Chapter 1813: Enlightenment by the River

"Why don't you go ask?" The green-robed old man next to him raised his eyelids and urged.

"Ask? Who to ask? I'm not familiar with them?" The red-robed old man said in embarrassment.

"Of course, ask someone who can keep his word. Judging from the current situation, it should be the white-robed boy on the stage. When he comes down, you can go find him." Another person interrupted.

While the scattered cultivators were talking, Lu Li had finished his speech. After handing the next thing to Yu Wenshu, he got off the high platform alone and walked towards the intersection on the north side of the square.

But at this moment, a red light suddenly flashed towards him. Lu Li was not stunned yet, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Is there something this senior has to ask?"

"Ahem, don't call me that, my friend!"

The red-robed old man bowed awkwardly and smiled: "Actually, I have something to ask you."

"Oh? What's the matter, brother?" Lu Li said with a little surprise.

"It's like this. It's rare for us casual cultivators to find a place suitable for our cultivation. Thanks to the care of Senior He, we have a place to stay in Lingwu Immortal Domain. Now Lingwu has a master, and we are reluctant to leave. So, a few old brothers asked me to come and ask if we can also join the Supreme Heaven." The red-robed old man said with expectation.

So that's it.

Hearing this, Lu Li was immediately happy.

He had actually communicated with Yu Wenshu secretly, asking Yu Wenshu to ask these casual cultivators later whether they were willing to join the Supreme Heaven, but he didn't have much hope for the Xuanxian-level strongmen.

But he never thought that these Xuanxian strongmen would take the initiative to propose. It's really 'no effort to find it after searching everywhere'?

However, Lu Li looked calm on the surface, and even pretended to hesitate: "Brother, are you serious?"

"Really! Absolutely true, as long as you take me in, I, Wen Ting, will be your Supreme Heaven in the future, and I will never betray you!" The red-robed old man said seriously.

"Okay! Since Brother Wen said so, I won't beat around the bush. What I want to say is that we have rules in the Supreme Heaven. No matter how high or low your cultivation level is, you have to leave a blood soul tablet when you enter. Does this matter...do you mind, brother?"

"That's easy to say. We have all lived for more than 100,000 or 200,000 years. Although we have never joined a sect, we still understand some of the sect's rules." Wen Ting replied.

"Haha! In that case, there is nothing to say. Brother, I sincerely welcome you to join the Supreme Heaven." Lu Li laughed and agreed readily.

"Okay! In that case, then I will go and tell those old brothers?"

"Well, thank you Brother Wen for saying a few good words for me. In fact, I have wanted to invite you to join for a long time, but I think that strong people like you may not like to be subject to such constraints." Lu Li said sincerely.

"Hey! Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? What kind of constraints are there? We just don't like the other six factions. If there is a safe and comfortable place, who would want to hide here and there?" After hearing Lu Li's words, Wen Ting couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Lu Li.

The two exchanged a few polite words. Lu Li told Wen Ting that he could contact Yu Wenshu directly after he made contact. Wen Ting agreed, said goodbye and walked quickly towards the group of casual cultivators.

Lu Li flew straight out along the wide road to the north.

About a quarter of an hour later, he came to the foot of a majestic peak, and the wide road also came to an end. In front of him was a slope of stairs that went up diagonally. On both sides of the stairs, palaces and halls were layered up, and the layout was almost the same as the heavenly palace of the first heaven.

Lu Li flashed up the stairs and landed on a small square. Looking up, at the end of the square was still a magnificent giant palace with the words "Supreme Heavenly Palace" written on it.

Lu Li did not enter the palace. He followed a quiet path on the right side of the square to the back mountain. Looking up, although there was no lake behind him, there was an extremely large valley.

There were patches of primitive jungles in the valley, as well as vast flower meadows and a clear stream winding between the grasslands and jungles. The quiet and simple courtyard was located beside the stream in the center of the valley, with its back against the jungle and facing the grassland, as beautiful as a painting.

Lu Li flashed down and landed outside the courtyard. He slowly pushed open the courtyard door made of logs. Suddenly, a faint floral fragrance came to his nose. Looking for the fragrance, it turned out that there was an old peach tree in full bloom planted on the east side of the courtyard.

But outside the courtyard, this floral fragrance could not be smelled. It can be seen that this seemingly ordinary farmyard is actually not simple. There should be some kind of isolation restriction.

Lao Tao's subordinates still built a stone table and several stone benches. The layout was similar to the Lingyan Lake courtyard in the first heaven. It can be seen that Yu Wenshu was also attentive.

Lu Li sighed and let Chan Bao out.

Chan Bao looked around, "Huh? Where is this? Didn't we leave the sect?"

Lu Li smiled and sat down at the table, then told Chan Bao what was happening. Chan Bao suddenly realized and patted her chest, "I was scared to death. I thought I was back again."

Lu Li smiled but didn't say anything, and took water to make tea.

Chan Bao's eyes rolled around and she ran out of the yard. When she saw the clear stream and the vast flower meadow in front of her, she was immediately happy: "Wow! It's so beautiful."

Lu Li held the teacup, but slowly put it down, looking like he was worried.

After a while, he sighed, drank the tea in the cup, then stood up, walked out of the yard, sat down on a stone slab by the stream, and stared at the stream quietly.

The pleasant sound of the rushing water seemed to flow into Lu Li's heart, constantly washing his soul.

"Standing alone on the stone bridge, the shadow of the person does not follow the flowing water."

Looking at the reflection of the stubborn stone in the water, Lu Li's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the secret realm of Tianyan, and an old voice sounded in his ears.

At the same time, an old man in white clothes and white hair appeared in front of him. He held a long scroll in his hand and looked at Lu Li with a smile on his face: "Everyone! This is the first question of the preliminary selection. After an incense stick, I will come down to check. Those who fail will be eliminated."

Lu Li looked dazed and muttered to himself: "Looking at the moon on the lonely mountain, homesickness follows the bright moon again."

The old man smiled and shook his head: "No, no..."

And Lu Li seemed not to hear the old man's words. The scene in his eyes had changed again. He stood on the hillside of the back mountain of Dashi Village, staring at two almost invisible graves.

"Dad, Mom..." Lu Li muttered to himself, and two lines of tears burst out unconsciously.

"After thousands of years of cultivation, everything has disappeared in the long river of time. The child has finally become stronger, but you can no longer see me in a high position, dominating..."

"Time is flowing, where are you going?"

"It is said that if you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Tell me, is the child standing on the stone bridge and never moving, or is the stone bridge just slowly moving up along the long river..."

Lu Li suddenly became confused and sat there motionless. The stream in front of him was still flowing, but his eyes were filled with a gray breath and he ignored it.

Can time really be reversed?

No, that's not right!

Time is irreversible, or in other words, there is no word "time" in this world, there is only the alternation of sun and moon...

What Lu Li didn't know at this moment was that he fell into the state of enlightenment again.
