My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 174 Recalling those days, the initial stage of external objects was already the limit.

Bai Chijing traveled from place to place, encountering several immortal cities, each currently in chaos. The only difference was the degree of chaos.

This doesn't mean that the immortals who left the immortal realm didn't take all the sealed immortal assets with them.

Instead, this Immortal Realm still has four near-Dao Immortals. In addition to these four, the two near-Dao Immortals who severed their own ties did not touch the sealed Immortal Enterprises when they went to the Trapped World. So even though there were many struggles for power and profit, it did not cause the "economic system" of the area to collapse directly.

The immortal city where Bai Chijing is located at this time is this type of immortal city.

There were no large-scale battles, and even personal feuds were rare. Although the atmosphere was oppressive, there were only some signs of chaos, but no direct signs of chaos.

Unfortunately, what Shirachi Kei wanted wasn't there either.

Touching the hearts of those trapped in a difficult situation is no easy task.

However, this time, just as Bai Chijing was about to leave, he heard a voice calling out to him: "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Such a shout is undoubtedly somewhat unlucky.

However, the source of this voice carried a strong aura of near-immortal cultivation, so Bai Chijing chose to stay.

He wanted to know whether the immortal who greeted him was about to become a near-immortal or whether he carried a treasure bestowed by a near-immortal.

If it's the former, then he would like to ask the other party about their cultivation.

This is to verify my guess.

Looking towards Baichijing.

Soon, the person appeared. A ball of flame phantom materialized and emerged a man with a thin face, who looked somewhere between a young man and a middle-aged man.

He wore a wide, flowing robe with flowing sleeves, its color a purplish-gold. Although it exuded nobility, it did not appear extravagant, after all, he was a true immortal at the fourth stage of the immortal path.

As soon as this person appeared, Bai Chijing knew that this was the latter.

Clearly, he is of noble status.

Based on the characteristic that beautiful immortals were the majority in this immortal realm in the past, she is probably the offspring of some immortal who is close to the Dao.

Therefore, Bai Chijing couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Because he could sense that this person had cultivated to the fourth stage of immortality a long time ago. In those tens of thousands of years ago, there were still faint traces of the hymns sung when he achieved his extraordinary, otherworldly state. But to this day, this person has not improved in the slightest.

This is not normal.

Thinking of this, Bai Chijing's heart stirred slightly.

Because he was unable to advance further in his third stage, he suddenly had a new conjecture.

This conjecture aligns with previous speculations.

This is an advanced version.

However, this conjecture was too unrealistic, so Bai Chijing asked, "What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

This fourth-stage True Immortal first clasped his hands in a salute before saying, "Zhong Zunxin greets this fellow Daoist! The reason I called out to you is because I am acting on my father's orders to invite fellow Daoists who have cultivated to a realm beyond the mortal world to go to Chonghuo Mountain to listen to my father preach for three thousand years in a hundred years. Fellow Daoist, to be honest, at that time... at least three near-Dao Celestial Venerables may be born!"

Because Bai Chijing was a stranger to him, and he couldn't find out any specific information about Bai Chijing, he only felt that Bai Chijing's aura was as deep and mysterious as an abyss, and he had a hint of his father's power. Therefore, this fourth-stage True Immortal first revealed his identity and spoke very politely, even with a hint of flattery.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Chong. I will certainly go at that time." Bai Chijing didn't know if he would still have time at that time, after all, the "First Lingjia" was about to create a new world. However, since it was an invitation from the offspring of a near-Dao Immortal, he could not refuse under any circumstances.

Now, only four near-Dao Immortals remain in the Immortal Realm, and the entire Immortal Realm is being slowly swallowed up by the Trapped World. But this does not mean that those near-Dao Immortals in the Immortal Realm are dead!

However, Bai Chijing found it strange that the other party was so certain that at least three near-Dao Immortals could be born.

The other party's words, tinged with flattery, seemed to suggest that he had a high probability of becoming a newly ascended Immortal after listening to the Dao.

"Fellow Daoist, I still need to invite other fellow Daoists." At this moment, Chong Zunxin said this, and then prepared to leave.

He took out a phantom of fire from his sleeve, and with a gentle grab, he locked onto the location of a True Immortal at the fourth stage of the Immortal Path.

Clearly, this is how Bai Chijing was found before.

At this moment, as Chong Zunxin took a step forward, his figure was immediately swallowed up by the fiery phantom, and then Bai Chijing sensed that the other party was at least tens of millions of miles away.

And then he began to converse with the True Immortal who had just pinpointed his location.

Bai Chijing even sensed from afar that although the two were expressed differently, their conversation was an invitation to listen to the Dao a hundred years from now, but they did not mention that at least three near-Dao immortals would be born.

This invited fourth-stage True Immortal had not yet reached his peak cultivation level. However, he was still much better than the son of the Near-Dao Celestial Venerable, whose cultivation was clearly on the rise.

This discovery caused a slight change in Bai Chijing's expression.

"It seems that once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one's progress stops. Here, or rather, in this world of stagnation, this is a perfectly normal situation?" Bai Chijing couldn't help but come to this conclusion.

Otherwise, why would this person be so willing to accept this?

You must know that this Venerable Heart is also a True Immortal who has cultivated the Immortal Vein! He has reached the perfection of all three cultivation paths in the first and second stages of the Immortal Path.

How could someone like him be content to stop at such a level?

Furthermore, his father was a near-immortal, so even if he couldn't make his son ascend to become a near-immortal in one step, it shouldn't be difficult for him to cultivate to the peak of the fourth stage of immortality, right?

After all, the "First Ling Jia" did not appear in person, but only pushed the concept of "non-existence" on him to evolve, which directly brought his cultivation to its peak.

"Could it really be as I just thought of it?"

Bai Chijing was somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Because his guess was actually quite far-fetched.

That seemingly pieced-together cultivation system actually has a fixed upper limit for everyone. Before attaining immortality, this might not be obvious, because there are many opportunities that can allow someone to ascend to heaven in one step and directly become an immortal.

However, once one cultivates to become a true immortal, this point becomes even more obvious, and it is like a universal truth.

It is quite clear that the Immortal Realm acknowledges this and does not consider it abnormal. Otherwise, given such an opportunity to become a near-Dao Immortal, the offspring of a near-Dao Immortal would not fail to seize it, but instead go out and invite other True Immortals to compete for this opportunity.

“Indeed.” A clear, soft, yet incredibly aloof voice suddenly rang out. It came from within Bai Chijing’s heart.

"You were originally stuck at the initial stage of the external world, but for some reason, you created your own world and achieved a destiny body outside the mythical world. However, this destiny body can only stop you at the realm of transcending the mortal world, but you took a different path, transformed yourself, created another world, and forcibly achieved a body that is different from the human world."

This was a familiar voice to Bai Chijing, but the tone of his voice was extremely unfamiliar.

After all, it was already a gourd.

Rather than the first Ling Jia.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing was surprised and shocked by the "Number One Ling Jia" at this moment. After all, it was astonishing that he could so clearly capture even the changes in his thoughts!
"You've created your own world, and although this method is unorthodox, it's still incredibly amazing. However, this has also caused changes in your consciousness, making it seem like you're constantly and completely displaying yourself to others. Otherwise, why do you think that person targeted you before? If I hadn't intervened, you would be no different from a sieve." That clear and soft voice rang out again, and the change in tone made Bai Chijing feel a sense of familiarity.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing was immediately dismayed. His method for entering the fourth stage of immortality actually had such a hidden danger.

So, after thinking for a moment, he abruptly changed the subject, saying, "A world created on its own? Is that why you came to find me back then?"

"I hadn't recovered yet at that time, and the reason I came to find you on my own initiative must be because of this. To be precise, creating one's own world is not much different from creating the world."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing felt a surge of emotion regarding his right eye, as he had always believed that the other party already knew about his "golden finger" ability.

But now, judging from what they're saying, they haven't even discovered it yet?

Otherwise, I would have known he was a time traveler.

So Bai Chijing asked again, "Then you asked me to transform into a wisp of primordial immortal power. Could it be that in this way, I can become a near-immortal?"

"Primordial Immortal Power is close to the Heavenly Dao, and therefore it is qualified to be close to the Dao."

"Thank you!" Bai Chijing said sincerely. All his past confusions had now been answered, which made him feel a little emotional.

No wonder his cultivation became so strange after he entered the third stage of immortality.

My dearest friend "+1," who has been with me all along, seems to be disappearing.

It turns out that his potential has been locked invisibly. The fact that he has reached the fourth stage of the Immortal Path is simply because his fierce-eyed gourd is too strong.

At this moment, "First Ling Jia" suddenly said: "A hundred years from now, I will create the world. At that time, the world will be restored and all extraordinary powers will turn into nothingness. Although they saw that many people would have their limits and be suddenly promoted to near-immortals, they did not see that the reason for this situation was that all the original near-immortals were knocked down to the mortal world and died of old age and sickness."

really……

Bai Chijing had a question that was answered.

Then, quite suddenly, he saw a small, fair hand emerge from his shadow.

This scene undoubtedly looks familiar.

However, Bai Chijing didn't care about this, because after that fair little hand stretched out, it actually entered the time of time!

Then, Bai Chijing discovered that time in this world was passing by at an alarming rate.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed!
At this moment, the Immortal Realm and the Trapped World have completely merged into one, so the human and spiritual power in this world has become extremely thin.

After all, this item can create a large number of incomplete versions of immortals, allowing an entire group of trapped mortal beings to become immortals, which naturally results in enormous losses.

A colossal fiery mountain suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Immediately, Bai Chijing understood that it was Chonghuo Mountain.

A powerful aura of near-immortal power was spreading outwards. At the same time, Bai Chijing heard Chong Zunxin's voice: "Fellow Daoist, hurry up and come! My father is closing the Daoist temple. With your talent, you will surely seize this heaven-sent opportunity to become a near-immortal Celestial Venerable!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing couldn't help but sigh. This fellow Daoist, Chongzunxin, as the offspring of a near-Dao Immortal, was not arrogant at all, nor did he feel disrespected for standing him up, and thus flew into a rage.

So, Bai Chijing clasped his hands in a fist salute, wanting to apologize to the other party. However, as soon as he made a move, he found that the light around him was already dissipating.

A mysterious and profound aura, seemingly the pinnacle of creation, emanated from his flesh and blood.

He is becoming light.

To be precise, he transformed into a ray of light.

This is the primordial immortal power.

One of the five most fundamental divine powers.

Such immortal power is extremely rare even in other realms. This is because it was one of the most precious treasures that Banhu used when he created the world.

At this moment, Bai Chijing is undergoing a transformation and sublimation into such a precious treasure.

Along with this, Bai Chijing's own immortal soul continued to sublimate, and at this moment he truly saw his upper limit—the initial stage of external objects.

It turns out that this initial constraint has always been there from the beginning.

Then, he felt that something had been added to his immortal soul.

It was indeed that fierce-looking eye.

At this moment, the right eye, which had reached its peak state, directly merged into Bai Chijing's immortal soul. Then, Bai Chijing discovered that a strong desire had arisen within him.

He needs his left eye!
Left eye: future, past!
As if sensing something in the darkness, Bai Chijing couldn't help but cast his gaze.

At that moment, it was as if he saw a whole new world.

He only glanced at that world, yet he felt an unprecedented sense of power, as if he were facing an existence that had surpassed the limits of the near-immortal realm.

Bai Chijing sensed that the left eye he needed seemed to be right here in this world.

At this moment, with a thought, the world spontaneously welcomed Bai Chijing, and spared no effort to send out beings equivalent to near-immortals to protect him along the way.

Thus, the primordial immortal power that Bai Chijing transformed into smoothly merged into that world.

Although that realm felt a strong sense of shrinkage when consuming this primordial immortal power, it didn't pay much attention to it, since it was still primordial immortal power after all.
