Chapter 322 Friend, Please Stay (2/2)

An analogy was that the world looked different to a kid and to an adult. Both were from two different worlds and hence it was hard to just lump them together.

Shen Lian felt slightly lost now. To achieve Dao's immortality was considered a great success, but for the next thousand and five hundred years, he had to go through three tragic trials. If he could not get passed them, immortality was just an empty talk.

If the immortal Zhenren had the trial of Dao, it was natural for a getaway to exist. However, other than some of the earth-shaking secret methods, others getaways could only be used to delay the time the trial arrived. There was no way one could avoid it entirely.

It would be fine if that was all. Now while Shen Lian had achieved the Dao of the Five Elements, but he had no idea what the next step was going to be. The Dao of the Five Elements was profound, and despite the fact that he could demystify all the techniques of immortal cultivators, but he only managed to scrape the surface of the Dao of the Five Elements. There were even more details to it, but he had to spend time discovering about it himself, and every new discovery would take a lot of time and effort.

It was no wonder that the celestials in the myths would decide to just retreat for up to a hundred years.

Shen Lian naturally did not have that much time to retreat and to understand Xuan, as ten years later it would be the time for the Bier Discourse of Dao.

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind as he rode the cloud. Nothing happened during the time.

This was because as he achieved immortality, he had an imposing aura which was let out slightly. The cultivating living creatures who detected it naturally stayed away. They dared not to get close.

He could keep the imposing aura under control, but Shen Lian was happy about it, just in case there was any issue.

The world was a huge place and there were a lot of cultivating living creatures. Some of the places had spirits of the masses who claimed to be the king of the mountain. They were tyrannical and they could not stand it if anyone flew past them.

Given that, there would definitely be issues.

Similar things happened frequently. Shen Lian could not be bothered to pretend he was not threatening, and hence he went by with his glory.

It had made a lot of cultivation living creatures to notice there was an immortal Zhenren passing by.

Shen Lian did not fly at full speed, and hence there were a few cultivators with spiritual wisdom who were following him with the intention to be his students along the way.

This was something common within the cultivation community of Yuan Continent. It was hard to find an authentic technique. The ways to achieve immortality were held by the four main Daoist sects. For the celestial sects, such as Green Lotus Sword Sect, Qingjiang Sword Sect which had produced immortal Zhenrens, while they had the authentic technique, it was too simplistic and was only suited to a small group of people.

For cultivators, a supreme technique was not even as precious as a suitable path to immortality.

Most cultivators did not know what was suitable for them.

Only deities who had the mental perception could easily tell the root of a living creature and hence give accurate advice.

In this world, for people to achieve Daoist immortality, compared to the vast number of cultivators, was a pitiful numbered few. Within Yuan Continent, there were only several tens of immortal Zhenrens whose names were known.

This was the accumulation of one to two thousand years.

One could imagine how difficult it was to achieve immortality.

While Shen Lian was not so stingy as to not spread Daoism to the boundless universe, but he would not simply teach others. It depended on whether there was destiny involved.

As he thought about it to pass time, he suddenly heard a phrase that went passed the wind and transmitted to his ears.

”Friend, please stay.”
