What is a Celestial Being?

Upon hearing that Li Fan agreed to accept these two artifacts, Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning were overjoyed, thinking they had finally done something to please Senior Li...

However, they never expected Li Fan to immediately give them to Ziling and Nan Feng?

They were both very surprised.

But, after thinking about it, they felt relieved.

Who was Senior Li? Why would he need mere immortal artifacts?

He would only use them to give to his disciples...

Thinking this, they couldn't help but feel envious of Ziling and Nan Feng.

Although they could also receive some favor from Senior Li, how could it compare to learning by his side?

Being able to follow Senior Li was the true supreme immortal path!

"Thank you, thank you, Teacher!"

Nan Feng and Ziling said excitedly.

They each took the brush and the zither.

As the immortal artifacts entered their hands, they were momentarily dazed, finding it hard to believe.

How many people had the Three Absolutes Holy Land sent into the Cangli Mountain Range in the past? Countless, but in the end, they all failed, and not even a single piece of information was discovered.

Now, they had obtained them so easily...

Following Teacher, many things truly became this simple...

"By the way, Senior, there are a few seniors outside who also participated in this matter. They wish to pay their respects to you. Are you willing to see them?"

At this moment, Mu Qianning asked.

Li Fan understood instantly upon hearing this.

It seemed that giving Huo Ling'er calligraphy and paintings this time had indeed attracted some attention at the art exhibition.

Therefore, more people were willing to come...

This could be considered gaining some fame?

A hint of joy arose in his heart, and he said, "Since they are here, please invite them in."

Huo Ling'er immediately bowed and then retreated.

"The three of you, Senior Li has agreed to see you."

She spoke to the three people waiting outside.

Instantly, joy appeared on the faces of the three.

This senior was willing to see them!

They all stepped forward excitedly.

Entering the small courtyard.

"What a terrifying aura... It's as if the entire place is filled with an existence of peerless terror. I feel like an ant..."

Lingchao Supreme murmured, sensing the hidden, vast, surging Dao Rhyme and Dao Principles.

"This... this place... hides so many..."

Yuanyang Supreme swept his gaze around. When he saw the group of Earth Chickens and the goldfish in the pond... he was speechless and completely stunned.

As for the white-haired woman, she had already stopped, frozen.

Her entire being seemed lost in thought.

"Immortal path... supreme immortal path..."

"This is the place..."

She looked at Li Fan blankly, and suddenly, with a thump, she knelt on the ground!

Seeing this, Lingchao Supreme and Yuanyang Supreme were even more shocked.

This was a quasi-immortal... and she actually knelt down?

What was the origin of this being?

The two exchanged glances, and without hesitation, they also knelt down!

Li Fan was immediately flustered.

What the heck was this situation?

They knelt down upon meeting?

These calligraphy and painting enthusiasts were truly more exaggerated than the last!

Huo Ling'er and the others beside him subconsciously widened their mouths.

The identities of these three were among the highest in the entire Profound Heaven Realm... one quasi-immortal and two Holy Lords!

And they actually knelt down upon meeting.

Their expressions were complex.

Everyone present was extremely surprised, and Li Fan finally came back to his senses. He said, "Why the formalities? Please rise quickly!"

To the three of them, Li Fan's words sounded like supreme decrees, as if there was an unseen force compelling them to get up.

"Senior comprehends the mysteries of creation. With just a piece of calligraphy, you made us kneel and worship. Now that we have met you, we have no regrets even if we die!"

Lingchao Supreme spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"Heaven and earth cannot find another person like you, Senior. What fortune it is to have the chance to meet you, what fortune it is!"

Yuanyang Supreme also spoke.

Li Fan smiled and said, "You two flatter me. I've merely mastered some minor skills. How could I dare accept such praise from you all?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them became even more impressed.

This was a true peerless expert, living in seclusion amidst the mortal world, detached and elegant, humble and amiable.

To such a Great Power, the Great Dao, which even immortals could not touch, was merely "some minor skills."

"Senior... Senior, may I... follow by your side and listen to your teachings?"

At this moment, the white-haired woman spoke.

For the first time, her originally stern face showed a look of nervousness and trepidation.

Even though she had been a quasi-immortal for countless years and was the supreme being of the Profound Heaven Realm, the existence before her was too terrifying to behold. She could only look up, and thus, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Li Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Another one wants to be my disciple?

I'm not interested in that...

"Senior... Regarding this matter, we must thank her for her help. To come and seek your guidance, she even gave up a great opportunity..."

Mu Qianning couldn't help but speak up for the white-haired woman.

It was the white-haired woman who first entered the Ascension Platform and lured out the true immortal.

After the true immortal died, she didn't even collect its blood in order to come and pay respects to Li Fan.

It could be said that her Dao heart was extremely firm.

Mu Qianning couldn't bear to see her rejected.

Li Fan sighed upon hearing this, thinking that this woman was also quite devoted.

He then said, "I won't be taking any more disciples for the time being. However, considering your firm Dao heart, I can clarify a few things for you. What do you wish to ask?"

The white-haired woman felt a mix of disappointment and intense excitement!

She knew that although she couldn't follow this senior, she had obtained a rare and invaluable opportunity!

To receive answers from such a person... what a precious opportunity this was!

What should I ask?

I must think carefully!

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Seeing her hesitate for a long time, Li Fan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Fate brings us together. Just ask whatever you wish to know."

He could understand the woman's mindset. Before crossing over, when he was studying, he would have to carefully consider his questions when asking a teacher, for fear of being thought of as an idiot.

This woman was so devoted to this path, she would surely care even more.

The woman nodded, took a deep breath, and finally selected the question that mattered most to her: "Senior, may I ask, what is... an immortal?"

Immortal!

Upon hearing this question, Yuanyang Supreme and Lingchao Supreme also listened with great attention!

Li Fan was slightly taken aback.

Immortal?

I'm not a cultivator, how would I know what an immortal is...

However, the other party was surely not asking about cultivation, so they must be asking about the realm of calligraphy and painting.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "An immortal is all beings."

Everyone's expressions shifted, and they listened quietly.

"A blade of grass, a grain of sand, a cicada... are all immortals."

"To the naked eye, everything appears ordinary, but the true transcendence, the true immortal, is hidden within the ordinary."

"To enter the Dao, one must first recognize the ordinary."

"To understand what white is, one must first understand what black is. To understand what is right, one must understand what is wrong."

"Therefore, to understand what an immortal is, one must understand what ordinary is."

He spoke eloquently.

Actually, this was why he had Huo Ling'er repeatedly draw an egg.

One must use their true eyes to see, to perceive the principles hidden behind ordinary things.

Only then, whether it be calligraphy or painting, could one truly enter the Dao.

Upon hearing this, the woman fell into deep thought.

"To understand what white is, one must understand what black is... To understand what an immortal is, one must understand what the mortal is..."

In a daze, she seemed to understand something.

Is this why this senior lives in seclusion among the ordinary?

Ever since becoming a quasi-immortal, she had always hidden herself away in deep ice, believing that only then could she cultivate a pure and untainted immortal heart. Had she, in fact, been going in the opposite direction, taking the wrong path?

The more she thought, the more she felt that these nearly thousand years had been wasted, all spent in vain.

"I think I understand."

She murmured, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Li Fan waved his hand. "It was just a small effort."

"Everyone, don't just stand there. As it happens, a few of the new peaches in my courtyard have ripened these past few days, so I'll treat you to them."

Li Fan smiled.

The fruits on the peach tree had ripened a bit, and it was a good time to let Huo Ling'er and the others have a taste.

Everyone looked at the peach tree, and they were instantly stunned.

To, to treat them with these peaches?!
