"old man shook his head and said, 'I've seen people like you who are so eager to cultivate immortality, but they either turn into demons, lose interest after three days, or end up with nothing.'
'I can tell you have the desire to seek immortality, but you value freedom, which is elusive. That's quite unusual... Tell me, why do you want to cultivate immortality?' old man asked."
Huangpu Xin thought to himself, "I want to live forever, so that I can experience every kind of beauty and every kind of misfortune in the world, and even experience every person and every kind of life. If I have to say, it should be a kind of curiosity about everything."
old man seemed surprised that a young person would say this, and after a moment's pause, nodded and said, "Living forever... it's a very common idea, even the most ordinary wish. But your desire for knowledge reminds me of someone..."
"Hey, first, tell me about your understanding of the Tao and the pursuit of the Tao." The old man fell into a moment of reminiscence and then snapped out of it, changing the subject to ask.
"I once heard a term called 'wei dao ri sun.' I think it's probably about gradually discarding all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts stirred up by external things, and then one's own path will slowly emerge." Huangpu Xin shared his own insight.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes and no."
"Please teach me, Master," said Huangpu Xin respectfully.
old man He smiled without speaking, got up and walked towards the lake, strolling as he pleased. The disturbance caused the mist to disperse and the lake surface to appear. "What did you see?"
"Could it be that the master compared the lake surface to the great path, and only by dispersing the clouds and mist can one see the way?" Huangpu Xin tentatively inquired.
old man Knocking on him: "What's the difference between you sitting here and what you just said?"
Huangpu Xin Holding his head.
old man angrily laughed and scolded, "You've lived two lifetimes, with a strange and unpredictable fate. Now that you're at the age of destiny, why are you still acting cute? Disgusting!"
Huangpu Xin looked at the old man who was tens of thousands of years old, twitching at the corners of his mouth, and felt a shock in his heart.
I am indeed a person of two worlds, but not in the way that Ma Yunyang and Chenhao think, because he is not a person of Sun Country at all. This Huangpu Xin is a true person of the Earth's Celestial Empire, who crossed over to Sun Country and took the place of a child named Huangpu Xin who had already perished, and has survived to this day.
When Huangpu Xin came to his senses, he found old man looking at him, and quickly lowered his head in a pleading manner.
I saw the old man shaking his head and saying, "I won't make it difficult for you. It's a bit too much to ask about the path before the law has even begun to be practiced, but you can't keep calling me 'old man' in your heart."
"Eh hehe..." Huangpu Xin pretended to be silly.
old man rolled his eyes and said, "I am your master, surnamed Lv, named Zhuo, with the nickname of Carefree Wanderer. When you go out in the future, at the very least, remember to mention my name..."
Huangpu Xin interjected, "Respectfully welcoming the deity?"
"old mansmiled ambiguously and said, '...I'll have to send an immortal to deal with you.'
'Ah? Then I won't mention your name to my master...' Huangpu Xin replied."
"I used to roam the world freely, but I had too many enemies and it was not suitable to be too public. Now that I have taken you as my little disciple, don't expect to rely on the reputation of an immortal to do anything."
Huangpu Xin said with a sneer, "Let's talk about getting out first. Master, I see that your little world has shrunk to just this much. You don't have the ability to send me out. It's been half an hour already."
After paying respects to his master, Huangpu Xin gradually relaxed. He had just used his psychic powers to spread out and found that within a radius of less than ten miles, the place that was once said to rival a medium-sized world had now shrunk to such a small size. This shows that the external supply is still crucial, and not as insignificant as the old man had portrayed it to be.
"Alright, alright, hurry up, all you do is hurry, just like an old lady!" the carefree wanderer scolded.
"Before I send you off, is there anything else you want to ask?" the old man asked as he reached for the "bamboo slip."
Huangpu Xin, lost in thought, asked, "Master, what is an immortal?"
old man looked up with a serious expression and said, "What is an immortal? Mountain man is an immortal."
Then he put down the "bamboo slips" and continued to ask and answer himself, "Why not consider seafarer, celestial beings, and earthly beings as immortals? It is because the heavens, the earth, and the sea are all within the three realms, and beyond the boundary mountains separates the immortals from the mortals. Mountain man Mountain man, the mountain serves as a barrier, isolating from the world. If you have your own path, the path is the mountain. When you achieve the path, then you are an immortal!"
"Is this your way of the scattered immortals?" Huangpu Xin asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "It's just a part of it. You will understand in time."
"Master, what is the Tao?" Huangpu Xin asked again.
"The martial path has no gate. Cultivating a strand of innate qi and returning it to the innate is the path of martial cultivation. Immortal cultivation has its techniques, cultivating the five elements in various sizes, following the laws as the Tao. Extraordinary individuals and unusual beings who become immortals by walking the forbidden paths are also considered as the Tao."
"Then, which one is stronger?" Huangpu Xin asked again.
"Those who follow the Way can break all methods; those that cannot be broken are the ultimate!" the old man said solemnly.
Huangpu Xin pondered and digested the words of the old man, and casually said, "So as long as I don't lose, I am invincible?"
The old man sneered, "In the South Sea, there is the divine turtle, which can withstand my full-strength blow without breaking. Is it invincible?"
"Uh, the turtle shell can't be considered invincible, it has no means of attack," Huangpu Xin replied.
The old man nodded and said, "That's right. Although I can't break it with one strike, with three moves I can break it, and it will be doomed!"
"Your senior brother's 'Eight or Nine Arduous Achievements' encompasses all things, but lacks the means of attack and defense, focusing only on rapid progress in cultivation and avoiding disasters. The methods I have learned are not suitable for you, so you will have to seek out the methods of attack and defense on your own."
Huangpu Xin nodded solemnly and said, "Master, my experience is far from sufficient. Are there any cultivation methods in this world that are suitable for me? Please tell me, so that I can improve myself after I leave."
old man After a moment of silence, he spoke, "You, kid, are not diligent enough. The way of the sword requires unwavering determination. Moreover, your body possesses an empty spiritual root, and various attack methods must be driven by the same system. However, only eight or nine cultivation methods are suitable for you, which eliminates a large part of them."
"After much thought, I realized that only some minor demonic and monster attack methods meet the requirements."
Huangpu Xin asked, "Master, aren't you a master of the outer realms? Why don't you have any means to attack demons and monsters?"
With a knock-knock sound, Huangpu Xin grinned and the old man said, "You're talking nonsense again. The outer realms are not the realm of demons and monsters. Because of the wandering and mysterious nature of the gods, there are few demons and monsters, and to reach the realm of demons and monsters, one must go through the underworld! I don't think you should go out and wander around. First, you should brush up on your common sense!"
"Okay..." Huangpu Xin nodded while holding his head.
"However, it is indeed not easy to obtain the means to attack demons. The Human Emperor had already established his dominance in the mortal realm ten thousand years ago, and it is estimated that nothing has been left..." the old man frowned.
"However, you can take a detour to the demon world," the old man said, then drew a rough map in the air with a golden thread, "You can first go to the realm of the dead, then take a side road to the underworld, so you can enter the underworld in the flesh. As long as you find a way to sneak into the demon world, you can return from the outer domain."
Huangpu Xin looked at the extremely rough "map" for a long time, asked numerous questions, and only barely understood the place.
