Outer-Heaven Immortal

Li Shou pointed to his heart, then to the tranquil world around him.

"External possessions can be taken away, cultivation can be abolished, and the position of saint can be stripped, but this heart, which has experienced two lifetimes and awakened to its true nature, is my own."

"The Heart Sect, rather than being about teaching others, is more about the way I found for myself to survive and find peace of mind in this strange Prehistoric World."

Hu Fangyuan listened blankly, feeling as if thunder had rolled through his mind, or as if a fog had been dispelled.

I see!

It turns out that Shizun's establishment of the Heart Sect was not a sudden whim, nor was it for the sake of merit or fortune!

This is a small boat I built for myself amidst the raging waves of the Prehistoric World, a place of peace for my heart!

He does not contend, therefore no one in the world can contend with him!

He does not seek external things, therefore external things cannot disturb his mind!

"Then... Shizun accepted me as a disciple because..." Hu Fangyuan's voice was dry.

"Because you are Transmigrator, and even more so because of your words, it shows that your 'heart' is destined for my path."

Li Shou said frankly.

"In this Prehistoric World, there are quite a few Transmigrator like us."

"Of course, if you think I'm an unreliable master, you can still back out now."

Li Shou said, half-jokingly.

"No!"

Hu Fangyuan stood up, then realized it was impolite and quickly sat down, but his eyes remained incredibly firm.

"This disciple will never withdraw!"

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement and shock, and bowed solemnly to Li Shou once more:

"Disciple Hu Fangyuan thanks Shizun for your frankness!"

"It is my Shizun honor to be able to become your disciple!"

"From this day forward, I will diligently cultivate my Heart Dao and seek enlightenment, never failing my Shizun in imparting the Dao!"

Li Shou smiled, quite satisfied with Hu Fangyuan.

"Good!"

"Then it's settled."

He raised his hand and formally pushed the scroll of the "Heart Questioning Scripture" in front of Hu Fangyuan.

"This scripture was created by me by combining my experiences from two lifetimes, the Daoist principles of the Prehistoric World, and my own inner insights. Although it is only an introduction, it points directly to the fundamental principles of the Heart Dao."

"Stay here and study diligently. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"Yes, Shizun!"

Hu Fangyuan accepted the scroll with both hands; it was warm and smooth to the touch, as if it possessed a spirit.

"Oh, right."

Li Shou seemed to remember something and added.

"Your previous idea of 'enlightening the people' was well-intentioned."

"However, the way of thinking of the Prehistoric World Human Race, and even all other races, is completely different from that of Blue Star, and cannot be simply copied."

"You can first cultivate quietly in this realm. Once you have grasped the basics of the Heart Dao and made some progress in your cultivation, then you can gradually try different methods based on the actual situation. This is the right path."

Hu Fangyuan accepted the instruction with a stern expression. "This disciple understands!"

After thinking for a while, Hu Fangyuan finally asked the question that he had been holding back for so long.

"Master, my system is missing. Where is yours?"

Li Shou: "..."

"Uh... I was cleaved in two by the Father God Pangu."

If Li Shou hadn't known Hu Fangyuan's background, he would have thought that one of the other sages was there to play a trick on him.

"Wouldn't the Dao Ancestor just kill us Outer-Heaven Demon?"

Hu Fangyuan knew that Li Shou was Hongjun's disciple, but he wasn't!

What if Hongjun doesn't recognize him?

Li Shou smiled and shook his head after hearing this.

"In the eyes of a sage, all things are equal; you don't need to worry about that."

"Also, stop calling yourself Outer-Heaven Demon. Did you do something to harm the Prehistoric World?"

In Li Shou's view, there is still a big difference Transmigrator and Outer-Heaven Demon.

Most Transmigrator were forcibly brought to the Prehistoric World by the system, and then degenerated into Outer-Heaven Demon.

Moreover, the Outer-Heaven Demon are not only Transmigrator; Luo Hou's demon sons and grandsons are also Outer-Heaven Demon.

"Then what about us Transmigrator?" Hu Fangyuan asked, wanting to see what Li Shou's opinion would be.

After thinking for a while, Li Shou gave his answer.

"Outer-Heaven Immortal."

Hu Fangyuan found this to be very reasonable.

Outer-Heaven Immortal, a deity from beyond the Prehistoric World, sounds much better than Outer-Heaven Demon.

"So, does that mean our Heart Sect is the Outer-Heaven Immortal Sect?"

Shouyang Mountain, Eight Sceneries Palace.

The mountain is shrouded in mist, and the red aura forms a rosy glow.

Laozi, dressed in a gray Daoist robe, sat on a blue stone in front of the hall, with a rough pottery teapot in front of him.

He slowly poured himself a glass.

The tea soup was clear and bright, with barely visible steam rising from it.

"Lin Yan."

"Disciple is here." Lin Yan immediately closed the chat group interface.

He got caught slacking off again...

On the other side, Xuan Du was holding a scroll of Bamboo Slip, his brows furrowed.

The Daoist aura emanated from him, indicating that he was immersed in some profound deduction.

Laozi took a sip of tea, his gaze piercing through the void as he looked towards the East Sea.

"Heart Sect..."

He muttered to himself, his face still expressionless.

"Xuan Du, Lin Yan."

"Disciple is here," the two replied simultaneously.

"Pack your things, and come with me for a walk."

"Yes," Xuan Du replied respectfully, without asking any further questions.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

Going out?

Having been a disciple for so long, apart from cultivating on Shouyang Mountain, he has never gone on a long trip with his Shizun!

"Shizun, where are we going?" Lin Yan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Laozi put down his teacup, stood up, and dusted off non-existent dust.

"Go and visit your fourth master's Heart Teachings Dojo."

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Auspicious Qi in thousands of strands, and rosy Myriad Daos.

On the high platform, the Yuanshi Tianzun Venerable, with a majestic face and lightning-like gaze, slowly swept over his disciples below.

"When you join my Chan Sect, always remember: follow the will of Heaven and the will of the people, elucidate the Way of Heavenly Dao, cultivate yourselves and understand your nature, and remain untainted by worldly defilement."

"Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Taiyi Realm, and Yuding, the four of you will accompany me to the East Sea to visit your fourth martial uncle."

"The rest of you, return to your caves and diligently cultivate your Daoist practices; do not slacken your efforts."

"Yes! I will obey the Master's decree!"

The disciples responded in unison, their voices resounding through the Yun Xiao.

The four mentors who were named showed excitement and pride on their faces.

Being able to travel with a saint is an immense honor in itself, and it also signifies a different status in the leader's heart.

Randeng stood with his hands at his sides, a slight thought stirring within him.

Why didn't Yuanshi take him along?

Was it because they felt it inappropriate for him, as the leader of the sect, to act rashly, or... were there other considerations?

"Randeng."

"Junior brother is here."

"While I am away, you will temporarily handle all affairs of the Yuxu Palace."

The voice of the Yuanshi came, calm yet undeniable.

"If there is any emergency, just call my name in your mind."

Randeng: "..."

Yuanshi did not give Randeng a chance to refute.

With a wave of his sleeve, the Nine Dragon Incense Carriage radiated boundless pure light.

He swept up Guangchengzi and the other three, transforming them into a beam of Jade Purity Immortal Light that pierced through heaven and earth, heading directly towards the East Sea.

East Sea, Penglai Immortal Island.

The sword's aura was faint, and a murderous intent was hidden.

It is completely different from the solemnity of Kunlun Mountain and the tranquility of Shouyang Mountain.

Deep within the Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Cult Master slowly opened his eyes from the crystal coffin.

With the help of the crystal coffin, his injuries have recovered by about 70-80%.

"Zhenyuanzi... Hongjun..."

He murmured the two names: one that had caused him a silent humiliation, and the other that still haunted him to this day.

"Shizun." Daoist Duobao's voice rang out from outside the barrier.

"Come in."

Duobao bowed and entered, his expression respectful yet tinged with weariness.

Have there been any unusual developments recently?

"According to reports from disciples planted outside, the East Sea Dragon Clan has completely retreated into the deep sea since the disappearance of Candle Dragon."

"In addition..."

Duobao paused for a moment, then said, "Both the eldest and second eldest uncles have made some movements, seemingly about to leave the temple, and their direction... seems to be towards the East Sea."

"Are the eldest and second senior brothers coming to the East Sea?" Tongtian raised an eyebrow.

Were they just passing by, or did they come specifically for his Penglai Island?

His Biyou Palace has been established in the East Sea, but he hasn't officially announced Prehistoric World yet.

Could it be that because he consumed the Heavenly Dao's Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, the two of them began to suspect his identity?

No, that's not right.

The eldest brother is quiet and inactive, while the second brother is very concerned about his reputation. Even if he has a problem with him, it's unlikely that they'll both come over.

unless...

A faint alarm bell rang in Tongtian's heart.

He recalled the "fourth brother" Li Shou who had suddenly appeared, and his strange "Heart Sect."

Could it be because of him?

"Do you know what they are up to?" Tongtian pressed.

"I don't know the specifics, but I've vaguely heard that it seems to be related to the newly established ' Heart Sect ' dojo in the East Sea," Duobao said, bowing his head.

Heart Sect!

Heavenly Eye narrowed.

Really!

This Li Shou established a bizarre "Heart Sect," which neither worshipped Primordial Realm nor aspired to sainthood, but instead engaged in "mind cultivation."

Now, it's surprising that both the eldest and second eldest brothers have come to visit at the same time?

There's definitely something wrong here!

This Li Shou is probably not as simple as he seems on the surface.

Countless thoughts raced through Tongtian's mind in an instant.

He has to go too!

"Duobao."

"Disciple is here."

"Gather Jin Ling, Wu Dang, Gui Ling, and then call Zhao Gongming and the San Xiao."

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Tongtian Cult Master, his expression resolute.

"Come with me on this trip to visit your fourth uncle's... Heart Teachings Dojo!"
