Mortal Transformation into Immortal

Upon arrival, Yu Ling sat under a tree not far away, listening to the cultivators chat.

Because we had spent some time visiting the elders first, when we arrived, the building was already full of people, and it was noisy and chaotic.

The disciples who do business here are making a fortune; they can sell ordinary food and wine for the price of celestial delicacies. But this is already an exceptional favor to the cultivators in the mine. Given the mistakes they have made, feeding them to demon beasts would be the least of their worries.

"Damn it, what bad luck! A new illusionary place appeared under the mine, trapping me since yesterday. It's really weird. I couldn't get out no matter how I tried. There were mature parasites inside. Damn it, those parasites even turned into all sorts of weird shapes to scare me."

A burly man said, cursing.

"How did you get out?" a woman at the opposite table asked.

"The disciples of the Ziyang Sect went to rescue me," the man replied.

"Useless! It's just an illusion, and you can't even find a way out?"

"That illusionary place was huge. The disciples of the Ziyang Sect were trapped inside for two hours. It was truly terrifying." The man's eyes were filled with lingering fear.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's only been a short time. When I was young, I was trapped in a secret place for more than 20 years," an old man said disdainfully from a distance.

"Twenty years, you old man, you'll die if you don't brag!" the man shouted, pointing at him.

"boast?"

"You little brat, I've been through far more than you. You've only been trapped for a few hours, and you're acting like you're about to die." The old man's tone was full of disdain.

"Old man, tell me in detail how you've been trapped for over twenty years," the man glared at him defiantly.

"it is good."

The old man became interested, stood up, held a wine bowl in one hand, put one foot on a stool, and looked around at everyone.

"They were trapped for so long."

Yu Ling immediately became interested, pricked up her ears, and listened carefully.

"Have any of you ever been to the Evil Wind Sea?" the old man asked.

"The Evil Wind Sea? Where is that?"

"Never heard of it."

"It can't be fake, can it?"

"I do know of such a place. It's located in the southern part of the desolate region, and I've heard it's a dangerous sea area."

"It's all the way to the south of the wasteland, that's so far."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion; it was too far away, and few people knew about this place.

"There are still people who know." The old man nodded with a smile, then said, "The Evil Wind Sea is close to the Demon Race's Sea and is one of the seas guarded by the Haoran Sect."

"The Haoran Sect."

"So it was within the territory of the Haoran Sect."

Few people know about the Evil Wind Sea, but most people know about the powerful immortal sect, Haoran Sect.

There are numerous immortal sects in the Immortal Realm, but not many immortal patriarchs. Each immortal patriarch is a well-known entity.

"When I was young, I cultivated in the Evil Wind Sea. I even experienced a great war where the demon race invaded the Immortal Realm. I was fortunate enough to see the Nascent Soul Elder of the Haoran Sect kill the great demon of the Azure Toad Clan in the Evil Wind Sea."

At this point, a look of reminiscence appeared in the old man's eyes.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Yu Ling's heart skipped a beat. This was a legendary figure, a top combatant in this immortal realm.

"Did you join the fight against the demon invasion?" someone asked.

"nature."

"Don't brag, you think you can participate in the war?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The old man's eyes flickered with uncertainty as he scoffed, "Although I didn't fight alongside those immortal disciples against the demon race, I did help activate the formation within the immortal city. At that time, the three immortal cities were connected in a line, and the formation's range spanned an entire province, firmly keeping the invading demon race at bay."

What happened next?

The crowd's attention began to be drawn in.

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know. The demons retreated so quickly for no apparent reason. Perhaps they couldn't break through after a long siege."

"At that time, Kunlun ascended two immortal cities from the two neighboring continents. The demon race was afraid of being surrounded by the formation, so they retreated."

"That's what the immortal sect disciple in the shop said."

"Fellow Daoist, did the Ziyang Sect also participate at that time?" the crowd asked in surprise.

The disciple shook his head and said, "No, my Ziyang Sect is guarding this Wudu Sea with the Penglai Sect, but I do know about that battle."

"I see."

"Old man, stop going off-topic and get back to your story."

Everyone looked at him.

The old man drank a bowl of wine and continued, "In the Evil Wind Sea, there is a broken cave with extremely unstable rules. I was forty-two years old at the time. In order to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, I went there to look for opportunities. Who would have thought that I would not find any opportunities and would fall into a natural formation soon after entering. The cave was full of magma and covered with restrictions."

"I studied inside for over twenty years, but I could never escape. In despair, I jumped into that molten lava eye to end my life. Little did I know that the eye would be the exit."

At this point, the old man gave a bitter smile.

"I told you you were bragging. Twenty years, how come you didn't starve to death? You just make things up."

The man seized the opportunity.

"Five people were trapped inside with me. I killed them all and obtained a large number of Essence Pills from them."

"Now they're trapped inside with other people again. Old man, at least make your story believable."

"Yes, it's incoherent."

Everyone shook their heads and smiled, no longer looking at him, and turned to eat and drink.

"What I said is true."

Seeing that no one believed him, the old man became furious.

"You were cultivating in the Evil Wind Sea, how did you end up in these places?"

"It's all because I offended someone, and it took me months of using teleportation arrays to get here."

"Come on, how could someone who can run so fast still get caught?"

The people around him didn't really believe him.

The old man sat down angrily.

"If we're talking about being trapped, it was that time I was deep in the Boundless Sea, where a demonic beast blocked my way in a cave. I was only able to stay afloat because of an array plate..."

The monks in the building each spoke their own stories, discussing how perilous their experiences had been.

The cultivators chatted for a long time before slowly leaving.

"That's all very vague and confusing."

After everyone left, Yu Ling stood up, feeling as if she were listening to a storyteller.

"It's time to go back and cultivate."

Yu Ling walked back.

These monks spoke half-truths, but it was enough for him to understand the world of cultivation.

Knowing how large the Immortal Realm is, knowing the approximate distribution of the various major powers within the Immortal Realm, and knowing what lies outside the Immortal Realm.

The place he was staying in today was very quiet; those cultivators had gone elsewhere to pass the time.

When Yu Ling arrived, he saw that the door to Yang Yun's room was open, so he went straight over.

Yang Yun had already prepared many dishes and was sitting alone at the table waiting for him.

"Uncle Yang."

Yu Ling shouted with a smile.

"I thought you were leaving without saying goodbye," Yang Yun said with a smile as he saw him appear at the door, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"Uncle Yang, did you know I was leaving today?" Yu Ling was surprised.

"You've been sentenced to two months, and today is the last day. Come on, have one last meal with me."

Yang Yun beckoned him to come in quickly.

"Uncle Yang, I'm not leaving. I'll continue working at this mine for eleven more months, and then I'll leave Ziyang Sect directly." Yu Ling told him this news.

"Why have you stopped?"

Yang Yun was both surprised and puzzled upon hearing this.

"Going out would just mean going into the mountains to collect herbs anyway, so we might as well stay here a little longer."

Besides these things, he was actually quite reluctant to leave the food here.
