My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 194 You won't blame your mother, will you?
The First Immortal did not hesitate to completely assimilate into the mortal world by erasing himself in an unconventional way. Then, in a non-dominant manner, he put forward the idea that high positions should not be determined by birth, which gained the recognition of all living beings and thus began to influence the heavens above the Mysterious Heaven.

This sword strike, which had been meticulously planned for a long time, was aimed directly at Bai Chijing.

After all, as a Primordial Immortal, he was merely descended to earth, yet he could make even near-Dao Immortals retreat simply by virtue of his destiny. He could be said to have been born into an extremely noble family in this world.

Throughout the world, no one can surpass the beauty of Baichi.

Therefore, this sword strike did indeed land directly on Bai Chijing. However, the power of this sword strike fell far short of the First Immortal's expectations.

After all... everything has to be traced back to its source.

What was the original meaning of Shiraichi Scenery?
Of course, he was not the supreme Primordial Immortal. At the beginning, he was just an unlucky young man who was stuck at the initial stage of external things, with mediocre talent and a bumpy life.

The man who was engaged was about to run away with someone else, and he himself was suffering from external pressure, so he had to find a way to free himself in order to preserve the last bit of face of his family.

Therefore, after this sword strike revealed Bai Chijing's true origins, Heaven merely diminished its favor towards him somewhat...

Even without the divine intervention that could affect all living beings, the favor bestowed upon Bai Chijing would gradually diminish.

Because the heavens are not impartial!

Moreover, Bai Chijing has now completed the task that Heaven required him to complete.

Although he hasn't yet launched a calamity targeting the near-Dao Celestial Venerables of Zhixuan Heaven, causing some to perish and relieving the pressure on Zhixuan Heaven, the perfection of the Immortal Qi cultivation path, especially the method that negates the previous Immortal Path, has directly dispelled all the pressure that Zhixuan Heaven previously had to bear.

Because at this moment, if those near-Dao Celestial Venerables of Zhixuan Heaven cannot establish their own lineage of Heavenly Fortune, then Zhixuan Heaven can expel these near-Dao Celestial Venerables at any time.

Although the departure of the Near-Dao Celestial Venerable from the Heaven of Knowledge and Profound Realm to the Land of Nothingness will not have a significant impact, it is still best for such a Near-Dao Celestial Venerable to stay if possible.

After all, they are not like the First Immortal. Once they leave Zhixuan Heaven, even if they are not affected by the drop in their realm, they will slowly lose their self-awareness once they encounter some unfavorable situations. In the end, they may even become an empty shell with only the power of the Dao remaining.

In times of hardship, those "replicable" shortcuts all come about in this way. By engaging in certain fixed activities, one gradually synchronizes oneself with these empty shells that possess the power of shortcuts, until the two eventually become one, indistinguishable from one another.

It is precisely because of this threat that, despite Mingchi Jing having stirred up such a huge "fuss" that directly endangered the fundamental interests of the near-Dao Heavenly Venerables of Zhixuan Heaven, so far these near-Dao Heavenly Venerables have remained completely silent.

This is naturally because those viewers who were previously hidden in the shadows are now busy switching to the cultivation path of immortal energy.

Those who could serve as Bai Chijing's audience were undoubtedly either near-Dao Celestial Venerables or had close relationships with them. And when those near-Dao Celestial Venerables began to change, these people would naturally follow suit, even if they had no idea why.

Moreover, the Celestial Venerable of the Near Dao would explain things to those close to him.

Therefore, at this moment, no one had the mind to continue watching Bai Chijing.

After all, a dramatic change is about to occur in the Heaven of Knowledge!
This news is currently being kept under wraps. Apart from the Celestial Venerable of the Near Dao and their close associates, not a single word has leaked out.

As times change, offerings are needed.

In the face of a great calamity of slaughter, it is often necessary for the person who will take the place of the calamity to die in order for the person to be completely freed from the calamity.

Therefore, the many immortals of Zhixuan Heaven have become the chosen offerings of the Heavenly Venerable of the Near Dao and his close associates.

……

After causing a major disturbance in the Zhixuan Heaven, Bai Chijing stopped making any big fuss and focused on absorbing the immortal energy within the tenth heaven to restore his cultivation.

Yes, recovery.

After Bai Chijing completed this task, he discovered that his previously vanished, otherworldly cultivation had actually reappeared.

Although Bai Chijing has decided to achieve enlightenment through this immortal cultivation path system and become the first near-Dao Celestial Venerable in this system, the response from this realm undoubtedly signifies a great thing.

That means Bai Chijing no longer needs to cultivate in the usual way!

Although the cultivation path of immortal energy he created does not have specific detailed divisions after attaining immortality, one still needs to break through step by step to reach the peak state and then condense one's energy to peer into the heavens.

Therefore, in just over half a year, Bai Chijing used the immortal energy that was constantly being generated in the tenth heaven to recover to his former peak state!
The part of the shortcut characteristic that was originally hidden in his immortal soul was also fully awakened, allowing Bai Chijing to begin condensing his energy without any hindrance.

His aura, which resembled the heavens, was gradually merging with Bai Chijing's as it was being refined.

It didn't take long; just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he completed his energy condensation.

After all, it's all his luck.

It was neither an externally acquired fortune nor an extra fortune born under certain circumstances, so this hurdle was effortless for Bai Chijing.

His journey forward has not yet ended, which means that Bai Chijing can proceed to the next stage of glimpsing the heavens if he so desires!
However, Bai Chijing stopped on his own initiative and first looked around thoughtfully.

He naturally didn't see anything.

However, Bai Chijing could sense that the feeling of being watched by someone, which he used to have, had completely disappeared in the past six months.

Bai Chijing knew perfectly well that this wasn't because his cultivation had greatly improved, allowing him to shield himself from the other party's prying eyes. Rather, it was because the other party had something important to attend to and couldn't spare the attention for him. As for what the other party was busy with, that was too "difficult" to guess, so Bai Chijing decided not to bother.

"Then we can get in touch with them."

Bai Chijing said.

Although he was unaware of the audience hiding in the shadows, Bai Chijing was still able to vaguely sense the shortcut characteristic within his immortal soul.

At first he wasn't sure, but gradually he determined the approximate range of the spy.

It could only be someone involved in the struggle for the Great Dao with him, and the mastermind behind the scenes who put forward five near-Dao immortals to challenge him.

Then, Bai Chijing called out the name "First Ling Jia" in his heart.

He quickly sensed something, and his mind immediately went to that place.

Then, Bai Chijing witnessed a very unexpected scene.

Because what he sensed was actually his blessed land.

That blessed land, resembling the figure of a young girl, lay there in the void. Though it contained little vegetation and rocks, it was filled with the radiant light of immortals.

Because they were all enlightened beings who had attained immortality.

However, these immortals were all in a deep slumber with their eyes closed. Time seemed to stand still within them!
To be precise, this blessed land is completely still!
"How is this going?"

Bai Chijing spoke, and his voice became the only sound in this blessed land.

He looked around, becoming more and more confused.

Because at this moment, his blessed land was still in perfect condition!
Although blessed lands can avert calamities and nurture the ultimate talents of cultivators, they are ultimately just blessed lands. Therefore, when the world is destroyed, the blessed lands that depend on this world will inevitably perish along with it.

Unless, something intervenes and protects this blessed land.

Bai Chijing thought for a moment, then called out, "First Ling Jia?"

However there was no response.

Bai Chijing naturally couldn't give up. The fact that he could sense and reach this place with his mind proved that the First Lingjia existed, so he continued to shout.

"Number One Ling Jia!"

"Junior sister?"

"That little girl?"

After trying several different ways of addressing her without receiving a response, Bai Chijing sighed and said helplessly, "Mother."

"What do you want?" A soft, clear voice immediately rang out from this world. This voice was different from the one from when Banhu was in her true form; it was the voice from when Bai Chijing first met this little girl.

"Why are you protecting this blessed land?" Bai Chijing asked, puzzled.

Those immortals from the mortal realm who ascended to his blessed land back then are all perfectly preserved in a state of time freeze. In one respect, this is enough to make some supreme beings from the dark forbidden zones green with envy.

"It's not me? I don't know either! Oh, right, who are you? Are you my son?" The clear and soft little voice continued to ring out, but her answer greatly surprised Bai Chijing.

Because he could sense that the little girl wasn't lying.

At this moment, Bai Chijing also saw the little girl, who was also in a state of time freeze, lying in the very center of his blessed land.

The aura emanating from her was naturally not that of the true form of Banhu from back then.

It's not even an immortal.

It was the level of cultivation she displayed when Bai Chijing first met her.

"You don't remember me?" Bai Chijing really wanted to know what had happened here after this little girl sent him away back then, that even a Banhu being seemed to have been reduced to his original form.

"Why should I remember you? Wait, no, it seems I should remember you, because when you called me 'Mom,' I subconsciously wanted to respond."

That soft, clear voice started as a righteous retort, a direct confrontation with a stranger, but gradually it turned into a muttering.

Hearing her words, Bai Chijing was naturally even more shocked.

Just then, a clear and soft little voice said, "So, you, you're my son, right? Even though Mommy forgot about you, you shouldn't blame Mommy, right?"
