Chapter 458: Harmony requires immortality(1/2)
Ancient sacred mountain.
Shui Mengyuanjun has overcome many dangers, and now he has used two of the thunder talismans in his hand.
It was not that he met the demon saint, but that he suddenly fell into some kind of dangerous situation. For his own safety and to complete the mission as soon as possible, Lord Shui Meng Yuan directly used the thunder talisman to blast through the desperate situation.
Finally, following the path given by the immortal, he led the talisman to a quiet pool, in the center of which stood a huge old tree.
The old tree has tangled roots and most of its bark has fallen off, exposing its powdery body. There are no legendary longevity fruits on the leaves, just a few sporadic green leaves.
The tree is withered.
Lord Shui Meng Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he quickly stepped forward, pressed his hand on the tree trunk, and penetrated it with his consciousness. It was like entering a mire, without any ripples.
There was a dead silence inside, just like an ordinary tree, a rotten tree.
"Little fox, was he the one who called you?"
Suddenly an old voice came.
Lord Shui Meng Yuan subconsciously looked around, his consciousness scanning every inch of the nearby space, but found nothing unusual.
After a brief moment of panic, I felt happy when I realized what I was doing.
There is still a glimmer of hope for your mission.
He bowed his hands and said: "Senior, junior Shui Meng was ordered by the immortal to come here to get the longevity fruit."
"Eternal Life Fruit..."
The old voice came again.
"He is immortal, so why does he need the Fruit of Immortality? He couldn't save the people he wanted to save back then, and I don't think he can save them now."
"The immortal's skills are so profound that I think I will be able to find a way." Shui Yuanjun said while looking for the source of the sound.
Suddenly, the soil loosened under his feet, and a short figure crawled out of the soil.
He was a little old man wearing coarse linen clothes, with a tumor on his head, three feet tall, many wrinkles, and using a cane.
There is also no breath, as if it does not exist, just like the dead leaves at your feet.
The more this is the case, the more awe is needed.
"Let's go, take me to see him. It's been nearly 2000 years, and I want to see how far he has grown."
——————————
The 570th year of the Immortal Calendar.
Floods in southern areas have subsided.
There are evil spirits in the eastern region, and the Shipping Department suppresses them.
A man-eating demon cultivator appears in Yundong City, and the Immortal Sect kills him.
This year is still a year of disasters, but now the human race has become more sophisticated in its ability to respond to various disasters, so most of them are not considered disasters.
Natural disasters are mediated by the Water Mansion headed by the Dragon Clan, and generally do not cause major disasters. Even if they cannot be controlled, the Shipping Department can quickly relocate.
Theoretically, the shipping department can currently transport most of the humans to escape, provided that they do not bring any baggage and the transfer is successful within 12 hours. But if they do not bring all kinds of food and daily necessities, escaping will be another disaster.
.
Similar evil spirits that need to be suppressed by force are the responsibility of the Shipping Department, which sometimes cooperates with the Immortal Sect.
Incidents located in cities where it is inconvenient to use Taoist methods of mass destruction are generally handled by the Immortal Sect.
At the same time, these three parties are not limited to one place, and often cooperate with each other.
Lord Shui Mengyuan came back with a little old man. Master Feixing was very puzzled, but he didn't ask.
Very few people know that Taiyin Star Lord is approaching his lifespan, and he only has the right to know.
Deep in the White Jade Palace, hundreds of flowers are blooming in a riot of purple and red.
When the little old man came here, the Taoist who was playing chess in the pavilion stopped what he was doing and looked at them.
He opened his cloudy eyes slightly, reflecting an ordinary young man.
For a long time, the two of them were silent.
There was only an intangible and invisible breath left, mediating, wrestling, and fighting between the two.
Taiyin Xingjun felt something, and Zhu Xue seemed to see two groups of energy.
Suddenly, the little old man took half a step back, then looked at himself, then looked up at Li Changsheng, and exclaimed: "Young people are awesome, no, it's a Taoist friend, a Taoist friend is so awesome hahahaha."
The little old man suddenly laughed heartily, then strode into the pavilion and sat down opposite Li Changsheng.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, fellow Taoist. I never thought that you would be so graceful today. I am so old and ashamed."
Once upon a time, that reckless young man had surpassed himself in less than 2,000 years. For his long life, it was simply a matter of the blink of an eye.
That year, Li Changsheng broke into the Ancient Sacred Mountain and went on a rampage, beating everyone he saw, and was almost invincible. Those so-called demon saints joined forces, but in the end they were no match for him.
Seeing that Li Changsheng was about to crush Dongtian Paradise, he had no choice but to stop him.
At the first glance, he understood that this person was absolutely extraordinary, so he promised to give him a longevity fruit in the future.
But I didn't expect Li Changsheng to be so powerful, already in a stateless appearance.
"Senior is still better than me in Taoism. I just killed more people and am better at fighting. And my senior's practice is not about fighting for strength and ruthlessness."
Li Changsheng's self-effacing words.
In terms of Taoism, he is indeed a little inferior, but in overall comparison, he is slightly better. Just like back then, the old tree spirit had a deeper Taoism than him, but he was not good at fighting, so he was overwhelming him.
Now Daoxing is also higher than him, but the gap is not as big as before, and there is no way to make up for the shortcomings in fighting skills.
But he is still one of the few strong men in the world.
"In a few years, fellow Taoists will surpass the old age."
The little old man waved his hand, and then asked straight to the point: "You want the longevity fruit this time? Is it to save the woman next to you?"
Li Yi nodded unequivocally.
The little old man took a look at Taiyin Xingjun, but was not surprised by his beauty. At his level, there was no difference between beauty and ugliness.
"It is possible to enter the Tao, but there is no hope of attaining it."
He shook his head and commented.
From the current perspective, this woman has some talents. Although her foundation is a bit superficial, she is able to reach the peak of Taoism in such an environment. She has certain talents and understanding.
But being unable to attain the Tao is not just about talent, but also about heaven and earth.
"Today's world has been shattered, and the laws have been subverted. Not to mention attaining the Tao, even entering the Tao is a luxury."
Li Changsheng asked: "Do you know how to solve it, fellow Taoist?"
"Hedao."
The little old man replied without thinking: "Now the only one who can do it is Hedao, either you or me."
"What if it doesn't work?" Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows. He actually had a similar feeling a long time ago.
As long as you are in harmony with yourself, everything will calm down.
"The heaven and earth continue to collapse, and eventually it will become an infinite calamity. My fellow Taoist is still young, and it is understandable that he does not want to join the Tao. Even if you come, you may not be able to solve the problem."
The little old man saw Li Changsheng's resistance and was not surprised.
Li Changsheng has not reached that stage yet. He should have the power of formlessness now, but Dao Xing is not truly formless yet.
It still takes some time and some opportunity.
I don't know how long it took, but I once walked away for more than 10,000 years.
"The old man has come to unite with the Tao, and he will continue the heaven and the earth for another 100,000 years."
His tone was decisive without any hesitation, as if it was a matter of course.
Li Changsheng sighed and said: "It seems that I am at a disadvantage, but can combining the Tao really solve the problem? How many people have combined the Tao in the past and present, but in the end they only prolong the coming of calamity."
"This is not something I should consider, it is the responsibility of fellow Taoists."
The little old man smiled and said: "Whether Hedao is right or not should be defined by you. If the old man thinks it is right, then go for it, but if you think it is wrong, then don't go."
"No one has ever stipulated that we must be in harmony. It's just that we are old and stupid and can't think of the second solution, so we can only compromise."
The little old man left behind a green fruit, which is the longevity fruit, but it has not grown completely and can only extend the life of Taiyin Star Lord by fifty years.
Also because of the changes in the environment of heaven and earth, and because he needs to unite with the Tao, he is naturally unable to breed the fruit of longevity.
"Fellow Taoist, just say goodbye."
The little old man slightly cupped his hands, and then his figure turned into stars and disappeared.
"farewell."
Li Changsheng also stood up and returned the greeting. The two of them had only met twice, but they seemed to be good friends who had known each other for many years.
Things are divided into groups, and people are divided into groups.
