Su Yun followed the county road into Luyi County and began to inquire about the location of the surrounding passersby.

“Excuse me, is Lao Tzu’s old residence above?”

From Su Yun’s words, it was clear that he had traveled thousands of kilometers to come for him.

Luyi County was indeed Lao Tzu’s hometown. This place was called the Chen Country’s Ku County in that era. The passersby enthusiastically pointed out a direction for Su Yun, and this was indeed Su Yun’s final choice.

In the past few months, after Su Yun sent Xu Jiajia home, he went to the various ancient temples faster and faster.

He had almost walked through all the high mountains and mountains and personally went to the famous historical sites in the Great Xia territory. He had seen countless statues of ancient people, but very few people had entered the supernatural state.

This was the last choice and Su Yun’s only hope.

He quickly walked in the direction indicated by the passerby. After walking in, he realized that this place was much more imposing than what he had found in his information. The current Lao Tzu’s former residence had already built a cultural scenic area centered on Taiqing Palace, Ming Dao Palace, and Lao Tzu’s First Garden.

Here, not only did it fully show all the tourists a real father figure, but it also explained the origins of Daoist culture.

The reason why Su Yun had chosen this place as a target was because the culture here was different from other places. There had always been many legends about Lao Tzu domestically and abroad, and there were also many ancient monuments that commemorated Lao Tzu.

However, this Taiqing Palace only treated Lao Tzu as an ordinary person. It was not like Mount Laojun where they deified Lao Tzu and became an immortal. In addition, this was where he lived and preached. Therefore, Su Yun came here.

After gaining a deeper understanding, Su Yun finally understood how deeply Lao Tzu had influenced this place. The place Su Yun came to was called Taiqing Palace. The other part separated by a purple qi path was Ming Dao Palace.

Taiqing Palace was the ruins of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Ming Dao Palace was the place where Lao Tzu preached. Not far from the other direction was Laojun Platform. Legend had it that this was the place where Lao Tzu ascended to immortality.

Su Yun first entered Taiqing Palace, but after walking around, he did not find any residue of the supernatural aura. Therefore, he rushed to Ming Dao Palace next door. In comparison, this place was much larger than the Taiqing Palace just now.

There were many tourists here, but Su Yun was really not in the mood to enjoy the scenery with them. He hurriedly entered and left the hall, causing many tourists to look at him in confusion. It was rare to see someone like Su Yun in Ming Dao Palace, looking like he was in a hurry as if he was looking for something.

After spending a moment, Su Yun still did not discover anything in Ming Dao Palace. This made him even more anxious.

If Lao Tzu had never entered the supernatural state, all his previous investigations would have been in vain. He had wasted a lot of time coming to Luyi County. If he still could not find any residue of the supernatural aura here, Su Yun would not know where to look.

After all, Su Yun had searched almost all the places he could go during this period of time. There was really very little supernatural aura. Lao Tzu’s former residence was the last hope he could rely on.

After silently leaving the Ming Dao Palace, Su Yun stood rooted to the ground with a frown. A moment later, he cast his gaze in the direction of Laojun Platform. There was only that place left. If he could not even find a supernatural aura there, he could really be considered at the end of the road.

Xu Jiajia’s condition was getting worse and worse. A few days ago, Xu Kui had even said that Xu Jiajia had been in a coma since she returned. No one knew when or if Xu Jiajia would wake up after this coma.

This was why Su Yun was so anxious, eager to find the remnant supernatural aura. After calming down, Su Yun quickly rushed to Laojun Platform. This was also a unique scenery in Luyi County.

It announced to the outside world that the Laojun Platform had always been the place where Lao Tzu cultivated and became an immortal. Therefore, this place was once called the Immortal Ascension Platform or the Immortal Worship Platform.

This place was seen in the Han Dynasty and was superior to the Tang Dynasty. It was destroyed many times by the rebellion and subsequently repaired by generations. It had more than 2,000 years of history.

Laojun Platform is 8.84 meters tall and has a base area of 765 square meters. There were a total of 32 steps under the mountain gate. Coupled with the first floor of the main hall, it was exactly 33 steps. It was in line with the saying that Lao Tzu ascended with 33 steps.

Just as he entered, Su Yun saw the four shells placed on the old military platform. There were still records on them, 1 June 1938, the fourth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

As a citizen of Great Xia, he was definitely not unfamiliar with this time. It was said that back then, the soldiers of Sakura Country attacked Luyi County and bombarded Laojun Platform. A total of 13 shells were fired, but none of them exploded.

The shells left here were the duds that had bombarded Laojun Platform back then. Like many tourists, Su Yun stopped in front of the cannonball. What he paid attention to was not the cannonball, but the faint glow on it.

A familiar aura appeared again, and Su Yun’s eyes lit up. It was also at this moment that he came to a realization. It was not a miracle that stopped the cannonball, but the supernatural aura left on Laojun Platform.

Su Yun followed the pale golden light and looked ahead. Then, he quickly walked forward and crossed the 33 steps before arriving at the top of Laojun Platform.
