My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 184 Immortals Attain Truth, Clashing in the Unseen Realm
Besides the divine bead called Heavenly Fortune, Ye Feifan naturally had other reliance on him. He was almost possessed, but because of the bead's "blood recognition of its master," Heavenly Fortune remained with him, causing the immortal soul that wanted to possess him to fail for the first time, despite a success rate as high as 98%.

Upon realizing that its attempt to possess the body had failed, the immortal soul, being extraordinary, decisively and resolutely formed a symbiotic oath with this mortal.

The Coexistence Oath, while a common form of vow, is also a powerful supernatural ability.

Because if one can cultivate to its peak, one can possess supernatural abilities comparable to those of a true immortal, even without attaining true immortality! That is, the level of transcendental divine power. (I mentioned true immortality's combat strength once before; this is just to reinforce the point, so I won't repeat it here.)
And this immortal soul has just cultivated to this level!
Therefore, once this method was successfully implemented, the trust level between this immortal soul and Ye Feifan was immediately maximized. In the time that followed, this immortal soul acted as if it were Ye Feifan's master.

For example, Ye Feifan's method of achieving the external appearance was passed down by this immortal soul, and it was his specialty!
However, this is also the root cause of its current predicament.

This method originates from a major immortal sect in the Azure Dragon Continent of Zhixuan Heaven—the Ancestral Master Mountain!
Baizushi Mountain, as its name suggests, is a celestial sect primarily focused on worshipping the ancestral master and engaging in cultivation. Furthermore, the cultivation methods employed by this sect are exceptionally advanced.

The ancestor worshipped at the Ancestral Master Mountain is actually a near-Taoist deity.

However, even the Baizushi Mountain itself was unaware of this matter; only the Near-Dao Celestial Venerable in the Immortal Extreme Cave and his close associates knew about it.

The immortal soul that taught Ye Feifan this method was originally an immortal in the Ancestral Master Mountain. The path she had taken before was the cultivation path of "taking refuge in the Ancestral Master, paying homage and worship, maintaining the spirit with incense, harmonizing the Qi lineage, protecting the Dao and returning to the true self, and serving the Ancestral Master"!

This cultivation path still follows the Three External and External Attainment Dao Immortal Path system, only it has been given a special name.

However, there is some truth to this name.

Because this immortal sect's cultivation method, once cultivated to the end, will inevitably lead to a breakthrough to the attainment stage, thus allowing one to follow that near-Dao Celestial Venerable.

The reason this immortal soul is in such a predicament is not because she committed any wrongdoings, but because she modified the cultivation method of worshipping the ancestral master mountain, changing from worshipping the ancestor to worshipping herself!
If one were to change their cultivation method and place it in another immortal sect, perhaps no one would care, and they might even consider it an innovation, opening up an additional branch.

After all, this person was, in any case, a venerable immortal.

Even if a celestial being's strength is ordinary, they still possess the most basic privileges within the celestial sects of Azure Dragon Continent.

However, this is at the ancestral mountain!

Therefore, this is the greatest sin!
To put it bluntly, this is tantamount to rebelling against one's own ancestor!

Then, she was hunted down by the people who worshipped the ancestral master mountain.

However, after she changed her cultivation method, her strength increased exponentially, so she lived a carefree life for several decades until she attracted the attention of an immortal who had reached the True Realm!

In the end, she was beaten to the point of being completely destroyed, barely managing to escape with a remnant of her soul.

Speaking of this, no one would believe that the True Immortal at the Ancestral Master Mountain didn't hold back. However, this immortal soul didn't believe it; she insisted that her own self-created method was superior!
Now, this immortal soul has become one of Ye Feifan's cheat codes. Hearing Bai Chijing's words, while Ye Feifan felt a slight disdain, she directly scoffed, "Who is this kid? What arrogance! He dares to mention his name to an immortal! He's only at the Upper External Realm!"

This immortal who worshipped the ancestral master mountain, although she had some skills, did not have a powerful background or strength. In addition, she had been hunted down in her early years and lost contact with other immortals. Therefore, she was completely unaware of the matter of "Primordial Immortal Bai Chijing".

For the past century, the name "Primordial Immortal" has always circulated within the Immortal Extreme Cave and has never appeared in the four continents of Azure Dragon Continent.

At most, she knew that there was an extraordinary immortal stone on a ancestral dragon vein in Qinglong Continent.

As for how much she knew about that immortal stone, she had no right to know.

Even back then, she wasn't qualified to get close to that immortal stone. Just glimpsing it from afar would make her eyes feel swollen, and her immortal soul would experience a slight tearing sensation.

"Sister Zhu, this one is quite extraordinary!" Although he agreed with the assessment of this immortal soul in his heart, Ye Feifan responded in this way.

"Hmm? What you say makes some sense. After all, this fellow's sermon was indeed remarkable. Just half a sermon was enough to give you a breakthrough opportunity. But then again, it's also because you have good talent. Otherwise, why don't others have breakthroughs?" This immortal soul didn't have a good impression of Bai Chijing. After labeling Bai Chijing as arrogant and ignorant, it naturally disliked him.

……

At this moment, as Ye Feifan continued to converse with that immortal soul, a strange light appeared in Bai Chijing's eyes. It wasn't that he knew the content of their conversation, but rather that he discovered that another mental image had been born within Ye Feifan's body.

The implications of such a situation are self-evident.

Bai Chijing misjudged Zhou Shuyue once before, so he naturally wouldn't do it again this time, but he didn't care much. Because right now, there were only two important things for him.

The first is to continue accumulating merit through education, while the second is how to create the third external tribulation.

Sometimes, having too few enemies can be troublesome.

If the enmity isn't strong enough, even if you forcibly kill the enemy, it won't fulfill your three external tribulations. Therefore, the person you need to deal with during your three external tribulations cannot be chosen randomly.

Given Bai Chijing's current strength, to become his third outer tribulation, one would need at least the strength of an immortal.

Just as Bai Chijing was pondering, a look of joy began to appear in his eyes.

Not only because his fierce gaze had increased by 1, but also because this gain meant he no longer needed to preach.

Today, you preached once more, accumulating some merit in teaching and guiding. This time, your sermon influenced the chosen one of this generation, causing him to break through to the initial stage of the Outer Manifestation Realm three years ahead of schedule. This indirectly shattered the shackles that had been placed on Heaven's destiny by several near-Dao immortals in ancient times, and thus, the changes in the world were fully unleashed.

[Search and gain a large amount of non-bishopricization merit +1]

As the words began to dissipate, Bai Chijing immediately sensed a large surge of educational power flowing towards him from the direction of Zhuque Continent.

The extent of their educational and edifying influence is simply unimaginable.

Because it seems endless!

With that, Bai Chijing's problem was solved. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and entered the light barrier emanating from the Primordial Array Ladder.

Naturally, although this treasure looks like a ladder, once you enter it, it's like entering a completely new world.

It was a series of ten closely connected grottoes.

Each grotto represents a concept of array formation that has been evolved to its extreme.

These ten concepts of array formations—the primordial chaos, the irrational realm, the two-faced knife, the chaotic man, the ungrateful, the swayed by the wind, the sin against Heaven, the sevenfold evil, the demon of chaotic fate, and the extreme curse—can be said to encompass nearly 90% of the array formation concepts in the world.

No wonder the array formations here possess extraordinary power and strength, reaching 50%. Once all the principles of array formations are fully understood, the array formations of Zhixuan Heaven will no longer hold any secrets.

"It's not just about the concept of array formations, but also contains the ultimate principles of the Heavenly Dao..." Bai Chijing's gaze fell upon it, and for a moment, he felt a sense of disorientation.

In that moment of daze, he saw countless changes in events throughout history.

Because God is chasing after her to feed her.

After Bai Chijing received a large amount of unclaimed teachings, his desire for the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" and the Qi of the Array Dao, and to achieve an alternative immortal path closed loop through the medium, began to be realized by the Heavenly Emperor of Zhixuan.

But in that fleeting moment when he saw countless changes in the situation, Bai Chijing actually comprehended all ten array principles here.

Instantly, a surge of energy was bestowed upon Bai Chijing.

Originally, even a wisp of array formation luck, when bestowed upon a person, would cause unimaginable and astonishing changes.

But now, the fortune brought by the five-tenths of the array's energy has fallen on Bai Chijing, yet there is not a single unusual phenomenon.

It's like a stream flowing into the ocean.

Although there might be some movement, it would only be a little. After all, Bai Chijing's fortune not only supports him to directly ascend to the rank of a near-immortal, but also helps him to form a powerful fighting force after ascending to the rank.

Bai Chijing raised his hand and summoned the ten grotto-heavens, which transformed into a string of beads that landed in his palm.

Once this string of beads, formed from the grotto, was completed, a constant power appeared within it.

And so it became a constant and precious treasure!
Then, Bai Chijing stepped out of the Primordial Array Ladder. As he stepped out, the ladder-shaped treasure transformed into a series of steps that were neither gold nor stone, neither wood nor iron, neither jade nor copper, amidst countless streams of light. These steps continued to wind upwards, seemingly without end.

However, although these steps seem endless, the person at the very top is always Bai Chijing.

He looked down.

At this moment, although he had not yet become an immortal, an indescribable divine aura emanated from his body.

This is because the Immortal Path closed loop was formed.

But most importantly, the "Ten Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" and the array formation of the Five-Five Heavens are both too extraordinary.

These two things are things that should only exist in the realm of shortcuts.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone, whether inside Yuntang Pass, in the Xuanxian Dynasty camp, or even Ye Feifan, the chosen one of this generation, was greatly shocked.

"What...what exactly is going on?" Ye Feifan was extremely shocked because he could sense that a predetermined destiny had entered Bai Chijing's body through the bead called Heavenly Fortune. However, he never imagined that this predetermined destiny would make Bai Chijing's aura so terrifying and astonishing.

That sense of sacredness made him unable to even muster the thought of looking up at it.

All I want to do is kneel on the ground and worship endlessly!
"Sister Zhu, my cultivation technique is out of control..." Ye Feifan was terrified. The external cultivation technique he practiced was passed down by the immortal soul within him, which valued self-esteem. However, this sense of self-esteem was now being quietly dismantled.

No matter how he circulated his internal energy, he couldn't stop it!

It was as if a supreme being had been born here, and even his cultivation method, which did not involve the other party, was considered a desecration.

"What exactly is Bai Chijing's background?" At this moment, the immortal soul was also shocked, because only a remnant soul remained, so she could no longer see Bai Chijing's fortune.

However, the strange phenomenon surrounding Bai Chijing instantly made her realize something.

After all, even the immortals at the True Realm within the Ancestral Master Mountain could not display such a sacred aspect!
At this moment, none of the people present at Yuntang Pass knew what was going on, but the spectators hidden in the shadows and the prefect of Yuntang Pass were very clear about why.

This is—a Heavenly Venerable Who is Born Close to the Dao!
They already knew this, but seeing it now still stirred up a great deal of emotion within them. They could even feel a vague sense of joy emanating from the heavens.

If it weren't for the fact that the heavens above, who are aware of the mysteries of the universe, lack self-awareness, an incredible phenomenon of universal celebration would likely have occurred at this time.

"I will pass on another technique to you..." At this moment, the immortal soul within Ye Feifan, amidst her shock, transmitted the original technique of worshipping the ancestral master mountain to Ye Feifan.

"Paying homage to the patriarch?" Ye Feifan was exceptionally intelligent. After taking away some of the predetermined fortune with the power of heavenly fortune, his talent was already quite remarkable. In addition, the external appearance method he cultivated also originated from the cultivation method of this patriarch mountain. Therefore, Ye Feifan entered the door in no time.

With the help of the illusory image of the ancestor formed within his body, Ye Feifan's uncontrolled internal cultivation technique gradually calmed down.

However, this also directly exposed Ye Feifan.

Those far away on Mount Baizushi learned directly that the immortal soul not only showed no remorse but was also recklessly spreading its teachings. The cultivation methods of Mount Baizushi are not to be taught casually; even the immortals on the mountain must first complete the incense-burning and heaven-inviting ceremony before they can pass on their teachings.

"Where is she right now?" A powerful immortal on the Ancestral Master Mountain asked in a cold voice.

This was an immortal who had reached the True Realm. He was originally in seclusion, but upon learning of this matter, he naturally emerged from seclusion immediately. It was he who had intervened last time, but out of consideration for his old friend, he spared the other party's life and did not kill him outright, hoping to make the other party repent. However, the other party did not appreciate the gesture at all.

"Reporting to Uncle-Master, Ji Yunzhu is near Yuntang Pass." Another immortal from Baizushi Mountain replied. Ji Yunzhu was the name of that immortal soul, which is why Ye Feifan called that immortal soul "Sister Zhu".

"Yuntang Pass?"

Upon hearing this, the murderous intent that had been building up between the brows of the True Immortal instantly dissipated. He then shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully, "Never mind, never mind. These two are lucky to be alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chijing's promise to save Ye Feifan's life was instantly nullified.

A promise from an immortal reveals its divine power.

Bai Chijing is not currently an immortal, but he possesses an immortal soul. Therefore, the promises made by Bai Chijing will form corresponding causal lines in the unseen world. The true immortal who visited the Ancestral Master Mountain sensed this causal line beforehand and chose to let Ye Feifan and that immortal soul go.
