“”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After taking several deep breaths, Lu Yuan suppressed the agitation in his heart and looked at Anqiu, asking solemnly, “What does True Person want me to do?”
Anqiu came to his door, offering to give him the Immortal Technique.
It seemed to be a great thing, but Lu Yuan couldn’t believe that the other party was here to show kindness.
There is no love in the world without reason.
The other party was willing to give out the Immortal Technique, even without using the Blessed Lands and Cavern Heavens, no matter how he looked at it, there were problems.
So, even though Lu Yuan’s heart was moved, he dared not agree without asking.
Without asking the other party’s purpose, he dared not taste this seemingly delicious sweetness.
“Poor Daoist does not need Taoist Lu to do anything,” Anqiu said with a smile.
However, upon hearing this, Lu Yuan became even more uneasy.
The most expensive one is always the free one.
What is it about giving out an Immortal Technique without asking for anything that doesn’t seem right?
“Isn’t True Person joking?” Lu Yuan’s tone was calm.
“I know what Fellow Daoist is thinking, but don’t be in a hurry. Listen to what I have to say.”
Anqiu knew what Lu Yuan was worried about, and at this moment, he shook his head and then said leisurely, “Indeed, this Immortal Technique can be given to Fellow Daoist for free, without the need for you to do anything. However, there are some shortcomings in practicing this technique.” Lu Yuan frowned: “Shortcomings?
Anqiu nodded and said, “Yes, shortcomings. I don’t know if Fellow Daoist remembers the Taiping Dao Rebellion in Jianan Prefecture at the end of the 28th year of Longqing?”
Lu Yuan said, “I remember that when Chi Mingzhu rebelled, it was the first time for us in Da Yue to rebel, and since then, there have been frequent uprisings in various places.”
At the end of the twenty-eighth year of Longqing, Chi Mingzhu, the founder of
Taiping Dao in Jianyang Mansion of Jianan Prefecture, pretended to be the Red Sun Immortal, and led tens of thousands of followers to rebel in the name of the decadent court and the imminent collapse of the Yue Dynasty.
Within a short period of half a month, he had captured cities and broken counties, occupying the two prefectures’ lands and launching the first rebellion in Da Yue.
It was under the influence of Taiping Dao that various prefectures in Da Yue began to have people come forward to rebel.
However, the so-called first rebels to die were the pioneers for the king.
The first one to take the lead, Taiping Dao, soon received a thunderous blow from the Da Yue court.
Marquis of Wuan Bai Mengyang led a hundred thousand troops to Jianan
Prefecture to suppress the rebellion, and within a few months, he had put
down the great uprising that claimed to have hundreds of thousands of people.
As for the Demonic Path leader Chi Mingzhu, he died of illness before the uprising was put down.
Thus, such a massive rebellion ended in a fizzle.
Lu Yuan still remembered that when the news of the suppression of the Taiping Dao Rebellion came, his good friend Sun Siwen invited him to drink a few cups of wine in celebration of the court’s victory.
However, what does that uprising of a defeated Dao Vein have to do with this Immortal Technique?
Could it be that Taiping Dao possesses the Immortal Technique?
As Lu Yuan was puzzled, Anqiu continued, “On the surface, the Taiping Rebellion seems to be a rebellion. However, among our six major Dao Veins, there is actually another layer of explanation.
In fact, one could argue that the chaos within Taiping Dao was actually an experiment conducted under the watchful eyes of us.”
“Experiment?” Upon hearing this term, Lu Yuan felt a slight chill in his heart.
Could it be that the forces behind the Taiping Dao Rebellion are the six major Dao veins?
And what is the experiment?
Continuous confusion emerged, making it impossible for him to guess for a while.
Luckily, Anqiu didn’t let him guess for long and simply gave him the answer: “Yes, it’s an experiment. Now that the Celestial Spirit Qi is greatly dwindling, even our six major Dao veins, within the Cave World, are finding it increasingly difficult to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
In the long run, within a couple of hundred years or even two to three hundred years, the last few of the ten Cave Worlds will no longer be able to absorb the Celestial Spirit Qi.
And if another four or five hundred years pass, even the top three Cave Worlds will be unable to cultivate Immortal Techniques.
This means that after five hundred years, there will not be a single Cultivator within the Nine Provinces and Five Continents and Four Oceans.”
Anqiu looked sharply at Lu Yuan, his voice trembling slightly, filled with fear and anger, and spoke with some unwillingness, “We, the cultivators of this generation, seek Cultivating Immortality and Refining Dao, and the freedom of longevity throughout our lives.
But now, there is no hope for Ascension.
After a while, even cultivation itself has become an illusion.
Having tasted the life of an Immortal, how can we bear to fall back into the mortal world?
If we cannot practice Immortal Techniques, then what is the difference between us, the six major Dao veins, and the other Dao veins in the world?
Even the other Dao veins that have been practicing martial arts all the year round have more accumulation in this aspect than us.
Compared with them, our six major Dao veins may not even have the slightest advantage.
By then, it will not be just a problem of the decline of the Dao veins.
I am afraid that the other Dao veins that have been suppressed by us will all jump out and tear us to pieces.”
As he spoke, Anqiu’s tone became indifferent.
“So, in order not to fall into the mortal world as well as to protect ourselves, we naturally have to find other ways to ensure that we can continue to practice even after the Celestial Spirit Qi in the Cave World is exhausted.
Thus, all of our six major Dao veins have our own plans.
Not to mention the tactics of the other several Dao veins, the scheme of my Dan Ding Dao is the Taiping Dao Rebellion.
However, the rebellion was obviously a failure.”
As Anqiu mentioned failure, his eyes turned to Lu Yuan, shining brightly.
Lu Yuan felt a chill down his spine as he was stared at by the other’s menacing gaze.
Having listened to the entire story, he almost understood that the six major Dao veins were not as glorious and carefree as outsiders thought.
At this moment, the Dao veins with the Immortal Technique’s inheritance were also troubled by the problem of The Age of Dharma Decline, and even faced the danger of terminating their Dao inheritance..”
