Mortal's journey to immortality

"Senior Wang, you... made a fool of yourself."

It took Zhou Xue half a cup of tea to recover from the sadness and helplessness. She fixed her makeup and felt embarrassed when she saw Wang Lu staring at her intently as if he was daydreaming.

Her pretty face was flushed red as if water was about to drip out.

Wang Lu was delighted and thought to himself, women really change in an instant. She was tearful a moment ago, but now she acts as if nothing happened.

He smiled and said, "I heard that you and Zhou Mu were born with a pair of magical twin eyes, which have the magical power to seize the creation of heaven and earth. I wonder if it is true or not?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xue's heart sank. Could it be that Wang Lu saved her because of her twin spiritual eyes? She unconsciously became nervous again.

However, on second thought, it’s not.

If he wanted to peek into the secret of her eyes, with his unfathomable strength and various mysterious methods, there would be no chance for him to stand in front of him alive, and when she was sad and painful, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

His question was just to change the subject and let himself get over the knot in his heart.

After realizing this, Zhou Xue relaxed again.

Hmm, that’s strange, how did he know that I was Zhou Xue?

You have to know that these twin sisters are almost identical and difficult to tell apart from each other. Even many of their fellow disciples in the Tianfu Sect who are on good terms with them are often confused and cannot recognize them clearly.

So he answered the question irrelevantly, and asked with big curious eyes: "How did you know that I am my elder sister Zhou Xue?"

"Haha, this question is very simple. According to information from all sides that Yin Luanxuan has gathered, you used the Mountain Protection Array and the Twin Buds Array to teleport yourself to Qingjiang, 100,000 miles away, at the moment the formation was broken. Unfortunately, Qingjiang is the birthplace of your Tianfu Sect's giant spiritual vein. Not only is the spiritual energy extremely rich, but it is also a precious medicine garden that your sect values ​​very much. Naturally, it could not escape the crazy plundering of the outer monks. And your luck was really bad. You were sent into the tiger's den just after you got out of the wolf's den. You fought repeatedly and finally escaped death. Since then, you have been lost and disappeared. Even Yin Luanxuan wanted to find you and bring you into the sect, but he could not find you."

Zhou Xue was stunned by these words. It was as if Yin Luanxuan had seen it with his own eyes. He not only figured out how she escaped from the Tianfu Sect, but also knew so clearly about her experiences after her escape. No wonder they could become the only force in this world that spans five domains.

What surprised her even more was that for a little-known cultivator like herself, Wang Lu, who had killed Lord Shenfu and defeated Master Tianfu, an unparalleled powerful man, actually cared so much about her. Could it be that he knew about that matter?

Seeing the other person's half-smile, Zhou Xue suddenly felt very happy.

Yes, with Senior Wang's great magical powers, he knew with a little thought that only the two sisters who presided over the Tianfu Sect's formation and constructed the Twin Formation were the ones who could lend a helping hand to him.

Zhou Xue bowed and said sadly: "Senior, I... Actually... I should have gone to hell with the destruction of Tianfu Sect. Because of my sister and I, the Bingdi Jianzhen killed too many innocent people. We were the damned accomplices. Later I heard that we helped them to do evil and turned them into human puppets that were hated by both humans and gods. If we knew that Tianfu Sect was doing such cruel things to poison lives, we would not contribute even a little bit of our strength even if we died."

Zhou Xue spoke with sobs, tears falling silently once again.

Wang Lu sighed secretly, thinking that the decline in Zhou Xue's cultivation might have a lot to do with her endless regret.

Mental illness is the most difficult to cure. Even if she is rescued, her cultivation can be restored and even improved over time. However, when she faces the divine tribulation, the omnipresent extraterritorial demon will seize the guilt and regret in her heart and use her as a substitute.

If she cannot resolve her inner demons, it will be harder than ascending to heaven to break through the barrier of transformation into a god and make her way on.

He took over the conversation, smiled slightly, and asked: "My friend, do you know the three thousand great ways?"

Zhou Xue asked suspiciously: "Well, why did you suddenly mention this, Senior?"

Wang Lu smiled and did not give a direct answer. He said, "I heard that the number of great ways is not just three thousand but countless. As the old saying goes, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. So the number three represents countless, and the number of great ways, three thousand, also indicates that the number of great ways is as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River, too numerous to be measured."

"what!"

She had never heard such profound principles before, and they involved the most mysterious truth. Zhou Xue's attention and depressed mood were instantly diverted, and she exclaimed.

Wang Lu smiled and continued, "It is said that the first eleven of the three thousand great ways are the cause and effect ways, but from ancient times to the present, it is rare to hear of anyone ascending this way. Yes, everything has a cause and an effect, just like those people who were deceived by the Tianfu Master and the Tianfu Sect to Qingyang Mountain and refined into human puppets by various means. If they did not have other intentions, would they be deceived so easily? The reason is not due to outsiders or things, but to themselves. If they are wholeheartedly good, dedicated to seeking the Tao, and have no external things in their hearts, any extravagant promises and oaths will hardly move them. Becoming a human puppet or a miserable You died tragically, it was all self-destruction. With the fall of Tianfu Sect, all the causes and effects have been swept away by the torrent of time and no longer exist. Think about it, if you really committed a heinous crime, would your conscience let you go, would the people of the world let you go, would the way of heaven let you go? You would have died in the first hunt, how could you have survived all these years intact. So Zhou Xue, you don’t need to blame yourself, the past cannot be pursued, let alone trapped, yesterday and tomorrow are just illusions, far away, your present is the most important and bright and moving. "

After hearing Wang Lu's circuitous but thought-provoking words, Zhou Xue suddenly woke up, the melancholy in her eyes disappeared, and she was filled with confidence again.

She clenched her fists and said with emotion: "Thank you for your help and care. I will definitely regain my strength and strive to be the best."

"Ah."

Wang Lu nodded secretly. Although he had tried every possible means and his words, which had some loopholes, finally changed Zhou Xue's habitual thinking, the regrets of more than two hundred years had already penetrated deep into her bones. His strong medicine certainly had an immediate and direct effect, but if she wanted to completely eliminate it, she had to understand and think about it herself.

All he could do was to take her away from Zhongzhou safely and give her a training environment where she would no longer be afraid. Only when she made a breakthrough in her training could her confidence be gradually restored. Only then could she be truly reborn.

Ha, actually, he also has his own little plan. If he places Zhou Xue in their South China Sea Alliance, the strength of the South China Sea Alliance will soar.

Not only did they save her and complete the cause and effect, but the South China Sea Alliance also gained tremendous benefits. Isn't this the best of both worlds? It couldn't be better.

You know, even Yin Luanxuan was clinging to Zhou Xue, the girl with the unique twin eyes, but he found her without any effort.

Thinking of this, Wang Lu couldn't help but feel happy.
