Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 357 The Road to Supreme Power

Lin Fan was speechless. What a clever way to subdue someone with "courtesy." If he weren't outmatched, he would definitely have shown him why the flowers were so red.

Of course, being able to enter the Immortal Academy is also a good thing, as he will be exposed to more things, which is just right for him now.

“That’s a good place, better than the Patching Heaven Sect, worth going to.” An elder couldn’t help but speak up, and even he himself wanted to go.

If it weren't for my advanced age and the fact that my talent and cultivation don't meet the requirements of the Immortal Academy, I would be willing to be a guard even if it meant losing face.

Being selected by such an academy is an absolute honor for most people, like a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

"Whether you go or not is up to you." A voice entered Lin Fan's ears, as gentle as heavenly music.

In the distance, a graceful figure walked by, her black hair flowing, her light blue dress rippling like water, as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

The newcomer was incredibly beautiful, with unparalleled elegance, like a celestial being descended to earth, shrouded in a misty haze, exuding an indescribable sanctity.

It was Qingyao!

"Beautiful sister!" Lin Fan exclaimed with delight, looking towards the entrance of the palace.

In fact, he hadn't seen Qingyao for a long time because she was trying to break through to the Supreme Realm and was not in the sect, but was traveling outside to experience the mortal world.

Of course, they weren't completely out of touch. After all, Qingyao didn't trust Lin Fan and occasionally used special means to find out what was going on.

"Hmm, not simple. The aura is fluctuating. It seems that your sect will soon have another Supreme."

The Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy was surprised. As someone who had been through similar experiences, he could immediately see Qingyao's current state.

only……

Everyone was shocked, including the elders of the Heaven-Mending Path. They were all extremely shocked, knowing that this was not a flattering statement.

What is the Supreme Being?
It represents the pinnacle of humanity, a synonym for invincibility in the world, and can also be called an enlightened being, the final stage on the path to immortality.

There are even rumors that one cannot become an immortal without touching this realm.

However, once a cultivator reaches this level, they can crush all living beings below the Supreme level.

Therefore, everyone was so shocked and incredulous when they heard that Qingyao was going to become the Supreme Being.

"What have you decided?" the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy asked with a smile.

“Going is feasible, but the Immortal Academy must provide us with the resources needed for our transformation, such as the blood of the Ten Fiends, fragments of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, and Immortal Scriptures…”

"Oh, by the way, joining is fine, but there's no need to become an apprentice."

Lin Fan put forward his requirements.

Upon hearing this, the mouths of those around him nearly dropped to their throats.

Because Lin Fan wanted far too much, and each of them was a rare and precious material for immortal cultivation. How many people could afford it?

For a moment, the elders nearby tried to dissuade him, saying that entering the Immortal Academy was already a great fortune, so how could he dare to make such a request?

What if... angering this supreme being would be disastrous.

"Ahem..." At this moment, even Elder Butian Dao couldn't help but cough lightly to remind him, stealing a glance at Zhili's expression.

Surprisingly, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy granted all of Lin Fan's unreasonable requests.

“No problem. Although the blood of the Ten Fiends is difficult to obtain, there are still some fragments of ancient elixirs that can cleanse your marrow and meridians.”

At this moment, Lin Fan himself was slightly surprised. Did the old man agree so readily?

I was caught off guard!
Although he is exceptionally talented, a place like the Immortal Academy should have no shortage of geniuses with three strands of immortal energy, right?

However, as if afraid he would change his mind, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy immediately slapped the button and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. Pack your things and come with me to the Immortal Academy in a few days."

"So urgent? Senior, why don't you... tell me your requirements?" Lin Fan asked tentatively, feeling that it was unreal and that he might have encountered a fake Grand Elder of the Immortal Academy.

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. The great calamity of the era is approaching, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths need more people with outstanding talents. It is our responsibility to nurture them."

Xiang Zhili was very serious.

In fact, he had already learned a lot before he came, and knew some things about Lin Fan, which made him more certain of a certain idea in his heart.

As long as Lin Fan is brought into the Immortal Academy, the resources given out are nothing; in fact, they will receive even more, and someone will naturally pay for it.

The Devouring Demon Emperor and the Holy Emperor's Palace—this is definitely a treasure trove…

"The Nine Heavens are about to become noisy." Xiang Zhili glanced at Lin Fan and smiled like an old fox.

Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine, goosebumps rising on his skin. He had a feeling that the old man was not normal and had acted rashly just now.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only three people in the entire hall.

“Don’t worry, you’ll find the answer you’re looking for when you reach the Ninth Heaven,” Qingyao said, her dress fluttering in the wind, her skin as white as jade.

"Hmm?" Lin Fan scratched his head, wondering why everyone was talking nonsense.

……

The night was bright with a clear moon and sparkling stars. Yuechan nestled in Lin Fan's arms and said, "I wonder how many years this journey will take?"

"It won't be long. If you want to come back in a few years, I can come with you." Lin Fan gently pinched her little nose.

"It's not that easy. The Nine Heavens and the Three Thousand Dao States are separated by forbidden zones and endless star fields. It would be possible to do so only by using an ancient teleportation array."

Lin Fan smiled but didn't say anything. He knew that the Heavenly God Academy would start enrolling students in a few years, so it wouldn't be a problem to take advantage of the opportunity.

Moreover, by then, he might have become a cult leader, making it easier for him to travel back and forth.

"Are you still thinking about what happened during the day?" Yuechan asked, seeing him deep in thought.

Anyone with eyes could see that the Supreme Being's gaze was entirely fixed on Lin Fan during the day, indicating that he took him very seriously.

Moreover, it seems there's more to it than just Lin Fan's high talent; there must be something else at play, otherwise a supreme being wouldn't treat him this way.

"A little, but the pretty lady said that everything will become clear when we reach the ninth heaven."

Lin Fan's large, fierce hands were rubbed and deformed with force. His worry wasn't about this matter, but rather about Qingyao's impending ascension to the throne.

After all, the path to supreme power is fraught with corpses, and that's no exaggeration; it's truly fraught with great danger and eeriness.

Throughout history, many have taken this step to strive for supreme power, but in the end, 99% of them perish.

Because if one's heart is bound by the trials of heaven and earth, and one cannot follow the natural way, one will perish both body and soul when faced with these trials.

This is the essence of supreme power; it requires not only the accumulation of strength and the concentration of magical power, but also the tempering of the mind.

Therefore, to attain enlightenment, one must experience the myriad aspects of life, struggle through the turbulent world, and in a moment of liberation of the mind, the shackles are broken, and one becomes the supreme being.

However, this is not absolute. If one takes the body as the seed, the self as the root, the self as the foundation, and the self as the truth, seeking the inner rather than the outer, the way to become the supreme one will naturally be different.

This is also an important reason why Shi Hao was able to become a Supreme Being before the age of 500, or even a Supreme Being of the Extreme Dao at the age of 200.

"Ooh... Gently... Be gentle..." Yuechan blushed and patted the big pig's trotter on her chest.

"I have something to do and I'm going out for a while. Don't leave the door open for me tonight."

Lin Fan smiled, released the large "fierce" object, kissed her red lips, and flew towards another sacred mountain.

With a supreme being right before us, it's better to seek his advice than to speculate wildly on our own.
