I can't cultivate immortality!

Those five words were so light, but they weighed on the hearts of Lu Ming and the others like five mountains.

They never thought that this was the case, or that the reason why Li Yu was so determined to seek death was because he knew that he could not cultivate immortality.

But the question is, how does he know?

As soon as everyone had this question, Lu Ming and Lie Yankong thought of the self-defense jade pendant on his body.

Judging from Lie Yankong's expression and words at that time, he knew what the jade pendant represented.

Lu Ming looked at Lie Yankong. Shui Linglong saw Lu Ming's questioning expression and naturally guessed something. Lie Yankong didn't hide it and asked Li Yu directly, "Are you from the Li family in Yun Tomb?"

,Right?"

Li Yu said, "How I wish I wasn't."

In a simple word, one can hear a little helplessness, a little unwillingness, and even a little resentment.

Lu Ming and Shui Linglong naturally knew what the Yun Tomb Li family represented. It was a family of immortal cultivators that dominated His Highness Huang Ji. Their strength and foundation were not comparable to ordinary sects. They were even good at practicing swordsmanship.

The great sword Qingshan has to give way to a shot in front of it.

The status of cultivators in this continent is respected by Huangji Palace, and there are corresponding branch halls in different regions. However, the area is vast, and some places are barren and difficult. The people of Huangji Palace, who think they are superior, will naturally not open up wasteland, so

, Huangji Palace used its strong attitude and superior strength to coerce and lure local immortal cultivating sects and aristocratic families to become their minions, in order to manage cultivators everywhere.

Of course, many immortal cultivating sects and aristocratic families are willing to become subordinates of Huangji Palace to gain more status and resources by forcing them to gain power and luring them to gain benefits. In order to gain more status and resources, naturally they also need to give something. In addition to giving their own

In addition to his loyalty and ability, he must also hand over the techniques he practices to the Emperor's Palace.

Huangji Hall’s theory is that they can share what they have with each other and can use it to prove their own path of cultivation. However, everyone has a tacit understanding and each has his or her own plans. Since then, a pattern of cultivating immortals has been formed in which the Huangji Hall family dominates and hundreds of other schools dominate.

.

However, some aristocratic families and sects have their own foundation and arrogance. They feel that the way they practice can be passed into the hands of others and be speculated and learned from by irrelevant people, so they have several conflicts with Huangji Palace.

The Great Sword Qingshan is naturally one of them, but even if they are strong, they are still not as good as when facing the Huangji Palace. If they attack with all their strength, even if the Huangji Palace can win it, they will still have to break their muscles and bones. Therefore,

Although Dajian Qingshan will not become its pawn, and he does not need to hand over his own kendo inheritance, he still needs to exchange practitioners with each other to practice at the other party.

However, the Yun Tomb Li family used their incomparable strength to force Huangji Palace to retreat.

It is publicly recognized that the Yun Tomb Li family can live alone and occupy the Tianshan Mountains. No tribute is required, no exchanges between the two parties are required, and their independence and integrity are maintained.

Therefore, the Yun Tomb Li family and a few other immortal cultivating sects and aristocratic families have become the existence second only to Huangji Palace in the eyes of many practitioners. This kind of recognition is not only about surrendering to its strength, but also in the face of Huangji Palace.

Even though he is such a giant, he still has his own arrogance and unyielding determination.

But only a few people who stand on the top of the mountain know that if Huangji Palace kills them all, it can conquer them all, but why didn't they do this in the end?

One is because they are afraid of being attacked in groups, and the other is that there may be other reasons why they are not respected by outsiders.

When they heard that Li Yu did not deny that he was from the Li family, they were still shocked.

This shock came from his identity. With an identity like his, he could wander outside and not be found by his tribe.

But then, they thought about what he said just now, I can't practice. Could it be that this was the reason why he was abandoned by his family and wandered away?

Lu Ming asked, "Since you are from the Li family in Yun Tomb, why are you living outside?"

Shui Linglong then asked, "Yes, and what do you mean when you say you can't practice?"

Li Yu glanced at everyone and replied without sadness or joy, "My mind has been different from ordinary people's since I was a child. Since I was born, as time goes by, I know many more things than other children."

At first, my people thought I was gifted, so they had high expectations for me. When I turned one year old, the elders held a spiritual enlightenment ceremony for me alone."

Having said this, Li Yu laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Perhaps God is really fair. He gave me the ability to know what I was born to know, but took away the most important foundation for me as a member of the Li clan.

After the ceremony was completed, they discovered that I did not have the power to control spirits that the Li family was born with."

Shui Linglong asked Lie Yankong, "Senior Brother Lie, do you know what the power of controlling spirits is?"

Lie Yankong shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

The Li family has always been very mysterious. They live on top of the Tianshan Mountains and rarely interact with the outside world. Although Shenshui Palace and Huoyang Sect are ranked high in the immortal sect, they are still a long way from the Yun Tomb Li family.

It was also the first time they heard about what the power of controlling spirits is.

After hearing this, Lu Ming explained, "It is said that as members of the Li clan, from the moment they are born, they have the power to control spirits in their bodies. That power to control spirits is the basis for whether they can get a glimpse of the avenue of controlling spirits. Some of them

Some people are very strong, some people are very weak, but I have never heard of people from the Li clan not having the power to control spirits."

The two of them were not too surprised that Lu Ming could know what the power of controlling spirits was. After all, Dajian Qingshan had existed longer than the sect they were in, and his strength was not much worse than that of the Li family. Knowing that

Some of Li's secrets are also reasonable.

Shui Linglong then asked, "Are you not from the Li family?"

Before Li Yu could say anything, Lu Ming retorted, "Impossible. The Li family attaches great importance to blood, and there is no possibility of outsiders mixing in. Moreover, they have their own way of judging whether they are members of the Li family.

, since he can allow the elders to hold a spiritual enlightenment ceremony for him, it means that they recognize his identity as a member of the Li clan."

Li Yu continued, "Brother Lu is right. Some people once suspected that I was not from the Li family. After the spiritual enlightenment ceremony, they tested my bloodline and found that I was indeed from the Li family. However,

I don’t know why I don’t have the power to control spirits.”

Lie Yankong asked, "Even if you don't have the power to control spirits, your understanding should be stronger than most people due to your natural knowledge. There is no need for them to abandon you!"

Li Yu was silent and then said, "Because, after they discovered that I didn't have the power to control spirits, they then discovered that I didn't have a heavenly orifice."

It turns out that the Li family's spiritual awakening ceremony in Yun Tomb is connected with the heavenly orifice. Once the spirit cannot be awakened, it will be tested to see if there is a problem with the heavenly orifice. Unexpectedly, this test found that Li Yu did not have a heavenly orifice.

At this time, everyone was shocked. They understood how important the Heavenly Aperture is to those who cultivate immortality. A person without a Heavenly Aperture, no matter how talented he is, is just a sword that cannot open a seal. It may look good, but it doesn't. any use.

Heavenly Aperture, Heavenly Aperture, if it exists or does not exist, it is empty. There is no trace of its existence in the human body, but it actually affects those who cultivate immortality.

Some cultivators believe that the Heavenly Aperture exists in the sea of ​​consciousness, just like the eye of the sea; some believe that the Heavenly Aperture exists in the spiritual platform, leading to the avenue of heaven and earth; and some even believe that the Heavenly Aperture exists in the soul. Among them is the third eye of the immortal cultivator.

Everyone is at a loss and unable to draw a final conclusion.

But there is one thing that everyone agrees on, "No matter what the heavenly aperture is, if you have the talent to cultivate immortality, you will have the heavenly aperture. In other words, you can only practice if you have the heavenly aperture."

This was proven after long years of testing.

All people who can cultivate immortality are people with heavenly acuity.

Each immortal cultivating family and sect has its own method to tell whether the person being tested has a heavenly aperture. Those who do not have a heavenly aperture are without exception people without talent, and those who are gifted often have a heavenly aperture. orifice.

This has caused everyone to believe that the relationship between talent and heavenly orifices is equal. There is no person in the world who can be gifted without a heavenly orifice. Naturally, the prerequisite for a gifted person is the existence of a heavenly orifice.

It is often extremely troublesome to detect the heavenly aperture, but it is much simpler to detect talent. Some people with advanced cultivation can naturally see it, and some people with special abilities can also see it, such as Lu Ming.

What is talent?

For example, Lu Ming was born with a sword embryo, and his talent is related to the way of the sword. He can resonate with swords and can also sense other sword embryos.

Shui Linglong's talent is to control water, so her talent is to be close to water. A common talent is to be able to sink into water without taking a breath.

Lie Yankong is good at arson. His talent is to absorb enough light and heat from the sun, and it is common to use this to form flames.

These talents all show that they are naturally close to a certain kind of avenue, but the degree of closeness varies.

However, people like Li Yu who are talented but have no heavenly acuity have really refreshed their cognitive abilities, and they even have some doubts about whether Li Yu is lying to them.

However, if he had lied to them, he would not have fallen to this and been abandoned by the Li family?

After everyone heard what Li Yu said, they were all stunned.

As a member of the Li clan, it is surprising enough that he does not have the power to control spirits. I did not expect that as a member of the Li clan, he does not have the most important heavenly orifice for a practitioner. One can imagine how seriously he will be discriminated against by the Li clan. .

Lu Ming then asked, "Then how did you end up here?"

Li Yu looked up at the already bright sky, feeling a little hateful, a little angry, a little unwilling, and a little resigned, "After I was considered a waste, the clan ignored me. My grandfather took care of me, and later he also He died during a mission. Until two years ago, the clan wanted to select some people to go out for training, and I was arranged to go with them. I knew that someone did this deliberately, and I also knew that their purpose was to find an opportunity to take me out in secret. He was killed, so after I came out of the mountain, I found an opportunity to escape, and then I made my way here."

It's very simple for Li Yu to say it, but if you think about it for a moment, you will know how much grievance and torture he suffered without anyone in the clan to take care of him, and how much hardship he went through after escaping before he met his grandmother who was kind to him.

Shui Linglong hates those ambitious people, but she also knows that cultivating immortals may sound like a fairy tale, but only they know how fierce the competition is among the weak and the strong.

She asked, "Didn't they chase you after you escaped?"

Li Yu said, "The clan prohibits people from killing each other. Although I am trash in their eyes, I will be punished once I die in the hands of my own people. Therefore, their purpose is just to bring me out and then find an opportunity to push me away."

Go to death, so that they can get rid of me without letting their hands get stained with my blood."

"The fact that I can take the initiative to escape means to them that maybe I won't survive at all. If I can't survive, why would they look for me in such a big way? They can find a reason to erase all traces of me."

All three of them understood that this was a deliberate murder. In fact, this could be seen from the fact that they brought a three-year-old child out for training, because no sect would send out a three-year-old child.

More likely, they were afraid that something would happen to Li Yu's life, so they planned to attack him first when he was weak.

Lu Ming and the other three were silent for a while, and then he asked, "What about your parents? Is there no one else in your lineage?"

Li Yudao, "I was born without knowing where my parents were. The only person who took care of me was my grandfather. I heard from others that they also died while participating in a mission. However, I asked my grandfather and he didn't say anything. He only asked me

Live well, even if you don't have your parents, he will take good care of me. As for our lineage, there is no one else left, only me and my grandfather are left."

The three of them couldn't help but sigh. With such conditions and being in such a powerful family, one can imagine how difficult his life would be. It's no wonder that he has such deep feelings for his grandmother.

After Li Yu finished speaking, he smiled helplessly and said, "So, do you still think I can take revenge with my own strength?"

The three of them were silent, and Li Yu continued, "As long as I can practice, I will live. But the facts are in front of me, and I have to bow to my fate."

"I also want to live a good life and protect the people and things I want to protect, but God does not give me this opportunity."
