Practice begins with immortality

"Everyone, be quiet!" Along with this thunderous roar, the general's majestic voice instantly resounded throughout the venue. The originally noisy scene was as if it had been cast under a spell, and it became silent in an instant.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the general, who stood on the platform with his head held high and his chest puffed out, his eyes scanning the area below. After a brief pause, the general slowly asked, "Sergeant Wang, could you please tell me what zodiac sign this Holy Spirit Body you cultivated belongs to? What are its characteristics?"

Hearing the general's question, Wang Bai in the crowd stepped forward and walked out of the line, and answered without hesitation: "General, what I have cultivated is the holy spirit body related to thunder and fire." Before he finished speaking, a strong and explosive aura suddenly emanated from his body, as if he was possessed by thunder and fire, which was chilling.

The general nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "It is indeed so! Few people know that those who cultivate the Dharma Body undoubtedly have a much deeper foundation than ordinary Ascendants. Judging from your current condition, your strength is roughly close to that of a Class B. Moreover, lightning and fire are among the most powerful and fierce existences among all the Dao principles. The fusion of the two will surely be astonishingly powerful!"

The general paused for a moment before speaking again, "Judging from the current situation, you possess a divine body closely related to thunder and fire. However, according to your information, you primarily cultivate the principles of wind and thunder. In my opinion, you might also cultivate the principles of fire. In this way, the wind will fuel the fire, and combined with the inherently fierce nature of thunder and fire, your strength will surely reach new heights!"

Finally, the general earnestly warned, "Sergeant Wang, you must practice diligently. I have heard of examples of people who have ascended through the Dharma Body. Without exception, they have all successfully broken through and become True Immortals!"

"Definitely going to break the calamity? No wonder this person is unwilling to join. It turns out we are too self-righteous." After hearing the general's words, Xiao Lin and the few people who were there at the time suddenly understood.

…………

"Okay, the top ten people with the most kills have been counted. They are: Huang Jingzhi, Wang Mu, Zhong Xuanzhi... Zhang Hansheng, Wu Zhiqi!" As the general's loud voice rang out, the entire square instantly became silent, and everyone listened attentively to the final result with bated breath.

"The top three will be rewarded with twenty taels of magic gold, and the first place winner will also receive an extra rare immortal weapon! As for the bottom three, they will be rewarded with ten taels of magic gold, and the remaining four top-ranked warriors will also receive a generous reward of fifteen taels of magic gold!" This announcement exploded in the crowd like a thunderclap, triggering bursts of exclamations and envy.

"Okay, after you return to the camp, all the rewards will be delivered to your respective residences. Next, please take a rest. In half an hour, a special warship will come to pick you up and return." As soon as the general finished speaking, everyone began to whisper to each other. Some people were very excited and shared their joy with their companions; some people showed regret on their faces, secretly worrying about why they could not squeeze into the top ten.

However, at this moment, the general's body suddenly shook, a cloud of mist appeared under his feet, and the whole person rose into the air like a nimble bird, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

After that, the scene gradually became lively. Many people flocked to the top ten figures on the list, most of whom were acquaintances of the top ten winners. However, Wang Bo was an exception. He was a newcomer and didn't know any of the people who came to him.

"Sergeant Wang is truly extraordinary! He was able to accomplish such a feat as sanctification of the physical body in the lower realm. It really makes those of us who have lived in the upper realm since childhood feel extremely ashamed!" A man said to Wang Bai with admiration on his face.

Wang Bai smiled slightly and responded modestly: "Your Excellency is too kind. I am just lucky. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. I was injured on the battlefield before and need to go back to recuperate." After that, he bowed to the other party, then turned and left.

Wang Bai found an excuse and left. "Are you interested in this immortal weapon?" a male voice rang out in Wang Bai's ears. Not only him, but almost all the top ten had heard the message. The person who sent the message was naturally Jiang Jingzhi, who ranked first.

...........................

Half an hour later, in a cabin inside the warship, Wang Bai looked like he was resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was communicating with others through his spiritual thoughts.

"Are you interested in the immortal weapon?"

"Brother Huang, what do you mean?"

"I don't plan to keep the rewarded immortal weapon. I already have one, and another one is useless. It's better to sell it for magic gold."

"Everyone, this is a rare opportunity! Immortal weapons can greatly improve our combat power. And normally an Immortal weapon costs 30,000 Immortal Stones. I'll take a small loss, so 20,000 will do."

..................................

Over time, Wang Bai finally understood what the so-called immortal weapons were. They were essentially magical weapons crafted from immortal materials. Some of them were also items that reached the limit of innate spiritual treasures in the lower realms and remained intact during the ascension process. After ascending, they were allowed to absorb immortal spiritual energy over the years. For example, the killing sword in Wang Bai's body had been passively gathering and absorbing immortal spiritual energy, but Wang Bai felt that it was a little different.

As for why Jiang Jingzhi wanted to sell his immortal weapons, it was naturally to raise Dharma Gold. Immortal Stones and Dharma Gold are interchangeable currencies. One ounce of Dharma Gold can be exchanged for one hundred immortal stones, but generally no one would trade Dharma Gold for immortal stones, as the former is more valuable. Most of the time, one hundred and fifty or even two hundred immortal stones would be needed to exchange for Dharma Gold, and there was no demand for it. However, it was clear that Jiang Jingzhi had his own connections.

However, Wang Bo had no intention of buying it. Firstly, he had no use for it, and secondly, he was short of money and could not afford it!

Finally, after some bargaining, the immortal weapon was bought by the fourth bidder for a total of 17,000 immortal stones and 10 taels of magic gold.

Another half hour passed before the warship arrived at Xuanyu Valley. Wang Bai and the others disembarked and returned to their base.
