Fengque’s words left me a little confused. How could a silver leaf fruit turn her into an immortal
Even if the Silver Leaf Fruit is a magical fruit, it may not be so powerful.
I sensed it and found that Fengque's cultivation was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. How could he be considered an immortal? This was what puzzled me.
With a puzzled look on my face, I asked, "But your cultivation level is not high, not even as high as mine. How can you be considered an immortal?"
Feng Que covered his mouth, chuckled, and explained: "Brother Yang, you are really surprised by what you have never seen. In fact, immortals don't necessarily have high cultivation. In the upper realm, some immortals are even worse than me. In fact, it mainly depends on whether you have immortal bones. If you have immortal bones and master the primordial energy, you can be considered an immortal."
I see.
"So you said I became half immortal, what do you mean by that?"
Feng Que curled his lips and said, "Brother Yang, I've already told you that as long as you have immortal bones and master the Hongmeng Qi, you can be considered an immortal. You have already mastered the Hongmeng Qi, so you are half an immortal, and what you lack is the immortal bones. Before, my immortal bones had never been opened, but I was just short of the opportunity. Not long ago, I swallowed the silver leaf fruit, and then I opened the immortal bones."
If Fengque's statement is true, then doesn't it mean that the beasts in this land of compassion, whether it is the Qilin clan under the seat of the Immortal Lord Zhulong, or the wild beasts under the seat of the Immortal Lord Longyuan, are all considered half-immortals, no, immortal beasts.
I nodded, and I understood in my heart.
Feng Que continued, "However, although the ghosts and ghost immortals in Wangu Mountain have mastered the special method of absorbing the energy of Hongmeng, they are not even half immortals. They are even less likely to possess the immortal bones of immortals."
Just like that, Fengque and I started chatting in Jiuying's cave.
What we didn’t know was that shortly after I fell unconscious and was brought to the Nine Infants Cave by the mysterious senior and the Taotie beast, a pitch-black figure appeared at the place where I had previously triggered the thunder tribulation.
Seen from a distance, the figure seemed like a real entity, with the aura of primordial chaos surrounding his entire body, as if he were an immortal.
But when you get closer, you will find that the person is actually a ghost.
There was a lot of ghost energy mixed in with the Hongmeng Qi, and his eyes were also a pair of ghost pupils.
This person's face was very cold and his eyes were deep, as if there was a will-o'-the-wisp hidden inside.
The long black cape hung down on his back, making his figure look particularly strange. There were ghost patterns on his hands, which turned them into black claws.
This person is the ruler of Wangu Mountain, the Immortal Lord as those ghosts call him.
"Did you just experience a thunderstorm? So, someone from the outside world entered Wangu Mountain and killed the blood ghost. It seems that their strength is quite strong!"
Ghost Lord muttered indifferently, with a chill in his voice.
After a moment, his ghost pupils flashed green light, like the eyes of a wild beast, and began to look around.
Those ghost eyes have a strong penetrating power, giving people a soul-stirring feeling.
Within half an incense stick of time, the Ghost Lord's eyes were fixed in the direction of a Nine Infants Cave.
He muttered, "So there they are. An outsider, a weak immortal, a spirit, and another... Hey, I can't even see through that guy. It seems he has a big background. Well, in that case, I want to see you.
How can you leave my Wangu Mountain?"
After saying this, black air surged from Ghost Lord's body. The black air wrapped around his soul and flew quickly towards the Nine Infants Cave.
There was an afterimage left in the sky, as if a breeze had passed by.
But in the blink of an eye, the breeze disappeared and the dark shadow disappeared.
Fengque and I had a very pleasant chat. She was very talkative, but I could also sense that because she had an immortal bone, she still had that immortal pride in her bones.
"Since you have become an immortal, why don't you leave here and return to the upper realm?" I asked.
Feng Que had a bitter look on his face, and said helplessly: "I really want to go back to the upper realm, my people are in the upper realm. The upper realm also has the best cultivation resources. If I can go back, I will definitely be able to continue to strengthen my bloodline and completely transform into a fairy beast, the Phoenix."
"But, Brother Yang, you can see that my current cultivation is still very weak. Only when my cultivation reaches the Mahayana stage can I open the immortal gate and enter the upper realm by myself. Otherwise, I can't leave."
"There is a strong spatial barrier between the upper and lower realms. If I don't break through my cultivation, I will never be able to go back in my lifetime."
I said a few words to comfort Fengque and encouraged her to keep working hard.
Fengque chuckled.
When she smiles, she is very charming and pretty. Although Xiaoli is my girlfriend, I won't blame her for looking at other women. After all, there are so many women in this world, and many of them are beautiful. They all like to dress up, just to show off to others.
Seeing me staring at her, Fengque blushed and turned away, saying unhappily, "Brother Yang, why are you always looking at me?"
I was really mesmerized because what I was seeing was a fairy, a beautiful fairy at that.
I couldn't have imagined this before.
I subconsciously said, "Because you are beautiful."
But after I said this, I realized that I had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly corrected myself by saying, "No, no, no, Miss Fengque, that's not what I meant. Don't get me wrong, I really think you're very pretty."
Feng Que's pretty face turned even redder, and she said shyly, "Brother Yang, you're making fun of me again. I won't pay attention to you anymore."
The phoenix showed her pretty appearance, which really caught me off guard.
I smiled and thought of the ancient Bodhi tree, so I asked, "Miss Fengque, my cultivation has recovered, and I have mastered the Hongmeng Qi. My strength has increased a lot. I wonder when we will go to find the ancient Bodhi tree."
Feng Que nodded and said, "Since you and that senior have limited time to enter this place, let's go as soon as possible. We can set off now."
I was delighted: "Okay, it's decided. Let's go now."
Then, I stood up from the ground, and the mysterious senior, the Taotie beast, and the tower spirit also returned.
I found that they actually held a lot of magical herbs in their hands. The gluttonous beast was eating them voraciously, smacking its lips from time to time, and it was so delicious.
"Master, you're awake, that's great. You may not know, but there are a lot of magical herbs near the Nine Infants Cave. The wild beasts and ghosts here are afraid of the Nine Infants' strength, so they dare not approach this place. It's just a good opportunity for us."
The spirit of the tower spirit is also constantly absorbing the essence of the fairy grass, making its spirit body more solid.
Based on the principle of "whoever sees it gets a share", I forcibly took all the magical herbs collected by the tower spirit and the Taotie beast for myself.
The Taotie beast looked unhappy and wanted to take it back.
go.
But when they saw me glaring at it, both he and Ta Ling became quiet.
"Let's go, Brother Yang. The ancient Bodhi tree is on the shore of the 'Water Moon Cold Pond'. We can go there to look for it. I remember when I first went there, I found that there were still quite a few fruits of rebirth on the ancient Bodhi tree."
Unexpectedly, the ancient Bodhi tree was about to be obtained.
Fengque added: "However, the ancient Bodhi tree is what you call it in the lower world. According to our immortal world's name, the ancient Bodhi tree should be called the Paradise Tree, and the fruit of rebirth should be called the Paradise Fruit."
"Why is the name so strange? Could it be that the fruit of bliss can allow people to be reborn in bliss?"
Feng Que replied, "That's not the case. It is certain that the Bliss Fruit can extend one's lifespan for a thousand years. But the Bliss Fruit has another effect, which is to open up the 'Heavenly Heart' of living beings. Once the 'Heavenly Heart' is opened, it becomes quite easy to practice Taoism."
What Fengque refers to as the mind’s clue is actually spiritual intelligence.
As for the Heavenly Dao Heart Insight, it must mean to bring spiritual intelligence to a peak level.
Let me put it this way, when you read a book, it is difficult to read one line of words in one minute, but if you open the "Heavenly Heart Acupoint", it is not difficult to read a book in one minute.
It doesn’t matter whether the ancient Bodhi tree is called the Paradise Tree, as long as it can increase lifespan, it’s fine.
At this time, the mysterious senior asked Fengque: "Miss Fengque, is there no danger in the 'Water Moon Cold Pond' you mentioned? If there is no danger, why don't you pick the Paradise Fruit?"
That’s what I wanted to ask as well.
Our eyes were all focused on the phoenix.
Fengque thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is indeed danger over there at Shuiyuehantan. But the danger is not great. There is just a barrier light film protecting Shuiyuehantan. If we can break that light film, we can enter safely. In this way, obtaining the Paradise Fruit will not be a problem."
"So, Miss Fengque, you haven't found a way to break the barrier light film, right?"
The mysterious senior asked cautiously.
Fengque nodded: "That's right."
For a moment, the cave became quiet.
I felt a little disappointed. If we spent so much effort to come to Wangu Mountain in the Land of Compassion to look for the ancient Bodhi tree, and found it but couldn't get it, that would be tragic.
After a moment of silence, I said, "Let's go over and take a look. Perhaps we can think of a way to break the barrier. Besides, Miss Fengque's strength was not as strong as it is now. But if we work together now, we may be able to easily break the barrier light film."
Fengque looked at me and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
No one else had any objections.
After a few brief words, we walked out of Jiuying's cave and followed Miss Fengque to the place called Shuiyue Hantan.
What we didn’t know was that everything we said in the Jiuying Cave had been heard by the Ghost Lord.
The Ghost Lord followed me quietly, just like a ghost.
"I didn't expect it to be the legendary fruit of bliss. Haha, if I can get the fruit of bliss, wouldn't it be possible to open up my own 'Heavenly Heart'? Then, I can take over the body of that outsider and regain my strength as before."
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Ghost Lord’s face.
There was confidence and determination in the ghost's pupils. His willpower to seize the fruit of bliss was very strong.
