The Method of Becoming an Immortal
Without hesitation, Chang Kong instantly returned to the desert, determined to rescue the mother and daughter. (Please search for the most complete novel!)
The monks outside the Bookstore were somewhat surprised to see this.
Everyone remained silent, selectively ignoring Chang Kong's actions, though each person's gaze held a complex expression.
Chang Kong painstakingly rescued the mother and daughter from the yellow sand, but when he turned to head towards that paradise on earth, he found that they had vanished.
Mirage!
Chang Kong's eyes were filled with disappointment; the oasis in the desert was indeed a lie.
"Grandpa, here you go!"
Just then, the little girl suddenly walked up to Chang Kong, handed Chang Kong the water bottle, and smiled sweetly at Chang Kong with her big, weathered face.
Chang Kong was taken aback, glanced at the water bottle in the little girl's hand, and subconsciously took it from her.
"Is this the legendary 'good deeds are rewarded'?" someone couldn't help but ask upon seeing this scene.
"Perhaps!" The practitioners outside the Bookstore sighed in unison, falling silent.
In their world, they haven't seen such a scene in ages.
At least if it were them, they wouldn't have chosen to go back and save the mother and daughter in the first place; in fact... they would have tried to Snatch the water bottle from their hands when they first saw them.
In that case, the current situation would not have occurred.
In the projection.
Chang Kong was so thirsty that he opened the bottle to pour some into his mouth, but then suddenly stopped.
Because Chang Kong eye, Chang Kong caught a glimpse of the little girl's mother's equally chapped lips.
Chang Kong frowned as he gently shook the kettle.
"Grandpa, drink up!" the little girl called out happily.
Chang Kong nodded, raised the water bottle, tilted it back to his mouth, and took a swig.
Then he put it down, put the cork back in, handed it to the little girl, and said gratefully, "Thank you."
"Hehe, you're welcome." The little girl was very happy, skipping and jumping as she ran towards her mother with the water bottle.
Chang Kong watched the little girl's retreating figure, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
But the next moment, Chang Kong's expression changed!
The little girl lunged so hard that her mother couldn't catch her and was knocked to the ground. The package she had just picked up fell down again, and perhaps because it had fallen several times, the knot in the package came undone, and the contents fell out.
Besides some clothes, there was a black book lying there quietly; faintly, the black book also emitted a faint golden light.
Chang Kong glanced over and saw the words on the book cover.
The Method of Becoming an Immortal!
Chang Kong's breathing quickened instantly, his gaze fixed intently on the black book!
Even the practitioners outside the Bookstore were filled with shock upon witnessing this scene!
"It must be fake, right?" a cultivator whispered.
"Black cover, Epic-grade quality! Don't you think it's fake?" a cultivator in the crowd replied, panting heavily.
Yes! A black cover! Just by looking at the color of this book, everyone knows that it must be a book from Divine Bookstore.
The quality of books at the Divine Bookstore is categorized by color, ranging from the lowest quality white, blue, and yellow, to the newest black.
The black book is the highest quality book ever seen in the Divine Bookstore; there's only one in the entire Bookstore!
It is the Analects that is currently suspended in mid-air.
Just how powerful are Epic-grade books? Nobody really knows.
All they knew was that this copy of the Analects could instantly transport someone thousands of miles away; all they knew was that a beam of golden light emitted from this copy of the Analects could directly elevate a cultivator at the Spirit King realm by three levels.
This is only what they know; there is so much more they don't know...
Now, an Epic-grade- quality book lies there quietly, readily available.
"Did you see that? The book's name is 'The Method of Becoming an Immortal'!" The cultivator stammered, pointing incredulously at the black book in the projection.
Becoming an immortal! This is the realm that all cultivators on the Azure Dragon Continent strive to reach throughout their lives.
For thirty thousand years, not a single immortal has appeared in the Azure Dragon.
Immortals have become legends.
Everyone is trying to reach that level, but no one can actually do it.
For 30,000 years, countless exceptionally talented individuals have been stuck at that hurdle, unable to cross it in their entire lives.
And now, a book with a straightforward title is placed in front of you, telling you that taking it will reveal the path to immortality...
Nothing in this world is more Captivate than becoming an immortal!
The same applies to Chang Kong.
Chang Kong was having difficulty breathing, and as his breathing became heavier, the amount of oxygen that the swirling yellow sand could provide him was decreasing.
His squinting eyes were now somewhat Red.
The Captivate was too great, so great that Chang Kong was almost losing his mind.
The mother helped the little girl up, then picked up the clothes and the black quality book that had fallen to the ground, put them in her bag, tied a knot, and put it back on her back.
Goodbye, Grandpa.
The little girl happily waved goodbye to the Chang Kong.
Chang Kong remained silent, quietly watching the mother and daughter who were about to leave.
"Are you stupid?! Just take it!" The cultivators outside couldn't help but shout as they saw the mother and daughter horses about to leave.
"That's right! Hurry up and snatch it! If you snatch it, you can become an immortal!" The other cultivators echoed, their faces filled with anxiety.
Although the book wasn't in front of them, if Chang Kong could obtain it and become an immortal, he could at least break the curse that the Azure Dragon Continent hadn't had an immortal for 30,000 years.
If Chang Kong breaks this curse, perhaps in the future, many, many immortals will appear, and the ancient legends of immortals walking everywhere and Spirit Saint as dogs will reappear.
This is a tremendous boon for the entire Azure Dragon Continent.
"Do we still need to pretend at a time like this?" one cultivator couldn't help but curse.
"Could it be a trap?" one practitioner questioned.
"So what if it's a trap? At worst, the mission will fail. Do you think this the Analects will reward us with an Epic-grade book?" another cultivator retorted.
"But Elder Chang Kong was doing a task in the Analects, wasn't he? Maybe that book is fake." The cultivator still felt there was something wrong with it.
The cultivator who had previously refuted him glanced at him and said, "Are you stupid? I already told you they're in the Azure Dragon Continent, not the Book World. If that book is fake, then the mother and daughter are fake too, and the entire desert is fake. But if all of this is fake, do you think Chang Kong, at the peak of the Spirit Emperor Eighth Stage realm, wouldn't be able to tell? Brother, you probably don't know, but besides being at the peak of the Spirit Emperor Eighth Stage, Elder Chang Kong is also a Ninth-tier formation master!"
Ninth-tier formation master, he is skilled at identifying arrays; even god-level arrays cannot escape his notice.
In the entire Azure Dragon Continent, there are no more than five god-level formations.
Higher levels... none.
Since Chang Kong's breathing quickened after seeing the book, it proved that he knew the book was definitely not a figment of an array, but real.
That also means that the book is of Epic-grade quality.
It is the true Method of Becoming an Immortal.
"Wait!" The Chang Kong in the projection finally moved!
