Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 507 Knowing one’s heart and one’s nature

Qingyi was stunned by what she heard. She was speechless at Lin Fan's idea. That was the bone of a true dragon, unparalleled in the world!

Although it has lost its most precious essence of flesh and blood, the dragon bone is indestructible and, after polishing, can be refined into a supreme treasure.

The legendary Dragon Bone Mirror, capable of illuminating both the heavens and the netherworld, is said to be invincible and was forged from the bones of a true dragon.

"What a glutton!" Qingyi muttered to herself, then looked into the distance.

There was a woman there, as if carved from white jade, with flawless, white skin that shone with a lustrous glow, so beautiful it was unbelievable.

In addition, she has an extremely graceful figure with undulating curves and long blue hair that falls to her waist.

Without a doubt, she was an extremely beautiful woman, possessing a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers, truly a national beauty!

However, her clothes had long since rotted away, leaving only the armor covering her prominent breasts and other vital areas.

"Dark Immortal Gold!" Qingyi exclaimed in surprise, her breathing becoming rapid.

The armor was actually cast from rare celestial gold, its surface shimmering with dark light, thus remaining imperishable even after countless years.

However, it has cracks on it, as if it had been through a major battle and suffered a heavy blow, rather than being caused by the erosion of time.

"It's hard to imagine what a great battle must have taken place back then, that even the sturdy and indestructible immortal gold was damaged." Qingyi was shocked by what she saw.

Clearly, if it weren't for the Dark Immortal Golden Armor protecting the woman's chest, she would have been pierced through.

Based on her intuition, Qingyi knew that this woman with skin as white as jade had existed for a very long time and possessed an ancient air.

"She is a true celestial being!" Qingyi judged.

For a moment, she was very unsettled, her heart filled with turmoil. A beautiful and incomparable immortal had still fallen.

Upon closer inspection, one can see a bright red mark between her eyebrows, indicating that she had been pierced and killed, her soul severed.

Therefore, her body is well preserved and still looks lifelike, full of vitality.

If you don't look closely, you might think she's still alive, just lying there asleep.

"Heavens! A piece of dragon bone, a female immortal—what kind of place is this? Why is there such a sight?!" Qingyi exclaimed in bewilderment.

This is a very eerie scene. The combination of these elements is frightening, makes one's heart pound, and makes one think too much.

Did the dragon break a piece of its bone here because it was severed by its enemy during a great battle?

A fairy, a beauty that could topple kingdoms, with unparalleled elegance, now lies lying at the bottom of the lake, alongside the dragon bones, an indescribable eeriness!
"What exactly happened back then? Was Zhenlong her enemy, destined to perish together, or was she an ally, both killed by the enemy?"

Qingyi was lost in thought, but she could not make any judgments about the past.

At this moment, even Lin Fan, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was deeply moved and shocked.

"The ancient times, even the most glorious era, have eventually passed and become the past!" Lin Fan sighed.

No matter how powerful a true dragon or an immortal is, they will still have enemies. Without becoming an emperor and transcending worldly limitations, they will eventually perish.

"When that day comes again, and the tragedy of the ancient times is repeated, where will we be?"

Qingyi sighed, thinking, what's the point of becoming an immortal? You still die. Who can be immortal? Who can be eternal?
"Stop sighing, hurry up and cultivate. The future begins now. Even if that day comes, your husband will still be there to protect you!" Lin Fan said.

He discovered that the stunning beauty was exuding vital energy, which was spreading outwards in wisps and strands, and absorbing it would be very beneficial.

In particular, for those who take that step, the aura of immortality is like a nourishing elixir, which can strengthen their immortal energy.

“But I… want to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, not be a burden,” Qingyi whispered, her cheeks flushed.

Although she knew it would be difficult, and catching up with this pervert was almost impossible, she still wanted to do something instead of just accepting it.

Lin Fan, with his keen senses, naturally heard it and laughed, "Then I'll trouble Fairy Qing to take me flying in the future, so I can also experience what it's like to be taken care of." "You're just making fun of me." Qingyi blushed and glared at him angrily.

"I'm serious, I'm asking for a wife to take care of me!" Lin Fan joked.

Qingyi didn't want to talk to this guy anymore. He was always so irresponsible, casually mentioning that he was a gigolo, and acting all heroic and invincible.
……

Soon, the two entered a meditative state. Lin Fan stopped protecting Qingyi and let her bear the impact of the evil energy in the lake.

Over time, even a true god would not be able to withstand it, and their physical body would crack. Not to mention Qingyi, who only possesses divine fire, she would definitely be injured.

However, at this time, she would absorb the immortal energy emanating from the female corpse to nourish her whole body and heal her wounds.

Through this repeated process, she underwent a transformation, not only becoming more physically robust but also receiving nourishment from her immortal energy.

This is equivalent to tempering oneself, preparing for the tribulation to be overcome and to cultivate the third immortal energy.

In fact, Lin Fan was also cultivating. Although the evil energy in the lake water could not affect him, it could affect the field near the female immortal.

"boom!"

A terrifying wave emanated, and when Lin Fan approached within five or six zhang, an inexplicable force would blast him away, cracking his physical body.

This power came suddenly, surrounding the woman and forming a field, as if protecting her beautiful body.

Even if this female immortal dies, she remains sacred and inviolable, and no one is allowed to desecrate her.

In fact, it was not a protective force, but rather an autonomous action of the immortal laws within a true immortal's body.

Even the most supreme being in the human realm experiences this after death; even a sect leader would find it difficult to approach, let alone an immortal.

"With this further consolidation, I will break through to the Realm of Severing Myself!" Lin Fan murmured, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he lingered within the field.

He could have entered the next realm much earlier, but he was delayed in order to save Qingyi, so he has waited until now.

However, it doesn't matter. If we can use the field of the immortal corpse to make further progress and improve ourselves, that would be a good thing.

……

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lin Fan was still some distance away from truly touching the female immortal, but that step was an insurmountable chasm that the sect leader could not cross.

Otherwise, forcibly entering the center of the field would not be a tempering process, but a death sentence; one would be crushed into bloody mud by the laws of immortality.

"That's enough. The foundation is solid; it's time for a breakthrough!"

Lin Fan's eyes gleamed; his current goal was not to touch a corpse.

"boom!"

In an instant, it was as if a shackle had been broken within him, and a powerful force erupted, causing his aura to rise rapidly.

As can be seen, Lin Fan was neither happy nor sad, having entered a state of enlightenment, with the vision of stars rising and falling in his eyes, terrifying and horrifying.

At this moment, his whole body glowed, and he naturally advanced to the Realm of Self-Slaying. His cultivation level increased dramatically, far surpassing that of before.

"What does it mean to sever oneself? Is it to cut off the shackles of the self, or to sever obsessions?" Lin Fan murmured to himself, lost in thought and confusion.

Because this state is different from others, it allows one to see one's true nature and eliminate certain things in order to truly solidify one's position.

Therefore, he sought enlightenment there, contemplating whether to break free from the shackles of the physical body, the entanglements of the spirit, or the obsessions in his heart.

For a moment, he hesitated, feeling very conflicted.
