Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 499 Di Chong, who had the worst luck in eight lifetimes

The Immortal Ancient City was in an uproar. Whether it was the occurrence of a tragedy or someone cultivating immortal energy, it caused a great sensation.

"Sister Qingyi, your treasure is amazing! Did you kill that person?" Shi Hao's eyes sparkled, eager to know the result.

Not only him, but everyone else present was also eager to know the outcome of that battle, which was truly astonishing.

“He didn’t die. He has a single horn that can rival my bracelet, and he took the opportunity to hide in his lair,” Qingyi said.

"It's not that simple after all. This person has most likely obtained the inheritance of the Ten Fiends in the Fiend Nest, but he has kept it hidden and has been planning for six or seven lifetimes, using the blood of all living beings to nourish it. Now, his Dao fruit is about to be achieved."

When the four-time champion Chang Gongyan spoke, everyone felt a sense of apprehension.

Furthermore, once the celestial aura is released, many people will be restless and unwilling to fall behind. They will be like moths to a flame, risking their lives to break through the barrier.

What's most shocking is that the mysterious person we saw tonight was already incredibly powerful, but there was another one.

"May I ask, Sister Qingyi, how did you cultivate your immortal aura? Could you share some of your experience?" Shi Hao asked.

For a moment, everyone was curious and turned to look, wanting to know if there was a specific way to cultivate immortal energy.

As everyone knows, there is a freak in the Three Thousand Provinces who, before even entering the Immortal Ancient Realm, already possesses three strands of immortal energy, which is astonishing.

Others may not know, but Shi Hao is well aware that Qingyi and Lin Fan have a close relationship and are pioneers on this path.

"My method may not be suitable for you. You need to fuse with a celestial seed, grow together, and then switch to ancient methods to generate celestial energy..."

Qingyi didn't hide anything and shared some of her experiences.

Because Lin Fan had already told her that a great war was about to break out at the border, and the calamity that would continue from the previous era was about to arrive.

Under these circumstances, there is no need for further internal strife or clinging to outdated ideas.

"Merging with a divine seed and following ancient methods?" People were astonished, their faces full of curiosity.

"Actually, our current system is somewhat different from that of the ancient times. Cultivating ancient methods requires a seed, and immortal energy is what prepares it for..."

These words broadened everyone's horizons, but they also sighed. Immortal seeds are hard to find, rare treasures, and few can obtain them.

"The immortal sapling of the Ten-Crown King should also be considered an immortal seed, right?" the Dragon Girl asked.

“That’s right. The World Tree sapling can be said to be the top-level immortal seed. I feel that the person in the evil nest before also followed this path.”

"Could it be... that I absolutely have to fuse with a celestial seed?" Shi Hao frowned.

Because there aren't that many seeds available in the world, those who can't find the seeds of the Dao can't cultivate immortality.
"Not necessarily. The seed just makes taking that first step easier. When you reach the end of your journey, a mystical aura will appear."

Qingyi talked to them a lot, and in short, she warned them to be careful, because historically, those who became gods in unconventional ways would encounter misfortune and their primordial spirit would disappear inexplicably.

Especially in the Immortal Ancient Realm, although she hasn't encountered anything strange yet, she'll probably encounter something similar next.

This is why, throughout history, there have been very few beings possessing celestial energy, less than one in ten thousand; most people have died.

Everyone sighed upon hearing this; this path was too difficult, and there was almost no hope in sight…

"Don't be discouraged. Someone once told me that cultivating immortal energy doesn't necessarily make you the strongest. If you break through to the extreme realm, you can still be a match for them."

Qingyi revealed another path: when the world's laws continuously recreate their peak in each realm, like the merging of a grotto-heaven, one can also be invincible under heaven.

Then, everyone left one after another, hoping to go into seclusion immediately, because today's conversation had deeply moved everyone and left them with profound insights.

"Qingyi, I'm leaving too. Once I've cultivated my immortal energy, I'll come back to find you and roam freely through the ancient immortal realm!" Feng Wu also departed, to ponder her own path.

Although they encountered dangers on their trip to the Nest Realm, they also gained a lot, at least picking quite a few sacred medicinal herbs.

Moreover, despite Feng Wu's seemingly carefree nature, she is actually quite perceptive. This best friend has her own secrets, which is why she didn't invite her to join them.

Shi Hao was the last to leave. He couldn't help but ask, "Sister Qingyi, what was Brother Xiaofan's choice?" "He said..." Qingyi smiled and continued, "Only children make choices. Adults walk both paths and create their own way!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's eyes shone brightly, as if his resolve had strengthened. He strode away to go into seclusion and perfect his path.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, before Shi Hao had gone far, the world changed, the stars shifted, and he seemed to have arrived in another world.

"What's going on? What happened?" Shi Hao was dumbfounded and very vigilant.

When everything returned to calm, he had already stepped into another ancient land, a place of peace and tranquility, where purple bamboo swayed gently.

Not far away, on a strange rock, sat a figure, motionless, meditating on the Great Dao, oblivious to the outside world.

Upon seeing this person, Shi Hao was taken aback, a strange expression appearing on his face. He said, "Hehe, I didn't expect him to be in seclusion here. I obtained him without any effort."

Shi Hao grinned, revealing his white teeth, and looked at the figure who had entered a deep level of enlightenment, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

On the other side, the void twisted and a man appeared, tall and slender, with surging chaotic light, looking very mysterious.

Standing nearby, Qingyi asked in confusion, "Where did you put Xiao Naihao?"

"I happened to see Di Chong on the way here, but with my current level of cultivation, I disdain to make a move, so I had to find someone else to do it for me," Lin Fan said with a strange laugh.

Qingyi was speechless. Based on her understanding, this was probably not a coincidence, but something this guy did on purpose.

At this moment, she felt a pang of pity for the successor of the Immortal Palace. To encounter such a pair of fellow disciples was truly the worst luck imaginable.

"boom!"

As expected, Di Chong of the Purple Bamboo Forest looked aggrieved, covered in blood, and was almost scared into going berserk.

His eyes were bloodshot with rage as he asked in bewilderment, "How did you end up here and find my secluded retreat?"

In fact, Shi Hao was puzzled as to how he got here, as if he had been forcibly sent here by someone with great magical power.

However, regardless of the circumstances, this is a good thing for him, meaning that he can eliminate this formidable enemy today.

"You just wait! I'll come back to kill you in two hours after I've recovered from my injuries!" Di Chong roared, activating the teleportation array and preparing to escape.

To his surprise, the teleportation array was ineffective, and the surrounding space was completely imprisoned, which made him feel uneasy.

"Haha... It seems even the heavens are on my side. You can't escape now. Today is your death day!" Shi Hao sneered.

Clearly, someone was secretly helping him, deliberately sending him close to Di Chong and sealing off the void, all in order to kill this fiend.

Next, a great battle broke out, and the result was as expected: the successor of the Immortal Palace was defeated and his life hung by a thread.

"Ah... I refuse to accept this!"

Di Chong roared to the sky, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He was so angry that he went mad, his eyes turning bloodshot, but he still couldn't change the outcome of his defeat.

"It's no use if you're not convinced. Blame it on the fact that your Immortal Palace has committed many evils, and many people don't like you!"

With a single slash, Shi Hao struck down the Immortal Palace successor, killing him instantly with a soft thud, his body lying on the ground.

"Boom!"

Outside the Immortal Ancient City, waves surged and rippled, and a bronze palace trembled, emanating a fury and killing intent like a volcano.

"No matter who is secretly helping Huang, you will surely die once the Immortal Ancient Realm opens!" A furious roar echoed from the Bronze Immortal Palace.
