In the autumn night sky, the stars are shining, and the bright moon is gone.

Although Huilong Temple is built on the hillside, it has no obstruction and can clearly see the stars in the sky.

Under the night, Chu Yunshen looked up at the starry sky, and the stars were shining with light, as if telling the depth and mystery of the starry sky.

At this moment, Lu Yan also walked out of the house. Seeing Chu Yunshen standing under the eaves of the corridor and looking up at the starry sky, his body paused and turned around and walked forward.

"Master Chu!" Lu Yan bowed to Chu Yunshen.

"You are here!" Chu Yunshen said lightly, as if he knew that Chu Lu Yan would come out, so he was waiting here early.

Hearing Chu Yunshen's words, Lu Yan suddenly remembered the thought of meditating in the room just now, and suddenly had a whim in his heart, and he wanted to come out for no reason to take a look.

He was very sure that the thought just now came for no reason and abruptly, as if someone was urging him to go out, which made him wonder in his heart: "Is this the method of Master Chu?"

It’s no wonder that he would guess so much. From the moment he saw Chu Yunshen, he felt that the person standing with his master, Huolong Taoist, had a mysterious feeling.

If his master, Huolong Taoist, is a noble and fairy-like Taoist master; then Chu Yunshen in front of him is the deep starry sky above his head, mysterious and untouchable. He has never shown what methods the other party has. He can only guess the mysterious true appearance from the scales and half claws that the other party accidentally revealed.

"No, if this is true, then Master Chu's method is no different from that of the immortals." Lu Yan felt a little disbelief in his heart, "Are there really immortals in this world?"

In ancient times, there were many people who sought immortals as if they had crossed the river. However, those who could truly become immortals were only seen in legends. Perhaps there was no one who truly witnessed the flying immortals?

However, when Lu Yan thought of his incredible abilities after opening the entrance hall, he was a little shaken in his heart: "If I put all the incredible abilities in my body in the eyes of the world, wouldn't it be the same as an immortal?"

Lu Yan was thinking about whether the sudden whim he had just happened was Chu Yunshen's work.

At this moment, Chu Yunshen suddenly asked, "What are you thinking?"

Lu Yan, who was in deep thought, subconsciously said: "I'm wondering if you are an immortal, Master Chu!"

After blurting out these words, Lu Yan suddenly came to his senses and found that he had actually expressed his thoughts.

Looking up at Chu Yunshen, a look of embarrassment appeared on Lu Yan's face.

Chu Yunshen didn't care, but instead asked with interest: "Why did you have such an idea?"

Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "Because I feel that Master Chu is even more mysterious than Master. I can see some of the atmosphere in Master Chu, but when I face Master Chu, I can't see anything."

"So, what do you think of the ancestors as you are?"

"What I think of in my heart should be..." Lu Yan slowly talked about the image of an immortal he thought of.

"Ice skin and jade bones, immortality, Feng Xu controls the wind, picks stars and moon, turns the rivers and seas, free and easy... Or live in the mountains, sit and watch the rise and fall of the dynasty on earth; or play in the world, and transforms people with fate to become immortals..."

Chu Yunshen listened quietly to Lu Yan's words. He didn't say until Lu Yan stopped saying, "Is this the image of an immortal in your mind?"

"yes!"

Chu Yunshen shook his head and said, "What you said is right or wrong!"

Lu Yan asked: "How is it right or wrong?"

Chu Yunshen replied: "Yes, because your explanation is not wrong. No, because what you are talking about is just the external appearance of "Immortal". To truly understand the essence of "Immortal", we must start from the original meaning of the word "Immortal"!"

"The original meaning of the word 'xian'?" Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but think.

"No," Chu Yunshen nodded, "The so-called "Immortal" means one person and one mountain when detached. Some people say that people enter the mountains and become immortals; others say that people and mountains are immortals. But in my opinion, these understandings have never been pointed to the key."

"In the eyes of our ancestors, the 'mountain' symbolizes the earth as a staircase to the sky. If a person climbs to the top of the mountain, he will come to the place closest to the gods and men. In ancient times, sacrifices or feudal ceremonies were held on the top of the mountain. Even if there is no mountain, a 'mountain' (altar) must be built."

Speaking of this, Chu Yunshen raised his hand and drew in the void. The true energy condensed two words in the void: "The word "天" has a different way of writing "天". But whether it is "天" or "天", it can be seen that its original meaning - people are climbing upwards and finally reaching the top of the mountain."

"The most essential meaning of the word "媚" is the process of climbing upwards. The process of people climbing up the mountain road and heading to the top of the mountain is the process of gradually approaching the "sky". If a person wants to become an "媚", it is like climbing upwards step by step, and finally becoming an immortal."

"The word "Immortal" describes the process in the middle, which explains this process vividly. The so-called "A mountain is higher than a mountain, and I climb a higher peak." The road is endless, and the road to practice is naturally endless."

Lu Yan listened silently to Chu Yunshen's analysis of "Immortals", and his understanding of immortals became clearer. Lu Yan murmured to himself: "If I say so, am I also cultivating immortals now?"

Thinking about the incredible abilities he had obtained after opening the hole in the cave, combined with Chu Yunshen’s explanation just now, Lu Yan wondered if he had embarked on the path of immortality?

"Why don't it count?" With Chu Yunshen's ears, he naturally heard Lu Yan's words and said immediately, "From the beginning of opening the mystery, you have truly embarked on the road to cultivating immortals. You can be called an immortal.

"I'm also considered an immortal?" Lu Yan came back to his senses and looked at Chu Yunshen in surprise. "Can I be considered an immortal just by opening the mystery?"

"Why don't it count?" Chu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Although you are still on the road to cultivating immortals, you are beyond ordinary people. How can you not be considered an immortal? Even if you are just a human immortal, then you are an immortal, right?"

"Human Immortal?" Lu Yan asked curiously when he heard this, "According to Master Chu's words, are there other different immortals?"

"Why didn't there?" Chu Yunshen said with a smile, "I divide the process of practice into five levels according to the results of merits."

"One is the ghost immortal. As the practice is deep, the spirit gradually becomes stronger and can escape from the physical body. This is the ghost immortal. The ghost immortal is the next to the five immortals. The divine image is unknown, the ghost gate has no surname, and the three mountains have no name. Although it does not enter the cycle of reincarnation, it is difficult to achieve the right result. In the end, there is no place to go, and it is just to give up after reincarnation."

"The second level is human immortals, and those who practice practice, who refine essence and turn into qi, and the five elements of qi are misunderstood, and their form and quality are solid. Eight evils cannot harm them. If they live for a long time and have good health, they can be called human immortals. Human immortals are two below the five immortals. Although they can live for a long time and have good health, they cannot escape the limit of ordinary life."

"The third level is the earth immortal. The human immortal refines essence into qi, nourishes the spirit with qi. Gradually, the spirit is deeper, the spirit is strong, and the inside and outside are understood, and the three elements of life and death are mixed. The three elements of essence, energy and spirit are mixed, breaking the limits of human and heaven, and being able to live forever. The earth immortal is the one among the five immortals, the five elements are reversed, and the three elements are mixed, and the body is refined and the world is lived forever, so it is called the earth immortal."

"The fourth level is the gods, who refine qi and turn into gods to nourish the elixir, gradually deepen the work. When the elixir is full, the holiness is transformed into a holy fetus, and the primordial spirit manifests, it can be called the true immortal of the primordial spirit, abbreviated as "the immortal". The gods and immortals are two above the five immortals, and the jade liquid returns to the elixir, and form qi and the five qi go to the primordial, and the three yangs gather. After the merit, forget the body, and the fetal immortal transforms itself. Yin is pure, and there is a body outside the body. Removing the essence and becoming an immortal, transcending to the ordinary and becoming a saint."

"The fifth level is the celestial immortal. After the holy fetus is born, the primordial spirit manifests, first learn the wonderfulness of Taiyu (space), and then realize the way of the universe light (time). This is to refine the spirit and return to the emptiness. After both time and space, it is to refine the emptiness and the Tao (the process of upgrading the dimension), until it jumps out of the three realms (three dimensions), and is not in the five elements (matter and energy), it is to refine the emptiness and combine the way (the process of upgrading the dimension), until it breaks out of the three realms (three dimensions), and is not in the five elements (matter and energy), it is to be the celestial immortal."

The progressive level of the five immortals mentioned by Chu Yunshen is very clear and clearly analyzed the process of cultivation with Lu Yan. Through this explanation, Lu Yan finally fully understood the entire process of cultivating immortals.
