Seeking Immortals

Chapter 699: Go against the path and return to earth

 Li Qing is indeed ready to take the first step on the road to true immortality.

His Taoism is firm and he will achieve immortality without any trouble.

Li Qing once thought that there were living beings who had walked the road of "Tao Zunren". After all, the little fat man Jin Shui's road of respecting the Tao had reached its limit. However, the little fat man's talent was not ranked among the top ten in the entire era of cultivating immortals.

During the Dao-blocking tribulation when the Yin God built the Dao foundation, there were only seven mysterious creatures that prevented the little fat man from becoming a Dao, which was too few.

 After passing the Third Ancestor Pagoda, Li Qing knew that perhaps he was the only one who could achieve the true meaning of "Tao Zun Ren".

 The strong men in the early Yuan Dynasty sought mutual respect for humanity, and even Liu Sanbian may have shared respect for humanity.

“Congratulations to fellow Taoist Lin in advance.” Hong, Pan and Hao all congratulated.

Liu Tong said excitedly: "You were able to defeat me with your previous strength. Now that you have Pan Yuan Jia and Haoyue Sword to help you, I probably won't be able to survive more than three rounds in your hands, and I won't even have a chance to escape."

“Once you break through the True Immortal Road, your strength will be even more unimaginable. As long as the strength of the foreign land has not changed significantly in the past three thousand years, you may be able to kill it directly!”

  Li Qing shook his head: "Although I am sure of breaking through the True Immortal Path, it won't be that easy. Let's break through first."

 After some exchanges, Li Qing left the Immortal Relic Clan, found a hidden mountain wilderness, and began to retreat to the path of true immortality.

 After experiencing the memory changes and restorations in the Tao Pass, Li Qing has a clear understanding of the required Tao and clearly understands the extreme of the Tao.

 Later, he discussed with Hongtian. Although he lost, he saw himself more clearly.

 The way of Tao respecting people must be that people are stronger than Tao.

The ultimate form of Tao is when humanity and Tao respect each other. For the unity of humanity and Tao, people are Tao and Tao is people. The Tao respects people at the extreme level. Even if the Tao is abandoned, humans are still respected.

If he wants to find the ultimate goal of Tao, Li Qing must work **** "people are stronger than Tao". Chasing the road where people are stronger than Tao is to break the path of true immortality.

“Tao respects people. People are stronger than Tao. I am stronger than Tao. I must first completely control Tao...”

 Can Li Qing control Tao? It seems possible. Dao respects people. It seems that they naturally have this tendency. Dao is completely for their own use.

 A memory flashed through Li Qing’s mind, which was the time when he lost his memory and was wandering in the world of immortality.

Back then, he was injured by a long-ringing lantern. In order to restore his memory, Li Qing planned to get in touch with the knowledge of cultivating immortals. As a guard, he entered the Situ family to protect Situ Nan, the third son of the Situ family.

The Situ family wants Situ Nan to practice beauties, but Situ Nan is unwilling. The beauties want to quit beauties, but Situ Nan likes a woman named Zi'er and wants to become an immortal.

The two fathers and sons once had a great conflict. The head of the Situ family scolded Situ Nan for disrespecting his father and called him a rebellious son.

Situ Nan, as a son, naturally respects his father. He defended himself. Just because a son respects his father does not mean that the father can fully control his son's life.

This entangled father-son relationship had a huge impact on Li Qing, who was suffering from amnesia. It once helped him realize the Tao, and when he heard the sound of the Great Dao, he recalled many memories and told him not to be afraid of death.

Looking back at this experience now, Li Qing felt like he had a sudden realization.

“At that time, I had actually realized the principle of Tao Zunren breaking through the path to true immortality. However, due to amnesia, I could not integrate into my own body.”

 “The road is everywhere!”

The relationship between Li Qing and the nine great ways he cultivated is like the father-son relationship between the head of the Situ family and Situ Nan. Situ Nan respects his father, but does not want to be controlled by his father. He wants to follow his own path.

 Similarly, the Nine Ways of Respecting Li Qing does not mean that he is willing to be completely manipulated by Li Qing.

 Just because Tao respects people does not mean that living beings can control Tao.

 The relationship between father and son is very complicated. There are rebellious sons and submissive sons, and there are creatures who are naturally willing to be controlled by their father.

The same is true for Tao.

 …

 Yin and Yang, killing, life and death, good and evil, form, existence and non-existence, cause and effect, reality and reality, ancient and modern, the nine avenues were manifested by Li Qing.

Li Qing asked: "Those who respect me should be completely under my control, okay?"

The great road has spirit, and the five realms of yin and yang, form, existence and non-existence, good and evil, virtuality and reality are roaring, and they completely surrender to Li Qing.

"Killing, life and death, cause and effect, ancient and modern times, are you going to act against me, disrespect me, and rebel against me?" Li Qing said in a deep voice.

 The four paths wailed, saying bluntly that their respect for Li Qing would not change. Li Qing promised them to respect him for the rest of his life. They naturally respected Li Qing, but the four paths must be free and maintain their true self.

 It’s interesting. Killing, life and death, cause and effect, and ancient and modern are Li Qing’s four strongest paths. The stronger the path, the more rebellious he is, just like human beings.

Li Qing said leisurely: "Submit to me and be controlled by me, so that you can develop better. If I am strong, the Dao will be strong. If I live forever, the Dao will be invincible. If I am invincible, the Dao will be true."

 Li Qing seems to have played the role of the head of the Situ family, asking Dao Dao to obey for good reasons.

The rebellious Si Dao naturally couldn't listen to Li Qing's good words.

Li Qing’s eyes were wandering, and memories kept coming to his mind.

In the past, Situ Nan fled from the Situ family for the sake of freedom and love, and did not want to be dominated by the head of the Situ family. In the end, he was stopped by the head of the Situ family.

The head of the Situ family threatened Zi'er's life to force Situ Nan to accept his fate. Situ Nan finally gave in for love and was completely controlled by the Situ family, focusing on studying the book of beauties.

 Since then, Situ Nan has become a walking corpse, giving up personal emotions and only having red books in his heart.

If Situ Nan becomes a Hongyan Immortal by using the Hongyan Book, the result will be completely different.

“So, my step in breaking through the True Immortal Path should be to dominate the Dao! Dominate everything in the Dao!” Li Qing’s eyes were bright.

 He brought the relationship between the head of the Situ family and Situ Nan into the main road and thoroughly understood the law.

"I want the four realms to surrender to me and be dominated by me, or they can use their favorite things as a guide." Li Qing knew clearly.

Li Qing sat cross-legged and instantly dominated the obedient five paths of Yin and Yang. His dominant aura was strong, and he kept pressing on the disobedient four paths of killing, forcing the four paths to obey.

 Li Qing's whole body, the sound of the Tao rises loudly, this is the sound of going against the Tao, the four Tao are unwilling!

 “We are a whole body, working together to seek longevity, why not be dominated by me? Have you forgotten that I promised you to be honored for the rest of your life?”

 “How many lives does a person have to live?”

At the same time, Li Qing's worldly aura grew stronger, and he evolved into a world of mortals in his retreat place. Some of his experiences in the rolling world of mortals were vividly displayed.

 Once in his life, the protagonist was an oil seller and had an unforgettable love with a woman.

 The woman was the beauty of everyone, while the scholar was from a poor family. They had different social status, and they fell in love, but were stopped by the woman's family. The scholar died for his love, and then the woman also died for her love.

 In one life, the protagonist was an ordinary citizen, possessing divine power. He married early and had a daughter. At his wife's suggestion, he joined the army to serve the country, and later became a general.

 The emperor granted him a marriage, but the general resisted the order on the grounds that he had a wife and daughter at home, and was thrown into prison. He was later released, gave up all power, and returned to his hometown.

In one life, the protagonist was a young scholar who met a woman when he was young. They were childhood sweethearts, but their love was never revealed to anyone...

The worldly affairs of one life after another are unfolding, and they are all related to love. Words such as "Mountains have no edges and rivers are exhausted" and "Heaven and earth are harmonious, I dare to be separated from you" are constantly emerging.

 When he evolved into the world of mortals, Li Qing untied the four paths of killing, cause and effect, life and death, ancient and modern, and endowed him with higher spiritual wisdom using the methods of the mortal world.

 …

Spring passed and autumn came, three hundred years passed in a blink of an eye. The spiritual wisdom of the four paths grew. They were fed up with Li Qing's dominating aura. On this day when Li Qing was 'not paying attention', they separated into four strands of dao energy and quietly Sneaked out.

 The great road has entered the world.

In the world, there are four more creatures who don't know where to go. They are Li Yin, Li Lu, Li Sheng, and Li Gu. They call each other brothers and travel in the world of mortals.

"But I'm so greedy. I'm bound every day, but it's wonderful to be free. I've been watching Tao Zun evolve into the world of mortals. I feel like I've come to take a walk in the world of mortals. Three brothers, this time, we will never go back." Li Yindao, he said To identify the eldest, Li Lu is the second eldest, Li Sheng is the third eldest, and Li Gu is the fourth eldest.

Li Gu immediately responded: "It's good to enter the world of mortals. Tao Zun has had the experience of entering the world of mortals for thousands of years. I also want to experience it."

Li Sheng said: "Brother, you are good at cause and effect, and you can also forcefully determine fate. Please set a fate for each of your brothers."

Since Li had no reason to refuse, he took the three of them into the mortal world.

 Four brothers wandered in the world. Twenty years later, each of them had a target candidate.

Li Yin fell in love with a fishing girl, Li Lu fell in love with a female general, Li Sheng fell in love with a female medical officer, and Li Gu fell in love with a rich girl who liked to read history.

The four brothers have no background or cultivation, nor can they learn Dharma. They only have some special abilities. After Li Yin determined the fate of cause and effect, the four brothers and the woman they liked all met by chance and looked at each other.

The marriage between Li Yin and the fishing girl was the easiest. Li Yin followed his father-in-law to fish, and used the cause and effect to attract fish. The father-in-law returned home with a full load every time, and accepted Li Yin easily.

 Li Yin became the son-in-law.

 Female generals and female medical officers encountered some obstacles from family forces, but they themselves had certain strength and status. After some setbacks, they also came together with Li Lu and Li Sheng.

Li Gu is the most troublesome. The rich girl's family looks down on him and wants him to take the imperial examination.

 In the end, Li Gu studied hard for ten years, won the lottery, and got married when the rich girl was twenty-six years old.

  The four brothers each embraced their beauties and spent the happiest time in their lives. Due to their own special circumstances, they were unable to conceive offspring, but their respective wives did not care.

 But time is ruthless, and the passage of time makes people grow old. Forty years later, the fisherman girl, the female general, the female medical officer, and the rich girl all came to the end of their lives at the same time, and they were about to die.

 But the four brothers only have old faces and endless longevity.

 The time when the four brothers were born spiritually was short, but the years they spent were too long.

 “There are not enough years, don’t die, I can’t let you go.” Li Yin cried loudly while holding the old fishing girl.

"The road has spirit, but it should not have emotion. In less than a hundred years, you will see the life of your beloved expire with your own eyes, but the mortal world you want, the life you want is different." A word came from the void, and Li Qing appeared She was pregnant and standing in front of the fisherman's bed.

"Dao Zun..." Li Yin lost his voice and knelt down on the ground: "Please Dao Zun, please save her."

As he spoke, Li Yin's past emotions and wisdom quickly dissipated, turning into one sentence: "I would like to return to the Dao and be controlled by Tao Zun. Please save her..."

With that said, Li Yin disappeared and merged into Li Qing's method.

Li Qing remained calm and looked at the fisher girl, only to see the fisher girl scattering starlight on the sick bed, and the starlight turned into a half virtual and half real figure.

The virtual figure smiled and said: "Tao Zun, I lied about cause and effect, killing, life and death, ancient and modern, wouldn't it be bad?"

Everything is fading, and the mortal world is shattered. Before Li Yin returns to the Dao, Li Lu, Li Sheng, and Li Gu have already returned to the Dao ahead of schedule.
