To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 753: Chapter 330: Where Does Youdu Come From?_3

This brought him immense fame. However, it naturally also gave rise to a number of negative effects.

The advantage was that those who heard the news now had a better outlook on the future of Chu State after realizing the extraordinary value of a Dao master.

With the hopes and aspirations of countless people, Chu State’s Qi Luck naturally rose by the day.

The disadvantage, on the other hand, resulted from the formidable strength of Lu Yuan, which made the nearby hostile forces and individuals increasingly numerous.

Take Ning Country for instance. Shen Qiu had originally planned for ten years of recuperation and ten more years of preparation for war to restore Ning Country’s strength to its peak and retrain an army of 600,000 soldiers.

However, less than ten years later, Ning Country achieved what was originally a twenty-year plan, not only expanding its army to 600,000 soldiers but also cultivating two Inborn Grandmasters.

As of now, they plan to expand the army by 200,000 more and cultivate a few more Inborn Grandmasters.

Many changes have occurred during this period, largely due to the drastic change in The world’s circumstances and the pressure brought about by Chu State’s continual advancement.

However, it would be hard for anyone to believe there were no factors related to fears of Lu Yuan’s strength involved.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Forget about Ning Country.

Even Zhou Country and Liang Country, which have been making significant moves in recent years, it’s hard to say whether this was not due to great pressure from the presence of a Dao master in The world’s power struggle.

In short, this news had both good and bad effects.

However, whichever it was, Lu Yuan could not decide on his own.

But he had prepared to deal with the results brought about by these news.

After all, with his strength and setting aside Chu State, no one in The world could pose a threat to Lu Yuan. He was born to be invincible.

If that’s the case, what could rumours do to me?

Just as Jinyun asked him right now, he directly admitted it.

However, Lu Yuan’s unruffled attitude took Jinyun by surprise.

But considering the strength of the present King of Chu and the prosperous state of Chu in the recent years, he quickly understood.

So he skipped over this part and got to the point: “Now that Your Majesty has condensed the Qi and accomplished the Immortal Method, you should have also become aware of the conditions Between Heaven and Earth, where spiritual energy is nearly exhausted and hard to find.”

‘Is he going to bring up the Age of Dharma Decline?

Lu Yuan wondered. Although he knew quite a bit about this topic, Jinyun’s serious approach gave him the impression that he had not come just to discuss some old tales, which piqued his curiosity. So he nodded and said, “Indeed, these recent years of cultivation have given me a profound understanding of it. Being in such a Heaven and Earth makes one feel as if they are drowning in a lake and struggling to breathe.”

He finished with a vivid metaphor.

It indeed struck a chord with Jinyun, “Your Majesty is right, we’re like being in a deep lake, drowning and struggling for air.

But does Your Majesty know why the spiritual energy we breathe is becoming less and less in this deep lake?”

Lu Yuan paused for a moment before answering, “I have heard a rumor that our Nine Provinces’ world and the Upper Realm Immortal Realm were originally interconnected. And the spiritual energy of the Nine Provinces flowed from the Immortal Realm.

This passage is known as the gateway to Beiming Youdu.

But now, as Beiming Youdu has closed and the Immortal Realm is no longer transmitting spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in our world becomes more and more sparse. Little by little, it has been exhausted by practitioners, resulting in the current Age of Dharma Decline.”

When Jinyun heard Lu Yuan’s response, he looked at him in surprise, then laughed and said, “It is widely rumored that Your Majesty has inherited the Dao from Sun Zhenren, Sun Qingyi, a hundred years ago.

In his time, Sun Zhenren had sought out the immortal sects of the Nine Provinces to find a solution to the Age of Dharma Decline. And this includes the secrets of Beiming Youdu.

He even sailed the seas in search of it toward the end.

Now seeing Your Majesty’s deep understanding of Beiming Youdu, it seems the rumors must be true.”

Jinyun mentioned Sun Qingyi and took this opportunity to open the conversation, going on to say, “However, Your Majesty, although you have learned some secrets about Beiming Youdu from Sun Zhenren’s inheritance, there are still deeper secrets that you may not know about.

For example, besides being the passage to the Immortal Realm, how did this gateway between the realms, Beiming Youdu, come about?

What should one do if they want to go to the Immortal Realm through Beiming Youdu?

What influence does the current Age of Dharma Decline have on Beiming Youdu?

With all these secrets, surely Sun Qingyi would have left some records behind, wouldn’t he?”

Jinyun looked at Lu Yuan with profound meaning, hinting at something.

Lu Yuan’s expression changed slightly. He said respectfully, “I indeed do not know these things, and I’m hoping for Fellow Daoist to enlighten me.”

He knew that since Jinyun had brought this up, he must have had some purpose for these secrets.

As expected, as soon as he cooperated and asked, Jinyun immediately stroked his beard and said, “Your Majesty can rest assured. Since I have brought this up, I have no intention of hiding anything. I was going to tell Your Majesty about it. Just hear me out.

Firstly, the question of how Beiming Youdu, as the portal between the realms, came about.

In fact, Beiming Youdu is essentially a large teleportation array.

In ancient times, an Immortal from the Upper Realm broke through the barrier, entered our Nine Provinces, and brought the first wisp of spiritual energy with him.

Then the Immortal descended to the world, taught Immortal Techniques in the Nine Provinces, and spread the Dao Inheritance.

As the Dao Inheritance spread, more and more people in the Nine Provinces began to practice the Immortal Method. Over time, the bit of the spiritual energy the Immortal brought could no longer meet the increasing needs of the practitioners.

To solve this problem, the Immortal who had come to the world joined hands with others and altogether constructed a large teleportation array that linked the two realms, which they named Beiming Youdu.

Once Beiming Youdu was established, it directly connected to the Immortal Realm, turning the teleportation array into a continuous transmission channel, allowing a continuous stream of spiritual energy from the Immortal Realm to be transported to the Nine Provinces.

This is the origin of Beiming Youdu.

Thanks to the maintenance by the Immortal and the supply of spiritual energy from the Immortal realm, this teleportation array could continue to operate.

This answers the first question.”
