My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 235 Oh no, there's a cunning old fox here.

"Where are the three fellow Daoists?" the Northern Heaven Immortal Lord asked again. He had reached the end of his path. Although he guessed that there was a second step to transcendence, he had not been able to take even half a step for countless eons.

Therefore, even knowing that the True Spirit entering the Outer Heavens could not be reproduced except under special circumstances, the Northern Heaven Immortal Lord still decided to make a trip to the Outer Heavens.

"Since Fellow Daoist Beitian is willing to make the trip, we naturally share that intention. We have been at this realm for far too long, transcending it in one step, and have now reached a point where we cannot progress any further. Yet, the second step of transcendence that we have speculated about is not a mere illusion, but rather has a high probability of existing. How can we bear to see things only in a mirror?"

One of the immortals who had transcended the Dao in one step spoke up. He spoke at length, and his words were full of a sense of vicissitude.

This being, who transcended the Dao in one step, was known as the Celestial Lord of the Azure Sky, and was the second ancient one to reach the tenth Heavenly Rank after the First Celestial Lord.

The passage of time has imbued every word and action of this Celestial Lord with an ancient aura.

This time, there is an even stronger sense of being willing to die for the sake of the Way.

Not only this Celestial Lord, but also the other three near-Cultivation Immortals who have transcended the Dao in one step!
However, it is absolutely impossible to say that these four near-immortals who have transcended the Dao in one step gathered here did not leave behind any backup plans.

The true spirits within the heavens and beyond are indeed impossible to reproduce without special circumstances. So what if such special circumstances occur?

“What Fellow Daoist Shangtian said is also what I think. Since both of you are so determined, I, Huang Chi, will accompany you on this journey,” said the one who had just spoken, the one who had just transcended the Dao and was close to becoming an immortal. This one was named Huang Chi.

His title is naturally Huang Chi Immortal Master.

“My opinion is the same as yours, fellow Daoists.” The last one to transcend the Dao and reach the next level also spoke. This one was named Sheng Qi. According to the birth order of the five who had transcended the Dao, he was the fourth.

At this moment, apart from the last Immortal Lord, the other four in this void of heavens have all come here.

Then, as the four reached an agreement, a mysterious power of contractual oath descended upon their physical bodies.

As for their true spirits, they have naturally already entered the outer heavens.

Having reached this level of understanding, since a consensus has been reached on attitude, there is no longer any room for hesitation or procrastination.

However, as the true spirits of these four entered the Outer Heaven, a figure silently arrived here. This figure looked at the Outer Heaven, which seemed so close at hand, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.

"Why do I feel a strange sense of familiarity..." the figure said, somewhat surprised and uncertain.

The person who can come here at this time is undoubtedly a near-immortal who has stepped onto the tenth Heavenly Path, and not just an ordinary one who has stepped onto the Heavenly Path.

This person is none other than the last of the five who have achieved a one-step transcendence in the Void Heavens.

It was a transcendence that was born in this eon, and its name is Hongshi!
Moreover, what no one knows is that this Celestial Lord of the Great World is, to date, the only Immortal of the Near Dao who has not taken the First Immortal Lord as his master.

Because he had already recognized who this First Immortal Lord was.

First, Ling Jia!

A former Banhu.

However, unlike before, after witnessing those who relied on the Banhu rank being slaughtered like ants, Hong Shi's desire to obtain the Banhu rank himself had vanished. Therefore, after awakening this time, Hong Shi didn't pay much attention to the First Ling Jia; he simply assumed that the other party had awakened a few years earlier than him.

If he had woken up that early, his current achievements would certainly be no less than those of Ling Jia, who used to rely on Banhu's position!
This is because the Hongshi of today is very different from the Hongshi of long ago.

The current Hongshi, although still named Hongshi, is actually the Heavenly Dao consciousness of the Primordial Chaos. After merging with the Heavenly Dao incarnation of Zhixuantian, a trace of it remained and gradually revived from the long river of time.

It is both the fusion of the two into one, and the new consciousness that emerged after their fall!
"Why do I feel the same aura as that Heavenly Dao Annihilation Tribulation back then here..." Hong Shi's eyes flickered. At his level, in theory, apart from the second step of transcendence, it should be difficult for him to feel any ripples in his heart. However, at this moment, his emotions could not help but change.

There was even a hint of horror on his face.

Because in the past, when those beings who relied on the position of Banhu were killed like ants, beings like Hongshi, who were manifestations of the Heavenly Dao, all escaped this calamity.

However, his joy didn't last long. Just a dozen or so epochs later, an invisible force permeated the entire void.

At first, the influence of the invisible force was not obvious, but after two angry roars of "White Thief" resounded and reverberated in the void, the invisible force quickly boiled up and erased all traces of existence of these Heavenly Dao beings who had developed self-awareness and become human.

Because of his special circumstances at the time, he was able to leave a trace, thus gaining a chance to survive in the long river of time.

Because that time was erased so quickly, even though the newly reborn Hongshi had already transcended it, he still couldn't hide a bit of fear in his heart.

It's a kind of terror that you can't truly understand without experiencing it yourself!
At this very moment, as the true spirits of the four Transcendent Ones entered this Outer Heaven, the aura within the Outer Heaven began to leak outwards.

The aura emanating from it felt exactly like that invisible power to Hong Shi!
"It was because they entered the Outer Heavens that this aura appeared. So, all those invisible forces from back then eventually gathered in the Outer Heavens?"

"Or perhaps, these invisible forces themselves originate from this outer heaven?"

Hongshi muttered to himself.

The fear in his heart had been completely suppressed at this moment.

After all, it was a step beyond, and if it weren't for the fact that some things involved were too terrifying, Hongshi wouldn't have been able to feel such emotions.

"What exactly is it?!"

Hongshi wanted to know; if it was the former, it would undoubtedly be good news, but if it was the latter…

That's still good news.

Because his strength at this moment is no longer what it used to be!
Therefore, Hongshi did not hesitate and his true spirit also entered it. However, unlike the previous four, Hongshi only entered with half of his true spirit.

However, at that moment, a delicate white hand suddenly appeared and banished Hong Shi's remaining true spirit into the Outer Heaven.

Hongshi only heard a soft, sweet voice throughout: "You're welcome!"
