"No destiny for immortality? Just a mere mortal?"
Ning Xunqiu took a deep breath and suddenly clenched the "Celestial Derivation Volume".
"Three years later, take another look."
Jingle.
[Congratulations, your tumultuous life has been evaluated as a white life "A Mere Mortal": You were born at the pinnacle of the Martial Dao, destined for a brilliant life, a name to be remembered through the ages, why would a mere mortal seek immortality?]
[You have gained one point of strength (claimable).]
"Adding insult to injury."
Ning Xunqiu glanced at the fortune [Five~Eight], and with a thought, claimed the reward, knowing that even mosquito meat is still meat.
Afterwards, he rested his chin in his hand, lost in thought.
"The Golden Light Talisman cuts down a thousand-foot peak, still has strength after death to summon meteors to level ten li of land, the array covers a hundred li of the sea, I wonder what level of Cultivator he was? Nascent Soul? Divinity Transformation? True Immortal?"
"This cultivation method is a heaven-defying opportunity."
What is an Immortal?
Riding the wind, entering and leaving the Cyan Nether, traveling the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.
Dining on wind and dew, transcending the world, enjoying eternal life.
That is an Immortal!
Magic, alchemy, spirit beasts, alchemy, artifact refining, talismans, arrays, demon slaying, divine techniques...
Ning Xunqiu, just by imagining the wonders within, felt a longing in his heart.
Sadly, the special rewards drawn from life achievements are random, and at this stage, unable to draw a "28 point fortune" cultivation method.
"This place is the 'Land of Absolute Spirit', so Jiang Hong built the 'Ascension Tower' seeking immortality overseas, and the later Child of Destiny Jiang Xuan, after obtaining destiny, also wanted to build the 'Ascension Tower' to leave here quickly."
"It's just that I, without destiny, have no way to take a 'Cultivation Method' from the hands of an Immortal."
"Is that destiny a constitution? Or fortune?"
"Perhaps let junior sister try?"
The next day.
[Fortune: Four~Eight.]
Ning Xunqiu held the Spring and Autumn Brush, using a point of fortune to rewrite his life.
...
[I devoted myself to cultivating the "Purple Sky Innate Skill" on the mountain, regularly taking "Vermilion Fruit" with the aid of "Moonlight Dew" to advance my cultivation, breaking through to innate in less than a year.]
[I then spent three months patiently cultivating "Seven Swords of Cross and Vertical" to the perfect realm, and "White Clouds Drifting Leisurely" to the perfect realm.]
[At this time, junior sister Gao Fei Xue, her inner qi cultivation was only a realization of the "Mental Realm" away from innate.]
[At eighteen, after settling the master and junior brother, I took junior sister Gao Fei Xue to the "Vast Sea Land."]
[Before leaving, I didn't forget one thing.]
[I went overnight to the Yu Kingdom Capital City, first killing King Yu, then killing the Left Minister—Guo Xian, uprooting and blood-washing the entire court of Yu Kingdom, easing my oppressed mind tremendously.]
[Weeks later, junior sister Gao Fei Xue and I arrived at the "Demon Realm", passed through the Ninefold Pass together, and arrived at a small island.]
[This time, an Immortal appeared, said a word "person without destiny", waved his hand again, and I was expelled from the island.]
But junior sister Gao Fei Xue was not by my side, I knew she could cultivate, presumably stayed inside to accept the test, I just needed to wait quietly for the result.
[Two years passed in a flash, still no sign of junior sister Gao Fei Xue, I recalled one thing, the Child of Destiny Jiang Xuan appeared suddenly when I was fifty… I guess, maybe it requires the inheritors inside to cultivate to a certain level before they can leave?]
[Even if junior sister succeeds smoothly, it takes decades?]
[At twenty, I began going out to achieve life accomplishments, purple achievement "Great Unity of the World: Starting Point", the "end" of this achievement must certainly be a higher level red achievement, or a golden achievement.]
[I returned to Cyan Mountain, and in Yunzhou, according to my mood, I took in two Farmer Sect disciples, and personally named them, one Lu Shuang, the other Li Gou, I began aliasing as "Zhang Jiao", establishing Taiping Dao, traveling the Seven Kingdoms with the two disciples, spreading the idea of 'Great Unity of the World', educating the people toward goodness.]
[Every year, I went to the "Demon Realm" to wait for junior sister.]
[The first decade, Jin Country united the world, after a brief peace, Jiang Hong insisted on building the "Ascension Tower".]
[Years later, as public resentment erupted, Taiping Dao deeply penetrated people's hearts, rebellion swept the world, this time, I didn't act openly, but let three grandmaster disciples take charge of Taiping Dao for me.]
[In ten years of turbulence, Jin Country and Taiping Dao clashed with mixed results, until Jiang Hong exhausted himself and suddenly passed away in Chang'an Hall.]
[His son Jiang You ascended the throne.]
[Junior brothers Zhang Han and Zhao Ping seized the opportunity to break through Gao Jin, Wei Xin, and Li Ji's three hundred thousand troops, Wei Xin and Gao Jin died in the army, only Li Ji led the defeated soldiers back to Chang'an City.
Jin Country's fortune was exhausted.
Outside the city were Yellow Turban Army soldiers all shouting "Great Unity of the World".]
[Jiang You led the last eight hundred elite cavalry, ready to fight to the death.]
[Thirty li away, I learned of this news, suddenly filled with great fear, and looked up.]
[A fiery red meteor suddenly tore through the sky, crashing to the earth, shaking mountains and cracking the ground, within ten li instantly turned into a magma purgatory, the main force of Taiping Dao perished entirely in this disaster.]
[Indeed, Jin Country cannot perish…]
[The second time, it was definitely not a coincidence.]
[This divine technique has the power to shatter mountains and seas, yet is used to deal with a group of mortal ants, isn't this using a cannon to kill mosquitoes?]
[The Immortal is truly invincible!]
[I realized, perhaps it's not that I'm targeted by this world because I'm a transmigrator, but that my existence threatens the foundation of Jin Country.]
[Unifying the world may hold special meaning to that long-deceased Immortal. Or, from another angle… his divine technique protects Jin Country, perhaps because his life is nearing its end, needing Jin Country's fortune to sustain it?]
[Why doesn't an Immortal die forever?]
[All the answers will have to wait for junior sister to tell me after coming out.]
[Jiang You restored mountains and rivers, revived Jin Country, but was not as tyrannical as his father Jiang Hong. I did not act again but went to the Vast Sea Land, waiting for junior sister's return.]
[In this wait, spring came and went, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.]
[This Innate Martial Artist of mine is now elderly, no longer young, and with the Ginseng Doll "Yiya" helping to extend my life.]
[I should be over one hundred and fifty years old; I've a bit lost count, while "Yiya" is still as when we first met, pure and unfazed by the world, I truly envy it.]
[These days, knowing my end is near, I entrusted the Purple Gold Gourd to Yiya, urging it to hide well, talking at length.]
[The next day, I went as usual to the seaside to wait, until dusk at sunset, just about to turn and leave. A Fairy slowly descended from the sky, dressed in a light cyan blouse, eyebrows like distant mountains, skin like jade, it was junior sister Gao Fei Xue.]
[She returned still as a maiden.]
[Gao Fei Xue looked at the white-haired old man before her with a complicated expression, long silent before daring to softly call me "Senior Brother", her expression helpless, her hundred-year cultivation still leaving her memory at the beginning.]
I laughed and asked, "Junior Sister, have you become an immortal?"
She suddenly hugged me and cried, repeatedly saying, "Senior Brother, you lied to me, you're dying."
I'm not an immortal…
I could only continue deceiving her,
"Junior Sister, do you remember those stories I used to tell you when we were young? You must go see the stars above, witness the changes of the seas into mulberry fields, taste all the mountain's delicacies.
Perhaps, after you become an immortal, you'll have great divine techniques to reverse reincarnation, then you'll meet Senior Brother again."
"So, don't cry; remember me."
Junior sister remained silent.
I quickly asked what happened inside.
Junior sister said she received a legacy cultivation technique "Wind and Dew Qi Collection Scripture", practiced intensely on the Dragon Vein for a century, achieving "Qi Cultivation", with a five-hundred-year lifespan.
The deceased Immortal was named "Duan Hong", a disciple of the [Moral Immortal Sect] in Divine Land, one of the eight Qi Cultivation Immortal Masters sent to cross the sea, eight hundred years ago when the North Sea Loose Cultivator "Profound Flood Dragon" came to obstruct the path, both perished here.
If junior sister goes to Divine Land and tells "Tianhe True Master" of the Moral Immortal Sect about Duan Hong's Daoist Treasure "Mountain and River Seal", she can become a "registered disciple".
That Immortal was merely a disciple? Qi Cultivation with a five-hundred-year lifespan? Something seems off with Qi Cultivation...
I curiously asked about the Immortal's cultivation level?
"Qi Cultivation," junior sister truthfully replied.
"Shattering mountains and seas, and you call this Qi Cultivation?"
I recalled the world-ending meteor, sat up startled despite my dying illness, and then a breath failed to rise, peacefully collapsing in junior sister's arms.
Deceased.
