Lou Ban's condition became more and more strange, his spiritual nature was quietly changing, and fairy light seeped out from his body from time to time, turning into jade buildings and cloud bridges behind him.
Su Yun was extremely nervous. Although it was very comfortable for him to sit on the cushion, Lou Ban had no physical body. Whether the cushion was harmful or beneficial to his soul was not something Su Yun could know.
Yingying slipped onto the cloud bridge behind Lou Ban and trotted all the way to the illusory jade palace.
Su Yun activated Yinglong Heavenly Eye and observed carefully, but did not find any changes in Lou Ban's spirit in the fairy light.
"The fairy light is helpful for the cultivation of the soul, and the fairy energy is helpful for the cultivation of the body. But why didn't his soul change?"
Su Yun was puzzled. Even if it was a normal spirit, it should have been able to cultivate into a golden body with the blessing of immortal light!
Even if it was a false god like the Golden Body Spirit, it could at least increase its strength. But Lou Ban did not change at all, which made Su Yun quite puzzled.
Suddenly, Yingying's voice came: "Su Shizi, I can't get out! Save me-"
Su Yun looked hurriedly, and saw that the girl ran to the Yuyu Jinglou behind Lou Ban and got lost in that extremely complex building.
However, when Su Yun looked closely, he could not help but be shocked. The magnificent buildings behind Lou Ban seemed to hide an infinite space. It was so complex and deep that he had never seen anything like it before!
This building gave him the feeling of a world of its own, a huge planet made up of buildings, clouds and bridges. Even the interior of the planet was composed of long corridors, aisles and rooms, wrapping around the mountains and rivers of the planet!
"The most important thing is that this building is alive!"
Su Yun frowned. This architectural world was constantly changing the geography and building structure, making it impossible for people to find a way out once they entered!
Even if he entered, he would get lost, let alone Yingying
Master Cen came to Su Yun, looked at him carefully, and couldn't help but be moved. He said: "The master of Tongtian Pavilion is worthy of being a leader of the new school and a saint among the people. He did not try to learn the immortal arts of the exiled immortal, but absorbed his ideas. He used the power of the cushion to visualize and improve his own magical powers. This is worth learning from..."
Su Yun was slightly startled, and immediately understood the implied meaning of his words.
Lou Ban’s body was dead, his brain had no thoughts, and his soul was unable to change itself, so when he was gaining enlightenment on the meditation cushion, he did not try to make what he had gained a part of himself. Instead, he used the characteristics of the meditation cushion to transform it into “external objects.”
This "external object" is the building where Yingying is lost.
"The immortal energy and immortal light in the cushion can be transformed into real things through visualization. The stall owners in Louban rely on this. When they transform themselves into banished immortals, they write down their insights in the form of buildings." Su Yun thought to himself.
As time went by, the building behind Lou Ban became more and more complete and more and more real.
As for Yingying, she knew how to ask for help at first, but later her voice became inaudible and she didn't know where she was trapped.
Two days later, Lou Ban woke up and released Yingying. The little girl immediately flapped her paper wings and flew to Su Yun's shoulder. Su Yun quickly opened his spiritual world, and Yingying entered his spiritual world and dared not come out.
—She flew around in the building behind Lou Ban for two or three days, but not only did she not find a way out, she exhausted herself to despair.
"This cushion is indeed good, and the magical power of the exiled immortal is also truly shocking."
Lou Ban was in a trance for a moment, then he sighed, "His magic is truly amazing. I am one step closer to the Tao. I can understand it, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to apply it to my own magical powers. Such an amazing magic still can't stop the sword, so I have to cut off my arm to survive..."
He shook his head, feeling unbelievable.
Su Yun asked, "Did anyone see what happened after he ascended?"
Lou Ban shook his head: "I haven't seen it. This cushion should be the immortal tool he used to achieve enlightenment. It is extremely extraordinary, but it lacks his enlightenment in the immortal world. I don't know if he deliberately concealed it."
Master Cen stepped forward and also sat on the cushion to meditate.
In terms of talent, Mr. Cen is actually not as good as Lou Ban.
The first person in Confucianism was Confucius, and after him there were dozens of Confucian saints. By the time of Confucius Cen's generation, new learning gradually flourished, while Confucianism was unable to adapt and had become old learning.
Although Master Cen wanted to make changes, the shackles of the old learning were like shackles that locked him tightly. He inherited the old sages' unique learning, but he planned to overthrow it. He was torn between two options, like a god bound by his own Taoism and principles.
Therefore, his great holy weapon is called the Immortal Rope, which is not used to bind others, but to bind himself.
Lou Ban, on the other hand, had no such burdens and travelled light, so he achieved greater success.
However, Master Cen still tried to make a change, which was to accept Mr. Lingyue as his disciple and use Lingyue's rebellion to complete the revolution of New Confucianism against Old Confucianism.
"I wonder if Uncle Cen can figure out how to break the shackles?" Su Yun thought to himself.
In Ying'an City, a group of golden gods from the Chai family who were chasing Nan Buyi and other bandits returned, led by Chai Fuli, one of the four golden ancient gods. There is also another golden ancient god Chai Keji in the city.
The two ancient gods met, and Chai Keji asked, "Have you caught that Nan Buyi?"
Chai Fuli shook his head: "Nan Buyi was a very cunning thief. He stole a lot of valuables and fled westward. We chased him for hundreds of thousands of miles, but he led his people to hide in the forbidden area. I was worried that there would be trouble here, so I rushed back first. Gan Pin and Le Dao are guarding outside the forbidden area. If Nan Buyi comes out, he will die!"
Chai Ganpin and Chai Ledao are also ancient gods with golden bodies. They and Chai Yundu are mostly father and son, or grandfather and grandson. Chai Yundu belongs to the first generation of immortals, while the four ancient gods with golden bodies are all second and third generations.
Their bloodlines were far inferior to Chai Yundu's, so the four of them died of old age and had to rely on immortal light to refine their golden bodies, while Chai Yundu was still young and showed no signs of aging.
It is not easy for an immortal to pass down his bloodline, so it is usually passed down by a single person, and only occasionally one or two more children will be born. They are also afraid of intermarriage with outsiders, which would dilute and pollute the bloodline, so they usually marry within the clan.
Because of intermarriage within the clan and many deaths at an early age, the Chai family has only grown to a few million people to date.
Chai Fuli looked worried and said, "You're back just in time. The cushion was taken away, the fairy cloud also disappeared, and many things fell down, but the only thing I didn't see was the body of the God..."
The corners of Chai Keji's eyes twitched violently: "Nothing will happen to the Lord's body! How powerful is the Lord? It's hard for ordinary people to get close to him!"
"But the Lord's physical body should fall off!"
Chai Fuli said, "There are only two possibilities for the God's body to disappear. One is that it was snatched away by Nan Buyi, and the other is that it fell into the hands of the person who broke into the Immortal's Hall that day. Although we didn't see the face of the person who broke into the Immortal's Hall, I heard from Chai Fang, Chai Yi and others that there were guests from Tianshiyuan in the city recently."
Chai Keji's heart skipped a beat: "Where is the guest?"
Chai Fuli said, "They are in the side hall. I asked Chai Fang to hold them steady. Chai Xirong is watching there now. These two have not made any movement. If they are the ones who invaded the main hall of the immortals and abducted the body of the god, I alone, together with the four elders, may not be their match."
Chai Keji said in a deep voice: "You did the right thing and didn't alert the enemy. Now that I'm here, whether they are dragons or insects, they will reveal their true colors!"
When he got excited, his momentum burst out, and in an instant, his aura exceeded the limit that the world could bear!
Chai Keji suddenly saw a sword light shining on him. He was startled and hurriedly restrained his breath.
Chai Fuli hurriedly said: "Be careful. Don't release all your power. If you alert the Immortal Sword, we will be doomed!"
Chai Keji suppressed his excitement and said, "The Lord God named me Keji because he wanted me to control my emotions. It seems he had foreseen this."
The two ancient gods with golden bodies quickly arrived at the center of the city and walked towards the side hall next to the Temple of the God.
In the side hall, Wutong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly urged his magic heart. His voice rang in everyone's mind: "The two golden ancient gods of the Chai family are here!"
At this time, Master Cen was still sitting on the cushion and had not yet woken up from his meditation.
Without hesitation, Su Yun opened his spiritual world and immediately took Master Cen and his cushion into his spiritual world and stuffed them into a portal.
Wutong and Jiao Shuao also walked into the portal respectively. Su Yun picked up this portal and threw it into another portal.
These portals were exactly the ones he took away from Guanghan Cave Heaven.
Behind Su Yun, the celestial spirit acted quickly, covering these portals one by one. Soon all the other portals disappeared, leaving only one portal.
Su Yun quickly opened the rune wall hidden deep in his memory and threw the portal in!
This series of actions was extremely smooth.
Unless someone can find the seal deep in his memory, it will be impossible to find the rune wall, let alone go deep into his memory and fish out this portal and the body of Lord Chai Yundu!
Lou Ban's face changed slightly, and he came to Su Yun and whispered, "I have met the golden ancient god of the Chai family!"
Su Yun's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to speak, Chai Xirong, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly laughed and said, "Why am I sitting here? Holy Spirit, what are you talking about?"
She had no memory of the horrific events she had experienced, but it was Wutong who erased her painful experience before she entered the portal.
Lou Ban was about to speak when suddenly an old voice came from outside the hall: "I heard that the Holy Spirit of Tianshiyuan was visiting. My Chai family is in a troubled time and we were not able to entertain you. Please forgive us!"
Lou Ban's heart tightened: "This voice is the voice of the golden ancient god who suppressed me with one hand!"
Chai Xirong walked forward, ready to open the door, and said with a smile: "You two may not know, the person outside is our Chai family's ancestor, Chai Fuli, who is actually a second-generation immortal!"
Su Yun's eyes rolled around and cold sweat broke out on his forehead uncontrollably. Now, even if he tried to stuff Lou Ban into his memory seal, it might be too late!
Because Chai Xirong has met Lou Ban!
If Lou Ban were to disappear, it would definitely arouse her suspicion!
Chai Xirong opened the door. Su Yun and Lou Ban were at their wits' end when suddenly an extremely powerful aura came from outside Ying'an City, shaking the space where Ying'an City was located, and even causing the sacred mountain Tianxi Mountain to shake and tremble!
"A visitor from Tianshiyuan, the Heavenly Divine Emperor Yu Daoyuan, has come to visit the Emperor's Seat Cave Heaven's Lord Yundu!"
The loud laughter of the Divine Emperor Yu Daoyuan reached everyone's ears clearly, and he said loudly: "I came here with good intentions, and have made all the people in the Emperor's Throne Cave Heaven convert to heaven. I came here specially to preach the gospel!"
Chai Keji and Chai Fuli's faces changed drastically: "This person's strength is not inferior to you and me! He is also a person who forcibly suppresses his strength for fear of attracting the attention of the Immortal Sword!"
The two of them did not bother to see Su Yun and Lou Ban, and immediately turned around and walked out. Chai Keji said loudly: "So you are visitors from Tianshiyuan. You may not know that fishermen at sea have owners!"
His aura burst forth, colliding violently with the grand momentum of the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan. The space was squeezed, twisted, and deformed. Countless thunders burst out from the void and poured down in all directions!
The Divine Emperor Yu Daoyuan led everyone in Tongtian Pavilion and stood in the air. The heaven was vast and many gods stood there.
Even Yu Daoyuan was shocked and said in surprise: "The so-called Lord Yundu actually has some abilities. No wonder he dares to call himself a Lord. I will conquer this place today and make it my territory!"
He stood up, and the gods behind him became one, transforming into an incomparably powerful celestial spirit. Their aura suddenly surged, overwhelming Chai Keji.
Seeing this, Chai Fuli hurried to help his brother resist.
The two of them led many masters of the Chai family and rushed towards the city gate!
In the side hall, Su Yun was surprised and delighted: "Yu Daoyuan really came to my rescue, I misunderstood him!"
Lou Ban also said: "After Yu Daoyuan dies, we must erect a memorial archway for him, inscribed with the words 'loyalty and righteousness without parallel'!"
The arrival of the Divine Emperor Yu Daoyuan at this time undoubtedly saved them from danger, making both the new and old masters of Tongtian Pavilion grateful and praising their loyalty!
"Brother Louban, I will take you away from here!"
Just as Su Yun said this, suddenly a magnetic divine light appeared from the sky, and a majestic and unparalleled spiritual being descended along with the mighty magnetic divine light.
The corner of Su Yun's eyes twitched. The spirit of the god Chai Yundu had finally arrived!
