Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu took a sip of the wine and said indifferently, "I'm from the outside world."    

The banquet immediately became quiet. Everyone stared at Lu Yu with their eyes wide open in disbelief.    

From the moment they were born, they had lived in the Spiritual Mountain Continent. It could be said that no matter how powerful a cultivator was, his horizons would never be able to surpass this vast territory.    

The Spiritual Mountain Continent was extremely vast, but it was like a cage that bound everyone's vision.    

The living beings were like frogs at the bottom of a well, not knowing what the outside world was like.    

"Could it be that other than the Spiritual Mountain Continent, there are other worlds in this world?" Some of the elders licked their dry lips and stared at Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu said, "Of course, there is an even wider world beyond the heavens. There are at least a hundred thousand stars as big as the Spiritual Mountain Continent."    

There were countless stars in the Heaven Realm, as vast as a sea of smoke.    

Only a few of the stars had the existence of the government. Most of the stars were still in the Lower Realm, in an ancient and undeveloped state.    

Hearing Lu Yu's description, many of the elders present revealed looks of yearning in their eyes.    

At first, they thought that the Spiritual Mountain Continent was everything in this world. However, now they realized that they were just frogs at the bottom of a well.    

"There's actually such a vast world beyond the heavens?"    

Ancestor Xuanling took a deep breath, his eyes filled with intense shock.    

Ever since they were born, they had only seen and heard about the Spiritual Mountain Continent. They had never heard of any other regions in the outside world.    

"According to my deduction, the Heavenly Dao here should be in an incomplete state. That's why you guys are unable to become immortals." Lu Yu said.    

When he came here, he had already checked the Heavenly Dao here.    

Just like when Lu Yu was in the Lower Realm, the Heavenly Dao here was in an incomplete state. Everyone's realm was limited to below the Ghost Immortal Realm.    

For example, Ancestor Xuanling's talent was actually quite good. If he cultivated according to the rules, he would definitely be able to become a Ghost Immortal.    

However, it was precisely because the Heavenly Dao rules in this place were incomplete that no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. He would only be able to obtain a hundred years of lifespan and turn into a pile of yellow soil.    

"If we were in the outside world, would we be able to become immortals?"    

When Ancestor Xuanling said this, his voice changed a little.    

Immortal Ascension was already their lifelong goal.    

Now that they had heard that there was a way to become an immortal, everyone present became restless. Even the most meticulous and deepest person became excited.    

Lu Yu shook his head. "I also accidentally entered this place. Whether I can leave or not depends on fate. If there is a chance in the future, I can help you guys."    

There was something Lu Yu did not say.    

He was very suspicious that this Spiritual Mountain Continent was actually a huge magical treasure.    

This magical treasure was very likely the Eight Trigrams Furnace that had destroyed the Buddhist Sect during the ancient times.    

However, Lu Yu did not prepare to tell these people that if they knew that they would live in a magical treasure for the rest of their lives, they would probably not be able to bear the news and their Dao hearts would be obstructed.    

The banquet ended.    

Ancestor Xuanling was about to arrange for Lu Yu to rest, but Lu Yu refused.    

"Let me see your Ancestor God." Lu Yu said indifferently.    

"Ancestor God?" Ancestor Xuanling was slightly stunned. "It's already late. Senior, why don't you rest early and go tomorrow?"    

"It's fine. I'm not tired now." Lu Yu waved his hand.    

There was always a trace of worry hidden in Lu Yu's eyebrows.    

Ever since he came to this Spiritual Mountain Continent, Lu Yu had been constantly circulating the Yi Scripture and sensing the complicated and ever-changing fate threads around him.    

However, contrary to his expectations, the complicated fate was always mixed with many dangers.    

The fate of death was not changed, but the ominous premonition became increasingly stronger.    

Time was tight.    

Even Lu Yu did not know what unknown dangers would descend.    

"Alright, please follow me." Seeing that Lu Yu was determined, Ancestor Xuanling did not hesitate any longer.    

He brought Lu Yu to a grand and ancient shrine.    

The shrine was built in the core area of the Sea Stability Sect. It was tall and majestic, and it was even more magnificent than the sect hall of the Sea Stability Sect.    

The Sea Stability Sect had set up a special shrine envoy in this place. There were more than eight hundred of them, and they guarded this ancient shrine day and night.    

Ancestor Xuanling personally came here, and the High Priest of the shrine was alarmed. This High Priest was also an elder of the Sea Stability Sect, but he would not go out normally. He guarded the surroundings of the shrine all his life, so he did not participate in the banquet.    

After knowing that Lu Yu was an immortal, the High Priest couldn't help but look at Lu Yu with suspicion.    

"Senior, you are a distinguished guest of our Sea Stability Sect. Hurry up and greet him!" Ancestor Xuanling scolded.    

The shrine envoys all bowed. They were slightly surprised to see that Lu Yu was so young.    

"Senior, the statue is in the hall." Ancestor Xuanling said respectfully.    

"Yes."    

When Lu Yu arrived at the entrance of the shrine, he saw that it was brightly lit. Countless lights illuminated the entire hall, making the hall as bright as day.    

The bright light dispersed the darkness. At this moment, there were more than a hundred shrine envoys sitting cross-legged on mats in the hall, praying to the tall ancestral statue.    

Before they even got close to the shrine, they could hear a loud and long prayer coming from the shrine.    

"Is this the Ancestor God?"    

Lu Yu looked at the statue and frowned slightly.    

The statue looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. He was thin and wore rough clothes, like a simple and honest farmer. He did not have anything to do with the name of the Ancestor God.    

"It is said that in ancient times, evil demons were rampant. The Ancestor God appeared out of nowhere and killed the evil demons with his own strength. At the same time, he used his divine power to create a barrier that prevented the evil demons from getting close."    

"The Ancestor God was simple-minded. Although he was a god, he did not care about extravagance. His vast divine power was all for the sake of saving the world."    

"The Ancestor God played an important role in the inheritance of the Spirit Mountain Continent."    

The more Ancestor Xuanling spoke, the more moved he became. He bowed to the tall Ancestor God statue.    

Lu Yu looked at the two huge stone tablets beside the Ancestor God statue. They were filled with the achievements of the Ancestor God.    

The Ancestor God had suppressed the demons and stabilized the mountains and rivers, and he used his divine power to pacify the eight directions.    

The Ancestor God had indeed done a lot of good deeds. He had protected the Spirit Mountain Continent countless times over the long years.    

"No wonder such a continent without immortals could last until now."    

Lu Yu muttered to himself.    

The High Priest said, "Senior, we are currently praying. Can we enter after the prayer is over?"    

Lu Yu nodded. "That's good."    

However, at this moment, the Ancestor Statue that was worshiped in the shrine suddenly emitted a series of rumbling sounds. Its body was shining with a resplendent golden light, and a vast divine light suddenly appeared.    

The High Priest's body trembled as he looked at the Ancestor Statue in disbelief.    

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly shouted, "Quickly, the Ancestor God has appeared. Quickly kneel down!"    

Outside the hall, the cultivators all knelt down one after another. Even Patriarch Xuanling was no exception.    

Only Lu Yu was still standing in his original position.    

The High Priest was extremely anxious. He could not care less about what Patriarch Xuanling had told him and shouted, "Senior, the Ancestor God has appeared. You must not be rude."    

However, just as the High Priest finished speaking...    

A golden light immediately emitted from the Ancestor Statue and directly shone on Lu Yu's body.
