My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 84 The World of Most Cultivators
Suddenly, Bai Chijing remembered Su Chengwu's unsatisfactory performance back then and began to realize that Su Chengwu had not truly mastered the technique.

The fragment of the "Puppet Show Classic" that he saw clearly stated that one could become an immortal in three days.

This attainment of immortality does not refer to becoming a terrestrial deity.

Instead, they attained enlightenment and became immortals!

Then, Bai Chijing looked towards his cave dwelling.

Under the illumination of inspiration.

In an instant, a figure identical to Bai Chijing appeared outside the cave. As Bai Chijing's spiritual reflection appeared, all the restrictions on the cave were lifted in an instant, and the cave gate opened wide.

Stepping inside, though it was a manifestation of inspiration, it was no different from the arrival of Bai Chijing's true form, after all, this was a divine phenomenon exclusive to the Upper Realm of External Appearance.

One's own spirit, in communion with heaven and earth, is the source of inspiration.

However, to be more precise, in the current world of Yaotian, apart from those terrestrial immortals in the outer realms, Bai Chijing is probably the only one who can use this technique.

After all, apart from Bai Chijing, none of the other external appearance realm cultivators had undergone the fifth internal tribulation.

Other immortal sects, relying on the blessings of their ancestors, often have cultivators who have reached the outer realm of cultivation. After passing through three outer tribulations, they begin to prepare for the things needed to break through to the outer realm of cultivation!
Even without the blessings of the ancestral master, Tu Jianshan only had to undergo the Five Inner Tribulations again.

In other words, it is the fourth tribulation of the external realm.

It's no exaggeration to say that many terrestrial immortals at the initial stage of the Outer Heaven Realm are not qualified to use this Inspiration Reflection Body! Because although the difficulty of undergoing the Five Inner Tribulations decreases after reaching the Outer Heaven Realm, it should be noted that the lifespan of those at the Outer Heaven Realm is incredibly long, so these people at the initial stage of the Outer Heaven Realm have been delaying it again and again.

Therefore, in this world of Yao Tian, ​​if someone at the initial stage of the Outer Heaven Realm goes to undergo the Five Inner Tribulations, then they will inevitably have to go through it, as they cannot delay any longer.

It is only because the outer realms cannot manifest their divine power in the mortal world that Bai Chijing's success in undergoing five internal tribulations is enough to alarm all the terrestrial immortals in the Yao Tian mortal world.

Then, while marveling at how human this person was, they couldn't help but take action against Bai Chijing.

Because they suspected that Bai Chijing was hiding something that could help him overcome his tribulation.

The world is never simply black and white.

The same applies to cultivating immortality.

Those who reach the pinnacle of cultivation on the human path can be ruthless in ways beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Brother!"

The opening of the cave's protective spells naturally alerted Huai Qiaoqiao, who was cultivating inside.

Upon seeing that it was Bai Chijing, Huai Qiaoqiao, without waiting for Bai Chijing to ask any questions, told him about Su Chengwu's visit and how Su Chengwu knelt down without recognizing the person.

After hearing this, Bai Chijing glanced around the cave and then said to Huai Qiaoqiao, "I have already met with Senior Brother Su, and together with him, we killed the little Taoist boy from the minor Taoist sect."

"Is he the culprit?" Huai Qiaoqiao had no doubts upon hearing this, and she didn't ask any other questions, because she had actually seen her sister go to see the young Taoist boy.

Upon closer examination, it was from that time that she began to sense that there were some subtle oddities about her older sister.

After all, they are sisters who spend every day together.

It was only because Huai Jinxin was like a "ghost" at the time that Huai Qiaoqiao suspected him long ago.

Bai Chijing did not answer.

Because he was observing the scroll of scripture, and after a long while he couldn't figure it out, he raised his hand, summoned three incense sticks, lit them again, and then casually picked up a stone from the stone wall inside the cave.

His inspired self shone brightly at his fingertips, instantly transforming the stone into something extraordinary.

Then, he handed it to Huai Qiaoqiao.

"This object can resonate with me. If anything happens, just use this object to call upon me, and it can protect you in case of danger," Bai Chijing said. A trace of his own inspiration was imbued into this stone, and once touched, it could directly manifest a divine body that reflected his inspiration.

Upon reaching the seventh tribulation of the Outer Appearance Realm, Bai Chijing's own extraordinary abilities have become increasingly apparent.

On the path of spiritual cultivation, the level of one's spiritual attainment is always fundamental.

No matter how strong the External Realm is, it is not as good as the Initial Realm of External Appearance. And no matter how strong the External Appearance Realm is, it is still not as good as the Initial Realm of the Outer World.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Huai Qiaoqiao took the stone and was immediately excited.

After all, this was not only a gift from Bai Chijing, but also the protection of a high-ranking official in the Outer Realm! And a high-ranking official in the Outer Realm has a lifespan of five hundred years, enough to protect her for her entire life.

If Bai Chijing could advance further, then this stone would be an absolute treasure for most cultivators.

After all, most cultivators spend their entire lives struggling in the external realm.

Cultivation talent can be said to limit over 90% of cultivators.

"kindness."

Bai Chijing gave a simple response, and his inspired form dissipated on its own.

Bai Chijing, who was still above the mountain gate of Tujian Mountain, also withdrew his gaze. Although he could not tell whether the scroll of scripture had changed, he was certain that the incomplete scroll that Su Chengwu had learned was from his cave.

Because Huai Qiaoqiao said a lot, but didn't mention that Su Chengwu went to look at that scroll of scripture, it's very likely that Su Chengwu was bombarded with cultivation methods by that scroll of scripture before he even got close.

"From now on, I must diligently cultivate the art of greed..."

Bai Chijing silently made a decision.

Because this "Puppet Show Classic" is just too strange. Even a fragment is like this. If it were a complete scroll, who knows what kind of changes it would undergo.

Then, he looked at the feather in front of him and was filled with joy.

He had originally intended to ask First Lingjia why this Kunpeng Immortal Feather had fallen into his hands, but after First Lingjia mentioned that she had severed the connection, he changed his mind.

Because Ling Jia didn't say it.

Therefore, it's hard to guarantee that this Kunpeng Immortal isn't "unknowable"!
Once you know the general idea, it will sense it! After all, this feather in front of you is merely a molted feather!

What is metamorphosis?
This often means that it has become useless.

Luckily, he had powerful backers, otherwise he would be in real trouble right now.

Having finished his mental calculations, Bai Chijing stopped bothering Ling Jia and continued asking about the feather, wanting to know Su Chengwu's current whereabouts.

However, at this moment, Ling Jia's voice came: "If you encounter trouble outside, even if it is a celestial being, just shout and I will take action. There is no need to rush back to Tu Jian Mountain."

The voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze, which filled Bai Chijing with joy.

What an amazing thing!

Although he didn't know the exact level of this peerless immortal's cultivation, there was no doubt that he was a genuine immortal, and likely one of the more powerful ones.

Bai Chijing then thanked him again with delight.

"Thank you!"

He bowed with utmost sincerity.

If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, he would have liked to kowtow.

However, in response to Bai Chijing's words of thanks, the little girl almost rolled her eyes at him, because Bai Chijing had stopped calling out to her.

Luckily, she had a backup plan!
hum!

At this moment, Bai Chijing had already begun to ask the Kunpeng Immortal's "shedding feather" a third question.

"Where is Senior Brother Su Chengwu right now?"

The Kunpeng Immortal Feather, which had just been startled by the invisible thread, immediately urged the winds of the world to work when it heard Bai Chijing ask another question.

The wind is everywhere.

So Su Chengwu was found very quickly.

"Following the clouds, the cave of ten thousand shadows."

"There? Are we just waiting to die?" Bai Chijing was taken aback, because this place was quite special. The cultivators who went there were basically hoping to be resurrected after death.

However, the fact that this place has never been occupied by the underworld shows that it is wishful thinking to think that one can be resurrected here after death.

At most, he can successfully turn himself into a corpse.

Therefore, unorthodox practitioners and independent cultivators are the ones who most like to come here to find materials.

As a result, two major businesses have thrived near Suiyun Mountain for a long time.

The first step was to seal the tomb.

Second, going down into the tomb.

The so-called sealing of the tomb refers to setting up corresponding anti-theft measures according to the employer's requirements.

And this tomb raiding business naturally falls to those who are skilled at bypassing anti-theft measures.

However, on the surface, the only business in the vicinity of Suiyun Mountain is tomb sealing. And those who oversee tomb sealing are all prominent array cultivators.

Most notably, each of these array-based cultivators has at least a dozen or twenty kill records.

This kill record was naturally due to the fact that when the tomb-sealing formation they were in charge of was broken, they countered the opponent and slowly wore down the tomb raiders to death within the formation inside the tomb.

Therefore, the higher the kill record of a formation cultivator, the higher the cost of presiding over the sealing of the tomb.

They often use thousands as the unit of measurement.

Bai Chijing only needed to borrow 100,000 Zhou Seals to cultivate the Ten Thousand Swords Formation, which shows how high the fees charged by these formation cultivators are.

Near Suiyun Mountain, there are three cities.

However, none of them are very big.

Originally one city, it was later divided into three cities as the area was divided among three dynasties.

Therefore, the main currency circulating here was the Zhou seal.

The currencies issued by those three great dynasties actually had little purchasing power.

This is because the currencies of different dynasties were different, and the exchange rates were somewhat arbitrary. For example, the exchange rate between the Great Chen Dynasty and the Great Qi Dynasty was one to one hundred.

Because these two dynasties were at odds, they used this to belittle each other.

The same was true of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Such haphazard currency exchange might not matter in other places, but the mortals near Suiyun Mountain are suffering as a result.

So, they simply started using Zhou Yin's seals for everything.

Because the exchange rate between Zhou Yin and the currencies of all the major dynasties was uniform.

The immortal sects forbid any changes, and the dynasties dare not touch them either.

The Great Qi Dynasty has only existed for three hundred years. This is because its predecessor suddenly went mad and changed the exchange rate between their own dynasty's currency and the Zhou seal. Then, overnight, the dynasty changed hands, and most of the royal bloodline died out. (Background: "Heaven's Beloved Daughter" in the synopsis)
The direct descendants and the powerful collateral descendants were all wiped out, leaving only a few collateral descendants who relied on bloodline stipends and were lucky enough to survive.

It's important to know that the predecessor of the Great Qi Dynasty also had a terrestrial deity presiding over it!
"Is this Suiyun Mountain?"

At this moment, Bai Chijing had arrived at the foot of Suiyun Mountain. He was gazing into the distance at the towering mountain that seemed to reach into the clouds, yet was filled with a deathly aura. This was undoubtedly a very special mountain, because such a high mountain should not, in theory, have gathered so much deathly energy.

Before Bai Chijing could take another look, he found himself surrounded by a cultivator on each side.

"Is this your first time visiting Suiyun Armor City? You must be here for the Ten Thousand Yin Cave. Do you wish to have someone oversee the sealing of the tomb? I have the contact information for the twenty-eight tomb-sealing masters of Suiyun Armor City. All you need is..."

"Shangxiu, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. He does have the contact information for twenty-eight tomb sealers, but only two of them are famous. In other words, only two can be called array cultivators. But I'm different. Although I only have five, they are all famous!"

"Shangxiu, his place is expensive!"

"You get what you pay for!"

"..."

These two are probably competitors, so they didn't give each other any face at this moment.

Bai Chijing watched this scene with amusement, because, upon closer examination, this was his first real step into the world of cultivation. In the past few years, he had had very little social interaction, focusing solely on advancing further on the path of cultivation.

Although I had gone down the mountain before, it was all to undergo tribulation.

However, Bai Chijing did not want to waste any more time, so he clasped his hands in a salute to the two of them and said with a smile, "Tu Jianshan, Bai Chijing, greet you two fellow Daoists."

"Shangxiu Baichi Landscape... Hmm?"

"Bai Chijing!"

The two men were taken aback for a moment, then quickly clasped their hands in greeting.

One of them said, "Pei Yuan'an greets Senior Brother Bai! Thirteen years ago, I cultivated at Tu Jian Mountain, but due to insufficient talent, I had to leave the mountain after reaching the middle stage of the External Realm."

The other said, "Ning Wenyuan, a third-generation disciple of the Human-Ghost Palace, greets Brother Bai!"

These two must have some kind of background to be able to organize such a business in Suiyun Mountain!
