"I will definitely keep the Immortal Lord's teachings in mind!"
Lin Xu knelt upright and looked at himself, filled with joy. The changes were not only in appearance, but more importantly, from now on he was no longer bound, freed from the manifestation of magic tools, and qualified to follow the path of immortality. Like many cultivators, he might be able to ascend to become an immortal in the future.
This is the most important thing. From now on, he will be the first to achieve enlightenment among all the magic weapons and instruments. If he can transform into a human form with the body of the magic instrument and finally ascend to become an immortal, he can be called the ancestor of this lineage.
"I have already thought about the path I will take in the future. Although Lin Xu was not able to become the Immortal Lord's disciple, I will definitely not bring disgrace upon the Immortal Lord's name!"
Fengdu Immortal Lord glanced at him and said, "Oh? Tell me about it!"
"Lin Xu is going to open a side sect overseas and pass down the secret of the Immortal Bone True Form that I have realized. My body is formed by the gathering of thousands of bones. After being instilled with the complete law truth by the Immortal Lord, it was finally transformed into an embryo of an immortal weapon, which gave rise to the Lin Xu of today."
"This Immortal Bone True Form Technique is about refining one's own bones. As long as one finds enough spiritual objects and divine objects, one can transform one's entire skeleton into immortal bones. Without any support, one can directly attain immortality."
"Although it is not an orthodox method of immortality, it can be considered a side-door method of attaining enlightenment."
The Fengdu Taoist suddenly laughed out loud: "In the future, your disciples will be extremely dangerous. If others are short of any magic tools, they can capture your disciples and directly refine them into magic tools without even having to nurture or sacrifice them."
Lin Xu's method is not bad, and it can be called a Taoist method that leads to the true path of the great Dao. However, to put it bluntly, this method is to refine oneself into a magic weapon, and then directly transform into a human-shaped immortal weapon to ascend to heaven.
This is consistent with Lin Xu's background and experience. However, if this kind of magic formula fails in a fight and falls into the hands of bad guys, they can easily refine the person into a magic weapon, which saves all the materials and skills.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more powerful the magic weapon will be.
Lin Xu himself is a fairy ship, and there are few people in the world who have higher Taoist powers than him, so naturally no one dares to take advantage of him. But it is different for others who practice this magic. By then, I am afraid that countless people will target Lin Xu's disciples.
Lin Xu laughed bitterly: "That's why it can only be called a side door. However, Lin Xu will find a way to perfect the method before establishing a new sect!"
"Now that conflicts are about to arise in the four seas, Lin Xu estimates that once the lord of the four seas is chosen, peace will be restored and the country will enter a period of prosperity."
"I plan to name the sect Hanhai Sect, connecting the four continents and the overseas immortal mountains, opening up the closed continents and overseas immortal mountains, and the method of refining treasure ships. I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can compare with me except the Immortal King. The Immortal Bone True Form Jue requires a lot of various spiritual objects and immortal materials, which can be collected through this method."
Fengdu nodded: "Doesn't that mean that even the Maritime Customs Office of Youdu Fairy Island will no longer be needed?"
Lin Xu immediately said, "Lin Xu and the shipmaster of Youdu have already agreed that I will be in charge of the shipping lanes from now on, and the Maritime Customs will only be responsible for the docks of Youdu and the inspection of the monks, gods, demons, and various treasures entering and leaving."
"This way, we can save a lot of effort. The shipmaster doesn't have to travel around all the time and can concentrate on practicing in the fairy island."
Fengdu then understood why the shipmaster was willing to let go. It was not only because the immortal ship had taken shape, but also because even if the immortal ship was gone, there would be someone to inherit his duties.
Lin Xu also no longer needed to transform himself into a large ship to travel back and forth to Youdu, but handed over this responsibility to the Hanhai Sect, and his disciples would be responsible for the entrances and exits of Youdu in the future.
At this time, Lin Xu suddenly stretched out his hand, and an ancient bronze lamp appeared in his hand: "I came here for one thing. This is the bronze lamp that the Immortal Lord used to cross the Netherworld Sea. Lin Xu came here to return it to the Immortal Lord."
"Nowadays, to enter and exit the Netherworld Fairy Island, you can pass through the Netherworld Sea with the token of the Maritime Customs. This bronze lamp is no longer necessary, so leave it here with the Fairy King!"
Fang Xiu took a look at this simple bronze lamp with ancient patterns, and suddenly many memories emerged. In the past, he was sailing on a lonely boat and got this item from the first female monarch of the Mermaid Kingdom.
At that time, he was holding this bronze lamp and took Qingyang and Zhu Liu with him, crossing the edge of the Sea of the Underworld and the Sea of the Human World and arrived at Youdu.
Later, I hung this solitary lamp on the fairy ship and never took it down again. Suddenly, I realized that nearly two thousand years had passed.
Two thousand years, if placed in the modern world, is from the Western Han Dynasty to modern times, the original Mountain and Sea Realm was just an illusory and hazy place. There were no four continents in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm, only one South Continent, and the East Continent was still in the process of evolution and rebirth.
“So that’s what it is.”
Fang Xiu took the bronze lamp, and it immediately emitted a faint light, cold and lonely.
"In the past, I, Qingyang Sanren, and Zhu Liu guarded this solitary lamp and crossed the vast sea of the netherworld. The entire cold outer realm was illuminated by only this little light."
“Although the lights are dim, they illuminate the world!”
Bai Mei, who was standing by, spoke up at this time, showing off his presence: "It is precisely because of the saints like Xianjun who traveled all over the four seas and mountains in the early days of the wilderness and passed down the methods of cultivation when the world was reopened that we have the current prosperous scene of various tribes standing side by side."
Fang Xiu shook his head: "Even if there is no me, there will be others."
Fang Xiu looked at Lin Xu: "You are so thoughtful! Get up!"
Lin Xu immediately stood up and replied: "This item originally belonged to the Immortal Lord! Now it is just being returned to its original owner."
Fang Xiu handed the bronze lamp to one side, and a scholar from the academy beside him took it and put it aside carefully. Although the bronze lamp was a bit peculiar, it was not a treasure except for some special powers and materials. However, as long as it was related to the person in front of him, people could not help but be cautious.
Afterwards, Fang Xiu looked at Bai Mei. This nine-tailed fox had visited him many times, so he certainly knew what she wanted.
Bai Mei was standing restlessly at this moment, looking at the Immortal Lord Fengdu eagerly. Last time, she came in with the token of Youdu Fairy Island, saying that she would return to Youdu to visit the Immortal Lord Fengdu. This time she came because of Lin Xu, but what she asked was that the Immortal Lord Fengdu could give some guidance on her practice.
According to Bai Mei's current foundation and cultivation, if there is no incredible opportunity, she may have no hope of becoming an immortal in this lifetime.
Fang Xiu pondered for a moment, then said, "Whatever you ask for! I can only give you one tip, which is considered a disclosure of the secret. You should grasp it well!"
"In the land of Sunrise Tang Valley, a celestial being will be born in a few years. At that time, a small entrance will be opened in Tang Valley, allowing people to enter and exit."
"If you have that opportunity, perhaps you can find your chance to become enlightened from it!"
"If you miss it, I'm afraid you will never be able to become an immortal in this life!"
"Take care of yourself!"
A look of joy appeared on Bai Mei's beautiful face: "Thank you very much for your guidance, Immortal Lord!"
After saying this, the white-robed saint under the Spring and Autumn Divine Tree waved his hand, and layers of light poured out from the palace, carrying the two of them from the Palace of the First Saint above the sea of clouds, all the way down the clouds, and landed under the sacred mountain that was like a pillar of heaven.
The two of them rushed into the peach forest under the city at once, but at this moment, they found that the peach forest had already become withered and the branches had become bare.
What is even more incredible is that winter had arrived at the foot of the mountain and heavy snow had begun to fall.
Lin Xu and Bai Mei then realized that although they had only been on the mountain for half a day, more than half a year had passed down the mountain.
The two of them bowed towards the Yunhai Temple at the foot of the sacred mountain, and then walked outside. The men and women of the Sky Fox Clan who were waiting on the pleasure boat at the foot of the mountain had been waiting for an unknown amount of time, but did not dare to leave. When they saw the two of them, they immediately walked out of the cabin excitedly and shouted towards the shore.
When the pleasure boat sailed out of the human cave, the Qianli Wine Pool outside also entered winter. The reed marshes were covered in white, and the mountains and city walls in the distance also appeared covered in silver.
The boat went downstream, covering thousands of miles a day, and arrived at Gaoyang in a few days. After a few more days, it reached the ancient Shao land in the south. Lin Xu bid farewell to the Nine-tailed Fox clan and headed overseas.
Lin Xu found a magical island overseas, accepted several disciples, and founded the Hanhai Sect. Because of its strange origin and profound background, it shocked the overseas independent cultivator community for a while.
Because he was transformed from the White Bone Fairy Ship, people in the world also call him the White Bone Taoist or the White Bone True Lord.
