Chapter 196 Steamer World (Two in One)

Chapter 196 Steamer World (Two in One)

The expansion of the Immortal Shadow was noticed by people a million years ago.

It is unknown who first discovered it, because there is no relevant record.

It is just that the expansion of the Immortal Shadow was extremely slow at the beginning, so slow that it was difficult to detect, and so slow that the few people who noticed it could hardly feel a sense of crisis.

It is like someone told Li Xiuchang in his previous life that the earth would be destroyed in another 5 billion years.

He would only say "Oh" and curse in his heart: What the hell does it have to do with me!

It was not until someone else discovered that the expansion speed of the Immortal Shadow was also steadily increasing, that some responsible righteous cultivators paid attention to it.

Because this seemingly slow expansion speed, once accumulated, will be very alarming, like a snowball. If it continues to develop at this trend, sooner or later the expansion speed of the Immortal Shadow will be so fast that people will not have time to react.

It is not far-fetched for the Immortal Shadow to cover the entire world of cultivation.

Wait until everyone can see the crisis before trying to find a way to deal with it, I am afraid that everything will be too late.

The top leaders of the major righteous forces are all knowledgeable people, not short-sighted people. The expansion of the Immortal Shade Realm has been a headache for the top righteous cultivators for millions of years.

They have been trying to find a way to solve this hidden danger, and many people have even paid their lives for it.

But there are still generations of predecessors who have never given up the exploration of the Immortal Shade, and it is still the same today.

After listening to Brother Lu Yang's introduction, Li Xiuchang fell into a brief silence.

I admire the feats of generations of righteous predecessors who risked their lives to explore the Immortal Shade just to bless future generations.

It turns out that the seemingly peaceful world of cultivation is always shrouded in the crisis of world destruction.

Once the Immortal Shade covers the entire world of cultivation, it will really become the end of the world, and the number of people who can survive will definitely be very small.

The surviving cultivators should be like the survivors in the doomsday novels, carefully go out to find resources, and avoid the various great horrors in the Immortal Shade like avoiding zombies.

Li Xiuchang asked: "After one million years of hard work, have the seniors made any discoveries in Xianyin?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "The major righteous forces are learning more and more about Xianyin, but there is no clue yet about how to stop the expansion of Xianyin. Of course, it cannot be said that the exploration of one million years is worthless. If there are any discoveries in the future, they will be based on the experience accumulated over one million years."

Li Xiuchang admired it in his heart, but it was indeed not something he could worry about at present. With his cultivation strength, he could not even contribute a little.

He was more inclined to think that if the sky fell, there would be tall people to support it.

When he becomes a big man in the Tribulation Crossing Stage or even the Mahayana Stage in the future, he would help if he could, but it was too early to say these things now.

Xianyin would not be able to expand to the entire Xiuxian world in a thousand or a hundred years. Maybe he would not see that day until he ascended to the upper realm.

Senior Brother Lu Yang continued, "But after a million years of hard work, there was no result. Now many top masters of the four major sects have given up looking for answers in the Immortal Shade, and want to find other solutions."

"What method?"

Li Xiuchang couldn't think of any other solution.

If you want to stop the expansion of the Immortal Shade, it is obvious that you can only find opportunities in the Immortal Shade, or at least figure out what the Immortal Shade is.

But sometimes even if you know the answer, you may not be able to change anything, because human power is limited.

In the previous life, if humans were facing the imminent destruction of the sun, what could they do?

Humans cannot stop the coming of the doomsday, and the only thing they can do is to vigorously develop technology, try to leave the earth, and find a new habitat.

So where can the people of the Immortal Shade world run to?

When Li Xiuchang thought of this, he heard Senior Brother Lu Yang answer: "Someone is trying to find a way to other worlds, and wants to use other worlds as a retreat."

"Are there other worlds?"

Senior Brother Lu Yang nodded affirmatively and said with certainty: "Yes!"

"This world is far more wonderful than you think. I may take you to see it if I have the chance."

Li Xiuchang couldn't help but widen his eyes. Seeing Senior Brother Lu Yang's tone, it seemed that he had been to other worlds.

This exchange with Senior Brother Lu Yang today directly overturned Li Xiuchang's cognition of the Xianyin Realm.

"Senior Brother, have you seen the scenery of other worlds?" He asked with some expectation.

Senior Brother Lu Yang paused, did not answer this question, but looked out the door, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he said, "Come back tomorrow. I have something to do today."

Li Xiuchang saw that Senior Brother Lu Yang seemed to have some concerns, so he didn't ask any more questions. However, before leaving, he reminded him casually:

"I heard that Senior Brother Chu Ya plans to ask the Chu family's ancestors to capture the mysterious man who attacked him."

Senior Brother Lu Yang nodded to indicate that he already knew, and said, "Come early tomorrow, and bring some materials for brewing wine."

Li Xiuchang nodded and said goodbye to Senior Brother Lu Yang.

Back to his residence, Li Xiuchang was still repeatedly recalling the content of his communication with Senior Brother Lu Yang.

He couldn't help but wonder if the neighboring senior brothers gathered in Xianchen Sect to make some efforts to solve the crisis of Xianyin.

It is currently known that the purpose of the senior brothers gathering in Xianchen Sect is related to Xianyin.

Although he couldn't figure out what the relationship between Xianyin and Xianchen Sect could be.

"If it is to solve the crisis of Xianyin, senior brothers don't have to hide their identities, right? After all, this is something that the four major immortal sects will cooperate with."

Li Xiuchang felt that through today's communication with Senior Brother Lu Yang, he had taken a big step towards the truth, but many new questions had arisen.

I just hope to go to Senior Brother Lu Yang tomorrow to get some answers.

"It would be great if Senior Brother Gui was here. If I ask him, he will definitely tell me everything."

...

What Li Xiuchang didn't know was that as soon as he left, several people gathered in Lu Yang's house.

Zhang Wanzhi, Chen Changsheng, and Mo Tu all came.

Chen Changsheng said directly: "It's too early to tell him this now. You've said too much."

Mo Tu also nodded: "You can wait."

Seeing the three people surrounding him like they were asking for punishment, Lu Yang just smiled gently. He was not good at and didn't like arguing with people.

Lu Yang took out a jar of wine and poured a glass for each of the three people. He knew that the three people were asking for punishment as a by-product, and they were mainly here to drink wine.

At this moment, a cute girl in a yellow dress walked in. She was very aggressive and aggressive, like an old hen protecting her cubs:

"You three are bullying my husband while I'm away, right? My husband has his own plans for what he says and does. You still want to question him after thousands of years of friendship?"

Zhang Wanzhi cried out in injustice: "This is none of my business. I think I have to tell Xiu Chang sooner or later. It doesn't make much difference whether I tell him earlier or later. I just came here to have a drink."

Mo Tu lowered his head and drank without saying a word.

Chen Changsheng showed his spirit of Gou Dao and took the initiative to give in. He smiled and said: "We just came here to discuss it. How can we say bullying? Fairy Xia came at the right time. Just discuss it together."

Xia Sijun sat at the table carelessly, complaining: "This outfit is so suffocating."

As she waved her hand, even her face and clothes changed. She looked much more mature. She no longer had the childishness of a girl, but was replaced by the charm of a mature woman.

The yellow dress on her body turned into a bright red dress, and the whole person was like a blooming rose.

Compared with her previous girlish appearance, Xia Sijun's current dress is more elegant and her charm has increased several times.

Every time Zhang Wanzhi and the other two saw Xia Sijun like this, they would have the same feeling in their hearts: the cook is so lucky!

But Xia Sijun half-nestled in Lu Yang's arms without any hesitation, and Lu Yang also hugged her waist lovingly.

Zhang Wanzhi and the other two were fed a mouthful of dog food without any preparation, and secretly cursed "dog bitch" in their hearts, and looked away one after another.

Chen Changsheng coughed: "Fellow Daoists, let's discuss whether to tell Li Xiuchang about the information about other worlds?"

Zhang Wanzhi looked up at the ceiling, just because he didn't want to see the intimate couple in front of him, and said: "Hasn't the cook told Xiuchang? He also said that he would take him to see it. If you don't have time, I will take him."

Motu didn't say much, just a few words: "Too early."

Xia Sijun's eyes widened, and he said impatiently: "What is there to discuss? Since you all said that he will be needed to break the deadlock in the future, then many things will have to be told to him sooner or later? Now only a small part of it is revealed, and you are worried about this and that.

"Speaking of which, you have known him longer than me. I have only met him once, and I am not worried. You are a group of grown men and you are still fussy!"

Chen Changsheng shook his head: "It's not that we don't trust Xiuchang, but after all, his cultivation is still shallow. It's not good for him to know some things too early."

Speaking of this, Xia Sijun suddenly wondered: "What is his cultivation?"

"I don't know. "Zhang Wanzhi and the other two shook their heads.

"You don't know his specific cultivation level? Then why do you think his cultivation level is still shallow?"

Zhang Wanzhi explained: "The cultivation method that Xiuchang is currently practicing was created by the three of us. We only gave him the cultivation methods for the foundation-building period and the golden elixir period before. He has not asked us for the cultivation methods for the Nascent Soul period until now, so he must not have reached the Nascent Soul period."

Chen Changsheng also analyzed: "It hasn't been a few years. He has only been practicing for less than five years. He should still be in the Golden Core period. However, he once killed a Nascent Soul demon cultivator under the siege of more than ten Golden Cores and two Nascent Souls, and forced another Nascent Soul demon cultivator to escape. So his combat power should have reached the Nascent Soul level."

Hearing this, Lu Yang and Xia Sijun were both shocked.

Among the people present, they knew the least about Li Xiuchang.

In less than five years, Jindan cultivation, Nascent Soul combat power, and a record of killing Nascent Soul demon cultivators... What a monster!

"How many elixirs did you guys feed him? "Xia Sijun said suspiciously.

It's true that Li Xiuchang's growth rate is too amazing, faster than that of demon cultivators.

Zhang Wanzhi shook his head and said, "You may not believe it. Although we have provided him with a lot of help, in terms of cultivation, it depends more on Xiuchang's own efforts."

Chen Changsheng also confirmed, "We just gave him some secret techniques and guided him in various skills, but we can't practice for him."

Lu Yang said softly, "Since he is practicing so fast, we should tell him some things earlier so that he can be mentally prepared earlier. You always want to wait for him to grow up and tell him everything. Maybe he will grow up in a blink of an eye. When you tell him a lot at once, he may not be able to accept it.

"And even if we don't say it, he has started to investigate by himself now. It's better for us to be open and honest with each other than finding any clues by ourselves, so that we can build more trust."

"What my husband-in-law said makes sense." Xia Sijun unconditionally supported her husband-in-law, "Li Xiuchang can have Nascent Soul level combat power. In fact, he is not weak anymore. In some worlds below, he is already a top powerhouse. He can definitely take him to the lower world. have a look."

Several people discussed it for a while and finally came to an agreement.

"I'll come and talk to him tomorrow. I'll tell him what I can tell him first. We'll talk about who will take him to the lower world later," Lu Yang said.

Chen Changsheng said: "You two have just returned from another world. I definitely can't let you go."

Zhang Wanzhi said, "Leave it to me. I just want to go out and walk around."

"You? I'm not worried." Chen Changsheng said directly.

"Then let Lao Mo go with me." Zhang Wanzhi was not angry and poked Mo Tu beside him with his elbow.

"Okay." Motu agreed expressionlessly.

Xia Sijun hugged her husband's arm like a koala and asked lazily: "You all say that Li Xiuchang is the key to breaking the game. How did he break the game?"

"You have to ask Gui Duba about this, but it's a pity that he's not here." Zhang Wanzhi shrugged.

Lu Yang said warmly: "Since it was said by fellow Taoist Gui, it shouldn't be false, and there is no need to repeatedly verify it."

"My husband is right. Although Gui Da Zui is unreliable, his fortune-telling has not yet made any mistakes. His absence means that he is not needed for the time being. When he is needed, he will naturally appear."

You two are really a couple... Chen Changsheng changed the subject and said, "What did the two fellow Taoists gain from going to another world this time?"

"This time it was really dangerous. I almost couldn't find my way back..."

…

Li Xiuchang went to visit Senior Brother Lu Yang early the next morning with some expectations.

"Senior brother, these are the brewing ingredients I just bought this morning."

Li Xiuchang took out a pile of miscellaneous raw materials and put them on the table.

Senior Brother Lu Yang nodded slightly, walked to the table, and suddenly asked: "Xiuchang, how much do you know about this world? In other words, what do you think the world is like?"

Li Xiuchang thought for a while and realized that the world of Immortal Yin was different from the world he lived in in his previous life. It was not a planet. He replied:

"The entire Immortal Shadow World is probably a bowl of soup, and the continent under our feet is a piece of cake floating on the soup."

Senior Brother Lu Yang couldn't help but smile: "The answer is very suitable for our identity as a spiritual chef. It is very interesting."

Having said this, he picked up an ear of wheat from the brewing materials brought by Li Xiuchang, and then let go, and the ear of wheat floated in the air.

"Suppose, this ear of wheat is the Immortal Shadow Realm we are in."

Then, he picked up another ear of wheat and placed it on top of the ear of wheat that symbolized the Immortal Shadow Realm.

"The ear of wheat above represents the upper realm to which we ascend after becoming immortals."

"This constitutes the world that most of us monks know. We think that there are only two realms in this world."

"But I told you yesterday that there are actually other worlds."

Lu Yang casually grabbed a few wheat ears, threw them under the wheat ears that symbolized the Immortal Yin Realm, and divided them into several rows.

"Actually, there are several layers of worlds below us."

Li Xiuchang tried hard to digest this information and asked in surprise: "So, we are also the upper realms of other worlds?"

"Yes, in fact, occasionally there will be some ascendants from the lower world who ascend to the Immortal Shadow Realm, but most of them are controlled by the four major immortal sects. Occasionally, some who are lucky enough to escape do not dare to reveal their identities as ascendants."

Li Xiuchang hesitated and asked: "Are those ascended beings immortals?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "From our perspective, their cultivation level should be in the early stage of Hedao."

Lu Yang's words once again subverted Li Xiuchang's understanding.

In Li Xiuchang's impression, ascension is an extremely glorious thing, the result of hundreds of thousands of years of practice. It is like studying hard for more than ten years in Hanchuang, and being named on the gold list is a reward for the hard work in the past years.

But the ascension that Senior Brother Lu Yang said now doesn't seem to be the case.

Ascending up is actually nothing more than changing to a different world, and you may also be caught and studied by the "locals".

Moreover, the so-called ascended ones did not become immortals, but only reached the stage of union.

Of course, this does not mean that the Hedao stage is weak. It is just that compared to monks in the Void Refining stage and the Divine Transformation stage, there is no insurmountable qualitative change between immortals and monks, and there is no "distance between immortals and mortals".

But for the ascended person in the lower realm, at the moment of ascending, he must have thought that he had become an immortal, right?

Li Xiuchang couldn't help but wonder, if one day he ascends to immortality, will he really become an immortal?

Is it possible that what he thought became an immortal was just a state similar to the "Hedao stage" in the eyes of people in the upper world?

Li Xiuchang swallowed hard, thought of something, and asked hesitantly: "Then our upper realm will also treat us like this, treating us as aliens who have ascended from the lower realm. Also, since we have many lower realms, are we Isn’t there also more than one upper bound?”

"You're right." Lu Yang said after careful consideration, "In the words of our cooks, the whole world should be like a steamer layer by layer. Each layer of steamer has several worlds, layer by layer from top to bottom. Arranged, we are only on one level, but neither the top nor the bottom.”

"The monks in each steamer world are trying their best to ascend to a higher steamer world, but what is the world of the steamer above? Will they welcome ascendants from the lower world? These are all unknown."

"As I said, each layer of the steamer has more than one world, and the situation in each world is different. Some are prosperous, some are dilapidated, some are friendly, and some are dangerous."

"Of course, it is not easy to travel between these worlds. Generally speaking, the easiest way is to go to the upper world. As long as the cultivation reaches the peak, you can go to the upper world by ascending."

"But if you want to go to the lower world, it will be more troublesome. You need to find a passage to the lower world, but we happen to know a few places."
