Chapter 444 Becoming an Immortal
Immortal is an extremely sophisticated word; it signifies freedom and longevity, requiring extraordinary combat power and an endless lifespan.

Becoming an immortal in the immortal realm is not difficult. If one has enough talent, reaches the end of the human realm, and passes the tribulation to become an immortal, one will become an immortal.

However, in the mortal world, without the tempering of immortal laws, it is very difficult to become an immortal; it is a life-or-death ordeal.

However, if one were to achieve the Dao Fruit, it would be absolutely earth-shattering. Qi Zhe was well aware of the value of the Mortal Immortal Dao Fruit; once achieved, it would be comparable to a Quasi-Immortal King.

But Qi Zhe also knew very well that this did not mean that the path to true immortality was not viable. There was never a distinction between strong and weak on the path to immortality; the only difference was the person.

Therefore, he did not choose to live against the tide, but instead chose to pave his own path. And having come this far, he can sense his own power, so calling him an immortal is not an exaggeration at all.

"My journey is coming to an end, and I have accumulated enough experience."

Qi Zhe sat cross-legged with his eyes closed in the divine palace. He had been cultivating for more than 20,000 years and could sense that he was very close to becoming an immortal. Boundless immortal laws flickered within his body.

He honed himself, transforming his Dao into the realm of immortality, and now only this last bit remains, which can be said to be one in a hundred.

But the closer he got to the final step, the more difficult it became for Qi Zhe. Without the help of a heavenly tribulation, the accumulation he needed for his own transformation was simply too great.

It is no exaggeration to say that this step is more difficult than the previous ninety-nine steps. Immortals cannot be seen in the mortal world, and it is very difficult to become an immortal without being in the immortal realm.

"Perhaps this is the difficulty. The strange world is not lacking in longevity substances, but the Great Emperor Wushi is still a mortal immortal. His path may be the same as mine."

Qi Zhe felt that he was in the same situation as Emperor Wushi. The other party had entered a strange world, and with Wushi's strength, he naturally had no shortage of longevity substances.

Furthermore, he can transform chaos into immortal essence and store it within his body. If he wanted to achieve immortality, he could do so, but becoming an immortal would not be easy.

All of this is enough to show that if one is in the mortal world, then becoming an immortal will be a difficult path that requires gradual tempering.

Fortunately, Qi Zhe was very lucky. His path was different from others. Now that I think about it, he was even capable of becoming a Battle Immortal. He wouldn't collapse from exhaustion on the way.

He can use his long lifespan to continuously challenge the path to immortality without exhausting his own life essence, and can act recklessly until the day he achieves success.

And now he is indeed unrestrained, like an ancient tree that constantly goes through cycles of withering and flourishing, constantly being reborn from death. He absolutely cannot afford to waste his time without a great deal of accumulation.

Even so, Qi Zhe did not become an immortal in a short time. As time passed, he sat alone in the divine palace for 20,000 years.

This was a long period of time, during which cultivation civilizations even began to emerge in this world, but Qi Zhe was still somewhat lacking.

"boom!!!"

But today, a deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout this realm, and countless beings on the continent beneath the Chaos Tree sensed it.

"After twenty thousand years, the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill has finally been completed!"

At this moment, a huge alchemy furnace under the Chaos Tree was roaring violently, with immortal energy flowing through it, and eleven enormous immortal pills were spinning inside.

The three ancient emperors who had been refining elixirs under the tree for many years were overjoyed. They broke away from the immortal source to refine immortal elixirs, and after 20,000 years, they finally succeeded.

Qi Zhe also sensed something. With his head full of white hair, he looked down at the Chaos Tree and saw the immortal pill flowing with immortal light in the alchemy furnace. His eyes were somewhat dazed.

"Congratulations." Qi Zhe immediately offered his congratulations, knowing that these three would use this opportunity to reshape their Dao Fruit and live a second life.

"Ha ha.!"

The three ancient emperors laughed heartily upon hearing this. They had successfully refined the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill in large quantities, so they were naturally overjoyed.

But we must not forget the source of our blessings. At this moment, the Golden Ancient Emperor looked up at Qi Zhe and said with a smile, "I must thank the Heavenly Emperor for bestowing this blessing upon us, otherwise we would not be where we are today."

Twenty thousand years is not a short time. They left the Immortal Source to refine pills. Even though their life force was slowly fading in this world, they still consumed six thousand years of peak imperial life.

Undoubtedly, this consumption was astonishing. If Qi Zhe hadn't lent them his life and extended their lives with a massive amount of immortal essence, they would never be where they are today. Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this and then said, "I will wait for you to reach the peak again, so that all this hardship will not have been in vain."

After saying this, Qi Zhe closed his eyes again and continued his seclusion. Seeing this, the three ancient emperors did not waste any words and began to plan to cut off the past and start their second life in reverse.

Besides them, there were also their descendants in this land. Seeing this, they were naturally overjoyed and eagerly awaited the three ancient emperors to reclaim their thrones.

In the time that followed, the three ancient emperors began their efforts, and even the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, whose body had disappeared, rebuilt his true form once again.

A thousand years later, the three were finally ready. They cut off the fruits of their past lives, took the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, and embarked on the path of cultivation once again.

A thousand years later, the three of them made their final leap once again. Even without the help of Heaven or the resonance of all the Dao, they still transformed into the flawless Imperial Dao.

"I see!"

The children of the three ancient emperors were greatly inspired by this. Huang Xudao, who had achieved enlightenment in an unconventional way more than two thousand years ago, now felt that he had gained a lot from watching his father ascend to the imperial path again.

The Dragon Girl and the Golden Goddess are not much different. Both of them were destined to perish early, but they are still alive today, which is quite a pity.

"Returning to the imperial mandate, surpassing even the previous life!"

The three ancient emperors were also deeply moved. After countless ages, they once again reached the pinnacle, not just achieving the ultimate sublimation, but truly returning to the throne.

Among all the ancient emperors and great emperors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, none had such great fortune. At this moment, the three of them gazed at the divine palace on the Chaos Tree and knew that everything had a cause.

"It was worth the long wait."

Qi Zhe smiled upon seeing this. Back then, these three ancient emperors chose to stand on his side, and today's outcome is undoubtedly a satisfactory explanation for both sides.

Qi Zhe's promise from back then was half fulfilled; the other half was becoming an immortal, and Qi Zhe felt that it was not far off.

With the return of the three ancient emperors to their thrones, they all chose to study the path created by Qi Zhe, not to replicate it, but to learn a thing or two in order to achieve immortality.

Qi Zhe then began a long period of seclusion, consuming immortal essence to undergo the cycle of decay and prosperity, and finally became an immortal after 30,000 years.

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar erupted from the heights of the Chaos Tree, and boundless immortal laws permeated the heavens and earth. At that moment, all living beings in this world saw someone slowly rise to their feet.

It was a being enveloped in boundless celestial light. Although it stood in the palace, its figure was reflected in the heavens and earth, as if it could reach into the chaos with a wave of its hand.

"It's finally done!"

Even Qi Zhe couldn't help but get excited at this moment. He let out a long roar between heaven and earth, the sound of which shook the boundless universe, causing chaos to surge and this world to expand.

In an instant, the primordial universe expanded several times over, countless cosmic dusts drifted about, and pieces of primordial divine land were born on the edge of the universe.

This is undoubtedly amazing. Qi Zhe has only just achieved enlightenment, yet he has already manifested an astonishing scene of creating a universe and truly stands on the path of immortality.

"Is this what a true immortal is? They're this powerful?!"

Even the three ancient emperors were shocked. They had truly lived out their second life and returned in a state of extreme strength, far surpassing their former selves, but now they trembled in the face of Qi Zhe.

In fact, Qi Zhe himself did not know how strong he had become, because he had never seen an immortal and did not know whether he could compare to the best among the true immortals.

But there is no doubt that his Dao fruit is amazing, after all, he has consumed millions of years of imperial destiny, and he has used his life to cultivate the fruit of immortality.

There's no reason why it shouldn't be strong!
