Chapter 1: The Story of the Great Love Immortal
"Listeners!"

"There are so many stories about heroes and great men. Today, let's change the topic and tell about a unique demon!"

"It is said that there is a special world between the universes, called the Gu World."

"This world is divided into five realms and two heavens. Everyone uses Gu insects as their cultivation. All three thousand great ways can be used as Gu."

"When a Gu cultivator becomes an immortal, he can touch the Great Dao, open up the immortal orifice, and gain the great power of heaven and earth."

"In the millions of years of history of the Gu Realm, ten venerables have appeared, like ten great suns, standing tall in the Gu Realm!"

"These ten are already the pinnacle of the Gu world. However, tens of thousands of years after the ten died, another one appeared whose achievements surpassed all the previous masters... the Immortal Great Love!"

"On this day, countless righteous Gu Immortals prepared their troops and surrounded a demonic Gu Immortal with murderous intent."

"This demonic Gu Immortal is called Fang Yuan. He is really notorious. In order to refine an immortal Gu, he has killed countless lives, causing the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people!"

"At this moment, he has been surrounded and attacked by many powerful Gu Immortals for many days. He is at the end of his rope and is not far from death."

"On the brink of life and death, Fang Yuan looked calm and said with a smile: "It is true that hair is as black as black in the morning and as white as snow in the evening. Success or failure is nothing in the blink of an eye. If there is an afterlife, I will become a demon again!"

"With a loud bang, Fang Yuan blew himself up amid the exclamations of the righteous heroes, leaving no trace of flesh and blood!"

"And this person is none other than the Great Love Immortal Venerable who will surpass the Ten Immortal Venerables in the

"Is Fang Yuan alive or dead? How did he become the Great Love Immortal from a Demonic Gu Immortal?"

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

In Tianluo City, in a small teahouse.

Lu Li took a sip of tea to moisten his dry throat.

The place was packed with people, filling up the small teahouse to the brim. There wasn't even an empty seat on the floor.

These people held their breath, staring at the tea bowl in Lu Li's hand, with anxious looks on their faces.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and shouted:
"Dr. Tea, can you drink your tea faster? I'm waiting to hear the next part. I'm so anxious that I'm scratching my head!"

As soon as he spoke, he immediately attracted the angry rebukes from the people around him:

"Shut up! Don't disturb Mr. Lu from continuing."

"That's right. Don't you know the rules of this teahouse? You can't scold Mr. Lu. If you don't listen, get out."

The man's face suddenly turned red and he stopped talking immediately.

Lu Li smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously. After putting down the teacup, he started talking again.

Everyone in the teahouse immediately pricked up their ears, afraid that they might have missed a word.

In the private room on the second floor, a woman in red with a slim figure and beautiful face was staring at Lu Li curiously, her beautiful eyes blinking continuously.

Opposite her sat a stern beautiful woman. Although she had a peerless appearance, she was as cold as an iceberg and exuded an aura that kept strangers away.

Although this teahouse is not large in size, not everyone can go to the private rooms on the second floor.

Ever since Lu Li started telling stories here, it has been hard to get a seat in the teahouse.

The private rooms on the second floor were exclusively reserved for princes and nobles, and those with lower status could only stay on the first floor.

The red-clothed woman has a very distinguished background; she is the Holy Maiden of the Fire God Sect, and her cultivation is among the best among the younger generation.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, saying:

"Auntie Zhen, this guy's storytelling is really interesting. I really made the right decision to come here!"

The beautiful woman frowned slightly and said coldly:

"Chi Ling, be careful, don't forget your identity! It's not proper to yell and make noise like that."

Chi Ling stuck out her tongue softly, as if she knew Su Huan-zhen's temper, so she could only hug Su Huan-zhen's arm and act coquettishly: "Auntie Zhen, no one will know that I'm out for fun anyway, so don't be so serious, okay? This is not your Tianlian Pond, no one will notice."

Su Huanzhen's expression eased slightly. She looked at Lu Li who was talking eloquently in the audience and said:

"This person is so famous that I have also heard of him in Tianlian Pond. After meeting him today, I can see that he does have some tricks up his sleeve, but the stories he tells are too bizarre!"

"The story actually features an evil demon as the protagonist. This is truly heresy!"

Chi Ling smiled and said:
"Although it's unorthodox, I saw you were listening intently just now, Aunt Zhen!"

"I'm tired of listening to stories told by ordinary storytellers like Dr. Tea. They're all about heroes or heroic figures. Today is a good time to change my appetite."

Su Huan-zhen could not deny it, but just sipped his tea quietly and continued to listen to Lu Li's story.

At first, her face remained calm, but as Lu Li slowly explained the worldview of the Gu world, Su Huanzhen's eyes began to show some ripples.

"Gu is the essence of heaven and earth, and humans are the spirits of all things. Gu insects are actually another way of evolution of the Great Dao."

"When the Gu worm reaches the Immortal Gu level, it will become the only one in the world, and the effect it produces will be incredible!"

"For example, when Fang Yuan self-destructed, he activated a Universe Immortal Gu he had refined before, the Spring and Autumn Cicada! It allowed him to travel through time and space and be reborn five hundred years ago!"

There were bursts of exclamations in the teahouse, and Chi Ling also opened his mouth wide.

Even if one had reached her level of cultivation, she had never heard of time travel. This was too incredible.

However, in Lu Li's mouth, this strange Gu does not seem to be the most powerful one.

Su Huanzhen repeated the sentence "Gu is the true essence of heaven and earth, and human beings are the spirit of all things" twice, and he felt quite touched.

Her cultivation has already reached the realm of asking for the way, and she is one of the strongest people in the world.

At this level, resources, talents, and skills are no longer of any use. She can only make progress by relying on her understanding of the Dao.

Unexpectedly, Lu Li's words actually gave her new insights, and her cultivation, which had long been stagnant, also showed a slight improvement.

Su Huanzhen showed a rare look of shock, and when she looked at Lu Li again, she was already looking cautious.

"This tea doctor is definitely not an ordinary person."

Chi Ling was even more surprised when she heard Su Huanzhen's words, because she knew very well what kind of person her aunt Zhen was.

The top three young heroes on the current talent list were only described as “just so-so” by her.

Lu Li looks to be only in his early twenties, but he has been praised so highly by Su Huanzhen. Doesn't that mean he is better than all the people on the genius list combined?

Chi Ling shook his head, became even more curious about Lu Li, and listened carefully to Lu Li's story.

Lu Li slammed the gavel and said:
"After Fang Yuan blew himself up, Chun Qiu Chan took his will back to five hundred years ago."

"In a small place called Qingmao Mountain in the southern border of Gu Realm, a young man's body suddenly shook, and his eyes became confused for a moment before turning into deep darkness!"

"This devil Fang Yuan has been reborn and returned!"

"Exactly:"

"The cold wind blows in the valley of desolation, the cicadas sing in spring and autumn, and the young people return!"

"The stone man weeps at Danghun Mountain, and the immortal wanders and the demons head north."

"Ten thousand immortals retreated on the upstream river, love was no match for the tears of persistence."

"Fate has finally come true, and even though the Immortal Master regrets, I do not!"

"The story of the Immortal Great Love begins in this Qingmao Mountain!"
