Chapter 191

Regarding the fact that he had an extra chief disciple and a legacy cultivation method, Lu Runping felt it was still acceptable.

That 【Dream Illusion Heavenly Scripture】 was indeed quite good; it was a cultivation method that led directly to the Dao of the Great Dream, and although it was not the original version after being completed from its remnant state, it still possessed sufficient profundity.

He also spent one day to fully comprehend it.

After reading it, he came to a conclusion.

'Hu Hengyuan is worthy of being my chief disciple of the Heavenly Dream Daoist!'

This method can be used as one of the inheritances of the Lu Family Immortal Clan and recorded in the Treasure Mirror.

Hu Hengyuan's ascension was already in the year 2577; during these years, the Lu Family Immortal Clan also ushered in its second explosive development.

Outsiders still thought that the Lu Family Immortal Clan only had the original six Land Immortals, little knowing that at this time, the Lu Family, not counting Lu Runping, already possessed eleven Land Immortals.

The number of people with clan bloodline had once again exceeded one million, and this time they were basically all elites; the internal competition within the clan was very severe, and the young people were all eager to surpass their ancestors by tomorrow.

It was just that the glory of the ancestors was too intense, and no matter how hard the descendants tried, they seemed unable to reach it.

Although there were already eleven Land Immortals, Lu Runping did not let them ascend, but instead let them continue to cultivate in the Lower Realm, waiting for notification before ascending.

The Lu Family was naturally not lacking in Immortal Crystals, so the Three Heroes of the Lu Family had already reached the late stage of the Great Vehicle, and not ascending was following Lu Runping's instructions.

The others still needed to continue cultivating and had not reached the perfection level of the Land Immortal realm.

If cultivation level could not be improved, they could continue to comprehend the Dao; any level of the Great Dao could be comprehended, it just depended on one's own comprehension ability.

Lu Runping was also comprehending the Dao, while comprehending, he was waiting, waiting for the appearance of the second True Immortal realm Dao Fruit.

If there were no accidents, it would be soon.

He had started planning the ascension of Land Immortals in the Four Great Continents since the year 1433 of the Supernatural Era, completed the ascension layout for the Four Great Continents by the year 1536 of the Supernatural Era, and then entered the sea to carry out the ascension layout for demonic beasts.

It had also been nearly a thousand years for the first batch of ascenders.

True Immortal realm cultivators have to suffer the Three Disasters; Lu Runping felt it was impossible for everyone who ascended to safely survive the first disaster of the Three Disasters, so as long as there was someone who failed the first disaster, he could obtain a Dao Fruit.

Time arrived at the year 2689 of the Supernatural Era; on this day, a True Immortal realm supernatural power Dao Fruit emerged, and what surprised Lu Runping was that this was actually a Dao Fruit produced by a Buddhist cultivator, which is to say, it was produced by an ascender from the Holy Buddha Temple in the Xiyuan Luzhou.

People of the Buddhist sect, although their cultivation realms were different from those of the Daoist sect, also needed to undergo the test of the Three Disasters and Nine Calamities.

Therefore, it was normal for someone to die over there.

This person's Dharma name was 'Dharma Master Liyuan', and he practiced the Dao of the 'Heavenly Eye', which emphasized seeing through all karma and evil obstacles, avoiding karma, and living in seclusion and inaction.

But it was clear that his cultivation was not yet deep enough to avoid the Three Disasters.

His supernatural power Dao Fruit was exactly the 【Sixteen-Foot Golden Body】 that Lu Runping had passed down; Lu Runping used the Treasure Mirror to activate the great supernatural power 【Covering the Sky and Hiding the Sun】 to protect it, and then refined this Dao Fruit.

His Primordial Spirit began to sublimate and absorb, finally producing a transformation, and ultimately stepped into that step.

The infusion of Immortal Spirit Qi caused his physical body to usher in another transformation.

But he himself was already a Spirit Treasure Dao Body, and at this time, he had also reached a profound level of the Spirit Treasure Dao Body, so the effect of this improvement was limited.

However, it was better than nothing; there was some improvement, and he was one step closer to breaking through to the next level.

This supernatural power, 【Sixteen-Foot Golden Body】, was originally a physical-type supernatural power; at this time, after being refined and absorbed by Lu Runping, the fusion was completely finished, which made him truly possess a golden body!

It was still a little short, just a little short, and the physical body level could usher in a new transformation.

Lu Runping thought of something and immediately took action.

He used the Treasure Mirror to activate the supernatural power 【Mysterious Yellow Qi】, and then, using the Dao of Refining, began to refine himself.

When he obtained this supernatural power, Lu Runping had once thought of using it to temper his physical body.

But he had actually always used it to temper Spirit Treasures.

During this period, in addition to completing the promotion of the Heaven-Earth Three Talents Reversing Universe Banner, making it a mid-grade Spirit Treasure, he had also successively helped several other Lu Family Land Immortals create a few low-grade Spirit Treasures.

Time was very tight.

So he had never used this supernatural power to temper his own physical body.

Now was an opportunity.

By borrowing the effect of the 【Sixteen-Foot Golden Body】 Dao Fruit and the golden light from the True Immortal promotion, he could maximize the effect of the Mysterious Yellow Qi; whether it would succeed or not depended on this time!

This tempering lasted for a full three years; three years later, ice-like skin and jade-like bones, and the golden body Dharma image, alternated in transformation on Lu Runping's body.

He succeeded!

His physical body strength officially stepped into the level of a mid-grade Spirit Treasure.

What kind of concept is this?

Tearing apart True Immortals with bare hands, fighting Mysterious Immortals with strength!

The Three Disasters, whether it was the fire disaster, wind disaster, or water disaster, no longer had any effect on him.

Relying solely on his physical body was enough to protect his True Spirit from being extinguished!

Now he could be considered the number one person below the Mysterious Immortal realm; invincible below the Mysterious Immortal realm, and trading one-for-one above the Mysterious Immortal realm.

Well, for now, he could only trade with a First-Turn Mysterious Immortal, after all, he had just broken through.

However, his cultivation had only reached the Lower Cave True Immortal level.

Newly entering the Immortal realm, he was a Lower Cave True Immortal, which is the lowest level of existence among Immortals.

According to the Primordial Spirit memory of the True Immortal Xuantongzi swallowed last time, there was the Heavenly Emperor Palace in the Earth Immortal World, which was one of the most powerful Immortal forces, and its basic condition for recruiting ordinary Immortal soldiers was to reach the Upper Cave True Immortal level.

A Lower Cave True Immortal cultivates three thousand six hundred Dao Rhymes of magic power, condenses a Dao Core, and can become an Upper Cave True Immortal.

Many Immortals remain at this level for tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand years.

Magic power Dao Rhyme is something produced by Immortal Spirit Qi and the self-Dao; Immortal Spirit Qi acts as a harmonizing agent, blending the produced Great Dao insights together in a special way, and finally forming a Dao Core.

This is the true embodiment of the Dao cultivated by an Immortal.

It can be said that if one obtained the Dao Core of a True Immortal, one could obtain all of their cultivation insights and obtain their Dao.

The process of condensing the supernatural power Dao Fruit simultaneously absorbed the True Immortal's magic power Dao Rhyme.

But what remained in the end was only the Dao Rhyme, without the magic power.

Lu Runping needed to refine Immortal Spirit Qi himself to condense magic power Dao Rhyme; he could not directly obtain other people's magic power Dao Rhyme, unless some supernatural power appeared that could forcibly condense an Immortal's cultivation.

The first magic power Dao Rhyme had already formed naturally during the breakthrough.

He broke through in the Lower Realm, and there was not enough Immortal Spirit Qi around to use; every time he cultivated, he had to extract it bit by bit from the Upper Realm, which was truly inconvenient.

To obtain stable Immortal Spirit Qi, he could only obtain it from the Upper Realm; the main body could not ascend, and staying low-key in the Lower Realm was safer.

Then he could only let the incarnation ascend.

He took out the physical body of the Rending Void Corpse King, which was his incarnation.

A long time ago, he had killed this incarnation formed by the External Incarnation, leaving only a powerful physical body, which he repeatedly refined with Mysterious Yellow Qi, just like refining a Dharma treasure.

Thirteen years ago, he finally refined this physical body to the top level of low-grade Spirit Treasures.

Because the incarnation Lu Runping had split off was originally a Spirit Treasure Dao Body, which is the level of a low-grade Spirit Treasure, the foundation was very good.

Raising it from a low-tier low-grade Spirit Treasure to a medium, then high-tier, and finally stepping into the top-grade level consumed a lot of his energy.

But it was all worth it.

For the carrier of the True Immortal realm External Incarnation, what Lu Runping favored was this physical body of the Rending Void Corpse King.

It simultaneously mastered Netherworld Qi and Immortal Spirit power, so there were many things it could do.

Furthermore, as the body of a Zombie King, it possessed innate abilities such as 'teleportation', which could be said to be a preliminary contact with the Dao of Time and Space, and it had a wide range of applications for future development.

Everything was arranged, and he began to use the supernatural power 【External Incarnation】; the entrustment was completed, and a new Lu Runping was born.

The Zombie King's body indeed successfully carried Lu Runping's current cultivation; the physical body, which was originally at the top-grade low-grade Spirit Treasure level, directly promoted to the level of a mid-grade Spirit Treasure Dao Body.

He still gave the incarnation a Dao Seed of 【Embryonic Transformation】, and then let it absorb and refine a portion of special essence blood, obtaining quite a few transformation abilities.

When the incarnation released its aura, the guiding light from the Upper Realm appeared; this gravitational force was very large, and even with the physical strength of a mid-grade Spirit Treasure, it could not withstand it.

Lu Runping was glad that he had let the Treasure Mirror absorb that Dao Fruit first that day; otherwise, if his aura had leaked even a little and produced the guiding golden light, he would never have been able to escape this pulling force.

In the year 2692 of the Supernatural Era, Lu Runping's incarnation ascended, becoming the first person of the Lu Family Immortal Clan to ascend to the Upper Realm and achieve the True Immortal realm!

However, just after the incarnation left, he suddenly thought of one thing.

It seemed that in the year 1503 of the Supernatural Era, he had once said as the Rending Void Corpse King that he would return for revenge in three thousand years!

Now, it seemed he could not go back.

Well, let's talk about it then; at worst, the main body will transform into the Rending Void Corpse King and go settle the karma.

Actually, it would be fine not to go; if the Rending Void Corpse King does not go for revenge, it is a good thing for them!

Putting these aside for now, Lu Runping's perspective switched to the External Incarnation mode.

After ascending, a rich Immortal Spirit Qi rushed toward him, and immediately after, Lu Runping sensed a huge pressure.

He was currently suspended in mid-air.

If it were just an ordinary newly ascended True Immortal, this pressure appearing suddenly might have caused them to fall down.

But Lu Runping naturally would not have such an ugly appearance.

But newly entering the Earth Immortal World, he still felt a bit lost.

Although he had swallowed a True Immortal Primordial Spirit, it was incomplete, and the memory information was intermittent, making it difficult to glimpse the true face of the Earth Immortal World.

Later, with the narration of his chief disciple Yu Qiongxiao, he had a general understanding of the Earth Immortal World.

But as an unfathomable master, he naturally could not let Yu Qiongxiao describe the Earth Immortal World in minute detail.

Therefore, this time, after ascending, was when Lu Runping truly got to know the Earth Immortal World.

No Immortals approached; what greeted him was an endless expanse of land and rich Immortal Spirit Qi.

It seemed that one could cultivate directly here, but one had to see something to feel secure.

Activating the supernatural power 【Golden Light of Earth-Crossing】, he chose a direction at random and flew away!
