I, the Chaos Being, joined the chat group at the start.

The Great Way Chat Group.

Ye Qingxian: "Master Xu, you're completely alive now!"

Xu Yi: "What kind of talk is that? He's never died."

Wudang King Ye: "Congratulations to Boss Xu Yi on his triumphant return!"

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "Add one!"

Fairy Yunxiao: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xu Yi, on taking another step forward!"

Stone Monkey: "Hehehe, add one, add one!"

Ye Qingxian: "Master Xu, you've already performed the Dao sacrifice. With your strength, you're invincible among those of the same realm. Why don't you come here and wipe out all the life forms of the High Primordial Realm?"

Although Ye Qingxian is at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, she cannot change the predicament of the trio. Under the pressure of the strange race, the entire Heavenly Court is retreating step by step!

If Ye Qingxian hadn't become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, relieving some of the pressure, the three ancestors and the Heavenly Court would probably still be hiding and living in constant fear.

The trio was incredibly strong, invincible at their level, and could even take on three or four opponents of the same rank simultaneously. However, the number of powerful members of the Mysterious Clan was far greater than that of the Heavenly Court.

Xu Yi: "It's possible, but it's difficult to completely end the plateau until the final step. Furthermore, if I intervene, it might change the trajectory of your world and affect the process of your grandfather and the others' transcendence!"

Ye Qingxian: "The trajectory of the world has already changed, and by the time the plateau is truly brought to an end, who knows how many billions of years will have passed since Chu Feng's time."

Chu Feng: "Fairy Ye, if the plateau had been resolved in your time, then I wouldn't have had a chance."

Ye Qingxian: "Yes!"

Chu Feng: "Uh... alright! Very well, if I can protect and save all the worlds, I might as well not be the Heavenly Emperor."

Lingjian Sect's Wang Wu: "Haha, that's Chu Feng from Ye Qingxian's world, not you!"

Chu Feng: "It's all the same, it's all the same."

Black Emperor: "I am already a quasi-Immortal Emperor. My niece, Qingxian, and your Uncle Dog, come and help me too."

Ye Qingxian: "??? Uncle Dog, you actually became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor? How is that possible?"

Black Emperor: "What's impossible? Once Master exerts his strength, it's a piece of cake."

Didou Saintess: "I'm so envious. Sigh, I really don't want to cultivate."

My favorite drink is animal milk: "Dog meat at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level must be delicious."

Black Emperor: "...No, how come what you said is exactly the same as Ye Hei's? Why do you keep thinking about my physical body?"

Ye Qingxian: "There's nothing I can do, Uncle Dog, what can I do? You're everyone's reserve food."

Imperial Saintess: "Hahaha!"

My favorite drink is animal milk: "Stewed dog meat, stewed dog meat!"

The Heaven-Mending Saintess: "!!!"

Fang Yuan: "??!!"

Chen Nan: "To be honest, I haven't eaten dog meat in a long time, and I really miss it."

Black Emperor: "!?"

Stone Monkey: "Speaking of dog meat, I, Old Sun, am reminded of Erlang Shen Yang Jian's Howling Celestial Dog. After I, Old Sun, cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal and leave the mountain, I will definitely stew Howling Celestial Dog. That guy bit me hard back then."

Sun Wukong possessed an indestructible body, impervious to water, fire, swords, and spears, but even though he wasn't physically harmed when bitten by the Celestial Hound, he still felt pain.

Black Emperor: "Howling Celestial Dog? Male or female?"

Stone Monkey: "??"

……

Meanwhile, in the world of Xian Ni, in the mortal realm of the Zhao Kingdom...

Wang Lin began his journey to becoming a mortal, while simultaneously comprehending his own spiritual realm, so that he could truly enter the Divine Transformation stage.

Otherwise, even if one enters the Nascent Soul stage through pills or other means, one will still be among the weakest Nascent Soul cultivators, further lowering one's potential.

The most important thing about becoming a mortal is to shed one's identity as a cultivator and not to use magical power.

It's not that it can't be used at all. Only by not using magic power to achieve the effect of transcending the mundane can it be considered a true transcendence, allowing for a deeper understanding.

When Wang Lin was about to become a mortal, Li Muwan stayed by his side.

As they spent more and more time together, their feelings for each other deepened. Li Muwan knew that Wang Lin had become a mortal, so she also gave up her magic powers and transformed into a mortal woman to stay by his side.

At this time, Wang Lin was no longer a powerful cultivator with profound magical abilities in the Demon Sea, but merely a carpenter on a humble street in the Zhao Kingdom, specializing in carving.

The State of Zhao was Wang Lin's hometown, and his clan leader was also there, becoming one of the most powerful families. Some members of the Wang family even entered the royal family and married into the royal family, so perhaps the future royal family of Zhao would be surnamed Wang.

However, Wang Lin did not tell anyone. He simply disguised himself as a carpenter and focused on carving, depicting all his experiences from the past two hundred years in a lifelike manner.

Li Muwan shed her fairy-like aura and cooked for Wang Lin every day. Although her life was simple, it was much better than the treacherous world of cultivation. At least she was with the person she loved.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed in the mortal realm.

Because he didn't deliberately use his magic to maintain his appearance, Wang Lin had a few more strands of white hair on his forehead, but he had completely integrated into the mortal world and seemed to have forgotten that he was a cultivator.

Ten years later, Wang Lin and Li Muwan got married, but they kept their marriage very low-key.

On his wedding day, Wang Lin brought his parents, but did not invite anyone else. He did not want too many people to know that he had transformed himself into an ordinary person here.

When Wang Lin's parents met Li Muwan, they accepted her as their daughter-in-law in an instant.

However, what worries Wang Lin's parents is that Tie Zhu and Wan'er have been married for ten years but have not had a child. The two old people are extremely anxious.

Fortunately, they also knew that Wang Lin and Li Muwan were both cultivators.

How could a cultivator give birth to several children at once like a mortal? It must be difficult for immortals to have children.

Anyway, they all have elixirs that prolong life, and they will definitely see them when their time comes.

Ten years of peace is precious, but peace is always bound to be broken eventually.

On this day, Wang Lin went to the street to buy vegetables. Although he was in the mortal world, there were actually quite a few cultivators, most of whom were hidden among the mortals.

Along the way, Wang Lin noticed several Core Formation stage cultivators eating in restaurants like ordinary people.

Seeing this scene, he gained a new insight: true seclusion lies in the city, while lesser seclusion lies in the countryside.

"Actually, there are many cultivators in this world. Cultivators do not only fight and kill each other. Many cultivators do not cultivate for the sake of the Great Dao and immortality."

"Some cultivators, once they have reached a certain level of cultivation, will hide themselves and live in the mortal realm," Situ Nan said from the Heavenly Reversal Pearl.

“Wouldn’t that disrupt the rules of the world? Cultivators are people with extraordinary powers. If they don’t cause trouble, that’s fine, but once they have evil intentions, it will be a catastrophic disaster for ordinary people,” Wang Lin said.

Those who can transform into mortals like him are extremely rare. Those cultivators who hide among mortals are fine if they live a peaceful life, but if they have wicked intentions, ordinary mortals simply cannot resist them.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. That’s just how the world is. Immortals aren’t born that way; they all cultivate themselves. They all come from human form, and humans have emotions and desires. Back in the day, I was living the carefree life of an emperor in some small country, indulging in revelry every night!” Situ Nan said.

“…” Wang Lin.

"Young friend, you can't reach the Nascent Soul stage just by becoming a mortal. Since you seem to have a connection with me, I'll treat this old man to a meal and bestow upon you the fortune of becoming a Nascent Soul."

At that moment, a short, thin old man appeared in front of Wang Lin, seemingly out of nowhere.

……

Chapter 415 Vermilion Bird, the Realm of Life and Death

Wang Lin glanced at the old man in front of him. Although he looked extremely slovenly, there was no doubt that he was a cultivator, and his true cultivation level was still unclear.

"This old man is a cultivator who has reached the peak of cultivation, and he is close to the end of the first step! This is quite rare on this small Vermilion Bird Star."

Inside the Heavenly Rebellion Pearl, Situ Nan told Wang Lin about the old man's situation. He was originally the number one expert on Vermilion Bird Star, a being who had reached the Great Perfection realm. If he hadn't been besieged and killed by alien cultivators back then, he would definitely have surpassed the first step and entered the second step realm.

Situ Nan is exceptionally talented, but he is too lazy; otherwise, he could have reached an even higher level.

"Aim for the top." Wang Lin's expression was serious.

At this moment, even if he used all his trump cards and was possessed by Situ Nan, he would still be no match for this old man. The two were two major realms apart, and it would be difficult for them to cross this chasm!

Unless he can recall the ancient god clone that is cultivating in the Luo Feng plane, whose strength has already surpassed the original body's Nascent Soul stage after merging with a hundred drops of ancient god essence blood and devouring the power of stars, progressing at a rapid pace.

That's how the path of the ancient gods is: without resources, the cultivation speed is extremely slow, and it's very difficult to grow.

If one has a uniquely advantageous cultivation environment and resources, then cultivation efficiency will naturally be extremely fast.

Wang Lin then remained calm and said, "Old man, why should I trust you?"

Seeing this, the old man laughed and said, "Judging from your extraordinary attire, you must be quite wealthy. Even if you have a meal, it won't be a big deal. But the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul cultivator is priceless."

"Okay." Wang Lin nodded.

Then, Wang Lin took the old man to a restaurant. The old man didn't stand on ceremony and ordered the most expensive dishes and drinks. He ate with gusto, his mouth greasy and his mouth full.

Wang Lin just watched quietly. The old man was surprised. Why was this young man so calm? Wasn't he curious about the opportunity to become a Nascent Soul cultivator? How could he sit still like that?

"Young man, why don't you ask?" the old man said, licking the oil off his fingers.

“If you want to say it, you will definitely say it,” Wang Lin replied calmly.

“Alright, to achieve the Divine Transformation, one must possess one’s own realm of understanding. Your ability to transcend the mortal realm is already quite remarkable, demonstrating your character. However, without this realm of understanding, achieving the Divine Transformation is impossible,” the old man said.

After listening, Wang Lin remained calm. This was the opportunity to transform into a Nascent Soul cultivator. Situ Nan had already mentioned the matter of artistic conception.

After the old man finished speaking, he noticed that Wang Lin was not surprised at all, as if he had known the meaning all along.
