My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 244 Extra 1
(It's already finished. This is a story that took place over those 365 million epochs.)
Starry Sky is one of the 108,000 heavens in the Void Heavens.

At this point in time, it is the twenty-seventh epoch since the twelfth Immortal Lord ascended to the tenth Heavenly Rank.

However, even now, no new step beyond the path of immortality has been taken to be born.

However, this is normal.

After all, ascending to the tenth celestial step is extremely difficult. The path to transcendence is never easy to traverse.

Currently, within this void of heavens, there exist twelve immense powers, known as the Twelve Immortal Capitals. And surrounding these twelve Immortal Capitals, twelve Immortal Dynasties have been formed.

All 108,000 days are under the rule of these twelve immortal dynasties.

Xingyutian belongs to one of the immortal dynasties, but it is not a highly regarded realm, because Xingyutian has already begun to show signs of the end of the Dharma era.

Since Bai Chi Jing completed the void, and Ban Hu Tian Dao and Xiong Yan Ban Hu also fulfilled the two great oaths, the Heavenly Dao in the void heavens will no longer transform into the Human Dao. The Human Dao has life and death, but the Heavenly Dao does not. Therefore, such signs of the Dharma-ending Age are impossible to appear under any circumstances.

The reason why this impossible thing happened is that the immortal resources in Xingyutian have been completely plundered.

Although there are still places for near-immortals in this world, the near-immortal rank is no longer available.

This is a contradiction.

This should never have happened under any circumstances, yet it has now occurred so openly and brazenly in Xingyutian. And Xingyutian is not an isolated case; to date, there are no fewer than ten thousand places like Xingyutian that show signs of the Dharma-ending Age.

This is no small number for the entire Void Heavens.

Even if new worlds are born in the void, those that reach the level of a universe are extremely rare. Otherwise, given the boundless nature of the void and the birth of twelve transcendent beings, there wouldn't only be these 108,000 worlds.

Therefore, the twelve immortal lords devised a method to repair the world.

Find a way to bring forth a near-immortal, and then have this near-immortal sacrifice himself to mend the heavens and earth, so that he may become a new Heavenly Dao.

However, such a way of Heaven will inevitably degenerate into the way of humanity in the end.

The world that has entered the Dharma-ending Age is already terminally ill. Since that is the case, it would be good if it could prolong its existence for a period of time and provide more resources for the immortal path.

Thus, at some point, the immortals in the Void Heavens discovered that the number of near-Dao Venerable Positions suddenly increased, and the immortals who obtained these near-Dao Venerable Positions were not from such powerful backgrounds.

Even if something unexpected happens and the position of Near Dao Venerable is snatched away by someone from a powerful family, the stolen position can be reclaimed through an appeal to the Immortal Capital Administration.

In an instant, countless exceptionally talented immortals found a place to display their talents, which greatly excited them.

Until they successfully ascended to the throne.

Then, these newly ascended immortals who had successfully ascended to the rank of Daoist immortals suddenly and mysteriously disappeared due to some unexpected event.

With the disappearance of these newly ascended immortals, the worlds that had entered the Dharma-ending Age naturally began to recover and showed signs of a flourishing immortal era.

This turn of events from danger to safety naturally thrilled all the cultivators in the world.

In Xingyutian, there has already been a near-immortal.

This world, naturally, broke free from the trend of the Dharma-ending Age after that near-Dao Immortal mysteriously disappeared, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged overnight!
Various rare and precious natural treasures that had previously disappeared have shown signs of reappearing.

This symbolizes the arrival of a great era for cultivation. However, strangely enough, the immortal sect founded by that newly ascended near-Dao immortal was wiped out overnight, with only one branch of his descendants outside surviving by sheer luck.

A century passed in a flash, and in the starry sky, an organization established by the people of the Immortal Dynasty—the Dao Palace—emerged, specifically to govern this world.

To be precise, the Dao Palace oversees the forces in this world, requiring them to pay tribute to their respective immortal dynasties.

The surviving offspring of that near-immortal has also attained immortality. After all, he is a descendant of a near-immortal, so his innate qualities are naturally extraordinary.

If his father had not mysteriously disappeared, this descendant of a near-immortal could have achieved immortality in half a century.

A century has passed, and this descendant of a near-immortal has begun to cast a suspicious glance toward the Dao Palace, which stands above all the power in the Starry Sky Heaven.

He couldn't find a single clue about his biological father's mysterious disappearance, so according to the principle that whoever benefits the most is the most suspicious, Dao Gong was undoubtedly the most suspicious one.

However, he also knew very well that no matter how much he doubted, he was powerless to do anything about it.

Even his father, a near-immortal, couldn't do anything, so what could he do?

However, he also decided to leave Xingyutian. Because of his background, he knew a lot of things. Before his father was able to ascend to the position of Near-Dao Celestial Venerable, all the immortal resources of Xingyutian had been divided up.

Even those who attain immortality have limited quotas.

For a cultivator to attain immortality, it is not a matter of whether their personal cultivation is sufficient, but rather whether they possess the necessary divine credentials!
The so-called "immortal's certificate" is proof of attaining immortality.

Only those who possess it are qualified to attain immortality. Those who do not possess it are illegally attempting to achieve immortality.

Immortal tokens are undoubtedly very difficult to obtain. First, one must consider the person's background, then their allegiance, and finally their personal qualities and character.

Therefore, the trade of immortal tokens has always been prosperous.

Even if you can obtain a Celestial Certificate, you may not become an immortal, so it's better to just sell it, since a Celestial Certificate isn't limited to one person per time.

With strong connections and influence, he alone receives about ten divine tokens every year.

This was originally a path to livelihood left by the founder of the Immortal Path for his descendants.

Before Xingyutian entered the Dharma-ending Age, those restrictions on immortals had already disappeared. But now, those restrictions on immortals have reappeared without anyone knowing.

This descendant of a near-immortal did not find this to be a coincidence.

Even after examining numerous ancient texts, he had a vague suspicion that Xingyu Tian was able to end the Dharma-ending Age entirely because of his father!
However, although he had some suspicions, he dared not say them aloud.

Because it's no use saying it.

Whether anyone believes him or spreads the word, it's all useless. After all, the person who benefits from this is someone he absolutely cannot afford to offend.

He was like that, and so were everyone else.

Therefore, rather than trying in vain, it's better to simply leave this world to avoid being killed.
