To Zhou Yang's expectation, there was no main hall in the depths of the Taoist Palace, only a small wooden house less than two feet high.

He walked along the widest bluestone road, and when he reached the end, he came to the outside of this small wooden house.

The small wooden house is located on the edge of a cliff deep in the Taoist palace. Behind it is an unknown cliff, and the doors and windows are all closed.

Zhou Yang walked to the door of the house, stretched out his hand and pushed it gently, and the wooden door opened with a "squeak" sound.

Inside the wooden house, the first thing that caught Zhou Yang's eyes was a wooden statue of [Donglai Zhenren] that was as tall as a normal person.

[Donglai Zhenren] The statue is obviously made by a master and is almost as lifelike as a real person.

"Is this [Master Donglai]? He is indeed an immortal, with the appearance of a true immortal!"

Zhou Yang looked at the statue of [Donglai Zhenren] and couldn't help but admire it.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a burst of spiritual light suddenly appeared on the statue of [Donglai Zhenren], and he suddenly looked at him and said, "Really? Do you really think so?"

Zhou Yang's face suddenly froze, and he stared at the statue of [Donglai Zhenren] that suddenly made a sound, completely stunned.

"Don't be surprised. Since I have left behind the Taoist heritage, how can I not leave some back-ups in case something unexpected happens?"

[Donglai Zhenren] The statue looked at Zhou Yang's surprised look and said in a slightly urgent tone: "Cross-border sound transmission consumes too much, so let's keep the story short. You answer a few questions for me first, and then talk about other things."

"Senior, I would like to ask you, this junior must tell you everything you know, and tell me everything you want!"

Zhou Yang's whole body trembled, he suddenly came back to his senses from the shock, and quickly responded respectfully to the words of the statue of [Donglai Zhenren].

As soon as he said these words, the statue of [Donglai Zhenren] immediately looked at him and asked: "Where are you from?"

Zhou Yang immediately replied: "Looking back to the senior, the junior is originally a monk from a small family. By chance, he has reached the realm of cultivation today. If we count his family background, now that the junior's family is in the family, it should be regarded as a big cultivating family.

!”

"Being a monk from a small family, you can actually practice to the Nascent Soul stage. It seems that you have a lot of opportunities! But this is not important. Since you are not one of the top sect monks, I don't have to worry that my inheritance will take advantage of others.

Already."

[Donglai Zhenren] The statue said to itself, then looked at Zhou Yang and continued to ask: "I ask you again, if you get my inheritance, are you willing to regard me as your ancestor? Are you willing to let the descendants of your family and the monks

Mortals, will they be worshiped by me from generation to generation?"

Zhou Yang was also confused when he heard such a weird question. Based on the principle of caution, he did not dare to agree immediately, but asked in a low voice: "I dare to ask my senior, what does the senior's so-called offering specifically mean?"

"

"Of course worship is worship, what else can it mean? You just need to publicize my name in your family, then set up many statues of gods for me, and let the monks and mortals in your family always burn incense and pay homage!"

[Donglai Zhenren] The statue glanced at him and answered his question in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang's thoughts raced in his mind, and he had many associations in an instant, but he responded simply: "If that's all, of course I am willing."

"Very good, then as long as you agree to my last condition, the Taoist inheritance I left on this [Donglai Immortal Island] will belong to you!"

[Donglai Zhenren] The statue shouted with satisfaction, then looked at him with awe-inspiring eyes and said: "My last condition is that you must make an oath to help me immediately after your cultivation reaches the ninth level of Nascent Soul.

Go to the sand sea in the far west to pick up something I left behind back then, and then send it to me according to the method I taught you!"

"Okay, junior has promised to senior."

Zhou Yang's expression changed, his eyes looked at the statue of [Donglai Zhenren] with brilliant eyes, and he agreed immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, the statue of [Donglai Zhenren] said with satisfaction: "In that case, you can start the apprenticeship ceremony!"

"Disciple Zhou Yang, pay homage to Master!"

Zhou Yang knelt down on the ground, and with a solemn expression, he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to the statue of [Donglai Zhenren], and performed a ceremony of apprenticeship, completely confirming the status of master and disciple.

Then, he swore a big oath in accordance with the conditions he had just agreed to.

After everything settled, the statue of [Donglai Zhenren] spoke again: "Okay, there is about a quarter of an hour left. If you have anything to ask, you can take the time to ask."

It was his words that Zhou Yang was waiting for.

After hearing this, he immediately looked at him with bright eyes and asked: "Disciple, dare to ask Master, what kind of cultivation level are you in now, but you are in the legendary true immortal world?"

"I am indeed in the true immortal world now. As for my current cultivation level, it's really hard to say."

[Donglai Zhenren] The spiritual light on the statue flickered slightly, and he seemed to be hesitant, but soon stabilized and continued: "In terms of realm, I should have reached the realm of returning to the void, but in terms of mana cultivation, I am still

The cultivation level in the late stage of transcending the tribulation, so if you really count it, it can be called a half-step return to the void!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Yang was still surprised and envious even though he had expected it.

From the first moment when he heard the statue of [Donglai Zhenren] say the words "cross-border sound transmission", he guessed that the other person's body should still be alive, and that he should have gone to the legendary "True Immortal Realm".

As far as he knew, in a world like "Linghuan Realm", the maximum lifespan of a true immortal in the human race's tribulation period is ten thousand years.

This is the upper limit set by the laws of heaven and earth in this world, not the original upper limit of the lifespan of a true immortal in the Tribulation Stage.

Therefore, if [Master Donglai] is still alive, he must have gone to the legendary "True Immortal Realm".

However, Zhou Yang did not expect that more than 10,000 years later, [Master Donglai] would break through from his original cultivation level in the middle stage of transcending tribulation to the legendary realm of returning to the void.

Zhou Yang also knew very little about the realm of returning to the void. He only knew that this realm was only one realm away from the rumored Hedao realm that could lead to immortality.

In addition, monks who have returned to the virtual realm are also honored as "True Lords" and enjoy the reputation of "Earth Immortals".

[Master Donglai] has reached the realm of returning to the virtual world, which means that he is only one step away from the ultimate goal of cultivating immortals. How can he not make Zhou Yang envious of this.

While he was envious, he also noticed what [Master Donglai] said about the mismatch between realm and mana cultivation.

Generally speaking, if the realm and mana cultivation level do not match, it will only appear among the Golden Core monks below the Nascent Soul stage.

This is because after a golden elixir-level monk commits the act of seizing a body, his or her cultivation level will fall to the golden elixir level, and it will take a long time to practice again to restore the golden elixir-level cultivation level.

[Donglai Zhenren] has developed a true immortal body thousands of years ago. Of course, it is impossible for him to seize his body. So Zhou Yang was puzzled that this would happen to him.

Puzzled, he simply asked directly: "Why is this so? Do all monks in the realm of returning to the virtual world have to experience the situation you are now in, Master?"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, he regretted his recklessness.

Because this kind of thing obviously involves personal privacy.

Although he had just made a master-disciple agreement with [Master Donglai], it was taboo to inquire into his master's personal privacy as a disciple.

Fortunately, the statue of [Donglai Zhenren] did not argue with him about the issue of respecting teachers and respecting morality. He just refused: "Of course not. This matter involves the secrets of the Immortal family. It is not something you need to know at this time. I will wait for you to cultivate it later."

In order to be able to reach the stage of transcending tribulation and have the chance to reach the true immortal world, it will not be too late for me to tell you in detail about this matter after seeing my true form!"

Of course, the word "immortal family" cannot be used by all monks. The so-called immortal family characters and the magical powers of the immortal family are all used to describe people who have cultivated above the tribulation stage.

The secrets of the Immortal Family, since they are secrets in the realm of true immortals in the Tribulation Stage, Zhou Yang, a Nascent Soul Stage monk, is indeed not qualified to inquire about it, or it would be of no use if he knew about it.

Therefore, after he was rejected, he was sensible and did not ask the matter again. Instead, he changed the question and asked: "Master, can you tell me about the true immortal world? Is there really an immortal in the true immortal world?"

Can Hedao immortals really live forever?"

"If I really want to tell you about the True Immortal Realm, I won't be able to finish it in a few years. I can only tell you that the True Immortal Realm is very big, so big that it's beyond your imagination. There are a hundred spiritual worlds.

It’s not one thousandth as big as the True Immortal Realm!”

"As for the Hedao Heavenly Immortal, of course there are some, otherwise there would be no legend of this realm!"

"If you want to ask me whether the Hedao Celestial Immortal is really immortal, I actually can't answer you for sure, because up to now in the records of the True Immortal World, I have never heard of any Hedao Celestial Being who has exhausted his lifespan.

Sitting down and passing away!"

[Donglai Zhenren] The statue didn't hide anything this time, and answered Zhou Yang's questions readily.

After Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately wrote down the information carefully, and then took the time to continue asking: "Thank you Master for clarifying my doubts. I also want to ask Master something. If a true immortal in the Tribulation Period is in the true immortal world, how long can he live?

?Are all monks in worlds like Linghuan Realm able to break through to a higher realm and have longer longevity only by going to the True Immortal Realm?"

"As for the world, the Hedao Celestials divide all worlds into three levels. Small worlds like Kunxu Realm belong to the lowest level. The upper limit of the power that the world can accommodate is the sixth level, while Linghuan Realm belongs to the middle level.

The world, the upper limit of the power that the world can hold is level seven, while the True Immortal World is a high-level world, and the upper limit of the power that the world can hold can reach level nine!"

"So, if a monk in a mid-level world wants to advance to the seventh level, he can only successfully advance to a high-level world like the True Immortal World."

"As for the lifespan of a true immortal in the true immortal world during the Tribulation Period, it will indeed be extended as it is said in the legend of the Linghuan world, but the longest will not exceed 30,000 years."

[Donglai Zhenren] The statue seems to really value Zhou Yang, a cheap disciple. As long as he can talk about it, he will basically answer all questions. It really allows Zhou Yang to understand many things through him that ordinary Nascent Soul monks would never know. 's secret.

After asking these questions, more than half of the quarter of an hour that [Master Donglai] said has passed.

Zhou Yang counted the time and did not dare to ask any more irrelevant topics. He hurriedly continued to ask: "Master, have you ever heard of the name of [Master Qianyang]? He did not dare to deceive the master. Because the disciple is pregnant [Qianyang Treasure Body], as early as the foundation building period, I accidentally obtained the natal magic weapon left in the Linghuan world after the death of this senior, and inherited the inheritance of this senior's skills from it!"

"What? You actually got the inheritance of [Zhenren Qianyang]'s skills!"

[Donglai Zhenren] The voice of the statue suddenly became louder, and the voice was full of surprise.

Listening to his words, it was obvious that he knew the existence of [Zhenren Qianyang], which made Zhou Yang feel happy. He immediately raised his hand and revealed the seventh-level immortal weapon [Qianyang Orb].

"Master, please see, this is the natal magic weapon of [Qian Yang Zhenren] obtained by this junior, named [Qian Yang Baozhu]."

[Donglai Zhenren] raised his hand of the statue, and the [Qianyang Pearl] in Zhou Yang's hand fell into his hand.

After holding the orb in his hand and studying it for a while, he threw it back to Zhou Yang and said in a solemn voice: "You should keep this object. If you are really destined to reach the true immortal world in the future, this object may be able to May you save thousands of years of struggle!"

There was even a hint of envy in his words.

This made Zhou Yang even more curious, and he couldn't help but ask: "Master, can you elaborate?"

"Time is running out, I can only tell you that the sect that [Master Qianyang] comes from is a famous sect even in the real immortal world. There are more than one Earth Immortal in the Return to Void Stage in the sect, and he himself is even more famous. He is the blood descendant of one of the Earth Immortals in the Return to Void Stage!"
