Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

The Immortal Path Inheritance is an unparalleled inheritance that allows one to directly cultivate to the True Immortal Realm. As long as one cultivates step by step and overcomes all tribulations, one will surely be able to attain immortality!

Such an astonishing method is beyond description with words like rare and precious.

This is a true, unparalleled treasure. If it were to circulate to the outside world, it would inevitably attract the attention of many major religions.

Even if it means sacrificing an entire sect or a major power, and ultimately being wiped out, it's not a big deal!

This precious scripture, however, was treated like trash by the little fellow, remaining completely unmoved and showing no intention whatsoever of even touching upon it or studying it.
To an uninformed person, this young man in blue robes appears to be of mediocre talent, lacking in comprehension, and unqualified to study the immortal scriptures and techniques.

If Gongsun Yan hadn't been secretly watching this junior all along, knowing his special nature and everything that happened to him after he ascended to the True Spirit Realm...

It seems this little brat has actually managed to fool us.
"It's not that I look down on the True Immortal's inheritance, but rather that the Earth Immortal Alliance's inheritance is too unique, and the karmic burden it carries is too great, making me feel both apprehensive and fearful."

"I've heard that even immortals from the Earthly Immortal Alliance who ascend to the Immortal Realm are sometimes sent to other star regions to guard the outer reaches of space."

"Such an immortal is really too stifled."

"Throughout my life of cultivation, I have been pursuing freedom, unrestraint, and breaking free from constraints."

"Although it is difficult for me to do this in the current environment, I believe that as my cultivation level improves, breaking free from my self-imposed shackles is only a matter of time."

"But if a disciple chooses those true immortal scriptures, and even eventually attains the true immortal realm, he may find himself only a bird trapped in a cage."

"Then what's the point of all the tribulations I've endured and cultivated for so many years?"

Luo Yan decided to be frank. In front of his own palace master, he became extremely pragmatic and was no longer the stubborn and unyielding person he once was, someone who would let you do whatever you wanted with him.

Luo Yan sincerely explained to Palace Master Gongsun the truth, without hiding anything!
After all, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Mystery Elder of the Earthly Immortal Alliance is, he is still just an outsider.

Even though his spiritual body could be easily destroyed, Luo Yan believed that his physical body would not be affected in the slightest under the protection of the two semi-immortal artifacts.

Whether it's a curse, an assassination, deducing heavenly secrets, or connecting causal relationships, it's all the same.

With the protection of the exquisite pagoda and the ancient mirror of heaven, he was not afraid of any underhanded attacks!
Since her life and safety would not be affected, Luo Yan naturally did not need to worry too much about bearing the burden of many causes and effects.

But the person in front of him was different. He was the master of his own Heavenly Mystery Hall, and he and Luo Yan belonged to the same clan, the same lineage, and were even under the same roof.

If a powerful figure like Palace Master Gongsun were to harbor malicious intent, Luo Yan's chances of saving her life would almost entirely depend on the other party's whim.

This is not alarmist; it is a real phenomenon!

The main body only holds a portion of the authority of the Star Observatory, yet it can command tens of thousands of Heavenly Mystery Hall disciples at the Void Refinement Realm, preventing them from disobeying its decrees.

If it were a real hall master, supreme elder, or palace master who took action, how terrifying would that be?
After all, they share the same lineage and origin, and are directly under the jurisdiction of the government.
The weight here is simply too heavy!
Luo Yan dared not gamble with her own life.

Sometimes, it's good to be pragmatic.

At least they can live a long time.

Therefore, at this moment, no matter how much dissatisfaction Luo Yan had, he had to be an obedient good boy.

There is absolutely no disloyalty!

Luo Yan can be arrogant in front of outsiders, but he has to be humble and submissive in front of his own teachers and elders.

Otherwise, if he displeases an old monster of this level, the other party will no longer talk about camaraderie.
If Luo Yan doesn't want to be dignified, his own palace master definitely has the strength and the right to make him sensible and dignified!
"A bird in a cage"

Gongsun Yan murmured, his expression slightly shifting, revealing a unique insight.

Is becoming an immortal just going from one prison to another?
Since the beginning of the Five Elements Sect, Gongsun Yan had been planning the path to immortality for thousands of years, and the method to escape the Tribulation of True Immortals was actually revealed by a younger generation in a single sentence.

Yes, even if one has attained immortality and become a celestial being, one still cannot be free and do as one pleases.
To be bound by constraints, to be controlled and instructed by the gods and immortals of the upper realm.
What kind of immortality did he attain? What path to freedom did he pursue?
If they were truly such immortals, wouldn't Gongsun Yan's attainment of immortality be in vain?
Yes, heaven and earth are a cage, and these so-called great men are nothing more than caged birds.

He had cultivated for over ten thousand years, yet he still couldn't see through the illusions of a junior who was only two hundred years old.
"No wonder you, little guy, can be one of the variables even without amazing luck."

"You are merely a mortal, yet your eyes can see through appearances to the true nature of the world."

"In this respect alone, you may not even be as good as the original self."

Gongsun Yan sighed, the True Immortal Tribulation was about to arrive, and the pressure on him was immense.

Although he still appears calm and collected on the surface, always with an air of complete control, he has even prepared several ways to avoid disaster.

But family members know their own business.

Gongsun Yan was very anxious, extremely anxious!
He worried that the three variables he valued might not be able to break free from those shackles, and he also worried that he might be defeated by other astrologers, thus losing his chance to become an immortal.

Gongsun Yan was even more afraid of dying in that great calamity of destiny.
Therefore, his heart was not at peace.

However, Gongsun Yan hid himself very well, and was almost unknown to outsiders.

But today, the idea put forward by this young man in green robes gave Gongsun Yan a sudden shock, and he understood many things.

Under the pressure of life and death, he became somewhat obsessed.

Pursuing speed in everything deviates from the true nature of a practitioner of destiny.

If this continues for a long time, it will inevitably lead to big problems!
Yes, the Tao sounds profound, mysterious, complex, and ever-changing.

In reality, for those with profound understanding, the 'Tao' is merely a handy weapon; having it is fine, not having it is also acceptable.
It is not that one cannot cultivate oneself properly if one departs from the Tao.
"Your insight truly surprises me, but it also proves that I and Junior Brother White Eyebrows were not wrong about you."

"You little rascal, you're perfect to take my place on Tianyun Star."

Despite his feelings of感慨 (gǎn kǎi, deep emotion), Gongsun Yan quickly let go of his complex emotions. Anyone who had reached his level felt certain about their future path.

Although this young man in green robes had a unique perspective, it briefly impacted the ideas in his mind.

But Gongsun Yan still hadn't forgotten his original intention; he needed this little guy to take over his position.

It wasn't that he looked down on the other successor of the Star Envoy, but rather that his experience from the previous hundred or so experiences had taught him that even those with extraordinary talent would find it difficult to live for more than eight hundred years on Tianyun Star!

This is not a curse, but a predetermined fate. Those who peek into the secrets of heaven will ultimately be devoured by them!

Moreover, he is responsible for inspecting the three thousand minor realms and governing the entire Earth Immortal Alliance!
This is risking their lives, fighting against death!
In the long run, how could the descendants of the Heavenly Fortune Star not have short lifespans?

Moreover, the True Immortal Inheritance is a genuine Immortal Path inheritance, which inherently requires cultivators to have extremely high talent and aptitude, as well as superhuman comprehension, the ability to deduce heavenly secrets, and an understanding of many other conditions such as avoiding causality.

Only when all of the above conditions are met can one barely qualify to inherit this legacy.

After inheriting the immortal lineage, one must ensure the normal operation of the Heavenly Fortune Star, divine the fortunes of the three thousand minor realms within the Earthly Immortal Alliance, and avoid being devoured by the Heavenly Dao consciousness.
This refers to a person with a "tough" fate, someone who is not envied by the heavens.
Only when all the above conditions are met can a person be qualified to become the true astrologer of the Heavenly Fortune Star.
These conditions are indeed too demanding and too difficult to meet.

Even a great figure like Gongsun Yan, who controls a top-tier ancient sect with countless disciples, can still absorb the most outstanding cultivation talents at the Immortal Fate Conference.
Even so, he still finds it difficult to find a satisfactory successor.

There are many beings who can glimpse the Dao, but not a single one can withstand the backlash of the Dao's consciousness for a long time.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to successfully pass on the legacy of the Heavenly Fortune Star.

Ordinary geniuses don't even have the qualifications to make contact. Even the most exceptionally talented geniuses, appearing only once in a millennium, would find it difficult to survive for more than a thousand years, ultimately dying from the backlash of the Heavenly Dao's consciousness.
This is the problem that Gongsun Yan finds extremely troublesome.

If he cannot find a perfect successor to carry on the immortal lineage of Tianyun Star, he will not be qualified to compete for the chance to become an immortal.

If Gongsun Yan cannot participate in the competition for True Immortal positions within the Earthly Immortal Alliance, he will find it difficult to avoid the True Immortal Tribulation several hundred years from now.
One thing leads to another, the pressure is immense!

Left with no other choice, Gongsun Yan had to set his sights on the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, but after searching for over a thousand years, he still couldn't find a suitable target.

Until this young man in green appeared
Honestly, this little guy wasn't special at all when he first appeared.

They are the kind of people who would be completely inconspicuous if thrown into a crowd.

It was only through a coincidence that Bai Mei's junior brother brought Gongsun Yan to his attention.

Therefore, both Gongsun Yan and the White-Browed Palace Master have repeatedly predicted the future of this young man in green robes.

Almost every time, they can easily deduce a corner of the future.

It seems that this little guy is just an ordinary, utterly ordinary cultivator.

But thanks to his junior brother Bai Mei's persistent observation, he finally discovered that this little guy was different.
Almost immediately, given enough time, this corner of the future will undergo tremendous changes.

It seemed as if the fate of this young man in green robes was constantly in flux.

The vision of the future that Gongsun Yan and his companions glimpsed was actually just a reflection of a spiritual aura, not a manifestation of true destiny.

Like a mirage, it is sometimes dreamlike and sometimes ever-changing, seemingly close at hand, but in fact, it transcends reality.

It was around that time that the figure of this young man in green appeared in the sight of Bai Mei and Gongsun Yan.

In fact, the Immortal Destiny Assembly was a test arranged by Gongsun Yan. He wanted to see if this young man in blue robes who had ascended from the lower realm could make it all the way to the end.

In the end, Gongsun Yan remained silent.

He guessed that this young man in blue robes might fail, or he might succeed.
He can accept it.

What Gongsun Yan didn't expect was that this little guy actually took a different path, which surprised him greatly.

Even though he had obtained the identity of the Earthly Immortal Alliance and acquired the rare treasure Time Token, he still disdained the True Immortal inheritance, openly breaking the inheritance's restrictions and then giving it away.
This choice was something Gongsun Yan had never expected.

You see, even a certain astrologer couldn't stand this brat's behavior, so he secretly instigated others to attack him during the Immortal Destiny Assembly.
This is bizarre, absolutely bizarre!

No wonder he is one of the three major variables within the Five Elements Sect!

"Logically speaking, you are the one I have chosen, and the future of Tianyun Star should be passed down in our lineage."

"This is of paramount importance, both for my Five Elements Sect and for our future path."

“In the past, I might have forced you to accept the inheritance of the Heavenly Fortune Star, because I have the power to control this position and naturally do not want it to be lost again.”

“But since you are someone that both I and Junior Brother Bai Mei value, and you have your own ideas, then I can respect your opinion and not interfere with your cultivation too much.”

"but."

Gongsun Yan paused, his words were flat, but they were filled with an undeniable air of authority.

Those in high positions and those with great power act according to their own will.

The weak have no right to bargain in their presence.

Therefore, Gongsun Yan never even considered that this young man in blue robes might refuse.

"As long as the legacy of the Heavenly Fortune Star can be perfectly passed down, I won't mind if you don't learn this legacy."

"But you must promise that you will take on the responsibility here until a suitable successor to the Heavenly Fortune Star is found."

Before this, even Gongsun Yan himself couldn't guarantee whether this young man in green robes, with his current level of skill and destiny, could complete the mission of the Heavenly Fortune Star.

But when he discovered that even his attempts to entice the little guy with the promise of a true immortal inheritance and his threats of death were ineffective, he realized that he couldn't get the little guy to comply.

Gongsun Yan then realized that he had definitely not chosen the wrong person!
Because both the inheritance of the Heavenly Fortune Star and the position one occupies are burdened with immense karmic consequences.

Those who can glimpse this point without getting a single leaf on their body want to peek into a corner of the future of those three thousand minor worlds.
It's by no means a difficult task.

"Disciple accepts the order!"

Luo Yan bowed respectfully, without haggling or pressing for details, simply remaining quiet and compliant.

He had deeply understood the principle that "the arm can't twist the thigh" in his previous life.

Facing a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the True Spirit Realm, Luo Yan was naturally extremely obedient.

There is always a way when you reach the mountain!
He wouldn't be foolish enough to choose a forceful approach and put himself in danger. (End of Chapter)
