My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 237 Entering the mortal realm, returning as an immortal (Part 1)
That consciousness was in a state of chaos; although it had begun to awaken, it lacked self-awareness. Therefore, after awakening, this consciousness merely surveyed everything in this outer heaven without exhibiting the slightest emotional fluctuation.

So naturally, nothing was done.

However, as these true spirits continued to sever their own paths of cultivation and became like madmen, this awakened consciousness was clearly touched by something.

Because it has started to become more dynamic.

Clearly, this consciousness, awakened from beyond the heavens, is beginning to rediscover itself.

However, at that moment, two figures suddenly appeared near the awakened consciousness, holding chains and about to entangle it.

The two figures were a man and a woman. Although their faces were unclear and even their figures were somewhat blurry, the hatred they felt for this consciousness was already becoming tangible.

That was an unimaginable hatred!

Having entangled for countless years, extending to this point, even though it's almost dissipated, it still needs to be dealt with once this consciousness reappears.

This is a kind of hatred that one will hate even in death.

However, at that moment, a hazy power erupted from this consciousness, instantly shattering the two figures.

As the two figures disappeared, this consciousness finally began to regain itself.

He remembered.

He had once awoke from a corpse at the foot of Mount Tujian.

I also remembered that I turned the impossible into the possible, and with the phrase "Once freed from the shackles, I am astonished by the world," I completely reopened the path of cultivation that I had seemed to have been cut off at the time.

He also remembered how he had gradually ascended to an unbelievable realm from the Tujian Mountain, and even finally became a true immortal in a place where it was impossible to attain immortality!

However, the path to immortality was still fraught with difficulties and setbacks. He even had to rebuild his cultivation for a whole new era before he was able to ascend to the supreme position of near-immortal.

He thought his cultivation had come to an end.

Unexpectedly, this was actually a wide road, but there was a real Banhu who was unwilling to fulfill his vow, blocking the way and using the immortals who were close to the Dao as expendable resources.

The remains of countless near-immortals were scattered throughout the entire Banhu Realm.

However, he still managed to find a way out of this seemingly hopeless situation.

Although he perished as a result!

"Ten Heavenly Ranks, cultivate the power of transcendence..." This consciousness murmured, as if talking in a dream, but as its voice fell, endless power of change arose in this inner heaven.

What is easy is not easy. At this moment, the outer heaven is just like the sky in the world of Banhu back then. Countless variables have arisen, but none of these variables have manifested any strange phenomena.

Then, this consciousness noticed the five true spirits that were evolving the five paths to transcendence.

"Transcending the five realms, reaching a level comparable to the true Banhu, indeed... as long as no one blocks the way, there are plenty of exceptionally talented beings in this world..."

“Since you have already transcended, you should not be trapped here.”

The voice emanating from this consciousness reached this point, and the five true spirits who were curiously examining this consciousness were instantly repelled by the Outer Heaven.

Within those five peerless, transcendent bodies, as their respective true spirits returned, they all opened their eyes. Their eyes shone with supreme immortal light, and the surrounding aura rose and fell, giving rise to endless variables. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that within these auras, wondrous and extraordinary beings were being born.

These mysterious beings, though lacking the status of near-Dao immortals, would instantly transform into colossal ferocious beasts capable of threatening even those near-Dao immortals should they stray into the void.

However, besides their ferocious side, these creatures also possess a mysterious and wondrous aspect.

If a person of great benevolence sacrifices their life for righteousness, and their story becomes known to such mysterious beings after their death, these mysterious beings can create a soul from nothingness, allowing such a person of great benevolence to reappear in the world.

However, these incredibly wondrous beings were not created by the five near-immortals who had transcended the Dao in one step. These wondrous beings were simply created randomly when the emotions of the transcendent beings fluctuated.

"Is this also a fellow Daoist who has transcended the Dao in one step?" The Northern Heavenly Immortal Lord asked with a hint of surprise, which was the root cause of his drastic change in emotions at this moment.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to transcend this in one step.

Therefore, apart from the First Immortal Lord, the five of them had an extremely clear connection with each other.

After all, when a near-immortal who has transcended the Dao in one step is born, the traces of the past related to him will inevitably change immediately.

The most obvious change is that in that past era, a being suddenly appeared who could suppress everything in the world.

This is because after taking that leap of liberation, the former weak body ceases to exist.

Every living being is undoubtedly at its weakest at the beginning of its cultivation. But transcendence is different. After cultivating a power of transcendence, the self that was at the beginning of cultivation will directly become the self at its peak.

This is a realm so terrifying it's unimaginable.

At this moment, the reason why the Northern Heaven Immortal Lord showed a hint of surprise and doubt was because, in his perception, there had not been a single powerful figure of similar strength to him in the past.

"The heavens beyond the heavens possess their own mysteries," the Celestial Lord of the Heavens said hesitantly.

In the vast and boundless universe, there are some realms that, in terms of antiquity, surpass even the outer heavens. But if we're talking about something truly incredible, then the outer heavens are undoubtedly the foremost among them.

After all, this is a rare place that even a transcendent immortal lord cannot enter to explore.

“He is not a near-immortal who transcends the Dao in one step, he is the real Banhu…” Just then, Hongshi spoke up. Although he was a rebirth of the memories of the past Hongshi Daoist, since he had the memories of the past, it was impossible for him not to recognize Bai Chijing.

"The real Banhu?"

Once Hongshi uttered these five syllables, the other four immortal lords immediately realized the profound mystery of this title.

They clearly felt that this was a state equivalent to transcending the mundane.

"This is a figure who existed in the same era as the First Immortal Lord, and also the creator of the 'Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture.' I never expected that he would remain dormant in the Outer Heavens for so many years. Now, our appearance has unexpectedly awakened him, and I'm afraid many troubles will arise in this world because of him," Hong Shi said, recounting everything he knew.

He wasn't very confident even when facing the real Banhu.

Although transcending in one step is no different from the real Banhu, the real Banhu was ultimately a terrifying being who stood at the pinnacle of the path of cultivation countless ages ago.

After all, just now, these five near-immortal spirits who had transcended the Dao in one step were casually "invited" out by someone else.
