I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 127 The Underworld System
One chess piece, one jade seal!
The type of chess piece is not rare. The fact that it has no inscription indicates that this exceptionally talented individual, like many others, did not enter the game and become a piece; he was merely a backup option.

The jade seal was given to it by Qi Wujiu, as told by the boy Qingsong. It was originally a magical artifact prepared by the Taoist medical lineage Xiurenguan for its representative.

Suspended in mid-air, half-real and half-illusory, it is pale blue with a warm and lustrous jade texture, and a lifelike blue dragon is carved on the top.

It is square and only slightly larger than a coin.

It had already broken through the Manifestation of the Holy Mist before it was activated, and was wrapped in strands of azure light, making it a second-realm magic artifact.

Wang Tianzhong bowed respectfully, channeling his essence, energy, and spirit to their peak, releasing a unified life force.

He gave Chen Jing an apologetic smile: "Senior Brother Li Yin, this jade seal was originally prepared by the temple for you."

"Who would have thought that Senior Brother has not yet formed his Dao Embryo? It is because Junior Brother's destiny is to cultivate essence, qi, and spirit at the same level. By chance, he was chosen by Master. Now that the jade seal has been refined and cannot be separated, it has caused Senior Brother to suffer!"

Chen Jing: "…………"

Upon hearing this, the thirteen people narrowed their eyes, sensing the aura released by Wang Tianzhong, and four words couldn't help but come to mind: Perfect, a complete person.

Unlike cultivators who cultivate essence, qi, and spirit to a certain level, Wang Tianzhong's life force is perfectly integrated, resembling a more advanced life form after human evolution.

Shen Wuji exclaimed in surprise, "Truly a genius, and he was born at the first level of the Three Elements Realm."

"Even among extraordinary people, they are extremely rare. If you had come to Xiuren Temple earlier, the jade seal and spirit banner might have been prepared for you."

When Qi Wujiu heard Shen Wuji praise his disciple, he stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "Although my disciple Li Yin is the number one candidate to compete for the Dragon, the jade seal has already been refined by my disciple, and it is impossible to remove it unless he dies."

"The matter is beyond repair. Nephew Li Yin, please feel free to name your compensation terms."

“Cultivation techniques and spiritual resources are plentiful. As long as my disciple Li Yin is willing to assist me in the Dragon Conquest, the Cultivation Temple will surely have a place in the Underworld.”

Xin Buxiu's forehead veins bulged, and he snorted coldly, "Then kill him! Anyway, my disciple's jade seal must be returned."

Shi Wuyou quickly spoke up to stop them: "One is a genius with the talent of a celestial being, and the other is born with the wisdom of a tiger. It is rare to have two extraordinary people with such outstanding talents in the temple. Do you really want them to kill each other?"

"Furthermore, the tiger's form makes it inconvenient to move around, but it is perfect for assisting in the dragon's struggle."

"........."

Instantly.

All eyes fell on Li Yin.

The statement "I don't cultivate my mind" is merely a statement of attitude; the real decision-maker is Chen Jing himself.

However, Xin Buxiu was not well-liked in the temple, and faced with Qi Wujiu's moral blackmail, all eyes fell on Li Yin.

It's as if if you don't agree, you're a ferocious beast ready to kill your fellow disciples.

Chen Jing didn't really listen. His tiger-like eyes were full of interest as he looked at Wang Tianzhong, observing the spirit beneath the other's skin and sensing the life force emanating from him.

The so-called "heaven and man".

This is not a saying unique to the cultivation world.

The Celestial Finger technique requires no limit-breaking; the upper limit of life cultivation can naturally grow to the first realm through conventional training methods, making the user a genius.

The question remains: is Wang Tianzhong a true Celestial Being, or a cultivator at the peak of the First Realm of Destiny Cultivation disguised as a Celestial Being?
That innate arrogance doesn't seem feigned; it's more likely that he's a true celestial being, a perfect example of a cultivator in the first realm.

"Heaven!"

"Really rare?"

The concept of self-cultivation includes not cultivating one's mind, and in fact, it has a biased view of both heaven and humanity.

After all, in the seven thousand years of cultivation history, six thousand eight hundred and eighty years have passed, and the birth of celestial beings depends on the favor of the heavens. Ancient people did not have gene optimization fluid, so the path of physical cultivation was simply not feasible, but not everyone was unable to enter the Dao through physical cultivation.

The first realm is the human realm.

That is, the level that humans can reach.

Those with exceptional talent are born with a physical attribute limit that is already at a certain level.

By combining the training method of cultivating the body to the first realm with the explosive technique of cultivating the mind to the second realm, one can become a fierce general who can take on a hundred enemies on the battlefield.

But things are different now. With breakthroughs in biotechnology in the real world, celestial beings can actually be mass-produced.

If a human is in the embryonic stage, a gene optimization fluid is used to eliminate congenital genetic deficiencies and optimize various human values ​​to perfection, the resulting baby will be a celestial being.

The gene optimization fluid from Lunar Palace Biotechnology is best used on embryos, and only secondarily on cultivators.

Ordinary people who have not mastered consciousness will experience a certain degree of distortion in their consciousness after using gene optimization fluid.

Embryonic consciousness is a blank slate from birth. As long as it is modified at the human level, it can adapt to any modification, so there is no question of any so-called sequelae.

When a celestial being reaches the first realm, there is no need to break through the limits of the Dharma; simply practicing the Dharma is enough, truly winning at the starting line.

Although it is currently illegal, there will always be people who take the risk and will always be people who conduct experiments on humans and other beings.

Chen Jing did not rush to answer, but looked at the abbot Shen Buyi and asked, "May I ask the abbot? What is the purpose of the jade seal and the spirit banner?"

"........."

Shen Buyi put down his teacup and explained, "The struggle for the dragon is indeed a struggle for the Yin Dragon, and the matter dates back four hundred years."

"Four hundred years ago, the immortals manifested their divine power, and the cultivators possessed boundless strength, but they also discovered that the Cangyu had severed the connection between heaven and earth, and they could no longer ascend to the heavens."

"Except for Earth Immortals like the Ancestral Master who have merged with the secret realm, all cultivators are destined to die."

"The only person capable of breaking through the barrier between heaven and earth is the emperor of the Daye Dynasty, but the Emperor of Daye would certainly not do so."

"Firstly, secular emperors do not want immortals in the netherworld to interfere in the mortal realm and thus shake their rule."

"Furthermore, the Daye Dynasty had ancestral temples to maintain, so that the spirits of the emperors would not be obscured after their deaths."

"Emperors are naturally on the opposite side of the system of becoming immortals and ascending to heaven, so they are naturally unwilling to let the heavens have a share."

"For more than three hundred years, Confucianism suppressed the dynasty, so things were relatively peaceful. However, the emperor was supreme, and the ancestral temple sacrifices of the dynasty had long exceeded the prescribed nine generations."

"Moreover, officials formed powerful clans and extended their influence into the City God system, and countless of them became gods after death."

"The number of state ghosts is increasing, and the incense offerings are running out. It is even difficult to maintain the city god system that suppresses the world. The Confucian school, which was originally one with the monarch, has also seen the emergence of some ambitious individuals."

"Thirty years ago, Confucian, Taoist and Feng Shui masters gathered to search the heavens and earth and found thirty-two Yin Dragon Veins, and secretly made a plan for the underworld."

"The goal is to separate the Yang Dragon and the Yin Dragon, so that they can check and balance each other. In times of chaos, the Yin Dragon can nurture the hidden dragon, and in times of prosperity, the Yang Dragon can pardon and ennoble the Yin Dragon."

“Every dragon vein will give birth to a Ghost King, who will become the ruler of a region and govern billions of dead souls. But this is not a good thing, because even if the domain lord breaks through the barrier between heaven and earth and ascends, he will eventually be drawn back to the human world. Only you aliens are rare.”

"The jade seal and the spirit banner are magical artifacts that were forged in advance by intercepting the dragon vein's aura."

"By simply integrating the spirit banner into any secret realm of the dragon vein, the secret realm can be quickly transformed into a ghost realm to support the remnant spirits in nurturing ghost soldiers and generals."

"The jade seal is a magical artifact used to summon ghost soldiers and ghost generals; the two complement each other."
