Within Purple Mountain, Wushi sat cross-legged on the ground, his entire being in a mysterious state. He did not even awaken at Yang Qing's arrival.
Yang Qing silently watched Wushi. He could sense that Wushi was currently at a crucial stage of transformation.
"The path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal truly is difficult!" Yang Qing sighed.
The path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal—merely conceiving of such a path to immortality had already stumped countless astonishing geniuses.
Take the supreme beings within the Forbidden Zones of Life, for instance. Which of them had not reigned supreme in their own era? Yet not a single one had considered the possibility of becoming immortal within the mortal world.
To embark upon the path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal and continue transforming without end was a one-in-ten-thousand occurrence even among Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors.
Whether it was Ji Xukong or Great Emperor Wushi, both were peerless prodigies. Yet on the path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal, they could only advance step by step.
Every transformation was a test between life and death. Like Great Emperor Wushi at this very moment, he stood between life and death.
If he transformed successfully, he would naturally live a brand-new life and take another step forward on the path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal.
But if the transformation failed, there would be only death and no life. He would quietly pass away amid the years, with no one ever knowing.
Moreover, such transformations would last through long, drawn-out ages. During that time, no one knew how many life-and-death trials they would face.
Still, he believed that for a peerless genius like Wushi, the path of transformation into a Mortal World Immortal was merely a process.
