To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck-Chapter 336 - 190 Beiming Youdu_3

Therefore, that ancestor of the Sun family must have only felt fear when he was old and about to retire, approaching the end of his life, and ultimately decided to cultivate immortality.

But at the age of fifty or sixty, his vitality had greatly declined, and it was too late to start cultivating immortality.

So, even with the profound Immortal Technique of the Five Thunder Books and the vast amount of Celestial Spirit qi left by his father, that ancestor of the Sun family still failed in his cultivation.

Eventually, he died in depression, leaving behind a fragment of his soul in a jade piece.

Decades passed until the buildings in Sun Siwen’s home collapsed due to disrepair, the jade piece was exposed to daylight once again.

“For this reason, after the fragment of his soul guided Brother Sun to become a Scholar and juren, it dissipated since it was no longer nourished by the jade piece. That’s why Brother Sun no longer heard the illusionary voice after achieving his success.”

Lu Yuan sorted out all the causes and effects, and couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sorrow for that ancestor of the Sun family.

When he was young, his father went out to seek immortal cultivation, leaving him to be raised solely by his widowed mother. Despite this, he was diligent in his studies, became a juren in his early teens, a jinshi (imperial examination title) at the age of 20, and eventually became the guardian of a county, displaying great innate talent.

Later on, his father achieved success in Immortal Techniques and returned to his hometown to visit his family.

If only Sun Qingyi asked for Immortal Techniques from his father at that time, he would have definitely been taught generously due to his father’s guilt.

With such a father to teach him, as long as he studied earnestly, he had an excellent chance to achieve a long life of 200 years.

If he could have achieved this, wouldn’t his accomplishments have far surpassed being a county guardian?

But in the end, he ultimately missed that opportunity.

Even though he realized his mistake later, it was too late, and he lost his chances at the Immortal Method.

“Cultivation to immortality, a single moment of contemplation makes the difference between immortality and mortality – the fixed fate that has already been planted.”

Lu Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about the matter concerning the ancestor of the Sun family, instead shifting his attention to another matter.

“According to the inheritance, after Sun Qingyi had met with his family, he left again to seek the method of “Ascension.”

And the so-called Ascension method, as he said, was actually just passing through a place called Beiming Youdu to reach the Immortal Realm.

In ancient times, the Immortal Realm and the mortal realm I now reside in were actually interconnected.

The hub connecting the two worlds was Beiming Youdu.

The Celestial Spirit qi of the Immortal Realm was transmitted to the mortal realm through Beiming Youdu, providing mortal cultivators with cultivation resources.

But as time went on, for unknown reasons, Beiming Youdu, which was responsible for the connection between the Immortal and mortal realms, gradually began to close and the Celestial Spirit qi that could be transmitted became increasingly scarce, even drying up completely.

This is the true cause of today’s age of Dharma Decline, the depletion of Heaven and Earth’s spiritual energy.

Therefore, cultivators in the mortal realm, seeking progress, would go to Beiming Youdu in an attempt to enter the Immortal Realm through that place – which is called “Ascension.”

Lu Yuan read through the inheritance memory in his mind, and couldn’t help but feel strange at this point: “So in order to ‘Ascend,’ Sun Qingyi went to find Ziyun Dao and made an appointment with the current Ziyun Daoist Master to seek Beiming Youdu together and ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

It’s Ziyun Dao again.

Lu Yuan didn’t expect to encounter Ziyun Dao again in Sun Qingyi’s inheritance memory.

Yue Country’s number one Dao vein seemed to have far deeper hidden secrets than he had imagined.

With that thought, he couldn’t help but feel more wary of Ziyun Dao in his heart.

But right now, he had no conflicts or intersections with Ziyun Dao, so he didn’t think too much about it and continued reading through the inheritance memory.

“According to Sun Qingyi, although he had inherited the Wind and Thunder Path, the inheritance only briefly mentioned Beiming Youdu without specifying the exact location or direction.

After all, in ancient times, Celestial Spirit qi was abundant in both Heaven and Earth, and even without going to the Immortal Realm, cultivators were able to cultivate all the way to the True Person realm within the mortal realm.

At that time, only True Persons would specifically go to the Immortal Realm, and no one else would bother.

And since they had cultivated to the realm of True Person, they naturally knew how to find Beiming Youdu, so the inheritance wouldn’t specifically mark the location of Beiming Youdu.

Fortunately, Sun Qingyi, after numerous inquiries, learned that the Ziyun Dao’s previous generations always had Daoist masters who ascended, making them the most knowledgeable about Beiming Youdu’s whereabouts among all the major Dao veins in the world.

So he paid a huge price to obtain the opportunity to ascend with the Zhenyun Daoist Master, the master of the real Xuan elder Daoist, who was the predecessors Ziyun Daoist Master.

The two agreed on a time, went out to sea together on the 23rd year of Datong, and searched for Beiming Youdu in order to ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

The above is the last content of Sun Qingyi’s self-narration in the inheritance.

How they went to Beiming Youdu, and the outcome, are all undocumented.

By that time, the person himself had left, so the inheritance could not naturally record the future events.

“Beiming Youdu, Two Realms of Immortals and Mortals, Ascension Channel…”

Lu Yuan kept muttering these words to himself, his heart feeling complicated and indescribable.

He never expected that the real reason behind the Age of Dharma Decline was merely the closure of the connection between the Immortal and mortal realms.

Beiming Youdu, this place that Sun Qingyi could not forget, a place that has haunted countless cultivators over the past thousands of years, is it the truth behind Ascension?

As the channel closed, the Celestial Spirit qi of the Immortal Realm could not enter the mortal realm, and that’s why countless people wanted to Ascend.

“So when the mortal realm’s last remaining Celestial Spirit qi is exhausted and can no longer support cultivators, will I too have to Ascend to that place?”

Lu Yuan thought of the current state of Heaven and Earth’s depleted spiritual energy, and couldn’t help but contemplate his own future.

Although he had the Taiping Dao Book, the book could only draw upon the existing Celestial Spirit qi in the mortal realm through the worship of the Heavenly Pillar.

If all the Celestial Spirit qi in the mortal realm were to be exhausted, then even worshipping the Heavenly Pillars wouldn’t draw even a trace of spiritual energy.

At that time, if Lu Yuan wanted to continue cultivating, he would have to find Beiming Youdu, traverse the Immortal-mortal channel, and try to Ascend to the Immortal Realm.

“But is that channel really that easy to find? And even if found, is it really that easy to cross?”

He couldn’t help but think so, followed by a sigh.
