Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 4 Longevity and Longsight

Xuan Qingzi was internally grumbling, but his expression remained calm. He spoke with a friendly expression, "My dear Xuan Ce, your destiny is truly remarkable. The so-called 'Exquisite Wisdom' not only inspires your intelligence, but also makes you naturally more adept at strategic planning than other cultivators. You can even master calculation-related spells instantly. Furthermore, no matter what spell you practice, your cultivation speed is approximately 50% faster than that of an average person, and the power of the spell after perfection will increase by 10% to 30% depending on the spell's level. Its auxiliary effects are among the best among spiritual-grade destiny."

After activating [Exquisite Wisdom Heart], Yun Xuance's temperament changed obviously, and even his eyes seemed much more lively. Upon hearing the words, he just bowed and quietly withdrew.

So... there are only two people left.

Xuan Qingzi's gaze turned and fell on Jing Yu and a little fat man beside him.

Jing Yu and the little fat man exchanged a glance, and finally the little fat man coughed lightly and took the lead. "Old Immortal, my name is Ye Xingyun. Uh... could you please help me take a look?"

Xuan Qingzi nodded, followed suit, and performed a magic trick, shining the mirror light on Ye Xingyun.

boom!

A golden light burst out, and even Ye Xingyun's fat face turned golden. Four golden seal characters appeared on the mirror surface, which read: [Seek good fortune and avoid disaster].

Ye Xingyun widened his eyes and said excitedly: "It's gold, it's gold!"

Xuan Qingzi was shocked again: Which Taoist master planned this?

It's no wonder that he thought too much. After all, he has been on duty in the Hall of Eternal Life for tens of thousands of years and has been selected as an immortal dozens of times, but where has he ever seen such a scene?

"Friend Ye, your fate of [Seeking Good Luck and Avoiding Misfortune] is somewhat special. It is a rare multi-grade fate, containing all kinds of ordinary, fine, spiritual, and immortal qualities, but the effects increase in sequence."

"The [Attracting Good Fortune and Avoiding Bad Fortune] of ordinary and fine goods will only make your luck a little better than that of ordinary people."

"When you reach the Spiritual Rank, you'll gain many more magical abilities. The Immortal Rank's [Avoiding Misfortune and Attracting Good Fortune] is even more remarkable. You're born with great luck, and as long as the situation isn't certain to end in death, you can often turn misfortune into good fortune."

"But then again, with the immortal [Avoiding Misfortune and Attracting Good Fortune] destiny at my side, how could I possibly encounter a situation where I'm certain to die?"

"As for the Divine Grade… In recent eras, no Divine Grade [Attracting Good Luck and Avoiding Evil] has appeared. Is it because the probability is too low, or is this destiny limited to the Immortal Grade? There is no definitive answer yet, so let's not discuss it."

Ye Xingyun rubbed his chubby cheeks and murmured, "Damn it, I was such an unlucky guy in my previous life. I never thought that my luck would turn around after I died..."

Xuan Qingzi was afraid that this little fat man was a relative of some important figure or a pawn, so he didn't dare to get too involved with him. He turned to Jing Yu and said, "My friend, you are the only one left. When I have activated your destiny, I will send you to the lower world to reincarnate!"

"Junior Jing Yu, respectfully invites the immortal's precious mirror to reflect me!" Jing Yu imitated Yun Xuance's words and bowed. Before he raised his head, he saw a ray of light enveloping him.

The next moment, divine light filled the air, and the bronze mirror that was originally hanging in front of Xuan Qingzi was once again hanging high in the air. Strips of colorful light fell down like silk, and amid the exclamations of everyone in the hall, they wrapped Jing Yu layer by layer, as if he was wearing a colorful coat.

This is……

Jing Yu looked up at the bronze mirror in a daze. Four colorful seal characters slowly took shape, completely filling the entire mirror surface.

【Long life and good health】

Suffering from the plague...

Xuan Qingzi rolled his eyes. Tens of thousands of years ago, when he was on duty, the Lord of the Hall of Longevity had made a prophecy that "one can find longevity in the Hall of Longevity". Xuan Qingzi just thought that the Hall of Longevity was full of spiritual energy and suitable for cultivation, and regarded it as a lucky word from the Lord to himself, the immortal official on duty. He never thought that it would happen here today.

"A prophecy from tens of thousands of years ago has actually come true right here. The Dao Lord's calculations are truly terrifying! Could it be that this person before me can truly become the third Dao Lord with a longevity in all the heavens and myriad worlds?"

Thinking of this, Xuan Qingzi felt a chill in his heart: "Oh no, two divine-level figures in one palace, this has never happened before. If it were really calculated by a Taoist master, it would be fine. If not, I'm afraid this group of people were born to meet the calamity. Is the immortal world going to be in chaos..."

"I'm their guide on the immortal path, so how could we not be connected by fate? It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse, but I'm afraid I'll be implicated..."

Xuan Qingzi was originally a calm and peaceful person who devoted himself to spiritual practice, otherwise he would not have been on duty in the Hall of Longevity for tens of thousands of years. Now he felt that he was inexplicably drawn into a vortex, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Immortal, Immortal?"

Jing Yu's call brought Xuan Qingzi back to his senses. He felt a bitter taste in his tongue, but a smile remained on his face. "Fellow Daoist Jing, this is incredible! Since this [Eternal Life] can be called a divine destiny, it must have reached the pinnacle in some aspect..."

"It is divided into two parts: [Longevity] and [Long Vision]."

"Among them, [Immortality] is self-evident. One must know that the path to immortality is long, like a prisoner crossing a sea of ​​suffering. Refining Qi, building a foundation, achieving the Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, and Spiritualization... one can truly ascend to heaven step by step."

"But if one wishes to ascend to heaven, life span is the first step. The [Immortality] element in one's destiny allows the holder to live an infinite life. The once thrilling road to heaven becomes a painstaking process for the immortals. Practitioners in all the heavens and worlds seek immortality and freedom. The immortals have already achieved immortality, and the next step is nothing more than seeking freedom."

"And [Long Vision] means everlasting hearing and vision. Those with this fate not only have sharp hearing and eyesight, and a nimble mind, but also possess the ability to destroy delusion and evil, preserve truth and break illusions. All illusions in the heavens and myriad realms are ineffective against this fate. Even when breaking through realms, they can maintain a clear mind and resist the invasion of inner demons... They are born with an invincible heart of Tao."

Jing Yu had just awakened his destiny. Although he was still a soul, he felt his ears and eyes suddenly became clear, and everything in the hall was suddenly clear to him. However, souls cannot breathe, otherwise he would have heard everyone gasping.

He could even feel the weight of the gazes cast upon him by the people in the hall, and he didn't know how much envy and jealousy were in them.

Jing Yu met Li Jiangmei's gaze at this moment, but found that the inexplicable affinity of this beauty who had awakened the fate of [Alluring Beauty] had disappeared, and he was surprised: Could it be that Li Jiangmei's fate is essentially an illusion of extremely high status?

"Since the fates of all ten of you are complete, I will send you to reincarnation. However, I need to say a few more words here."

Xuan Qingzi said slowly, "Although the matter of the Changsheng Palace's immortal selection is not a secret, the immortals in the immortal world are not monolithic, and there are many grudges and entanglements. When you go to the lower world, it is best not to reveal your background... This is one of the reasons."

"The road to immortality is long, and fellow Daoists are hard to come by. Since the ten of you have the good fortune to gather in the Hall of Eternal Life, you are Daoists seeking the Tao together. After descending to the mortal world, you can help each other."

"But if someone develops a feud with someone else, and it gets to the point of life and death, we won't intervene. After all, the path to immortality is difficult, and achieving enlightenment requires great struggle. The opportunity to achieve enlightenment lies ahead, so it's common for even fellow Taoists to fall out... This is the second reason."

"Third... This time, the small world I've chosen for you is called 'Xianzhou Realm'. It has abundant spiritual energy and rich resources, but not many immortal cultivators, and there are large areas of undeveloped wilderness."

"This world's history of immortal cultivation stretches back millions of years, but it experienced a hiatus due to a catastrophe that swept across the entire world. The new immortal civilization is less than a hundred thousand years old, so the cultivation techniques and magical powers of most of the immortal cultivators in this world are not very profound. It's much safer than those senior realms with hundreds of millions of years of history, where geniuses carrying ancient heritages gather and run rampant..."

"But precisely because of this, cultivation has yet to become widespread among the mortal world. Your identities in the lower realms are random. If you're unlucky, you might never meet a cultivator in your entire life, and then it's difficult to find a chance to become an immortal."

"That's all I have to say. I'm going to send you to the lower realms to reincarnate... Wait."

Xuan Qingzi suddenly paused, his face strange. He stood there for a few breaths before returning to normal. He coughed softly and said, "I was originally going to send you two to reincarnate together, but the Palace Master just issued an order, asking me to change the rules of this Immortal Selection."
