I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.

Chapter 105 "Thank you for your hospitality. I'll treat you to roast goose next time we meet!"

"but--"

The old man paused, spit out a piece of chicken bone, and then tilted his head to look at Chen Yu, smiling and saying, "My friend, you and I do have a certain fate, and you do have some talent and opportunity on the road of practicing magic."

“Perhaps you can really make it through this Dharma cultivation inheritance.”

At this time, a full hour had passed since Chen Lu arrived at the beach.

at last!

Chen Lu saw an old man with white hair and beard who looked like an immortal walking towards him on the sea. With every step he took, there was a flash of golden light under his feet, as if the world was just around the corner.

In the blink of an eye.

He was already standing in front of Chen Lu with an expressionless face, and that familiar and ethereal voice sounded in his ears again.
-
"You have successfully passed the first level."
-
the strange thing is.

Although he could see the old man's mouth moving and his lip shape matched the sound in his ear, the sound was actually coming directly from deep within his brain, the same way the "Heavenly Edict" transmitted sound.

However, the voice lacked the sense of oppression that was in the Heavenly Edict.

Subsequently.

The old man ignored him and walked to the side, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and practiced his mental skills. Suddenly, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth turned into a tornado and drilled into the old man's body like water being sucked by a whale.

"Don't worry."

The old man who was eating roast chicken sitting nearby glanced at the sanctimonious old man who was absorbing spiritual energy not far away, grinning from ear to ear with a rather happy look: "This old man probably hasn't felt the feeling of spiritual energy depletion for a long time."

"It must be very strenuous for him to cross the forbidden sea with this body."

"Wait until he recovers his spiritual energy."

This old man, who represented the tradition of Dharma cultivation, recovered his spiritual energy very quickly. He only needed to circulate his mental method for a few breaths, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to respond to his call and rushed into his body in a rush.

It only takes a stick of incense.

The old man stood up and seemed to have recovered.

The fortune-teller sitting on the beach next to Chen Lu also stood up immediately and strode over with a joking look on his face. The old man also looked quite impatient and replied in a bad mood.

From the smiles that appeared from time to time, it can be seen that the two people must have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship with each other.

But he couldn't hear any sound and didn't know what the two were talking about.

"Let's go."

Finally, after the two talked for a while, the old man with white hair and beard walked up to Chen Lu and waved his hand. A golden light appeared under his feet and immediately took him back to the "Forbidden Sea".

Before leaving.

Chen Lu heard the voice of the fortune-teller behind him.

"Come on, my friend. I have a feeling that the next time we meet, you should have become the number one practitioner in Daxia!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

The old man's laughter was hearty and contained a hint of melancholy at parting.

He also turned around and looked at the old man, waved his hand and said loudly: "Thank you for your hospitality, I will treat you to roast goose next time we meet!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Another hour passed.

Chen Lu returned to the original position, standing on the sea. There was no island or any living creature around him. Only the gentle sea breeze mixed with moisture and saltiness brushed across his cheeks.

The old man next to him didn't look very good either.

He was quite familiar with this look.

This is the look of a man with very little spiritual energy left in his body. It seems that even if this old man is the gatekeeper of this Dharma cultivation inheritance, he is unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the forbidden sea. This is more like the rules of heaven and earth, rather than something that a gatekeeper can control.

For example, he clearly felt that he could also proceed to the second level on that beach.

But he had to be brought to this place to proceed to the second level.

He only saw this old man, whose face was a little pale but still expressionless and had a very sage-like demeanor, with his mouth slightly opening and closing, and the voice echoed deep in his mind.
-
"The second level is to break through the law."

"A qualified practitioner can remain calm and at ease even when facing numerous enemies."

"After a cup of tea, there will be 10,000 magic puppets with infinite spiritual energy, attacking you at the same time. The spells they cast are all the most basic simplified lightning spells, and will not cause any harm to you."

"You are strictly prohibited from using the Shrinking the Earth into an Inch method in this level."

"Conditions for passing the level: If you are hit less than 10,000 times within five hours, you will win the level."
-
"Dodge the attack?"

There was a flash of shock in Chen Lu's eyes. Ten thousand magic puppets with infinite spiritual energy attacked him at the same time. Not to mention that the number of hits in five hours was less than ten thousand times, but in this round it would be several thousand times.

If his physical skills were weaker, he would be eliminated in the blink of an eye.

He glanced around, and the immortal old man was no longer there. He didn't know where he had gone. He must have gone to find a place to recover his spiritual energy.
It took another cup of tea for the ten thousand magic puppets to appear.

He narrowed his eyes and thought about a countermeasure. His only physical skill, shrinking the earth into an inch, was directly banned from use. It didn't seem like there was a restriction on this level, but more like he was directly banned by the old man.

If this body technique can be used.

Relying on randomness, he might still have a certain chance of passing the level.

But without this skill, this place cannot recover the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he does not have any other skills produced by the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm in his storage ring. Although he can exit at this time and come back later.

But he was very worried that next time he came in, the old man would give him a ban on his Shrinking the Earth into an Inch skill at the first level.

It will be even more difficult then.

soon--

Chen Lu suddenly laughed, he thought of a way, although he didn't know if it would work, he just gave it a try. In a trance, he took out a middle-grade Heavenly Dao Retracing Method from his storage ring and crushed it.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The item that was abandoned when breaking through the sixth level of foundation building was selected again.
-
「Entry name」: Slippery.

"Entry Level": Green.

[Effect of the Item]: Every time you are attacked, you will automatically teleport to a random location within a ten-foot radius.
-
With this entry, it can barely be considered a physical skill.

Soon, a cup of tea passed, and the originally clear sea surface suddenly began to churn, and then ten thousand puppets emerged from the depths of the seabed, suspended in the air and surrounded him.

Without waiting for him to speak.

More than a thousand magic puppets attacked first almost in no particular order, and pointed their index fingers at him suddenly. Suddenly, thousands of miniature lightning snakes shot towards him. This was the first time that he felt the same feeling that his previous opponents had experienced.

"."

Chen Lu stood where he was, his eyes slightly narrowed as he stared directly at the thousands of lightning snakes that were shooting straight at him. He forcibly suppressed his subconscious urge to dodge and prepared to withstand these thousands of lightning snakes.

at the same time--

When these lightning snakes were about to hit him, he noticed that among the remaining magic puppets that had not yet taken action, more than a thousand magic puppets raised their hands and prepared to attack him. These magic puppets would not attack at the same time, but in a step-by-step manner.

Just as the first lightning snake hit him.

He felt a flash before his eyes, and when he regained his sight, he was already ten feet to the left. Chen Lu glanced at the second level task panel and immediately had an idea in his mind. He looked at the puppets not far away and chuckled.

"That's it?"

"Number of hits: 1/10000."

Just as he thought.

It is absolutely impossible for these magic puppets to attack at the same time. Even if they do, due to factors such as distance, the concave and convex parts of his body, the time when each lightning snake reaches him will not be exactly the same.

As long as his entry "Slippery Without Leaving" is judged fast enough.

Then he could completely disappear on the spot in a flash after only enduring the first attack of lightning snakes in the seemingly rain of lightning snakes. Now the answer is almost the same as he thought. If he continues like this, nothing unexpected will happen.

He should have no problem passing this second level easily.

Those magic puppets also flew to his side quickly at the first opportunity, and whether they were enraged or something, their attack frequency was more than twice as fast as before.

however--

Whenever a round of lightning snakes was about to cover Chen Lu, he would always be able to teleport away in the first possible moment.

then
On the vast sea, a rather strange scene appeared.

Ten thousand magic puppets continuously blasted out countless lightning snakes, constantly changing their positions around Chen Lu on the sea surface. Chen Lu could also teleport several times on the sea surface every breath, and he couldn't even see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Before he could regain his sight after teleporting, he teleported again.

And those magic puppets are becoming more and more violent, and their attack frequency has increased by more than five times.

Since I couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly, I simply gave up looking. There was nothing to do at the moment, so I just took a nap and had a rest.

that's it--

I do not know how long it has been.

He felt as if his body had lost the ability to teleport, so he opened his eyes dazedly, stepped on the beach and glanced around his head. Those magic puppets had fallen to the beach beside him without knowing when.
Hmm? Beach?

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses in an instant. He quickly glanced around and soon saw an old man behind him who was staring at him expressionlessly. He was holding a fishing rod in his arms with a black fortune-telling flag next to him.

Is this coming back again?

"."

Before he could say anything, the fortune-teller said expressionlessly, "Awake? You looked like you were sleeping soundly. Sit here and wait for a while. The old man is probably still on his way."

"If the old man is not mistaken, he should be in a bad mood now."

"Forehead"

Chen Yu looked a little embarrassed as he sat down next to the fortune-teller and asked carefully, "Is it tiring to cross the forbidden sea?"

"Well, otherwise he wouldn't have not seen me for thirty years."

"Wouldn't it be more tiring to cross it twice in one day?"

"What do you say?"

"Will he make things difficult for me?"

"Can't tell."

"."

Chen Lu didn't say anything else, but sat on the beach with a look of despair, gazing at the seashore. The five hours of the second level had already passed, and more than fourteen hours had passed since he entered the secret realm of inheritance.

It was almost midnight before he entered the secret realm of inheritance.

You can immediately collect the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill for the day.

Now more than fourteen hours have passed and two Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills have been distributed. At this time, those Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills are quietly waiting for him in the small world.

"that."

Chen Yu finally couldn't help but say, "These are 10,000 magic puppets, and the old man also disabled my body movement skill "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch". Without using the body movement skill, I can't think of any way to pass this level."

"."

The fortune-teller rolled his eyes at Chen Yu and said unhappily, "Originally I couldn't tell you this, but since you've already cleared the level, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"First of all, I can tell you clearly that the gatekeepers cannot deliberately target those who break through. So, on the one hand, I forbid you from using the Shrinking the Earth into an Inch Technique to save myself trouble, and on the other hand, it is actually a disguised reminder to you."

"Uh, remind me that this level doesn't actually require physical skills?"

"That's right, you're not stupid. Were there only a thousand of those magic puppets attacking you at the beginning?" "Yes."

"If you stand still and wait patiently for all the 10,000 magic puppets to attack, you will find that if you stand three steps to the left and then four steps back, you will be attacked the least number of times."

"Then you just need to stand there and wait patiently for five hours. You can pass the level successfully after being attacked more than nine thousand times at most."

"Didn't you notice that when you left your original position, those magic puppets started to become violent? This was actually a reminder for you to quickly return to your position. This is also the reason why the old man brought you back from afar to start the second level."

"The only way to pass the second level is to determine the wave attack method of the magic puppet in a short period of time and then find a safe spot."

The fortune-teller took a big sip of the wine from the cowhide bag and then muttered, "But now there is a second way."

"You are a bit like me back then."

Talking about the past, the fortune-teller smiled nostalgically and said, "After I inherited the formation training, my master was very happy, but when I knew how to pass the level, he got so angry that he picked up a whip and chased me for three blocks."

"At the fifth level of the formation cultivation inheritance, you were thrown into an extremely complicated formation."

"There are nine hundred and ninety-nine gates of death and only one gate of life."

"You must enter the vital gate in the shortest possible time to be considered successful. Even the most terrifying formation must have a vital gate. There are fifty great ways, forty-nine heavenly evolutions, and only one human escape."

"Normally speaking, if a formation cultivator wants to break the formation, he must first find a dead door, and then deduce it all the way. There are a total of 999 dead doors. How long do you think it will take to deduce them all?"

"I was only given three hours at the time."

"Guess how I succeeded?"

Then, before Chen Yu could speak, the fortune-teller laughed complacently: "I calculated with my fingers and directly figured out the location of the life gate. I passed the test in just one stick of incense. My master was so angry that he almost died."

"I've already said that I'm more suitable for Gua Xiu, but Master just doesn't believe me and insists that Gua Xiu is just a minor skill with no future."

"Great!"

Chen Yu set up the grill again with a serious look and began to prepare the roast goose. After preparing the wine, he asked again, "So all I can do now is wait?"

"if not."

finally--

An hour and a half later.

Sitting on the beach, Chen Lu finally saw the immortal-looking old man with a pale face and golden light under his feet, running quickly towards the beach across the forbidden sea. After landing on the beach, he said nothing and had almost no hesitation. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice his mental method to restore his spiritual energy.

The vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth once again turned into a tornado and poured into the old man's body.

"I don't dare to come here again."

The fortune-teller carefully whispered in Chen Yu's ear: "If you let my old brother cross the forbidden sea again, I guess I may never see him again in the future."

After a stick of incense.

The familiar voice sounded in his ears again.
-
"You have successfully passed the second level."
-
Then, just like last time, the old man waved his sleeves and took the puppet that fell on the beach into his sleeves. Then golden light appeared under Chen Lu's feet, and took him quickly to the depths of the forbidden sea.

"senior!"

Chen Yu turned around and looked at the fortune-teller who was still fishing on the beach and said loudly: "I'm leaving first. You can come and chat with me when you have a chance. I may have to go to the capital to participate in the Tianjiao Ranking next!"

"If you are interested, you can come and have a look!"

The fortune-teller on the beach waved his hand impatiently: "Go away now. I hope that next time I see you, you have really become the number one practitioner in Daxia. Oh, you forgot to take your barbecue grill with you."

"I'll leave it to you, senior. Roast yourself some chicken and be nice to yourself."

Another hour and a half passed.

The old man finally brought Chen Lu back to the familiar starting point of the Forbidden Sea. This time, the old man's face looked even paler, and he did not announce the content of the third level immediately.

Instead, he stood there and took a few deep breaths. His face flushed slightly before he looked at Chen Lu with an unpleasant expression.

"Little friend."

"Can you just go through this in peace and not run around?"

"OK."

Chen Lu had an embarrassed look on his face and his eyes were wandering. He didn't dare to look directly at the old man and nodded in response. This was the first time the old man spoke to him, and he didn't seem that fierce. It was really not that he wanted to run around.

The ability to shrink the ground to an inch and the ability to slip without stopping are his only two physical skills.

But these two methods
What a coincidence, it's all random.

He had no control over where it would land, and he himself didn't even know where he would go.

But under completely random circumstances, being able to run to the fortune-teller's formation-building continent beach twice was indeed a bit too coincidental.

Having said that——

The old man didn't say anything else, his mouth opened and closed slightly again, and the sound echoed directly in his mind.
-
"The third level, breaking through the enemy."

"A qualified practitioner of the Dharma should be invincible in the world."

"After a cup of tea, there will be 10,000 magic puppets with infinite spiritual energy, which will attack you at the same time. The spells they cast are all lightning spells. This level is life-threatening, and you can shout to quit at any time."

"Among these ten thousand magic puppets, there are one hundred traitor puppets."

"It is strictly forbidden to use the term 'Slippery Hands' in this level."

"Conditions for passing the level: Shoot down the one hundred traitor puppets within one hour."
-
Almost at the moment when the voice resounded in his mind, the old man beside him disappeared.

"."

Chen Lu narrowed his eyes and looked at the panel of the third level seriously. There were tricks to pass the first and second levels, such as diving to the island on the seabed or finding a safe spot.

Even the conditions that seem absolutely impossible to pass actually require some skill.

Although I don’t know what kind of ability a practitioner has to test in order to dive into the seabed and find a safe spot.

But since the assessment is like this, there must be a reason for it.

It's just the third level
Among the ten thousand magic puppets, one hundred traitor puppets were shot down. The lightning-inducing spell performed by these ten thousand magic puppets was not a simplified version, but a real attack. If it fell on a person, it would be a bit painful.

In this situation, finding the one hundred traitor puppets quickly seems impossible no matter how you look at it.

While he was thinking, a cup of tea had passed, but the ten thousand puppets did not emerge from the bottom of the sea.

Just as he was looking around in confusion, a voice came to his ears.

"Wait a minute, the puppet broke on the beach, I'll fix it."

"."

Just like this, after about three incense sticks of time, the sea water finally boiled again like last time. Ten thousand patched up magic puppets, emitting terrifying power, flew in the air, surrounding Chen Lu in the middle, looking down on Chen Lu like heavenly soldiers looking down on an ant.

This posture alone is enough to scare countless people.

Then, these magic puppets, without any hesitation, all held their Dao formulas and looked at Chen Chu with cold faces, preparing to wave their hands. It was predictable that in a moment, tens of thousands of lightning snakes would cover Chen Chu!

however--

The one who is faster than them is Chen Lu!
Almost as soon as these magic puppets went out to sea, the Heavenly Dao Foundation in Chen Lu's body began to rotate rapidly, and all the spiritual energy in his body began to surge in his meridians at several times the speed of daily days.

Until the moment when these magic puppets were suspended in the air, Chen Lu, whose face had already flushed red, held the long sword in his hand and roared ferociously above his head.

"break!!!"

Next breath!
Before those magic puppets had the chance to take action.

"Thunder-inducing Technique"!
"Nine Poisons Soul Technique"!
"Double Casting"!
"Tenfold Spellcasting"!
"The power of concentration"!
"Charming aura"!
The terrifying cultivation level of the sixth level of foundation building was released without any concealment, and the Heavenly Dao foundation in his body began to rotate rapidly. Although it could not absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it could make the spiritual energy flow out as quickly as possible!

A full-strength attack without holding back.

This was the plan he came up with, to use all means to destroy all the ten thousand puppets. In this way, no matter where the one hundred traitor puppets were hiding, they would definitely be destroyed!

The fastest way to kill the gangster hiding among the hostages is to go all in!
Under the "double spell casting" and "tenfold spell casting", more than four thousand great perfection lightning spells that were enhanced by the "power of concentration" and "forceful aura" transformed into thousands of thunder dragons in the air, roaring and rushing towards the ten thousand magic puppets in the sky!
The posture was as if he was about to break out of the cage and see the light of day again.

Compared to this "Thunder Inducing Spell", the tens of thousands of "Thunder Inducing Spells" that the magic puppets had just used were like children playing house, and were completely of a different size.

One is the thunder loach and the other is the thunder dragon.

There is a world of difference in the level of crushing!
However, these thousands of thunder dragons did not end, but were just a simple starting move, with the roar of the thunder dragons.

Tens of thousands of green demonic fires appeared around Chen Lu, like the reflection of a sky full of stars in the sea, carrying a toxic and eerie aura. Chen Lu stuffed all the resentful spirits he had collected during this period, except for the resentful spirit in the early Jindan stage, into these demonic fires!
Suddenly——

These evil fires seemed to have their own spirits. Their power grew stronger, and the entire sea was resounding with the painful howls of the wicked spirits in Hell, mixed with the roars of the thunder dragons, one bright and one dark.

This is Chen Lu’s most powerful attack method at present, without using any trump cards such as the self-destruct entry, the Jindan ghost, and the Fiery Seven Killing Formation that can kill a Jindan fifth-level cultivator!
With just this one strike, all the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted. If this strike didn't work, he would have no choice but to activate his trump card, the Golden Core Ghost.

but.
He felt as if he had underestimated himself a little. He had always thought that he was still a small ant in the world of cultivating immortals. Now it seemed that he was not that weak.

Those thousands of thunder dragons and the demonic fire in the sky enveloped the magic cultivator puppet almost instantly.

Followed by.

It was those ten thousand magic puppets that exploded simultaneously in the air, filling the sky with orange-red fireworks.

Very nice.

After a few breaths, the fluctuations of spiritual energy on the sea surface gradually stopped. Chen Lu took out dozens of spirit stones from his arms and quickly restored the spiritual energy in his body. Countless wreckages of magic puppets were floating on the surrounding sea surface.

A lot of the wreckage was still burning and emitting black smoke.

"call"

Chen Lu let out a long sigh. It seemed that he had cleared the level. Moreover, everything was normal this time. He did not run to the formation repair continent. There should be no problem this time. He must have cleared the level in the normal way.

at this time--

The old man with a sage-like appearance appeared beside him again. His face did not look so pale anymore. It should be that his spiritual energy has almost recovered. But now he stood in mid-air, looking at the countless puppet wreckages on the sea without any sadness or joy, and did not speak for a long time.

This look made Chen Yu feel a little nervous, and he asked tentatively: "Senior?"

After a long time.

The old man said calmly, "Isn't it the rule to destroy a hundred traitor puppets? Did the other puppets provoke you?"

"Well, that disciple was a little stupid. He couldn't tell which were the traitor puppets. And because of his low strength, he couldn't withstand the simultaneous attack of all the puppets of Wanfa Xiu. So he could only strike first."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Chen Yu seemed to see the old man's eyelids twitching.

"."

The old man was silent for a long time again, and then he said expressionlessly: "Your strength doesn't seem low."

"Is it so difficult to distinguish? Only the lightning spell of the traitor puppet can cause damage to you. The lightning spells of other puppets are illusions. You just need to carefully sense them when you are attacked, and you can tell which ones are the traitor puppets."

"Is this difficult?"

"You should at least give the puppet a chance to attack you, right?"

"You shouldn't come to practice Dharma inheritance, you should go to practice physical inheritance."

"Forehead"

Chen Yu was a little embarrassed and said, "Disciple is not good at physical cultivation."

The old man tilted his head to glance at Chen Yu, his lips trembling slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He waved his sleeves and put all the remains of the magic puppets into the storage ring.

That’s good. I don’t need to repair it this time, and there’s no way to repair it.

Immediately afterwards——

The familiar voice once again emerged in the depths of Chen Yu's mind.
