My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 215 The True Source of the Suspected World Beauty
The Otherworld is the abode of Banhu. However, it is not the only place where Banhu exists. Moreover, besides those near-Dao immortals and those who have cultivated to the point of being in a realm beyond the mortal world, there is actually a fourth type of immortal.

Around this fourth type of immortal, various working organizations were formed in this outer heaven.

From afar, one could see buildings perched atop floating rocks: the Zhuxian Zhaoshi Academy, the Fufan Jianshi Academy, the Zhongzheng Tiandao Academy, and the Future Zhenxian Academy...

Each building on the floating rock represents an organization.

These buildings look no different from ordinary buildings on the outside, but their interiors are undoubtedly their own world, completely self-contained.

At this time, immortals from the fourth category of outer heavens continuously emerged from these buildings.

“Fellow Daoist, these are all mortals with superior innate qualities who have passed the Ninefold Immortal Trial and thus gained the qualifications for advancement.” The three near-Dao Immortals who brought Bai Chijing over said this to Bai Chijing.

Bai Chijing nodded slightly in response.

However, the subtle emotion in his eyes did not diminish as a result. After all, the origins of these immortals were not the source of his unease.

However, despite the other party speaking, Bai Chijing did not learn a single thing about the Ninefold Immortal Trial.

It is likely that Banhu left behind some means to directly suppress the omniscient abilities of near-Dao immortals under the influence of cause and effect.

So he asked, "Fellow Daoists, I have a question that I do not understand. I would be grateful if you could enlighten me."

Upon hearing Bai Chijing's words, the three near-Dao Immortals exchanged glances and then laughed in unison. One of them then asked, "Does the Primordial Celestial Venerable wish to inquire about the Ninefold Immortal Trial?"

“Exactly.” Bai Chijing nodded.

"This special selection mechanism was initiated by Venerable Yihuang Banhu and then established after gaining the approval of several other Venerable Banhus," one of the female near-Dao Immortals explained to Bai Chijing upon hearing this.

It turns out that this nine-level immortal test is not recognized by all the beings of the outer heavens, but in fact, it is not important, so there is no need to offend a being of the outer heavens.

"Then what is the purpose of setting up this immortal test?" Bai Chijing couldn't help but ask a question that seemed like a rhetorical one.

“Naturally, it is to select mortals with superior innate qualities.” Although the three near-Dao Immortals were surprised by the way the Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke, unlike when they first met, the Primordial Celestial Venerable had now shown them extraordinary talent. Therefore, the three near-Dao Immortals could not help but feel a little respect for Bai Chijing.

Because they all knew that a Banhu spot was about to be created in the Heaven of Mystery, and these three near-Dao Immortals, who did not know how Banhu was created, subconsciously believed that the owner of this Banhu spot would be determined by aptitude and strength.

Therefore, these three near-Dao immortals all believed that Baichi Jing would become the new Banhu!

At this moment, Bai Chijing couldn't help but look at the fourth type of immortal from another realm again because of the answers from these three people.

It wasn't that he looked down on this fourth type of immortal.

But... what exactly is the process by which this so-called superior innate talent is tested?

Because in Bai Chijing's eyes, he saw that female immortals made up more than 70% of the staff in these organizations. However, those who needed to exert the most physical strength were all male immortals.

For example, in this other world, there are some suspended rocks.

These suspended rocks pose no threat to immortals like Bai Chijing, who are close to the Dao, or to immortals who have cultivated to a realm beyond the mortal world by following the Great Luo Immortal Path. They are not even worth paying attention to.

However, for the fourth type of immortals who have passed the ninefold immortal test, these suspended rocks pose a greater threat.

Even a single one, as small as a speck of dust, can pose a huge threat and could even directly destroy buildings built on floating rocks.

Therefore, cleaning and preventing these suspended stones is something that this fourth type of immortal must do at all times.

This naturally led to the creation of several different jobs.

The job titles for these different positions don't need much attention, since they're just names.

What Bai Chijing needed to pay attention to was that the people doing these arduous tasks were a small portion of the male cultivators.

This inexplicably reminded Bai Chijing of the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm was created by a certain young girl, but could it be that the special peak structure of the Immortal Realm was inspired by this otherworldly realm back then?
After all, that little girl is particularly good at piecing things together from various sources.

So, could this be the origin of Se-mi-seon?

"As mentioned in Yi Huang Banhu Zun, the selection method is too biased, as it only selects immortals who have cultivated to a level beyond the mortal realm. Especially for female cultivators, the path of cultivation is too difficult, and they should be given preferential treatment." At this moment, one of the male Heavenly Venerables among the three near-Dao Immortals noticed what Bai Chijing was puzzled about and took the initiative to speak up.

Although this doesn't provide a direct explanation, it does clarify the reason for this strange structure.

"Yi Huang Banhu, is she a female ruler?" Bai Chijing understood the other party's meaning and couldn't help but ask.

However, none of the three near-Dao Immortals dared to answer upon hearing this. Even the two female near-Dao Immortals dared not take up the topic.

After all, this topic could easily be misunderstood by a monk.

Bai Chijing didn't care about that, otherwise he wouldn't have asked directly. However, through the reactions of these three, he understood that he hadn't guessed wrong. But... is this Yi Huang Banhu truly the true source of Shi Mei Xian?
Bai Chijing still had some doubts about this.

Just as he was pondering this, Bai Chijing suddenly sensed some force attempting to influence him. This force did not immediately descend, because it was his future self who sensed it.

This is another ingenious use of condensing a future body.

Anything that involves oneself, whether it be good or bad, even if it is a single being named Banhu, cannot escape one's perception.

And so, "the oldest brain in Zhixuan Heaven" instantly sprang to life!
Bai Chijing's power underwent a qualitative change in an instant. He seemed to infinitely elevate his own status, and that feeling of transforming into chaos once again filled Bai Chijing's body.

Then, he moved.

With a single handprint, it shattered the protective layer of that power, and then, following that power, found its true source and struck it directly with a palm.

This palm strike contained the concentrated power of Heaven's killing intent.

The power of destiny intertwines into chains, using the future as a guide, directly pulling apart the opponent's Banhu position.

A scream of agony echoed throughout the entire Otherworld.

At this moment, an indescribable and terrifying aura permeated the entire Otherworld, for this world had a premonition that a Banhu was about to perish.

However, at that moment, two voices pleading for mercy rang out one after the other.

"Primordial Celestial Venerable, please show mercy!"

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you are the reincarnation of the Primordial Immortal Power, and I am the reincarnation of the Primordial Immortal Power. Please forgive Fellow Daoist Yi Huang this time, out of consideration for our past relationship."

The two forces originating from Banhu temporarily alleviated the suppression of that Banhu position by the power of destiny, allowing it to successfully return to its rightful place.

However, this was also because Bai Chijing stopped in time.

He wasn't confident enough to face three Banhus together, and besides, although his attack seemed overwhelming, he was already running out of steam.

Even without these two intervening, Bai Chijing could only temporarily suppress his opponent.

Then kill this Yi Huang Banhu once.

With that withered figure as an example before, it's unlikely that Yi Huang Banhu would make a similar mistake. Therefore, Yi Huang Banhu will return very soon.

In other words, while these two's actions seemed to be helping Yi Huang Banhu, they were actually helping Bai Chijing.

Then Bai Chijing understood why the little girl was so comfortable letting him come over.

It turns out there were two Banhu here, and they were on his side.

Bai Chijing understood this, and Yi Huang Banhu, who had successfully recovered, also understood it, after all, what was Tai Su Banhu saying?
They're practically ready to openly trample on Yi Huang Banhu.

Then, a clear, cold female voice resounded throughout this otherworldly realm: "There's no need to trouble you two fellow Daoists with this matter! Bai Chijing! You're quite something! You dared to speak ill of the Venerable One, and I haven't even punished you yet, but you dare to make the first move?"

"So it was Yi Huang Banhu. I thought it was some unknown nobody. As the saying goes, ignorance is no excuse. How about we just drop this matter?"

Bai Chijing responded with a smile, seemingly not intending to offend anyone.

However, even as he responded in this way, most of his attention was now focused on the "Guide to the Future".

The key to his ability to directly overpower a Banhu being was the three percent of the Future Guidance he had previously controlled through the Fierce-Eyed Banhu and the Unending Eyes.

When the power of Heavenly Fortune reaches a certain level, it can be transformed into chains to suppress the power of Banhu, a fact that Bai Chijing already knew.

However, this chain of fate could not fall upon Banhu.

Because the position of Banhu is too unsolvable.

However, just now, Bai Chijing, using the future as a guide, successfully struck the Heavenly Fortune Chain onto Yi Huang Banhu's position, causing the latter to perish.

Although the other party did not perish in a different way like the Moon-Backed Gourd, never to return, this single fall still demonstrates the terrifying nature of the Guiding Force of the Future.

After all, this only represents three percent of the control.

"The future guide obtained from this Dao should still be in the oldest brain of Zhixuan Heaven..." Bai Chijing thought of this and his heart was greatly moved.

Because in that instant, he finally realized that this guide to the future involved the power of the equivalent of Banhu!
Moreover, this power is clearly superior to that of Banhu.

It felt a bit like a fake meeting the real deal.
