Chapter 242 The Essence of the True Immortal Trial, Gu Cultivation, Gu Cultivation, First Gu Then Cultivation

Take the country as your bet and make a bet with the immortals.

Although Cui Shouye and others were well-informed, they were also a little frightened by Zhao Zhongming's generosity.

After all, they had never thought of becoming enemies of White Deer Academy before.

That was the White Deer Academy. It might be a bit excessive that eight of the ten third-level Gu cultivators in the Daying Dynasty had entered the academy.

But it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that five out of ten are related to White Deer Academy.

Therefore, when they heard that Zhao Zhongming wanted to force their way into the academy, Cui Shouye and others were in a state of confusion.

Even though they were the leaders of the Daying Dynasty, compared to the White Deer Academy, they still fell short.

After all, at their level, the role that low-level monks can play has become smaller and smaller.

If the four major families followed Zhao Zhongming and broke into the White Deer Academy, many people would die.

Therefore, even though what Zhao Zhongming said was very tempting, Cui Shouye and others were still a little afraid to make a decision easily.

If Zhao Zhongming was gambling on the country, then they were gambling on the fate of the family for thousands of years.

One careless move and you lose everything.

"Your Majesty, the place of the Academy is extraordinary. Not to mention how many people in our dynasty have a close relationship with the Academy. Just the few gentlemen in the Academy and the mysterious Master Yun are not something we can deal with at will. of."

"Your Majesty, are you really sure?"

Facing Cui Shouye's inquiry, Zhao Zhongming said calmly: "You don't have to worry too much about Master. As long as we don't take the initiative to attack him, he will not intervene in our battle no matter what happens."

Cui Shouye was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why did your Majesty say this?"

Zhao Zhongming said expressionlessly: "The True Immortal Trial is a legacy set up by the immortals, and Master Yun's status as the invigilator means that he will not take sides."

"Unless there are violators or someone blatantly breaks the rules of the trial, Master Yun will just watch with cold eyes. This has nothing to do with his personal will. It is the rule of a true immortal and no one can break it."

Cui Shouye and others were silent for a long time.

The people present are all human beings, and it only takes a moment to figure out the reason for this.

Zhao Zhongming can be so sure because he has personally experienced similar things.

Combined with what Zhao Zhongming told them before.

They speculated that a similar situation might have occurred when other demons besieged Miss Jiu.

After all, Zhao Zhongming also said that not all the demons back then wanted to catch Miss Jiu.

Among them, those demons from Qingyun Sect even participated in the battle to protect Miss Jiu.

It was only because of the weak power and some special reasons that things failed to succeed in the end.

Although they already knew that Master Yun would not intervene, Cui Shouye and others still could not completely rest assured.

Because the other identity of Bailu Academy is the mortal power of Wentian Palace.

Although neither Wentian Palace nor White Deer Academy has ever admitted it.

But it is undeniable that many monks in Wentian Palace come from White Deer Academy.

And this is another concern of Cui Shouye and others.

Everyone knows that the Daying Dynasty has no four realms.

There is no shortage of monks from the Four Realms in Wentian Palace. This is something everyone knows.

The gap between the three realms and the four realms is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even if they all go together, there is a high probability that they will not be able to stop a Four Realm Overhaul.

Once Wentian Palace intervenes, they will never be able to enter the depths of the academy.

Xu Yuanrui, the head of the Shanhe Xu family, looked at Zhao Zhongming and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I wonder if the attitude of Wentian Palace is the same as Master Yun?"

"If that's the case, then there might be a lot of potential for entering the academy."

"But if the Heavenly Palace intervenes, then forgive us for not being able to obey. After all, we represent not only ourselves, but also the thousands of people behind us..."

Zhao Zhongming nodded and said, "I naturally know the concerns of my dear friends."

"If it were before, I wouldn't be able to clearly express Tiangong's attitude."

"But after I talked with the current heir to the palace, Chang Jianqing Daozi, I have been able to give you a guarantee."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhongming looked around at the crowd and said categorically: "I can guarantee here that the Heavenly Palace will not interfere in our affairs, because they, like Master Yun, are the supervisors of the True Immortal Trial."

"As long as everything is still within the scope of trials, the palace will not intervene."

Hearing this, Cui Shouye and others looked at each other and saw something strange in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, so what you're saying is that as long as we don't do anything to undermine the trial, such as attacking people other than trial participants, then we don't need to consider existences like Tiangong and Master Yun?"

"Even the gentlemen from the Academy, don't we need to worry too much?"

Zhao Zhongming nodded and said: "That's the case, because in the eyes of the immortals, we and the demons are all part of the trial, there is no difference."

"Understood."

At this point, Cui Shouye and others also fully understood where Zhao Zhongming had the confidence to break into the academy.

Because he has thoroughly understood the rules of the True Immortal Trial.

As long as everything complies with the rules, they won't be in much danger.

The only people who need to be dealt with are the demons from outside the territory.

And it was only after understanding these things that Cui Shouye and others had a clear understanding of Zhao Zhongming's policies over the past hundreds of years.

Before, they were still wondering why Zhao Zhongming was so hostile to the extraterritorial demons, even to the point of fighting them to the death.

You have to know that the extraterritorial demons are just passers-by to them.

As long as they can survive until the end of the trial, these demons will generally not have much impact on the Daying Dynasty.

There is no need to fight them to the death.

But now they understand that Zhao Zhongming's move is to make it easier to gather all the forces that can be gathered in the Daying Dynasty.

Second, it can control the situation within the scope of the "trial".

Because if it is only aimed at the demons, then they are essentially a struggle between trial participants, and will not attract the intervention of the Heavenly Palace or immortals.

Thinking of this, Cui Shouye and others looked at Zhao Zhongming with extremely complicated eyes.

To be able to do this, Zhao Zhongming obviously started planning these things a long time ago.

Because many things here cannot be proved by imagination alone.

Zhao Zhongming must have verified it in some way, or directly asked people from the Heavenly Palace.

No matter which one it is, it means that Zhao Zhongming has been planning for this matter for hundreds of years.

At this point, they have nothing to say.

The Haoran Cui family, one of the four major families, was the first to express its position.

"Your Majesty also knows that my beloved son died at the hands of the demon not long ago. Therefore, even if I cannot let the entire family participate in this matter for the sake of the family's safety, I will personally participate in your majesty's plan."

"I will not do anything else, just for four words...blood debts must be paid with blood."

"Now after listening to all your majesty's plans, I can represent the Cui family and help your majesty."

After getting Cui Shouye's support, Zhao Zhongming immediately looked at the other three families.

After thinking for a while, the other three families also decided to join this plan.

Of course, they want to take the family to a higher level.

They are also worried that if they refuse, in order to prevent the matter from being leaked, Zhao Zhongming and other families may take action against them before taking action against the demon.

Therefore, whether for the future of the family or the safety of the family at the moment, they have no choice.

From the moment they stepped into the imperial study, they were actually tied to Zhao Zhongming's boat.

And this is a boat that can only move forward, not backward.

"Your Majesty, then please tell us what to do and when to start."

"Well..."

In the following period of time, Zhao Zhongming began to talk about his specific plan and how they should act so that they can better enter the academy, and even use the academy to leave this palm world and go to the larger world outside.

At the same time, in the Bailu Academy.

"What's wrong, fellow Daoist Lu, what is the important matter that you are looking for me this time?"

Yun Zhonglu looked at Lu Chen who suddenly came to him, his eyes full of confusion.

You know, Lu Chen has been locking himself in the practice room since he came to the Bailu Academy and has never gone out.

Others, whether they are Zhongzhou cultivators or academy disciples of the Daying Dynasty, have more or less walked outside in the past three years.

Among them, Zhao Liuhuo and Ye Hao are the most eye-catching.

Because after entering the academy, the strength of these two people has improved by leaps and bounds.

There is already a vague posture of catching up with Xing Li and other top geniuses.

But even if Ye Hao and others have made considerable progress, in Yun Zhonglu's eyes, Lu Chen is still the most noteworthy.

Therefore, facing Lu Chen's sudden visit, Yun Zhonglu is very curious.

"Master Yun, Lu's visit this time is actually mainly to ask three questions."

"Oh? You said, as long as I can say it, I will try my best to answer you."

"Master, does this trial also include people from the Daying Dynasty? As long as they can meet the requirements of the immortals, they can also obtain the immortal inheritance?"

"Yes."

"Master, in addition to letting you take action, there should be other ways to leave the trial, right?"

"Yes."

"Understood, then Lu has one last question. The cultivators of the Daying Dynasty... are not human, right? Or, they just think they are human."

"..."

Yun Zhonglu, who knew everything before, was completely silent at this time.

Although he did not speak, sometimes not speaking is also an answer.

Lu Chen had already obtained the answer he wanted from Yun Zhonglu.

He also knew that this True Immortal Trial was almost over for him.

Because the next trial was meaningless to him.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Master. I have no more doubts."

Yun Zhonglu looked at Lu Chen's departing back, his eyes became extremely complicated.

Because he didn't expect that Lu Chen had been staying in the academy for the past three years, but he had deduced more information than anyone else.

He even saw through the nature of the Daying Dynasty and the True Immortal Trial.

"Your Excellency is right. This boy is not only very smart, but his thoughts are far beyond ordinary people. I can't see through him. I really can't see through him..."

"Junior Brother Lu, are you looking for us?"

King Wu Miao, Yi Hanqing, Shangguan Yunmeng, and even some other Qingyun Sect disciples who appeared in the imperial city were all called back to the academy by Lu Chen.

Although King Wu Miao and others didn't know what Lu Chen wanted to do,

But they instinctively felt that Lu Chen might want to tell them something important.

After everyone was present, Lu Chen spoke.

"Brother Wumiao, Brother Yi Hanqing, if you believe in me, then don't participate in the next True Immortal Trial, because it is of no benefit to you."

"Why do you say that, Brother Lu?"

King Wumiao looked puzzled, not quite understanding why Lu Chen said that.

Yi Hanqing on the side seemed to have thought of something and said, "Brother Lu, do you think that this path of Gu cultivation was not prepared for us from the beginning?"

"If we want to obtain this inheritance, we may need to give up our human bodies, otherwise we can't practice this path at all?"

Lu Chen nodded and explained to the others who were still confused, "I was thinking before, why the Gu cultivators of the Daying Dynasty can borrow the power of Gu insects but not be attacked by them."

"If these Gu insects cannot survive without the human body, then this matter can still be explained by symbiosis."

"But those Gu insects are still alive and well after leaving the body, which undoubtedly explains the problem."

"So I changed my perspective, that is, the so-called 'Gu cultivators' may not be a school, but a group."

As soon as these words came out, a thunder flashed through everyone's mind, and they exploded in a flash.

Because the information contained in this passage is really shocking.

If Gu Xiu is not a school, but a race, doesn't it mean that they seem to be in a human dynasty, but in fact they are in a Gu insect base?

Not only those cultivators who possess extraordinary powers, but even those civilians may contain some kind of danger.

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions became more and more ugly.

Except for a few people with extremely good luck, most of the people who can reach this step in the True Immortal Trial are people with certain scheming.

Before they thought in this direction, they might not have noticed the usual abnormalities.

But when Lu Chen pointed this out, they quickly thought of many strange things about Gu Xiu.

For example, why do people in the Daying Dynasty have a congenital Gu worm called "Xianzhong" in their bodies when they are born.

And why are the Gu worms willing to be driven by Gu Xiu even though they can still survive after leaving the Gu Xiu's body.

All of this has an answer at this moment.

Gu Xiu, from the beginning, what they need to cultivate is not the human skin outside the Gu Xiu, but the Gu worms in their bodies.

This is like the metamorphosis of insects in nature.

Once a certain realm is reached, the Gu worm in the Gu cultivator's body will completely metamorphose.

It is still unknown whether it will be a human or a Gu.

The True Immortal inheritance left by Gu Yue Zhenxian is also a similar method.

Then this immortal method is indeed harmful to them.

Moreover, they also thought of a problem.

That is, no one has ever said that Gu Yue Zhenxian... was a human cultivator who ascended to become an immortal.

At this moment, everyone felt that the fog that originally shrouded the True Immortal Trial had completely dissipated.
