarnation.

He took out the physical body of the Lietian Corpse King, used it as the anchoring object, and activated the supernatural power 【External Incarnation】.

The next moment, his divine soul power was consumed, and both Netherworld power and Immortal Spirit Qi were triggered.

Energy gathered, and the appearance of the Zombie King underwent a huge change.

The originally green-faced and fanged, extremely cruel appearance turned into a gentle and elegant image with a face like beautiful jade.

His skin also changed to that of an ordinary immortal, looking like a completely different person from the Zombie King look just now.

But in fact, this body still had the physical quality of the Zombie King; relying solely on his physical body, tearing apart a Land Immortal with his hands was not a problem.

Within his body, at this time, there was both Immortal Spirit Qi and Netherworld power, which meant he could cultivate both parts.

According to the different powers cultivated to the peak, the locations where Great Vehicle Realm cultivators ascend to the Upper Realm are also different.

Cultivating Immortal Spirit Qi, whether human or demon, can ascend to the Immortal World.

Cultivating Netherworld power can ascend to the Netherworld Realm.

And those who cultivate Ancient Demon power can ascend into the Demon World.

In Donghua Zhenzhou, the current demons also basically cultivate Immortal Spirit power; cultivating Ancient Demon power is too difficult, and there is no good cultivation method.

Lu Runping himself had no plans to ascend to the Upper Realm within a short time.

His primary goal was still to build the Lu Immortal Clan, and at the same time, he could assist some people who possessed Dao Seeds to ascend to the Upper Realm to explore the situation.

If a True Immortal who ascended to the Upper Realm fell, perhaps he could possess a True Immortal Realm divine soul while still in the Lower Realm.

Becoming a true Land Immortal.

For the sake of safety, he also needed to obtain a True Immortal Realm Dao Fruit before he dared to ascend.

Otherwise, he worried that with only a Great Vehicle Realm divine soul level, the reality of the Treasure Mirror would be discovered by the immortals of the Upper Realm.

This thing should also be considered a treasure to any immortal.

If others knew about it, they would definitely take action to snatch it.

Therefore, it was very necessary to first cultivate a group of people to ascend, wait a few thousand years, and see if a Dao Fruit could be harvested.

If not, Lu Runping would have to consider whether to ascend.

Without ascending, he also had ways to continue living; it was nothing more than turning into a creature like a zombie.

This did not matter.

With the ability of the incarnation, he could turn his main body into a Zombie King.

Possessing the 【Embryonic Transformation】 supernatural power, changing into a Zombie King was just a very simple matter.

Later, if he wanted to restore his human body, it would also be very easy.

This matter, take it one step at a time.

In any case, first cultivate a group of people.

Especially the people of the Lu family; if they could ascend first and lay the foundation for the family's reproduction in the Upper Realm, that would also be a good thing.

He let the incarnation refine the 【Embryonic Transformation】 Dao Seed and Lv Gong's essence blood, change into Lv Gong's appearance, and pass through the teleportation array to emerge from seclusion at the Tianyu Immortal Sect.

"I, Lv Gong, have achieved the position of Land Immortal today, and will protect the Tianyu Immortal Sect for five thousand years!"

This news immediately spread throughout the entire Donghua Zhenzhou.

It was truly explosive!

The genius Lv Gong, whom everyone originally thought had faded into obscurity, had actually crossed the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation in such a short time and become a Land Immortal.

Although no one knew when he had passed the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the cultivation of a Land Immortal could not be faked; strength explains everything!

Lv Gong was only five hundred and forty-five years old this year; over five hundred years old, and he had actually become a Land Immortal.

Doesn't that mean the remaining lifespan is enough to protect the Tianyu Immortal Sect for ten thousand years!

This is the true genius.

Dominating the current age, no one can rival him.

The only one who could surpass this incarnation was probably Lu Runping's main body.

Lu Runping announced Lv Gong's becoming an immortal mainly to obtain the supreme power of the Tianyu Immortal Sect.

After becoming a Land Immortal, he mastered the Tianyu Immortal Sect's inheritance Dharma Treasure, the Imperial Heaven Blade, and the inheritance immortal art, "Imperial Heaven Immortal-Slaying Blade."

Although the Imperial Heaven Blade was said to be the inheritance object of the Tianyu Immortal Sect, Lu Runping did not intend to keep it for himself, but that did not mean he could not use the "Imperial Heaven Immortal-Slaying Blade" without the Imperial Heaven Blade.

Lu Runping had a low-grade spirit treasure, the "Ruyi Following Heart Lamp," which could change into any Dharma treasure form; using it, he could also use this immortal art, and it could completely be practiced deeply as a combat method.

The Tianyu Immortal Sect was completely controlled by him, and he would, of course, move a large amount of the sect's resources to the Lu family.

However, correspondingly, he would also give the Tianyu Immortal Sect sufficient compensation so that the Tianyu Immortal Sect could continue to be maintained for a long time.

With the resources of the Tianyu Immortal Sect, a top-tier immortal sect, plus the treasures of the Ice Soul Divine Palace, the Lu family could be considered to have no lack of foundation for development.

Next was entering a period of high-speed development.

He needed to select a group of people with outstanding talent to focus on cultivating, and Lu Runping set the first thousand-year plan.

That is, starting from the 1248th year of the Supernatural Era, within the next thousand years, cultivate at least five Second-Turn Heavenly Monarchs, fifty Dao Integration great experts, five hundred Spirit Severing True Monarchs, and fifteen thousand people to step into the Nascent Soul Realm!

The era of the Lu Immortal Clan had truly begun!
