My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 245 Extra 2

(Because Qidian changed its rules, the new book is still in preparation.)

Shi Chenyu is the name of this near-Dao Celestial Venerable's son, but he is just one of the masses. Below transcendence, even near-Dao Celestial Venerables are nothing more than ants.

Shi Chenyu's departure, however, went very smoothly.

Because his performance over the years has been quite cooperative, and he doesn't have any other ulterior motives.

After leaving Xingyu Heaven, the son of this near-Dao Celestial Venerable entered a small world that his father had once created. This is not an exaggeration; it truly was a small world. Although the fundamental materials used were extraordinary to form the prototype of this world, the fact that this near-Dao Celestial Venerable of Xingyu Heaven was able to create it successfully demonstrates his extraordinary talent.

If this person hadn't been tricked and instead transformed into a new Heavenly Dao for the sake of Xingyu Tianhua, thus gradually losing himself, it's highly likely he would have reached the tenth Heavenly Rank on the path of transcendence.

After entering this world, Shi Chenyu rebuilt the Shi family and never mentioned his father, the Near-Dao Celestial Venerable, until his death.

It should be noted that Shi Chenyu is an immortal with an incredibly long lifespan, having lived for several eras.

Shi Chenyu's attitude also earned the Shi family, which he established, the special privilege of receiving a celestial token every ten thousand years.

This is the only path to immortality.

Because any other form of ascension to immortality without proper documentation is not permitted!

There was no such rule in the world, but the twelve transcendent immortal masters all acquiesced to it, so such a rule appeared in the void of heavens at some unknown time.

The immortal who transcends the Dao in one step is truly terrifying.

Even without doing anything, just a thought can create rules powerful enough to crush all living beings!

This small piece of land is called the Hour World.

From then on, in this small world, there was a once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity to become an immortal!

Every ten thousand years, the heavens and earth tremble, strange phenomena occur constantly, and immortals manifest from the void. Only those of the Shi family bloodline can touch this object. If any outsider dares to covet it, they will instantly suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, and be annihilated in both body and soul.

This attracted the attention of countless forces, but no matter how much the Shi family declined later, no one dared to directly rob them.

However, members of the Shi family are permitted to give it away voluntarily if they wish.

Therefore, this immortal token was truly a special privilege for the Shi family. From then on, no matter who was in charge of the Small Realm, the Shi family members were always their honored guests!
……

The Shi family's situation is not an isolated case in these vast and boundless heavens. There are countless worlds that require near-immortals to transform into the Heavenly Dao within them to prolong the lifespan of heaven and earth, but those like Shi Chenyu are few and far between.

Most of them still want to find out the mystery of their parents' disappearance. Although their parents have become part of the Heavenly Dao of that world and have begun to lose their self-awareness, they are still their parents, so in the unseen world, they still leave some concern.

This is why the Shi family kept Shi Chenyu alive back then.

It wasn't that they made a move back then and carelessly left him alive; rather, Xingyu Tian at that time needed another descendant of that near-Dao Celestial Venerable to live.

However, these near-immortals who have transformed into the Heavenly Dao can still care for their children, but their power is ultimately limited.

Therefore, unless the children of these near-immortals are as honest as Shi Chenyu, they are still prone to encountering misfortune.

It's not about being directly killed, but rather about using various methods to subtly allow them to pass away peacefully over several hundred years.

The Murong family is such a family.

The first ancestor of the family was the son of a near-Dao Celestial Venerable in this universe! As the son of a near-Dao Celestial Venerable, the first ancestor of the Murong family lived to the age of 172.

This number is undoubtedly a very long time for ordinary people, but for those who cultivate themselves, it is ridiculously short.

Moreover, he is the son of the Heavenly Venerable of the Near Dao!
One can imagine just how "rebellious" this son of the Celestial Venerable, the first ancestor of the Murong family, must have been to die so naturally after only a little over a hundred years.

Because the first ancestor of the Murong family passed away early, the Murong family is currently only a small cultivation family in the cultivation world of the universe.

They possess a small spiritual vein as a means of livelihood for the family. Naturally, the Murong family does not possess any immortal possessions.

However, the Murong family has no need for a divine artifact, because the Murong family's heritage is already incomplete, and the resources the Murong family currently possesses are insufficient to support the birth of an immortal.

This is not only what outsiders think, but also what the Murong family members themselves think.

Until that year, the Murong family suddenly produced a child with extraordinary talent who, even as an infant, was able to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body.

This is precisely the highest level of cultivation talent—the Dao Body!
Moreover, it is a flawless Dao body!
Such talent is so extraordinary that one could say they were born to attain immortality.

Such a brilliant and talented person, naturally, had already begun to show his talent and gained a reputation in the cultivation world of the universe at the young age of ten.

Because of only a little over ten years of cultivation, this person is already close to attaining immortality.

However, in the end, he was unable to take that crucial step.

The rules, originating from the will of the twelve Immortal Lords, firmly lock down everything in this world. No matter how extraordinary a person's talent may be, they cannot break the rules tacitly permitted by the Immortal Lords.

This is also the fundamental reason why this person, who has shown extraordinary talent since birth, has been able to remain safe and sound.

Without a divine mandate, no matter how extraordinary one is, there is no hope of becoming an immortal. As long as one is not an immortal, one poses absolutely no threat to those who oversee this world.

The difference between immortals and mortals is like heaven and earth.

Mortals don't even have the qualifications to face immortals, let alone exchange one for another.

Ultimately, this member of the Murong family only managed to elevate the Murong family to a level of cultivation in the cosmic realm before passing away several thousand years later.

However, although this person has passed away, the Murong family has continued to produce people with top-notch cultivation talent ever since.

This is because the Heavenly Dao of the Universe, before completely losing itself, finally had a final burst of energy.

"The sky is going to die."

Within the vast universe, a figure spoke these words calmly.

This is an immortal.

They are also the ones who oversee this universe.

He had realized what was about to happen in this world, that the end of the Dharma era was about to begin for this realm.

"Could the government be changing its rule?"

A figure suddenly appeared beside this immortal and asked the following question.

However, this person is not here to oversee the Heavenly Realm, but to be in charge of the Immortal Mandate.

"Why change it? Heaven is not easily changed. Look, isn't the Murong family a perfect fit to continue the line?" said the immortal in charge of supervision.

Upon hearing this, the immortal who arrived later burst into laughter.

So he pointed.

Suddenly, a celestial artifact landed at the Murong family's location.

Thus, in this generation of the Murong family, someone finally attained immortality!

Within the Murong family, with the ascension of this generation's exceptionally talented individual to immortality, the entire family was bathed in an atmosphere of unparalleled joy.
