Chapter 446: Chapter 329: My Aspiration to Become Immortal! (Part 2)

“What do you want to do? I with you…”

“Shut up. You have the potential to ascend to immortality, just focus on your cultivation. You don’t need to worry about these matters.”

Xiang Wuji’s voice was icy.

In the next second, his figure vanished from the spot.

Ye Lianqiu sat on the ground.

In her hand was Jiang Zhiqing’s sword, and in her chest was Wen Xin’s heart.

[Continue your cultivation.]

[In your second life, your lifespan will be halved. While Divinity Transformation Cultivators typically have a cultivation of ten thousand or more years, you only have a definite five thousand years.]

[In the 15,600th year of the Changtian Calendar, you comprehended the profound technique of the Initial Demon Scripture and broke through to mid-stage Divinity Transformation.]

[Previously, you propelled yourself through countless techniques, reinforcing your Undefeated Demon Energy.]

[Now, stripped of all bloodlines and powers, your body contains only Undefeated Demon Blood, making it purer.]

[Now, you can propel ten thousand paths with your own being, akin to the difference between Ten Thousand Swords Return to One and One Sword Body, Ten Thousand Techniques.]

[Undefeated Demon Energy surges within you, enabling you to seemingly master most techniques in the world.]

………

[In the 16,300th year of the Changtian Calendar, you acquired the Infinite Sea No Self Technique from the Xuanzhou Sea-Expelling Sect, concealing your aura completely, and ventured into the void.]

[In the same year, you received all the inheritance and a vast legacy of the Ancient Owl Demon Emperor.]

[Simultaneously, you gained access to the Ancient Owl Grotto Heaven.]

[From the few words left by the Ancient Owl Demon Emperor, you finally learned the truth behind the Undefeated Demon Blood.]

[The God-Demon List!]

[Neither the Ancient Owl Demon Emperor nor Black Heaven could ascend to immortality because they possessed powers not belonging to the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm. The God-Demon List does not permit their ascension.]

[Yet, even without ascending, with Divinity Transformation Perfection cultivation, they could still roam freely, unless they encountered an exceptionally rare Ancient Immortal in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.]

[However, the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance seems capable of commanding or wielding some power of the God-Demon List.]

[Both were covertly killed by the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance.]

[You fell silent, realizing the vast gap between the celestial and mortal realms, even for a new True Immortal compared to a Divinity Transformation Great Perfection cultivator—it is akin to the disparity between cloud and mud.]

[You once again took control of the Ancient Owl Grotto Heaven, discovering some interesting inheritances in this small world, integrating them into your system.]

[To break the shackles of his Undefeated Demon Blood, the Ancient Owl Demon Emperor scattered his Demon Blood throughout the Ancient Owl Grotto Heaven, thus a special lifeform called Blood Descendant emerged within it.]

[The Blood Descendants and Cultivators fought for thousands of years, developing numerous ingenious techniques.]

[You unified the Ancient Owl Grotto Heaven, ending the millennia-long clan struggles.]

[Both the Ancient Owl Grotto Heaven and the Heavenly Falling Blessed Land now offer resources to you, and you continue your cultivation.]

……………

[In the 18,312th year of the Changtian Calendar, you broke through to the late-stage Divinity Transformation.]

[You created 131 large Secret Realms, interconnecting them, and then projected strands of your soul into them for cultivation insights.]

[Within yourself, countless legendary stories were created.]

[Now, you are over seven thousand years old, and your second life is over four thousand years old.]

[Your once-black hair gradually turned silver-white, and your appearance shifted to that of a middle-aged figure.]

[You’ve lost interest in your appearance.]

[Over seven thousand years have passed, and the friends of the past have long gone.]

[Perhaps only Ye Lianqiu has accompanied you through these years.]

[You can vaguely sense Ye Lianqiu’s emotions, perhaps guilt, or love developed over time, or perhaps feelings deeply rooted. Yet you remain unmoved.]

………

[In the 18,391st year of the Changtian Calendar, you returned to the Mortal Transformation Sect, acquiring the legacy of the Celestial River Elder.]

[This was the precious resource left behind after the Celestial River Elder failed to ascend.]

[You once again paid homage as a disciple to the Celestial River Elder.]

[You pondered the essence of ascension again and again.]

[You began to visit famous mountains and rivers, like a mortal, traversing the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, all for a chance of Immortal Fate.]

[You are no different from them.]

[What these mortals seek is the chance to become immortals; what you seek is exactly the same.]

[Ningzhou and Changzhou could no longer contain you, so you came to Wuzhou.]

[You gathered a wealth of information about Ancient Immortals and began your search for them.]

[Wuzhou is vast beyond measure, and even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator traveling through space would require endless time to measure it completely.]

……………

[In the 18,411th year of the Changtian Calendar, you’ve already failed three times, either finding the Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion, only for the Ancient Immortal to refuse to meet,]

[or hearing something only to have your memory forcibly erased, yet again the opportunity was not ripe.]

[Or the Ancient Immortal had long departed, leaving the cave desolate.]

[Your actions in Wuzhou drew the attention of local forces; they would not allow you to disturb the secluded cultivation of their Ancient Immortal.]

[In the 18,413th year of the Changtian Calendar, you accidently wandered into a Pocket World.]

[Inside lay a vast expanse of water, with only an old man fishing on a turtle. Upon closer inspection, the creature beneath the old man wasn’t a Spirit Ghost but a Black Tortoise! Although this beast wasn’t a pure-blooded ancient Divine Beast, it had the form of a Black Tortoise, its bloodline surpassing your previous Bai Ze Demon Body.]

[You respectfully bowed with junior courtesy.]

The old man wore a flowing long robe, and if not for riding the Black Tortoise in the sea, he seemed no different from an ordinary elder fishing in the wild.

“You carry the aura of a departed friend.”

“A departed friend?”

At this moment, Xiang Wuji thought of many things.

The Ancient Owl, Black Heaven, Bai Ze, and even Mara.

The old man seemed to see through Xiang Wuji’s thoughts, chuckling softly.

Xiang Wuji suddenly thought of something and bowed again.

“Is the elder referring to… Teacher Celestial River?”

Xiang Wuji had never met the Celestial River Elder, but having learned from his Mortal Transformation Technique and ascension failure experiences, he wouldn’t call him master, but certainly, the term elder suffices.

Most crucially, Xiang Wuji felt a significant connection between the Celestial River Elder and the elder before him.

“I am known as Celestial Sea.”

The old man said casually.

The bait seemed to have caught something, and he tapped lightly.

The sea capsized in an instant, and a colossal kun fish roared in the ocean, constrained by a small fishing rod.

The old man flicked his wrist gently.

The giant kun fish, blocking the skies and endless to see, transformed into a virtual form, landing in the old man’s fish basket.

Then, one could see that this endless sea was not part of this Pocket World, but rather appeared to be a sea connecting countless worlds.

“Fate has brought us together, so I’ll give you a few pointers.”

The old man uttered these words.

Xiang Wuji was in a daze.

In an instant, it felt as if he had discussed the Dao with the elder for countless ages.

Yet it also seemed the elder merely gave him two words of advice.

Xiang Wuji’s figure reappeared somewhere in Wuzhou.

He bowed deeply towards a certain direction.

This gesture was one of gratitude for imparting the Dao.

Within the Pocket World, the ocean returned to tranquility.

“Alright then, let me see the current state of the God-Demon List…”

Another bait was cast, but this time, it was unknown what would take the hook.

[You have received enlightenment from the mysterious elder.]

[It feels as if you’ve opened a new world, where everything in heaven and earth is gradually revealed to you with your insights.]

[In the 18,911th year of the Changtian Calendar, you sit cross-legged on a desolate mountain in Changzhou.]

[Your lifespan is nearing its end.]

[The Longevity Ghost attacks, and you can feel the complete descent of the Celestial Human Five Declines.]

[You can also vaguely sense the great terror between life and death.]

[Having sensed the great terror between life and death more than once, this time, you intend to transform it into an opportunity.]

On the desolate mountain.

A black-robed elder sat silently cross-legged.

His being already carried a faint aura of decay.

His, lifespan was nearing its end.

In an instant, the black-robed elder opened his eyes, looking quietly towards the sky.

Suddenly, his aura surged, and in an instant, the Longevity Ghost retreated in panic as Xiang Wuji’s aura soared into the sky.

Countless gazes were shocked, looking towards Changzhou.

“I desire to ascend to immortality!”

The black-robed elder transformed into a middle-aged figure, gaze fixedly towards the sky.
