Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 68 Fearless Even in Death

Lu Jiu never figured out the exact origins of the old bald man at the Green Mountain Temple.

The innate secret technique of the Seventh Sense also had no effect on this old bald man, after all, this old Bi Deng was at least a True Immortal level existence.

If not for the seal imposed by the Green Mountain Temple, this old bald man’s strength would be unimaginably powerful.

Clues revealed in the old bald man’s few words.

Lu Jiu guessed that Bai Su’s identity in ancient times might be somewhat extraordinary.

According to the old bald man, punishments were very severe in ancient times. If an immortal violated the heavenly rules, he would either have his cultivation abolished and be demoted to a mortal, or be sent to the execution platform and die!

Those who break the heavenly rules are merely suppressed and sealed away; only those with powerful backers receive such treatment.

Bai Su was just unlucky. She only needed to be suppressed for 100,000 years, but the shattering of the ancient wilderness came too suddenly, so she was forcibly suppressed and sealed for 1.93 million years!

At the same time, Lu Jiu also learned an important piece of information.

Those transcendent beings who reached the level of proving the Dao and severing the three corpses in the ancient primordial era all went to the Primordial Ruins!

What profound meaning is hidden in this?

Lu Jiu had been wandering around the Primordial Ruins for at least tens of thousands of years, yet he was unaware that the path above True Immortal was the one that required attaining the Dao and severing the Three Corpses.

The Beidou Immortal Palace, which is about to reappear in the world, was once ruled by Beidou Immortal Venerable, who was one of the transcendent beings who had reached the level of attaining enlightenment and severing the three corpses.

“Legend has it that the Celestial Venerable of the Big Dipper possesses a supreme treasure! Even the Jade Emperor, who rules the primordial world, covets it!”

The old bald man rarely shared anything useful, and he pretended to wipe his drool as if to say, “It’s a pity I can’t go. If you go and manage to get that treasure, you’ll be incredibly awesome!”

“I’m only telling you about clues that involve taboo subjects because we’re close; I wouldn’t tell anyone else!”

“Furthermore, the most famous aspect of the Northern Dipper Immortal Venerable is his extreme speed! He is known as the fastest person in the ancient primordial era! If you can obtain this inheritance, it will be extraordinary!”

“Extreme Speed?”

Lu Jiu couldn’t help but think of his Aurora Speed ​​Body. Could the so-called Extreme Speed ​​of the Big Dipper Immortal Venerable also be a great supernatural power derived from his possession of the Aurora Speed ​​Body after cultivating to a certain level?

…

After returning from the Green Mountain Temple, Lu Jiu used his seventh sense to make deductions.

Based on known clues and information about the past, and considering one’s current situation, cultivation level, strength, and other factors, one analyzes the present and calculates possible future events.

However, Lu Jiu was destined to gain nothing.

After all, the cause and effect involved were too great. The Big Dipper Immortal Palace was once the Daoist temple of a Daoist who had attained the Dao, which was beyond the scope of his seventh sense.

“Master Lu, my master wishes to see me.”

Li Hanlu came to Lu Jiu’s place and mentioned that her master in Yaochi had sent a message, wanting to pay her respects to Senior Lu Jiu.

After Lu Jiu nodded in agreement.

Ji Bingyan arrived at the Lu family through an ancient teleportation array and met Lu Jiu, maintaining her usual respectful attitude.

“I already know why you’ve come.”

Before Ji Bingyan could speak, Lu Jiu slowly said, “Deep within your Yaochi Holy Land, there is an old woman who is sealed away. Does she want to go to the Immortal Palace?”

Ji Bingyan was surprised that Lu Jiu already knew her intentions before she even revealed them, and couldn’t help but marvel at this mysterious and unpredictable senior, who was truly omnipotent.

“Yes, senior.”

Ji Bingyan explained, “That was the patriarch’s only disciple. He was tricked when he was undergoing the ninth tribulation. Although he survived, his foundation was damaged, so he had no hope of undergoing the tenth tribulation.”

“For many years, the patriarch traveled far and wide, even venturing into the void to seek opportunities, but he still could not find a solution.”

“The immortality technique passed down by our predecessors is indeed incredibly profound, but it has no effect on that ancestor.”

“Now that the ancient immortal palace has appeared, there may be opportunities within it, so…”

Yun Mengxi’s apprentice?

Lu Jiu originally didn’t want to get involved in this kind of thing.

After all, the path of cultivation is about fighting against fate. If you couldn’t overcome it, then that’s your fate.

Even though the Jade Pool Holy Land possesses the Heaven-Returning Creation Pill, the old woman still couldn’t recover her damaged foundation, indicating that her injuries were exceptionally severe.

Ordinary opportunities and good fortune are clearly not enough to restore her; the only hope lies in a divine intervention.

“She has sealed herself away, shielded herself from the secrets of heaven, and has survived to this day on a lingering breath. If she were to step out and not recover, she would have no choice but to pass away peacefully.”

Lu Jiu said this.

Concealing heavenly secrets is no easy task, and the Jade Pool Holy Land paid a heavy price for it.

However, if you block it once, it’s fine. But if the heavens discover you, trying to block it again is tantamount to going against the heavens, and a lightning tribulation even more terrifying than the tenth tribulation will arrive in an instant.

“The Ancestor understands this as well, but the Ancestor has already made a decision. As long as the Senior agrees, she is willing to go with the Senior, and her life or death is up to fate!”

“Oh? She trusts me quite a bit, but I have no confidence at all. After all, I don’t know if there is such a predestined connection in that celestial palace.”

Lu Jiu had no recollection of Yun Mengxi’s apprentice.

She must have been a disciple of Yun Mengxi after the ancient times.

The reason the other party trusted him so much was because he had opened the divine array left by Yun Mengxi, because even she, his only disciple, could not open that divine array.

“Alright, I was originally planning to go alone, but since she’s not afraid of dying, she can come along if she wants.”

Upon seeing Lu Jiu’s agreement, Ji Bingyan immediately took her leave to deliver the news to the old ancestor.

After Ji Bingyan left.

Li Hanlu suddenly spoke up, “Master Lu, could you take me with you?”

“You want to go too?”

Lu Jiu looked at her and said, “This is not a place like the Ancient Demon Realm. Even I wouldn’t dare say that I could leave that immortal palace unscathed.”

Upon hearing this, Li Hanlu couldn’t help but smile, her smile bright and captivating. “Then why did you go, knowing the danger, senior?”

This made Lu Jiu laugh as well.

Yes, knowing there’s danger, why go?

The path of cultivation is to contend with fate.

Some people are extremely cautious, like Cang Qingzi, who is extremely careful to survive. For him, living is the most important thing, and he would never easily put himself in danger.

But some people forge ahead fearlessly, advancing with courage and determination, holding onto the path of life and death, facing either death or life.

Lu Jiu undoubtedly belongs to the latter category.

The fact that Li Hanlu could ask such a question shows that she also has such a Daoist heart.

“Having no fear in one’s heart is both a good thing and a bad thing. Most geniuses die prematurely because of such a heart.”

“The Celestial Palace will be open for some time. Think it through before you speak.”

Lu Jiu said this.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

The illusory image of the celestial palace deep in the void is already very close to solidifying.

Lu Jiu also prepared to set off into the void, since the distance to the depths of the void was not short.

Li Hanlu remained steadfast in her choice.

Xu Huanhuan even came to join in the fun.

Bai Su stretched out her fair and jade-like hands to straighten Lu Jiu’s clothes, her voice soft and charming, “Wherever Master goes, I will go; I have no fear of death.”
