The waterfall is dragging down thousands of rains, but the setting sun is clearing for a while.

Lu Zhou was sitting on the flying chariot, stroking his beard and looking at the mountain scenery.

The flying chariot was swaying and was very uneven.

But it doesn't prevent him from enjoying the scenery.

Towards evening, the flying chariot arrived near Yunzhao Peak.

"Old senior, we have arrived at Yunzhao Peak, but it will take two days for your disciple to show up." Duan Xing came to Lu Zhou's side.

"So fast?" Lu Zhou said.

Duan Xing scratched his head.

Is this called fast?

After flying for so long, the sun is almost setting.

It feels like I am not flying as fast as I am.

Duan Xing smiled and took credit for the mistake: "Junior took the helm personally and worked hard, not daring to waste the senior's time..."

Lu Zhou frowned slightly and said nothing, just brushing his sleeves away unhappily.

Duan Xing was embarrassed and thought to himself, he didn't do anything wrong?

Along the way, he didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the elegance of the old man.

Why are the seniors still unhappy?

Lu Zhou stood up and looked down at Yunzhao Peak.

Familiar memories surfaced.

Scenes that seemed to be hidden deep in my mind gradually emerged.

"Yunzhao'an." Lu Zhou saw the temple halfway up Yunzhao Peak and almost forgot that Yunzhao'an was located here.

A temple thousands of miles away from the northern capital.

Slightly lonely and lonely.

A monk, indifferent to fame and wealth?

"Old seniors are well-informed. There is indeed a temple here, but they are all nuns, and it's called Yunzhao'an." Duan Xing said.

After finishing speaking, Duan Xing thought to himself.

After all, Yunzhao'an is a nunnery. Women are always women, and there are differences between men and women... They are all a group of grown men, so they can't go there and live there, right?

It doesn't matter where the practitioner stays.

Even if the cold doesn't penetrate your body, you can still fall asleep hanging on a treetop.

"Whereabouts." Lu Zhou said.

"As commanded."

Duan Xing quickly drove the flying chariot and slowly descended.

Yunzhao Peak is uninhabited for hundreds of miles, so it has towering trees and steep cliffs.

When the flying chariot entered the jungle, it was obscured by dense leaves.

Lu Zhou recovered a little strength on the flying chariot, jumped lightly, and landed at the feet of Yunzhaofeng.

The others followed Duan Xing down.

Only a few people were left to guard the chariot.

Not long after, Lu Zhou and his party arrived outside Yunzhao Nunnery.

"I'll knock on the door." Duan Xing rolled his eyes and volunteered.

Just two bangs, no need to be polite.

The door opens.

An older nun came out.

"Is it you?" Lu Zhou recognized it immediately.

Xuan Jing was taken aback and quickly raised her palms and bowed: "It turns out to be Benefactor Ji...sometimes we are not welcomed from afar, sometimes we are not welcomed from afar."

She pushed the door open.

Lu Zhou was confused, was there no one in Yunzhao'an? Master Xuanjing actually needed to come out in person?

His eyes fell into the courtyard.

The ground is covered with weeds and leaves are falling.

Slightly desolate.

"Dear donors, please."

Entering the courtyard, Lu Zhou asked, "Are you the only one?"

"Wu Nian has left long ago, and now only the poor nun is left in Yunzhao Temple." Xuan Jing raised her palms and said.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded, it doesn't matter if it's just one person, there aren't that many rules.

The place is big enough.

"I'm going to stay here for a few days," Lu Zhou said.

Xuan Jing heard this and said: "Donor Ji, please..."

She didn't care about the others. After all, she didn't have that many people.

Duan Xing shrugged helplessly and glanced at the brothers, "Don't look at me. There is no little nun you want to see. Just take care of it yourself!"

…

Lu Zhou followed Master Xuanjing to a quiet room. The view, location, and environment were all significantly better.

Master Xuanjing said: "Please."

Lu Zhou nodded slightly.

Walk into the room with your hands behind your back.

The environment is quiet and unique.

There are bookshelves, desks... and round window sills from which you can see the mountains beyond Yunzhao Peak.

"Back then, it was in this room that Benefactor Ji discussed Taoism with his master." Xuan Jing said.

Talking about Taoism at Yunzhao Peak, admiring the moon at Zixia Mountain, watching fish at Baiye Lake...

Think of these.

Lu Zhou shook his head and sighed: "The talent for pure speech is good, but unfortunately, it is difficult to get rid of distracting thoughts."

"That's what Benefactor Ji said. My master also said so."

"How did she die?"

"The master's deadline has been advanced two hundred years..." Xuan Jing also shook her head and sighed.

Lu Zhou thought to himself.

Under normal circumstances, a practitioner who has reached the Yuan Shen Tribulation Realm can live up to six hundred years...after that, each leaf opens, adding fifty years.

No one has broken through to the Nine Leaves... Therefore, no one can break through the thousand-year limit, and this is where the saying of the truth of the limit comes from.

As long as you don't commit suicide, living for nine hundred years or even a little over a thousand years won't be a problem.

How could it be two hundred years in advance?

"My master tried to comprehend the Nine Leaves Realm by force, but ultimately failed. For this reason, his blood essence and blood were wasted," Xuan Jing said.

Luzhou stroked his beard and nodded: "It's for Jiuye again."

He remembered what Gong Yuandu, the genius of Beidu swordsmanship, said before his death.

Essence and blood will indeed shorten your life span.

But according to normal rules and cultivation paths, shouldn’t humans increase their life span during the process of breakthrough? Why does Nine Leaves alone lose its life span?

"My master warned me before he died that if someone breaks through to the eighth leaf in Yunzhao'an, don't try to break through the nine leaves." Xuan Jing said.

"When I had a discussion with her, she was very high-spirited and determined to defeat Jiuye..." Lu Zhou said sarcastically.

"Donor Ji has already reached the peak of Eight Leaves...his experience and understanding in this regard should far exceed that of his master."

Lu Zhou said nothing.

What Xuan Jing said makes sense.

Since Ji Tiandao is in the eight-leaf Dzogchen realm...is it possible to attack the nine-leaf realm?

So...did Ji Tiandao die because of this?
