Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 820 The Enemy of the Enemy

One hundred and fifty-eight

Within the Taixu Daoist Temple.

Li Rui lowered his eyes and looked at the white jade bridge beneath his feet. He was now standing on the latter half of the Gan Yue Bridge.

Only forty-two steps away from the upper dojo.

The Taixu Daoist Temple has a strict hierarchy.

It is divided into lower dojo and upper dojo.

Those below the level of immortals are all in the lower Dao field, which is where Li Rui was before, while immortals are all in the upper Dao field.

However, his cultivation level was too low before, so he could only catch a glimpse of it from afar.

Only after becoming a True Lord can one truly qualify to cross the bridge.

In ancient times, even Daoist masters would come here to seek opportunities. According to the fragments recorded in the Hongwen Pavilion, almost all those who could cross this bridge became immortals.

Although the world has changed, as long as we can reach the other side, it is certain that we will receive the inheritance of the immortals.

After taking 158 steps, Li Rui knew he had reached his limit.

This time.

He didn't suffer from insomnia; instead, he voluntarily retreated to the bridgehead.

This is called self-awareness.

Because they were clear about their own abilities and the situation at Gan Yue Bridge, they were able to choose to withdraw.

They had just returned to the entrance of the cave of the Daoist Wanshou.

Then I saw the figure of a young Confucian scholar.

"Brother Zhong."

Li Rui cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhong Li.

"Brother Changqing."

Zhongli also bowed.

When Li Rui was promoted to True Lord, he came to Taihua Prefecture to congratulate him and stayed for a full month before leaving. It had been quite a long time since the two had last met.

Zhong Li: "The amount of illusory immortal stones required to advance to the Integration stage and enter the Taixu Dojo each time is too much. I'm afraid the opportunities to meet Brother Changqing will become fewer and fewer in the future."

"Yes."

Li Rui sighed.

Not everyone can freely enter and leave the Taixu Dojo like him.

Why did he almost never see the Daoist Lord during his hundreds of years at the Taixu Daoist Temple?

It's not that Daojun couldn't find a way to enter.

Rather, it was because the threshold for Dao Lords to enter the Taixu Daoist Temple was too high, to the point that almost no Dao Lords in the world could enter.

The True Lord is already the limit.

Zhongli: "Brother Changqing, I've heard there's been some unusual activity in the North Sea, seemingly related to the origins of immortality. Would you be interested in going to take a look?"

"My foundation is still shallow, so I won't go."

Li Rui shook his head.

Zhong Li smiled and said, "Me too. Even if I obtained the origin of immortality, I still don't have the corresponding Dao fruit to nourish it."

Unlike Ji Fan, Ye Yuan, and others.

Like Li Rui, Zhong Li is an extremely rare cultivator who achieved the status of a True Monarch in one lifetime.

Even after Danqingzi of the Sanqing Sect was confirmed as the reincarnation of the Dao Lord not long ago, Zhongli was actually the true number one in the Earthly Register.

It has enormous potential.

For this reason, Shenlu Academy also values ​​him highly.

He has even become the vice president of Shenlu Academy.

Very high status.

Therefore, Li Rui still values ​​this friendship very much.

Upon hearing Zhong Li mention Beihai, Li Rui's heart stirred slightly.

He had known this for a long time, and Ji Fan and Ye Yuan had already gone to the North Sea. Now it seemed that they had probably already opened the Immortal Tomb, but he didn't know if they had obtained the Immortal Origin.

The two chatted for a while.

Zhongli: "Brother Changqing, I want to walk across the Moon-Catching Bridge once, would you like to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli also planned to cross the Gan Yue Bridge.

Li Rui didn't hide anything: "Brother Zhong, I just retreated from the bridge."

"Oh?"

Zhongli immediately became interested. Li Rui then recounted all of his experiences on the White Jade Bridge to Zhongli.

The two are not competitors, as the two have inherited countless lineages. On the contrary, if Zhongli can cross the White Jade Bridge, his experience will be of great use to him.

At last.

Li Rui stood at the bridgehead, watching Zhong Li disappear when he took the 103rd step.

He then awoke from the Taixu Daoist temple.

Seven days passed.

A powerful aura appeared on Mount Taiheng.

Li Rui's divine sense had already detected that figure, so he immediately got up and flew out of the courtyard, standing opposite that person in the air.

"Fellow Daoist Qian Yuan, it's been a long time."

The one who appeared above Mount Taiheng was none other than the ancestor of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty, the True Lord Qianyuan.

Qian Yuan Zhenjun looked at Li Rui.

This renowned newly appointed Daoist Master possessed a profound aura, even showing signs of being in harmony with the Dao.

With a start, he slowly spoke: "Fellow Daoist Changqing, I have come to help the Yu Kingdom solidify its position as a first-class immortal dynasty."

Li Rui raised an eyebrow: "Fellow Daoist Qian Yuan, you are so righteous?"

Qian Yuan Zhenjun's expression remained unchanged.

He could tell from Li Rui's tone that he didn't believe he would be so kind.

"As you know, my Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty's lineage was severed in the hands of that old thief, Fen Xin. I will do anything that is detrimental to the Fen Xin Immortal Dynasty."

"To be honest, I have supported several demonic sects that are causing trouble around the Burning Heart Immortal Dynasty."

"I have another piece of news for you, fellow Daoist. True Monarch Zhuohu of the Wanfa Hall is currently in Burning Heart City. If you are besieged by the two of them, you may not be in good shape."

"Why don't we join forces and launch a counterattack against the two of them?"

He was confident that since he had said all that and asked for no reward, Li Rui would definitely agree.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Rui remained unmoved.
"Fellow Daoist Qian Yuan is very kind, but there is no need for you to worry about the affairs of my Yu Kingdom."

Seeing Li Rui like this.

Qian Yuan Zhenjun became anxious and had to relent: "Alright, to be honest, my Dao roots are in Taihua Prefecture. If I don't return to Taihua Prefecture, I will have no chance to attain the Dao in this life. Given the current situation in Taihua Prefecture, only your Great Yu Immortal Dynasty has the possibility of returning to Taihua Prefecture."

"I see."

Li Rui touched his chin.

He had heard about this matter.

The True Lords of the Celestial Dynasty are often located in advantageous geographical locations and have extremely close ties with the Celestial Dynasty.

The closer one gets to the Dao Lord, the more crucial cause and effect become.

Therefore, True Lord Qian Yuan must regain control of Qian Yuan City before he will have the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

He did not agree immediately, but secretly circulated the immortal source within his body to deduce.

After receiving the definite result, he smiled and said, "I naturally believe in you, fellow Daoist. If we join forces, we will surely achieve great things. If one day the Great Yu returns to Taihua Prefecture, Qianyuan City will definitely be returned to you, fellow Daoist."

Qian Yuan Zhenjun also laughed heartily: "Indeed."

But a hint of apprehension flashed deep within his smiling eyes.

Just now, he sensed that someone was spying on the causal threads within him.

If it weren't for the special nature of his Dao, no one would have been able to detect it.

Obviously.

It was this Evergreen True Lord who used some kind of means to see cause and effect.

He already possessed such abilities upon first entering the True Lord realm.

'No wonder he survived Daojun's schemes.'

Well known.

The reason why this Changqing Zhenjun, who came from a small grotto-heaven, was able to get to this point is because he is good at hiding and scheming.

'Unless absolutely necessary, you must not offend this person.'

Qian Yuan Zhenjun thought to himself.

After all, who can be sure that the bottom they see is the real bottom?
Just like.

Everyone thought that this Evergreen True Lord had two certificates, but he actually had three certificates?

The best way to deal with this kind of person is to ensure that both parties share the same interests.

Qian Yuan Zhenjun was very fortunate about this.
