Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

"Give away... half of your immortal power?"

Xiao Bei's voice was trembling, and he could hardly believe his ears.

This mysterious old man, after struggling to pass the test, actually made such an excessive request!

You must know that for a cultivator, immortal power is the foundation of his life, the source of strength, and the cornerstone of his path.

Losing the immortal power is like a mortal losing his legs or an eagle breaking its wings, unable to move!

What's more, he, Xiao Bei, is the eternal ruler of the fairy world, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the fairy world and blessing all living things. How could he damage his own foundation?

The old man seemed to have anticipated Xiao Bei's reaction. A faint smile still hung on his calm face. That smile seemed to contain some deep meaning, and also seemed to hide some kind of teasing. "Yes, half of your immortal power. This is the price of leaving here."

Xiao Bei's chest heaved violently. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, causing a stinging pain.

The pain only made him more sober. He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Senior, what do you mean? I have passed the test, so why should I pay such a huge price?"

The old man stroked his beard leisurely and said slowly, "Passing the test only proves your eligibility to leave. But to truly leave, you still need to pay the corresponding 'toll'. This is the rule here, and it is also the law of heaven."

"Rules? Laws?" Xiao Bei sneered. "Senior, are you teasing me? I've roamed the Immortal Realm and have never heard of such ridiculous rules! Moreover, Heaven is so fair, how could it set such unfair laws?"

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Xiao Bei's question, but he quickly regained his composure: "Young man, what you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg of this vast universe. The depths of the way of heaven are far beyond your comprehension. The rules here are justified by their existence. If you are unwilling to abide by them, you will have to stay here forever."

Stay here forever?!

Xiao Bei's heart sank suddenly. He looked around. This seemingly empty space seemed to contain endless restrictions and constraints.

He could feel that the immortal power in his body was dissipating at an extremely slow speed. Although it was weak, it was real.

Time seemed to be stretched countless times, and every breath became extremely painful.

He thought of Beili, that cute and clingy figure, who might be anxiously waiting for him in the fairyland at this moment.

Have her bright eyes turned red from crying?

Has her passionate heart begun to despair?

He also thought of the fairyland, the home that had just experienced a catastrophe and was in need of reconstruction.

Countless creatures are looking forward to his return, hoping that he will lead them to rebuild order and restore their former glory.

Responsibility, commitment, bond...

Countless images flashed through Xiao Bei's mind rapidly, like a kaleidoscope, making him feel confused.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He knew that he had to make a decision at this moment, a decision that concerned his own destiny, Beili, and the entire fairy world!

Losing half of his immortal power would certainly greatly reduce his strength and might even affect his future practice.

But if it can bring back freedom, the chance to reunite with Beili, and the hope of protecting the fairyland, this price... does not seem completely unacceptable.

But, do I really have to give up half of my immortal power?

In Xiao Bei's heart, it seemed as if two little people were arguing fiercely.

One voice told him that a real man can bend and stretch, and as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood; another voice roared that he must never bow to this unfair fate, must not damage his own foundation, and must not make his loved ones sad and his enemies happy!

His eyes switched between determination and hesitation, and his breathing became heavier.

Suddenly, Xiao Bei had an idea and thought of a solution that might work.

"Senior," he raised his head, looking at the old man with burning eyes, "I have a favor to ask. Can you offer me some other means to exchange for the opportunity to leave this place?"

The old man was slightly stunned, as if a little surprised by Xiao Bei's proposal.

A hint of amusement flashed in his deep eyes: "Oh? How do you want to exchange?"

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and said slowly: "I am willing to do something for you, senior. No matter what it is, as long as it does not violate my moral principles and does not harm the interests of the immortal world, I will do my best!"

The corner of the old man's mouth curled up. He did not answer immediately, but looked at Xiao Bei quietly, as if evaluating the feasibility of this proposal.

At this moment, the entire space shook violently!

At this moment, the space suddenly vibrated, as if it was a warning to Xiao Bei for trying to break the rules.

The mysterious old man's expression suddenly became serious, and a barely perceptible solemnity appeared on his originally calm face.

There seemed to be an invisible force hidden in the air around, filling the entire space with an oppressive atmosphere.

Xiao Bei's brows were tightly furrowed. He felt a huge pressure coming from all directions, as if countless invisible hands were squeezing him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

His clothes rustled in the wind, and what reached his ears was no longer the quietness of the empty space, but the noisy sound of wind and the surge of air.

Despite this, he still stared at the old man, with an unyielding light in his eyes.

"Girl, are you outside?" Bei Li's voice faintly reached Xiao Bei's ears through the barrier of space. Although the voice was weak, it was clearly audible.

Xiao Bei's heart trembled, as if a warm electric current instantly surged into his whole body, dispelling the coldness in his heart.

Beili’s smile appeared in his mind, that pretty face, eyes full of concern and expectation.

Her warm hands had given him strength countless times when he was frustrated.

At this moment, these memories are like an invisible force, supporting him to move forward.

Suddenly, the vibration of space became more violent, and the entire treasure chest space seemed to collapse.

Xiao Bei felt his feet shaking and he almost couldn't stand.

He clenched his teeth, not letting his hesitation show.

He knew that any retreat might lead to all his efforts being wasted.

Outside, Elder Xuanfeng and others felt the abnormal fluctuations in space and their faces changed drastically.

Elder Xuanfeng said in a deep voice: "Not good, Xiao Bei is probably in great danger! We must find a way to save him as soon as possible!" Lingxuzi quickly activated the formation disk in his hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to find a flaw in the space.

The mysterious old man's gaze lingered on Xiao Bei for a moment, as if he was moved by Xiao Bei's persistence and determination.

He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of inexplicable meaning: "I have sensed your intentions. But the laws of nature are unpredictable, and the rules cannot be easily changed. However..."

His voice suddenly stopped, and his tone became more serious. "I can give you one last chance."

Xiao Bei's heart skipped a beat. He held his breath, waiting for the old man's next words.

The old man's eyes became as deep as the sea at this moment, as if he could see through Xiao Bei's heart.

He slowly extended a finger, pointing somewhere in space, his tone filled with unquestionable determination:

"Find it, a hidden spiritual pearl. Only then can you truly leave here."
