My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 176 I'm a reborn Immortal King, right?

"Am I not a reincarnation of a Celestial King?" Bai Chijing sighed to himself, for the pure energy that emerged from the tainted Celestial Stone was none other than his own.

Having learned of Xuan Tian's passing for a hundred years, he certainly wouldn't be completely ignorant of everything.

Although his original cultivation, which had brought him close to becoming an immortal, was transformed into the foundation for that primordial immortal power, after entering this world, he himself was born with an extremely terrifying fortune!

The sheer strength of this person's luck was something Bai Chijing had never heard of or seen before, because it had already reached the point where luck was directly interfering with reality!
Previously, the reason why he did not suffer the backlash of his luck when facing that group of spirit monkeys, as well as the prefect and soldiers of Yuntang Pass, was simply because the ones who plotted against him were actually several near-immortals!

This was something Bai Chijing had already known from the unseen realm, thanks to his own luck.

That's why he was born ahead of schedule.

After all, being targeted by several near-immortals means that even if he escapes this calamity for now, there will be other tribulations in the future.

To be born with the cultivation level of "attainment of proof", he would need to spend at least ten thousand years in that ancestral dragon vein, receiving nourishment from the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers.

And after his birth, he will experience a deep and direct bond with heaven and earth.

Therefore, after thinking it over repeatedly, Bai Chijing simply took advantage of the other party's scheme and was born ahead of schedule!

Although this would inevitably cause him to lose his extremely formidable foundation, as long as he retains his luck, it won't be long before he can cultivate to the stage of attaining enlightenment.

After all, he hadn't turned it off yet.

Moreover, what he wanted wasn't a foothold, but simply to have his ceiling broken.

Bai Chijing, who still had some leisure to daydream, calmed himself down and took a deep breath.

This is a breath of foul air.

It contains the filth of heaven and earth, the vulgarity of the mortal world, and the filth of the spiritual energy.

This kind of turbid energy is something that other cultivators in the Heavenly Realm avoid like the plague, because the first step to attaining immortality is to cleanse the body of this turbid energy.

These are all impurities that living beings inevitably encounter in the process of survival.

However, as Bai Chijing actively inhaled this turbid air, his originally illusory human body began to grow flesh and tendons. When two hundred and six bones were born at the same time, Bai Chijing was considered to have truly recovered his human body!
Then, Bai Chijing slowly exhaled.

It was still that same stale breath.

As this breath, containing all the turbid energy of heaven and earth, was exhaled, Bai Chijing's body, which originally had no cultivation, actually began to develop cultivation.

With just one breath, one has already entered the realm of external things.

This was a realm that Bai Chijing, a newcomer to the area, desperately sought after after encountering cultivation, but now it was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

He acquired such cultivation simply by imitating the breathing of a living being.

Because at this moment, Bai Chijing's talent for cultivation had reached the level he had always dreamed of.

Tao body!

This is not a modified version of the Dao Body like Su Chengwu's, but a complete and flawless Dao Body!
Furthermore, based on this innate talent, Bai Chijing's soul, under the influence of that immense fortune, was condensed into an immortal soul at a very early stage.

In the Yao Tian Realm, Tai'a attained immortality in just over a year during that great mythological era. And now, in this Zhi Xuan Heaven, Bai Chijing only needs a few months to achieve immortality.

It has nothing to do with the grand scheme of things; it's simply because Bai Chijing's own fortune is too immense.

After all, this is a kind of luck that even the number one Ling Jia would marvel at.

However, the good thing of breaking through two levels in one breath cannot be repeated. Next, Bai Chijing will need to cultivate hard for a full hour before he can successfully cultivate to the perfection of the External Realm!

The initial stage of the Outer Appearance realm requires several days of effort to achieve.

It was quite an achievement.

Because we need to find the Qi of Gang Sha.

"However, the Qi I need doesn't have to be too good; ordinary Qi will suffice," Bai Chijing pondered. Others who reach this stage need to find superior or rare Qi and Sha Qi to refine in order to go further on their future cultivation path.

But he is different!
His minimum requirement in this life is to reach the realm of enlightenment. The influence of a few elemental forces is utterly insignificant to him. Even if something is missing, his immortal soul is more than enough to make up for it.

This is the mystery of the immortal soul.

This is what Bai Chijing thought, and this is what she did.

So, about an hour later, Bai Chijing appeared in the Xuanxiu Division of Da Xuan and had already obtained the status of a third-level Xuanxiu.

There is only one mortal dynasty in Qinglong Continent, named Xuan, or simply Da Xuan, and officially called the Xuanxian Dynasty.

The Xuanxiu Division is a special institution established by the Xuanxiu Dynasty to consolidate its rule, specifically targeting cultivators. Regardless of whether one is a citizen of the Great Xuan Dynasty, as long as one is willing to work and possesses cultivation, even someone at the initial stage of the External Realm can apply to work in the Xuanxiu Division.

The official term for those who cultivate within the Xuanxiu Division is Xuanxiu.

Furthermore, Da Xuan specifically created a nine-tiered system for Xuan cultivators, referencing the nine-rank system for court officials. However, unlike the nine-rank system where the first rank is the highest, this Xuan cultivator system uses the ninth tier as the highest, with the first tier merely the foundation.

First-level Xuan cultivator, initial stage of external phenomena.

Ninth-level Xuan Cultivation, the highest realm of the outer world.

When Bai Chijing entered, he displayed the cultivation level of the Upper Realm of External Things. Naturally, the Xuanxiu Division of the Great Xuan granted him the status of a third-level Xuanxiu.

Well, when he came to this Xuanxiu Division on his way, he cultivated diligently while traveling, and then he broke through.

“Bai Xuanxiu, this is a mixture of dust and evil energy and a mixture of spiritual energy,” a man dressed as an official of the Xuanxian Dynasty said to Bai Chijing.

The Xuanxiu Division of the Great Xuan provides a portion of Gangsha Qi free of charge to every third-tier Xuanxiu who has cultivated to the Upper Realm of External Things. Of course, the Sha Qi provided is only Dust Sha, and the Gang Qi is only Spirit Gang.

These two types of fierce and malevolent energies are the most common and easiest to condense in the Heavenly Realm.

If it weren't for the requirement of initial stage of external appearance cultivation to condense this energy, obtaining this Qi of fierce energy could be said to have no threshold whatsoever.

Therefore, although the Xuanxiu Division appeared very generous, cultivators with even a little bit of knowledge and background all thought that the amount of evil energy given by the Xuanxiu Division was too weak. Even if it delayed their own cultivation, they would not absorb and refine this evil energy and spiritual energy.

However, Bai Chijing did not mind.

Because as long as he possesses this vital energy, he will reach the initial stage of the Outer Appearance realm in two hours.

"Thank you very much, Steward Chen." Bai Chijing said with a smile.

The person who delivered this Qi of Fiends to him was an official of the Great Profound Realm. Although he was only at the middle stage of the External Realm, his rank was not low, ranking among the fifth grade, which could be considered a high-ranking official.

"Well, it's my duty, no need for thanks," said Manager Chen.

Whether it was because of Bai Chijing's good attitude or because he was influenced by Bai Chijing's terrifying aura, Manager Chen, after finishing his polite words, took the initiative to continue, "Bai Xuanxiu, you are still young, so please consider this my presumption! Although this amount of Qi of Fiends is sufficient, if you have the means, it would be better for you to find another one. Alternatively, you could accumulate more merits and wait a while, because in three years at most, the Qi of Fiends and Qi of Fiends will be ready for extraction and condensation."

If we were to rank the Qi of the Heavenly Mystery, then even in the Azure Dragon Continent, both the Yuan Sha Qi and Yuan Gang Qi would be among the top 100 Qi of the Heavenly Mystery!

As for the free Dust Qi and Spirit Qi, the former is ranked outside the top three thousand, and the latter is ranked outside the top one thousand.

The figure of three thousand is a figurative number.

There are countless types of malevolent energy in this world. This is because powerful immortals, or through fortuitous encounters, can create entirely new types of malevolent energy.

The creation stage of Bai Chijing after being struck by the heavens is a good example of this.

After all, if we only talk about the cultivation of the "three outer" stages, there is no distinction between Yaotian in the human world and Zhixuantian.

If we had to categorize it further, then it would be that in the Outer Realm and Outer Aspect Realm of the Heavenly Mystery, supernatural abilities and techniques are even more diverse. They even rely on rare and precious materials such as spiritual fire, strange fire, true fire, heavy water, and true water to derive all sorts of incredibly incredible supernatural methods. This is something that has never happened before in the mortal realm of Yaotian.

"Thank you for the reminder, Steward Chen. Although this evil energy is quite ordinary, I was born with the roots of an immortal, so a little bit of evil energy has little effect on me," Bai Chijing said in a serious but seemingly casual manner.

In this Heaven of Knowledge and Mystery, the "immortal root" that Bai Chijing spoke of refers to the innate talent for cultivating the Dao.

The essence is the same, only the wording is different.

"What! A fairy root?" Upon hearing this, Manager Chen, who had only meant well by offering a reminder, suddenly changed his expression and, disregarding everything else, took out a precious jade.

Without hesitation, he immediately activated it.

As Steward Chen activated the precious jade in his hand, a burst of light emanated from it.

As this radiance reflected on the White Pool, a remarkable immortal figure appeared directly around it. The immortal's face and general form were obscured; a single glance was enough to induce a subtle sense of enlightenment.

This is the origin of the saying about the root of the immortal.

"Bai Xuanxiu, you really do have the roots of an immortal!" It wouldn't be an exaggeration for Manager Chen to say that he had seen a ghost.

Because this is truly terrifying.

In the past, those with such talent would either directly become disciples of some immortal, join some major immortal cultivation sect, or be taken in by a family in the Xuanxian Dynasty. It would be impossible for them to appear in the Xuanxiu Division.

After all, although the Xuanxiu Division is the official government agency of the Great Xuan Dynasty, to put it bluntly, isn't it just the court's lackeys? Although it can attract such outstanding talents with its generous rewards, those outstanding talents are all obedient to orders but not to summons, and once they enter the Xuanxiu Division, they will be in high positions.

Unexpectedly, this time he actually encountered a person with a cactus root.

Moreover, this person's cultivation level is only at the External Realm!
"Bai Xuanxiu, please wait a moment while you refine this Gang Sha Qi. I will report this to the higher authorities immediately. Within three days at most, a Gang Sha Qi of at least the Yuan Gang and Yuan Sha level will be delivered to you!" Manager Chen said somewhat hurriedly, and then he rushed off to report the matter to the higher authorities.

Upon seeing this, Bai Chijing waved goodbye to Manager Chen.

Then, unmoved, he swallowed the portion of Qi of Fiends that the Xuanxiu Division had given him for free. He didn't refine it first, but relied on the immortal soul in his body to forcibly absorb it.

The refining process was extremely fast, but Bai Chijing needed to carefully consider what external form he would cultivate this time, so it would take about two hours in total.

Bai Chijing had two experiences of refining his external form. The first was the Ten Thousand Swords Form, and the second was the Heart Form. The former saved time in finding the Qi of Gang Sha, while the latter was an achievement that immediately revealed his unparalleled sharpness.

A moment later, Bai Chijing began to refine his external appearance.

It looks like a large seal.

This large seal is none other than the "Seal of No Seed" in Bai Chijing's hands. He brought the Seal of No Seed with him when he came to this world, and it resides within his immortal soul.

However, he was unable to use this item at the moment, so Bai Chijing decided to take a shortcut.

Use external appearances to trigger this deadly weapon that slays immortals.

In this way, even if Bai Chijing couldn't use it, he could still forcibly borrow a trace of its power. After all, Bai Chijing had already refined this weapon that slays immortals.

He can't use it now, not because he's not qualified, but because his internal cultivation level doesn't allow it.

It didn't take much effort for Bai Chijing to complete his new appearance. And when this appearance was completed, three small mountain phantoms unexpectedly appeared.

Bai Chijing was naturally familiar with this method, which he created by chance years ago, and then unexpectedly refined the "Seal of No Seed" using it.

It is the mountain of life, the mountain of wealth, and the mountain of planning for one's descendants.

These three mountains can suppress all those in the world who have not transcended the mundane!

At that moment, Bai Chijing sensed that many people were heading towards his residence in the Xuanxiu Division. So he concealed his appearance and, without hiding his cultivation level, walked straight out.

With his good fortune, as long as this world remains intact, he will certainly not be in danger.

Even those who are close to the Dao only dare to scheme in secret, using various reasonable reasons, and even relying on the power of mortals, but dare not take direct action at all.

Among the group that arrived at this moment was Steward Chen, who had obviously been the one to report to the Xuanxian Dynasty, which then sent people over.

Upon seeing Bai Chijing and his undisguised aura, the group's faces immediately darkened.

It's normal for someone with the cultivation of immortal roots to break through to the external manifestation realm.

After all, the stronger one's talent, the faster one can refine and master the Qi of Fiends. This is especially true for Dust Qi and Spiritual Qi, which have already been refined once.

However, in the eyes of this group of people, breaking through to the initial stage of the Outer Appearance Realm with such fierce energy was a complete waste of their talent.

"Bai Xuanxiu, you've broken through?" Manager Chen's voice was shrill, and because of the great emotional fluctuations, it had turned into a eunuch's voice.

"Thanks to the powerful Qi of the Xuanxiu Division, I was able to save a lot of time." Bai Chijing nodded with a smile. After all, without the Xuanxiu Division of the Great Xuan, it would have taken him several days.

Now, only one day after his birth, he has already cultivated to the initial stage of the Outer Appearance Realm. It seems that in at most half a month, he will be able to consider the Outer Heaven Realm.

This is the true value of "Rebirth of an Immortal King"!
However, Manager Chen was not happy at all upon hearing this. As a manager of the Xuanxiu Division with a mid-level external cultivation, holding a fifth-rank official position in the imperial court, he naturally came from a family with profound learning and possessed extraordinary knowledge. Therefore, seeing someone wasting their talent in this way, Manager Chen simply fell backward.

She fainted from anger.

The rest of the group who had come because of Steward Chen exchanged bewildered glances. This group actually came from several different factions, originally vying for the title of this "wild" immortal with innate talent, but now they had to seriously reconsider whether they should continue competing.

After all, if they were to snatch it away this time, it would be tantamount to turning against Da Xuan. And this "wild" immortal root talent clearly has limited potential.

"What do you gentlemen think?" This was a man from the Xuanxian Dynasty, who had come because of the report from Steward Chen. He was now smiling as he looked at the people beside him.

"It should belong to the Xuanxiu Division." This was said by someone from a celestial sect, speaking in a slightly sarcastic tone.

Originally, they could have obtained a quasi-immortal, but now they can only obtain one person at most from the outer realm.

Moreover, it is an outer realm with an unstable foundation.

So they simply couldn't be bothered to argue anymore.

However, seeing that the Xuanxian Dynasty had gained such a talented person, they were naturally not happy about it.

“Yes, such a frog in a well is quite suitable to stay in the Xuanxiu Division.” Someone spoke up and became the first to speak, and the others naturally followed suit in mocking him.

The person from the Xuanxian Dynasty didn't react to this; he just laughed it off.

After all, to be precise, he wasn't the one being ridiculed.

Furthermore, these forces are all very powerful, which is why the Xuanxian Dynasty has long been wary of them. However, neither side can do anything about the other, and due to some complex situations in the court, the current delicate situation of working together has been formed.

However, the people of the Xuanxian Dynasty didn't react much, which displeased Bai Chijing.

Is this a mockery of the Xuanxian Dynasty?
This is an insult directed at him!

And the insults were incredibly vulgar!
He was timid and submissive in the Immortal Realm and the Trapped World. If he is still timid and submissive in this Heaven of Knowledge, then what is the point of his trip? Furthermore, if he continues to be so timid and submissive, how can he live up to the immense fortune that even near-Dao Immortals dare not directly target?

Therefore, Bai Chijing took action without saying a word.

Behind him, four illusory mountains appeared, one small and three large. Then, three completely different powers directly struck the souls of the group. Their physical bodies could only mitigate the impact slightly before they were all sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

For a moment, among those present, only Manager Chen, who had fainted from anger, remained unharmed.

The rest of the people were all seriously injured.
