Chapter 139 Asking for Heavenly Beings

At this moment, Lu Jin was floating in mid-air, having completely transformed into Qi and broken through to the third level of the Reverse Life Realm. His body was shrouded in pale golden Qi flames, and his whole person was as crystal clear as glass.

His once snow-white beard now gleamed with a faint golden light, and his face looked decades younger, as if he had returned to his prime, resplendent like a god or immortal.

Then, the pale gold color slowly faded, leaving only a pure white.

"Do not reveal it, keep it within your body, and you will prosper after receiving my teachings." Master Qingxuan murmured involuntarily upon seeing this scene.

Han Yun used a bit of elixir energy as a guide to enlighten Lu Jin, enabling him to condense a elixir energy as a means of energy transformation.

Now that Lu Jin has broken through the third level of the Reverse Life Triple Realm, his true qi has been transformed into dan qi, so Han Yun's little bit of golden dan qi is no longer useful.

This is what is meant by: Difficult, difficult, difficult, the Tao is most mysterious, do not take the golden elixir lightly, without encountering a sage to impart the secret, empty words will only leave your mouth weary and your tongue dry.

The difference is just a thin layer of paper, yet this layer has remained unbroken for thousands of years.

The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and achieve harmony through the interaction of these two forces.

The Trinity Gate begins with one, ascends step by step to the heavens, and then returns to one.

In Han Yun's view, whether it is Qi transformation or the physical entity itself, they are just different manifestations of the same thing.

Qi is the root of heaven and earth. If everything in the world is composed of Qi, then the human body is one of the states of "all things" formed from Qi.

The Reverse Rebirth Triple Path is actually a process of reversing the natural order of all things returning to oneness. In the end, it is still about pursuing the Great Dao!
Whether it's ascension to immortality or eternal life, these are merely byproducts of the pursuit of the Dao. If one truly takes these as the goal of the pursuit, then one loses the original intention of pursuing the Dao.

Han Yun saw things clearly and was unwilling to do it!

However, Lu Jin now possesses the ability to travel a thousand miles in an instant, much like the Purple Sun Immortal. This is a natural ability he mastered after reversing his innate nature, making him a true Yang God.

After experiencing it for a while, Lu Jin gave a wry smile.

It's true that the triple rebirth method can't reach the heavens!

Even after the triple penalty, there's still a way out.

Can he be considered to have ascended to immortality now?
No, in the end, he was just a mortal with supernatural powers. Fortunately, Lu Jin had no obsession with the so-called ascension to immortality.

What he truly cared about was proving his master, the Great Ying Immortal, and the long-held ideals of the San Yi Sect.

However, it seems that this was wrong.

Lu Jin solidified his body again, transforming into the appearance of the centenarian, and thanked Han Yun in a dazed state.

"Elder Lu, there's no need to be too disappointed. If you can't become an immortal, why not become a celestial being? I'll tentatively name your form 'celestial being,' what do you think?" Han Yun comforted him.

In Taoism, "Heavenly Man" specifically refers to a practitioner who understands the origin of the universe and achieves resonance between body and mind and nature. As Zhuangzi said, "Heavenly Man" means not deviating from the Tao, emphasizing the state of being in harmony with the Tao.

Han Yun's description is quite apt.

Upon hearing this, the dim light in Lu Jin's eyes gradually returned. Looking at his hands, which had reformed, he suddenly sighed, "A celestial being, truly a celestial being!"

"From now on, the Trinity Sect will seek only the ascension to immortality!"

"Young friend Han has been kind to me in helping me achieve enlightenment. I don't know how to thank you enough. Here's what we have: take whatever the Lu family has, and I won't say a word!"

After hearing Lu Jin's heartfelt words, Han Yun smiled slightly and said, "Elder Lu, you flatter me. I do have two requests, and I hope you will grant them."

Lu Jin laughed heartily: "Speak freely!"

"Firstly, I would like to borrow the 'Triple Rebirth' from the San Yi Sect for a reading," Han Yun said with clear eyes. "Secondly, I would like to ask Elder Lu to teach me the method of the 'Tongtian Lu'."

Upon hearing this, both Lu Jin and Master Qingxuan were startled. One of these techniques was the supreme martial art of the Sanyi Sect, and the other was one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills; both were closely guarded secrets. Moreover, the fact that the Tongtian Talisman was in Lu Jin's possession was completely unknown to anyone else, and Lu Jin had never revealed it to outsiders. So how did Han Yun know?

Lu Jin didn't dwell on these matters, but instead asked, "Young friend Han, with your current cultivation level and realm, you probably wouldn't even consider the Tongtian Talisman, would you?"

Han Yun smiled and said, "Once you understand one method, you will understand all methods. I'm just learning from it. Besides, I've never learned how to draw talismans before; I'm just interested."

Lu Jin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, since young friend Han has spoken, how could I be stingy?"

"I'll bring it over shortly!"

After Lu Jin left, Han Yun, having obtained two cultivation manuals, bid farewell to Master Qingxuan and inquired about the whereabouts of the Louguan Daoist.

However, Master Qingxuan shook his head repeatedly when asked about the whereabouts of Louguan Dao, saying that he did not know its specific existence.

Even most people believed that the Louguan sect was nearly extinct.

Han Yun had no choice but to go and search for it himself. The most important thing about traveling is the process, not the destination. It's best to just go with the flow.

If you haven't met them, it means you're not meant to be.

This shows Han Yun's magnanimous nature.

Bitian Cave Ancestral Temple.

This is Han Yun's second stop in Zhongnan Mountain.

The reason for choosing this location is that it was once the place where Han Xiangzi, one of the Eight Immortals, cultivated himself into an immortal, and it was also a place where the Eight Immortals often gathered and performed together.

Its "Languan Precious Scroll" has been passed down to this day, and Bitian Cave has thus become the only temple in the whole of China that preserves the spiritual bones of immortals.

Can a place containing the spiritual bones of immortals be simple?

Bitian Cave is actually a natural karst cave, containing strange sights such as the Thunder Altar Screen Wall and the Cloud Seal Heavenly Book. Inside the cave, there are temples that enshrine statues of the Eight Immortals, including Han Xiangzi.

The environment inside the cave is very humid and hot, even in the cool spring.

Not far into the cave, one can see a middle-aged man, bare-chested and somewhat disheveled, sitting on a bench by the temple entrance, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan while drinking and eating meat.

Han Yun stepped forward and asked, "Is this the Ancestral Temple?"

The middle-aged man glanced up at Han Yun, then pointed at him with his palm-leaf fan and said, "Young man, are your eyes just for venting your anger? Can't you see such a big signboard?"

After saying that, he took another swig of wine and pointed his greasy finger at the stone plaque carved on the cave wall above.

Han Yun looked up and saw the three ancient seal characters "Zushi Temple" faintly visible among the moss.

He wasn't annoyed; instead, he smiled and said, "I was mistaken. May I ask how this Taoist priest is addressed?"

"Taoist priest?"

The middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter, wiping his mouth with his greasy sleeve. "I'm just a drunkard who guards the gate, how dare I call myself a Taoist priest!"

"But what are you doing here at the Azure Sky Cave?"

Han Yun pointed to the temple gate and said, "I have come here specifically to pay homage to the remains of Han Xiangzi."

The middle-aged man curled his lip: "What's so interesting about a bone?"
