My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 118 Whose righteous and awe-inspiring thing is emitting black smoke?

The "Puppet Show Sutra" with its superior skill can make one an immortal in three days. This surpasses the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Sutra" with its superior skill on the list of the most vicious and evil, and is naturally more extraordinary in this respect!
It will only take three hours!

Otherwise, what's the point of pretending to be divine will to nourish oneself?

What makes this realm so special as to be in the final level?
When a certain old monster surnamed Bai first created his power, he wanted to take a big "shortcut" by letting the Heavenly Dao of this realm temporarily serve as his own nourishment, so that he could break through his realm, open the gate to immortality, and have endless lifespan.

After all, what decent person wouldn't want to take a shortcut?
But he never imagined that although he had mastered the technique, the heavens and earth had been tampered with, so much so that he couldn't even pretend to rely on the will of heaven to nourish himself for a moment.

That old man Deng is really going too far!
"But what is this Taotie Boy?" Bai Chijing was curious about this, because something was clearly not right.

He was aware of the name Taotie.

It's an extremely ferocious thing.

But what's the point of adding "boy" after it? Is it a celestial position?

However, Bai Chijing neither intervened to save the inherently wicked little beggar nor did he secretly interfere in anything.

After fabricating a false identity and transforming the soul of the Crimson Fiend Swordsman Tu Wen into a primordial spirit with enough internal cultivation to support his martial arts for ten days, he stopped interfering.

After all, he wasn't taking on a disciple; he just wanted to acquire a high-level evil thought.

As for the life or death of this Crimson Fiend Swordsman, that was of no concern to him, because from beginning to end, his relationship with the other party was merely an equal exchange.

Bai Chijing gave Tu Wen the power to avenge himself, and the ability to live for ten days.

Tu Wen then returned a wicked thought to him.

As for his soul, flesh, and the like, they have nothing to do with Bai Chijing. They should be returned to heaven and earth as they should be, and reincarnated as they should be.

Suddenly, Bai Chijing's gaze shifted slightly, and he looked towards the direction of Mount Shu.

"Shushan has made a move so quickly?"

This was his inspired body, which had finally come into contact with the cultivation methods of Mount Shu. The reason for this was that the Crimson Swordsman had killed two disciples of Mount Shu.

Although it's no longer needed, that doesn't stop Bai Chijing from taking a look.

And this also provides a good opportunity for him to confirm whether his previous conjecture was correct or not.

So Bai Chijing shifted his attention to that.

……

Shushan, the servants' quarters.

Three years have passed, and the inspiration that has slowly transformed him into a young man is now looking at a young man standing in front of him.

Beside him stood a celestial being from the servants' quarters.

The fact that a celestial being was sent to receive this disciple of Mount Shu indicates that this young man's identity is not simple.

However, this young man was clearly not a talkative person, because from the moment he appeared until now, it had been that immortal who had been speaking.

As for the young man, he hasn't uttered a single word so far.

This person's name is Xuan Yunmo, and it is somewhat fitting.

“Junior Brother Xuan, Bai Er is the most honest and upright person in the Miscellaneous Service Hall. Since entering the hall, he has only diligently practiced the breathing technique and has never pursued any cultivation method.” The immortal from the Miscellaneous Service Hall said with a smile.

Although the words were somewhat veiled, almost all the disciples who had just entered the Shu Mountain sect could understand them.

Basically, he has passed the test and is confirmed to be loyal to Mount Shu, and he will obey their every command. In addition, he has no parents or relatives, is still young, and is very easy to please, making him an excellent "top-grade servant".

As for the name "Bai Er," it was given by the Miscellaneous Service Office to Bai Chijing, the embodiment of inspiration.

This means that in front of the White Pond View, there were 101 young children serving as servants.

It's not just that the name was chosen randomly; it was extremely random!

After speaking to Xuan Yunmo, the Immortal of the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard's smile vanished. Then, in a calm tone, he said to Bai Chijing, the embodiment of his inspiration, "Bai Er, you must still remember Elder Li's prophecy about your fate. From now on, serve Junior Brother Xuan diligently. Even if you have no hope of achieving Immortal status in this life, with Junior Brother Xuan's talent and fortune, he can still guide you back to Shu Mountain at that time, allowing you to rejoin the sect. And at that time, you will be a direct disciple!"

Upon hearing these words, Bai Chijing's inspired reflection did not say anything more, but simply nodded slightly in response.

After all, if we take this servant's words seriously, they actually contradict the prophecy of the earth immortal elder.

However, Bai Chijing's perfunctory attitude was also quite serious.

This is called loving what you do.

Upon seeing Bai Chijing's response, the servant in the manor smiled again, for he believed that with his care, "Bai Er" would definitely work desperately for Xuan Yunmo.

In this way, even if Xuan Yunmo doesn't appreciate it now, the person behind him will notice his efforts at this moment!
Regardless, he can get some credit.

“Junior Brother Xuan, I won’t disturb you any longer.” This immortal servant from the miscellaneous quarters was not surprised that Xuan Yunmo did not respond, because his “Junior Brother Xuan” had always been like this, even when facing the sect leader of Shu Mountain.

When the servants arrived, Xuan Yunmo glanced at Bai Chijing and then walked away on his own.

However, after he had walked a short distance, his voice suddenly rang out again: "Junior Brother Bai Er, right? You can cultivate on your own from now on, you don't need to come looking for me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing, the embodiment of inspiration, immediately nodded.

Because this suited his taste perfectly.

Then, while flipping through the Shu Mountain cultivation method "Gathering Summer Technique" in his hand, he pondered the information he had just received from the immortal in the miscellaneous servant's quarters.

Although the Crimson Swordsman only killed two Shu Mountain disciples, and these disciples weren't completely dead—their souls had reportedly been retrieved and sent to the Immortal Lotus Pool to rebuild their bodies—the impact of Tu Wen's actions, in Bai Chijing's view, was somewhat significant, or rather, a bit outrageous…

At this very moment, all the disciples of Mount Shu received a message warning them to be wary of Tu Wen, a member of the evil path! As a result, all the disciples of Mount Shu underwent a period of improvement, or were even prohibited from going out.

Tu Wen was originally a rogue cultivator, but after he attacked and killed disciples of Mount Shu, he was naturally classified as a heretic.

"The yellow birds sing sparsely as the plum rains approach, the green lotuses flourish and the summer clouds are flushed... This cultivation method is indeed moderate and peaceful, with a lively and spiritual spirit. However, it is all bark and no bite. Even after hundreds of years of cultivation, it is still not as good as the work of a beginner disciple who holds a sword and practices breathing exercises for three to five months."

Bai Chijing compared the methods of that group of Shu Mountain disciples and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Although this method is acceptable, it directly points to the realm of immortals in the outer world.

That is, the wondrous, mysterious, spiritual immortal.

However, they have almost no means of attack or protection, because they all require external forces to be effective, such as borrowing the supernatural power of their fellow disciples.

At this moment, Bai Chijing flipped through the "Summer Picking Manual" and realized that the terms "Human Immortal," "Earth Immortal," and "Heavenly Immortal" all had a four-character prefix.

What's somewhat unbelievable is that this is something he had never seen in the memories of the demon monk or Tu Wen.

Although he hasn't conducted further verification, Bai Chijing is already certain that, apart from those who entered the Shu Mountain sect through legitimate means, anyone else who knew the four-character prefix would suddenly forget it all at some point.

Bai Chijing was well aware of how incredible and unpredictable his "Ten Greedy Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" was, but he never dared to underestimate anyone in the world. If he could comprehend such a method, others might not be unable to comprehend something similar.

Even if it is far inferior, as long as the Five Elders of Shu Mountain suppress the will of Heaven, then this matter can be easily accomplished.

At this point, Bai Chijing was certain that he hadn't guessed wrong.

The power cultivated within Mount Shu and the power cultivated outside Mount Shu, although both are called True Qi, are indeed two different levels of cultivation power!
If the true energy cultivated through the methods within Mount Shu is represented by a number of one hundred, then all the methods outside Mount Shu might not even amount to ten.

Only two or three.

The cultivation power and true energy in this world are indeed qualitatively different from the cultivation level.

Once this true energy is successfully cultivated, it will continuously radiate information related to oneself into the world. Although doing so can continuously accelerate one's cultivation, allow one to sense the most suitable treasures, and prevent certain curse-killing methods, it also makes one's origins easily detectable by certain special methods.

However, one's cultivation remains constant and unified.

While there is still a possibility of being spied on, the difficulty is undoubtedly much greater.

And it's easy to spot.

Then they are countered. However, once they cultivate to the level of the Mysterious Spiritual Immortal, the two will slowly begin to converge again. And once they become the Supreme Celestial Immortal, their true energy and cultivation level will no longer be significantly different.

"Then Mount Shu will suppress all True Celestial Immortals who are not from Mount Shu..."

Bai Chijing couldn't help but think this way.

Because once you reach this level, you can be 100% certain that Shushan will discover the tricks they've played in these places.

If left to its own devices, the carefully crafted system created by Mount Shu will soon reveal flaws and weaknesses. For one thing, Mount Shu disciples will no longer be able to crush cultivators from outside the mountain as easily as before.

Because those celestial beings who are not from Mount Shu will always want to go further and cultivate to become Golden Immortals!

Enmity stemming from obstruction can often escalate into a life-or-death confrontation in an instant. No matter how powerful the other side may be, as long as their ambition for progress remains, they will inevitably resort to underhanded tactics.

As Bai Chijing pondered this, his inspired self suddenly looked in the direction Xuan Yunmo had left.

Because his mind is already within this person's body.

At this moment, Bai Chijing discovered that this person was actually eyeing his luck!

……

Xuan Yunmo left decisively, appearing taciturn yet warm-hearted. Shortly after his departure, a figure quietly appeared beside him. This person was familiar to Bai Chijing; it was the Earth Immortal Elder he had met on his first day in the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard when his spiritual reflection entered the courtyard.

At the time, he felt that the elder of Shushan was too idle.

"Nephew Xuan truly has the bearing of his father." This upright-looking elder from Mount Shu said to Xuan Yunmo with a smile.

This is a compliment to his handling of that "120".

Upon hearing this from the Shu Mountain elder, Xuan Yunmo, who had previously been taciturn, suddenly revealed a hint of arrogance in his eyes. Then, with a slight sense of confusion, he asked, "Uncle-Master Jing, is it necessary for me to do this? No matter how good this menial servant is, he's still just a servant..."

Faced with Xuan Yunmo's question, this "Uncle-Master Jing" just smiled, because without Cheng Hao's Chengde Earth Immortal, it would be impossible to understand just how extraordinary the fortune above "Bai Er" was!
Its color is jade white, perfectly natural, and it contains profound Taoist mysteries; seeing it for a long time is like hearing the Tao.

Such an extraordinary situation could mean that this person is an extremely rare individual in the Shu Mountain Realm, born with great fortune!
It's innate! Not something created by human intervention!

So, this "Uncle-Master Jing" revealed this information. Originally, because the fortune of "120" was so extraordinary, all the Earth Immortals of Mount Shu chose to keep it a secret and not reveal this information to Human Immortals or disciples below the Human Immortal level.

This was out of concern that if all the disciples competed for the "120" prize, some unexpected problems might occur.

After all, people like to wait for the right price to go.

If this "120" realizes that he might be extraordinary in some way, they will have to pay a considerable price to get him to obey them.

That would be a losing proposition.

In addition, just as the heavens and earth began to show signs of the tribulations on the path to immortality of Mount Shu, they were also afraid that this "hundred and twenty" would rise up in response to the tribulation and step on them to cultivate into the Mi Luo Supreme Celestial Immortal!

Thus, he became the second Zixiao Sanxian!

"So he's a born genius with immense fortune! No wonder you only gave him a copy of the 'Summer Gathering Technique' today!" Xuan Yunmo exclaimed in realization. He was, after all, of extraordinary status, and knew very well just how incredible such a born genius could be!

Even with just one manual like the "Summer Gathering Technique," one could cultivate to a level where their strength rivals that of the Shu Mountain disciples! They could even far surpass them!

This sounds like a fantasy, but there have been precedents for it.

And more than once!
"Thank you all for your kindness, fellow disciples! I will remember this favor!" Xuan Yunmo said immediately. Although the other party helped him scheme against a person with great fortune because of his father, it was still a great favor in any case.

If someone born with great fortune uses it well, even if Mount Shu truly doesn't allow the emergence of a fiftieth Mi Luo Supreme Celestial Immortal, he can still break through that constraint!

This is the true value of someone born with great fortune.

Although the Five Elders of Shu Mountain had high hopes for Li Xuanwei, there were already five Golden Immortals in Shu Mountain, let alone the number of people who had such high hopes.
Li Xuanwei just happened to be the one whose cultivation level was closest to the Miro True Realm.

……

Unbeknownst to anyone, beneath the power of perception, Bai Chijing could secretly obtain information about what the other party knew through certain covert means.

What's more, these two people were practically talking to him face to face!
“No wonder. As soon as I arrived, I received a so-called prophetic statement from a celestial being. He probably just wanted to ascertain my fortune and then do something about it…” Bai Chijing suddenly realized.

It turns out that it wasn't that Elder Haoyou of the Immortal Realm of Shu Mountain was too idle, but rather that his own luck was so strong that it directly attracted the other party.

"However, when did I become someone born with great fortune?"

Bai Chijing's expression couldn't help but look a little strange.

He remembered clearly that his luck had been completely wiped out by the refining of the Human Profound Pill and the Earth Profound Pill. The luck he had now was forcibly gathered together by those four lines of poetry written by the Heavenly Official.

If it weren't for those four lines of poetry inscribed by the Heavenly Official, his entire fortune would most likely have been in debt to Heaven and Earth...

However, although it is a fact that he was not born with great fortune, Bai Chijing has never been one to swallow insults. More than a hundred years ago, when his cultivation was still weak, he confronted people face to face, let alone now.

"Since you're so eager to scheme against my fortune, then I'll have to ask you for help with my second evil thought!"

Xuan Yunmo's identity is undoubtedly extraordinary in Shushan. If such a person were to make a fuss, it would surely shake the entire cultivation world of Shushan!

At the foot of Tianlong Pass Cliff, Bai Chijing stood by the rushing water, seemingly gazing into the distance.

He was figuring out how to give this highly skilled disciple of Mount Shu a treasure that people would know was problematic, yet still be irresistibly drawn to.

Then, unable to think of a suitable Shirachi Kei, he decided to draw on the strengths of others to see if he could copy a good "idea".

With a thought, the mark from the list of the most vicious and evil beings in his mind reacted immediately. As the eye-shaped object manifested, Bai Chijing entered the Immortal Replacement Canal again.

Upon seeing this, Bai Chijing was pleasantly surprised.

The object of replacement: The veil of ultimate beauty and invincible sincerity.

Description: This item is exquisitely beautiful and truly invincible. Wearing this veil will ensure that when you see the one you love, no matter how indifferent they may have been before, they will love only you from now on. The only drawback is that both the wearer and the one affected by the "Invincible True Feelings" spell will gradually become overly impulsive... and unwilling to reason.

Exchange cost: None. May all lovers in the world be united in marriage.

The kind of thing that involves getting something for free is always a thrill to be had every time.

Although this thing is obviously problematic, it doesn't matter. Five uncivilized old men have already set up a protective barrier to help him.

Then, Bai Chijing had an idea.

The scene he had experienced before immediately reappeared. As the eye-like object moved slightly, a veil appeared in front of him.

Then, thick black smoke billowed from the veil.

The veil was white and small.

But the billowing black smoke was a huge cloud that shot straight into the sky, like a beacon of smoke.

It's amazing.

Bai Chijing was amazed. None of the people nominated for the list of the most vicious and evil were kind-hearted.

Although he didn't know what the black smoke was, he could sense some of the curse power within it.

It is most likely a curse that kills others or exerts control.

After all, that's the true nature of a vicious person.

At this moment, Bai Chijing suddenly emitted a dark aura, which then flowed into the bead in his right palm like birds returning to their nests.

The object that resembled an eye immediately twitched slightly.

The text begins to appear on it:
Today, you are once again fleecing those on the list of the most vicious and evil, whose name is etched throughout the Three Corpses Heaven for their wickedness.

[Find and obtain Treasure Sharing Spell +1]

The words began to dissipate, and Bai Chijing had already fully understood this precious incantation.

"This black smoke is actually the Treasure Dividing Spell?" Bai Chijing was somewhat surprised, because the information he had just received told him that this was a righteous and upright spell!
Whose righteous and awe-inspiring thing is emitting black smoke?
