Mysterious mirror hanging high

[Year 129 of the Changsheng calendar]

Ye Xingyun builds his foundation.

The Ye family even invited fellow cultivators from surrounding islands to celebrate the Ye family's young patriarch. Every cultivator who has established their foundation must hold a foundation-building ceremony, a unique event in the entire Falling Star Sea.

[Year 130 of the Changsheng calendar]

Ye Xingyun was in a stable foundation-building state. He was so still that he wanted to move. He went out for a walk and found a white lotus flower on an unknown deserted island. It was a very high-grade spiritual object for forming a pill.

[Year 132 of the Changsheng calendar]

Ye Xingyun accidentally encountered an ancient secret realm and picked up the remains of an ancient monk in the secret realm, gaining a lot.

[Year 135 of the Changsheng calendar]

Ye Xingyun happened to encounter two late Jindan cultivators fighting for an opportunity to form a Nascent Soul. Both of them died together. Ye Xingyun picked up two Jindan cultivators' legacies and a Nascent Soul Pill that increases the success rate of cultivators advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

[Year 151 of the Changsheng calendar]

Ye Xingyun's aunt Ye Lingyue successfully formed a Nascent Soul cultivator and was promoted to a Nascent Soul cultivator. The Ye family now had two Nascent Soul cultivators, and was extremely prosperous at the time.

[Year 160 of the Changsheng calendar]

Ye Xingyun is in the middle stage of foundation building.

[Year 189 of the Changsheng calendar]

Ye Xingyun made an appointment with other descendants of the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan to explore the secret realm of foundation building [Aoyuan] together in the future. Before leaving, he was injured because he went astray in his practice and had no choice but to break the appointment.

[Year 190 of the Changsheng calendar]

It is said that a demon soul has revived in the Aoyuan Secret Realm. Several direct descendants of the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan who entered the secret realm to explore were not spared. The other immortal clans were shocked, and several Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces to break into the secret realm. However, the revived demon soul had long since disappeared.

[Year 200 of the Changsheng calendar]

Ye Xingyun's cultivation was firmly established at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. On the last day of the Zhiming Treasure Mirror's observation, he bowed to the sky:

"Ye Xingyun of the Ye family on Dragon Slaying Island in the Eastern Region of the Falling Star Sea respectfully welcomes all fellow Taoists!"

The image in the mirror went out.

"The immortal item's [Avoiding Misfortune and Attracting Good Fortune] is truly extraordinary."

Xuan Qingzi marveled, "Ninety-nine percent of the secular dynasties in the Immortal Continent have no immortal cultivators. Being able to reincarnate into a wealthy and ordinary family is already a rare good fortune. Generally, immortal cultivators in the Immortal Selection Palace have to spend decades seeking immortal fate before they have the opportunity to step into the world of immortal cultivation."

"Fellow Daoist Ye was not only born into the Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, but he is also a direct descendant of the Immortal Clan. This luck alone is enough to make his path to Immortality smooth."

"The Ye family's ancestor is also extremely lucky. Originally, with his talent, luck, skills and calculations, he would have only reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in this life. Now that he has a grandson like Fellow Daoist Ye, with the connection of fate, there is a chance that he will become a Divine Transformation."

Li Fan, who had awakened his "Late Bloomer" destiny, was envious. He thought to himself that the two elders who had reincarnated earlier were both good people, so he might as well reincarnate earlier and associate with them. His path to immortality would surely be much easier. So he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Immortal, let me be the next one."

Xuan Qingzi nodded and said, "Li Fan, don't forget that the early stages of [Late Bloomer] are not easy. Seek immortal fate as soon as possible, otherwise your mortal lifespan will not be able to withstand the wasted time."

Li Fan thanked Xuan Qingzi and stepped into the Heavenly Gate. The small words on the edge of the mirror changed again -

[Year 201 of the Changsheng calendar]

Li Fan was born in an ordinary peasant family.

"Born, born!"

The midwife shouted, "It's a boy!"

"Okay, okay, my Wang family has an heir!"

A middle-aged man with a dark face smiled and held the newborn Li Fan in his arms, with deep wrinkles in the corners of his eyes due to joy.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the house.

"What's going on outside?"

The man who had just had a son was a little confused. He pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside. When he heard the content of the noise, his face turned pale.

"The horse thieves are coming! The horse thieves are coming!"

Horse thief!

The midwife in the room and the peasant woman who had just given birth both looked disheartened. “Didn’t the village just pay the life-saving money last month?”

The noise was getting closer, and everyone in the house could faintly hear the horse thieves talking.

"The soldiers are only a day's walk away. Hurry up and get the food first! Kill anyone you meet, regardless of gender. They won't give us time to enjoy ourselves!"

Before they could do anything, the wooden door, which was not very sturdy to begin with, was kicked into several pieces with a bang, and two burly men with machetes and red eyes rushed in.

"Sir, spare your life!"

The man holding the baby only begged for mercy before one of the bandits chopped him in half, cutting the baby in his arms into two pieces...

"I really am..."

Li Fan, who had just been born and was full of confidence, only had time to swear before he felt his consciousness go black and there was no sound anymore.

The picture is broken.

The remaining people in the Changsheng Hall looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Xuan Qingzi.

"What are you looking at? This is just bad luck."

Xuan Qingzi's tone was calm, as if he was used to this. "Infant mortality is common, and fate is not everything. Do you think that by entering the Immortal Selection Hall and becoming an immortal seed, you will be guaranteed ascension? There is no such thing in the world."

"They say that seeking immortality is all about striving, but I think if you want to remain immortal, you must strive when necessary, but in the end, it all comes down to stability."

Xuan Qingzi shook his head: "However, in Li Fan's situation, no matter how stable he is, it's useless. It can only be said that this is fate, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"Who's coming next?"

"Xuan Ce is willing to go."

"It's that [Linglong Huixin]..." Jing Yu said silently in his heart.

Yun Xuance bowed to everyone and entered the Heavenly Gate in a neat and tidy manner.

[Year 201 of the Changsheng calendar]

Yun Xuance was born in a wealthy merchant family. She was the third child and her neighbors called her Sanniang.

Although the family was quite wealthy, they favored boys over girls, and Yun Xuance was not much valued by her parents. However, she did not ask for much, but just used the little pocket money she had every month to buy some enlightenment books and learn to read and write.

[Year 207 of the Changsheng calendar]

Yun Xuance was seven years old that year. She memorized a book on [Qi Attraction Technique] at home. It took her three days to draw Qi into her body and let the Qi circulate around her body. She became a Qi training practitioner and accumulated some spiritual energy in her body.

Afterwards, he used this meager spiritual energy to form a spell, and a small jade plate phantom appeared in the air. He bit his finger again, and squeezed out a drop of blood that fell on the jade plate phantom.

In an instant, the essence and blood in the jade plate dissipated, and the strange image of a stone tablet without words emerged.

"Earth Spiritual Root..."

The seven-year-old Yun Xuance frowned, then bent over his desk and wrote a book called "Thick Earth Secret". He then sighed and said, "Let's practice it for now."

In the Hall of Longevity, Jing Yu suddenly realized, "Yes, Yun Xuance comes from a family of immortal cultivators. Although she doesn't have spiritual roots, her parents are both Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan. Her status in the clan should be much higher than that of ordinary people. It's not surprising that she knows a few immortal cultivation techniques."

Then I thought, this book [Qi Yin Shu] which helps ordinary people to draw Qi into their bodies and embark on the path to immortality is indeed a common product and can be found everywhere in the heavens and all realms.

[Year 215 of the Changsheng calendar]

Yun Xuance had no resources for cultivation, having spent eight years simply absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, barely reaching the second level of Qi training. Fortunately, Yun Xuance wasn't in a rush, simply slowly absorbing the spiritual energy, spending most of his time practicing various techniques.

However, fifteen years old is the age for girls to come of age. In this year, Yun Xuance's family wanted to marry her to a local scholar who was over forty years old as a concubine.

Yun Xuance knew that his fate with this family was over, so he simply left a box of gold in his own boudoir as a token of gratitude for the family's raising him for fifteen years, and then left without saying goodbye.
