Mortal's journey to immortality

Seeing the skeleton's response, Wang Lu gradually calmed down his joy and said with a smile: "I won't tease you anymore. You are many times older than me, so it's no exaggeration to call you a senior. But in the world of immortal cultivation, everything is based on strength. Now let's talk about business. Do you know why I am chasing you so closely?"

This time the skeleton responded, shaking its head in confusion, its movements a little stiff.

"Well," Wang Lu nodded and continued, "Look carefully into my eyes and you will know the answer."

As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of light white mist rose in Wang Lu's pupils, and the skeleton was puzzled.

In an instant, the fog dissipated, and with a "crash", as if the wind and clouds suddenly changed, the temperature in the whole room suddenly dropped a little.

At this moment, the skeleton's eyes opened wide, as if it had seen something incredible.

Then, two small snowflakes fluttered gently in his eyes, and then large flakes of snow fell.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!"

When the skeleton saw this, it was as if some very ancient and distant memory was awakened. He immediately bowed his head and was about to kneel down on the ground to Wang Lu.

How could he make the skeleton kneel down? He raised one hand and an invisible force emerged. No matter how hard the skeleton tried, it just couldn't kneel down.

After trying for a few breaths, the skeleton gave up and suddenly turned into its normal size. It bowed deeply to Wang Lu, and then two flames emerged from its sunken eye sockets. The fire rose and burned fiercely.

"it is good!"

Wang Lu folded his arms across his chest, staring at the flames intently. Under his snow-white eyes, the burning flames kept decomposing into words that contained infinite mysteries. An article titled "Seeing Through Fire" was reflected in his heart from his eyes.

When the world was first created and all things began to take shape, a spark was born in the darkness and lit up the universe.

Fire illuminates the world with the force of a prairie fire. Fire is the source of all things and it awakens the spirits of all things. As long as the fire is not extinguished, the spirits will not be defeated.

The four directions and the upper and lower are the universe, the past and the present are the universe, remove the coarse and retain the fine, remove the false and retain the true, in the confusion and complexity, illuminate the ray of truth, it should be as clear as seeing through fire...

In this way, Wang Lu fell into a vast and grand idea that spanned the whole universe without realizing it.

Soon, three years passed by unknowingly.

The flames in the skeleton's eyes gradually weakened, and Wang Lu noticed it immediately. He flicked his finger and a drop of extracted milk was injected into its bones.

Whoosh, with this help, the skeleton's spirit was greatly boosted, and the flame became strong again.

Three years and three years, three years and three years, a full twenty-five years, when there was no more fire in the skull's eyes, he finally completed "Seeing Through Fire".

Wang Lu was still immersed in the endless mysteries and couldn't extricate himself. The skeleton seemed to have gained a lot as well, sitting cross-legged and meditating quietly.

Ten years passed in a flash, and Wang Lu, who was as still as a stone, finally woke up from his meditation.

He had been standing at this station for thirty-five years. He twisted his stiff neck, rolled his eyes, and simply stretched his limbs. He looked at the skeleton that was guarding him like a guard while he was still practicing. "Ah," he sighed with some reluctance.

Snow Eye is a heaven-defying existence that ranks third among the top ten spiritual eyes. Since ancient times, countless people have wanted to find Snow Eye. It is also coveted by many ultimate powerful beings, who will act at the slightest clue.

The skeleton has completed its mission, and its karma with him in this world has ended.

When he walks out of this room, the skeleton's memory of him will be erased silently and invisibly. This is a mysterious intuition.

There are too many people who covet Snow Eyes.

We can learn something from the owner of the South China Sea Corner and the one who established the Qizheng Secret Realm in Yinluanxuan.

In order not to expose her current weakness, the mysterious power that erased the skeleton's memory must have come from Xuetong herself.

Looking back now, things were far from as simple as he thought.

From the moment it first saw the Skeleton forty years ago, it did not run away, but instead, based on an indescribable inexplicable feeling, it intentionally or unintentionally led him around in a long circle, with the purpose of helping him find the ancient spiritual material.

Wang Lu’s heart skipped a beat. If that was the case, then the value of the ancient spiritual material would be too high.

It seems that we must use this thing with caution in the future. Perhaps it will become increasingly difficult to find, or perhaps, this thing will play a very important role in the future.

The skeleton did not hesitate to expose its relationship with him, as if even it itself did not understand why it did this and subconsciously wanted to help him.

Another point is that the speed of its "teleportation" was at least tens of thousands of miles, comparable to that of a teleportation array, and it should have been displayed to him unconsciously, hoping that he could gain something useful from it.

Why did Wang Lu have such a guess? Because no matter how fast he was, he could not outrun the skeleton. As long as it teleported continuously and exceeded a certain distance, he would lose the sense of it and would never find it again.

However, the skeleton did not do so, which means that the above speculation is almost correct.

Next, the skeleton saw that he had made a good harvest, so he followed him back to the cave with his head hung dejectedly.

However, it was not sure that it had snow eyes until it showed them. Then, under the control of some power, the skeleton fully revealed the "Seeing Through Fire" to him.

Alas, Xuetong, oh Xuetong, it is so tortuous and difficult to train you into a complete form.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

They have been together for forty years, which is even longer than the time I have been with Yaer.

Wang Lu smiled bitterly, feeling a little sad.

But then again, although the skeleton is very strong and its bones are as hard as steel, its intelligence is not high, which is proportional to its size. It is only about eight or nine years old.

Who wouldn't like such a pure, heartless and innocent strong man? No wonder he is recognized and loved by 90% of the celestial demons in the swamp.

Goodbye, cute and confused little skeleton. I hope we can meet again one day.

Oh, even if you forget me, how could I, Wang Lu, forget you?

Well, the problem is coming.

Why didn’t Xuetong, the “Flowers in the Mist” brought out by the Wu family, wipe them out?

That's because he came and went without a trace. No one in the Wu family, not even the patriarch Wu Dao, had ever seen him. Even Wu Dao didn't know what the use of "Seeing Flowers in the Mist" was.

Because of this, the Wu family was spared.

Fortunately, he and Wu Dao made the same choice as if they had telepathic connection. Although they were connected in some way, they turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to each other.

Of course, this is just his rough guess as to why the Wu family can continue, and there must be deeper reasons.

Throwing aside these unreasonable and sudden thoughts, Wang Lu took another look at the unaware skeleton, then left the cave with a smile.

"Wow..."

The moment he stepped out of the room, he felt the skeleton's body tremble slightly unconsciously.

At this point, he had found one third of the "Snow Eye Art" completely, and what awaited him was a long period of enlightenment and refinement.

At the same time, the other two snow tablets were waiting for his arrival somewhere in different time and space.

The story ends here for now.

However, has Wang Lu ever thought about why the two small fragments of Xuetong in "Seeing Flowers in the Mist" and "Seeing Through Fire" happened to appear in Zhongzhou instead of somewhere else?
