Cthulhu Fantasy : I Am The Great Old One

"Bang, bang, bang..."    

The continuous sounds of explosions rang out as the target with fish heads were smashed one after another.    

He looked at the female ghosts practicing shooting. - - - -now these female cultivators who were no different from real people could no longer be called female ghosts. The Six Legged Beast that covered its carapace nodded and looked at the man in the moon-white Daoist robe.    

"What does Fellow Daoist Ziyue think of this item?"    

Du Kang could tell that Ziyue Zhenren was interested in these firearms. If he really taught the other party some of the manufacturing techniques of these firearms, perhaps Ziyue Zhenren would really be able to make a name for himself.    

After all, this represented another direction.    

"Fellow Daoist Kangdu, yu Qiqiao indeed has quite some achievements."    

Ziyue Zhenren nodded.    

"However, this object pays too much attention to killing, and is of no benefit to the Dao Heart..."    

Hearing Master Ziyue's words, Du Kang felt that he was being too shameless.    

The gun model was copied, and the No. 12 flying needle used as a bullet was made with the left claw. Even the cooling system was not made because it was too troublesome. This kind of crude thing was actually praised, which made Du Kang, who was the creator, very ashamed.    

But the problem with Dao Heart...    

Du Kang took out a cigarette and lit it up.    

"Fellow Daoist Ziyue, I have a question."    

"It's alright, please... hmm?" Reverend Ziyue looked at the huge cigarette in Du Kang's mouth in surprise. "Fellow Daoist, what is this?"    

"It's not something good. It's not good for the body."    

Daoist Ziyue sniffed the smoke that drifted over and frowned.    

With Reverend Ziyue's attainments in the field of medicine refinement, he was naturally able to distinguish that although the smoke could slightly raise one's spirit, it was indeed quite harmful to the body.    

"Forget it, I won't smoke anymore."    

As if he had noticed Master Zi Yue's strange behavior, Du Kang took out his cigarette.    

"Fellow Daoist Ziyue, I would like to ask you something. What exactly is Dao Heart?"    

"Dao heart..." Ziyue Zhenren was stunned. "Does Fellow Daoist Kangdu feel that his inability to sense the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi is related to Dao heart?"    

"Perhaps, perhaps not." Du Kang shook his head. "If you are unable to sense the natural Yuan Qi, there might be many problems. I don't know why either. If I don't ask more, I can at least know what has nothing to do with not sensing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi."    

" This... "Ziyue Zhenren smiled bitterly." This question... I am not very clear about it either. Although I've cultivated for a long time, I haven't even formed my Nascent Soul. I might not be able to explain the Dao Heart in such a comprehensive manner. Fellow Daoist Kang Du, please forgive me."    

" It's fine. " Du Kang waved his limbs. "I just want to have a general understanding of it."    

"Then... alright." Ziyue Zhenren nodded. "I remember my master once told me about this. The meaning of the Dao heart is actually different for everyone. However, it can still be roughly divided into two categories. One is to abandon oneself to pursue the world's supreme principles and comprehend the Great Dao's laws..."    

Comprehend the Laws? Is this how it is?    

Du Kang had no idea what nomological laws were. He had never seen what nomological laws were. His impression of the Law only stopped at the fantasy novels. "Proving the Great Dao and becoming a Saint." Or "when two powerhouses fought, the Great Dao would be destroyed" or something like that. However, if he were to pursue the ultimate truth of the world...    

A group of scientific researchers wearing white coats appeared in Du Kang's mind.    

... "Another way is to pursue clarity of mind, focus on cultivating one's mental state, and use fake cultivation..."    

I understand now. This should be a relatively common cultivator. Du Kang's impression of these people is that they always like to make some "Swallowing a Golden Core into their stomach, I can't control my life." Or, "Planting a Golden Lotus in Fire." Such a strange way of saying was that they liked to ride a flying sword and cause trouble everywhere. They could even fight.    

He could comprehend the heaven and earth, and he could also comprehend his own body. If this was the specific manifestation of his Dao heart, he would have to carefully choose one...    

"However, different paths lead to the same destination. Whether it is to comprehend external objects or to comprehend one's heart, in the end, it is all for the sake of attaining immortality, to ascend to immortality, and to seek a free and unfettered life..."    

What... what?    

Du Kang was stunned.    

"Fellow Daoist Ziyue, you just said, what is the cultivation base?"    

"Achieving immortality and becoming an immortal?" Ziyue Zhenren was a little confused. "What's wrong?"    

Changsheng...    

Ah.    

Du Kang couldn't help but light up the cigarette that he had just extinguished and took a deep breath.    

"Longevity... Are you all just doing this for the sake of living forever?"    

"To achieve immortality, to be free and unfettered." Ziyue Zhenren became more and more confused. "Is there something wrong?"    

"There's nothing wrong."    

Du Kang exhaled a puff of smoke.    

"But fellow Daoist Ziyue... I wonder if you have thought about it... If you have truly achieved immortality... what will you do? "    

"Fellow Daoist Kangdu must be joking." Master Ziyue smiled. "I haven't even condensed my Nascent Soul yet, and I'm still far from achieving immortality..."    

Ziyue Zhenren was speechless.    

He suddenly realized a very serious problem.    

If he could truly achieve immortality... where should he go in the future?    

————————    

Inland, Black Pigeon League, ten Thousand Arts Garden.    

"Alliance Master! Something has happened!"    

leader was a little surprised to see the Black Pigeon League's Left and Right Envoys rushing in.    

"Why haven't you left yet? How long has it been?" leader felt a little helpless. "I'll quickly get rid of the matter that I've caused. If those survivors from the Seagull Sect really came, they would never bully a poor youth. They were the ones who caused trouble, but the ones who would get their revenge would be the entire Black Pigeon League. You..."    

" No! Alliance Master, listen to me first! " The right side took a deep breath, "Something happened to Lee Tuoyi!"    

" Hmm? " leader became serious as well. "What happened?! What's wrong with the Right Envoy?"    

"Just now, when I used the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission to contact Brother Lee..."    

The Right Envoy repeated the entire conversation.    

... "From the moment Brother Li told me that he was at Chongming Island, I felt that something was wrong. In the end, when I asked him if he could come to help, he actually said that he had something that he couldn't come in advance!"    

Something... he couldn't come in advance?    

leader took a deep breath.    

He knew Lee Tuoyi's character. Being able to say that he couldn't come and not directly agree and then stand up was enough to prove that something had happened to Lee Tuoyi.    

Furthermore, it was not a small matter.    

"Alliance Chief, I suspect that Brother Li has been kidnapped." The right side frowned. "Furthermore, the person who hijacked Brother Li must have some means to intercept or eavesdrop on the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission, so Brother Li doesn't even dare to ask for help. He can only use this kind of obscure method to explain his situation."    

Hijacking... hijacking the Black Pigeon League's right envoy?    

leader slowly let out a breath.    

"Pass down my order. Gather all the cultivators of the Black Pigeon League. Let's go to the Right Envoy's cave and take a look."    

"I will lead the team myself."
