Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 31 The Opportunity to Temper One's Dao Heart

“Please wait outside for a moment. Come in when I tell you to.”

Lu Jiu stood in front of the temple and spoke to Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe.

Then he stepped forward, about to enter the temple.

Just then.

The two large doors of the temple, which were always open, suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang!

Lu Jiu had just taken one step, but before he could take the second, he suddenly stopped awkwardly.

This sudden turn of events startled both Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe.

I’ve never heard of temple gates being closed and people not allowed in!

Lu Jiu’s expression also darkened slightly. How could those old fogies in the temple be so disrespectful?

“Guests are welcome, but you won’t even let me in the door? Old Bi Deng, you’ve gone too far!”

Lu Jiu said with a cold face.

“Get lost! I don’t know you!”

An old voice came from the temple, but no matter how you listened to it, it didn’t sound like a wise person at all. Instead, it was completely uncivilized, full of foul language, like a street thug.

Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with even greater shock.

“Old Bi Deng, I advise you to watch your words and not force me to take action personally,” Lu Jiu sneered.

Boom…

Lu Jiu finished speaking.

The temple doors suddenly opened again.

It was as if the beings in the temple had been threatened and intimidated by Lu Jiu’s words.

The temple was empty except for a hundred-meter-tall golden statue in the center, depicting a kind-faced, bald old man.

However, at that moment, the instant the temple doors opened, the golden statue seemed to come alive, and a hand reached out from the open temple doors, striking directly at Lu Jiu, who was in the lead!

“senior!”

“Master Lu!”

Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe’s expressions changed drastically, both worried about Lu Jiu’s safety.

Even though they all knew that Lu Jiu was mysterious and unpredictable, and that his strength was unimaginable, the feelings that had developed over the time they spent together still made them feel worried.

boom!

A powerful aura also emanated from Lu Jiu’s body.

A primordial spirit dharma image, also a hundred meters tall, appeared behind him.

The primordial spirit also raised a hand, heading towards the large hand of the golden statue.

“Retreat quickly!”

Li Hanlu pulled Lu Changhe to retreat to a more distant place.

Once Lu Shi clashes with the beings within the temple, the mere spread of terrifying aftershocks will be more than the two of them can withstand.

However.

The terrifying aftershocks of the collision that I had imagined did not materialize.

The giant hand that the golden statue reached out suddenly transformed into a scissor-hand gesture!

The large hand that Lu Jiu’s manifested primordial spirit dharma form extended was a fist with five fingers clenched!

Both sides’ large hands were at the temple gate.

Rock-paper-scissors?

Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe felt that their worldview was about to be overturned!

“asshole!”

A furious shout echoed from within the temple: “Best of three!”

I heard this sound.

Li Hanlu and the other woman were certain that the two were indeed playing rock-paper-scissors!

At this moment, it felt as if thousands of cattle and horses were trampling over my heart. The complexity of my feelings was indescribable!

Under the speechless yet incredulous gazes of the two.

The battle rages on again before the temple gates!

This time.

The entity within the temple has lost again!

“Damn it! Seven…”

“Old Deng, do you have any shame? Can’t you handle this?”

Lu Jiu cursed speechlessly.

The being within the temple let out a cold snort, and the golden statue withdrew its large hand.

However, the temple gates were not closed again.

Lu Jiu smiled slightly and stepped inside.

Li Hanlu and the other person waited outside.

…

Inside the temple.

The golden, bald old man statue looks solemn and dignified.

But Lu Jiu knew very well that this old man was petty and held grudges!

“Lu Jiu! Speak your mind, or shut up!”

As soon as Lu Jiu entered, the golden statue emitted an impatient sound.

“You do remember me.”

Lu Jiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Isn’t that obvious? Even if you were ashes, I’d still recognize you. Back then… wait!”

Just as the golden statue was about to bring up old grievances, it seemed to suddenly realize something.

“You mean I remember you? You mean everyone else has forgotten you, and you’ve become a Golden Immortal?!”

What do you think?

“That’s impossible!”

The golden statue’s head swayed, its movements somewhat stiff, making it look rather comical.

“The innate laws of this realm are already shattered. It’s already good enough that someone can achieve the status of an Earth Immortal; it’s impossible for a Golden Immortal to emerge from here!”

“But I succeeded anyway,” Lu Jiu said with a smile.

Although Lu Jiu did not possess any aura of a Golden Immortal, nor even any immortal spiritual energy.

However, the golden statue was of extraordinary origin, and it naturally saw that there was a seal within Lu Jiu’s body; he had simply sealed away his true power.

“Stop talking nonsense! I only took a nap, and only a mere ten thousand years have passed!”

The owner of the golden statue clearly found it hard to believe that in just ten thousand years, the boy who was only at the True God realm back then had actually transformed and stepped into the incredible Golden Immortal realm.

“A mere Golden Immortal? Is it really worth making such a fuss over for someone like you who is a True Immortal?”

“You don’t know anything!”

The golden statue grumbled, “If it were the ancient primordial world, Golden Immortals would be nothing special, but your realm is merely a fragment of the ancient primordial world. Its innate laws are incomplete, so theoretically, it’s impossible for anyone to cultivate into a Golden Immortal!”

“Unless… you’ve gone somewhere else in the past ten thousand years! A place where the innate laws are complete!”

Speaking of which…

The golden statue became excited. “Tell me quickly, kid, have you found the ancient Heavenly Court?! Tell me now!”

…

Outside the temple.

Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe could not hear the conversation inside.

They didn’t have to wait long.

Lu Jiu’s voice came from inside the temple, “Come in.”

Upon hearing this, Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe stepped forward and entered the temple.

In the empty temple, only the golden statue of the god remained.

At the feet of the statue are two prayer cushions.

Lu Jiu had the two of them sit cross-legged on the futons.

“Next, you will undergo the tempering of your Dao heart, and at the same time you will have the opportunity to obtain the inheritance. How much you can obtain depends on your own destiny.”

Lu Jiu said this.

He brought the two of them to the temple specifically to give them an opportunity to temper their Daoist hearts.

In his view, there was no place in this Azure Realm more suitable for tempering one’s Dao heart than the temple.

The saying that one can receive my true teachings through three kneelings and nine prostrations is actually true.

But over the years, no one has been able to pass the test.

As for the golden statue, if it cannot pass the test, it is useless. It is because it is not capable enough, so its Dao heart is unstable, it has gone mad and it deserves to die!

For a long and long time.

His purpose in setting up the test was to find a suitable successor for himself.

However, thanks to Lu Jiu’s arrangements, Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe can directly undergo the test of their Dao heart. Even if they fail the test, they will not be in danger of losing their lives or going astray.

This is something the golden statue had already agreed to.

Seeing that Li Hanlu and Lu Changhe had already gotten into the zone.

Lu Jiu couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “The Ancient Heavenly Court… the Primordial Ancestral Ruins…”
