To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck-Chapter 1574 - 613 Seeking the Path is Tough

Chapter 1574: Chapter 613 Seeking the Path is Tough

Though he was moved by Shi Junyang’s talent, luck, and the joy of an old friend still being alive,

Lu Yuan did not rush off in a flurry to see this friend.

True, the friend had invited him once thousands of years ago. But back then, he had foolishly refused, his wisdom from past lives yet unawakened.

But having once refused, it might as well be put off a little longer.

To them, Heavenly Immortals, a few thousand or even tens of thousands of years are but a meditation, a nap, the twinkling of an eye.

Just to know that the other is still alive is enough for them.

Knowing the road ahead still stretches on, and there are friends to accompany on the journey, a seeker of the Way does not feel alone.

Lu Yuan and Shi Junyang are not entangled in romantic affections; they do not insist on meeting, but simply yearn to advance together towards the Great Tao.

It has to be said, the path they have chosen is exceedingly rugged and fraught with hardship.

In his previous life, he returned to Donghua Continent, travelled widely, gathering over thirty like-minded individuals across several Region Continents, aiming for a realm beyond Heavenly Immortal.

At that time, dozens of Great True Persons gathered to discuss the mysteries of the Tao and revel in nature, contemplating heaven and earth – how carefree and at ease were they?

That was the most joyful period in Lu Yuan’s memory.

But as they progressed with no clear path, only a rough and uncertain trail remained, shrouded in the unknown.

Faced with such terror, the companions who had come together with shared aspirations for the Great Tao began to diverge, resulting in conflicts, disputes, and eventually parting ways.

In the end, less than a third, merely eleven remained steadfast with Lu Yuan to their original purpose.

And among these eleven seekers who pledged to reincarnate together, after countless trials and tribulations, only Lu Yuan and Shi Junyang have managed to return to Donghua Continent.

From over thirty companions to eleven, and then from eleven to two.

Especially considering these individuals were not merely Heavenly Immortals but Great True Persons revered in an entire continent.

The hardship and danger involved can only be imagined.

For Lu Yuan and Shi Junyang, seekers who have returned from such trials, their hearts are filled with even more solitude and sorrow.

The past glory now reduced to but one or two remainders; what profound loneliness and solitude must that be for seekers like them?

It was for this reason that after emerging from retreat and sensing Lu Yuan’s presence in the peaceful realm, Shi Junyang couldn’t help but lose his composure.

Without considering whether this friend had awakened his past wisdom and was still just a reincarnated being, he sent emissaries to Mi Yun Mountain, yearning to invite his old friend for a reunion.

This only shows the loneliness in his heart, and the cherishment and care for a fellow traveler so painstakingly found.

Subsequently, Dongyang Mountain’s cooperation with various actions from Taiping Dao, and even overtly and covertly, helping Taiping Dao fend off threats from other Heavenly Immortal sects outside the peaceful realm.

Initially, Lu Yuan had only thought it to be due to the cordial relationship between himself, Wang ShiZhou, and his disciple Li Ruoqing, that led these authorities of Dongyang Mountain to lend support.

But reflecting on it now, even if these two disciples were influential in Dongyang Mountain, such selfless aid to the extent of harming Dongyang Mountain’s interests on Taiping Dao’s behalf was not something they could cover up with their positions.

This reason alone could not silence the rest of Dongyang Mountain; there were other factions and powers in play there.

They wouldn’t just stand by and let such self-detrimental actions happen.

The only one who could silence all objections and willingly have Dongyang Mountain exert effort for Taiping Dao was none other than Shi Junyang, the true master and Great Immortal Grandmaster of Dongyang Mountain.

In the face of commands from a Great Immortal Grandmaster, all doubts and confusions aside, Dongyang Mountain could only obediently comply.

Further considering the timing, it seems that it was indeed after Shi Junyang’s emergence that Dongyang Mountain’s attitude towards Taiping Dao underwent a significant and rapid transformation.

Changing to what could be described as a dog-like devotion.

It’s hard to say that Shi Junyang had no influence in this.

The reason for Shi Junyang’s actions is quite understandable.

Protecting a friend who has yet to return from reincarnation, of course!

It was clear she had cried, her makeup was slightly messed up, with a subtle smoky look.

Her elegant aura was accompanied by a touch of decadence, giving her a unique beauty.

Back in the car, Liu Muxue’s expression calmed down, then she said, “Axing, take me back to the hotel.”

“Okay.”

Cao Xing nodded.

Just as he was about to start the car, everything suddenly went black.

Then, everyone heard a synthesized mechanical voice by their ears.

“The new version update of ‘Ice Seal Age’ is complete, officially opening the era of public testing. In a minute, all humans on Blue Star will enter this game.”

“Game instructions: This is a world where the sun does not shine. It is vast and boundless, but shrouded in cold all day. Your task is to survive in this world.”

“Once the game begins, you’ll appear next to a bonfire, your flame of survival. Remember! Do not leave the space illuminated by the firelight easily!”

The Immortal Realm thus becomes a prison, binding these True Persons, preventing them from transcending.

Under such circumstances, there is actually no significant conflict of interest between the Great True Persons.

There are no insurmountable knots that can’t be untied, no need to fight to the death over resources for cultivation.

Likewise, because they’ve lived so long and severed ties with worldly affections so thoroughly, it is also rare for them to harbor grudges against others due to personal relationships.
