————————————
In ancient times, demons and gods fought for chaos, the mysterious yellow wept and blood, and the sun and the moon were gone.
In the end, the sky collapsed, the ten directions were boundless, and the galaxy was destroyed.
So in the vast sea of stars, there is a small world called "There are no respects to gods and demons, no sacrifices to heaven and earth, only practicing the path of immortality, and only seeking immortality.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are common human feelings, and we cannot find it.
The heaven and earth move, the universe is in order, and the effort is reversed.
Cause and effect cycle, endless life, and it is also painful to restore it.
The eternal sky, the galaxy has no boundaries, and immortality has the truth.

Taixuanzhou, Dongling Border City.
This place is located on the border of the Tang Dynasty and borders the Song Dynasty. There is the Grand Canal in the north and the Ancient Horse Road in the south. It can be said to be well-connected and prosperous in trade.
It is the winter solstice now, and caravans from all over the streets are coming and going, with crowds of people, bustling traffic and bustling.
There are a wide variety of shops on both sides of the street, and the advertisements made by the Xuanguang Mirror are even more colorful. Some projection weapons and protective gear, some projection spirit beast magic weapons, as well as magic medicines, and magic medicines, and treasures of heaven and earth.
...
Xiandao Academy, Class 9, 6th year.
At this time, an old master was giving lectures in the hall, talking nonstop... Behind him was a huge mysterious mirror, which reflected a pattern of human body structure, as well as some principles and common problems of practice.
Basics of Immortal Cultivation...
A brief discussion on the meditation of the meditation and visualization...
About the origin of the Nine Palaces and Bagua…
On the significance of the three souls and seven spirits to practice...
The old master spoke very seriously and meticulously, but unfortunately the dozens of students sitting below were unintentionally listening.
Most of these students are eleven or twelve years old, wearing uniform long gowns, either whispering to each other or dozing off, and the books on the table are rarely flipped.
"Alas! I asked, "Immortality is hard to find immortality... You are already mediocre, but you are unwilling to work hard. It is really a rotten wood that cannot be carved!"
The old master was obviously used to such a scene. He sighed a few words but was too lazy to ask, and still explained the basics of cultivating immortals.
In fact, Class 9 of Sixth Year is a class about to graduate and has always been in a hang-out state in the Immortal Dao Academy. There are not many hard-working students. Many of them can sit here just to complete the six-year Immortal Dao school.
As the saying goes, state has national laws, and immortals have rules.
In the Xianqiu Continent, the fairy style is prosperous and the mind is open-minded. No matter which country or where, everyone can cultivate immortality. Only by completing the immortal learning can they have their own identity marks, either practice, learn skills, or work... They will not be inferior to others when they grow up.
Of course, there are always exceptions in everything, and Zhuo Yunxian is an alternative to Class 9, 6th Year.
Zhuo Yunxian was born in a family of immortals and inherited the excellent bloodline of his parents. He was not only smart and handsome, but also very smart since childhood, but also very studious. He also has a gentle personality and is more calm and sensible than most of his peers. Unfortunately, he is innately deficient and difficult to cultivate the immortals.
A person has three souls and seven spirits, which represents the head of all spirits and means perfection.
However, the way of heaven is lacking. If you want to become a true immortal cultivator, you must awaken the three souls and refine the seven souls in order to open up the potential of the body and finally condense the foundation of the way of immortality.
The name "Zhuo Yunxian" represents the parents' expectations for him, hoping that the child can become an immortal. Unfortunately, when Zhuo Yunxian was six years old, the Zhuo family tested his qualifications for three souls and seven spirits, but found that Zhuo Yunxian was born to lack a soul.
Yes, although Zhuo Yunxian was very smart since childhood and his behavior was no different from that of ordinary people, he was born with innate shortcomings and could not achieve success even if he had to practice hard. He even had a weak constitution since childhood. If Zhuo Yunxian had not been born in a family of immortals and had many spiritual medicines to nourish him, he might have died a long time ago.
...
The old master obviously noticed Zhuo Yunxian, because only Zhuo Yunxian in the class was still listening carefully.
Putting aside his identity and background, Master Lao likes and regrets such hard-working students.
Zhuo Yunxian stayed in the Immortal Dao Academy for six years, never came late and left early. When he had time, he stayed in the school library and was flipping through various classics. It is said that he had read all the books collected by the Zhuo family.
The old master believes that if Zhuo Yunxian had three souls and seven spirits, he would definitely become the genius of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Perhaps... this is what the ancient sages often say that no one is perfect, and God is jealous of the talents!
...
"Zhuo Yunxian, all he learned in six years is the path of immortality. Now let me tell you, what is the path of immortality?"
When Zhuo Yunxian heard the old master's questioning, he was stunned, and the classmates around him gradually became quiet.
What is the path of immortality? Is it still necessary to ask such a simple question?
Many students sneered at it. Isn’t the practice of immortality just for immortality? Isn’t it just for being arrogant and glorious? Who doesn’t want to live longer? Who doesn’t want to live more nourishing?
Zhuo Yunxian pondered slightly and did not rush to answer. The old Master's question seemed simple, but it directly pointed to the root of immortal cultivation... More accurately, it directly pointed to the original heart.
Different people have different pursuits. They have different purposes for cultivating immortality, and their understanding of the path of immortality is naturally different.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Yunxian tidied up his clothes, stood up and bowed, "Students believe that immortality is a kind of faith, immortality, freedom, and supremeness, this is my immortal path."
"Puchi! I'm so hilarious!"
"Yes, yes, who can't brag?"
"A person who can't even sense spiritual power will say that he is free and easy, transcendent and supreme, he is simply that, hehehe!"
...
The classmates around me didn't think so. In their opinion, immortality is enough.
Listening to the students' sarcasm, Zhuo Yunxian lowered his head slightly. He did not argue, nor was he angry, but was just a little silent.
He knew that his three souls were missing, but he never gave up on his pursuit of the path of immortality, and even insisted on practicing and visualizing the prayer wheel every day. This is a pure yearning, just like a person's love for beautiful things.
In fact, children born on the Xianqiong Continent have simple purposes for cultivating immortals. However, as they grow older and have conflicts of interests, everyone's ideas gradually become less pure.
"Zhuo Yunxian, you have good ambitions!"
The old master smiled and was obviously quite satisfied with Zhuo Yunxian's answer. As for the ridicule of some students, the old master didn't care.
Many students' expressions changed slightly, either disdain or jealous... Zhuo Yunxian was obviously inferior to them, but he was even praised by his master. It was ridiculous!
As soon as he turned around, the old master asked again: "Zhuo Yunxian, you read a lot of books, how much do you know about the ancient immortal path?"
The ancient immortal way!?
The students around were stunned. They only knew how to practice the immortal way, but they did not know about the ancient immortal way. After all, an outdated inheritance system, what should I do if I know so much?
Zhuo Yunxian carefully recalled the classics he had read and slowly spoke: "The way of immortality originates from the three thousand great ways, which is illusory, but the ancient immortality is the most mysterious. Refining qi into essence, refining essence into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness into Taoism, refining emptiness into Taoism, and returning to Taoism can naturally become immortals... This is the so-called simplest way."
"The way is simple, what a way is simple! These four words are summarized in detail."
The old master nodded slightly, and his smile became even stronger.
