Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Grandpa Gao and Lu Jin were old acquaintances and chatted happily. His granddaughter, Gao Yushan, was poised and elegant, with a beautiful but not gaudy appearance, bright eyes and white teeth. She served tea and water to the two distinguished guests.

"Senior Jiang, Grandpa Lu, please."

"it is good."

Lu Jin took the teacup and chatted with his old friend, saying, "Old Gao, your granddaughter is so well-behaved."

"Wow, Erzhuang has been sensible since he was a child. Speaking of which, I have to thank your senior brother Zhuge for making it to where it is today and giving me a new life."

Grandpa Gao sighed with emotion, saying that if Gao Yushan hadn't suffered an accident in her early years, she wouldn't have spent half her life lying in that small living coffin.

"Even when she was kidnapped, it was you who brought her back. This old man is... deeply grateful and will remember your kindness."

After saying that, the old man added a timely and witty remark:

"If your Lu family has any talented young men, Brother Lu, don't keep them hidden. Let these young people get to know each other; who knows, our two families might even be able to achieve something great."

"Oh? Old Gao, you've got some ulterior motives."

Lu Jin sipped her tea and casually remarked:

"Let the young people handle their own affairs. If they hit it off, then let them do what they want."

Just then, Jiang Mo suddenly remembered that Gao Yushan was a top-notch hacker. He looked at her and tentatively asked:

"Young lady, could you do me a favor?"

"Ah? Help?"

Gao Yushan was flattered and surprised, never expecting that this famous Xuanmen Master would need her help.

She quickly replied:

"Senior, you said it. As long as it can help you, I will do my best."

"Please check my devices to see if they are being monitored."

Jiang Mo recounted how he had been contacted by staff from the dark web some time ago, and then took out his tablet and phone from the storage pendant on his chest and handed them to her.

"They contacted you?"

Gao Yushan was puzzled: "Respecting user privacy is an unchanging rule of the dark web, but the Dina you mentioned may be a high-ranking dark web director. I have never heard of this person. I will look her up for you later."

"Okay, I'm sorry."

Jiang Mo expressed his gratitude, and his gentle and approachable manner immediately made Gao Yushan blush. Like a primary school student being praised and given high hopes by a teacher, she stammered:

"Don't worry, my work equipment is still inside."

"Please wait a moment while I go and process your phone and tablet. I'll also provide you with a firewall that I developed, which will make it virtually impossible for anyone to steal your private data."

At this point, the woman asked Grandpa Gao, "Grandpa, how much longer until you go to the mountains?"

"Soon. Once your third uncle comes back with the congratulatory gift, we can go. I reckon it'll be about half an hour, enough time for you to get ready."

Knowing his granddaughter's abilities, Grandpa Gao waved his hand indulgently: "Go on, but don't keep the Jiang family waiting too long, Shan'er."

"okay!!"

Gao Yushan ran off in a flash to find a computer. With her ability to modify radio waves, she couldn't just implant a firewall into a phone out of thin air; she needed a certain device or medium.

Jiang Mo waited patiently, and around nine o'clock, the result came: Gao Yushan returned with good news.

"Here you are, senior."

"I've checked your phone and tablet; there are no viruses. I've installed a small software program on them that virtually blanks your devices. It can defend against most international hacker attacks, and the data sent back is generated in a disordered manner."

"Finally, even if we can't prevent the most skilled hackers from intruding, we'll still send out a warning and delete all your data before your privacy is compromised. You... don't mind, right?"

Gao Yushan is quite humble. International hackers are becoming more and more powerful, and network technology is being updated and iterated rapidly every day. She never dares to be arrogant or underestimate those potential overseas opponents.

"I don't mind, you did a great job."

Jiang Mo put his phone and tablet into his pendant, took out a transparent crystal, which was a storage artifact that You Sha had made for the sect a long time ago. He called the woman over, gave her the item, and told her about its wonderful uses.

"Thank you for making this trip for the little gift."

"Thank you, senior. I'll accept your thanks without hesitation!"

Although it was a small matter, Gao Yushan did not hesitate to accept Jiang Mo's gratitude without hesitation. She bowed her head and accepted the gift with both hands.

She adored this magical artifact that could store objects; her eyes shone as she carefully touched it.

Seeing his granddaughter's adoring expression, Grandpa Gao beamed with joy, but couldn't help but mutter:

"Master Jiang, please excuse my rudeness. This girl is lively and sometimes just so carefree and lacks manners."

"It's fine, it's better to be straightforward and avoid unnecessary formalities."

Jiang Mo was quite impressed with the young girl's efficiency.

The group chatted happily, and before they knew it, it was ten o'clock. The elders of the Gao family who were in charge of the congratulatory gifts had already made arrangements, and three black cars were parked outside, ready to depart.

Jiang Mo, Lu Jin, and Gao Youming rode in the same car, heading out of the city under the moonlight, along the increasingly sparsely populated highway, towards the depths of the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Under the bright silver moon, amidst overlapping mountains, the cries of various wild animals rose and fell throughout the night, while pairs of bright eyes hid in the bushes.

At 11:30, Jiang Mo and others walked through the quiet forest.

Based on his past memories, Grandpa Gao carefully followed a mountain path, venturing deeper and deeper.

After a long while, they finally saw the blessed land, a valley brightly lit with lights, where all sorts of spirits gathered and made a great commotion.

"The four brothers, Gao Jia, Gao Youming, Gao Haikuo, Gao Shanping, and Gao Qiumo, have come to offer their congratulations on your birthday!"

"Jiang Mo from the Sanyi Sect has been invited to wish you a happy birthday and all the best."

The entrance to the valley was not guarded by elves, but by an invisible barrier, like an impenetrable wall, separating the two places.

As Gao Youming and Jiang Mo finished speaking, ripples appeared in the air behind their home, as if a mechanism had been unlocked.

The barrier was lifted, and everyone stepped inside, officially arriving at the ancestral land where the shamans had lived for thousands of years.

The light of the campfire illuminated the entire valley nestled against the mountains and beside the water. The air here was fresh, the vegetation lush, and the pavilions and waterside terraces built on the undulating rocks resembled the mountain villages inhabited by humans in ancient times.

Old, wooden square tables were placed all over the place, and every seat was occupied.

There are about a dozen immortals who have achieved great success in their cultivation. Their transformed forms are similar to human bodies, but they retain the heads, fangs, claws, and fur of beasts. They undoubtedly look like the monsters that have been passed down from ancient times.

The remaining elves, whose cultivation was inferior to those immortals who were two or three hundred years old, mostly appeared in their original forms, bustling about.

When the human presence suddenly appeared, the lively atmosphere abruptly fell silent. The eight immortals at the main table turned their heads to look, and saw four old men and two white-haired youths arriving together.

"Uncle Biao, the four young men of the Gao family have come to see you. We wish you good fortune and longevity."

Grandpa Gao spoke respectfully, his loud voice barely concealing his joy. When he was young and sickly, his elders had often troubled this spirit to treat his illnesses and exorcise evil spirits.

"You're here? Hey kid, find a place to sit down."

Hu Tianbiao smiled and stroked his beard. His transformed form was a gaunt old man with skin as withered as old tree bark. His cloudy eyes revealed a cunning glint, and his words exuded an imposing aura.

It stared with great interest at Jiang Mo beside Old Master Gao, never expecting that the invitation, made on a whim, would actually come.

The immortals at the same table as it were all astonished.

Although they live deep in the mountains, they obtain their offerings and information from the outside world through the humans under their command who have formed a protective pact with them.

The most powerful elves in the entire Greater Khingan Mountains had all heard of the infamous 'Chen Qing Xuan Zun' among humans;

Why?

Seventy years ago, in the Lesser Khingan Mountains, which bordered their territory, lived several elves who were nearly four hundred years old and whose cultivation was unfathomable. However, their souls caused trouble in the south, resulting in their original bodies being killed in their nests.

Therefore, countless elves have been caught up in the vortex of the struggle and died.

It should be noted that during the battle alone, more than 10,000 meters of mountain terrain were shattered. Those several overlord-level creatures did not even have a chance to escape and were beaten to death, their tendons and bones torn out. The resentment they generated from this incident lingered for a long time.

Seventy years have passed, and Jiang Mo is now far better than before.

The immortals present could clearly sense that he was completely different from other humans. His Qi was extremely pure and clean. With his arrival, even without any hostility, the overwhelming sense of oppression made the most powerful immortals feel instinctively uncomfortable.

It's a gene flowing deep in their blood that has a natural aversion to humans; the stronger they are, the more they hate them.

Long ago, in ancient times beyond our reach, humans and their cultivated elves fought fiercely for land and resources, creating chaos and destruction.

After their defeat, the elven race, who retreated into the mountains and forests, passed down their hatred and wariness of humans from generation to generation through the propagation of their bloodlines.

However, the past is the past, and the present is the present.

Since Jiang Mo was a distinguished guest invited by the host of the birthday banquet, they could not make things difficult for him. Many immortals were suppressing the discomfort in their bodies. The human in front of them was too powerful, so powerful that they felt uneasy even though they were in their own territory.

"We meet again, fellow Daoist. How have you been?"

Hu Tianbiao smiled broadly. He glanced at the fox monster beside him, and immediately some of his people went to set up tables and chairs. They also set up a new table next to the main table and invited Jiang Mo and the others to sit down.

"It's okay."

Jiang Mo smiled and looked straight ahead. Most of the elves in his field of vision were of mediocre quality, but the nine immortals on the main table were worth looking forward to.

"Congratulations on your 300th birthday, Senior. We, the Trinity Sect, have come from afar with this humble gift, and we hope you will accept it."

Lu Jin stepped forward and handed the packaged congratulatory gifts to Hu Tianbiao's fox cubs and grandchildren.

"You're too kind. It's my honor that you're here."

Hu Tianbiao waved his hand casually, confirming that what he said was true.

Their lifespan and cultivation time are longer than those of humans, but most of the time, they are still helpless when faced with certain freaks among humans. For example, Jiang Mo, who is less than 200 years old, is much stronger than this 300-year-old monster.

At this moment, all the immortals present admired its popularity, for it was able to invite the strongest cultivator of the era to come and offer birthday wishes.

Soon, at midnight, the birthday banquet officially began. The atmosphere was lively, with wine glasses clinking, elves playing flutes and dancing.

Day and night alternated, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Jiang Moran learned that the immortals who had been invited were mostly spirits from the Greater Khingan Mountains, with none from the Lesser Khingan Mountains or the Changbai Mountains.

During his discussions with the immortals, Jiang Mo also confirmed what the ancient books said: the cultivation of animals basically follows a clear path, namely, 'spiritual movement' - 'core formation' - 'transformation'.

Agility is the beginning of awakened wisdom. Unconsciously, it triggers certain acupoints and points in the body, or accidentally enters a strange Qi field, receives baptism, and thus masters the simple laws of breathing in and out of natural Qi. Then it absorbs medicinal herbs and clear spring water to continuously strengthen the body.

Once they reach the Core Formation stage, they truly possess the power to store and expend at will. Elves at this level are basically unafraid of being hunted by humans. Even when hunted in large groups, they still have the ability to protect themselves and can escape at will or wreak havoc.

In some remote mountain villages, spirits that have reached the Golden Core stage were considered inviolable beings by the villagers in ancient dynasties, and were worshipped as gods or local deities.

As for 'transformation', it is the realm that elves yearn to reach throughout their lives. It is difficult to achieve without two or three hundred years of cultivation and the accumulation of time.

Moreover, they can transform into other species, not just humans; there is no limit to the number of times they can transform.

Once the transformation begins, there is no turning back. It cannot transform into any species other than its original form or the species it has transformed into until it succeeds. In any case, it must undergo a transformation of both body and soul to become a different life form in order to become stronger and more complete.

Transforming into human form is the mainstream practice. Throughout history, many elves have chosen this path. Over time, as their experience in transformation has increased, they can learn from it when encountering problems.

If one were to transform into another species, it would undoubtedly mean embarking on an unknown path of cultivation alone. One might not even know if problems would arise during the cultivation process, and both the risks and rewards would be unknown. Therefore, fewer and fewer elves are choosing this path.

In addition, the most typical example of completing a life transformation is "flawless human body", which refers to immortals who have completely transformed from beasts into humans, with every inch of their flesh and blood, inside and out, being called "spiritual immortals".

The path to immortality has no limits. The cultivation lineage of these animals is not so much broken as it is that even their ancestors never reached it.

Hu Tianbiao once frankly told Jiang Mo that the most powerful ancestors in their ancestral land were at the third level of the Spirit Immortal realm.

This represents their journey through four different life forms: human, beast, tree, and fossil. Each transformation brought unimaginable growth to their original form, but they were still limited by their lifespan. Ultimately, they passed away in their ancestral land, becoming an eternal myth in the faith and praise of the world, with their great achievements passed down from generation to generation.

Centuries later, in Hu Tianbiao's generation, it even struggled to reach the first level of the Spirit Immortal realm. Moreover, its lifespan was approaching, with less than ten years left. In other words, this birthday banquet was very likely the last time it could achieve 'flawless human form'.

The other eight immortals on the main table include those of the same clan as it, as well as species from other mountains in the Greater Khingan Range.

Without exception, they are all stuck at the point of 'immaculate human life'. Some have a lifespan of forty or fifty years, while others have only ten or so years. If they cannot overcome this hurdle, they will be buried underground forever.

Typically, achieving a complete life transformation, namely entering the first level of the Spirit Immortal realm, usually results in an increase in lifespan of 80-120 years, according to ancient records passed down within their clan. The second and third levels follow the same range. As long as one continues to transform and breaks through death tribulations time and time again, one can theoretically achieve immortality.

This is why Hu Tianbiao invited Jiang Mo to his birthday banquet.

Its time was running out, and it wasn't even sure it could break through. Jiang Mo, the strongest being in the human world and hailed as a 'reclusive immortal,' was undoubtedly its best choice.

For a full 140 or 150 years, Hu Tianbiao learned Jiang Mo's approximate age range from the younger generation of the Gao family.

There have been extraordinary individuals in history who have lived to this age, but none have maintained the appearance of a young man like him—at least not in the history it knows!

It should be noted that there are great differences between the bodies of humans and animals, and it is even more difficult for humans, a species that is inherently weak, to achieve immortality.

These spirits stumble and struggle to reach human form, and then they possess a lifespan of two or three hundred years. But no matter how talented a human is, a hundred years, one hundred and fifty years, or at most two hundred years, they become nothing but a pile of bones.

But right now, Jiang Mo shows absolutely no signs of aging.

The life force is as vast as a boundless ocean. When Hu Tianbiao first met Gao Lian inside his body, he determined that this person could definitely live for more than 300 years!
