Chapter 1007: Chapter 56: Three Lives Hall (Part 2)
“Daoist Shen Jizi, you are being too pessimistic,” Lin Xuance interjected, “I believe that the Wu Ming Taoist could be worth contacting. If he truly harbors intentions of world destruction, it’s our duty to join forces and eliminate this threat.
If he indeed has the intention of saving the world, then joining forces could add a powerful ally to our ranks. Sui Feng Daoist, since you are an important piece in Wu Ming Taoist’s scheme, should you encounter him in the future, you might consider probing him.”
“Certainly, certainly.” Xiao Jie agreed verbally, though he thought to himself: Given that Shen Jizi adopts this attitude, I shouldn’t concern myself too much. Whether it’s saving or destroying the world seems irrelevant to my main goals.
The local Immortals aren’t concerned, so why should I, an Immortal from outside, worry about it?
As for the grand drama Wu Ming Taoist has orchestrated for me—find whoever you want, I’m not serving this role.
“The second issue is regarding Immortal cultivation. As Immortals seeking to increase our strength, is there anything particular we should be mindful of or any advice?”
Although Xiao Jie has already become an Immortal, possessing the ability of eternal life and wielding Yin Yang and Five Elements, mastering numerous Extraordinary Powers, he knows he is still a “New Immortal.” His abilities remain largely undeveloped. To fully realize his potential, he will surely need certain techniques or paths, akin to ordinary players choosing professions, learning skills, and continuously upgrading. Immortals, too, must have various development directions, evident from the specialized skills of the Immortals in the hall.
This Martial Arts Immortal possesses a robust physique and abundant vitality, standing firm like a mountain, clearly a type suited for close combat.
Lin Xuance, with a sharp aura like an unsheathed sword, surely masters Sword Skill and Saber Skill.
Miao Fa Yuanjun, possessing a gentle and extraordinary disposition, with Daoist charm flowing around him, undoubtedly specializes in Immortal Techniques.
The other Immortals each have their own distinct characteristics.
Xiao Jie, now at Level 39, is in the prime period of rapid power increase, with immense potential to be tapped. It’s natural to seek clear guidance.
Lin Xuance nodded and said, “Of course, there are suggestions. Although everyone here is an Immortal, each has a different path: some achieve Dao through martial arts, others take the demon Immortal path, and some experience enlightenment leading to daylight Ascension. Different foundations naturally lead to different focuses. Furthermore, what is learned and comprehended afterward profoundly affects the development of an Immortal.”
“Those absorbed in martial arts might lack the finesse in Immortal Techniques; those who specialize in Alchemy and Artifact Making might lag in combat skills.
Our Immortal bodies naturally host a universe within, with Spiritual Energy flowing like weather patterns, governed by its own rules. But our Spiritual Energy, while vast as the sea, pours like mercury, having its ‘habit.’ Focusing long-term on a particular type of skill or technique will gradually ‘imprint’ this flow pattern, creating a unique ‘spiritual resonance.’
Executing similar Magic afterward will feel effortless, increasing in power, progressing swiftly; however, for untapped areas, the Spiritual Energy pathways become unfamiliar and obstructed, making further cultivation ineffective and laborious. This principle aligns with mortal martial arts: mastery in one craft leads to ultimate proficiency.”
“Take myself, for example,” Lin Xuance responded with a wry smile, “though I’m able to use multiple Immortal Techniques, those requiring profound Tao Realm Comprehension are challenging to reach. Facing demons, my instinct is to slash them with a sword, which feels far more effective than reciting spells.”
Xiao Jie wondered, “Isn’t it said that becoming an Immortal means learning all Spells?”
“Learning is naturally possible,” Lin Xuance replied, with the tone of someone experienced, “but whether you can master or refine them is another matter.” Clearly, he had faced his share of difficulties.
Xiao Jie realized: it seems learning and mastering all techniques isn’t as straightforward. I must choose my future path carefully. Like players choosing their profession, this is equally important.
Indeed, now reaching Level 39 and advancing to Level 40 will unlock a new advanced profession. As an Immortal, this will surely unlock an Immortal-exclusive profession. However, how is this Immortal profession system divided? If it also relies on skills or precursor professions, I must thoroughly research and plan. Choosing poorly could lead to significant problems.
Miao Fa Yuanjun seemed to discern Xiao Jie’s thoughts and spoke up, “If Sui Feng Daoist wishes to clarify his future development direction, it shouldn’t be difficult. Instead of waiting for another day, why not visit the ‘Three Lives Hall’ now to explore your future possibilities?”
“Let’s do it!” Lin Xuance and the Martial Arts Immortal agreed in unison.
Three Lives Hall? Curiosity filled Xiao Jie’s mind—perhaps he could see his past and future lives?
Filled with anticipation, he followed the three toward the depths of the palace clusters. Along the way, buildings stood tall, each with its own function, as the three explained:
“This is Dan Ding Hall, where Immortals refine Immortal Pills. When you need elixirs in the future, you may approach the resident Immortal friends here.”
“This is Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, the place for refining Magic Artifacts. Ordinary Immortal Treasures can be purchased or custom-made here.”
“This is the Hundred Herbs and Thousand Ginseng Garden, where Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicines are cultivated. This place is rich in Spiritual Energy, nurturing countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures…”
Hearing this, Xiao Jie’s eyes sparkled—the facilities of this Immortal Realm are incredibly comprehensive! Surely, there will be plenty of opportunities to benefit from them in the future.
“This is Taixu Hall, which Sui Feng Daoist must know its purpose. If you feel distressed, you may come here to seek some entertaining illusions to relax your mind.”
