Chapter 336 I Should Become a Celestial Immortal and Ascend to Immortality

Yu Que looked at his own immortal garden, which was drawing endless nourishment from the Mountain and River Map.

His gaze was momentarily unfocused, and his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of anticipation.

Once the Mountain and River Map is completely refined into his inner world, his cultivation level can be greatly enhanced!
In an instant, a tremendous commotion swept across thousands of miles.

Even the entire Dao Secret Realm seemed to sense something, trembling at Yu Que's actions.

With a snap, Yu Que's inner world suddenly shook.

Unwittingly, it broke through the ten thousand miles mark again, and continues to expand and grow.

Various wondrous sights also appeared in the inner world; mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas all emitted unparalleled spiritual light.

The immortals in the capital city looked up and immediately knew that it must be a fairyland!
Such commotion only added to Yu Que's delight:

"With a radius exceeding ten thousand square kilometers, the Immortal Garden has transformed into a blessed land; it's secure!"

He immediately shook his sleeves again, spreading his divine sense into the inner world, manipulating the complex spiritual energy and dragon energy within, transforming them into mountains, rivers, and other forms in an orderly manner.

Thus, Baiyujing continued its expansion with an overwhelming and unparalleled momentum.

Rumble! It continued to expand until it reached a size of 30,000 li before slowly halting its expansion.

Just then, an extremely angry and unwilling scream suddenly rang out from the map of mountains and rivers:
"No! I'm not reconciled..."

That voice belonged to the old Taoist priest who had possessed the body.

The other party's voice resounded throughout the entire Dao Secret Realm, its tone filled with despair and ferocity. Many people felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing it.

Furthermore, within the Daoist Secret Realm, the expressions of some who had once entered and exited the past Immortal Mountain changed drastically, recognizing the voice as that of the Celestial Immortal Elder who preached the Dao in the Immortal Mountain.

And each of these people harbors the remnant soul of an old Taoist priest within their minds.

Some of them know this, while others don't.

Those who knew the truth hurriedly questioned the remnant soul in their minds, trying to pry more information out of it.

But to their utter horror, when the old Taoist's desperate cry echoed throughout the entire Dao Secret Realm, the remnant soul in his mind, after only a few breaths' delay, also cried out in terror and despair:
"No, this is impossible!"

Crack! A series of cracking sounds rang out in the skulls of these people.

All that could be seen was that the remnant souls of the old Taoist priests who accompanied them shattered and turned into nothingness.

This situation left these immortals and cultivators feeling extremely disappointed, and they all cried out in their minds, unwilling to accept it, "Daoist Master, Daoist Master!"

"What's wrong with you?"

As for those immortal cultivators who were unaware that uninvited guests had already appeared in their minds, they didn't feel anything at the moment their remnant souls shattered; they only felt as if they were hallucinating.

I have a vague feeling that a heavy shackle has been lifted from my heart.

These people had no idea what had happened.

But Yu Que knew.

The scream that just now echoed throughout the entire Dao Secret Realm meant that the old Daoist from Immortal Mountain had his entire existence refined by the Mountain and River Map, and was beyond dead.

Even the true spirit that the old Taoist cultivated after becoming a Celestial Immortal was imprisoned in the Mountain and River Map, becoming a spirit of the artifact, unable to reincarnate.

This method is both fierce and ruthless. It can be said that, in the absence of being able to eliminate the Celestial Immortal, it is a far more thorough approach than simply suppressing and sealing this fiend.

But this way.

This also made it convenient for Yu Que to take charge of and use this map of mountains and rivers, and he could use it from time to time to comprehend the so-called celestial spirits, making it a divine artifact for enlightenment.

Above the imperial capital.

Yu Que reviewed the changes in the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and holding the treasure map, he immediately sat down in his own Jade Palace with a smile.

Baiyujing has now become a blessed land spanning 30,000 li, and it can be said that it is only one step away from becoming a grotto-heaven.

What Yu Que needs to do next is to use the effects of the blessed land to break through his cultivation level and elevate his cultivation to the level of Earth Immortal, so as to match the grade of the blessed land.

He was sitting high on a cloud bed.

Countless energies and countless flashes of inspiration emerged around him.

For a moment, it seemed as if he was the only one in the entire Daoist Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, its own energy was rapidly increasing at a speed that even immortals could not imagine.

Day one.

Yu Que harvested an almost inexhaustible amount of spiritual energy from the blessed land, which he refined into his immortal body to advance his cultivation level.

Day two.

He also harvested a massive amount of fortune from the blessed land, some from immortals and some from overseas cultivators.

The primordial spirits of overseas cultivators were wiped out in one fell swoop. The destruction of the entire cultivator faction was already a foregone conclusion. There was no need for Yuque to intervene further; they would be dealt with by the immortals.

In this situation, the cultivators' luck and defeat came first, and they were easily captured by Yu Que through the Central Plains' luck net and taken to the blessed land.

With the blessing of this massive amount of fortune, and holding the Mountain and River Map, which contained a celestial spirit, Yu Que's inspiration surged, his thoughts flowed freely, and his cultivation and enlightenment became as simple as eating and drinking.

Day three.

He was one with the Dao, and his true energy and immortal body had all broken through the limits of true immortals, making him a veritable earth immortal.

Yu Que can now clearly feel that the entire Dao Secret Realm is a bit too narrow for him.

It was like a room, and he could easily use his divine sense and perception to explore any place in the Dao Secret Realm.

Furthermore, this house is extremely fragile, as if he could collapse it if he turned over carelessly.

"It seems that with the current foundation of the Dao Secret Realm, it is difficult for it to even withstand a single Earth Immortal."

Yu Que opened his eyes, thinking to himself:

"If I didn't have a fairy garden and inherit the map of mountains and rivers left by my predecessors, I would probably have to absorb all the luck of both immortals and cultivators to advance to the level of a terrestrial immortal."

But in doing so, the foundation of this world was completely exhausted, unable to continue struggling in the void, and could only turn into a cold, desolate desert, devoid of life.

As he pondered, a thought struck him, and he immediately swayed.

All of a sudden.

The magnificent view of the blessed land, stretching for 30,000 li above the capital, has vanished.

Yu Que, who seemed like the chosen one of the world, also vanished, as if the scene that resembled an ancient myth was merely an illusion.

However, whether it is people in the capital, or cultivators and beings outside the capital, or even throughout the entire Daoist Secret Realm, they can clearly feel that the whole world is still cheering and rejoicing for Yu Que.

But outside the void of the Dao Secret Realm.

Yu Que stood at the edge of the world, looking at the Dao Secret Realm floating in the darkness, his face full of emotion.

With his current Earth Immortal realm, he could clearly and directly see that the edge of the Dao Secret Realm was constantly peeling away and falling off, turning into fragments that were completely submerged in darkness.

Moreover, the entire Dao Secret Realm is not like a normal world at all. Apart from the Central Land Realm and the overseas immortal sects' residences, everywhere is like a sieve, and spiritual energy can be lost if one is not careful.

All of this must be the reason why the spiritual energy of the Daoist Secret Realm has been depleted to this day. Let me ponder for a moment.

A resolute look appeared in Yu Que's eyes.

"Time waits for me."

He muttered to himself, "In today's Daoist secret realm, it's even difficult to cultivate Earth Immortals. No matter how much I cultivate, I'm just a frog in a well, limiting myself."

Why not seize the opportunity and rush straight to the realm of celestial immortals!

The raging flames burned fiercely in Yu Que's eyes.

When he made this decision and his aura exploded, the weakened Daoist Realm before him seemed to sense his intention and was filled with boundless joy and blessings.

Yu Que seemed to sense something, and then he spoke:
"I, Yuque, today wish to fulfill my grand ambition: to create an eternal peace for the Daoist realm!"

Rumble!
The sound, after the old Taoist's scream that echoed throughout the entire Daoist Secret Realm, entered everyone's ears again, causing everyone's minds to tremble once more.

Then they heard something even more unbelievable:

"I should be a celestial being!"

After reciting this sentence, Yu Que held the Mountain and River Map in his hand and suddenly swung it around, using it to seemingly envelop the entire Dao Secret Realm.

Immediately, he released his inner world, which stretched across the void.

In an instant, for the first time in history, a perfectly real moon appeared in the sky above the Dao Secret Realm. Its color was as white as jade, without any flaws, and it contained various celestial palaces that could be seen with the naked eye.

Moreover, in the eyes of countless beings in the Dao Secret Realm, this moon is getting closer and closer, as if it is about to swallow the entire sky.

This scene shows Yu Que driving Bai Yujing in an attempt to incorporate the vast Dao Secret Realm into it.

Although his inner world was vast, compared to the entire Dao Secret Realm, it was still like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—pure wishful thinking.

However, the Dao Secret Realm itself was willing to cooperate with Yu Que, turning itself entirely into nourishment to nurture Yu Que, its last "offspring".

Furthermore, the Mountain and River Map had already been refined by Yu Que.

This item was indeed crafted by a celestial being from beyond the heavens. Apart from nurturing the rudiments of a blessed land, its only remaining function is to collect all things and bring them back in a package.

Yu Que covered the Dao Secret Realm with the Mountain and River Map, which was enough to include the Central Land Realm and many spiritual lands overseas.

If this is combined with the will of the Dao Secret Realm itself, the entire Dao Secret Realm can barely squeeze into it.

Yu Que waited quietly.

The situation did not disappoint him; despite cracking, the Mountain and River Map still temporarily included the Dao Secret Realm within it.

Then, the treasure map slowly shrank, becoming less than 30,000 li away.

Yu Que stood in front of the treasure map, looked down at it, and suddenly felt that the mountains and rivers in it were like cats and dogs.

He chuckled, then uttered a single word:
"Photography!"

Whoohoo!
In the eyes of those in the Daoist Mystic Realm, the white jade-silver moon in the sky moved swiftly, truly encroaching upon the entire heavens, as if swallowing the sky whole.

And this is indeed the case.

The remaining Jade Capital already incorporates the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

This combination of factors creates a very dangerous situation.

After all, sealing heaven and earth with magical artifacts and swallowing magical artifacts with blessed lands could easily lead to disaster, like a snake swallowing an elephant, resulting in the destruction of all three.

But this opportunity is the only chance for the Dao Secret Realm to return to the outer heavens!

This is also Yu Que's greatest chance to become a celestial being.

Indeed, his achievement of becoming a Celestial Immortal was not about ascending to heaven amidst the clouds, but about ascending from his dwelling, or rather, ascending from his entire realm.

He wants to lift up the Dao Secret Realm, break free from this dark and decadent void, and reappear in the real starry sky, standing alongside many other worlds.

At that time, the world was renewed and blessings were bestowed upon him; that was the moment he became a celestial being.

"Give me, get up!"

Yu Que's body expanded, transforming into a giant tens of thousands of feet tall.

He lifted up his inner world and then soared upwards, heading towards the brightest star in his eyes.

During the flight, his spiritual energy was constantly being depleted, and his immortal body was constantly being eroded by the surrounding Yin Void.

This made Yu Que realize why, according to legend, only a grotto-heaven could truly detach itself from the world and live independently.

He also realized how treacherous the void would be without the protection of a world, with a despairing coldness and wolves everywhere, ready to devour any living being.

Fortunately, Yu Que was not truly traveling alone in the Yin Void.

Within his inner world, the countless immortals, including cultivators and all other living beings, all knew what was happening and sincerely prayed for him.

Strands of fortune, unstoppable, seeped from the Mountain and River Map and from the Jade Palace, hanging down onto Yu Que's body.

And so, Yu Que, oblivious to hunger and thirst, seemed to have no end in sight, trekking through the void, seeking only to lift himself and the Dao Secret Realm out of this cold and silent void.

One year, two years.

Ten years, a hundred years...

His thoughts seemed to have passed in an instant, but within the Dao Secret Realm, earth-shattering changes had taken place.

The immortals and cultivators fought another great battle, but because of Yu Que's attitude, the cultivators preserved their overseas sect strongholds and were not completely wiped out.

Even with the appeals of insightful individuals, people have come to realize that Yuque is not merely a deity, but rather a combination of deity and cultivator.

Thus, an unprecedented exchange between immortals and Taoists began, presided over by the Huangshan Taoist Palace.

As for worldly affairs, the incense offerings quickly declined, and Yu Que's uncle rose to become the new founding emperor.

In order to prevent my uncle and aunt from dying before Yu Que returns.

The Palace Master of Huangshan specially retrieved the elixir of immortality from the Medicine King Temple to extend the lives of his uncle and aunt, allowing the two, who were no different from ordinary people, to live for another hundred years.

In an instant, the Dao Secret Realm seemed to have returned to the ancient times. Various Daoist methods and lineages arose, and the lifespans of cultivators were restored to ancient times. Even the evil spirits and strange occurrences that could not be eradicated within the realm began to gradually dissipate.

If this situation continues, it shouldn't be long before a true immortal is born in the Dao Secret Realm without needing to rely on luck.

It is merely a void, a deficiency.

He had been traveling for an unknown amount of time. Even with the blessings and protection of all things in the Dao Secret Realm and the nourishment of its fortune, his immortal body was riddled with cracks, and even his mind was being eroded by the void, making him look like an old man who was on his deathbed.

This void of heaven and earth is ultimately not a place where celestial immortals can be born, but if one is not a celestial immortal, there is no way to fly out of it.

Yu Que is currently just following the inertia of his grand ambition, continuing his journey.

Thoughts kept surging in his mind:
"That's it... This is a waste of effort. How can one become a celestial being so easily achieved?"

"Let's stop here... Abandoning this immortal body is a waste. Let's just use this immortal body and Bai Yujing as resources for the Dao Secret Realm. As for the future, we can trust in the potential of those who come after..."

The thought of reincarnation grew stronger in Yu Que's heart.
