If Fang Xing was still confused about the Immortal Fate mentioned by the Great Illusionary Mirror at the beginning, after a detailed explanation, Fang Xing finally understood. It turned out that the Immortal Fate was, to a certain extent, a Stage Breakthrough Pill …
Tianyuan cultivators were no strangers to the Level-breakthrough Elixir. It was a kind of elixir that was used to break through the shackles of cultivation after reaching a higher realm. Without enough foundation, it was almost impossible for cultivators to advance by leaps and bounds with their own cultivation. There would always be various obstacles, and the Level-breakthrough Elixir was refined for such obstacles. Back when Fang Xing was in the Blue Cloud Clan, he had come into contact with this kind of elixir quite often. It could even be said that he had relied on this kind of elixir for his early cultivation!
Later on, when he had more opportunities and endless resources, he had a strong foundation. Only then did he bid farewell to this type of pill!
Who would have thought that he would encounter this type of pill again when he was about to knock on the Gate of Immortality …
Of course, the name had already been changed. It was now called the "Immortal Fate"!
The Fate of Immortal Ascension!
The Fate of Immortal Ascension!
"If one doesn't have the Immortal Fate, or if the Immortal Fate is incomplete, then there's no hope of becoming an Immortal?"
After listening to the Great Illusionary Mirror's explanation for a while, Fang Xing seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked.
"That's right. It could be said that there was in the past, but definitely not now …"
Hearing this, the Great Illusionary Mirror nodded and began to explain.
"Since you're from Heavenly Yuan, you should know that the concept of Immortal is constantly changing, right? In ancient times, immortals left Tianyuan to open up the Immortal Realm. At that time, those who had the ability to ascend to the heavens were immortals. Then, in ancient times, the Heavenly Court appeared out of nowhere and ruled over all immortals. Those who were conferred the title of immortal by the Heavenly Court were immortals. After the Heavenly Court was destroyed, the 13 Immortal Kings unified the Great Immortal Realm, and those who were acknowledged by them were immortals. Now, no one knows how many Immortal Kings are left, and no one knows what the Great Immortal Realm is like now. Who knows what it means to become an immortal … "
Only ghosts know what it means to become an Immortal … "The Great Illusionary Mirror's Artifact Spirit quickly explained:" But just like what I told you earlier, human cultivation is a process of breaking free from the shackles of the earth step by step. In the beginning, you have mortal bodies, humans are bound to the earth, and wild beasts are bound to the bodies of beasts. At that time, you are still mortals. After you begin to cultivate, humans learn to fly in the sky, while wild beasts break free from the shackles of the earth. At that time, you are an Enlightened Being. The third step of cultivation is to step into the stars and travel among the stars, breaking free from the shackles of Heavenly Yuan. At that time, you will begin to evolve into a different kind of person. Rather than saying that you are cultivating, it would be more accurate to say that you are becoming a Celestial Being … However, you are still a step away from the Immortal Fate of a Celestial Being! "
"Mortal … Enlightened Being … Celestial Being …"
Fang Xing muttered to himself with his brows tightly furrowed, as if he had been touched by something.
"Heh heh, everyone who enters the Immortal Realm for the first time will have such a lesson. However, I'm not an Immortal Guide, so I can't explain it to you too thoroughly. However, this is the principle. I'll stop here. You can slowly comprehend it by yourself!"
The Great Illusionary Mirror chuckled and didn't say anything else. It was unknown if it didn't want to say it or if it didn't understand.
"If the current Immortals are Celestial Beings, then does this mean that one must obtain an Immortal Fate in order to become an Immortal?"
Fang Xing didn't think for long before asking the next question.
The Great Illusionary Mirror nodded its head with a dignified expression: "That's right. Without an Immortal Fate, no matter how strong you are, you are still an Enlightened Being, not an Immortal! However, an Immortal Fate is a rare item even in the vast universe and can only be refined in the Great Immortal World. That Nine-headed Insect stole half of an Immortal Fate and left thinking that he had the ability to make up for half an Immortal Fate, or that half an Immortal Fate would be useful … Hehe, I can guarantee that he is dreaming! " The more he spoke, the more agitated he became: "There is no way to make up for an Immortal Fate. Moreover, my Immortal Fate can only help one person become an Immortal. You two each have half. In other words …"
Fang Xing took over his words: "In other words, between me and the Nine-headed Insect, only one of us can become an Immortal?"
The Great Illusionary Mirror was slightly stunned before nodding its head: "That is correct!"
"In other words, as long as we take back half an Immortal Fate, we don't even need to go to the Great Immortal World to become an Immortal …"
During this conversation, Fang Xing obtained many shocking answers from the Great Illusionary Mirror. He began to have a vague understanding of the Great Immortal World. He could not help but ponder for a moment before slowly speaking: "Great Illusionary Mirror Demon, how far is it to the Immortal World?"
"… Please call me Great Illusionary Baby!"
The artifact spirit of the Great Illusionary Mirror corrected Fang Xing's form of address, then said: "It should be very far. Back then, when old man Great Illusionary Mirror brought me to this place, it was very fast. However, what is his cultivation level? To him, it would only take a few flashes of time to cross a large galaxy in one step. For us, it would take decades or even centuries to travel. Moreover, I was muddle-headed back then and my memory was not clear. What I know about the Immortal World and cultivation came from those ancient records, so I do not remember clearly …"
"No matter what, I am now 30 years behind him. I cannot delay any longer …"
Fang Xing frowned and said in a low voice: "After all, my goal is not only to become an Immortal, but to find him to take someone away!"
After understanding a little about the Great Immortal World, Fang Xing brought up the matter at hand. Although he had not mentioned it, he was still feeling very depressed. After all, he had refined the Nether Soil in the Sea of Stars and obtained a great fortune, but because of it, he had lost the chance to enter the Infinite Door behind the Sea of Stars. The Nine-headed Bug and the others had used the Infinite Door to arrive at the Immortal Realm in the blink of an eye, but he had spent 30 years on the way. It was likely that he would not be able to catch up to the Nine-headed Bug in these 30 years, right?
"Haha, haha, haha, you already have a baby, what are you worried about?"
To his surprise, the Great Illusionary Baby laughed when he heard the question that troubled Fang Xing the most.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing looked at the Great Illusionary Baby in confusion.
"That Nine-headed Bug stole half of his immortal life and escaped. Do you think he got the upper hand?"
The Great Void Baby said proudly, "You should know that he only cared about escaping with half of his immortal life and didn't dare to fight me head-on. That's why he missed out on a lot of good things. The most important one is … the Immeasurable Door in the depths of this broken world!"
Swoosh!
Fang Xing's eyes lit up. He picked up the Great Illusionary Baby and asked anxiously, "Are you serious?"
His impatience startled the Great Illusionary Baby. "Lower your voice, I'm very fragile …"
…
…
"The one who caused trouble in this immortal realm is this mirror demon. I wanted to destroy him, but he realized his mistake and decided to be my disciple to learn to be a good person. That's why I forgave him and took him in as my disciple. I'm going to bring him to the Great Immortal Realm with me. There's no need to care about those fiendish demons anymore. Let them stay in this broken world, but bring along all the valuable treasures. The dozen or so Dao discussants from all over the galaxy have been poisoned by the Dao miasma. They're loyal to me, so I'll keep them by my side to serve me …"
Fang Xing explained softly to Ao Lie and Lu Sou who had rushed over to help him after clearing out the fiendish demons outside.
Lu Sou and Ao Lie's expressions became extremely interesting. They felt that something was not right …
Alright, this celestial mirror was transformed from a demon mirror. They accepted this answer.
As for Fang Xing wanting to take in a mirror as his disciple, they reluctantly expressed their understanding for the sake of his former disciple …
However …
Fang Xing said that this mirror wanted to learn to be a good person from him …
Why did these words sound so unreliable?
Fang Xing ignored the strange looks in their eyes. After introducing the Great Illusionary Baby, who was carrying a giant bone mirror on its back, he moved closer to them mysteriously. "Most importantly, I've also found a shortcut!"
"Shortcut?"
Ao Lie and Lu Sou did not understand what he meant.
"The Nine-headed Bug stepped into space earlier than us and came to the Celestial Realm earlier than us. You all know that we were slower than him by more than thirty years. The reason was that after the Sea of Stars, there was originally a Door of Infinity built by the ancestors of the Dragon Clan. It was a shortcut that allowed one to cross the endless space. The Nine-headed Bug, Yu Mei 'er, and the others all passed through that Door of Infinity. Unfortunately, we destroyed the Sea of Stars and the Door of Infinity lost its foundation. Before we came out, it had already drifted to who knows where, so we could only painstakingly traverse the long path of stars. It took us a full thirty years to reach the Celestial Realm that they only took a day to reach …"
Fang Xing explained in detail, "I originally thought that we would never be able to catch up with him no matter what. But here, I finally understand where the Immeasurable Gate came from. There are actually three such gates on this Immortal Path. The Dragon's Gate that we passed is the first one. The one that we missed after the Sea of Stars is the second one. As for the third one, it is right under our feet …"
After listening to Fang Xing's words, Ao Lie and Lu Sou were suddenly stunned.
Soon after, both of their expressions became unusually solemn!
Ao Lie's eyes instantly erupted with shocking fury and battle intent, burning fiercely.
"So …"
Fang Xing continued softly, "The Nine-headed Bug missed the third Wuliang Door. It's not a big deal even if he left 30 years earlier than us. Judging from the distance of the starry sky, as long as we pass through the Dragon Gate, we should face two situations … First, we will reach the third checkpoint of the Dragon Tribe's path earlier than him. Second, we will meet him directly …"
"That means …"
Ao Lie swallowed his saliva and continued excitedly, "Finally … caught up?"
