I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 590 Bai Zhi's Choice, Visitors from Another World (4k Subscription Request)
She could understand what Wei Tu meant and knew that he meant well and was not in a desperate need to control her and not let her go free.

Now, after waking up, the most pressing issue for her is her lifespan.

Two hundred years is too long...

She doesn't have much time left.

But if she transforms from a ghost cultivator to the "spirit" of the "Soul Refining Banner", her lifespan can be extended again.

This is indeed a good way to prolong your life.

However, the premise is - don’t fail!

It is not an easy task to steal the "Immortal Fruit" by using the body of "Spirit of the Artifact".

Many monks have already walked this path.

Throughout history, only a very small number of people have succeeded in prolonging their lives by borrowing the body of a spirit.

But... after success, it only prolonged life.

After a period of time, the "soul" of the weapon spirit will still exist, but the thoughts of the cultivator hidden in it will slowly age until a new "death" occurs.

Therefore, the weapon spirit method is only a temporary solution and cannot truly allow cultivators to achieve immortality.

She chose the path of ghost cultivation because after a long time of practicing ghost cultivation, she would have the opportunity to transform back into a yang and become an immortal.

Although this hope is slim, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Not to the point of dead end.

As for the spirit of the weapon, there is... none at all.

……

Thinking about it for a long time.

Bai Zhi finally made a decision.

She looked at Wei Tu and bowed down, "Life will end one day. I wish to be reborn as a human, even if... I only live for a few decades, I will have no regrets."

For hundreds of years, she has forgotten what it feels like to have flesh and blood.

Rather than coveting that little bit of "immortal" life, it is better to be reborn as a human being now and die peacefully.

However, when Bai Zhi said this, her voice trembled a little. She was worried that Wei Tu would be angry about this. After all, her actions were entirely for her own benefit, without considering Wei Tu, her "master" at all.

So what she said was more like a request rather than a choice.

"Reincarnated as a human?"

Wei Tu was a little surprised to hear this answer.

In his memory, Bai Zhi was rather afraid of death, otherwise she would not have voluntarily signed the soul contract and recognized him as her master.

Today, he is still quite surprised that he gave up his only way of life.

“After we leave the Royal Palace, I will start arranging a body for you.” Wei Tu nodded slightly and agreed, without any displeasure on his face.

He saved Bai Zhi and helped her escape from the evil spirit and "revive" her. This was not for any utilitarian purpose, but just because it was convenient.

Similarly, he asked Bai Zhi to be the main soul of the Soul Refining Banner... and it was just to give Bai Zhi a way to prolong her life.

Since Bai Zhi didn't want to, he naturally wouldn't force her.

In addition to asking Baizhi to be the spirit of the "Soul Refining Banner", he also knew another way that could help Baizhi overcome the life crisis and continue her practice.

That is to borrow the Wanyin Sect's treasure, the "Heavenly Ghost Soul Seed", to make this girl a member of the Heavenly Ghost clan.

However, the ownership of the "Heavenly Ghost Seed" belongs to the Red Dragon Ancestor. He cannot and will not force the Red Dragon Ancestor to hand over the treasure for Bai Zhi alone.

After all, in addition to being his master, Patriarch Chilong is also Wang Sutai's biological father, his old Taishan.

Now, being able to save Bai Zhi and give her this choice is already out of his consideration of their old friendship.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei."

When Bai Zhi heard this, her pretty face was slightly moved and she stood up and bowed to Wei Tu again.

……

After Bai Zhi woke up, Wei Tu had no reason to stay in Yuanyang Palace anymore.

He put Bai Zhi into his other sleeve, then fled in a flash, rushing towards the "core three palaces" in the inner hall area.

These three core palaces are the true core of the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace.

Different from other places.

Every six hundred years, a new batch of "treasures" will appear in the three core palaces, and it seems that they are inexhaustible.

Moreover, the "main palace" within the three palaces has never been truly opened by any cultivator.

"Old Demon Zhu, can the 'Demon Locking Hall' you mentioned really be opened by my 'Yuan Zhong Divine Light'?"

Wei Tu asked as he flew away.

More than two hundred years ago, when he first met the Red Dragon Ancestor and imprisoned the Red Dragon Ancestor's residual soul with the "Yuan Zhong Divine Light"... he clearly saw the Red Dragon Ancestor's excitement after seeing his magical power.

At that time, he was suspicious about this, but because he had just come into contact with the Red Dragon Ancestor, he did not mention this matter much and pretended to be ignorant.

However, after he married Wang Sutai several decades ago, the Red Dragon Patriarch told him the secret of the magical power "Yuan Zhong Divine Light".

Yuanzhong Divine Light, although this magical power is extremely famous in the world of immortal cultivation, there are also many magical powers that are comparable to it.

What really matters to the Red Dragon Patriarch is that the "Yuan Zhong Divine Light" can unlock the restrictions of the Demon Locking Hall, one of the "three core palaces" in the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace.

Although the attraction of the Demon Locking Hall is far less than that of the "Law Transmission Pavilion" and the "Weapon Smelting Hall" among the three core palaces, the treasures hidden in its "main palace" are in no way inferior to those of the other two palaces.

"My ancestor and I have entered the secret realm of the Royal Palace and are already familiar with the restrictions inside. How could we lie to you?"

"The restriction of the Locking Demon Hall is called the 'Ziwu Qiban', which is one of the ten great divine restrictions in the world of immortal cultivation. This restriction is extremely mysterious, and even a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator would find it difficult to break through, but... if there is interference from the Yuanzhong Divine Light, it would be nothing."

"In a sense, Yuanzhong's divine light can be regarded as the nemesis of this Ziwu strange prohibition."

“But, ancestor, I didn’t expect that you could actually cultivate the Yuanzhong Divine Light. It’s obvious that your physique is not a spiritual body that can cultivate this magical power…”

The Red Dragon Ancestor exclaimed in amazement.

Most of the high-level magical powers in the world of immortal cultivation cannot be cultivated just because a cultivator wants to. Even if one has a high level of enlightenment, it is impossible.

Yuanzhong Divine Light is a high-level magical power.

According to common sense, one must have a corresponding spiritual body, and then go through hundreds of years of practice before one can condense this magical power.

Otherwise, the "Ziwu Strange Forbidden Zone" of the "Locking Demon Hall" would have been opened long ago. After all, the cultivators who coveted this palace were, without exception, extremely talented people from both the righteous and evil paths.

And Wei Tu has undoubtedly broken this convention.

"It was just an adventure back then."

Wei Tu smiled when he heard this and avoided the main point.

With the destiny of "late bloomer", there is no threshold for him to practice any technique or any supernatural power. As long as he perseveres, he will reap rewards.

I will never tell anyone else about this.

As for a rare treasure like the Golden Purple Fate Pattern, there was no rumor about it in the world of immortal cultivation, so he was not worried that the Red Dragon Patriarch would guess it.

After all, there are so many special people in the world of immortal cultivation, and there is no shortage of him. In a sense, his aptitude for practicing martial arts and supernatural powers at will can also be regarded as a special spiritual body.

Seeing that Wei Tu did not want to talk more, Patriarch Chilong did not continue to ask. After all, cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage all have their own secrets and opportunities.

Now, his interests are tied to Wei Tu's, and they are also father-in-law and son-in-law, so there is no need to test him further. "It's just that... although Yuanzhong's divine light can break the Ziwu strange prohibition, it is not easy to enter the Locking Demon Hall. All the cultivators are gathered in the three palaces. If you and I make any small moves, they will find it immediately."

The Red Dragon Patriarch got straight to the point and analyzed the current situation for Wei Tu.

The words fell.

A cautious look immediately appeared on Wei Tu's face.

Two fists are no match for four hands.

What’s more, they are a group of powerful warriors in the late Nascent Soul stage.

He also knows his own weight.

"We'll act according to circumstances. If that doesn't work, we'll come back to the Demon Locking Hall six hundred years later."

Wei Tu pondered for a moment and uttered these mature words.

He is only over 600 years old now, and he still has a long life ahead of him, so he is not short of time.

Six hundred years later, the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace was opened again, and he was no longer the "weakling" man he was at that moment.

Maybe, he entered directly at the level of transformation of spirit.

However, at this moment, Wei Tu suddenly realized that the residual soul of the Red Dragon Ancestor suddenly hid in the Dragon Glass Pearl, motionless, in a state of extremely restrained breathing.

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu's mind moved, and he looked around with his spiritual consciousness. Soon he saw a monk wearing golden armor and a helmet, dressed like an ordinary general, flying past him quickly, and his destination was also the "Core Three Palaces".

"Priest Sang?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the back of the golden-armored general whose origins were a mystery.

Back then, it was Priest Sang who took action and beat the Red Dragon Patriarch so hard that his Nascent Soul left his body and he almost lost his soul.

Now, it is normal for the Red Dragon Ancestor to be afraid of this person. After all, he could not beat this person even in his prime, let alone his current state of residual soul.

However, there was one thing that Wei Tu was a little confused about.

He did not remember having seen this "Priest Sang" in the hall before the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace was opened.

If this person is late, he is too late.

You know, he stayed in the precious land of Yuanyang for a full two months.

But before Wei Tu could figure out the reason, the Red Dragon Ancestor who was hiding in the Dragon Glass Pearl suddenly showed excitement on his face.

"I finally understand, finally understand why this priest Sang is chasing me!"

The Red Dragon Patriarch laughed loudly.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was stunned and asked for the specific reason.

He originally thought that Priest Sang was hunting down the Red Dragon Ancestor to steal treasures or to kill for revenge, but now it seems that there seems to be a secret behind this that he doesn't know.

"Friend Wei, you should have noticed just now that Priest Sang arrived a little too late."

"According to common sense, he should have rushed to the three core palaces as soon as possible like those late Nascent Soul cultivators, but unfortunately... he was two months late."

The Red Dragon Ancestor said slowly.

"Why is it too late?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's face showed a thoughtful look.

Among the strong people in the world of immortal cultivation, there are very few who lack a sense of time.

Not to mention that they were late when entering the important secret place of the Zunwang Palace.

"You mean..."

"Priest Sang, have you been late before?"

Wei Tu quickly grasped the key point.

“That’s right!” The Red Dragon Patriarch confirmed Wei Tu’s guess. He nodded and said, “Before, I was still wondering why he insisted on holding me and trying to kill me when I clearly didn’t provoke him or get any treasures in the secret realm.”

"Now, I understand! It's because I saw it just like you 1,200 years ago... when he came to the secret realm of the Royal Palace, he was late!"

The words fell.

Wei Tu's face showed astonishment at first, and then turned into a thoughtful look.

After the reminder from the Red Dragon Ancestor, it was not difficult for him to see that the "lateness" of Priest Sang should be related to an important secret of his.

"Could it be..."

After a while, Wei Tu had some guesses in his mind. He looked at the Red Dragon Patriarch and frowned, "Could it be that this Priest Sang is not a cultivator from the Great Cang Immortal Cultivation World, or even... not a cultivator from this world? Did he lose time because of the space shuttle?"

If it weren't for this reason, he really couldn't imagine why Priest Sang was always "late".

The Red Dragon Ancestor confirmed this speculation.

"Then why didn't this person attack me?"

Wei Tu was puzzled.

Hearing this, the Red Dragon Patriarch smiled and said, "Normally, a Nascent Soul cultivator can only enter the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace three times in his lifetime. This is your first time entering the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace, and seeing that he is late... If I hadn't reminded you, would you have thought that he was a visitor from another world?"

"Perhaps there are reasons that you and I cannot imagine, which prevent him from attacking you."

"Of course, it is also possible that I guessed wrong. This person hunted me down for other reasons. It was not because of the idea that I was a visitor from another world."

The Chilong Patriarch paused and said again.

Cross-boundary teleportation is not unimaginable in the world of immortal cultivation. However, examples of this phenomenon occurring at the Nascent Soul stage are still too rare.

Therefore, although he had some guesses, he did not dare to be too sure.

however--

At this moment, the Red Dragon Patriarch heard Wei Tu's reply.

"Old Demon Zhu, he is your enemy and may attack me, so... can't we just kill him and search his soul? Why think so much?"

Hearing this, the Red Dragon ancestor was stunned for a moment, and then felt greatly relieved.

If someone else said this, he would just think they were bragging, but Wei Tu was different. The Red Dragon Patriarch firmly believed that one day Wei Tu would be able to kill "Priest Sang" and avenge himself.

There is no other reason. The current Wei Tu is stronger than his peers and has higher potential. If he gets the certificate, he will become a god.

In addition, he had fought with Priest Sang before and did not think that the other party was invincible.

"Decades ago, I betrothed Xiao Qi to Wei Tu. This was not a wrong move..."

The Red Dragon Patriarch secretly thought that he was extremely satisfied with his decision to "sell his daughter for fame".

……

a few days later.

Wei Tu successfully arrived at the "Core Three Palaces".

He didn't think much about it and went to the "Demon Locking Hall" on the far left first.

Similar to Yuanyang Palace, the "Locking Demon Hall" is also a large palace complex. Except for the outermost palace which has open restrictions, the innermost palace is wrapped in a layer of red and black light shield, covering it tightly.

In these open rooms, there were seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators, who were constantly using various magical powers to bombard the "artifacts" in these rooms.

Each of these artifacts may seem ordinary, but upon closer inspection, they are all above the fourth level and are rare treasures.

Moreover, some fresh fruits on the fruit plate on the table also exude a refreshing medicinal scent.
