Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 623 We're scared!
The Yin-Yang Cross Forbidden Zone.

Lin Fan brought up the old matter again, telling them that someone from the Immortal Realm had come with an invitation, initially arrogant but later becoming obsequious, inviting him to attend the grand event.

“Something’s not right here. You have no connection with the Panwang lineage, so why would they invite you to the Peach Banquet?” the Lord of the Forbidden Zone analyzed.

"That's what I think too. I feel there's a conspiracy involved, possibly related to Liu Shen's enemies," Lin Fan judged.

Most importantly, he has no connection with the people of the Immortal Realm, and doesn't even know a single one of them. How could he possibly invite them out of the blue?

Without a doubt, it's some old scoundrel who's up to no good and is plotting against him.

“In that case, there’s no need to participate.” The crystal skull’s jaw opened and closed, flames flickering in its eye sockets.

“No, I think I can participate, but not me…” Lin Fan said, glancing at his younger brother beside him.

"Me?" Shi Hao was stunned, not understanding.

Furthermore, his expression was extremely strange, as if he were saying: Brother Xiao Fan, why are you pushing me into the fire again?
We're scared!
"Great chaos is imminent. I alone cannot handle it. Hao'er, you must grow up quickly!" Lin Fan said earnestly.

Shi Hao: I have no way to refute this!
"How about this, I'll go with you on this journey." Even the Lord of the Forbidden Zone said this.

Now, Shi Hao was even more confused. So they were just playing me? Besides, I hadn't even agreed yet, and you'd already made the decision?
In fact, Lin Fan was originally worried that his change would cause him to miss Shi Hao's entry into the Ancient Land, but now his wish has come true.

"Returning to this place, let's see if we can settle some karmic debts and bestow upon you a great fortune," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone said again.

This is astonishing; his cause and effect must be extraordinary, involving a level that is certainly related to an unparalleled immortal king.

But... now that he only has half a snow-white skull left, does he still have the imposing presence he once had?

"Besides that, we'll also go to protect you; that would be safer," said the crystal skull on the altar.

It immediately understood from the golden hand bone and the blood-dripping eyeball that Lin Fan had awakened them for this very reason.

Shi Hao was surprised that several old monsters with great backgrounds wanted to accompany him, which left him somewhat bewildered.

Lin Fan did know a little about what the cause and effect was, but he didn't ask too many questions, as long as the goal was achieved.

In addition, to be on the safe side, Shi Hao was also asked to bring two items: the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and half a stick of incense.

The latter, named Boundary Annihilation, is quite powerful. It's not the incense itself, but its magical effect that provides coordinates for the creatures of the Boundary Sea.

Once lit, beings from countless eras ago might leap out and storm into the realm where the incense burns.

Of course, this incense did not belong to Lin Fan; it was obtained by Meng Tianzheng and others on the border of the Great Crimson Sky when he dreamt of returning to the Fallen Emperor.

"With this incense stick, there won't be any problems." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone was shocked, even more so than when he saw a Celestial King artifact.

Afterwards, they talked about a few more things and waited for the right opportunity.

……

A hundred years have passed just like that, very quickly. For cultivators with profound cultivation, it's just a matter of going into seclusion.

However, for ordinary people, a lifetime is long enough to experience birth, adulthood, aging, and death.

In this world, most living beings are like this, with varying lifespans. If they don't become immortals, they will eventually turn into dust.

"Boom!"

On this day, a loud bang was heard, and the gate to the Immortal Realm opened a crack. Sure enough, someone descended to the mortal realm as scheduled to guide them.

However, this time the visitors were not arrogant and unruly, and they were not true immortals, but several juniors at the Supreme Realm.

"Looks like they're scared and don't dare to come..." Lin Fan chuckled, looking at the respectful group of people who had come to request an audience.

“Holy Emperor, my father had an emergency and specially ordered us to come in his place to guide you into the Immortal Sect,” said a purple-haired youth.

It was obvious that the other person was a father and son with the same hair color and somewhat similar appearance. However, the next moment, when they learned that the person going to the Immortal Realm was not Lin Fan, their faces instantly fell, and they were extremely embarrassed.

It should be noted that the important figures in the Immortal Realm specifically requested Dao Xin, not a mere Daoist cultivator named Huang.

"What, can't I have him attend the banquet in my place?" Lin Fan's eyes widened, emanating a wisp of immortal light.

"boom!"

In an instant, the men were drenched in cold sweat, trembling uncontrollably, and knelt down, trembling with fear.

At this moment, they finally understood why the true immortal hadn't come before, but instead sent a few of them to guide them.

"Father, how could you treat your son like this?" the purple-haired youth cried out in his heart, feeling utterly devastated.

In the end, after Lin Fan reasoned with them, the group was persuaded and, with long faces, had no choice but to set off with Shi Hao.

"Not bad, you're more sensible than your elders. I won't make things difficult for you." Lin Fan smiled and watched them leave.

With this matter settled, he could now focus on his attempt to break through to the Immortal King realm.

Over the years, he has remained a mortal immortal, his cultivation has hardly progressed, as if he has reached a plateau, with no further ups and downs.

"Reaching the realm of immortality is truly like stepping into an insurmountable chasm!" Lin Fan sighed softly.

No wonder that sometimes, even a single Immortal King might not be born in a great realm or an entire era. Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand how difficult it is.

Of course, Lin Fan is confident that with time and experience, he will eventually enter that realm and become an invincible Immortal King!

But will others give him that much time?

Not to mention anything far away, there are three old scoundrels in the Immortal Realm who are eyeing him: Ao Sheng, Tai Shi, and Yuan Chu, none of whom are not formidable enemies.

Therefore, he was worried. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken to find a way to quickly soar into the sky.

Otherwise, when a formidable enemy comes knocking, he will certainly not have the chance to become an Immortal King, and will be mercilessly killed!

Even so, some things cannot be rushed. For over a thousand years, Lin Fan has always been just one final leap away from a breakthrough.

However, he knew that his own cultivation was not without benefit; he could experience subtle changes, though they were not obvious.

In addition, he was waiting, abandoning all the laws and precious techniques, only cultivating his own great path and forging his own way.

Perhaps it could be said that he absorbed all the peerless techniques such as the True Phoenix, Kunpeng, Qilin, and Willow God, turning them into nourishment for his own Dao.

In the end, even the supreme heavenly techniques such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Immortal Scripture, and the Original True Understanding were integrated into his own system.

By learning from others' strengths and making up for his own weaknesses, he truly forged his own path and his own way, making it difficult to see the shadow of others anymore.

"Have I reached the pinnacle of immortality?" Lin Fan asked himself, then shook his head.

He remembered that above the nine incarnations of the Immortal of the Mortal World, there was a tenth incarnation, which both Shi Hao and Chu Feng had achieved.

As for Ye Fan, he didn't know.

The tenth generation is extremely special, reaching the pinnacle of immortality and possessing the combat power of an immortal king.

However, it is difficult to live out this life, because the ninth incarnation is already immortal and has infinite vitality, unlike the previous ones.

"Some conventional methods are unlikely to be effective."

Lin Fan pondered deeply, preparing for the transformation and the ultimate leap!
Although he knew it would be difficult, even more dangerous than a near-death experience, he had no other choice but to push himself.

"Having severed ties with the mortal world, I will never again embark on this path of no return!"
