Chapter 238: Mortal Instantly Transcends to Godhood
🕑 Added 2024-01-09 15:05:21 +0000 UTCWithin the vast sea of information in the Tianxuan Mirror, Ling Xiao suddenly updated dozens of works, which didn't attract much attention from people, except for his loyal fans.
In this extremely small circle of only a dozen or so people, the following dialogue took place one day.
"Fellow Daoists, look what I've discovered. 'Fairy Qiong Bai,' 'My Marvelous Journey with Third Junior Brother,' 'Love Locking Talisman'..."
"Huh? All signed by Ling Xiao? Could it be someone using his name to create forgeries?"
"Let me check... Hiss, the style, the writing, and the familiar immersive feeling..."
"Also, the illustrations in each chapter are vivid."
"Most importantly, there are no taboos in who the protagonists sleep with!"
"Humans, immortals, objects, beasts... these are undoubtedly Ling Xiao's posthumous works!"
"I've read every work by Ling Xiao hundreds of times. I can affirm that these are definitely his genuine works!"
"I never expected to see new works from Ling Xiao in my lifetime. Even if I break through and die tomorrow, I'll have no regrets!"
"So many suddenly appeared... If I'm not mistaken, they were probably found together in some ruins or relics. Ling Xiao was truly prolific in his prime. I wonder how many works got lost in the river of history."
"This fellow is truly generous. He openly shared so many works for free. If it were someone else, they would surely sell these rare editions at exorbitant prices!"
"Old Man Jing Xuan, why are you sneering so sarcastically? Do you want to have a fight?"
"Hehe, he's anxious, he's really anxious!"
"Alright, Jing Xuan, Guang Wu, even with so many rare editions, you two can't shut up. Hmm... Anyway, this generous fellow has allowed us to feast our eyes. We should express our gratitude. I'll take care of this matter."
"Let me see, Cong Yun Sea, Li Fan. This place is a bit remote."
"Huh? Just Foundation Establishment cultivation? But that's fine. We only gathered here because of similar interests."
...
So, within the Tianxuan Mirror on Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Li Fan, after he finished uploading Ling Xiao's posthumous works, didn't pay much attention to it. He was contemplating how to break the deadlock of the Eternal Remembrance. Suddenly, he received a friend request.
"Tianyun Province, Oracle? Who is this?" Li Fan felt a bit puzzled.
"No realm information displayed; his cultivation should be above Golden Core."
After some thought, Li Fan accepted the friend request.
A refined middle-aged man dressed in snowy white robes appeared in front of Li Fan.
The Oracle smiled and explained the ins and outs of the situation to Li Fan, expressing gratitude for Li Fan's selfless sharing spirit.
Li Fan hadn't expected that even after thousands of years since Ling Xiao's death, there still existed a group of his die-hard fans.
For an author, this was probably the best reward.
If Ling Xiao knew about it after his death, it would be enough to comfort him.
Li Fan didn't boast; instead, he expressed his modest thanks.
Oracle nodded, not saying much more.
He only told Li Fan to contact him if he encountered any trouble.
Li Fan readily agreed.
After ending the communication, Li Fan searched for information about "Tianyun Province, Oracle" in the Tianxuan Mirror.
He found no relevant data about Oracle.
There was quite a bit about Tianyun Province.
This province was located in the middle-west of the Xuanhuang Realm and seemed to be very far from the Cong Yun Sea.
The most famous wonder in the province was a shadow wall.
The shadow wall had a history of several thousand years, seemingly existing even before the Great Calamity.
In the middle of every year, the shadow wall illuminates with light, revealing a scene of a mortal transcending to godhood.
This phenomenon of mortals transcending to godhood is said to have truly occurred thousands of years ago.
It happened during the era when the unity of heaven and man and the natural Dao were practiced.
At that time, a mortal achieved enlightenment during broad daylight.
The mortal turned into a god, ascending to the heavens in a single step.
This extremely rare scene happened to be recorded by this shadow wall.
It continuously reappeared on the wall in countless years that followed.
Just like back then, when this spectacle occurred, it would also resonate with the laws of heaven and earth, giving rise to numerous astonishing phenomena.
Almost every cultivator below the level of Soul Transformation could gain insights from witnessing the scene of a mortal transcending to godhood.
Therefore, many cultivators from other provinces would eagerly travel to Tianyun Province in hopes of gaining opportunities.
"A mortal transcending to godhood... if I encounter bottlenecks in the future, it might be worthwhile to go and observe."
In the current cultivation world, due to the existence of the White Mist Barrier, most cultivators spend the majority of their lives confined to a single province. Establishing connections with cultivators from other provinces is quite rare.
This time, thanks to Ling Xiao's blessing, being able to connect with a cultivator from the distant Tianyun Province was an unexpected opportunity.
However, its usefulness might only be realized in the future.
At present, Li Fan continued his interrupted train of thought.
He resumed contemplating the way to break through Tian Yang's Eternal Remembrance.
The method was quite clear now.
Before the arrival of the Immortal Recruitment Order, he needed to become the strongest in the Ancient Body Transformation Dao and replace Senior Brother Si Xing in joining the war.
However, this seemed like an impossible task.
From the beginning of the simulation to the arrival of the Immortal Recruitment Order, only a little over six years passed.
To expect a mortal with congenital weakness to defeat a powerful ancient cultivator in the late stage of Golden Core within such a short time...
It was indeed too difficult.
At the very least, in terms of Tian Yang's own aptitude, there was almost no hope of success.
The Eternal Remembrance of Tian Yang in this life had only one remaining usage.
Before having a certain level of confidence, Li Fan wouldn't rashly attempt it.
"However, there's no need to put too much effort into it. If I can surpass Golden Core in strength before those seven individuals intrude into the Ancient Body Transformation Dao cave, it's worth a try."
As for how to quickly improve actual combat strength, Li Fan already had some ideas at this moment.
After some searches, hundreds of pieces of information about "Body's Hidden Secrets" appeared in Li Fan's mind.
Many of them required payment to unlock.
This contribution point was just a drop in the bucket for Li Fan.
He checked the reliable ones.
"Another Possibility Beyond the Immortal Path - Discussion on the Potential Development of Body's Hidden Secrets"
"A Discussion on the Possible Connection Between Ancient Body Cultivation and Body's Hidden Secrets"
"Rebirth of Blood, Infinite Vitality"
...
The human body contains infinite potential.
This fact was not only known to the Heavenly Doctor alone.
In the long development of the Xuanhuang Realm, many sects emerged to study the secrets hidden within the human body.
After the establishment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the open access to the Tianxuan Mirror, an unsurpassed spiritual treasure that facilitated high-level information sharing, the study of the secrets of the human body became even more prevalent.
Unfortunately, the practical effects were limited at the moment.
Even with the current backlash from the Heavens and the arduousness of the cultivation path, it was still better than developing the secrets of the human body.
