After arriving at Baling Castle, the Flying Frost Dao Lord entered the city with a few cronies, and the rest of the Flying Frost Dao supporters, which continued to sail south to the Castle Tower area.

They will organize their households there, and with the cooperation of the local government, they will officially become the people of the Chu State.

Under the strength of Chu and Lu Yuan, even those who are outside the family cannot escape tax and labor.

At most, because of the other party's specialness, give some preferential treatment.

But if you want to establish an independent kingdom in the state of Chu, it is absolutely impossible.

This point had already been made clear when Feishuang Dao and Lu Yuan talked about cooperation, and it was a prerequisite for all cooperation.

Fortunately, the sincerity of the cooperation of Feishuang Dao is quite sufficient, and I have never thought of being maverick and breaking the rules that have been implemented by the Chu State for more than 20 years.

Therefore, after compromising with each other, the two sides also acquiesced to this.

After the Flying Frost Dao Lord entered the city, he immediately contacted the disciples of the sect in the city, and then sent someone to spread the word to the King of Chu to arrange a meeting.

News soon reached the palace.

After learning the news of the arrival of the Flying Frost Dao Master, Lu Yuan summoned him as soon as possible without delay.

It's still the last time in the Uchichang Garden.

There was no heavy snow today, the sky was clear, and the golden sun hung high in the sky, and it was very bright.

It's just that although the sun is bright, the sunlight that shines down makes people feel the slightest temperature, and it is still cold to the bone.

Many plum blossoms in the garden have also accumulated a thick layer of ice crystals and snow under the heavy snow in the past, and the branches are slightly bent.

Fortunately, the road in the plum garden is cleaned, and a bluestone paved plum forest trail stretches all the way into the forest from the gate of the garden, so that people can go deep into the plum forest and enjoy the beautiful scenery here.

Lu Yuan was wearing a pure white robe, carrying his hands behind his back, walking on the path with relaxed steps, looking at the surrounding plum scenery with a comfortable face, smelling the surging fragrance, and his mood seemed to be one with heaven and earth.

After him, the same white-robed old man followed, with the same suddenness on his face, but it was also mixed with a slight chill that blended with the surrounding ice and snow, which seemed to be more in line with the nature of heaven and earth than Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye while walking, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, but he said with a smile on his face: "This cold and snowy beauty is gorgeous. But many ordinary people retreated because of the cold of ice and snow, and did not dare to come out of this outside world, admiring the great world.

I loved plum in my early years, and I admired its tenacity in the cold and blooming.

It's a pity that although the cold winter was cold in the past, ordinary people can still support the past by wearing one or two more cotton jackets, and they can still act in this unsheltered world.

I can also take advantage of this time to find one or two friends, go to the plum grove to cook wine, and talk about my aspirations and hobbies.

Now it is extremely cold, even if you wear three or four cotton jackets, it is difficult to hide the cold through the bones.

Time passes, things are not people.

Now I want to find one or two close friends, busy and busy, laughing and having fun, but it is also difficult. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan stared at the plum blossoms in front of him, as if he was in remembrance, with a few wisps of sadness on his expression.

Think about it carefully.

Although he has grown rapidly over the years, since he decided to step into this worldly competition, he has established this great foundation in just over 20 years.

Even the cultivation has reached the peak of this world, and it is still rapidly increasing.

But at the same time, I realized that when it comes to joy and happiness, it is far less pure and profound than when I was in that plum blossom town.

At that time, I only needed to practice martial arts every day without distractions, experienced the hardships of martial arts, and was happy for every increase in internal strength.

When I was tired of practicing martial arts, I read and comprehended Buddhist and Taoist classics and miscellaneous stories, drawing all kinds of knowledge and nutrients from them, and honing my own state of mind.

If you are bored at home, you can also go into the mountains to hunt and taste the wild atmosphere of the deep mountain nature.

Or go to the tavern in the town, listen to the noisy chatter of pedestrians and business travelers, and learn all kinds of interesting things from all over the world.

When Sun Siwen is free, he can also travel with this friend, and taste wine in Shili Meilin outside the town.

When the medicinal materials for practicing martial arts at home are used up, they can still drive more than ten miles to go into the city to find Dr. Zhou, chat with each other about the medical scriptures and pharmacopoeia, the rivers and lakes are chaotic, and then sigh that the world is difficult and life is not easy.

At the end, he could still tease Xiao Zhou Qing, look at the other party's embarrassment and embarrassment, laugh again, and leave.

At that time, the days were so joyful and carefree.

Compare it to.

Now that Lu Yuan has become the lord of a country and the grandmaster of the world, he has unimaginable power, wealth, and great power.

But after all this, with it comes heavy responsibilities, and never-ending calculations, intrigues and intrigues, fights and blood and fire tempering, as if from the moment he decided to step into the furnace of this world, he has never been far away.

But with his own growth, he has always been with him, and he has been entangled with his current self, and he can no longer distinguish from each other.

Under all these external worries, although Lu Yuan got a lot, although he realized his wish.

But at the same time, I sometimes feel that those things I once longed for do not seem to be as beautiful as I imagined.

When I got it, I wasn't as happy and happy as I thought.

Behind the joy, I always feel that there is something involved, and it is not pure at all.

In recent days, after knowing the catastrophe of heaven and earth, and after comprehending the huge disparity between himself and heaven and earth, Lu Yuan has gradually woken up from the grand plan to unify Kyushu.

What is the hegemony of the world, what is the royal power and wealth?

In front of heaven and earth, in the face of this sweeping disaster, they all seem so humble and insignificant.

When the tide of the times sweeps in, it only takes a wave to destroy all this.

After making this mistake, Lu Yuan's original attachment to the Chu State gradually declined.

began to pick up the original heart, return to the original most authentic desires and ideas, master the power, and then live forever and infinitely.

Besides.

What Chu State, what hegemony, all are just some means and ways taken on the road to a better immortal life.

It's a process, not a result.

Originally, although Lu Yuan could also realize this, because he had invested too much effort in the process of building the Chu State, he gradually lost a little.

Slowly overlapping the hegemony of the Chu State with the immortal escape, artificially restricting his future and path, and embarking on a wrong path that deviates from the main line.

Fortunately, a catastrophe of heaven and earth poured like cold water.

In an unstoppable way, the great cause of the Chu State fell into the crisis of overturning, and Lu Yuan woke up from this addiction and re-realized his true heart.

As he slowly cleaned up and recovered these days, he gradually began to change, although he would not give up the tool of the great cause of the Chu State, after all, this was the best way for him to quickly grasp the power.

But he didn't put all his efforts into the Chu State, but slowly divided his energy and used it for himself, making some cuts.

Up to now, if the state of Chu and him are separated, there is nothing to do, and they have seen a lot.

And after letting go, the artistic conception of being free and infinite and ethereal out of the dust became more and more obvious to Lu Yuan.

And because of this.

When Mo Li, the Flying Frost Dao Lord behind him, saw Lu Yuan, his first impression was not that he saw a king who dominated the world, but that he was an immortal who wandered in the world.

That kind of quiet and leisurely atmosphere is simply a little temperament that only Taoist masters who have practiced deeply can have.

'The king of Chu in front of me can have this artistic conception, compared to me, it is not the same! ’

Mo Lizhong sighed with emotion, raised the importance of the King of Chu to another level, and then responded with a smile: "The reason why Daoist friends think like this is because their eyes are obscured by this red dust, dragging their bodies and minds, and they sink here, and it is difficult to break free.

As long as the Taoist friends are willing to cut off the red dust with great perseverance, from entering the WTO to being born, they will no longer be bound by the red dust, and they can be at ease and travel the world.

At that time, the world was vast, and where in the world was there no magnificent beauty?

Unobscured by the red dust, where in the world is not a carefree person?

If you want to find a friendly world, how easy it is.

If it is difficult for Daoyou to make up your mind, this time you can fly to the immortal realm with us, and then you will directly cut off the connection with this Kyushu, and when you reach a new world, you can be free. ”

In the end, Mo Li changed his original mind a little, and instead invited Lu Yuan to fly with him.

The King of Chu in front of him was quite strong, and even when he faced the other party, he faintly felt a great sense of crisis in his heart.

This made it clear to Mo Li that the person in front of him was really like a rumor, and he was a person with a long history of spiritual qualifications.

In this world of the end of the law, he can even become a figure comparable to himself as a master of the Immortal Sect with a body of scattered cultivation.

Such achievements are truly unimaginable.

Even Mo Li suspected that if it weren't for the limitations of heaven and earth and the restraint of aura, the king of Chu in front of him might have become a figure like the three emperors in mythology and suppress an era when he was placed in ancient times.

At the same time, he was also happy.

Fortunately, the opportunity of King Chu came from Sun Qingyi a hundred years ago, so that most of the benefits in it were used up early.

There is only a little chance left, at most, if the other party reaches the current achievement, it is already the limit.

Otherwise, with the talent of this King of Chu and really growing up, how can they still have room to breathe in this world?

I'm afraid that if it's not the entire Kyushu Ten Domains, the immortal sects will completely surrender to the other party's feet and completely lose their autonomy.

But that's exactly what happened.

This King of Chu is talented and has extraordinary qualifications, and he can't pull the other party into the ascension team, so after the ascension to the immortal realm, having such a strongman with him will undoubtedly be a great hole card and guarantee for their team.

If there is really any danger in the fairy world, or if the situation is difficult.

With the King of Chu here, they can also have greater certainty and get through the separation.

This is undoubtedly something that can greatly increase the probability of survival.

Therefore, even if you know that the King of Chu is a soul-like core figure for the Chu State.

But for the sake of his own safety and the plan for ascension, Mo Li still couldn't help but want to win over Lu Yuan and take the other party to ascend together.

As for Lu Yuan leaving, without this strongman sitting in the Chu State, what should the sect that stayed?

That can only be said that future generations have their own blessings.

Today's Chu State is strong enough, even if there is no King of Chu, it is still the hegemon of the world.

I have already made arrangements for my ancestors, and the younger generations are not without opportunities, if I can't catch it, who can I blame?

You can't rely on your ancestors to help you with everything, and you have to feed your food to your mouth one bite at a time, right?

In that case, who is the ancestor?

So Mo was only a little guilty, but he didn't care about it soon.

It's just that in the face of his invitation, Lu Yuan did shake his head lightly, and said without any waves: "Now Kyushu will be abolished, all the people will be destroyed, and heaven and earth will almost be destroyed."

As a person from Kyushu and the lord of Banzhou, how can I abandon all the people and be alone in this difficult situation?

Ascending to the fairy realm may be the way to escape from leisure.

But for me, this may be the way to go, but it is not now. ”

Unsurprisingly, Lu Yuan rejected Mo Li's invitation.

Although he has now regained his original intention, he has taken a lot of energy out of the hegemony of the Chu State and put it back on the path of immortality.

But this does not mean that he really intends to completely abandon the Chu State.

Anyway, after all, this is also a career that I have worked hard for more than 20 years, and I can't just give up if I give up.

In the future, maybe Lu Yuan will completely let go of the Chu State, but that will definitely not be now.

At the very least, he will never let go until he uses the Chu State and absorbs the last trace of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

The same thing.

The path of ascending to the Immortal Realm, Lu Yuan may take it in the future, but it is definitely not now.

Just like in ancient times, those immortals chose to stay in the world, raise their strength to the limit, and then ascend.

Lu Yuan also planned to raise his own strength to the limit of this realm, and then think about the matter of ascension.

Otherwise, with the cultivation that is now only condensed, together with a group of monks who have been cornered, to run to do something to raise the realm and ascend, the danger is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Even in Lu Yuan's heart, he faintly decided.

Unless Kyushu has completely come to the end of the world, there is a danger of the world falling apart, otherwise there is no need for him to soar.

After all, he will soon become the number one master in Kyushu, and when this group of monks soars in front of him, no one in this world will be able to threaten him.

At that time, with his eternal and infinite lifespan, the Lord could go on in this world without limit.

There is no threat from the outside world, there is no worry about the exhaustion of longevity, and with his strength that surpasses other mortals, he is like a dead immortal god, and he can be at ease in Kyushu.

That being the case, why take the risk of going to the Northern Netherworld where I don't know what happened, and gambling on an unpredictable future of the fairy world?

Lu Yuan is not Mo Li these monks, he has enough choices, there is no need to take risks.

"Taoist friends have the world in their hearts, and they are admired by poor people."

Seeing Lu Yuan's resolute attitude, Mo Yuan couldn't help but regret it, but he didn't continue to persuade him.

Although there is one less strong person to walk with, there may be one less help for the ascension to the immortal realm.

But the same.

Having such a Chu king stay, it is actually a good thing for the Flying Frost Dao, which has been deeply bound to the Chu State.

Therefore, whether Lu Yuan ascended or stayed, it was actually a sure thing for them to make a profit or lose money.

Even so, there's no need to dwell on it.

just sighed: "It's just that the poor Dao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and his heart is towards the way of heaven, so he really can't sacrifice himself as a human being, stay in this red dust in Kyushu, and help the vast number of sentient beings survive the disaster."

This ascension, the poor road is hard to miss. ”

Regarding the ugliness and flaws in his heart, Mo Li did not hide anything, and said it frankly.

"It is the nature of living beings to be greedy for life and fear of death, just like seeking advantage and avoiding harm, what a shame."

Lu Yuan just smiled at Mo Li's words, and then asked without any disguise: "There is another matter here, I want to ask Daoyou, and I hope that Daoyou can solve my doubts." ”

Mo Li nodded slightly, and did not refuse: "Fellow Daoists, please speak, if you can say it, the poor Dao will not hide it." ”

Lu Yuan said: "This matter involves the Northern Netherworld. I want to know, wait for Daoyou and others to use the Ascension Formation and go to the Immortal Realm. Will there be any problems in the remaining Northern Netherworld, such as damage and difficulty in reuse? ”

Although the willingness to ascend is not strong, for Lu Yuan, the Northern Netherworld is also a way out.

In the future, if there is really the end of the collapse of heaven and earth, it will be difficult for the entire Kyushu to survive, then such a formation that can fly to the immortal realm will become his only life.

Therefore, for the Northern Netherworld Capital, Lu Yuan is still quite attentive, and always pays attention to the situation of this formation.

"Daoist friends plan to ascend in the future?"

Hearing Lu Yuan's question, Mo Li instantly guessed the other party's thoughts, glanced at the King of Chu, but couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The materials used in the Northern Netherworld are brought from the immortal realm after the original Boundary Breaking Immortal came into the world.

It was a true fairy, long enough to last forever.

With such a formation refined by immortal treasures, it would not be so easy to destroy.

Now there is a problem in the Northern Netherworld, and it is only a lack of spiritual energy, and it is difficult to maintain the formation, so it has to be gradually closed.

In our estimation, even if we use the formation, even if there will be a problem with the Northern Netherworld Formation, it will be thousands of years later.

Thousands of years later, when the immortal treasures of the Northern Netherworld were refined, they gradually began to degenerate and decay due to the depletion of spiritual energy, and the magic circle would completely collapse.

But that was bound to be a long time later.

If Daoist friends want to lead the people of Kyushu through the catastrophe after a hundred years, and carry out the second ascension, there will definitely be no problems with the formation. ”

Mo Li explained Lu Yuan's concern, then hesitated for a moment, and still said: "It's just that the formation is available, but according to our estimates, there is still an active aura in Kyushu now, and at most the Northern Netherworld Capital can be activated once."

After the formation drains the remaining active aura between heaven and earth, there may still be remnants of aura in heaven and earth, but it is located in the depths of the world, and it is difficult for the outside world to shake it at all.

Even in the northern netherworld, it is difficult to absorb and exploit the dead aura in the depths of these worlds.

Therefore, if Daoyou want to ascend, the formation is not the key, there is not enough aura support, this is the biggest problem.

If you really want to ascend, this is the last chance to act with us.

If you miss this time, it will be difficult to get rid of it. ”

Mo Li shook his head, obviously not optimistic about Lu Yuan's thoughts.

If they really have enough aura to open the Northern Netherworld for the second time, then why should they, the existing monks, rush to soar.

Even set the time in a year later, which can be described as extremely hasty.

It's not because the aura between heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner, and every day passes, the active aura they can use is less than a point.

If they delay any longer, the active aura will not be enough, even if they want to ascend, they will not be able to muster enough aura to open the Northern Netherworld.

Today's Kyushu, for them immortal cultivators, is simply a desperate end times.

All want detachment.

Lu Yuan's thoughts, it's not that no one has thought about it, but it's just a delusion.

If you really have this thought, it will only sink with Kyushu, and it will be difficult to break free.
