I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Chapter 223: The Illusion Array Refines the Heart



Kunlun Cave Heaven.

The faint light shimmered, and the fortune-telling Daoist landed on the ground.

Looking up, he saw the Heaven-reaching Divine Wood, as well as the little Daoist boy nodding off beneath the tree, affirming the tales from the mundane world.

"This is the Heaven-reaching Divine Wood? Legend has it that by climbing it, one could enter the World of Immortals and Gods!"

Just as the Daoist was about to step forward and speak, another dozen or so rays of light flickered, and the Straw Raincoat Guest and others entered the Cave Heaven one after another.

"Alliance Hierarch, you've also come in?"

"The immortals did not forbid it."

The Straw Raincoat Guest surveyed the Kunlun Wonderland, the dense white fog swirling all around. As he inhaled, he felt the mysterious aura enter his meridians and viscera, slightly bolstering his Qi-Blood.

"Indeed, an Immortal Realm, where even breathing makes one stronger!"

The Spirit Ginseng child heard the murmurs, slowly opened his eyes, yawned, and spoke.

"You've come at an inopportune time. The immortal elder is in secluded cultivation. You can practice nearby, go to the Scripture Pavilion to study the scriptures, and if there are any matters, come and ask poor Dao."

The Straw Raincoat Guest bowed and asked, "Esteemed immortal elder, how may you be addressed?"

"I am Spirit Ginseng, not worthy of the title 'immortal elder.'"

Hearing the words 'immortal elder,' Spirit Ginseng's eyes visibly brightened with joy. "You, with your bushy eyebrows and big eyes, look quite fortunate. You could achieve great things in the future!"

"Thank you for your praise, immortal elder. The younger one is Ye Yun."

Having risen from a fisherman to his current position, Ye Yun had long since learned to observe words and expressions. He said respectfully, "May I ask how long the immortal elder's secluded cultivation will take?"

"You most likely will not be able to wait."

Spirit Ginseng explained, "The immortal elder's secluded cultivation lasts at least several decades or hundreds of years, and at most several hundred or even a thousand years."

The group showed disappointment upon hearing this, but then quickly realized that being able to enter Kunlun was already a great opportunity.

With such a destiny, the Red Alliance is bound to achieve great things!

"You may cultivate in Kunlun Mountain for a year. You can stay in the rooms on either side of the Daoist temple and must not make any loud noises. As for food, you will need to prepare it yourself."

Spirit Ginseng took pots, pans, ladles, spoons, and several bags of grain, flour, meat, and vegetables out of his sleeves.

"Come find poor Dao for more when you have finished these. There's no need to be frugal. Originally, you could have eaten Spirit Rice, but due to some ineffective individual, you will have to make do with common food."

"Thank you, immortal elder!"

Everyone bowed and after gathering to discuss for a moment, those not interested in the martial way took charge of reciting scriptures. People like Ye Yun and Bai Shiyu practiced the martial way day and night.

A year of arduous cultivation passed in the blink of an eye.

Spirit Ginseng was not accustomed to seeing so many people, and without the constraints of Zhou Yi, he had become much more unrestrained.

That day,

after everyone finished their martial practice near the Heaven-reaching Divine Wood, they sat around Spirit Ginseng, listening to its tales of amusing ancient times.

The Cultivation World was already detached from the mundane, and after nine hundred years of obliteration, after countless generations of mortal population changes, it had become ancient peculiar news to ordinary people.

Spirit Ginseng mixed truth with fiction, describing Kunlun as the ancestral pulse of the Nine Continents, and added many tales from the storybooks, making it sound truly imaginative and mysterious.

Among them were five members of the Red Alliance, with pen and paper in hand, recording every word.

Once the Red Alliance succeeds, this will be their cultural heritage!

Boasting, Spirit Ginseng said, "Although the Dan Ding Sect is not comparable to Kunlun, it is also a great teaching of ten thousand years. To enter the sect, one must undergo an Illusion Array trial. Inside the illusion, one tastes all kinds of temptations. Once indulged, one loses the chance for immortality..."

"Immortal elder, I seem to have heard this before."

Bai Shiyu, scratching his ears and cheeks, said, "A few years ago, I read a storybook titled 'Legend of the Three Heroes,' where it was written just like this."

"Of course, do you know the author of that book?"

Spirit Ginseng, always unable to help feeling elated upon hearing 'immortal elder,' smiled and explained, "The Pure True Monarch is no ordinary man, but a real practitioner of the Way. While he is naturally indifferent, he particularly likes mundane storybooks. Hence, he personally wrote this book."

Ye Yun inquired, "Immortal elder, so there truly exist such Trial Formations in the world?"

"That is indeed so."

Spirit Ginseng declared, "Such trivial techniques for refining the heart, there are no less than a hundred recorded in the Scripture Pavilion's Daoist texts. Poor Daoist can easily create one for you."

Ye Yun fell silent for a long while before bowing and saying, "I request that the immortal elder perform the heart-refining spell!"

"Spirit-refining techniques are not like the ordinary ones. They delve straight into the depths of the soul, and their effects are influenced by the strength of the spirit. It's a hundred times more difficult for ordinary people than for cultivators."

Spirit Ginseng spoke solemnly, "Back then, many talented Loose Cultivators with unyielding determination failed on the path of heart refinement. If you cannot pass it, though there won't be substantial harm, you also..."

"Originally, I came from a family of fishermen, all I wanted was to seek justice for the common folk." Explore more stories at empire

Ye Yun spoke firmly, "Now that I have obtained the Immortal Scriptures of Kunlun, all I wish for is universal peace in this world. The difficulty is as daunting as turning the sky and earth upside down. If I cannot get through the heart refinement, I am willing to step down as the Alliance Hierarch!"

"Leader!"

"Elder Brother Ye!"

Hearing this, the group was greatly shocked. The Ye Yun established Red Alliance was comparable to the core founding patriarch.

"Do not persuade me further."

Ye Yun continued, "I ask the immortal to perform the spell!"

"With such determination! There is one in billions who can pass the Spirit-Refining Formation. Poor Dao shall grant you an opportunity!"

Applauding, Spirit Ginseng took out an Array Plate from his sleeve, set it up around Ye Yun, and activated the Formation and Prohibition with a spell.

Within the formation,

Ye Yun's vision darkened, and when he reopened his eyes, he was at sea with his father's urging voice in his ear.

"Ye Yun, the Sea Dragon King is coming. Hurry back to the shore."

"Okay."

Ye Yun responded, feeling as if he had forgotten something very important, yet he couldn't remember what it was.

In the outside world,

everyone saw Ye Yun sitting in the encompassing radiant light, his expression constantly changing.

Confusion, fear, regret, despondency, pride, and even greed...

After about an hour.
