Immortals Step into Heaven

In the vast, mysterious Thousand City Sea, the turbulent waves crash day after day against the rocky shores of countless islands. Within this unique region, a unique alchemy method flourishes. Because rare and precious elixirs are so rare and difficult to find, many cultivators have developed alternative methods, using the inner core of fierce demonic beasts as the key ingredient in their elixir creation.

Across the Thousand City Sea, across the scattered islands, lush jungles, and deep valleys, demonic beasts roam aplenty. Their variety and numbers are remarkable. From massive, thick-skinned beasts of the wilderness to cunning, agile, and astonishingly fast foxes and leopards, they range from the most diverse to the most diverse. They roar and howl in the dense forests, asserting their territorial sovereignty; or hunker down atop precipitous mountain peaks. The demonic beasts of the sea are endless to slay and consume. For the cultivators of the Thousand City Sea, these ubiquitous beasts become a vital source of inner elixir and the refining of elixirs.

Zheng Yuan, who had always been quite cautious, was instantly delighted upon hearing this, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation. He hurriedly asked, "Old Bai, are you serious? You're really not lying to me?" Old Bai's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. He said slowly, "At my age, how could I lie to you about such a thing? This is absolutely true, and there is no lie." Zheng Yuan lowered his head, frowning slightly, and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, and muttered to himself, "It seems that this trip to the Thousand Cities Sea Area is inevitable. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I must go."

Seeing that Lao Bai had seen so much and was full of anticipation, Zheng Yuan quickly pulled out the mysterious Shura Sha Tian Jue from his pocket and handed it to Lao Bai with both hands. His eyes were full of earnestness and doubt, and he said, "Lao Bai, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Can you help me see if this technique can be successfully practiced by a mortal? This is extremely important to me."

Old Bai took the manual with a solemn expression. His eyes instantly became focused and profound as he carefully studied it word by word. His fingers lightly traced the pages of the manual. After a long moment, he slowly raised his head, a look of wonder and approval on his face. He said, "This method is truly profound and mysterious. The most unexpected thing is that it can actually allow people without spiritual roots to practice. This completely breaks the conventional understanding of cultivation."

After saying this, Lao Bai fell into deep thought again, the wrinkles on his forehead becoming more pronounced with thought. After a long while, he frowned and said solemnly, "However, this technique is also very dangerous. The greatest difficulty lies in the fusion of the residual souls of tens of thousands of people. This is no easy task. The slightest mistake, once a hidden danger is left, will inevitably lead to unimaginable problems for the practitioner in the future, and may even endanger their own life and the foundation of their cultivation."

Zheng Yuan's face was filled with anxiety and anticipation. His eyes were filled with eagerness, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his voice trembled as he asked, "Don't you have any other ideas?" Seeing this, Lao Bai shook his head slightly, a look of helplessness on his face. He slowly said, "I really don't have any ideas, but you do!"

Zheng Yuan suddenly looked confused, his eyes wide open, his brows furrowed, and he looked straight at Lao Bai. He said in disbelief, "Are you kidding me, Lao Bai? If I had a way, would I still ask you?"

Lao Bai waved his hand, signaling Zheng Yuan to calm down, and patiently explained, "You do have a way. Your spirit beast, Xiao Hei, possesses the ability to devour souls. Do you know what this means? It has a powerful inhibitory effect on residual souls. Think about it, the key to this technique lies in the perfect fusion of souls, and for a mortal body to fuse nearly ten thousand residual souls is almost an impossible task. Even if someone wanted to force the fusion, the slightest mistake could easily lead to the dangerous situation of going astray. But if Xiao Hei is there to provide a deterrent, the situation is very different. Its presence can greatly increase the possibility of success of this technique. When fusing nearly ten thousand residual souls, Xiao Hei is like a last resort, stabilizing the situation, making the fusion process smoother, and greatly increasing the probability of success.

Zheng Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. His originally furrowed brows relaxed instantly, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he said anxiously: "Old Bai, what do you think the chances of success are?" Old Bai touched his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "If Xiao Hei can use his soul-devouring ability to the fullest, and there are no unexpected disturbances in the process, the chances of success may be as high as 60%. However, there are many variables in the fusion of residual souls, and we still cannot take it lightly." Zheng Yuan nodded slightly, clenching his fists. He was worried about the unknown risks, but a glimmer of hope was already burning in his heart.

"But it's best to wait until that girl reaches the Xiantian realm before taking up this matter," Lao Bai warned with a serious face and a stern gaze. His eyes revealed his caution about the matter, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was worried about something.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuan frowned slightly, a trace of doubt rising in his heart. He asked, "Why do we have to wait until that girl reaches the Xiantian realm? What's the point of this?" Old Bai's expression was solemn, and he slowly said, "This technique is extremely dangerous, requiring extremely high foundation and control of spiritual power from the practitioner. The girl's realm is still shallow. If she acts rashly, she will be unable to withstand the impact of the fusion process and the backlash of the residual souls. Only by reaching the Xiantian realm can her internal energy become powerful and flow freely. When fusing with nearly ten thousand residual souls, she will have greater confidence in controlling this powerful and violent force. She can also cooperate with Xiao Hei at critical moments to jointly deal with various emergencies. Only in this way can the success of the technique be increased. Otherwise, the slightest mistake will lead to eternal damnation."

Zheng Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and said with a firm look: "Let's do as you say!" After that, a faint light appeared around him, and his figure gradually faded. In a moment, he withdrew from the mysterious bracelet space. After leaving the training room, a burst of laughter came to his face, mixed with some cheerful playful sounds. Zheng Yuan looked up and saw Ling'er playing with Xiao Hei, the little fox, and the soul-seeking mouse in the hall. Ling'er's eyes were bright and full of smiles, and the crisp laughter echoed in the air like a silver bell. Xiao Hei was jumping around, showing off his unique little skills from time to time, attracting the little fox and the soul-seeking mouse to watch curiously, and sometimes they would come forward to interact, what a happy scene.
