This night, for all ordinary people, seemed no different from ordinary days.
However, for those who have achieved Dao and ascended to immortality, this was a very dramatic night.
Purple Cap Mountain, Golden Chest Cave.
Zheng Wen Cong, who has already achieved Dao and ascended to immortality, is meditating on the principles of heaven and humans.
Outside the door stood Zhen Lin's respectful protector, Cai Rujin, standing erect.
Suddenly, Zheng Wen Shu felt an overwhelming aura rising from the heavens and the earth.
He opened his eyes wide in sudden shock, gazing in disbelief towards the remote northeast.
"Is this... someone who has achieved Dao and ascended to immortality?"
Zheng Wen Shu expressed his emotion with a face full of surprise, "It seems to be someone who has achieved immortality through the practice of internal elixir arts."
The vast, ancient, and mighty aura agitated, as a celestial being, he naturally could recognize that someone had achieved immortality at a glance.
Zheng Wen Shu was puzzled and perplexed: "Wang younger brother has already fallen into the cycle of rebirth. The remaining practitioners of inner elixir arts are either not close to achieving immortality or have already achieved immortality. Now this practitioner of inner elixir arts who has achieved immortality... Could it be..."
He hurriedly jostled his fingers in a calculation, but he couldn't get any information about Chen Yun.
Zheng Wen Shu immediately revealed a joyous expression, muttering to himself, "It must be that Chen Shidi has refined a golden pill! It must be that Chen Shidi has become an immortal!"
He couldn't help but be incredulous that Chen Shidi, who had been practicing Dao for only thirty years, had already refined a golden pill and achieved immortality.
Zheng Wen Shu reminisced about his experiences from entering the path of Dao to achieving immortality, feeling a mix of emotions and a kaleidoscope of sensations in his heart.
"Chen Shidi's talent..."
Zheng Wen Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
Instantly, he called out to the door, "Rujin, come in."
Cai Rujin replied and hurriedly pushed open the door, entering respectfully to ask, "Master, what command do you summon your disciples for?"
Zheng Wen Shu replied in a calm manner: "Prepare generous gifts and send them to your Chen Shishu at the Laojun Observatory in the old capital of Khitan."
Cai Rujin was taken aback and puzzled, "Master, it's not a time of festival or holiday. Why do you want your disciple to prepare such generous gifts to send to Master Chen without any reason?"
Zheng Wen Shu laughed and said, "Your Chen Shishu achieved immortality today. As a brother, don't I, as a teacher, need to prepare generous gifts to congratulate him?"
What...?
Chen Shishu has become an immortal today?
Cai Rujin was frozen in place, looking extremely incredulous.
Others may not know Chen Yun's background, but Cai Rujin has been at the Daoist monastery for so long, how can he not know?
Chen Yun has only been practicing Dao for a mere thirty years or so, how could he possibly have achieved immortality so quickly?
For a moment, Cai Rujin looked shocked and uncertain, asking in disbelief, "Master, how did you know that Chen Shishu has achieved immortality? Why don't we know?"
Zheng Wen Shu spoke slowly: "When someone achieves immortality, all the celestial beings in the same world can feel it. But if you don't carefully distinguish it, you won't know who has achieved immortality. That earth-shattering vibration that comes from the heavens and the earth, those who have not achieved immortality cannot feel it. Before, I felt a vibration that indicated the achievement of immortality coming from the direction of Laojun Observatory in the old capital of Khitan. At that moment, I performed a calculation, but I never expected that I could no longer calculate any event related to Chen Shidi. The only possibility is that he has already..."
Cai Rujin finally understood why Master knew that Chen Shishu had achieved immortality.
He couldn't help but burst into laughter uncontrollably.
Truly, man compared to man kills man.
He has been practicing for so many years without even touching the edge of achieving immortality, while Chen Shishu has become an immortal in just a few decades.
...
Bei Qiqiang Mountain.
Lü Dongbin summoned the Golden Boy, "Prepare a generous gift for me to send to the Laojun Temple in the Khitan capital, for my disciple Chen."
The Golden Boy naturally knew what was going on.
He exclaimed with a look of wonder, "Master Chen has achieved immortality at such a young age, which is truly incredible."
Lü Dongbin smiled slightly and then closed his eyes, going into a state of mystical wandering.
...
Jin Quanshan.
Xie Ziran, who was admiring the moon with his hands behind his back, suddenly turned his head to look towards the north.
She still had no expression on her face, "Ziming."
Han Ziming immediately stepped forward and said, "Master."
Xie Ziran said, "Chen Pu has achieved immortality. You go to the Laojun Temple in the Khitan capital and offer congratulations on his becoming an immortal for me."
Han Ziming was greatly shocked, "Chen Daojun has achieved immortality so quickly? When I last saw him, he was only at the beginning of the master realm."
Xie Ziran did not respond to this, she raised her head slightly to look up at the bright moon, her mind involuntarily conjuring up the youthful face of Chen Yun.
Once upon a time, when Chen Yun came to follow her in practicing the Flying Jade Talisman, he was just a young man of around twenty years old.
She never expected the naive young man with somewhat impure thoughts to have become an immortal.
...
Qingyong Palace.
Wang Chongyang summoned Ma Yucun and Qiu Chuchai and others, "My disciple Chen has achieved immortality. Follow me to the Khitan, to offer our congratulations on his becoming an immortal."
Qiu Chuchai was greatly shocked. He had met Chen Yun once before, and his cultivation level was still lower than his. Yet, not many years later, his cultivation had progressed little, and that Master Chen ancestor, who had come before him, had achieved immortality first?
...
Guanjiang Erlang Temple.
Erlangshen laughed heartily, "Ha ha ha, wonderful, wonderful! My dear Chen Pu brother has finally achieved immortality!"
"Chen brother truly has extraordinary talent."
"Gaining immortality in just a few decades, truly impressive."
"Brother Two, let's send someone with generous gifts to congratulate him?"
The Seven Sages of Mei Mountain all felt happy for Chen Yun and couldn't help but marvel at his extraordinary talent.
...
He Xian Gu, Han Xiangzi, Tie Guai Li, Lan Caihe, and a host of immortals with close relations to Zhong Liquan all sensed Chen Yun's attainment of immortality.
For a moment, these immortals all instructed their disciples to prepare gifts to send.
Even the East King Public Wang Xuanfu, felt particularly relieved, and instructed Sima Chengzhen to send a gift to Chen Yun.
Even the current Zhang Tianqi of Longhu Mountain received a message from the Ancestor Tianqi, and immediately dispatched Zhang Jiwen to the Khitan to congratulate Chen Yun.
Instantly, the disciples of all the celestial beings rushed to the north, causing numerous demons and ghosts to be shocked. They thought that something big had happened and feared to anger the disciples of the celestial beings, so they all hid themselves and did not dare to show themselves.
Of course, not only did Chen Yun's fellow immortals sense his attainment of immortality.
Even the Immortal Gouteng in Heyang City and the immortal Xie Wuyang from Yinshan Mountain, who were far away, also sensed someone achieving immortality, but they did not know it was Chen Yun.
Heyang Circuit Official's Mansion.
Gouteng Dao Ren stared in surprise towards the north, "Brother, did you sense anything?"
Xie Wuyang's expression was filled with astonishment, "Someone has achieved immortality. I don't know which immortal it is, but I sense this overwhelming aura, as if coming from the Khitan region. Could it be that there is a new immortal family in the northeast?"
"It doesn't seem to be a new immortal family from the northeast." Gouteng Dao Ren's cultivation level was higher than Xie Wuyang by a big realm, so he could sense more things. He carefully analyzed and said, "In my opinion, this person who achieved immortality is more likely a Daoist cultivator. It's just that I don't know which of our fellow cultivators it is."
Xie Wuyang felt somewhat strange, "The northeast has been dominated by Shamanism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. It is rare for Daoists to go there. Why is there a Daoist friend who has achieved immortality in the Khitan region? I feel a bit confused."
Gouteng Dao Ren suddenly had an image of Chen Yun's ugly face in his mind.
He slightly startled and said, "I have heard that Chen Pu that scoundrel, recently seems to have gone to the Khitan region. Could it be that he has achieved immortality?"
Xie Wuyang also stopped for a moment before laughing and shaking his head, "That can't be him. When I last saw him, he was just at the beginning of the master realm. There's no way he could have achieved immortality so quickly."
Gouteng Dao Ren nodded in agreement, feeling very disappointed.
If Chen Yun had truly achieved immortality, he and Xie Wuyang could then go and seek revenge on Chen Yun without any fear.
A newly immortalized person would never be a match for someone like him or Xie Wuyang, who had been immortal for a long time.
...
If one were to mention the most sensational group of immortals, it would likely be the numerous immortal families that have taken root in the northeast region.
Hu Sange, Liu Taige, Huang Erda, Bai Laoyejie, and the like, all the hall leaders of their respective sects, sensed that someone had achieved immortality in their territory.
As a cultivator of the true Taoist teachings, Hu San Taiya naturally could sense that the person who had achieved immortality was a Taoist practitioner of the true Daoist teachings.
Hu Sange immediately gathered all the hall leaders of the northeast immortal families to discuss this matter.
"Do you know which immortal has achieved immortality?"
"It should be Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhengyangzi."
"It seems that it's the disciple of Zhengyangzi. Zhengyangzi holds a high status in the cultivation realm, and Chen Pu is a grand master of Dan Dao. Now that he has achieved immortality, my fellow northern immortals and I must not be impolite. Gentlemen, prepare generous gifts and accompany me to congratulate Chen Pu on his achievement of immortality."
Once Hu Sange and the others had finished their consultation, they immediately instructed their subordinates to prepare generous gifts and set off personally towards the capital.
...
Laojun Temple.
Chen Yun had no idea that countless immortals, either through their disciples and students or personally, had come to congratulate him.
He was still immersed in the joy of refining out the Golden Dan.
At this moment, he inwardly visualized and "saw" a thing like a dewdrop floating in his central palace, which was the sacred fetus Golden Dan.
Of course, this was from the perspective of internal visualization. In reality, the Golden Dan is originally one's Qi (life force) which is formless and void.
As soon as he condensed the Golden Dan, his own power and realm seemed to rise and strengthen in an instant.
It was almost as if in a blink of an eye, he had become twice as powerful.
Chen Yun sat cross-legged, doing nothing, and yet he sensed that the Golden Dan was rotating on its own, absorbing "Life Force" from the cosmos, constantly strengthening himself.
He didn't do any martial arts or actively absorb life force from the universe. However, once the Golden Dan was condensed, it began to rotate automatically under the control of his spirit essence, absorbing life force from the cosmos and constantly strengthening itself.
Chen Yun remembered what Lü Dongbin had said to him before. At the time, Lü Dongbin meant that when the Golden Dan was just formed, the cultivator's power would not be very strong. However, with the passage of time, the cultivator's skill and strength would increase day by day until it was comparable to the power of stars.
At that time, he didn't understand how the Golden Dan would rapidly grow after it was refined.
Now that this situation had arisen, Chen Yun understood what was happening.
The Golden Dan not only continuously absorbs life force from the outside to strengthen itself.
Chen Yun could also sense that the second layer of Yin-Yang Body Forging from the "Pangu True Body Scripture" was also being constantly refined as he strengthened his Golden Dan.
It seemed as if, as long as the Golden Dan grew to a certain extent, the Yin-Yang Body Forging would be able to achieve on its own.
These are not the most important things.
The most important thing is that Chen Yun felt he had gained true self-awareness.
As if all the secrets of the world had been unveiled.
He had a feeling as if, with just a thought, he could destroy the entire world.
"This... is the power of immortals?"
Chen Yun felt the powerful and boundless energy ripple within his body from the Golden Dan, which was utterly unbelievable.
He could tell that if he faced himself before achieving immortality, he could easily kill him with just one finger!
In other words, even a hundred of himself before achieving immortality, lined up together, would not match the power of the current Chen Yun.
That is not the scariest part yet.
The most terrifying thing is that he still feels like he is becoming stronger and stronger.
It seemed that as long as time was available, he could truly possess the power of a star!
After achieving immortality, Chen Yun finally understood the vast difference between those who had not yet achieved immortality and immortals.
The gap is simply indescribable.
If one must describe it.
He could only think of one word.
That's right, it's like the difference between clouds and mud.
Chen Yun was immersed in joy.
This taste is too wonderful!
