Chapter 596

Fu Shaoping, Nangong Wan and Li Kuangdao were discussing Taoism on a mountaintop. Suddenly, a strange wave came from the sky, as if some ancient power was awakening. Li Kuangdao looked up into the distance, with a flash of excitement in his eyes, and said, "My two Taoist friends, have you ever felt that wave?"

Fu Shaoping looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, this wave contains an ancient and powerful aura, which seems to be related to the legendary Penglai Mountain."

Nangong Wan said softly: "I once read in an ancient book that Penglai Mountain is a holy place for ancient cultivators, which contains countless opportunities and secret treasures. Could it be that the ruins of Penglai Mountain are about to be opened?"

Li Kuangdao laughed and said, "That's right! I heard that the Penglai Mountain ruins will only be opened once every thousand years, and now is the time to open it. Two Taoist friends, why don't we go together and find out what's going on?"

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes. Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice: "The Penglai Mountain Ruins is a legendary holy place in the cultivation world. If we can enter it, we may be able to obtain supreme opportunities. We might as well give it a try."

Nangong Wan chuckled and said, "Shao Ping, Fellow Daoist Li, let's set off now and head to Penglai Mountain."

The three of them had made up their minds and immediately used their body skills to rush towards the direction where the vibration came from. Along the way, they saw many cultivators rushing to Penglai Mountain, obviously attracted by the strange phenomenon of the ruins.

Soon after, the three of them came to a sea. On the sea, a towering mountain was looming, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it was suspended in the sky. On the mountain, ancient palaces and ruins could be vaguely seen, exuding a mysterious and powerful atmosphere.

Li Kuangdao said excitedly: "My two Taoist friends, that is Penglai Mountain! Let's go in quickly, otherwise we will miss the opportunity!"

Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Although there are opportunities in the Penglai Mountain Ruins, there are also dangers everywhere. We need to act carefully."

Nangong Wan said softly: "Shao Ping is right, we need to act cautiously and not be careless."

The three of them used their skills to fly towards Penglai Mountain. When they approached the mountain, they suddenly felt a strong restraining force. Fu Shaoping whispered, "This is the Penglai Mountain's mountain protection formation, which needs to be broken with spiritual power."

The three of them used their spiritual power to work together to break the ban and successfully entered Penglai Mountain.

Inside Penglai Mountain, ancient palaces and ruins are everywhere, each exuding a mysterious and powerful atmosphere. The three of them explored carefully, and suddenly, Nangong Wan whispered: "Look, there is a stone tablet over there!"

The three approached the stone tablet and saw ancient characters engraved on it, emitting a faint light. Fu Shaoping carefully identified them and said in a deep voice: "This is the text of an ancient cultivator, recording a magic technique called 'Tian Yan Shu'."

Li Kuangdao said excitedly: "Tian Yan Shu? It sounds extraordinary! Two Taoist friends, why don't we try to comprehend it!"

The three of them sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the words on the stone tablet. After a while, they felt a powerful force surge into their bodies, as if they had merged with the heaven and earth.

Fu Shaoping whispered: "The Heavenly Evolution Technique is a precious technique for deducing the mysteries of heaven and foreseeing the future. If you can master this technique, you may be able to gain an advantage in the future."

Nangong Wan said softly: "This technique is indeed extremely mysterious, but it is also extremely difficult to practice. We need to practice more before we can master it."

Li Kuangdao laughed and said, "My two Taoist friends, we might as well use the Tianyan technique as a guide to continue exploring Penglai Mountain. Perhaps we can find more opportunities!"

Fu Shaoping, Nangong Wan and Li Kuangdao continued to explore deeper in Penglai Mountain. Suddenly, they came to an ancient altar. The altar was engraved with complex runes, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura. Nangong Wan whispered: "Look, these runes seem to be related to the legendary 'Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man'."

Fu Shaoping looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "The Five Decays of Heaven and Man is a supreme magical power created by ancient cultivators. It is said to be able to reverse life and death and transcend reincarnation. If you can master this technique, you may be able to gain an advantage in the future."

Li Kuangdao said excitedly: "My two Taoist friends, why don't we try to comprehend it and see if we can comprehend the complete divine power of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man!"

The three of them sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the runes on the altar. After a moment, they felt a powerful force surge into their bodies, as if they had merged with the heaven and earth.

Fu Shaoping whispered, "The Five Decays of Heaven and Earth are divided into five stages: birth, aging, illness, death, and extinction. Each stage contains endless truths of the Great Dao. If you can fully master it, you can transcend life and death and reverse reincarnation."

Nangong Wan said softly: "This technique is indeed extremely mysterious, but it is also extremely difficult to practice. We need to practice more before we can master it."

Li Kuangdao laughed and said, "My two Taoist friends, we might as well use the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man as a guide to continue exploring Penglai Mountain. Perhaps we can find more opportunities!"

The three continued to go deeper into Penglai Mountain. Along the way, they discovered many ancient magic and secret treasures, each of which contained powerful power. They collected them carefully, their hearts filled with excitement and anticipation.

In the following days, the three began to practice the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. They found that each stage of practice required extremely high understanding and perseverance. Fu Shaoping focused on the "birth" stage, trying to understand the true meaning of life; Nangong Wan focused on the "old" stage, trying to understand the mystery of time; Li Kuangdao focused on the "disease" stage, trying to master the power of healing and destruction.

After several months of practice, the three finally mastered the various stages of the Five Degenerations of the Celestial Being. Fu Shaoping whispered, "The Five Degenerations of the Celestial Being is indeed extraordinary. If we can fully master it, we may be able to gain an advantage in the future."

Nangong Wan said softly: "This technique is indeed extremely mysterious, but it is also extremely difficult to practice. We need to practice more before we can master it."

In the following exploration, the three began to use the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man. They found that this technique could not only reverse life and death, but also see through the secrets of heaven and predict the future. Fu Shaoping whispered: "The Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man are indeed extraordinary. If you can fully master them, you may be able to gain an advantage in the future."

Nangong Wan said softly: "This technique is indeed extremely mysterious, but it is also extremely difficult to practice. We need to practice more before we can master it."

The three continued to go deeper into Penglai Mountain. Along the way, they encountered many crises, but also gained countless opportunities. Their story gradually spread in the world of cultivation and became a legend. The understanding and application of the Five Deterioration of Heaven and Man also became an unforgettable memory in their hearts.

Fu Shaoping, Nangong Wan and Li Kuangdao continued to explore deeper in Penglai Mountain. Suddenly, they came to a deep valley. In the valley, a strong demonic aura rushed over, making people panic. Fu Shaoping looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, there is a strong demonic aura here, I'm afraid there is a demon beast in the late stage of fusion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge monster rushed out from the depths of the valley, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes, and rushed straight towards the three people. This monster was huge, covered with hard scales, and spewed hot flames from its mouth. It was obviously at the late stage of fusion.

Li Kuangdao shouted loudly, drew out his long sword, and said heroically: "My two Taoist friends, let me deal with this monster!"

Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Li, don't be careless! This monster is very powerful, we need to join forces to fight it!"

Nangong Wan said softly, "Shao Ping is right, we need to be cautious and not be careless." However, Li Kuangdao had already rushed forward, waving his sword, and the sword energy was running wildly, approaching the monster. The monster roared and performed the first magic - **Fire Burning Sky**, and the blazing flames instantly surrounded Li Kuangdao.

Li Kuangdao shouted loudly and used his spiritual power to try to resist the attack of the flames. However, the monster's second magic - **Thunderbolt** followed closely, and countless thunderbolts fell from the sky and hit Li Kuangdao directly.

Li Kuangdao fought hard, but he was ultimately unable to resist the powerful force of the late-stage fusion monster. His body was gradually engulfed by the flames and thunder, and he finally fell to the ground, his breath weak.

Seeing this, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan felt great pain in their hearts. Fu Shaoping growled, "Daoyou Li!"

Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with determination, and he said softly: "Shao Ping, we need to avenge Fellow Daoist Li!"

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes. Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice: "Nangong, let's use the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man to avenge Fellow Daoist Li!"

Nangong Wan nodded and said softly: "Okay!"

The two of them circulated their spiritual power and began to perform the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man. Fu Shaoping whispered: "The Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man - **Rebirth**!"

A strong vitality surged out of Fu Shaoping's body, trying to repair Li Kuangdao's injuries. However, Li Kuangdao's injuries were too severe for the vitality to reverse.

Nangong Wan said softly: "The Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man - **Age**!"

A force of time surged out of Nangong Wan's body, trying to slow down the monster's movements. The monster's body stagnated slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Fu Shaoping growled, "The Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man - **disease**!"

A destructive force surged out of Fu Shaoping's body and rushed directly towards the monster. The monster's body trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Nangong Wan said softly: "The Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man - **Death**!"

A force of death surged out of Nangong Wan's body and rushed towards the monster. The monster's body trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Fu Shaoping roared: "The Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man - **Destruction**!"

A destructive force surged out of Fu Shaoping's body and rushed towards the monster. The monster's body finally began to collapse and eventually turned into ashes.

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan came to Li Kuangdao's side and found that he was already dead. Fu Shaoping whispered: "Friend Li..."

Nangong Wan said softly: "Shao Ping, Fellow Daoist Li has already gone."

Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice: "Daoyou Li was generous and straightforward, and fought alongside us. But he died here today. It is really sad."

Nangong Wan said softly: "Shao Ping, we need to avenge Li Daoyou and fulfill his unfulfilled wish."

Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right. We will definitely avenge Fellow Daoist Li!"

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan placed Li Kuangdao's body in a quiet valley, surrounded by gentle breezes, birds chirping and flowers blooming, as if the heaven and earth were bidding farewell to this bold and straightforward swordsman. The two looked solemn, their hearts filled with grief and respect.

Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice: "Daoyou Li was bold and straightforward throughout his life, and his swordsmanship was unparalleled. It is really sad that he died in battle today. We need to hold a solemn burial ceremony for him to show our respect."

Nangong Wan said softly: "Shao Ping is right, Fellow Daoist Li's heroic spirit needs to rest in peace."

The two chose a Feng Shui treasure land in the valley and dug a deep pit. Fu Shaoping gently placed Li Kuangdao's body into the pit, then took out a spiritual stone and said in a deep voice: "Daoyou Li, this spiritual stone is a treasure I have treasured for many years. I give it to you today. I hope you can feel our heart even in the underworld."

Nangong Wan said softly: "Friend Li, you have pursued the way of swordsmanship all your life. Although you died in battle today, your spirit of swordsmanship will live forever in the world. We will definitely fulfill your unfulfilled wish."

The two put the spirit stone into the pit and then began to fill it with soil. Every shovel of soil seemed to express their remembrance and respect for Li Kuangdao. After filling the soil, Fu Shaoping took out a stone tablet, engraved the words "Tomb of Sword Cultivator Li Kuangdao" on it, and then placed the stone tablet in front of the tomb.

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan sat cross-legged in front of the tomb and began to hold a ritual to pray for Li Kuangdao. Fu Shaoping whispered, "Daoyou Li, we are praying for you. May your heroic soul rest in peace and be reincarnated soon."

Nangong Wan said softly: "Friend Li, you have been bold and straightforward throughout your life, and your swordsmanship is unparalleled. Although you died in battle today, your spirit will live on forever. We will definitely fulfill your unfulfilled wish."

The two of them circulated their spiritual power and began to recite the scriptures for salvation. As the scriptures were recited, a faint golden light gradually rose in front of the tomb, as if Li Kuangdao's heroic soul was being saved.

Fu Shaoping whispered, "Friend Li, I hope you can feel our love even in your grave. We will definitely fulfill your unfulfilled wish."

After the salvation ceremony, the golden light in front of the tomb gradually dissipated, as if Li Kuangdao's heroic spirit had rested in peace. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan stood up, with a hint of determination in their eyes.

Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice: "Friend Li, you have been bold and straightforward throughout your life, and your swordsmanship is unparalleled. Although you died in battle today, your spirit will live on forever. We will definitely fulfill your unfulfilled wish."

Nangong Wan said softly: "Shao Ping, we need to avenge Li Daoyou and fulfill his unfulfilled wish."

Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right. We will definitely avenge Fellow Daoist Li!"

The two bowed deeply in front of the tomb, then turned and left. (End of this chapter)
