Practice begins with immortality

"what?"

Heavy footsteps echoed from the bronze hall, followed by four figures emitting a cold aura. They had human forms, but were lifeless. Their lifeless eyes, metal bodies, and lifeless auras all indicated they were mere puppets.

"You lowly mortal, why don't you kneel down when you see God's messenger?" They said coldly when they saw Wang Bai.

Then there was a crisp "pop" sound, and the originally extremely hard puppet was so fragile in front of Wang Bo and was smashed to pieces by his palm.

"A golden elixir puppet driven by a mid-grade spirit stone? Quite interesting." After saying that, Wang Bai waved his hand to collect the scattered spirit stones and fragments, then stepped into the bronze hall.

As soon as he stepped into the Bronze Hall, a mysterious voice rang out in Wang Bai's mind: "Middle stage of the Golden Core, and... the Nascent Soul of Body Refining! You are definitely not from this world!"

"Huh?" Wang Bai was startled and looked around vigilantly.

"Hahahaha, God helps me! I finally have the chance to leave this small world! As long as I take over your body, I can leave here." The mysterious voice sounded again, full of excitement and greed.

Then, a tiny pale figure appeared above Wang Bai's head and instantly drilled into it.

"I actually have a pure body. God is so kind to me!" the figure said excitedly.

Then he planned to enter Wang Bai's sea of ​​consciousness and take over his body, but at this moment, a powerful soul power hit him.

"What a powerful spiritual consciousness. I didn't expect that you not only have a strong body refining realm, but are also strong in the way of spirit and soul. But unfortunately, the power of your spirit and soul is only close to the early stage of the Nascent Soul, while I am a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul, and I specialize in the way of spirit and soul. In terms of spiritual power, I can be compared with the Venerable God of Transformation. Even if I am injured now, it is not difficult for me to take over your body." The man sneered.

"So give up, hand over your body, and I will release a portion of your soul, allowing you to reincarnate." The man said to Wang Bai, as if he was sure of victory. However, he only received an invisible wave in response.

Then, the man was trapped by an invisible force.

"What a powerful realm of truth, but do you think you can defeat me with this? It's useless!" Before he finished speaking, a pitch-black sword shadow pierced through his soul and began to devour his spirit crazily.

"Ah...what is this?" the man screamed in horror.

"My life-saving magic weapon." Wang Bai snorted coldly.

"Impossible, your cultivation level is only the middle stage of the Golden Core, how is it possible for you to forge your own magic weapon?" the man shouted in disbelief.

"There are many things you don't know." Wang Bai replied coldly.

As time went by, the dark sword shadow continued to devour the man's soul, and finally devoured it completely.

When the man's soul was completely devoured, Wang Bai opened his eyes and summoned the Blood Soul Killing Sword.

"Let me see where he comes from." Wang Bai said softly, stroking the sword.

After the Blood Soul Killing Sword devoured the Soul Splitting Knife and became a magical weapon, it gained new abilities. It could not only devour the vitality and cultivation of cultivators, but also absorb their spirits. Before refining, as long as there was no confidentiality restriction within, Wang Bai could search for the memories within.

As Wang Bai searched through the man's memories, he finally understood his origins: his name was Qing Shu, and he was an elder of the Chunling Sect.

The Pure Spirit Sect was a power that once controlled the Desolate Realm. Its high-ranking cultivators were the legendary ancient immortals and gods of the Desolate Realm. But despite their self-proclaimed immortality, in their original world, the Tianyuan Realm, the Pure Spirit Sect wasn't considered a major force.

But to Wang Bo, who came from the Middle World, their power was immense: they had nearly ten Divine Transformation Masters, including an old ancestor who had reached the Perfect Divine Transformation stage. They controlled three small worlds, including the Desolate World, which they used to cultivate spiritual herbs and train low-level disciples.

Later, near the sect's headquarters in the Tianyuan Realm, they discovered a sixth-tier spiritual medicine: the Life Essence Fruit. Consuming it could extend the lifespan of a Spiritual Transformation cultivator by four thousand years. And if combined with supplementary herbs to create a pill, it could even allow a Spiritual Transformation cultivator to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

After the people of Chunling Sect discovered it, they hid the Life Yuan Fruit and blocked the news, intending to refine it into a pill to help their ancestor break through to the realm of refining emptiness.

Those who have reached the stage of transformation into spirits are called venerables, and those who have reached the stage of refinement into emptiness are called great powers. As long as there are cultivators of refinement into emptiness in charge, the Pure Spirit Sect can truly become a major force.

Unfortunately, before the ingredients for refining the elixir were fully gathered, news of the Life Essence Fruit reached others, and nearly ten beings at the Perfect Divine Transformation stage came to vie for the Life Essence Fruit.

Qing Shu, on the other hand, fought another cultivator who had reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage in the Desolate Realm. Although he killed his enemy, he was also seriously injured. He was forced to refine his Nascent Soul into the Bronze Palace, a magical artifact, to become a weapon spirit in order to prolong his life. However, as a price, he would have to sleep at regular intervals.

Later, Qing Shu discovered that the connection between the Desolate Realm and the Tianyuan Realm had been severed. As a sect elder, he naturally understood that the Pure Spirit Sect was in imminent danger. However, Qing Shu did not want to be trapped in the Desolate Realm forever. The Desolate Realm was a small world. Despite some modifications, cultivation could only reach the Nascent Soul stage at most. He could not tear through space and cross the void to reach other worlds. He had to find a way out on his own.

The myriad worlds were boundless, with countless worlds, and each world would pull the other in. Small worlds would be pulled in by medium worlds, and large worlds would pull in medium worlds. So, theoretically, as long as he lived long enough, he would one day see the desolate world being pulled in by another large world or medium world, and then he would have the opportunity to embark on the immortal path again.

Qing Shu made preparations for this: he arranged a formation to ensure his own safety. Afterwards, he used various methods to teach the survivors of the war in the Desolate Realm the techniques of physical training. When a strong person emerged from among them, he would harvest and devour their essence and soul to replenish his own energy.

Given the environment of the Wild Realm, it is basically impossible for a Nascent Soul-level powerhouse to be born. Even those who achieve this through trickery like the Blood Demon are different from true Nascent Soul-level powerhouses. Physical cultivators are already at a disadvantage in terms of spirit and soul, and are also suppressed by their cultivation. Even if their true meaning realm is high, they will be devoured by Qing Shu.

In this way, he lived until now, until he met Wang Bo, an outsider.
