Aspiring to the Immortal Path

After a brief period of shock, Tang Jie smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'll just open it halfway."

He walked over to the Immortal Talisman. After the battle, Immortal Ji Yao had removed the illusion, revealing the true appearance of the passage, as well as the shining talisman which illuminated this entire subterranean world.

"Tang Jie!" Ice Phoenix shouted.

Tang Jie turned to her and smiled. "I know what you're worried about, but I don't think that tearing off the talisman halfway will give her the ability to leave. If that were the case, then the more of the talisman that's removed, the more power she should be able to send over, and she would be able to use this power as a primer and kill us all and tear off the talisman herself. Clearly, this hasn't happened, which shows that the Immortal talisman's seal is very tight, and removing part of it won't be too much of a problem. So long as the talisman remains, she cannot use her power."

"But what if"

"There are no 'if's. When I'm sure about something, I'm going to do it. It doesn't matter if I'm wrong or right. I'll accept the consequences no matter what they are, and if I can't bear the consequences, then I just have to accept obliteration. Just like Senior Liu said, even if it's another Demon Lord, what's one more on top of the 99 already in Primordial Fog? The sky won't fall just because of this."

Ice Phoenix was speechless, but Immortal Ji Yao laughed in approval. "Excellent, excellent. You're as bold as one should expect of Jiuyang's disciple."

Ever since her fit of madness, she had gradually begun to calm down, her words becoming less shrill and more compassionate, acting like a motherly senior.

As Shentu Yuan put it, her burgeoning motherly nature was suppressing her demon nature.

Tang Jie grabbed the talisman and began to pull. When the talisman was half-removed, violet fog poured out of the passage, and the howls of countless demons resounded. These demons wanted to charge out, but a powerful force held them back.

A few moments later, four Bullhead demons walked out of the passage with a gray coffin on their shoulderspresumably the Eternity Sarcophagus.

Bullheads were one of the standard soldiers of the Primordial Fog Domain's demon army, with strength comparable to body cultivators. When they charged in formation, they were simply unstoppable. The four Bullhead demons who had come out all seemed to be at the warlord level, their cultivation at the Transformation level. But when carrying the sarcophagus, they were panting for breath, which showed how heavy the Eternity Sarcophagus actually was.

Upon exiting the passage, the Bullhead demons put down the Eternity Sarcophagus, upon which the earth shuddered. Fortunately, the demonized soil was so tough that the Eternity Sarcophagus only sank a little into the earth.

Tang Jie walked over and grabbed the Eternity Sarcophagus, trying to move it, but he couldn't even make it budge. He sighed in praise, "What a fine treasure! This material alone would make it a fine weapon for smashing enemies."

Immortal Ji Yao chuckled. "You really are Jiuyang's disciple. You even say the same things."

Tang Jie was speechless.

Having delivered the Eternity Sarcophagus, the four Bullhead demons retreated without causing any incident. Ice Phoenix realized that she had misunderstood Immortal Ji Yao and felt embarrassed. But Immortal Ji Yao didn't mind, moving on to teach Tang Jie how to use the Eternity Sarcophagus.

After teaching him, Immortal Ji Yao said, "Alright, hurry up and put the old dragon in the sarcophagus."

"Yes." Tang Jie opened the Eternity Sarcophagus and put Lin Xin's body in. He then adjusted the dial on the sarcophagus to slow down the time within the coffin.

But Tang Jie still had some lingering questions.

Just now, he had noticed that the inside of the Eternity Sarcophagus was covered in profound Dao Runes, as many as one would find on the Myriad Immortals Cauldron.

In other words, this was clearly a Dao armament.

But Immortal Ji Yao had said that this was a divine treasure.

Of course, she could have been trying to be humble or just treated all her valuables this way. It was completely possible for some Titan to take out a Dao armament and say, "I have this treasure here. Maybe it will work."

Thus, for Immortal Ji Yao to call it a divine treasure was not completely out of the question.

The problem was that this was still a Dao armament. To just give it to Tang Jie was a little too generous.

Of course, it could be that Immortal Ji Yao still had feelings for the Martial Lord and was treating Tang Jie as his proxy. Regardless, no matter how Tang Jie examined the Eternity Sarcophagus, even looking at it through Insight, he couldn't find any problem.

The stay continued, the group continuing to cultivate and converse.

Tang Jie and the others told Immortal Ji Yao what had happened in the last ten thousand years, and Immortal Ji Yao told them stories about the Court of Myriad Domains.

The era of the Court of Myriad Domains was a most magnificent era. f reeweb .com

It was said that, back then, the Primordial Fog Domain and the Great Stellar Chiliocosm were not so obviously divided from each other, and there were actually many passages between them.

They were like two large bowls facing each other, connected by a thin passage. The bowl above was called the Great Stellar Chiliocosm, and the bowl below was called the Primordial Fog Domain. Between these two planes was the planar barrier, steadfast and tough.

Within the bowl of the Great Stellar Chiliocosm were many grains of sand, each sand being a small world. Floating about the bowl, they were the main body of the Chiliocosm.

As for the Primordial Fog, it didn't have that many grains of sand. It was the opposite of the Stellar Chiliocosm, but more importantly, it was an intact whole.

In other words, this world was just as vast as the Great Stellar Chiliocosm.

This was why the Primordial Fog Domain, a single domain, could battle against the entire Great Stellar Chiliocosm.

Of course, the Primordial Fog Domain was a barren place, its vast lands lacking in resources. Thus, it was sparsely populated, and most of the land was as deserted as the void.

The lack of resources made the Primordial Fog Domain a primitive hunting ground, its inhabitants always living in hunger and struggle, always killing for food. This was exactly why invading the prosperous Great Stellar Chiliocosm became so normal for them.

In truth, the demons of the Primordial Fog Domain weren't necessarily stronger than the inhabitants of the Stellar Chiliocosm. While Primordial Fog was big, its size prevented its unity. But all the demons of Primordial Fog could risk their lives for the sake of food. They were born with aggressive natures, born amid constant battle. It was the complete opposite of cultivators who cultivated for the sake of eternal lifethose who sought eternal life would never embrace death.

This difference meant that the Great Stellar Chiliocosm had been in great peril at the time.

The cultivators were always trying to fend off the demon invasion, and they were constantly being pushed back.

But heroes would always rise up in a chaotic world.

It was also at that time that some incredible individuals appeared in the Stellar Chiliocosm, gaining fame and prestige in their battles with the Primordial Fog.

Immortal Emperor Yu Cheng had been one of these people. He had joined together with all the other Immortals of the world in a joint offensive against Primordial Fog, leading an army of cultivators into the Primordial Fog Domain for the first time. There, they slaughtered numerous demons, seeming unstoppable.

Not long after that, the Immortals withdrew, but Yu Cheng did not stop his efforts, gathering treasures from across the heavens and refining them together into a single heavenly item: the Myriad Heavens Stellar Divine Net, which created a barrier between the two planes, preventing the invasion of the Primordial Fog Domain. This was why this plane was called the Stellar Chiliocosm, for the Stellar Divine Net protected it from the Primordial Fog.

This move stabilized the entire universe, and was seen as an act of immense virtue. Yu Cheng seized the momentum to establish the Court of Myriad Domains, venerated by all the worlds and attended upon by all Immortals.

This was a world of Immortals, so it was where those of the Immortal Platform Realm gathered.

Here, the weakest person was at Violet Palace, with Deification cultivators being cannon fodder and Soul Projection cultivators being the lower class. Earth Immortals were the primary force, and True Immortals were the upper echelons.contemporary romance

The Court of Myriad Domains became the strongest force in the Great Stellar Chiliocosm, and while other factions existed outside of it, as well as Dao-Proving Saint Immortals, none of them could match the Court of Myriad Domains. Gradually, all of the Chiliocosm was united.

It was at that time that Immortal Ji Yao joined the court.

A female cultivator of a lower domain, she finally attained the Dao after cultivating for a thousand years and ascended to Immortal Platform. Upon reaching Immortal Platform, she felt the summons from the Court of Myriad Domains and transcended her domain, becoming an Immortal and joining the Court of Myriad Domains, where she was titled Pearl Lady of the Nine Heavens.

The Pearl Lady was a great beauty who naturally drew countless suitors.

But the Pearl Lady was devoted to the Dao and never showed affection to anyone. She was also overflowing with talent, so with diligent cultivation, she managed to become a True Immortal.

It was then that she met the person who would change her life.

"That day, I was meditating when I suddenly had an idea and set off to the Sea of Stars. The Sea of Stars is a dangerous region of the void, full of stars and asteroids, as well as ancient great fiends from the beginning of the universe. Even someone as strong as me has to be careful there. That day, as I was journeying through the Sea of Stars, I spotted a battle in the distance. Flying over, I saw a man fighting with an Ink Dragon. This Ink Dragon was a dangerous and tyrannical creature of the Sea of Stars, and even I would have a headache dealing with it. Yet this man was relying on only his two fists to fight the dragon. Finding it interesting, I stayed to watch. This went on for almost one hundred days, and in the end, that person finally seemed to falter against the Ink Dragon. Just when he was about to lose, I saved him.

"I thought that he would thank me for saving him, but this person was extremely unreasonable and accused me of interfering with his battle. I angrily retorted that he would have died if I hadn't intervened, but he stubbornly insisted that he could win even without me. I said that he was clearly losing, but he said that this wasn't a problem at all, that he had been on the losing side numerous times, but he had never once actually lost. I was frustrated with his absurd arguments, so we started fighting. I thought that he would be exhausted after fighting for a hundred days, but when we actually started fighting, I saw that it was really as the man said, that he grew stronger and bolder the more he fought, so I was forced to use my full strength haaa, I got a little too excited and used a newly-learned technique, the Thousand Blossoms Sword Finger. Having yet to fully master this technique, I lost control of it. It just so happened that at this time, this stubborn mule suddenly stopped fighting and said that I had proved myself and there was no need to keep fighting. In the end, my finger almost ended up killing him"

Immortal Ji Yao's voice drifted off.

While she hadn't said who this person was, even a fool knew she was referring to the Martial Lord.

Everyone was entranced by the story, Yiyi even asking, "And what happened after that?"

"After that after that, I brought him back to the Immortal Domain and treated his injuries."

Yiyi clapped her hands and giggled. "I know the rest! At that time, the Pearl Lady Immortal Sovereign and Senior Martial Lord must have developed affection for each other and eventually gotten together. After that, the Azure Dragon deceived the Immortal Sovereign into falling into demonhood, and she was suppressed by the Immortal Emperor. An enraged Martial Lord then charged into the Immortal Domain and destroyed the court, driven by the fury over his lost love!"

Immortal Ji Yao indifferently said, "Since you can already guess the rest, I don't need to explain. So, isn't this a very clichd story?"

Tang Jie chuckled. "All the stories of the world follow the same general paths, and there's not much to be innovated on. But even the most clichd of stories feels different depending on the characters. Senior Pearl Lady falling in love with the Martial Lord should have been a good thing, but why did Senior fall into demonhood? Is it because of that business of going against the Great Dao?"

After a few moments of silence, Immortal Ji Yao replied, "I don't wish to answer this question."
