Lu Ren pondered and then spoke, "Do you know about Shakyamuni and Old Man Li Er?"
Chang Xin shook her head and said, "I don’t know."
Lu Ren wasn’t surprised, after all, they were from completely different eras.
"Then in your era, who was the most talented, qualified to achieve the Earth Immortal Path Fruit?"
"That must be Chen Xiao!" Chang Xin said without hesitation. "He was the greatest of all time in the Great Wilderness Era, achieving the Human Immortal Realm at just thirty. Although heavily nurtured by his sect, his talent was undeniably monstrous. Unfortunately, he vanished completely while searching for the Earth Immortal Path Fruit."
Lu Ren neither agreed nor disagreed, and after asking in detail about how to resist the True Wind and the next steps in cultivation, he temporarily dispelled his doubts.
"Do you have anything else to ask? Speak it all out."
At this point, Chang Xin had given up. When she went out this time, those country bumpkins would likely look at her with strange eyes. Latest content publıshed on novelꜰire.net
Thinking of this made Chang Xin murderous; she couldn’t beat Lu Ren but those country bumpkins were another story.
Finally, Lu Ren asked, "Where does the road in the Inner Realm lead?"
Chang Xin hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Each person’s Inner Realm is an embodiment of their fundamental consciousness, leading to different places for everyone. If others revealed it, preconceived notions might limit personal development."
Perhaps fearing Lu Ren wouldn’t believe her, Chang Xin added, "The Moon Palace has existed for nearly ten thousand years, and exploring the Inner Realm is no longer new. It wasn’t until the fourth Palace Master took office that, due to certain events, two experts who never discussed it realized this issue."
Lu Ren looked at Chang Xin with considerable surprise.
Under Lu Ren’s gaze, Chang Xin said expressionlessly, "Don’t get me wrong, I just don’t want you to do something I can’t accept if you discover any problems later."
Lu Ren smiled slightly, "You are sensible."
He didn’t say much more, but Chang Xin had some doubts.
"You haven’t explored your own Inner Realm yet."
After receiving Lu Ren’s affirmation, Chang Xin’s gaze became somewhat strange.
"Then you had better be careful when exploring that road in the Inner Realm."
As the area shielding the two of them opened, Xu Fu and the others craned their necks, only to see the two of them neat and tidy, each with a bit of disappointment.
"What’s this, not the legendary True Immortal? Just succumbed like that, what’s wrong with being fierce once?"
Kong Qiu smiled and said, "Xu the Alchemist, if you have the guts, speak louder. What are you whispering like a rat here for, gossiping isn’t the act of a gentleman."
Xu Fu raised his eyebrows and rolled up his sleeves.
"Old Kong, are you looking for a beating?"
Kong Qiu jumped up and said, "I can let you use both feet to fight against a single of mine."
Xu Fu got angry on the spot and started wrestling with Kong Qiu, but unfortunately, Xu Fu, a Qi Refiner, was proficient in Magical Techniques, and in this magic-restricted Inner Realm environment, was completely overpowered by Kong Qiu.
But Xu Fu was not easy to deal with either, having a distinct advantage in Primordial Spirit form that allowed him to transform his body, instantly becoming a hulking figure larger than Kong Qiu.
The two were evenly matched for a while, grappling with each other.
Subodhi and the others had no interest in watching Xu Fu and Kong Qiu, as they had fought so many times over this period that it no longer held any novelty.
What they really wanted to know was what Lu Ren and Chang Xin had discussed.
Every one of those present had a heart for the Dao, one could say they were all dragons among humans, with tenacious minds and deep schemes.
Lu Ren glanced at Subodhi and the others, his face showing a peculiar smile, unwilling to bother with them.
In the absence of a way to completely control their life and death, he certainly wouldn’t let them go, even though by this Realm, Subodhi and others barely provided him with energy compared to the Ten Earth True Qi network cycle.
Once these people went out, they would definitely stir up storms.
In the Real Buddha’s True Scripture, there is a Dharma Gate that can enlighten and control.
He was contemplating whom to experiment on.
As he thought, Lu Ren didn’t hesitate at all, stepping through the air, heading for the Path of Origin not far above the Inner Realm.
In the eyes of Subodhi and others, they saw Lu Ren step out, heading towards the outer area of the Inner Realm, and then vanish.
Xu Fu no longer wrestled with Kong Qiu, transformed into a liquid, reformed not far away, staring blankly at Lu Ren’s leaving direction, and after a while, said despondently.
"Years ago, the Immortal Master said my aptitude was dull and I couldn’t solve the mystery of the Inner Realm, couldn’t find that road, so through any means, I turned my body into a Divine Body through human sacrifice, spending a thousand years yet couldn’t achieve what others did overnight."
Subodhi glanced at Xu Fu with a sorrowful face, and not far away, Kong Qiu, sitting cross-legged, also stared blankly at Lu Ren’s leaving direction, only after a while did he shake his head slightly, saying, "Time and fate."
Having said that, he lay flat on the ground, turning over and closing his eyes to rest.
Chen Xuzi sighed, "The heavens are unfair."
Subodhi sighed softly, in the entire history of cultivation, there were too many people like them seeking the Dao, like fish crossing the river, innumerable.
Some were ruthless, with hearts hard as stone, who would destroy cities and clans, just to borrow the power of an Outer God to break the limits of their talents, remaking heaven and earth.
Even now, they themselves were walking the same old path.
Seeing Lu Ren step easily onto the Path of Origin, everyone’s thoughts varied, but they lacked much enthusiasm, lazily standing or sitting around.
Without her chains, Chang Xin coldly glanced at Chen Xuzi and the others. She had encountered far too many like these, some even breaking through the void, traveling by Divine Travel to the Moon Palace, pleading to join.
In such cases, she often crushed their Divine Souls, using them as fuel for the Alchemy Furnace.
At the instant Lu Ren stepped onto the Path of Origin, a system prompt immediately rang out.
"Ding, you have reached the road between reality and illusion, a non-existent place. There seem to be some secrets hidden at the end of this road."
Lu Ren’s gaze was solemn, although he had asked Chang Xin thoroughly, he hadn’t delved too deeply; he stood silently, carefully evaluating the surroundings.
Everyone’s Path of Origin is different.
For some, the Path of Origin is an actual road, while for others it is like a small world.
Some, when stepping onto the Path of Origin, are immediately absorbed into an unknown place.
This is the worst scenario, as the Path of Origin can be easily invaded by Outer Demons due to its strange state between reality and illusion.
