Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

Qi region, Biyang Gate.

The triennial Ascension Ceremony was held as scheduled, and the immortal talents with cultivation potential selected from the mortals under the jurisdiction of Biyang Sect had gathered at the sect.

Wan Yi, twelve years old, a time traveler.

He had just awakened his innate wisdom, and his mind was still somewhat dazed, with chaotic memories surging through his mind.

He had struck it lucky in his past life, and the moment he opened his eyes, he found himself transported to this world of immortals and heroes.

At first, things went smoothly. My parents were alive and well, my family was harmonious, and I lived a peaceful life in the mundane world with a bright future ahead.

But fate had other plans, and the two immortals engaged in a battle of magic.

The earth shook violently.

His family and friends were instantly refined, leaving not a trace.

Wan Yi was able to survive by sheer luck, not because he was lucky or because he had any extraordinary encounters, but simply because he possessed the aptitude for cultivation.

In Biyangmen's view, keeping him alive is the only way to create greater value.

To put it bluntly, they were just captured as celestial materials to make up the numbers for this ascension ceremony.

Gan!

One second everything is peaceful and smooth, the next second family is destroyed and people die.

Now they've become fish on someone else's chopping board.

Wan Yi felt that his future was bleak.

He looked up at the Biyang Gate in front of him.

The vermilion mountain gate is majestic and surrounded by ethereal mist. The two characters "Biyang" on the plaque are elegant and otherworldly, making it look like a righteous immortal sect to anyone who looks at it.

But one can recall what they did.

They regard the lives of ordinary people as worthless and arbitrarily capture immortal materials to make up the numbers.

What kind of good stuff could it be?

Where is this righteous immortal sect?

It's clearly a demonic sect disguised as a celestial sect!

Wan Yi understood that the Demonic Sect never called itself the Demonic Sect; they always disguised themselves as the righteous path to deceive others.

This Biyang Sect is undoubtedly of this kind.

Among transmigrators, there is probably no one with a more miserable start than him.

Others who transmigrate either have a cheat code or a powerful backer.

He alone suffered the loss of his family and was even captured by the Demonic Sect to make up the numbers; he was simply extremely unlucky.

Never before has there been such a dark start.

Just when Wan Yi was filled with despair, a semi-transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

Name: Wan Yi

[Talent: Great Luo Insight (Rainbow), Extraterrestrial Demon (Gold), Medium Aptitude (Green)]

Cultivation Level: None

[Fate: Supporting Role in "Respect for the Dead"]

Ok?

A glimmer of light flashed in Wan Yi's eyes, and his despair vanished instantly.

This is... a cheat code?

The standard equipment for time travelers has finally come to him!

Wan Yi suppressed his elation and focused intently on the control panel.

The next second, a detailed introduction to the talent appeared.

【Great Luo Cave Observation (Color): You can see through illusions, perceive the true nature of others, and even the trajectory of their destinies.】

[Extraterrestrial Demon (Gold): You are an extraterrestrial demon, and you will not encounter any inner demons on your cultivation path.]

[Medium Aptitude (Green): You possess medium aptitude, giving you an innate advantage in cultivation that most people in the world cannot match in their entire lives.]

Wan Yi felt a chill run down his spine, instantly realizing what his cheat code was.

The Great Luo Cave Observation—that's my cheat code.

You can see the panel information.

Isn't this just reconnaissance?

No, Wan Yi looked at the talent introduction and his gaze fell on the fate column.

To perceive the true nature of others is to see their talents.

So, what is it to perceive the trend of fate?

"Respect for the Dead"?

supporting role?

Wan Yi frowned, and a guess gradually formed in his mind.

Could it be that life is a predetermined drama of fate, and he was just a supporting actor in this great play, "The Dead Are the Great"?

No, that's definitely not the case.

With such a talent for color, how could I be just a supporting character?

Wan Yi quickly realized what was happening.

Perhaps this was simply his predetermined fate before he awakened his innate wisdom and obtained his cheat code.

Now he has awakened his innate wisdom and gained a cheat code, allowing him to see the trajectory of fate.

How could we possibly continue to follow the script of a supporting role?

This supporting role script can only be used as a reference.

Thinking of this, Wan Yi simply raised his eyes and glanced at the teenagers around him.

Since you can see through fate, why not take a look at the origins of these immortal materials that were captured just like you?

The gaze fell on the first boy, and the panel instantly appeared:

Name: Fei Liyan

[Talent: Inferior Aptitude (White), Masterful Painting (White)]

Cultivation Level: None

[Destiny: Extra]

Extra?

Wan Yi's lips twitched, and he looked at the girl next to him.

Name: Ding Fuqu

[Talent: Average aptitude (green), somewhat attractive (white)]

Cultivation Level: None

[Destiny: Extra]

……

Wan Yi looked at more than a dozen young men and women in succession, and the fates on their panels were all minor characters, without even a supporting role.

He understood instantly.

These people probably don't even deserve a name in the script; they're just background characters there to make up the numbers, even worse off than him, a supporting character.

So it's a minor role.

Just as Wan Yi was getting a little bored and was thinking that the Ascension Ceremony was just a gathering of extras, his gaze suddenly stopped and fell on a plain-looking boy in a corner of the crowd, dressed in patched coarse clothes.

The panel slowly appeared, making Wan Yi raise an eyebrow:

Name: Ding Xiu

[Talent: Fire Dao Body (Purple), Superior Aptitude (Blue)]

Cultivation Level: None

[Destiny: The Old Demon of Biyang (Supporting Character)]

"The Old Demon of Biyang"?

Wan Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Good grief, a new script has popped up?

So, there's more than one script for this destiny, and probably more than one protagonist?

He quickly focused his attention on Ding Xiu's talent description, and the more he read, the more astonished he became:

[Binghuo Dao Body (Purple): You have gained the favor of the Binghuo Fruit Rank, and your cultivation of the Binghuo lineage will be unstoppable. You will not encounter any bottlenecks before reaching the Purple Mansion.]

[Superior Aptitude (Blue): You possess superior aptitude, giving you an innate advantage in cultivation that most people in the world cannot match in their entire lives.]

Is it due to favoritism or a higher position?

Is there no bottleneck before reaching the Purple Mansion level?

Wan Yi was secretly puzzled and muttered to himself.

Seriously? My gold talent doesn't seem as impressive as this purple talent.

Could it be that my talent is all show and no substance?

On second thought, something felt off.

His [Extraterrestrial Demon] is a demon without a heart in cultivation. Perhaps in this world of cultivation, one often encounters inner demons, which can be a huge trouble that drives people crazy.

So, all things considered, the value of his talent is not low.

Just as they were pondering this, the middle-aged Taoist priest standing before them with an indifferent expression called out, "Ding Xiu."

"I'm here."

Ding Xiu trembled with fright and scrambled to his feet, almost falling flat on his face. He finally reached the middle-aged Taoist priest, his head bowed low, barely daring to breathe.

The middle-aged Taoist priest, whose face was already long and drawn, as if someone owed him eight hundred coins, reached out and placed his hand on Ding Xiu, examining his physique with a blank expression.

A moment later, the middle-aged Taoist raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy flashing across his face: "Hmm? Top-notch aptitude! A promising talent indeed."

He increased the pressure on his hands and continued to probe, his tone softening slightly: "Yin and Yang belong to Yang, and the Five Elements belong to Fire. He is a good candidate for cultivating the Bing Fire element."

But the next second, the middle-aged Taoist's hand suddenly stopped, and the joy on his face instantly froze.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened like saucers, his face filled with disbelief and shock, and even his voice changed tone:

"No, wait! This is... the Fire Dao Body?!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest had just uttered his exclamation when his body suddenly froze, his mouth agape but unable to utter a sound.

He couldn't move; his whole body felt like it was filled with lead, and even blinking was difficult.

Not only him, but Wan Yi also froze on the spot, his limbs unresponsive.

Looking around, all the young men and women participating in the Ascension Ceremony were motionless, each with their own expression—some terrified, some bewildered, some confused—like a group of frozen puppets.

Just as Wan Yi was wondering, a figure appeared silently in front of Ding Xiu. He wore a jet-black robe, but his hair was snow-white, and he looked to be no more than twenty years old.

The moment this person appeared in Wan Yi's sight, the panel appeared.

Name: Fang Xiu

[Talent: Life-or-Death Deduction (Gold), Inferior Aptitude (White)]

[Cultivation Level: Mid-Foundation Establishment]

[Destiny: The Old Demon of Azure Sun (Protagonist)]

Ok? !

Wan Yi was in an uproar.

main character!

He actually ran into the main character!

This white-haired young man named Fang Xiu is actually the protagonist of "Biyang Old Demon"!

Moreover, as expected of the protagonist, he is actually the second person besides himself to possess golden talent!

Wan Yi quickly stared at Fang Xiu's golden talent and examined it closely, becoming more and more alarmed the more he looked.

[Life-Saving Deduction (Gold): You can temporarily increase your comprehension by consuming lifespan to deduce cultivation methods.]

A life-or-death deduction?

Consuming lifespan to enhance comprehension and deduce methods?

This looks incredibly powerful! It seems even stronger than my [Extraterrestrial Demon]?

But then Wan Yi thought about it again and comforted himself.

Both have golden talent, so they must each have their own strengths!

My [Extraterrestrial Demon] might be of great use on my cultivation path, otherwise it wouldn't be on par with this [Life-Saving Deduction], it definitely has some value!

At this moment, Fang Xiu glanced at Ding Xiu, who was frozen in place, and a smile of joy appeared on his lips. His tone was calm, but he couldn't hide his happiness:

"Indeed, it is a Bing Fire Dao Body. It is fitting to put it into my furnace and refine it into a large pill to help me break through to the Purple Mansion."
