The Blessing of the Immortal

"Look, Miss Liu Ying's boat is here!" someone exclaimed.

In the projection, Liu Ying untied the rope from the mooring post, then jumped into the small boat, which drifted automatically towards the opposite bank without oars.

Blood surged, waves crashed to the sky. The small boat, like a tiny leaf, Levitate.

A sky ablaze with crimson, a splash of white.

Liu Ying's expression was calm; the terrifying scene around her had no effect on her whatsoever, as if she were simply crossing an ordinary river.

Seeing this, Ma Feifei quietly shifted her gaze to Chang Kong and Zhang Yunji, and was surprised to find that they did not react to Liu Ying's phenomenon, but simply calmly focused their attention on Liu Ying's expression.

"Why are they so calm?" Ma Feifei asked, puzzled.

Then Ma Feifei went to ask the system again.

"An illusion." That was the system's answer.

"An illusion?" Ma Feifei was taken aback, looking up at the river in the projection. So it was just an illusion after all?

"That's not right. If it's an illusion, why is Liu Ying completely unharmed?" Ma Feifei continued to ask.

"This belongs to a fellow reader; no comment." The system displayed this message.

"..." Ma Feifei was speechless.

This great river was actually an illusion! This surprised Ma Feifei, because there were so many cultivators inside and outside the Bookstore, including some powerful figures with profound cultivation and unique skills; something like an illusion should be something that no one should fail to notice, but the current situation was that no one considered the scene before them to be an illusion, and everyone thought that this great river of blood was real.

Of course, the most crucial one is Liu Ying, who surprisingly didn't enter the illusion from the very beginning. All the spectators outside the arena were trapped, but she, the one in the trap, managed to escape unscathed.

"Could it be that she also has eyes that see through everything in the world?" Ma Feifei suddenly thought of Gongsun Qiong.

Gongsun Qiong's eyes are like that; apart from Ma Feifei herself having the protection of the system, there is no one or formation in the world that can escape her eyes.

If Gongsun Qiong were present, she could see through such illusions and remain unaffected by them.

Liu Ying's current situation is somewhat similar to Gongsun Qiong's. From the moment she saw the great river, she remained very calm and was not affected by the illusion at all. Therefore, she must also possess a skill similar to Gongsun Qiong to be able to do this.

"But isn't it said that there's only one pair of eyes like Gongsun Qiong's in the world?" Ma Feifei wondered. If everyone had such heaven-defying skills as Gongsun Qiong, it would be like a wholesale market, and the world would be in complete chaos.

"Zhang Yunji!" Ma Feifei suddenly called out to Zhang Yunji.

"Huh?" Zhang Yunji turned around and saw that it was Ma Feifei calling him. He walked over with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Shopkeeper, you were looking for me?"

Ma Feifei nodded, pointed to the Liu Ying in the projection, and asked, "Is that your sister?"

Zhang Yunji was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the shop owner saw the Liu Ying? Am I about to become the shop owner's brother-in-law and reach the pinnacle of life?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunji's hands trembled slightly. Suppressing his inner joy, he said, "Yes, shopkeeper, that is my younger sister, Zhang Liu Ying. She just turned eighteen this year... and is still unmarried!"

Zhang Yunji emphasized the word "unmarried".

Ma Feifei didn't notice, but glanced at Zhang Yunji and couldn't help but think to himself, "Zhang Yunji's looks are just average, yet he has such a beautiful younger sister. I really wonder if the Zhang Clan picked him up from a trash can."

"Yunji! Let me ask you, there must be something wrong with Liu Ying's calm demeanor, right?" Ma Feifei asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yunji was taken aback, wondering why Ma Feifei had changed the subject so quickly, but he still replied, "Well, shopkeeper, you probably don't know yet, but that great river is actually an illusion."

Ma Feifei looked at Zhang Yunji with some surprise and asked, "You figured it out?"

Zhang Yunji shook his head and said, "Of course I can't tell."

"Is that your master?" Ma Feifei asked.

"No, even Master couldn't figure it out," Zhang Yunji shook his head, pointing to the projection, "It was Liu Ying who told us."

Seeing Ma Feifei's puzzled expression, Zhang Yunji temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts and explained, "My master and I also thought this great river was real, but when we saw that Liu Ying's face didn't change at all, we realized it was an illusion."

"Liu Ying has been afraid of blood since she was a child. Although she now possesses the cultivation of the Spirit King second stage, she has never actually killed a single person. So let alone seeing a river of blood like this, even a corpse placed in front of her would frighten her; she would never be so calm."

At this point, Zhang Yunji glanced at the cultivators around him, lowered his head, leaned over the table, and whispered in Ma Feifei's ear, "Our Liu Ying has a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, capable of breaking all illusions in the world."

"Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart?" Ma Feifei looked at Zhang Yunji in shock.

Zhang Yunji nodded, a smug look on his face, and said, "That's right, the shop owner probably doesn't know what a 'Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart' is, does he?"

Ma Feifei shook his head. He only knew that there was a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart in the Investiture of the Gods of the Liu Ying, which had similar effects to the Firefly Heart, but he didn't know if they were the same one.

"Does the shopkeeper know the ancient legend?" Zhang Yunji asked again.

Ma Feifei shook her head.

Zhang Yunji chuckled and said, "In ancient times, there was a legend that there were five types of people who were born with a gift from the immortals. These five types of people were considered to be favored by the immortals, and as long as they did not die, they could become immortals."

"A gift? What gift? Which five types of people?" Ma Feifei looked puzzled. He had been in this world for so long and had never heard anyone mention such an ancient legend!

Moreover, if Ma Feifei remembers correctly, the Azure Dragon Continent has a history of 30,000 years since ancient times; and in these 30,000 years, no immortals have ever appeared on the Azure Dragon Continent.

The Immortal Realm has become a legend on the Azure Dragon Continent.

If such a so-called blessing truly existed, how could no immortals have appeared for 30,000 years?

Zhang Yunji seemed to really appreciate Ma Feifei's thirst for knowledge. He ignored the Liu Ying crossing the river, circled around, and ran inside. Like Ma Feifei, he placed his hands on the table, rested his head on the surface, and said, "This kind of blessing, we call it the Blessing of the Immortal."

"Legend has it that there are five kinds of this blessing: the Eye of Wisdom, the Hand of Compassion, the Exquisite Heart, the Leg of Life, and the Body of an Immortal."
