Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

As a monk who practices the three paths of spirit, body and spirit, Zhou Yiqiao has not forgotten the reminder given to him by his senior brother Shen Kuo.

I went to visit him this time, firstly to inform my master that I was about to enter seclusion and enter the realm of Nascent Soul, and secondly, I wanted to seek a solution to the problem from my cheap master.

I walked to the White Bone Palace with random thoughts, and after reporting to the attendant serving Elder White Bone, I received the news that Elder White Bone was not in the palace.

"The elder said that if the Fifth Young Master wants to see him, he should go to the White Bone Cliff at the top of the Ten Thousand Bones Mountain to meet him."

The attendant who returned pointed to the mountains behind the Bone Palace and said to Zhou Yiqiao with great respect.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded. Although he was full of doubts, he didn't ask too much.

Since the master has an order, as a disciple you should obey it.

He cupped his hands towards the attendant and immediately walked towards the mountain.

White Bone Cliff is the pinnacle of the entire Ten Thousand Bones Mountain. Except for the White Bone Elders who practice here, very few people can get close to it.

Zhou Yiqiao climbed to the top of the peak and saw a black beam of light reaching into the sky from the clouds.

This black beam of light is ten feet tall, towering into the sky like a pillar of light.

The White Bone Elder was sitting in the center of the light pillar, standing in the sky, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao quickly knelt down on the ground.

"Disciple, please pay homage to your master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Skeleton's voice suddenly came.

"Get up."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao stood up, looked at Elder Bai Gu and asked.

"I wonder what the master has to say to my disciple today?"

Elder Baigu said after hearing this.

"Your qi has reached its peak. You must be here to seek a breakthrough from me on this trip."

"Master has a sharp eye, and this is indeed what I think."

Zhou Yiqiao replied respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai Gu pondered for a moment and then smiled lightly.

"Actually, the method is very simple. It just depends on whether you are willing to take the risk."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his face became solemn and he replied without hesitation.

"The journey to eternal life is to compete with heaven. If you don't even have this courage, how can you achieve the great road? Isn't it ridiculous?"

"In this case, my teacher will tell you how to do it."

Elder Baigu's eyes slowly scanned Zhou Yiqiao, as if he wanted to see a trace of panic or hesitation on the other person's face.

Zhou Yiqiao's expression was calm and not afraid at all.

Seeing this, Elder Bai Gu nodded slightly and said.

"Seeing through the mortal world and not caring about life and death, as long as you can always maintain this desire to seek the Tao, even if you don't have the chance to follow the Taoist lineage, your future path of spiritual practice will definitely be smooth."

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head quickly.

"Master, it is a great opportunity for a disciple to worship you."

Elder Bai Gu laughed loudly after hearing this and said.

"You little guy is also aware of people's emotions."

"Okay, don't talk to me anymore. Just listen."

Elder Baigu paused, stared into Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, and spoke slowly.

"The method to crack it is neither difficult nor simple. If you want to understand the three avenues of spirit, body, and spirit, you only need to break through in the magic bay."

As he spoke, Elder Baigu also pointed at the top of the black light pillar where he was.

At the top of the black light pillar, there is an entrance to the passage. The entrance is scarlet, like a ferocious mouth, as if it wants to swallow everything.

"The reason why it is difficult for monks in the three realms to conceive babies is because most monks can only comprehend one of the three great ways from the time they pass through the tribulation to the time they break the elixir and become a baby."

"There are countless demons in the Demonic Bay, and the evil energy covers the sky and the sun. It is so strong that even the law of heaven will be temporarily blinded."

"This means that as long as you choose to break through in the Demon Bay, you can greatly delay the time for the Dan to become an infant, giving you enough time to understand the great road."

Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help frowning after hearing what Elder Baigu said.

"My disciple is stupid. Please tell me, Master, what are the risks of breaking through into the Demon Bay?"

Elder Baigu was startled when he heard this, then laughed and praised.

"Be cautious and don't rush for quick success, that's good."

"This Demon Bay is its own entity and is not part of the Tianchen Realm."

"It is said that in ancient times, the resources for cultivating immortals in the Tianchen Realm were extremely rich. There was once a sect that gave birth to five Mahayana monks at the same time."

"The consumption of resources by the five Mahayana monks has reached a terrifying level. After some discussion, they decided to work together to capture a small world rich in resources from outside the Tianchen world."

"And that small world is now the Magic Bay."

At the end of his speech, Elder Skeleton's tone became particularly solemn.

"But for some reason, the news of the small world spread throughout the Tianchen Realm after the five powerful men captured it, attracting a joint siege from many sects."

"In that battle, the sky fell and the earth fell, corpses were everywhere, the casualties were tragic, and blood flowed everywhere. As many as six monks in the Mahayana realm were killed or injured."

"After this battle, the spiritual power of the small world collapsed, evil spirits were everywhere, and there was no hope of the past."

"After each sect plundered all the resources in the small world, they completely abandoned it."

"Although the souls have left, the ghosts of many monks are still hovering in the small world."

"Countless years of grievances, even though there are grievances that remain in the small world, they have turned into ghosts and monsters, and the small world has become the Demon Bay it is today."

After listening to Elder Skeleton's story, Zhou Yiqiao felt deeply shocked on his face.

Elder Bai Gu continued to speak.

"If you choose to break through in the Demon Bay, the avenue you comprehend will inevitably be mixed with a trace of the residual energy of the ghost monster."

"Although this trace of residual Qi is very small, if you want to completely eliminate them, it will take a lot of time in the future."

"Your senior brother is the Nascent Soul realm who broke through in the Demon Bay. Now he has been unable to break through the realm of refining the void because there is still a trace of impurities in his path that has not been eliminated."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly realized.

There were only two paths before him now.

Either enter the Demon Bay to advance to the Nascent Soul, and then spend a lot of time sorting out the remnants of the demonic energy in the avenue.

Or continue to suppress your own cultivation and find another illusory but more appropriate way to break through.

Zhou Yiqiao had a battle between heaven and man in his mind. After a long time, he looked at Elder Skeleton with great solemnity and asked aloud.

"Disciple, if you don't understand something, please ask Master to clarify your doubts."

"Can the demonic energy mixed in Senior Brother's Dao be exorcised?"

Hearing this, Elder Bai Gu smiled faintly and said.

"That's of course. Although the demonic energy is overbearing and violent and difficult to peel off, your senior brother has been in seclusion for hundreds of years and has already peeled off half of it."

After hearing the affirmative answer, Zhou Yiqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked directly into Elder Bai Gu's eyes, and spoke firmly.

"This disciple is willing to go to the Demon Bay and break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"
