Sun Xiaochuan of the Ancient Cultivation Realm, Roselle of the Immortal Hero World
The saying "In the mountains, there is no calendar; when the cold ends, one knows not the year" is perfectly suited to describe Lü Yuan, who has been spending these days in the [Swan Palace].
Every day, the moment I open my eyes, all I think about is studying, studying, and more studying.
He was oblivious to day and night, making it difficult to discern the time. If it weren't for the occasional Capitalist Immortal Cultivation Realm providing him with the time, he wouldn't have been able to do so.
He thought he had been there for a month.
But in reality, it only lasted less than ten days...
But in just ten days, Lü Yuan underwent a complete transformation.
It's not just about knowledge, experience, and character; it's also about martial arts skills and physical prowess!
At dusk, in a martial arts training ground of the [Swan Palace], two figures were constantly clashing and exchanging loud noises.
But no matter how much Sword Qi energy emanated, how many runes bombarded, or how many Law Techniques were unleashed, one figure could not harm the other in the slightest.
And this happened while he was distracted!
That's right, he was distracted, and even while holding back, he was still torturing the clone that Chen Sheng had casually created...
It was Lü Yuan.
His distraction wasn't due to disrespect for the "self" opposite him, but rather because he couldn't help but recall the history and knowledge he had learned over the past few days.
[Now we are in the third millennium of the reign of the Heavenly Market Enclosure. Before this, the Supreme Palace Enclosure and the Purple Forbidden Enclosure both followed the instructions left by their ancestors and reigned for a total of ten thousand years.]
It is now the year 2028 of the Heavenly Market Calendar. Previously, [Supreme Palace] and [Purple T176] had ruled for a total of ten thousand years...
In other words, even without counting the time the Three Enclosures) lived, the Dao of Immortality has existed for over 12,000 years.
The "copy" swung its sword, unleashing Sword Qi aura that was identical to the Sword Qi that Lü Yuan himself had mastered, sweeping out over a hundred meters.
But Lü Yuan didn't care and swung his sword as well, only this time it was less than a tenth the size of his opponent's.
But...
Sword Qi isn't necessarily more powerful the bigger it is.
As expected, Lü Yuan's Sword Qi was devastating, cleaving the hundred-meter-long slash in two before "brushing past" the clone's clothing.
"Since the second day, this clone has been unable to keep up with my level. Didn't the teacher say that it would become stronger as I get stronger?"
"But how come I didn't notice--"
Having easily dodged another second-grade talisman, Lü Yuan muttered to himself.
[Most historical records from the time when Supreme Palace and Purple T176 ruled are now unavailable; the only thing that has survived is the celestial court they established for this purpose.]
[One is the "Five Emperors' Seat", and the other is the "Supreme One Palace"]
"The Five Emperors' Seat" and "Supreme One Palace"—I really want to know what they looked like back then compared to now.
After all, the historical records of Heavenly Market always say that things are not as good as they used to be, and they vehemently criticize the successors of the Heavenly Market lineage as a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Although most of our elders have ascended to heaven, why don't you dare try to sweep across the land and cleanse the Nine Provinces?
Instead, for over two thousand years, it has been a process of other Daoist Dao Embryo taking turns to rise and fall...
First came the Third Devil Ancestor, then the Second Northern Dipper, then the Second Sun, and finally the Southern Dipper.
And it's one thing to be kicked aside one after another, but what do you mean by just lying there passively accepting it?
It's a mess. None of the people involved were knocked down by you guys.
The Second Sun is said to have met with misfortune in his later years, while the Second Northern Dipper was overthrown by cultivators from all over the world because "there is no one in the world who cannot be killed".
That's fine, it's ultimately an internal matter for our Xuanmen (Daoist sect).
But how come the Third Devil Ancestor was defeated by the Victorious Fighting Buddha of Chan School? He was even a demon!
The [Three Enclosures] ancestors for eighteen generations have been utterly disgraced by your [Heavenly Market] lineage!
"Every time I read this part, I can't help but break down..."
Watching the clone step forward, ready to fight him, Lü Yuan cleaved the clone's right hand with a single punch, muttering to himself:
"Especially Zen Chan School."
Lü Yuan did not stop the other person from restoring his left hand; he simply stood there, recalling what he had found not long ago.
The Buddha Speaks -- Amitabha Buddha
A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, instructs in skills, and resolves doubts.
Time flies like an arrow, and the days slip by like a shuttle.
Life is short, so seize the day.
Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.
"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. I will choose their good points and follow them, and correct their bad points."
After several discussions with Punk Lü Yuan, they reached a consensus—
This founder of Chan School, who ascended to heaven during the prosperous era of the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, must have been a time traveler!
You just copied famous quotes from ancient and modern times, from both China and abroad, didn't you?
Han Yu and Confucius should ask you for copyright fees!
What, could this be a coincidence?
Lü Yuan had actually had this suspicion until he saw the later Sun Wukong and a short story in the Buddha Speaks's teachings.
[The Northern Patriarch said: "Is it not the mark of a gentleman to remain unperturbed when others do not understand him? Why is that?"]
[The Buddha said: Some people do not know my great name, yet I have not become angry. Is this not the mark of a gentleman?]
[The Southern Master said: Time flows on like this river, never ceasing day or night. Why is this so?]
[The Buddha said: Those who seek death are as numerous as this rushing river, coming to their deaths day and night.]
Although the book says this is just unofficial history and a joke, how could he not know what it means?!
What's even more outrageous is that this guy didn't even bother to hide it...
That's absolutely amazing!
This Amitabha Buddha is like a cultivation version of Roselle, or Sun Xiaochuan of the Ancient Cultivation Realm.
Lü Yuan had some doubts; could this Chan School still be a replica of the Buddhism he remembered?
Unfortunately, this person is probably not the mastermind behind everything he is seeing now.
Because he had asked Chen Sheng indirectly.
The answer they received was that this person had indeed ascended to heaven, and they had witnessed his passing.
Wow, is the teacher really that old?
Unfortunately, he was unwilling to discuss the governance of the [Purple Forbidden Enclosure] with me.
Lü Yuan interrupted the charging clone's hand once again, and with a casual punch, smashed its head open, then sighed softly.
Headache.
The mastermind behind it all, themselves, and Amitabha Buddha —there are at least three time travelers on their side.
What kind of auspicious place is the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Realm? Did the time travelers come here for team building?
Moreover, despite the magnitude of the situation, it didn't elicit a strong reaction from Lü Yuan.
After all, given the existence of the mastermind behind it all, he had anticipated this.
But seeing another situation in the book that was exactly the same as his own made him genuinely disappointed.
For the first time, I began to doubt my own talent.
Indeed, the book says that a "Child of Heaven and Earth and earth" born from the union of Fruit Position and position is not an isolated case.
And that one, possibly a fantasy version of the Monkey King created by Sun Xiaochuan from the Ancient Cultivation Realm of Amitabha Buddha, is one of them.
Recalling the account in the book, Lü Yuan truly found it hard to believe.
[Outside the Middle Earth Plains, atop Flower Fruit Mountain on the Aolai Immortal Island, lies a celestial stone formed from the harmonious union of the Five Luminaries.]
[The Immortal Stone finally took full shape during the later years of the reign of Purple Forbidden Enclosure, and a monkey emerged from it.]
[The monkey, favored by heaven and earth, is as noble as the Great Sage of ancient times, and is therefore revered by birds and beasts from all directions, and is called king.]
[But he did not stop because of this predicament.]
To escape the cycle of birth and death, and to break free from the shackles of worldly affairs, he traveled overseas and became the disciple of an unknown immortal.
[The immortal named the nameless monkey Sun Wukong-- ]
After three years of cultivation, Sun Wukong attained the Golden Core Fruit Position of enlightenment. Less than twenty years later, he ascended to the Dao Embryo and entered the mortal world.
[He first went to the Great Thunderclap Monastery to retrieve the Ruyi Jingu Bang) left by the Buddha, and then obtained the Buddha's armor from the four water gods...]
Okay, okay, that's enough. Saying any more will only make Lü Yuan depressed.
As the sun sets, I watch the restored clone across from me, ready to charge again.
Lü Yuan shrugged helplessly. "There's always someone better than you..."
As the Sun sank lower into the sky, another day of cultivation came to an end, and his time spent in Great Marsh Mountain was also drawing to a close.
Because...
Liu Bang is coming back soon.
