My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 226 Has she forgotten someone who is very important to her?
Bai Chijing seemed to see rows of the finest leeks, which unconsciously made his gaze become complicated. Then, he looked up at the sky.

This was the third time he had looked at it so intently.

The first time was because of an instinctive feeling upon arriving, and the second time was because of the phrase "Please follow the world."

However, Bai Chijing wasn't criticizing or mocking anything; he was simply lost in thought. Because at this moment, he seemed to understand why the Heavenly Dao of Banhu kept "creating" Banhu's existence.

That is, the "fake Banhu" that was conveyed to him by the fierce-eyed Banhu and the unseemly, eyeless Banhu.

If the phrase "Please follow the world" is actually an invitation to the Heavenly Dao of the Banhu Realm, then everything makes sense.

This kind of "fake Banhu" is formed by a near-Taoist immortal allowing Banhu's status to cover his own.

Therefore, these "false Banhu" can all be regarded as part of the Banhu Heavenly Dao!

Tail off for survival!

Unconsciously, this thought popped into Bai Chijing's mind.

After all, what difference is there between Banhu's actions and common life-saving measures such as a gecko cutting off its tail, a crab removing its claws, a starfish discarding its entrails, and a sea cucumber spitting out its entrails?

With this thought in mind, Bai Chijing finally understood why there were so many "fake Banhu" here.

Furthermore, the number of honorary titles will be limited to at least seven each time.

The purpose of these "false Banhu" is merely to ensure the safety of the Banhu Heavenly Dao during the "Please Follow the World" event. Furthermore, the "false Banhu" of the Venerable One simply facilitates the Banhu Heavenly Dao's recovery through "eating," compensating for the losses incurred in "creating" these "false Banhu."

A mature world is undoubtedly a great tonic, but a mature world is not easy to obtain. In addition, it requires a certain number of near-Dao immortals as a foundation. That is why the "fake Banhu" needs to constantly create new worlds, and when the Banhu Realm does not appear in the world, a large number of near-Dao immortals will enter the Banhu Realm.

On the contrary, when the Banhu Realm appears, a very small number of near-Dao immortals will be able to enter the Banhu Realm through the Path of Creation.

Before the appearance of the Banhu Realm, the immortals who were able to enter were actually there to provide the Heavenly Venerable's source, which is the "fundamental fortune"; but after its appearance, these immortals who were able to enter were all "false Banhu" preparations!
The former refers to human resources, while the latter refers to talent!

However, having understood these true secrets of the world, Bai Chijing felt no unease whatsoever. Although the fierce-eyed Banhu and the unseeing-eyes hadn't urged him on, Bai Chijing's future path could be said to be already predetermined.

Either it will be like the Primordial Immortal Power in his hand that can take form, or it will completely fulfill the wish of this fierce-eyed Banhu, allowing a true being of the same level as Banhu's Heavenly Dao to appear in this world!
Now, Bai Chijing has made her choice.

He chose the latter.

In other words, he made this fierce-eyed gourd come to fruition.

Once, the arrival of this fierce-eyed gourd made him who he was. It transformed him from a pathetic figure who could only reach the initial stage of the external realm and was a laughing stock in the cultivation world into an existence that even "fake gourds" fear.

So now, why can't he also grant this fierce-eyed gourd his wish?

However, although he had made his choice, Bai Chijing did not act on it immediately because he still had some unfinished business.

He began searching for traces of several Banhu.

First was Yi Huang Banhu, whom Bai Chijing killed with a single finger strike. After the "Please Follow the World" incident, Bai Chijing's strength inexplicably improved to an unprecedented level.

Or perhaps, after he chose to help the fierce-eyed gourd, he finally reached a realm that he had never been able to reach before.

Previously, Bai Chijing had been transforming himself into a gourd.

The real Banhu.

And now, he is almost at the final half-step towards success.

However, Bai Chijing was also very clear that he could never take that final step. Not only would the Heavenly Dao of Banhu not allow it, but neither would the fierce-eyed Banhu.

After all, if he were to step over it, what would be the point of this fierce-eyed gourd's existence?
Even if Bai Chijing couldn't take that final half-step, his current strength was enough to easily kill these "fake Banhu".

What used to be the most troublesome Banhu position for Bai Chijing is now nothing but a formality in his eyes.

And those forces that once held him back are now powerless to stop Bai Chijing.

It can be said that in this world of Banhu, without the appearance of the Banhu Heavenly Dao, Bai Chijing is already invincible in every sense. And at this point in time, it is impossible for the Banhu Heavenly Dao to appear.

Because the phrase "Please follow the world" is to be played seven times.

And so far, it has only been played five times.

Bai Chijing only learned of this information from the depths of his being after the phrase "Please follow the world" had been sung for the fifth time. It seemed that at that instant, he and the source of "Please follow the world" in the sky had formed a certain degree of causal connection.

Therefore, there are still two more instances of the urge to "follow the times" that are about to be heard.

Before these final two appearances of "Please follow the world," the Heavenly Dao of Banhu will inevitably disappear. And this period will be Bai Chijing's final time.

He wants to do everything he can and wants to do during this period of time.

After killing Yi Huang Banhu, Bai Chijing went to find the next one.

Unfortunately, the third "fake Banhu" who surrounded and killed him had already "followed the world." And the one who followed Banhu, Bai Chijing was also unable to find him, seemingly having also "followed the world."

Fortunately, just when Bai Chijing was feeling somewhat disappointed, he encountered the moon-shaped gourd.

Bai Chijing didn't give this old acquaintance a chance to speak, directly pressing a finger against his brow. The body of the Moon-Backed Gourd was not damaged, but its Gourd status, near-Dao Venerable position, as well as its soul and cultivation, were all reduced to nothing by this one finger.

If the corpse of this crescent-shaped gourd were to be passed down, it would undoubtedly cause a great terror.

Because this corpse originated from a "fake Banhu," and an extremely ancient one at that, its ancient charm is beyond doubt.

This corpse was so powerful that even a rare treasure could hardly destroy it. So what kind of person could kill such a being?

If some half-true, half-false information were added, then Bai Chijing might become a legend about some ancient and eerie source.

Thus, Bai Chijing's journey to find Banhu came to an end.

Then, he took what he had prepared and went to where the little girl was.

After Ling Jia reappeared in the Banhu Realm, she naturally came to this world immediately. Then, instead of transforming into a building, the little girl turned into a lifeless stone and carefully hid herself away.

Clearly, this little girl seems to know something.

Bai Chijing's arrival undoubtedly brought the little girl immense joy. Without reverting to her human form, she simply asked telepathically, "You've come too?"

Then she added, “Although now is the easiest time to become a Banhu, you should still not come into contact with those Banhu positions. Continue to walk on the path of cultivation that is the closest to the truth.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing knew that the little girl could no longer sense the changes in his aura. At this moment, he had truly surpassed the little girl's cultivation level.

So he asked, "Do you have any other enemies?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ling Jia asked curiously, and without any hesitation, immediately gave Bai Chijing a list.

There were over a thousand people on the list. And at the top of the list was none other than Banhu Tiandao.

Bai Chijing couldn't help but give the little girl, who had turned into a stone, a strange look before sitting down on it and saying in a low voice, "You're giving me a little too much credit."

"Get up right now!" Ling Jia immediately said, clearly displeased.

"So this stone was transformed from you?" Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing feigned an apologetic expression.

Then, without waiting for the little girl to answer, or even before she opened her mouth and uttered a string of profanities, Bai Chijing continued, "If I can help you get rid of the people on this list, then I will take care of them all for you."

"Oh, then I wish you all the best." Ling Jia said rather coldly, because Bai Chijing hadn't gotten up yet, and she had already added Banhu Tiandao to this list of enemies, yet Bai Chijing still said such a thing, which made her feel that this rebellious son was playing her for a fool!

"Then I'll take your kind words."

After Bai Chijing finished speaking, he left. However, as he left, a treasure resembling a seal appeared out of thin air and then transformed into the shape of a mountain, covering the stone that the little girl had turned into.

This little girl is quite good at hiding her abilities, but her cultivation level is ultimately too low. She can deceive the first five "Please Follow the World" events, but she will undoubtedly not be able to deceive the sixth and seventh "Please Follow the World" events that are bound to occur next.

Bai Chijing couldn't actually help her hide it either, but he could now restore the little girl's near-Dao body!

He could no longer continue on the path of cultivation leading to near-immortality.

However, this little girl is capable!

Let her take my place and try to walk this path of cultivation to its end, so she can see the glory of the peak of cultivation!

Bai Chijing began searching for the gourds on the list.

Without a doubt, only one of them is the true Banhu, that is, the Banhu Heavenly Dao. The rest of the Banhu beings are merely "false Banhu" who rely on the Banhu's status, and are extensions of the power of the Banhu Heavenly Dao.

Every time Bai Chijing found a "fake gourd," the opponent was like the gourd facing away from the moon, easily killed by Bai Chijing with a single finger.

During this time, Bai Chijing also encountered the Kunpeng Immortal Lord from the Primordial Chaos.

This person had by then become a "fake Banhu".

Originally, the newly promoted Banhu being, Kunpeng Immortal Lord, was overjoyed at having successfully obtained the Banhu rank, until he saw Bai Chijing casually kill a Banhu being who was older than him.

This caused the newly ascended Banhu to not only appear dazed but also to reveal extreme panic.

Did he encounter this peerless demon of the Banhu Realm as soon as he entered it?

Kunpeng Immortal Lord was utterly shocked.

Upon seeing this person, Bai Chijing smiled and nodded as a greeting. After all, this was one of the few acquaintances he still had.

Then, Bai Chijing continued searching for those "fake Banhu" according to the list.

Behind him came the respectful voice of the newly promoted Immortal Lord Banhu Kunpeng: "Junior Kunpeng respectfully sees off Senior!"

Bai Chijing did not respond.

After all, he had important things to do.

In the end, apart from the true Banhu, Banhu Tiandao, and some "fake Banhu" that Bai Chijing identified as having flown into the sky during the first five "Please Follow the World" events, Bai Chijing searched for all the Banhu on this list.

Currently, there are not many ancient Banhu left in this Banhu realm; most are newly ascended Banhu beings. Without exception, all of these newly ascended Banhu have witnessed Bai Chijing's actions, which has caused them considerable fear.

After all, those ancient gourds all seemed to be stronger than them.

Even among the "false Banhu" beings, there are differences in strength, with the core being their "path of enlightenment." Ancient Banhu beings had all attained more than twenty-five stages of enlightenment, while newly ascended Banhu beings all began with just one stage of enlightenment.

This is a fabricated system created by the Heavenly Dao of that so-called Huhu.

This can be considered as giving hope to those "fake Banhu".

The existence of this system is undoubtedly feasible. If one can ultimately achieve 100% mastery of the Dao, it can rival the Heavenly Dao of Banhu, or even replace it.

However, there is no doubt that such a state of perfect enlightenment is impossible to achieve.

Around thirty years old is considered the limit for reaching enlightenment.

Because at this point, the voice of "Please follow the world" will begin to appear. The appearance of this voice actually has a fixed time period, which is exactly the time required for a newly promoted Banhu to cultivate from the first stage of the Dao to the twenty-fifth stage.

Among them, the large-scale actions taken by Banhu will lead to the early appearance of this "please follow the world" voice!

This is why, after the gourd-like creature on the other side of the moon revived, it immediately fled after making its first move and sought a place to hide.

If Bai Chijing hadn't come knocking, the ancient Banhu, Beiyue Banhu, would likely have been able to escape this ordeal and continue to display his power.

Having fulfilled most of the little girl's wishes, Bai Chijing then began to let the fierce-eyed gourd devour him.

The path he cultivated began to dissolve.

The methods he practiced began to disappear.

The once-existing "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" has vanished without a trace. However, this Heavenly Dao Immortal Explanation is still practiced by other cultivators, so a subtle fluctuation reached the heart of First Ling Jia.

"Little Xiao..."

The little girl recited it subconsciously.

However, she was stunned as soon as she said this, because in her knowledge, there had never been such a person.

"Who is this...?"

"White...wait?"

Then, even Ling Jialian forgot her unique nickname, "Little Xiao".

So, the little girl looked bewildered.

Has she forgotten someone who is very important to her?

The reason for this is that Bai Chijing has completely given his body and soul to the fierce-eyed Banhu at this time, turning them into its supreme nourishment, allowing this fierce-eyed Banhu, which should have long since stepped into the ranks of true Banhu, to begin to display its supreme power.

However, at this moment, the sound that had disappeared for a while reappeared.

"Please follow the world!"

This was a voice that showed no emotional fluctuation, yet seemed to be full of feeling.
