Chapter 120 The Old Daoist's Foundation Establishment
Ruyi True Immortal suddenly realized that he might have bitten off more than he could chew this time.
"My elder brother took a princess from the overseas Rakshasa Kingdom, and there's a divine skillful elder in the country. I advise you to release me, lest you regret it later," Ruyi True Immortal, having no other choice, brought up the elder his brother mentioned.
This elder, Lu Yu had heard of him mentioned by the Bull Demon King as well, only knew that he was a powerful being hiding overseas, familiar with many secret techniques within the three realms. At first, he didn't care much, for the three realms were filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there could be unknown experts around.
However, his trip to the Kingdom of Tarrycat sharply alerted him to the traces of Patriarch of the Nether River, prompting him to think more deeply.
"Oh! What kind of elder is he? Tell me about him," Lu Yu's face suddenly showed a curious expression, hoping to gather some intelligence from the mouth of Ruyi True Immortal to verify some of his speculations.
"That elder is immensely powerful, the ancestral elder of the Rakshasa Kingdom. It is said that the citizens of that nation are all created by the elder. Have you ever heard of such means?"
In fact, Ruyi True Immortal didn't know much about this elder either, as his brother always refrained from discussing it. What he knew was pieced together from the few words his brother had let slip.
"Is there more?"

As Lu Yu continued to inquire, Ruyi True Immortal found himself at a loss for words, standing there in a daze, unable to speak for quite a while.
Seeing this, Lu Yu knew that Ruyi True Immortal didn't know much. He felt even more convinced that the Rakshasa Kingdom and Patriarch of the Nether River were inextricably linked. He frowned slightly, stringing together the clues he knew, and his gaze involuntarily turned to the west, where the Green Screen Mountain and Flame Mountain lay.
"Could it be that he hid the Water Law and authority there!" Lu Yu murmured to himself, feeling as though he was catching the tail of the Patriarch of the Nether River.
Thinking this, a smile instantly appeared on his face. If that were true, he would have to interfere significantly, ensuring that Patriarch of the Nether River would not get what he wanted. He was determined to show Patriarch of the Nether River what a transmigrator's retaliation was like.
However, Lu Yu soon furrowed his brow as with the relentless inflow of spiritual energy, the old Taoist's body couldn't bear the enormous quantity and began to show signs of fracturing, like a porcelain vessel gradually developing cracks.
Seeing this, Lu Yu exhaled gently, waved his sleeve, and the Great Dao Treasure Vase appeared in mid-air, from which Water of the Three Lights poured down, instantly nourishing the old Taoist's body that was on the verge of collapse.
As the Water of the Three Lights descended, the old Taoist's body found equilibrium with the surging spiritual energy, and the speed of the inflowing spiritual energy gradually slowed, as the old Taoist slowly opened his eyes.
His body visibly transformed at a rate visible to the naked eye, wrinkles on his face smoothing out, skin becoming finer and more supple, and teeth falling out only to be replaced by new ones growing in swiftly.
In less than the time it takes to make a cup of tea, the old Taoist underwent a metamorphosis akin to shedding his old self and taking on a new form, a renewed life force vividly manifesting in his body.
The old Taoist watched his transformation in disbelief. Since childhood, he had been obsessed with Taoist laws and read all the scriptures in the world yet never learned the method of cultivation, squandering half his life before finally meeting Ruyi True Immortal and thinking his fate had changed.
Little did he know that Ruyi True Immortal's motives were not sincere, with his splendid exterior hiding a worthless interior; the old Taoist had resigned himself to fate, henceforth focusing solely on cultivation without pursuing the methods of practice.
Yet, when he let go of his life's pursuit, he started to understand the scriptures gradually. From then on, the Gathering Immortals' Retreat housed an old Taoist often lost in the Taoist scriptures, and as he started following Ruyi True Immortal early and was still alive today, Ruyi True Immortal turned a blind eye towards him.
Unexpectedly, today, by a stroke of serendipity, he comprehended the method of cultivation, reverted to youth, and only now felt as if his life had been a grand dream, finally realizing his true self.
He couldn't help but show a smile and said, "Only today do I understand that I am truly myself!"
Lu Yu, standing beside him, clapped gently and smiled, "Congratulations, Daoist friend, on your Heavenly Gate Foundation Establishment and entering the grand gate of cultivation."
The old Taoist quickly prostrated himself and said, "I thank the Immortal for your great kindness. Had you not lent your aid, I fear my soul would have scattered to the winds."
Thinking back to the recent events, the old Taoist spoke with some lingering fear.
