Chapter 978 Eight Immortals

The Eight Immortals of Taoism.

In terms of their status in Taoist mythology, these figures may not be the most powerful, but in terms of popularity, the Eight Immortals are undoubtedly the most well-known group in human legends. Within the vast sea of myths and legends, countless Celestial Sovereigns and Great Emperors are scattered like dust, known only to a few.

Yet, the names of the Eight Immortals—Lü Dongbin, Zhang Guolao, Han Zhongli, Tie Guaili—are exceptionally famous.

Especially these four, whose names carry more weight in Taoist legends than the other four.

Pure Yang Lü Zu.

And Tie Guaili, who was enlightened by Taishang Laojun.

Wei Yuan's heart stirred slightly as he recalled that Zhongli Mei and Lü Chunyang seemed to have been enlightened by him. Wei Yuan rubbed his forehead, recalling the events of that time. He had descended upon himself in the Tang Dynasty with a wisp of Yuanshi Tianzun's true spirit, and then comprehended the sword of abandoning the Dao. However, because of this sword, Wei Yuan's true spirit remained in the Tang Dynasty.

It was the chaotic currents of cause and effect created by enlightening the Eight Immortals that forcefully bounced Wei Yuan himself back.

And it only relied on enlightening Lü Chunyang and Zhongli Mei.

No, not just that...

Wei Yuan rubbed his forehead.

Recalling the events of that time, when Lü Chunyang was still a child, and Han Zhongli had already been reincarnated and grown up, he remembered that he was afraid that the Eight Immortals' karma would not be enough, so he told Zhongli Mei about all kinds of great talents in the human world that he saw during his divine wanderings.

Including He Erniang under Mount Luofu.

Lü Dongbin, who was given the name Chunyang in his youth because of the experience of a certain wicked Taoist ancestor.

And—

Wei Yuan recalled what he had said to Zhongli Mei at the time—

‘When I came, I saw an old man in Xingzhou Guangzong riding a donkey backward, you can take a look...’

Well, at that time, in order to successfully send the true spirit of the Yuanshi Tianzun level back to the normal timeline.

Museum Director Wei also unceremoniously split Fuxi's innate Bagua authority into eight parts, transformed them into eight cultivation methods, and told them all to Zhongli Mei. Each of the eight held a volume of the cultivation method, which was enough to cultivate to a considerable level. When the eight were combined, they could even return to the innate from the acquired, and briefly reproduce the symbolic supreme divine power of the Taishang Daode Tianzun, who had no morals.

Adding these one by one.

At that time, Wei Yuan directly overcame the sequelae of abandoning the sword dao fruit and returned to modern times after passing on the cultivation methods.

Calculating it this way.

If Han Zhongli and Lü Dongbin really diligently found all the Eight Immortals and gathered them together.

And the power of the scum snake was cultivated through the formation method.

The accumulated cause and effect was indeed enough.

Wei Yuan's expression was strange, so this time's opportunity was left to me by myself?

Past me, it's rare that you actually did something right.

Wei Yuan ridiculed his past self.

Lü Dongbin is known as the Patriarch of Pure Yang, the Pure Yang True Man, and Zhang Guolao, the realm of cultivation he finally reached, also has standard descriptions in other Taoist scriptures. Wei Yuan still remembers that the Taoist scripture recorded was "Yu Hua Emperor Zhang Zu Bao Gao", and the final record of his legend was [Bestowing the Bright Court, Crowning the Dipper of Wine, Great Compassion, Great Vow, Great Sage, Great Mercy.]

This person's personality is completely different from the flavor of the traditional Eight Immortals story, "Journey to the East".

[Crowning the Dipper of Wine]

His hair stands on end in anger, with the spirit of a young man, and he also likes to drink.

Wei Yuan always felt that the sense of familiarity with this kind of personality was extremely strong.

Isn't this a wandering knight?

Yes, really, the personality is almost exactly the same as that of Old Man Zhang. Are all the Taoist masters of this temper?

And the final record is his realm—

The Emperor Master of Zhongtiao Grotto-heaven, the Tongxuan Yingbian Celestial Sovereign.

Known as the Jade Flower Emperor.

"...Zhang Guolao's final realm has actually reached this step?"

"Even if the past Taoist scriptures have several patriarchs with this title for the Emperor position, each sect has a few patriarchs with this title, the saying that the white bat spirit was born at the beginning of chaos is certainly unbelievable, but since it is included in the New Book of Tang, and the "Biography of Zhang Guo" in the New Book of Tang, then at least he was a person of the Tang Dynasty, and Cao Guojiu was of the Song Dynasty."

"If Han Zhongli really transformed all the Eight Immortals, and cultivated for hundreds of years from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, plus the Emperor and Celestial Sovereign, these superimposed together, I am afraid that he has also cultivated to the peak of the human world, a realm where there is nothing more to cultivate."

"Zhang Guolao, the image of the Zhen wood, ranks in the due east."

Wei Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "...It would be great if Zhang Daoyou, you transformed into him."

The power body cultivated with five hundred years of cultivation.

Plus the comprehension and foundation of the strongest thunder method cultivator in the history of Taoism.

"Then the combination of the two, I am afraid that he can truly be called the Emperor Master of Zhongtiao Grotto-heaven, the Tongxuan Yingbian Celestial Sovereign."

However, how could this be possible?

Wei Yuan just shook his head. At this moment, through this recollection and contemplation, he finally found the root, found the origin of the Eight Immortals' opportunity, just like the past self had unintentionally planted a fruit tree, and now after thousands of years, it finally began to sprout, branch, and grow.

Could it be said that it was a thousand years ago that he disassembled the innate Bagua of the current 'Daode Tianzun' power and handed it over to the Eight Immortals.

And after a long millennium, the Eight Immortals return, returning to the innate from the acquired, and the eight join forces to reproduce the innate Bagua for a moment.

To achieve the legal body of one's own existence?

Wei Yuan pondered, discovering a certain possibility.

In any case, the scum snake is now the Daode Tianzun.

Although, this Daode Tianzun does not represent the morals of many practitioners, but represents the morals of the soles of the feet.

Wei Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly understood what the opportunity represented in the Kunlun Mirror was.

The last and weakest of the Eight Immortals, Cao Guojiu, was a person of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he refined the fake and returned to the real, so that the illusory scene in the Kunlun Mirror merged with normal history, then that is to say that he also has an anchor point in the Great Song Dynasty, can enlighten Cao Guojiu in advance, and even possibly meet the Eight Immortals of that era!

Cao Guojiu is the last member of the Eight Immortals!

Then that is to say that when Cao Guojiu is here, the Eight Immortals are complete!

And the anchor point of the Kunlun Mirror is precisely the road for Wei Yuan to see all the Eight Immortals!

Wei Yuan's heart suddenly became clear. At this moment, he divided Yuanshi and Lingbao in the Lingtai with the shape of Mount Buzhou. He can finally slowly control his body. His fingers moved, and then the Kunlun Mirror fell under the gaze of the Tongtian Daoist and the leader of the Heavenly Demon, and then hung in front of Wei Yuan.

Layers of flowing light rippled, with profound mysteries.

……………………

At the same time.

The foundation of the Turbid World had already rapidly and decisively approached the position of the Heavenly Demon.

Even, he brought enough Turbid World powerhouses, almost a large army pressing down on the border. This Turbid World's loyal and powerful powerhouse, the strongest first echelon of the Dao Fruit realm, undoubtedly planned to directly flatten the Heavenly Demon Realm, and also leave behind the severely injured Yuanshi Tianzun and the Hun Tian body.

With his strength, the Hun Tian body is not his opponent.

And the Yuanshi Tianzun, who is good at attacking, seems to be seriously injured.

Isn't this a godsend opportunity!

Although he did not know why, the Great Lord gave up the plan to attack Yuanshi Tianzun, but the foundation of the Turbid World never gave up.

Although he is famous for his strength and defense, his strength is strong, and his speed cannot be too slow. He far甩开 the Turbid World powerhouses behind him, and went straight to the realm where the Heavenly Demon is, but he was unable to directly rush into it in one breath, because another force that had already been suppressed, but was still extremely majestic, like wolf smoke, rose up, and could not be ignored at all.

'Is it Yuanshi Tianzun's reinforcements?'

The foundation of the Turbid World pondered, and then made a decision, directly heading towards that direction and killing him, with a chilling aura.

In another direction, a youth dressed in Confucian attire, with a long sword at his waist, was divining something.

While divining, he muttered to himself: "Strange, according to the position, the opportunity is here."

"Why have I been turning around for so long, and haven't seen anything?"

"Shouldn't be, shouldn't be."

"It's not everywhere, could it be that this time's opportunity has actually fallen into the Heavenly Demon's Land? Hiss... this place is extremely dangerous, the task of figuring out the situation of the Heavenly Demon's Land has been hanging in the entire Guixu for thousands of years, from the initial rush, to everyone ignoring it now, I don't know how many people have been lost."

"It can be said that 30% of the Guixu overlord's confidants have been lost here."

"Even the madman Baihu is unwilling to go in again, what opportunities can there be inside, I'm afraid I calculated it wrong."

"I'm not Senior Brother Yuan and Senior Brother Zilu, I don't know anything about the Yi of the Six Arts."

"I'm at least the third to last, I've learned a little bit in these thousands of years... Calculate again, calculate again!"

Qilin murmured to himself, trying to calculate the trigram again, but just glanced at it, a look of joy appeared on his face, and before he could speak, he only felt a burst of stinging pain in his eyebrows, his footsteps stopped, he raised his head, and then saw that the entire sky was pressing down on him, Qilin's handsome and洒脱 face trembled, and he subconsciously cursed: "Damn it!!!"

"You're actually chasing me like this?!"

The foundation of the Turbid World walked over calmly.

He tore down a whole piece of the Turbid World's sky!

Then, without hesitation, he slammed it down hard towards the youth who exuded an aura of about the first echelon level under the Dao Fruit realm. If he was hit, even the first echelon under the Dao Fruit realm would die on the spot. Mount Buzhou can support the sky and prop up the earth, and the strongman in the Turbid World, the foundation of the Turbid World corresponding to Mount Buzhou, can naturally do similar things.

Qilin's face trembled, he released his restraints, and his power body burned violently.

He let out a long roar, and the true body of the Qilin appeared behind him, forcibly breaking through this fierce move like the collapse of heaven and earth!

But with this one blow, Qilin staggered back, clutching his chest and kneeling on the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

With just one move, the four spirits of the Clear World, the strongest of the Guixu forces besides the overlord, who can correspond to the Ye Ming Jinwu of the Great Wilderness, and the Xuan Nu of Kunlun, was directly severely injured. He raised his head and saw the man walking over expressionlessly in front of him. Even if he did such an outrageous thing as tearing off a piece of the sky to smash people, his aura was still as deep as a prison, and immeasurable!

"The foundation of the Turbid World..."

Qilin gritted his teeth, and his words carried a bloody taste.

The foundation of the Turbid World looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Qilin?"

"Ha, you recognize me?"

The foundation of the Turbid World nodded, and said lightly: "The list of the strongest first-echelon powerhouses under the Dao Fruit realm of the Clear World, are all in my heart. Your strength could have been listed among the strongest batch under the Dao Fruit realm, but unfortunately you have degenerated, and your strength is only considered to be at the middle level, stronger than the Northern Emperor, but weaker than Ye Ming."

"Although your foundation is not considered extremely strong, its foundation is extremely deep and thick."

"But it is just thick, but it has also lost its purity. Simply stacking the amount, but without the realm of the foundation to use this huge power, like a three-year-old child wielding a ten-thousand-jun heavy hammer, not only can't do it, but will only hurt himself, a pity."

The tone of the foundation of the Turbid World was calm, and he raised his hand.

The [Sky] of the Turbid World has fallen in the battle with Emperor Jun.

Therefore, as long as the strength is strong enough, you can tear and pull a piece of the sky down like him in an unreasonable manner, and smash it down to attack. And this time, the Qilin, whose foundation aura is extremely majestic, but does not have the corresponding realm, is bound to die.

Qilin looked at this scene and smiled bitterly.

Isn't it the Qian trigram, nine-five, flying dragon in the sky, beneficial to see the great man?

Logically speaking, you should be able to see the noble person.

How did he encounter such a killing god?

He smiled bitterly and sighed, and the foundation of the Turbid World had already turned around, planning to chase and kill Yuanshi Tianzun, ignoring the Qilin who was bound to die, when he suddenly heard Qilin say: "Sorry, I need your help, teacher..." and an old man's helpless sigh.

Huh?!

The footsteps of the foundation of the Turbid World stopped.

A loud noise, the sky that smashed down fiercely, suddenly stopped its original movement.

The air wave soared!

A hand supported the sky.

Then, the aura on Qilin's body changed dramatically in an instant, suddenly restrained, and all was controlled.
