Peerless Taoist

What he valued the most was the longsword in his hand.    

If his guess was correct, there should be a fragment of an ancient Immortal Weapon hidden in the sword.    

This was what Lu Yu needed!    

With the fragment of the ancient Immortal Weapon, the Compass of Life and Death would regain its full strength sooner or later, and it would become a great help to Lu Yu in the end.    

At this moment, the vast majority of the Lu Family disciples were still stuck at the first level.    

As for the disciples of the Weapon Saint, some of them were only stuck at the second level, and they were still struggling to hold on.    

Only Lu Yu had reached the ninth level!    

The ninth floor of the pagoda, the last floor!    

This level was called "Heart Refining," and its purpose was to thoroughly temper one's Dao Heart.    

This was the most difficult level, and there were very few people that passed this level.    

It had nothing to do with cultivation, and this level was able to dig out the terror in the deepest depths of a person's heart. After that, the terror would be magnified, and the challenger would be able to face his own heart directly.    

Lu Yu also wanted to see what the deepest fear in his heart was.    

He took a step forward and walked in.    

But suddenly, Lu Yu was stunned.    

He couldn't sense the slightest bit of magic power in his body. An unprecedented sense of weakness swept across his heart.    

"This is an illusion technique? No!"    

Lu Yu's heart couldn't help but twitch, but he quickly calmed down and regained his calm.    

He looked around and found that this was a dilapidated city god temple.    

It was raining outside the temple. Through the broken doors and windows, he could see the shadow of the city wall outside, hidden in the misty rain.    

Lu Yu wanted to stand up, but he found that he was too weak to get up.    

He was a peak Martial Saint and an ancient Dao Immortal, but in this place, his body was just a thin and weak teenage child.    

Lu Yu suddenly remembered what this place was.    

"Song Country, Bianjing. I didn't expect to return here." A bitter smile appeared on Lu Yu's face.    

In his previous life, he was an orphan who lived on the streets and had no one to rely on. He could only barely survive in this broken grass temple.    

Although Lu Yu joined the local Beggar Gang, he did not beg like the others. Instead, he worked hard to maintain his livelihood. However, he was still young and did not have much strength. Basically, he didn't have much work to do. He could only exchange it for food.    

If it wasn't for the fact that he met that benefactor in the end, he would probably have died of old age in the mortal capital, and Nether Daolord wouldn't have appeared in the Heaven Realm.    

"This is the day when I have just recovered from a serious illness. It won't be long before the people of the Beggar Gang return. And that old beggar will probably come back with the crowd."    

Lu Yu thought of that old beggar, and his eyes flashed with reminiscence.    

If he was serious, this old beggar could be considered Lu Yu's first Master.    

The old beggar was a cultivator at that time. Later on, he failed in his battle with someone else, and all of his cultivation level and cultivation foundation were crippled. He was then thrown here like a piece of trash.    

When Lu Yu was in his most miserable state, the old beggar pointed out a path for Lu Yu. He gave the last medicine to Lu Yu and helped him cultivate.    

Later on, the old beggar died. He didn't even know where he died.    

Even after Lu Yu became Daolord and used all kinds of divination techniques to calculate, he still couldn't figure out where the old beggar died in the end.    

"It's time for them to come back." Lu Yu looked outside the door.    

Outside the City God Temple, trivial footsteps could be heard.
