Although Mount Tai is mysterious, it does not prohibit ordinary people from climbing it.
There are even cable cars and escalators built, turning the original sacred mountain in the universe, which is supposed to be the forbidden area of life, into a mortal street.
Of course this is just the surface.
Behind Mount Tai, there is boundless wilderness distributed within the folded space around it. That is what Mount Tai should look like.
It is precisely because of the existence of the special folded space that the earth, which seems to be a small place, has a huge area comparable to the five major regions of the Beidou Star. It can accommodate a large number of monks and mortals.
However, there is no mortal life in the space behind Mount Tai.
The person who caused the current situation is none other than Zhuang Jiutian who merged many ancient life stars and folded the space around Mount Tai.
That's how he looks now.
This is not only true for Mount Tai, but also for other famous mountains and rivers on the earth.
From the perspective of outsiders, the Earth is just a small ancient planet with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers.
But if expanded, the size of the earth is probably vaster than the sun.
However, it is also because most of the areas suitable for practice are hidden in countless folding spaces that the convenient communication is possible today.
The mortal earth is like a transit station, communicating with countless mysterious and huge worlds.
It's like the center of the universe.
This has created the wonders of today, where even mortals can easily climb Mount Tai, the origin of the sacred mountain in the universe.
Jade Emperor Summit is bustling with activity, and there is never a moment of silence. It does not look like a pure abode of gods at all, but is no different from an ordinary park.
Lively and no barriers to entry.
Although the top of the Jade Emperor is crowded with people and life is bustling, it seems extremely lively, but the bustling crowd cannot cover up the majesty of Mount Tai.
Looking around, there are still mountains and deep forests.
The mist drifted, and the spiritual energy was like a tide, nourishing countless spiritual insects and beasts.
Tigers roar, apes chirp, insects chirp and birds chirp, revealing the vastness of Mount Tai.
The area that ordinary people can move around still only accounts for a small part of Mount Tai.
Even if a mortal can climb to the top of the Jade Emperor, he or she may not be able to see all the mountains at a glance.
After all, they are just mortals, and the area they can affect as far as they can see and their energy is dispersed is really very limited.
The impact on the majestic Mount Tai is not as great as the wild beasts in the mountains.
Mortal aura is limited after all.
Not only is his aura limited, but his eyesight is also limited, and his wisdom is also limited. In general, he is limited in everything, and his short-sightedness is revealed everywhere.
But he is full of fantastic ideas and strange behaviors.
Wu De walked among the crowd and did not look out of place at all.
Even though he was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk in his hand, with white hair and a childlike face, like an old god who stepped out of a painting, he still couldn't make those mortals look at him.
It's not as good as the children at the bottom of the mountain who could shout "Old God" after seeing Wu De.
People who climb mountains seem to be accustomed to strange things.
Wu De is not regarded as an outsider who has returned to the mortal world at all.
Some people even pointed at him behind his back and said weird things after he left.
Similar to: "At such an old age, he still imitates young people and performs drag shows. He is really shameless."
Or, "This person is a liar at first sight. Sisters, if he tells fortunes later, we must be careful."
Or even, "What age are we in, and there are still Taoist priests wearing such antique clothes? He can't be a fake Taoist priest, right?"
In short, most people did not treat him as a normal Taoist priest.
Instead, he was classified into the ranks of cheating and abducting.
This left Wu De speechless for a while. Is it his fault for wearing ancient Taoist robes?
Could it be that they are too young and have too little experience to recognize the styles of Taoist robes from the mythical age?
The discussion about Wu De is just a sideshow.
The topics that tourists really talked about along the way were almost all related to the "immortality" on top of the Jade Emperor.
Although Wu De didn't feel even a little bit of moral energy in those people's hearts.
However, this does not prevent them from considering "impacting the fate of immortality" as one of the purposes of this trip.
Some people may think that because of his immense wealth and extraordinary means, he is the only one who deserves the immortal fate.
However, in Wu De's view, those who are obsessed with wine, sex and wealth are the ones who can show their prestige in the community of mortals.
Anyone with some level of cultivation will not come into contact with them.
The aura of the mortal world, brewing in their hearts filled with greed, anger and delusion, is so stench that the monks can make a detour even if they are ten miles away from the wind.
However, Wu De didn't feel unusual. Isn't that the case for most mortals?
However, when he saw those people with their families climbing the mountain at this moment, Wu De realized that the encounter with immortality on the top of the Jade Emperor was probably a matter deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It's like the high-end "immortality" that can help mortals escape from the suffering of the mortal world has evolved into a tourism project.
Wu De was very interested in this. Although ordinary people's actions sometimes seemed stupid, sometimes they could point to the essence of the problem.
Interpret the high-level things in a popular way.
In order to learn more about "The Fate of Immortality", after climbing to the top of the Jade Emperor, Wu De asked a staff member about it.
"Old Taoist Priest, are you here to have a chance at immortality?"
Before Wu De could ask any questions, the enthusiastic staff member spoke first.
Wu De nodded, and then asked very humbly: "The old Taoist has this intention. I wonder if this layman can explain it to the old Taoist in detail?"
Although Wu De could understand everything with just one thought, he still asked about this matter in the most primitive way. This did not mean that he deliberately concealed his cultivation, but that this situation and this situation were the only way to appear "normal".
"Taoist Priest, you should know about the Heavenly Court in the myth where the emperor ascended to heaven. Legend has it that the Emperor of Heaven bumped into the Great Immortal from the top of the Jade Emperor, and then ascended to the position of Emperor of Heaven step by step. Later, the Emperor of Heaven watched the years here.

The staff aunt was so knowledgeable that she gave a different interpretation of Ye Fan's Heaven. Wu De didn't even recognize the interpretation. It was as if what he had seen was fake. That staff member
What is said is the truth.
When the staff member finished what he said, Wu De did not refute, but nodded seriously, and then asked: "When did this collision with immortality begin?"
"This has been around since ancient times. No one knows when it started. However, Taoist priest, don't worry, it's true that the fate of immortals is real. Even if you can't ride a dragon to the sky like the Emperor of Heaven, there are still immortals living in the wild world.
The great sect will send people to look for disciples here."
"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"Of course. You can see them coming out to recruit disciples at this time of year. Let me tell you, this Jade Emperor's Peak is only a palm-sized plot of land, but in terms of the number of immortals it contains, it is definitely the best in the world."
The staff aunt finally encountered an opportunity that allowed her to show off her eloquence, and she was able to stop there.
Seeing this, Wu De quickly interrupted her and said, "Thank you, layman, for clarifying my doubts."
"Taoist Master, I see that you are also an accomplished qi practitioner. Do you want to exchange some really useful information with me?" The staff member saw that Wu De seemed to be extremely eager to meet the immortal, and began to ask Wu De
De promoted her career.
"Is there a backdoor to the immortal fate?" Wu De asked with interest.
"Taoist Master, what you said are all internal benefits for the staff, not a back door. But I can't use it, so I just want to give you the opportunity." The staff member's aunt looked like she was thinking about Wu De.
"Since it's a chance encounter, let's try our luck." Wu De refused the internal benefits offered by the staff.
"That Taoist priest, you had a good time."
The staff member’s aunt was not disappointed after being rejected by Wu De, and then went to find the next fat sheep.
Standing on the five-color altar at sunrise, being valued by the Immortal Sect, has the highest success rate of being accepted as a disciple?
This is the real information that the staff aunt wants to trade with Wu De.
Wu De could tell at a glance that the five-color altar on top of the Jade Emperor was not the real five-color altar, but an imitation rebuilt by later generations.
The five-color altar that truly allows people to step onto the starry sky passage has now been placed in the folded space behind Mount Tai.
Moreover, there is a team of monks guarding him at all times.
How could these things pass Wu De's discernment?
However, he still walked to the imitation five-color altar with great interest.
Perhaps everyone knew that it was a replica, so they just regarded it as a decoration on the ground. No one thought it was very mysterious.
There was only one little Taoist priest with red lips and white teeth and a handsome appearance, who seemed to be studying the five-color altar on the ground very seriously.
However, perhaps because of his outstanding appearance, people around the little Taoist priest took photos with him from time to time.
The little Taoist priest was not angry. Every time he came here, he would stop and think, and then he would take photos with those people in his robes and hats.
Among them, the beautiful young ladies are the most numerous.
Some brave young ladies even asked the little Taoist priest if they wanted to go to dinner together.
The little Taoist priest politely refused them one by one.
Although he had no cultivation base, Wu De found that the little Taoist priest had a heart that was not disturbed by the mortal world.
No matter how troublesome it is, he will greet it with a smile, but when it comes to rejecting it, he will do so simply and with good reason.
Standing in the center of the five-color altar, the little Taoist priest looked up from time to time at the breezy sky.
As if waiting for something to arrive.
"Little Taoist priest, what are you looking at?" Wu De finally walked up to him and asked.
"Old Taoist, I'm looking at the sky." The young Taoist was very interesting and actually called Wu De an old Taoist.
"You haven't become a monk yet?" Wu De said with interest.
"Well, I'm a fake Taoist priest."
The little Taoist priest's answer was very interesting, as if he was saying that those who regard him as a true Taoist priest are blind.
However, his serious look made people unable to get angry.
"What's in the sky?" Wu De asked again.
"There are nine dragons, but they keep hovering in the sky and don't fall down. It seems that I am also a person who has no chance." What the little Taoist said seemed to be true.
But in Wu De's eyes, there is nothing in the sky.
"Then how do you think Jiulong came down to take you to immortality?" Wu De asked again.
"Maybe I have to wait until I can no longer see Jiulong." The little Taoist priest exuded a free and easy aura that transcended the world of mortals.
"Have you ever studied Taoism?" As soon as this anger came out, Wu De's eyes flashed with a look of surprise.
"No, I don't want to learn Taoism." The little Taoist priest said firmly.
"Then what do you want to do?" Wu De asked.
"I want to cultivate the Tao, follow the heaven, the earth, and the natural way to realize the Tao," the little Taoist priest showed strong self-confidence.
Just like in the world, it doesn't matter whether there is a road, what matters is that he dares to go for it.
It’s just that there is a lack of an opportunity to step onto the threshold of enlightenment.
Then he can learn from nature, observe the myriad ways of heaven and earth, and ascend to immortality step by step.
"Good ambition." Wu De nodded with satisfaction.
"Old Taoist, you are not bad either." The young Taoist suddenly praised.
"What's so good about Pindao?" Wu De was a little surprised. He wanted to see what the little Taoist would think of him.
"You are a true master, someone who has escaped from the suffering of the mortal world." The little Taoist priest said with certainty.
"How did you see it?" Wu De asked.
"My eyes never lie to me. Although you are living in the world of mortals, you don't have the spirit of the world of mortals." The little Taoist priest pointed at his pair of eyes that were too clean and too clean.
There is no trace of color in the clear black and white boy's hole, but there are flashes of spiritual light and mysterious avenue symbols.
Turns out to be another monk with fairy eyes.
Although Wu De did not use any magical powers, he could clearly see the abnormalities in the little Taoist priest's eyes. Although the little Taoist priest was a mortal, he had a pair of special divine eyes, and they were a pair of fairy eyes that could see through the world of mortals.
Could it be that the Jade Emperor's chance to meet the immortals became popular just to gather talents?
"What's your name?" Wu De finally started to ask the little Taoist priest's name.
"Wu Ming." said the little Taoist priest.
"Wu Ming? The nameless name of the saint?" Wu De said with a smile.
"No, Koutian Wu, Sun Moon Ming, Wu Ming." The little Taoist shook his head and explained.
"What a coincidence. My name is Wu De. It seems that we are quite destined. We are both generations of Wu." Wu De said.
Suddenly the little Taoist priest stared at Wu De and said: "The nine dragons have flown away."
Wu De was not moved at all, and then said: "You must be dazzled, keep looking."
Then, in the eyes of the young Taoist priest Wu Ming, Wu De in front of him began to change, turning into nine black gold dragons pulling an immortal copper coffin.
The little Taoist priest's calm mentality finally changed. He pointed at Wu De and said, "So you are the immortal."
"Do you want to follow the old Taoist to practice Taoism?" Wu De seemed to be kidnapping a child.
"When immortality comes, there is no reason to refuse. I will go with you." Little Taoist Wu Ming said with firm eyes.
"Then let's go."
Afterwards, Wu De swept away the dust and disappeared on top of the Jade Emperor with the little Taoist Wu Ming.
It didn't alarm anyone, as if they had never been to Jade Emperor Peak.
When they appeared again, they were already on an inconspicuous hill in the folded space behind Mount Tai.
Then as Wu De waved his hand, a somewhat crude-looking cave appeared on the hill.
It is a cave full of traces of time, as if it has been sealed in dust for millions of years.
As the cave door opened, a rich scent of vegetation wafted out from the cave.
The young Taoist priest Wu Ming looked at Wu De with a surprised look on his face and said, "There is a holy medicine here."
"Maybe."
Wu De obviously didn't care much about whether there was an ancient medicine king in the cave, and then he took the young Taoist Wu Ming into the cave and came to the study room used for enlightenment.
"Whose cave is this? Why are milk cans carved on the wall? It's really strange." Wu Ming glanced at the layout of the cave and asked curiously.
But Wu De said: "That's not a milk can, it's the Great Ancestral Talisman. If you understand it, you will be happier than becoming an emperor."
"Okay, this will be your place of cultivation from now on. I will preach to you here for a month."
"Are you leaving?" Wu Ming thought Wu De would accept him as his disciple, but he didn't expect that he would only be teaching him for a month.
"One month is enough to get started on the road," Wu De said with a smile.
Later, Wu De began to teach the young Taoist Wu Ming the "Nature Classic".
At the same time, Wu Ming was also asked to draw talismans to refine his heart and develop his worldly mind.
