Capítulo 1048: Chapter 78: Immortal Fate Arrives, Delivery to Your Door_3
Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear this. Since they died once and were reincarnated, all their skills turned gray and couldn’t be used. Now everyone was just Level 7 or 8 newbies, without any special abilities, so how did Wentian Wuji sense ahead of time that Feng had arrived?
Could it just be a guess?
However, the events of the next moment proved that Wentian Wuji was not talking nonsense. Suddenly, the air ahead of the group twisted unnaturally, rippling like water waves. The next second, a green figure calmly stepped out of the crack, who else but Xiao Jie? ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
“Oh, everyone is busy leveling up? Good, good, how is the preparation going?” Xiao Jie asked with a smile, glancing at everyone’s levels and nodding with satisfaction.
“Just waiting for you, Feng!” Jiu Jianxian rushed forward eagerly and asked with a flattering expression, “Has the Immortal Fate arrived? What is it like?”
“Follow me.” Xiao Jie beckoned, “By the way, everyone add all your reserved attribute points to ‘Spiritual’. This is a hard requirement, affecting your ability to perceive and absorb nature’s spiritual energy and understand Immortal Technique Taoist Formulas. The other attributes can be discussed based on future development directions.”
“Should we wait until we level up to Level 9 first? It’s almost here,” Hao Mie asked.
“No need.” Xiao Jie shook his head, “This time I’m inviting friends to help, not officially taking disciples, so there’s no need for any level assessment. The attribute points are just to show them that your talent foundation isn’t too bad.” After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jie took off the Demon Slaying Sword from his back and casually tossed it to Xia Yi the Unrivaled, “Returning property to its rightful owner. It might come in handy later.”
Then, he specifically looked at An Ran, “An Ran—when you meet those immortals later, you don’t need to rush to become their apprentice like them. I have a different plan for you.”
Xiao Jie’s plan was indeed the Demon Refining Gourd he held.
Strictly speaking, this item is the most reliable path to immortality. As long as you learn the Qi Refinement skill at Konglao Mountain and combine it with the Demon Refining Gourd, you can almost certainly reach Level 10 in Qi Refinement skill. Although there will be many troubles afterward, with his successful example, as long as it’s done step by step, the probability of becoming immortal is definitely very high.
By comparison, apprenticing under the three immortals, although sure to achieve something, whether one can become immortal really depends on personal fate.
After all, now the Immortal Road is severed, spiritual energy is thin, the three immortals only promised to teach skills and cultivate everyone into strong individuals, but didn’t say they would help everyone become immortal.
Therefore, the possibility of becoming immortal is pretty much left to chance, nowhere near as guaranteed as the Qi Refinement skill + Demon Refining Gourd setup.
An Ran was his first player friend he knew in reality, with a relationship similar to Ye Luo and I Want to Be Immortal, so naturally, he wanted to take extra care of him.
“Where are the immortals?” Bai Ze asked curiously, looking around.
“Near the mysterious ancient tomb.” Xiao Jie said, taking the lead to guide everyone.
This mysterious ancient tomb was quite memorable for Xiao Jie. When he was mingling in the Newbie Village years ago, he investigated this place along with I Want to Be Immortal and encountered the first boss-level Boss. It was also his first time touching on information related to ‘immortals’ in this world. It was fate indeed that he was returning here now to lead his friends onto the path of Immortal Fate.
The group carried a feeling of excitement and apprehension as they walked towards the ancient tomb. From afar, they saw at the moss-covered stone gate of the tomb entrance, three figures standing conspicuously. Just by standing there, their presence naturally exuded an ethereal and transcendental aura that was incompatible with the surroundings, as if they formed their own realm.
At this moment, the three immortals were idly chatting.
“Lin, why did you bring us here?” The Martial Arts Immortal was somewhat surprised as he inspected the eerie tomb in front of him, “The yin energy here is quite heavy. Although it’s been purified, traces remain. It doesn’t seem like an Immortal’s blessed land.”
Lin Xuance stroked his beard with a smile, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eye, “Daoist, you might not know. This is the thirty-seventh seal I placed after the Netherworld disaster, when I was alone slaying demons, specifically used to suppress a ‘Ghost General Corpse Vulture’ that was wreaking havoc in the region. But now it seems…” His eyes scanned some long-invalid rune traces at the tomb entrance, “This beast has long been thoroughly exterminated, and the seal has been ineffective for quite some time.”
Saying so, he strolled to the side of the stone stele beside the ancient tomb gate. This stele had faced many storms, but the words on it were still clearly legible:
Wangliang Year, Ghost Realm invades.
Corpse Ghosts run rampant, causing chaos everywhere.
Only the Immortal Path can subdue demons and eliminate disasters.
The Ghost General Corpse Vulture met its end here.
The fierce enemy is defeated, but the Netherfire still burns.
It’s sealed here, left to naturally perish.
Only after eight hundred years can it dissipate.
This stele is erected to warn: Do not open.
Stele erected by — Dangmo Real Man Lin Xuance]
Looking at the ancient and vigorous writing on the stele, which contained a trace of remaining sword intent, the Martial Arts Immortal and Miao Fa Yuanjun exchanged a smile.
The Martial Arts Immortal laughed heartily, “Lin Dao You, your poetic talent is indeed extraordinary. This stele inscription has quite a bit of ancient style and charm, concise and direct, accompanied by the awe-inspiring righteousness after demon-slaying!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuance’s old face couldn’t help but blush. He naturally understood the teasing in the Martial Arts Immortal’s words. Among the Gu Yun Immortals, he had often been mocked for this matter, forcibly maintaining his composure, he said, “Slaying demons is the real skill, poetry and essays are a minor pursuit, so naturally there’s not much emphasis! At the time, this was just casually written to warn future generations! If I really invested the effort to compose a poem, it wouldn’t be this casual.”
Miao Fa Yuanjun covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, “Is that so? Haha, if Lin Dao You truly didn’t care about literary talent, why bother to compose this verse and carve it for future generations to view? Randomly writing a few plain words would be better, I think your poetic inspiration was just too strong, couldn’t suppress it.”
Then the two immortals laughed together, and for a time, the atmosphere around was filled with joyous air.
Lin Xuance snorted coldly in anger, turned his head away and ignored the two.
“What happy event are you Daoists celebrating to be so cheerful? Could it be you’ve already thought of a good way to pacify the Netherworld and save the world?” Just then, Xiao Jie’s voice, laden with laughter, sounded behind everyone. Along with him came that group of tense yet excited little partners, whose eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity.
