At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

Tongqu County.

Su Rui sat on the stone lion in front of the yamen gate and gnawed on a chicken leg in a very ungraceful manner. The chicken leg was greasy and gleamed with an attractive luster in the sun.

"Manners, where are your manners!"

The gray-haired Magistrate Su could not help but feel heartbroken when he saw his appearance. He snatched the stick from the gatekeeper and was about to teach his lazy second son a lesson.

Seeing this, Su Rui immediately jumped down from the stone lion and ran to the street outside while cursing: "Hey, Lao Su, the eldest brother has made it big, so you don't want me, the second brother, anymore?"

"Lao Su, let me tell you, I'm about to become an immortal. If you treat me well now, I'll take you to heaven in two days. What do you think? As the saying goes, when one person becomes an immortal, the whole family will also ascend to heaven..."

Magistrate Su had no intention of chasing him out, but when he heard what he said, he immediately got furious and shouted with his stick in hand, "You've been out there for so many years, but you haven't learned any other skills. All you've learned is bragging! I'll beat you to death today, you unfilial son..."

Captain Wu stepped forward with his sword in hand, looking at the father and son, and just smiled and shook his head. Now Wu Qianqian would occasionally come back to visit him, but when he asked about Su Rui's situation, Qianqian would blink and smile and say, "He has become an immortal!"

Seeing her expression, Captain Wu thought she was joking.

However, after Su Rui came back, Tongqu County has been flooded with mysterious masters from various sects. In the past, there were some martial artists and scoundrels who caused trouble in Tongqu County, but now the jails of the government have not received any money for a long time. It is no exaggeration to say that no one picks up anything on the road! Shi Yi also returned to Tongqu County and opened a martial arts school. He treated Su Rui as his father and served him. However, he was as troublesome as Su Rui. He did not get married or have children. His martial arts school was deserted and did not bring in much money. He had to go to his place for a meal! Thinking of Shi Yi, Wu's knife-holding hand could not help but feel itchy.

A few years later, Mrs. Su, the magistrate of Su County, finally died of old age. They were unwilling to follow Su Rui to the immortal world until their death, saying that it was not their life choice.

The departure of Magistrate Su and Madam Su was like two bright stars falling from the sky, completely cutting off Su Rui's desire to stay in the world.

……

On top of the Black Mountain, Sun Yanan, the daughter of the Black Mountain God, looked up at the red dragon struggling hard in the calamity clouds in the sky, feeling extremely envious.

Since Su Rui destroyed the "Shengtian League", he returned the Black Mountain Seal to him, allowing her to inherit her father's career and become the new Black Mountain God. But how can this mountain god compare to the gods in heaven?

Since Su Rui was weak, Chi Jiao has been following him through thick and thin, singing all the way. Now, as long as Chi Jiao survives this thunder tribulation, he will be able to ascend to the fairyland with Su Rui and become an immortal. How can she not be envious!

"Lord God, Qingcheng sent an invitation to us to go to Tongqu County on the night of the full moon on August 15th, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lord God Su is preparing to ascend to heaven!"

At this time, Jiji, the leader of the Thunder Monkey, appeared and presented a cloud card to Sun Yanan. At the same time, all the major righteous sects received the cloud card from the Qingcheng Sect.

……

On the fifteenth day of August, the moon was full, like a silver plate hanging in the sky.

Su Rui exuded a misty immortal aura, like a banished immortal who had descended to earth. Holding a little fox demon in his arms, he walked on the roof of the Tongqu County government office, one lotus flower at a time, stepping on the void.

On his wrist, there was a fiery red dragon, which was a red dragon that had survived the heavenly tribulation and achieved immortality. However, after becoming a real dragon, she was very lazy and did not want to show her figure when ascending, so she hung on Su Rui as a transparent pendant as before.

The originally dark night began to gradually become brighter after Su Rui's figure appeared on the roof. The moon seemed to be brought closer, and its outline became clearer. Even the osmanthus tree and the jade rabbit above became extremely clear. But no one knew where the fairy Chang'e had gone and why she disappeared.

Some sharp-eyed spectators saw that seven-colored clouds began to slowly appear in the void above Su Rui's head, and there seemed to be a fairy flying among the clouds.

As the sound of the heavenly drums vibrated, colorful rays of light began to emanate from Su Rui's body. The clouds in the sky also dropped golden flowers with Su Rui as the center. In the void, the sound of the great Dao could be heard faintly, as if praising Su Rui.

In the sky, Su Rui's figure was like a bright sun, emitting dazzling light, illuminating the entire Tongqu County. The fairy spirit emanating from his body rose like light smoke, blending with the clouds in the sky, forming a beautiful picture.

Above his head, seven-colored clouds slowly unfolded like a colorful painting. Each cloud shone with a different light, as gorgeous and dazzling as a rainbow. In the clouds, the goddesses dressed in colorful clothes danced gracefully, like a group of beautiful butterflies flying among the flowers.

As the drums sounded, the colorful rays of light emanating from Su Rui bloomed like fireworks, lighting up the entire night sky. The clouds in the sky also dropped golden smallpox with Su Rui as the center, like a golden rain, sprinkling in every corner of Tongqu County.

In the void, there was a faint sound of the immortal Dao, like a beautiful symphony, which made people intoxicated. The immortal sound seemed to be praising Su Rui, and it seemed to be celebrating his achievements. The whole Tongqu County was immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, and people knelt down and prayed devoutly.

An illusory gate suddenly appeared in the sky, emitting colorful light all around it. Layers of colorful cloud ladders spread down and stretched in front of Su Rui, like a rainbow bridge.

Looking at the fairy gate in the sky, Su Rui was about to move his feet when suddenly a loud bell rang from the west. The sound was like the sound of a Huangzhong Dalü, echoing between heaven and earth.

A golden cloud emitting infinite light appeared at the same height as the Immortal Gate. The light dissipated, revealing a temple door. Through the temple door, one could vaguely see that behind the door was a peaceful world of Buddha's light. A golden Buddha's hand stretched out from the depths of the temple door and extended to his feet. The palm lines of the Buddha's hand were clearly visible, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

The people watching the ceremony were stunned. The Buddhist world in the West was openly coming out to snatch people!

"Enter the Western Paradise and you will attain the fruition of the Sandalwood Buddha!"

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Su Rui's mind.

Su Rui shook his head. Even though the sandalwood Buddha statue he visualized in his Niwan Palace had condensed into a golden body and his Buddhist cultivation had reached the level of a bodhisattva, his foundation was not in Buddhism. Buddhism was just a seed he planted unintentionally on a whim, but he didn't expect it to bear fruit now.

"Thank you, Buddha! Becoming a Buddha is not my wish. I would rather become an immortal..."

Su Rui bowed towards the west and spoke in a resolute tone.

Then, he stepped onto the cloud ladder leading to the immortal gate.

Above the sky, there were sounds of gongs, drums and bells, heavenly music, and endless rosy clouds.

Su Rui held the little fox demon in his arms and disappeared step by step into the fairy gate in the clouds...
