I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 167 A Moment's Difference

ban!
Fang Xin responded immediately and blocked Cao Xian's magical light.

His body was trapped in the void and he couldn't move, but there was no fear on his face.

He looked coldly at Cao Xian and said, "So the union of immortals was indeed your doing, the third realm experiment?"

Immortals who wish to enter the Celestial Realm must pass through the Immortal Gate. Initially, there were only ten Immortal Gates. Others would need to first establish their own Underworld, which would ultimately put them at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, finding a pre-existing divine position is not an easy task. Only the ten creators of the heavens can leave a backdoor in the chosen divine position to facilitate the search.

Chen Jing left a backup plan in the Innate Cloud God Position. If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Xian should leave a mark in the Innate Grass God Position. It is weak, but it is the first god position that can be conceived.

Lin Ling, through the Xuzhou Yinsi Immortal Gate and the mark, found the position of the Primordial Grass God, and the immortal and god merged, catching everyone off guard.

When Cao Xian's Three Realms Experiment Plan was discovered, he felt no shame whatsoever, nor did he panic when his inspiration was blocked.

Lin Lingcai was the master of the Daoist field. His intervention was merely to give Lin Ling more spare energy. He said calmly, "Times have changed! The path of our predecessors is almost exhausted. It is time for me to forge my own path."

Fang Xin sneered: "This is not a reason to kill our fellow practitioners."

Cao Xian didn't expect to be understood and shook his head: "For immortality, someone will always have to pay a price."

Before the conversation, Chen Jing prepared to move towards the Bagua diagram. A golden cicada in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled wildly as a warning, but Chen Jing did not dodge behind him in advance. Instead, he decided to jump towards the innate Bagua diagram.

【ban!】

The next moment, the dojo's domain suppressed the attack.

The thought froze, and Chen Jing turned into a wooden figure, frozen in place.

Lin Ling's fingertip transformed into a sharp sword, its blade piercing straight through Chen Jing's chest. The innate Bagua diagram, derived from the Dao of Heaven, had always been beneath her feet, and she could merge into it with a single thought.

Unfortunately, what seems so close is actually eternity, and one can never take that final step.

Chen Jing shook his head helplessly: "It should only take a thought, but we were still a step too slow. Half of the reason is the limitation of the data body."

In the cultivation world, there is a spiritual time flow rate. If one cannot break through the spiritual time flow rate barrier of the Heavenly Realm, the speed of thought will be limited.

Lin Ling only needs to chant fast enough to freely switch between maintaining the suppression of the Daoist field and attacking and killing. Even the weakest immortal can suppress nine second-realm cultivators with ease.

[Shedding its skin like a cicada!]

Chen Jing activated his supernatural powers, leaving behind only a withered yellow human skin on the spot.

The consciousness transformed into a golden rainbow light, surging into the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos, and was instantly engulfed by the crimson serpent flames.

Although there is only one supernatural power, one can develop various supernatural techniques and methods based on it, thus maximizing the abilities of an immortal.

"ban!"

With another thought, the grass and leaves that enveloped the Daoist field revived, and a small grass sprouted from the ground, transforming into vines that wrapped around the Primordial Eight Trigrams in the void, causing the Primordial Eight Trigrams diagram to disappear once again.

The group of people who followed Chen Jing toward the Eight Trigrams Diagram sighed deeply, "We were just one thought away from escaping, but that one thought is an insurmountable chasm, the difference between humans and immortals."

Chen Jing used the fact that humans have physical bodies as a coordinate of reality, making him stronger than immortals at resisting the pollution of Taoism, and escaped through the Heavenly Tao Bagua Diagram.

Humans, too, must face the reality that immortals possess an absolute advantage in the speed of thought.

Whether Lin Ling was maintaining the domain of the Daoist temple to prevent everyone's consciousness from leaving the Heavenly Realm, or using her comprehension to kill living beings, she needed to exert all her strength. The fact that she could maintain both effects simultaneously relied entirely on her mental speed being a fraction faster than everyone else's. Although the group was some distance from the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram, she could reach it in just two mental thoughts.

The "golden cicada shedding its shell" technique only gave Chen Jingneng one more thought, but that one thought was the difference between failure and success.

"........."

Lin Ling picked up the human skin left behind by Chen Jing, which instantly turned into specks of light and dissipated. She frowned and said, "Using an immortal as a weapon, my grass sword failed to hit its target. The instant it touched him, a piece of skin was shed to serve as the target, allowing him to escape and ascend to heaven. A flick of the finger, an instant, a mere moment..."

Chen Jing's thoughts were restricted, not only by the flow of time in the Heavenly Realm, but also by the limitations of his physical body, making him absolutely slower than an immortal.

Xuanzang's thoughts were not restricted, and his control over the timing was exquisite, like dancing on the tip of a knife. He tilted his head at the moment the bullet left the barrel, allowing the bullet to wipe away the dirt on his skin, so that he could achieve a near-death effect.

Cao Xian spoke first: "Don't worry about him. He just escaped the domain of the Daoist temple. Does having a physical body mean he can ignore the pollution of the heavens? Whether he can survive is another matter."

"Moreover, his life cultivation has not broken through to the second realm, so he was not our target in the first place. He was just there to draw out the true forms of these people and find experimental subjects."

"........."

The immortals were experimental subjects.

God is the experimental subject.

Humans are also experimental subjects.

Lin Ling looked at the remaining eight people, her body shimmering with a protective aura of spiritual light, and her body gradually turned into vegetation.

Cao Xian was an insider who colluded with the Daye Dynasty. He used the dynasty's social system to find Him, this fallen immortal, and convinced himself to participate in the real-world experiment of banished immortals without having to deal with Him.

With only six superhumans left to deal with, the difficulty level has been significantly reduced.

Lin Ling was not as spirited as she had been at the beginning. Chen Jing escaped through the Innate Bagua Diagram. The data character was not considered dead, but rather reforged, and was still within the Azure Heaven Bureau.

The idea of ​​destroying the world and returning to the past is wishful thinking. As a fellow experimental subject, it only has a chance of surviving.

He twirled a blade of grass around his fingertip again and said to Cao Xian, "I hope that, as you say, I can have a way out and see the true scenery of the future."

Cao Xian laughed and said, "Why be so disappointed? Breaking the Heavenly Qi Formation is just wishful thinking. Aren't those who look up at the heavens also caught in the trap? I'm just letting you cooperate with my experiment in peace."

[Crack! 】

The protective aura of criminal law collapsed.

The body was first assimilated into a green grass figure, then instantly withered and turned into a pile of dust.

Fang Xin glanced at Cao Xian and said, "I'm not playing with you anymore, Cao Xian. Don't let me find you!"

Having said that, he activated the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos, but before he could act, a grass sword pierced through his chest, growing countless roots that began to assimilate his body.

The instant her body completely turned into grass, a giant white wolf awoke in her sea of ​​consciousness, opening its blood-red maw and tearing Fang Xin to shreds.

The data character died, and Fang Xin's divine essence was damaged, causing her to faint. However, she can recover after a period of rest, and there is no risk of death or becoming an idiot.

"Even if they find me, so what? The real world is my home turf too."

Cao Xian was completely unfazed by Fang Xin's threat. He turned to Lin Ling and said, "Kill them all! I'm sure there will be two unlucky ones. If you still want to destroy the heavens, you can continue to try, but—you don't have much time left."
