My talent is 1.

Guan Xiangzi waved his hand and led the two of them towards the nearest immortal city.

"This contains the 'Closer to the Ends of the Earth' technique and some commonly used immortal techniques. Once you reach the immortal realm, the techniques from the lower realms are basically useless. However, if you have a deep understanding of techniques, you can comprehend immortal techniques faster than others."

Zhong Wuyai felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at the jade tablet that Guan Xiangzi handed him.

Having powerful backers is great. In the cultivation world, if you're not lucky and don't encounter powerful cultivators in the early stages, you simply won't survive.

Thinking back to when I was covered in injuries, I realized that it was Uncle Liu who rescued me and brought me back to life.

Putting everything else aside, if Liu Shikai hadn't had that much kindness, I would most likely have died as soon as I arrived.

Zhong Wuyai probed with his divine sense and found a lot of information inside. He selected a few commonly used immortal techniques from the I Ching and transmitted them to Lu Zifan through his divine sense.

Although Guan Xiangzi had some doubts, he didn't ask any further questions.

Lu Zifan didn't stand on ceremony. Apart from some water-based immortal techniques in the Myriad Water Immortal Yuan Technique, he really didn't have any other immortal techniques.

As for the formations of the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord Cult, they wouldn't dare use them even in the Immortal Realm.

Either it's not very effective, or it's still a magic array.

If the Heaven-Slaying Formation, the Devouring Heaven and Earth Formation, and the Primordial Chaos Formation were set up, not to mention Taiyi Golden Immortals, even Daluo Golden Immortals might come.

These magical techniques just filled the gaps in his knowledge.

"Senior, where are we going?"

"Tianlin Mountain... I'm rather curious, how did you cultivate? Even if the Heavenly Yang Profound Thunder Technique I gave you was of a high grade, your speed of becoming an immortal is still far too fast!"

Fast? ... Zhong Wuyai touched his nose... I call this fast? ... Look at Lu Zifan, who ascended to immortality overnight.

They've only just arrived in the Immortal Realm and they're already at the mid-stage of Human Immortal. And I'm barely even a fraction of that...

"Well, senior, I'm smart and talented, so I used more spirit stones and my cultivation progressed faster."

"Spirit stones? ...You brat, you're trying to fool me. If you could become an immortal just by relying on spirit stones, how many immortals would ascend to the immortal realm every month?"

"I'm a smart person, so I used a little more."

"How much did you use?"

"All in all, it's equivalent to hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones. Although the lower realm can't compare to the immortal realm, the quantity is plentiful and plentiful. Plus, with the immortal technique you gave me, I've accidentally become an immortal~..."

"Hehehehe...you little brat!"

Guan Xiangzi was speechless. What kind of luck did this kid have, getting hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones?

If one had hundreds of thousands of immortal stones, even ordinary immortal stones, a person with good immortal talent could advance to the Earth Immortal realm within a hundred years.

The advancement of cultivation in the Immortal Realm is very slow; countless immortals take three to five thousand years, or even ten thousand years, just to reach the Earth Immortal realm.

The lifespan of a human immortal is only ten thousand years. If they do not become an earth immortal within ten thousand years, they will return to the world.

However, compared to the realm from Human Immortal to Earth Immortal, it is much more difficult for cultivators in the lower realms to become immortals.

Zhong Wuyai, on the other hand, did it as easily as drinking water. He simply meditated to recover from his injuries, passed a tribulation, and became an immortal.

"Alright, we've arrived. Follow me for a bit. Tianlin Mountain is a gathering place for wandering immortals, but you don't need to be afraid of anything here."

Guan Xiangzi is an Eighth Tribulation Loose Immortal, while the strongest local tyrant of Tianlin Mountain is only at the Fifth or Sixth Tribulation.

There are more than forty caves of varying sizes in Tianlin Mountain, and a market town has been built in a relatively large valley.

There is no concept of currency here; people barter based on need and social status.

The amount of immortal energy contained in the immortal stone can be exchanged for materials or items of roughly the same value.

However, when Zhong Wuyai saw the price tags on the elixirs in the market, he was somewhat puzzled.

So cheap...

The purchasing power of immortal stones is unclear, but the value of immortal pills is not much different from that of immortal stones, which puzzles Zhong Wuyai.

After Guan Xiangzi's explanation, Zhong Wuyai finally understood the reason.

Elixirs are not that valuable in the immortal realm. Apart from a very few elixirs that have no effect whatsoever, most immortals have no use for them.

After all, the process of refining elixirs involves extracting the essence of herbs and other medicinal materials and fusing them together.

When taking them, he would refine the essence within these elixirs little by little for his own use.

Eating the extracted essence directly is no different from consuming a magic pill.

However, some pure elixirs with abundant immortal energy can quickly restore immortal essence during battles, which can be somewhat useful.

However, eating the herb and fruit directly has a similar effect.

In general, unless it's a top-tier, supreme elixir, ordinary elixirs are dispensable.

They've all become immortals; aren't they all exceptional individuals? The top ones might differ, but who can't do these common things?

It just takes some time and effort.

Upon arriving at a cave dwelling, Guan Xiangzi simply waved his hand, and the cave's array immediately opened a gap, allowing the group to enter.

"Bai Yu, it's been thousands of years, why haven't you overcome the sixth tribulation yet?"

Bai Yu was startled when the formation of his own cave was activated, but he was overjoyed when he saw who had come.

"Your Majesty, I thought you had forgotten about this place!"

"Tell me, what happened? Why can't I sense Liu Ye's presence?"

"Liu Ye failed to transcend the tribulation three thousand years ago, and a wisp of her true spirit escaped. If she is lucky, she has already been reincarnated and started cultivating again."

"And what about you? What happened to you?"

"My primordial spirit was injured. Although it was not very serious, it was difficult to recover. I have been afraid to undergo tribulation and have been lying dormant in the formation for fear of attracting heavenly tribulation."

Guan Xiangzi reached out and placed his hand on Bai Yu's forehead, and Bai Yu did not resist.

"Karma?...How could you be harmed by karma?"

"I... I don't know either. I don't even know where karma comes from. Karma suddenly turned into a knife and left a cut on my primordial spirit."

Guan Xiangzi took out a finger bone, which contained a powerful aura, but it was also somewhat strange.

Bai Yu didn't know what kind of bone it was, but Lu Zifan and Zhong Wuyai were immediately surprised.

"Senior, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"Perhaps we can be of help!"

Guan Xiangzi was now completely confused. Although the injuries to the primordial spirit of the Five Tribulations Loose Immortal were neither severe nor minor.

But that was caused by karma, what could two nascent immortals do?

"Senior, I'm not lying to you. Even if you use this, you can't guarantee that he will fully recover. At most, you can alleviate the injuries. But we might be able to enhance the effect of what you have."

Are you sure?!

Guan Xiangzi was no longer calm. This thing in his hand was hard-won. If Bai Yu hadn't been with him since the time of the Second Tribulation Loose Immortal, he really wouldn't have been willing to part with it.

"Senior, why don't you let me give it a try?"

Guan Xiangzi looked at Zhong Wuyai and ultimately chose to believe him.

Back in Chaos's divine realm, he couldn't see through Zhong Wuyai's Daoist aura. Now that Zhong Wuyai has ascended to immortality, he can't see it at all. Perhaps it's something he's never encountered before, something he can't perceive or touch.

However, the methods he used to alter fate time and time again in the realm of gods were truly astonishing.

"This is the only one. If we mess this up, Bai Yu might never find another one like it."

"Believe me, senior, when have I ever let you down?!"

[Buddha's relics (fragment)]

Purify the mind: All afflictions are enlightenment. Wearing it on your body will increase your insights by 2 points during cultivation.

Buddha's Heart: Let all things cease to disturb you, turn your heart to Amitabha. Increases cultivation speed by 2% when practicing Buddhism and Zen.

Transformation of cause: All causes and effects dissipate. Consuming the relics can erase 3 points of cause and effect and purify 5 points of one's own karma.

Zhong Wuyai originally wanted to add the quantity first, but after thinking it over, he simply added 1 after 5.

I've purified 51 points of my karma; I don't know if that's enough.

"Do you need my help?"

Lu Zifan sent me a private message.

Zhong Wuyai replied, "No need."

Guan Xiangzi knew he had some secrets. He had done so many things in the fantasy world, so it wasn't a secret to him.

But Lu Zifan was different. If he had known that the two of them could step on each other's feet, he wouldn't have been able to guarantee what Guan Xiangzi would have done.

With just this one movement, the surrounding immortal energy surged, and not only that, some unseen Daoist principles also entered the Buddha's relics.

The immortal energy inside the cave was almost gone, and even the array was somewhat dim. The surrounding immortal energy kept pouring into the cave through the array.

"Alright~, give it a try!"

Bai Yu stared blankly at the relic that was handed to him, lost in thought for a moment.

Guan Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.

"Your abilities are so useful even in the Immortal Realm?"

"Senior, I'm not sure either, this is my first time trying!"

"Try not to use it. This is the Celestial Realm. If you disturb the Heavenly Dao, I won't be able to cover it up for you."

Upon hearing Guan Xiangzi's words, Zhong Wuyai felt a chill of fear. He hadn't thought that much about it before, but now that he thought about it, it really was dangerous.

Back in the cultivation world, it was because of my recklessness that I attracted a heavenly tribulation. As a result, I acted recklessly without regard for the consequences, and the Heavenly Calamity even appeared.

If Lu Zifan hadn't possessed a near-immortal artifact, the two of them would have perished long ago, especially considering the low level of the world.

The Heavenly Dao in the cultivation world is, at best, just a projection.

However, the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm is a complete Heavenly Dao, second only to the Great Dao. If it attracts the attention of the Heavenly Dao... we can't afford to destroy the Immortal Realm, can we?

Fortunately, the upgrades available now are not very high; the best one is this damaged Buddha relic.

At most, it will consume some more immortal energy, but it won't cause any major disturbance.

"Your Excellency, this thing clearly feels different from before, but why can't I detect the change?"

"Use it with confidence."

Bai Yu said no more and sat down to meditate and absorb the Buddha's relics.

"Eating it directly will have a better effect."

Lu Zifan's words surprised Guan Xiangzi.

Even more surprisingly, Zhong Wuyai also chimed in.

"Exactly, eating it directly will yield better results!"

Feeling the energy of the relic, even though it was only for a single breath, my primordial spirit did feel a little more comfortable than before.

Without wasting any words, Bai Yu swallowed the Buddha's relic directly.

A golden light suddenly emanated from his body, and the wound on his primordial spirit healed.

In just a few breaths, Bai Yu's aura continued to rise, reaching its peak.

"Boom!" Thunderclouds filled the sky, and the entire Thunder Mountain suddenly darkened.

"Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Damn it, how come the formation is so weak?"

Previously, Bai Yu's attention was focused on Zhong Wuyai, and he hadn't paid attention to the formation.

However, Guan Xiangzi immediately recognized that the loss of energy in the formation was Zhong Wuyai's doing.

After swallowing the relic, Bai Yu's aura surged, directly triggering the Heavenly Tribulation of the sixth tribulation of a Loose Immortal.

It seems to have been the same back in the Chaos realm, but now it's just extracting celestial energy, so it's not a big deal.

"Alright, go out now. Focus on your tribulation and don't overthink it."

The sixth tribulation of a Loose Immortal, though not as powerful as Taiyi, is still slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Xuantian Immortal.

Most importantly, because of the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation, those who transcend the tribulation have a much stronger understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and their Daoist essence is more solid.

"You two should take this opportunity to gain some insight. When the Heavenly Tribulation is formed, it will be accompanied by the supreme power of the Heavenly Dao. If you can gain some insight from it, it will be of great help to your future cultivation."

Guan Xiangzi was very patient. Although he did not take Zhong Wuyai as his disciple, he always taught him diligently.

As for Lu Zifan, he taught him some things as well, since his return to the Immortal Realm was also partly due to his connection with Lu Zifan.

It would be best if they could repay it.

Zhong Wuyai clearly trusted this kid a lot.

Moreover, this kid must have ascended not long ago, and he's already at the mid-stage of the Human Immortal realm, which shows just how talented he is.

However, neither of them took it to heart.

Comprehending the Way of Heaven... Forget it, who knows how you'll end up dealing with the Way of Heaven in the future.

Lu Zifan had no use for it at all, and decided to go all the way down this path. Why turn back? He could just rely on his experience to get by.

"Boom... Boom...~!"

As the tribulation lightning struck, Bai Yu was protected by golden light, and the first three waves of heavenly tribulation did not cause much damage.

Immediately afterwards, the power of the heavenly lightning seemed to double, with four heavenly tribulations falling simultaneously.

The golden light on Bai Yu's body dissipated, and blood began to seep from his body.

The heavenly lightning subsided, and as Bai Yu caught his breath, he sensed the power of the Heavenly Dao within the tribulation, and his aura rose once more.

However, soon, five bolts of heavenly lightning struck simultaneously, exposing the bones in Bai Yu's arms and back, and even taking a piece off his head.

However, this did not interfere with Bai Yu's comprehension of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Bai Yu's primordial spirit suddenly emitted a white light, and his physical body rapidly recovered.

"Boom!"

Six bolts of heavenly lightning struck, and Bai Yu was covered in blood.

However, due to the white light, Bai Yu's primordial spirit was not harmed; on the contrary, it gradually grew stronger.

Gradually, Bai Yu's body returned to its original state.

"Your Majesty, I have succeeded!"...

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yu looked at Zhong Wuyai: "Thank you for the opportunity, fellow Daoist. In the future, if there is anything I can do to help you, please feel free to ask, and I will certainly not refuse."

Zhong Wuyai glanced at Lu Zifan, and both of them seemed to have thought of something...

Lu Zifan and Zhong Wuyai asked almost simultaneously, "Really?"

Now even Guan Xiangzi has mastered it.

Bai Yu was even more puzzled. What was going on with these two? For a moment, he lost his confidence.

But the thought that his injuries could be healed and that he could successfully break through to the sixth level of the Loose Immortal realm was all thanks to that relic.

The reason why the relics could have such an effect was because of Zhong Wuyai.

"If...if Bai Yu can do it, I will do my utmost."

Zhong Wuyai smiled, not expecting Bai Yu to be of any help. If possible, he wouldn't mind letting Guan Xiangzi take action.

Even though Guan Xiangzi is only an Eighth Tribulation Loose Immortal, he can at most avoid a lot of trouble in trivial matters and minor things.

Once the system is fully unleashed, the Heavenly Dao will inevitably emerge, and at that time, let alone Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals...

Even the Celestial Emperor probably wouldn't be able to make much of a difference.

But right now, Bai Yu really does come in handy.

Guan Xiangzi is an Eighth Tribulation Loose Immortal. Asking him to help bully Earth Immortals or Heaven Immortals would probably be too much for him to bear.

But Bai Yu is a Six Tribulation Loose Immortal, which is the realm of a Mysterious Heavenly Immortal.

Bai Yu couldn't refuse to seek out immortals at the Celestial Immortal level or secretly work with Earth Immortals...
