"I have only heard that the underworld is not as good as the Three Pure Realms. Today, I realized that this is all nonsense. I don't know when the will of the underworld has become so strange."
He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the impression Jiang Lu left on the world was all a false one, and that he was actually hiding even deeper than his brother, secretly managing the underworld to such a terrifying degree?
The performer was also shocked by the beautiful scenery and subconsciously murmured: "Potala...Potala..."
Scythe suddenly came to his senses after hearing this, covered his mouth and warned: "Be careful with your words!"
The performer suddenly realized what was happening and explained awkwardly, "Ah, I actually wanted to say Labrador."
"Row."
Only the three girls always felt that something was not right.
Hong Yi took two steps forward, frowned and twitched his nose. In an instant he smelled a familiar and rich scent and suddenly realized something.
Then her frown relaxed, she lowered her head with some fear and anticipation, and reached out to touch her belly.
"You still have this ability..."
The other two were also shocked, and then they realized that Jiang Lu had always been giving in to them. Isn't this a kind of love and pampering?
He was secretly happy and relieved at the same time. Since he had so much porridge, he didn't have to worry about the shortage of porridge in the future.
While he was thinking, the dilapidated trial tower finally collapsed suddenly.
A cloud of dust rose in the distance.
A figure emerged leisurely from the haze and walked towards the city gate step by step.
With every step he took, his tattered battle robe became a little more repaired, the originally gray brick wall of the house behind him gained a little more color, and a little bit of life appeared in the barren and silent land.
"Next year, perhaps new life will be born in this dead city?"
Xuannv muttered to herself with emotion.
Lu Qing nodded. Obviously, she knew Bai Shuang's true nature and agreed with Xuannv's speculation.
Only Hong Yi shook his head.
She knew very well that Jiang Lu had been sterilized long ago.
Soon, Jiang Lu came in front of everyone.
He looked a little tired, but from his bright eyes, one could feel his abundant spirit.
He has been transformed.
"It's really hard to get used to seeing you like this..." Dong Wanggong smiled.
The sickle and the performers were even more at a loss.
The former henchman suddenly became a big shot, which made them feel complicated. Some were relieved, some were emotional, and some didn't know how to get along with him in the future.
"Successful?" Scythe asked simply.
"Yeah." Jiang Lu nodded and answered briefly.
He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body.
This power is very strange, yet very familiar.
This can only be considered as regaining what was lost, but for some reason, Jiang Lu always feels that he is stronger now than when he just became an immortal, but he can't tell in what way.
Is it because of different methods or different mindset?
The first time he overcame the tribulation, he took the normal route, facing the true immortal tribulation directly, and he didn't even think about his first love.
Even though until now, the face of his first love is still very blurry and he can't even remember her name, but the enlightenment he has gained now after being free from all worldly desires seems to have brought him more than the obsession at that time to get rid of impotence after becoming an immortal.
So...want to go look for it?
Jiang Lu didn't have this idea either.
It was indeed an unforgettable experience. What's past is past. Nothing is perfect. Being too attached to something is not beautiful.
Memories are beautiful because they are just memories. If memories shine into reality, the filter may break.
So what’s more important is what happens next.
Jiang Lu turned his head and looked into the distance, then narrowed his eyes slightly to cover up the dim golden light in his pupils.
"What's wrong?" Hong Yi asked.
"We were discovered." Jiang Lu replied: "Yuanshi Tianzun finally discovered us."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the sky above them was covered by a distorted black curtain.
The next moment, countless figures suddenly appeared above the black curtain.
Although they were far away, each of these figures exuded an extremely powerful aura of pressure.
An old man with long white hair and beard, wearing a washed gray Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, was in the front row. He glanced down from time to time, but it seemed that he could not see Jiang Lu Miaomiao's house at all.
He showed a puzzled expression: "This place is filled with extremely yin energy. This should be the place where the evil spirits were born as Yuanshi said. But why..."
After searching a few more times and finding nothing, he had no choice but to take people to check nearby.
When they were far away, Dong Wanggong was shocked: "Daode Tianzun..."
"It must be that Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't leave, so he finally sent other people from the fairy world to encircle and suppress us." Hong Yi speculated.
"That should be the case." Dong Wanggong nodded.
"I have blocked the world's will here so that this place will not be discovered, but this is only a temporary measure. I can't do anything to Yuanshi Tianzun for now."
Jiang Lu said seriously:
"I have just become an immortal. Like the Queen Mother of the West, I am still some distance away from the realm of the Lord God. I still need some time. During this period, there is no need to cause trouble."
"What should we do now?"
"Just come and sit in my wonderful house first."
Jiang Lu turned around and said seriously:
“My house is pretty big.”
Chapter 380 Back Room
Walking through the snow-covered streets, everyone followed Jiang Lu all the way to the palace in the deepest part of the royal city.
As they were walking along the long street, Dong Wangong, the sickle and the performer had already sensed that something was wrong.
But seeing that Jiang Lu and the three women in front of them didn't show anything unusual, the three of them looked at each other and had an expression that said "If you don't say anything, I won't say anything either."
The vermilion gate was inlaid with copper nails, sparkling in the sun.
Pushing open the long-dust palace door, Jiang Lu waved his hand to dispel the old and ancient atmosphere full of age. In the blink of an eye, the dust and gravel in the hall disappeared without a trace, replaced by bright and clean furnishings as new.
The interior of the hall was decorated magnificently. Twelve stone pillars carved with different auspicious beasts supported the ceiling. The walls were hung with brocade tapestries and the floor was covered with red velvet carpets made of unknown material. They were soft and comfortable to walk on. In the center of the hall stood a gorgeous dragon throne, and on both sides of the throne stood tall jade screens carved with lifelike dragon and phoenix patterns.
Although the hall was empty at this moment, the extremely luxurious style alone gave people a glimpse of the glory and bustle of the past.
The palace maids were dressed in gauze, looking graceful and dancing elegantly. Jiang Lu drank and had fun every day, indulging in sensual pleasures.
Such a picture comes alive on the paper, and I can still seem to hear the sound of stringed instruments and bamboo music that never stopped playing all day long.
"Does it sound good?"
Just when several people were intoxicated by the ethereal palace tune that was faintly heard in their ears, Jiang Lu suddenly asked.
Everyone looked and found Jiang Lu standing in the corner with a very classic gramophone next to him.
Scythe wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead: "So it wasn't an auditory hallucination..."
Jiang Lu turned off the phonograph and said with a smug smile, "I stole a lot of foreign stuff when I attacked Paradise before. It wasn't just this. I also stole a lot of good stuff. The severed hand of Venus is still in my Big Yin Museum."
"But isn't Venus from Olympus?" Dong Wanggong wondered.
"It doesn't matter. I am a coalition army of one country, fighting against eight of them. In fact, I was the one who burned down the pyramids." Jiang Lu was very domineering.
They were speechless. They had just felt that he had gained some divinity after overcoming the calamity, but they didn't expect it to disappear so easily.
However, when Olympus was mentioned, Jiang Lu thought of something.
"Hmm...wait a minute. I was having a headache originally. I don't have any skills right now. How can I quickly cultivate to the realm of the Lord God? But when you mentioned Olympus, I remembered an old friend of mine." He murmured.
"Old friend?"
"Yes."
Jiang Lu nodded seriously:
"You may have heard of that old friend. His name is Zeus. He doesn't have a very good reputation. I'm actually just an acquaintance of him. We're not close. We've only met a few times. I've occasionally heard about some of his more outrageous behaviors, and I don't like them. I always take them as a warning. So even though I say we're old friends, we're not familiar with each other. I need to emphasize this point."
“You’re stacking buffs here?” the performer complained.
"Anyway." Jiang Lu didn't care: "He once gave me a secret technique that he had compiled for me to study. Although their cultivation system is slightly different from ours, it can be shared after my improvement. Now it is just right for me to use."
"That's not right." Scythe keenly caught the loophole: "You two have an ordinary relationship, why would he pass on the secret technique to you? Are you sure it's not a trap? After all, didn't you just say that you also attacked Olympus and stole Venus's broken arm?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Lu's face flashed with embarrassment, his eyes dodged: "A trap... It shouldn't be that serious. This person is stubborn and arrogant. Although he has a grudge, he is likely to share the good stuff. He is just showing off. He dares to do things like shitting on the street. It's normal for him to show off with good stuff, right?"
Scythe narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.
The unnatural expression, repetitive words and far-fetched reasons all prove that Jiang Lu is lying. Even if he is not lying, he must be hiding something.
But since he didn't want to say it, Scythe didn't bother to ask any more questions. In fact, based on the personalities of the two, he could probably guess what kind of mess was going on.
"So what exactly is it?" Hong Yi urged Jiang Lu to speak quickly.
Jiang Luze said succinctly: "Dual cultivation."
“Dual cultivation?” Dong Wanggong said disdainfully: “I thought it was something extraordinary. Dual cultivation is also practiced in the Three Pure Ones. The Hehuan Sect is the most accomplished one, and it’s just a side sect.”
Hearing this, Jiang Lu felt a little embarrassed. Although dual cultivation was not something high-end that could be boasted about, it was the painstaking work of him and his good brother Zeus, and he would never allow others to slander it.
"How much do you know!"
Jiang Lu pointed at the void:
"Those inferior things, what about the Hehuan Sect? Have they ever produced a main god? It's hard for them to become immortals. A bolt of lightning will kill these beakers, and the pink ones will be turned black. How can this compare to our hard work?
I'm not bragging to you, our dual cultivation can be used not only after becoming an immortal, but also after becoming a master god. It is not comparable to those vulgar and evil ways."
After these words were spoken, Duke Dong became more serious.
