Mortal World Immortal

"This Bone Cauldron... so that was it. What a coincidence. The thing the Sect Masters of the Upper Realm had searched for for so long actually appeared here."

"Primordial True Scripture—Transcendent Chapter!" Liu Shen immediately understood. No wonder the material of this Mountain Treasure resembled the Primordial True Scripture so closely—it was the long-lost Transcendent Chapter. Even she could not help but feel stirred by such a treasure.

It truly was a case of searching for something everywhere, only to find it here. She had never expected to see the Transcendent Chapter in this place.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

As Shi Jue circulated the Primordial True Scripture, the Bone Cauldron and Bone Fragment simultaneously bloomed with immortal light, releasing countless auspicious rays brighter than the Great Yang. They enveloped the entire Stone Village, making it exceptionally conspicuous throughout the Great Wilderness.

Willow branches swayed, and a hazy radiance descended to conceal the disturbance caused by the phenomenon. Otherwise, a great number of unwelcome guests would soon arrive.

Though dazzling, the light was remarkably gentle. In the next instant, the Bone Cauldron and Bone Fragment rose into the air on their own, drew close, and fused together. Their radiance grew even more splendid.

As time passed, the Bone Fragment and Bone Cauldron finally merged completely. The Transcendent Chapter became whole at once; the depressions along its base and walls vanished, leaving them smooth and flawless.

It now took the form of a cauldron, made of exactly the same material as the Divine Guidance Chapter of the Primordial True Scripture. Its surface was covered in dense illustrations and text, symbols filling nearly every corner. It recorded an ancient method that, like the Divine Guidance Chapter, remained exceedingly primitive.

Shi Jue glanced at the runes above. They were profoundly obscure; his current realm was indeed still insufficient for him to study them.

"The Transcendent Chapter truly is extraordinary!"

Liu Shen sighed softly. Even in her prime, she had never seen this mysterious Bone Book.

"Liu Shen, you should study it first. Shi Hao and I have no use for it yet." Shi Jue handed the small white cauldron to Liu Shen. This concerned becoming immortal, while neither he nor Shi Hao had even reached the Venerable Realm. It was still far too early for them.

"Alright!"

Liu Shen began to study it. The two of them sat nearby and waited quietly, taking the opportunity to learn the Precious Techniques and Heavenly Arts in their hands.

A rudimentary Black Hole appeared behind Shi Hao, emitting faint rumbling sounds, while weak strands of Silver Sword Qi circled Shi Jue's body, carving trail after trail into the ground.

Both possessed exceptional talent, so even the complex Supreme Heavenly Art and Ten Fierce Divine Techniques yielded some initial insights to them in a short time.

"Mortal World Immortal... a path I had never considered. Perhaps the plan should be altered."

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Shen's voice drifted over, carrying a note of reflection.

Like the Divine Guidance Chapter, it used the most simple and primitive heaven-and-earth runes to construct the mysteries of the Great Dao. The Transcendent Chapter's transcendence referred to struggling across the bitter sea of the mortal world, ultimately becoming a Mortal World Immortal and attaining eternal life.

It did not explain any specific method, only presenting an ancient and unadorned Dao for others to comprehend.

A Mortal World Immortal needed to keep struggling within the domain of a Supreme Being until even the passage of time could no longer erode one's body, then undergo ultimate sublimation to attain an immortal Dao Fruit. The most suitable environment for this was the End of Dharma Era.

Though incomparably more difficult than becoming an ordinary True Immortal, attaining the Dao Fruit of a Mortal World Immortal meant becoming flawless and perfect. One would not be affected by the disappearance of immortal substances and immortal Dao laws, and one's combat strength could even rival that of a Quasi-Immortal King.

In her view, a Mortal World Immortal did not rely on heaven and earth, but rather on the sublimation of oneself. Through this, one generated within the Supreme Being Realm the immortal substances found in an environment like the Immortal Realm, thereby stepping into the realm of a Mortal World Immortal.

At Liu Shen's realm, her senses were extremely keen. She had always been exploring the realm above that of a king, and this Mortal World Immortal path gave her new insight.

Her previous plan had been to pass through the Primordial Gate and find what she sought. Now, she could reconsider the path of the Mortal World Immortal; perhaps it suited her better.

As for the End of Dharma Era, the current Chaotic Ancient Era still had many years before its arrival. Liu Shen was in no hurry. When the opportunity arose, she still needed to make a trip to the Sea of Worlds. There, she could find worlds in the End of Dharma Era, and perhaps even the Spiritless Era.

"Liu Shen, it looks like you've gained a great deal." Shi Jue smiled faintly.

Beyond the Primordial Gate was simply too dangerous. He did not want Liu Shen to risk her life by choosing such a perilous path.

"Yes, very much so. The path of the Mortal World Immortal has benefited me immensely. I truly wonder just how astonishingly gifted the being who created the Primordial True Scripture must have been." Liu Shen sighed with emotion.

Shi Jue nodded. Emperor Bone Brother could be called the very model of a heaven-chosen son. He advanced triumphantly all the way, becoming the first Path's End Immortal Emperor known since the creation of heaven and earth, basking in boundless glory. Yet his luck was poor. He was targeted by the Weird Clan and contaminated by Dark True Blood, becoming the Corpse Immortal Emperor.

Later, Shi Hao killed him, then revived him. Afterward, he hunted Weird Immortal Emperors alone and returned treading upon emperor bones, earning the joking title of Emperor Bone Brother.

But his strength truly could not be underestimated. Had he not been delayed for so many years, he would indeed have been qualified to attempt a breakthrough into the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

The Primordial True Scripture he created could be said to surpass even the Ten Fierce Divine Techniques. It could also be said that he had planned far ahead, taking the circumstances of the End of Dharma Era into account.

Liu Shen estimated that Demon King Pu's damaged Dao Fruit could allow her to recover to the Peak of Extreme Dao, perhaps even to the level of a True Immortal. However, she no longer intended to do that. Before she knew of it, it was one thing—but now that she did, how could she not attempt the path of the Mortal World Immortal?

"Liu Shen, I want to enter the Void God Realm again. The two-year period is up now." A mischievous smile appeared on Shi Hao's lips. He had not forgotten how he had been mocked back then.

"Are you sure you won't break something else and get expelled again?" Liu Shen fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"No. I'm just going to break a few records." Shi Hao smiled awkwardly. Was he really that unreliable in Liu Shen's eyes?

"Are you sure you're not going to set a few unprecedented new records?" Shi Jue teased.

"Last time, I looted the place. This time, I'll tear down some buildings. Either way, I have to cause a little commotion."

Liu Shen was immediately left speechless. If he were expelled again this time, it might be for far more than two years. Still, she did not refuse Shi Hao's request.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll send you to the Void God Realm then, and afterward, I'll cleanse both of you." Liu Shen said.

At the mention of cleansing, the two remembered that when they had left Stone Village, Liu Shen had indeed said she would cleanse them. It would bring many benefits for their futures.

"Mm, got it."

The two returned to Stone Village. The men, women, old, and young were still busy there, carefully planting Spiritual Medicine and watering it with spiritual spring water.

Liu Shen fell silent and continued comprehending the Transcendent Chapter, preparing for her future attempt at becoming a Mortal World Immortal.
