I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 598: Heaven Favors Mortals

"What do you mean?"

Jian Xuan became interested, especially after hearing the words "the will of Heaven," he became even more enthusiastic.

"It means that God loves mortals very much, but he doesn't like immortals very much, and can even be said to hate them."

Qin Fen's words were full of sarcasm, and he was mocking the high sky above them that never seemed to fall.

This attitude made Jian Xuan somewhat worried.

He was both amused and exasperated: "Brother Qin, we can talk about this in private. This isn't a good idea."

"What are you afraid of? Do you think God cares what we say about Him? In His eyes, we are nothing but rotten fish and shrimp, an insignificant grain of sand in the long river of time. Would you care about a grain of sand?"

"Don't worry, just swear if you want."

Qin Fen spoke with the air of a seasoned veteran, appearing remarkably carefree.

After all, he was someone who made a name for himself in the primordial era. His path to immortality was not interrupted back then, and everything he did was traceable and predictable.

Unlike Jian Xuan, who is now completely ignorant and has almost no one to ask.

Fortunately, Qin Fen was there to answer his questions.

"Then this 'shackle'..."

"To put it bluntly, once you ascend to immortality, this world begins to reject you."

Qin Fen patiently explained the basics to Jian Xuan, this "new immortal."

"Let me tell you, the Xuan Tian Realm actually has very strict rules from the heavens. After ascending to immortality, we are essentially entering the scope of these 'rules.' The further we go on the path to immortality, the more severe this rejection will become."

“At the beginning, like you, you feel an inescapable pressure on your body after becoming an immortal. The higher your cultivation level, the stronger this feeling becomes.”

"But none of that matters. You'll get used to it. Actually, this is a kind of indirect spiritual practice."

Qin Fen waved his hand, as if this discomfort had become a part of him, and if it were suddenly removed, it would be an even more terrifying situation!

He then went on to talk about this.

"Of course, if you break through to the Immortal Lord level, this feeling of rejection will disappear."

Upon hearing this, Jian Xuan's eyes lit up.

"If I break through to the Immortal Lord level, I won't be rejected anymore?"

"No, becoming a Celestial Lord means that the rules of Heaven no longer apply to you, so you have become an 'outcast' that is not allowed to exist!"

"Once you break through to the Immortal Lord level, you'd better get out of the Xuan Tian Realm as soon as possible, or the Heavenly Tribulation will turn you to ashes!"

Qin Fen's eyes suddenly turned cold, making Jian Xuan feel uneasy.

This hurdle was unavoidable.

Damn, Jian Xuan has never heard of such a thing before!

So it turns out that after becoming an immortal, I can no longer cultivate properly. If my talent is strong enough and I break through to the Immortal Lord level, then there will be no place for me in the Xuan Tian Realm.

Either you leave with dignity, or Heaven will help you leave with dignity.

However, if one relies on the will of Heaven to save face, the outcome will likely be unpleasant.

Jian Xuan instantly understood the key point.

No wonder, no wonder Qin Fen looked as if he had eaten a huge pile of excrement when he mentioned God, showing utter disgust and disrespect.

It seems the heavens truly favor "mortals," for they've imposed such strict rules on immortal cultivators.

Indeed, if they didn't have a special fondness for "mortal" cultivators, why would they have created so many rules to actively limit the ceiling of the strongest in the Xuan Tian Realm?

It's hard to say, hard to say.

The thoughts of this wicked God are truly unfathomable.

Jian Xuan couldn't help but swallow hard.

Qin Fen glanced at Jian Xuan and calmly said, "Don't worry, you're just getting started. These kinds of troubles are only for those with Immortal Lord level cultivation. You're still a beginner."

Jian Xuan: ...

He could only remain silent.

The two continued their journey. The trip from the Ancient Wilderness to the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect wouldn't take them long.

From afar, Jian Xuan saw the familiar mountain gate. He was filled with emotion and thought that he had left as the Grand Elder, only to encounter a change in his life. Now, more than two thousand years had passed. Although things had not changed beyond recognition, there was an indescribable sense of vicissitude.

The mountain gate looks even better now.

The atmosphere coming from inside was clearly not good.

"Brother Qin, we've arrived."

"Hmm, let me see... Hey, not bad, there's even a pseudo-immortal guarding it."

Qin Fen scanned the area from afar with his spiritual sense, and after a thorough investigation, he clicked his tongue in praise.

"what?"

"Brother Xuan, didn't you say that your sect's strongest member is only at the seventh level of the Supreme Saint realm? But I saw a Pseudo-Immortal at the first level guarding the mountain gate, which doesn't seem like what you said." "Or is that guy from outside?"

Upon hearing Qin Fen's words, Jian Xuan immediately became wary.

wrong!

Where are there any fake immortals in the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect!

Never!

Unless Junior Sister Jiang breaks through, but even Junior Sister Jiang can't possibly break through faster than him.

He was able to ascend to immortality by cultivating within Young Master Gu's Primordial Soul Lamp; there was no opportunity or possibility for him to ascend to immortality in the Xuan Tian Realm.

Besides, if he's a fake immortal, he's most likely sent by that Little Mystic Heaven Realm!

Before they set off, Young Master Gu told them that the outside world had changed drastically, and many immortal-level cultivators who were once unseen had emerged, all of whom came from that world.

The Little Mystic Heaven Realm also took over the Western Regions, regarding the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect as a vassal. "Oh, it seems there was a dispute. A woman at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm Saint stage got into a fight with that pseudo-immortal. Tsk tsk, she's got some nerve, daring to challenge a pseudo-immortal."

Qin Fen was still investigating from a distance, and it seemed he had also gotten a piece of the action.

"and many more……"

He shook his head.

"This argument is quite intense; that woman is probably going to suffer a lot."

This time, Jian Xuan was completely furious!

A woman of the Ninth Level of Sainthood?

This could only be his junior sister, Jiang Lingyun!

Now he's being threatened by a fake immortal?

Grass!

I can finally fulfill my duty as a senior brother to protect my junior sister. I didn't have this opportunity before because my junior sister was stronger than me, but now it's completely different!

"Brother Qin, let's go quickly!"

Longing for home and for his love, Jian Xuan couldn't wait any longer and rushed straight to the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect.

Qin Fen smiled but remained silent.

Judging from his appearance, it's clear that it has nothing to do with homesickness; he's probably missing home and, at the same time, missing his girlfriend.

Qin Fen didn't need to come out; he could have stayed inside the Primordial Soul Lamp to cultivate, as he felt it wasn't impossible for him to break through to the Immortal Lord level.

But he made new friends.

That's why I came out.

Well, it's time to experience more of the warmth and life of everyday people...
