Chapter 4 cultivates a clear and transparent Dao heart, while retaining the Buddha of wine and meat
Ye Fan and Pang Bo nodded in agreement; they were both relatively optimistic people who wouldn't give up easily.
Staying put and waiting is not their style.
The three walked side by side. Some people behind wanted to follow, but most of them wanted Lu Sheng and the others to scout ahead first.
Who knows if there's danger ahead?
Just then, the bronze coffin suddenly made a loud noise, which frightened everyone so much that they quickly followed it in groups.
Staying at the location of the Five-Colored Altar is not necessarily safe.
Lu Sheng and the other two continued on their way. During this time, Lu Sheng unabashedly took out Lu Zu's sword. Unfortunately, he was not even at the Blood Transformation Realm, and his Pollen Evolution Path was only in its initial stage of awakening, so he could not use his energy flexibly.
The purpose of taking it out now is simply to use it as a sturdy weapon, and to hope that it can resonate with Buddhist artifacts in the Great Thunder Temple and unleash some of its power in case of crisis.
Upon seeing him take out the peach wood sword, Pang Bo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lu Sheng, what's the use of taking out a piece of wood? Can this thing even be used for self-defense?"
Ye Fan, who had been traveling with Lu Sheng all this way, now saw the ancient coffin containing the dragon corpse. Disregarding preconceived notions, he asked with an absurd thought:
"Lu Sheng, could it be that all these years, what you've been searching for is something from mythology?"
After graduation, the few close friends did not lose contact. Although they did not meet in person often, they would still chat occasionally through their phones.
He knew that Lu Sheng was traveling all over the world.
Connecting Lu Sheng's strange behavior on the road with his current calmness, it seems that the answer has been found.
He also thought the idea was absurd, but the dragons from mythology appeared.
Lu Sheng prepared supplies for climbing Mount Tai, which suggests he was well-prepared, prompting speculation.
When Ye Fan asked him, Lu Sheng didn't completely hide it, because there was nothing worth hiding.
Now that Pang Bo has disappeared, the demons on Earth might even impersonate him, making the already turbulent blue planet even more unsettled.
He frankly said, "I guess so. Over the years, I've traveled to every corner of the country, from the mysterious Kunlun Mountains to Changbai Mountain Tianchi and the legendary Shennongjia. I always prepare some supplies beforehand, and this time it was just a habit."
"Now that everyone has actually seen the dragon from mythology, I have nothing to hide."
"There are indeed immortals and gods in this world. In all my years of seeking immortals and asking questions, I have only found this one magical peach wood sword. No conventional means can destroy it."
Pang Bo's eyes widened in shock. "You've been secretly cultivating immortality behind our backs! I'm getting jealous! Introduce me to a fairy, or I won't forgive you!"
The news, which would have left most people speechless, left Pang Bo speechless with embarrassment.
After his initial surprise, Ye Fan quickly calmed down. Having witnessed the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, hearing about Seeking Immortality and Asking the Dao was no big deal.
The most important thing is whether Lu Sheng has the ability to help them escape.
He asked, "Forget about the fairy, Lu Sheng, have you found the legendary immortal techniques? Can you take us back to Mount Tai?"
Lu Sheng spoke with a mixture of truth and falsehood, feigning helplessness as he said:
"The supreme immortal techniques are hidden too deeply. I only learned a few rudimentary methods of physical training from my master. My general level is enough to defeat the two of you without any problem."
"Don't even think about going back. Although I didn't learn the true method, I have read many hidden ancient books."
"Do you know why I often go to mysterious places?"
"Because ancient books record what is known as the Ancient Starry Sky Road."
"The five-colored altar we saw earlier is the signpost."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was deeply shaken. He thought of the ancient emperors and sages who performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai. It turned out that the ancient sages had already recorded this, but they had lost too much of their legacy.
No, perhaps it wasn't lost, it's just that ordinary people like them were never the ones to inherit it.
Pang Bo didn't react much to this. He was always optimistic and believed that there was always a chance if he was alive. Instead, he was interested in Lu Sheng's statement that he could take on both of them at once.
"I was wondering why you suddenly became so strong. Come on, let's shake hands."
Pang Bo reached out, wanting to feel Lu Sheng's strength, and Lu Sheng naturally agreed.
I'll squeeze you to death!
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Pang Bo quickly gave in after a lot of effort, and said with a pained expression as he released his grip, "You're too abnormal! You still say you haven't cultivated immortality."
"This level of skill isn't even up to the first realm recorded in the annals."
Lu Sheng laughed and said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you when it's safe. But if you obtain the real immortal techniques, I'm afraid you won't even look at them."
Pang Bo: "Who said that? I'm determined to learn it!"
The fact that his best friend suddenly became a seeker of immortality did not change the relationship between the three of them. Guys would love for their best buddies to be some kind of hidden tycoon.
Ye Fan continued forward while asking, "Lu Sheng, tell me more about this so-called Ancient Starry Sky Road."
"The Ancient Starry Sky Road, as the name suggests." Lu Sheng kicked at the rubble under his feet, picked up a skull with a small hole in its forehead, and said while examining it:
"It's like opening up a road in the starry sky, just like the cable car on Mount Tai."
"If Earth is the Central Heavenly Gate, then this is the Southern Heavenly Gate. Take one step forward, and you will enter the world of immortals and gods."
"This place was called Yinghuo in ancient times. You must know this name. This is Mars."
Ye Fan remained calm; he had anticipated this when he saw the reddish-brown earth.
He sighed softly and said, "It seems that I can't go back for the time being."
Lu Sheng: "Don't be discouraged. I've done my research. If we keep moving forward, there will always be ancient planets where immortals dwell. Once we have people, we can find a way to come back."
"Anyway, the Five-Colored Altar is still there, and this ancient starry road is still there. As long as we master the method, it's only a matter of time before we go home."
"I've already told you my story of seeking immortality and enlightenment, so you must know I'm happy."
"It's not my fault. I knew what was going on when I saw the five-colored altar, but I didn't trigger it. If you go down directly, I'll go down first."
"Since you're all observing, I can't help but be curious too."
"In the end, it was also that person who triggered the Five-Colored Altar."
"It's all fate."
"It was all preordained by fate."
Ye Fan nodded in understanding. He then turned to examine the skull in Lu Sheng's hand, and frowned when he saw the small hole in the forehead:
"This place doesn't look safe."
"Just be careful. If you die here, that's fate." Lu Sheng twirled his peach wood sword and continued:
"I, Lu Sheng, am also somewhat skilled in swordsmanship. Let the demons and monsters come, I'll chop them down."
Pang Bo complained, "The last paragraph was cut; it was so out of place."
Lu Sheng: "What do you know? This is called acting on impulse. If you want to do something, then do it. It's about cultivating a clear mind, letting wine and meat pass through your intestines while keeping Buddha in your heart. Amitabha."
