The Continent's First Immortal

Yun Qingyang didn't believe it, but surprisingly, he didn't attack Ma Feifei. Instead, he sat down on the edge of the bed, frowned, and said, "Ma Feifei, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Huh? I didn't sleep with you..." Ma Feifei blurted out in surprise, feeling a bit awkward.

"What do you mean?" Yun Qingyang looked at Ma Feifei, completely bewildered.

"N-nothing... tell me what's wrong." Ma Feifei quickly denied it, knowing that if he tried to explain, he'd probably be skinned alive.

After assessing his own condition, Yun Qingyang said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "I think I'm about to break through..."

"What!" Ma Feifei jumped out of bed, looking at Yun Qingyang in astonishment, and said, "You're about to enter the Immortal Realm?"

"No, it seems like something is blocking it," Yun Qingyang said hesitantly.

Ma Feifei immediately understood what Yun Qingyang meant by the obstacle: the Great Dao was flawed. Therefore, even though Yun Qingyang now possessed the strength to enter the Immortal Realm, he was unable to successfully step into the Immortal Realm.

There's no other reason than that Yun Qingyang achieved the level of entering the Immortal Realm purely by amplifying his cultivation through the Book Spirit Stone. This method of breakthrough still falls under the laws of the Azure Dragon Continent, and under the constraints of these laws, Yun Qingyang was unable to break through.

Cang Lan is different. She entered the Immortal Realm after passing the test of the Tribulation Book World. The Tribulation Book World evolves its own laws, which are different from the laws on the Azure Dragon Continent. Therefore, she was not affected by the flaws in the Great Dao and was able to achieve the Immortal Realm.

"Don't rush, let's see in a while." Ma Feifei could only comfort her for now. Before the Great Dao was fully restored, he had no way to help Yun Qingyang break through this Barrier, unless he gave her a Tribulation Book right now.

However, it is obviously impossible. Putting aside whether the Tribulation Book can be given away voluntarily, just considering the level of danger, Ma Feifei would never let Yun Qingyang venture into the Tribulation Book World.

Yun Qingyang naturally listened to Ma Feifei; she didn't actually value cultivation level that much.

"Alright, since you're alright, I'm relieved. Goodbye." Ma Feifei cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Qingyang and then dashed away, leaving a bewildered Yun Qingyang behind.

Once outside, everything had returned to normal. If it weren't for the maple tree next to it disappearing into thin air, it would have been as if nothing had ever happened.

"Poor maple tree." Ma Feifei glanced at the spot where the maple tree had been, now empty except for a pile of dirt. He shook his head in regret and then walked towards the Bookstore.

"Shopkeeper!" Zhang Yunji greeted him as soon as he entered the Bookstore.

"What's wrong?" Ma Feifei asked casually, sitting behind the cashier.

With nothing to do, he decided to study the "Su Nu Jing), which was one of the books Ma Feifei absolutely had to read, so he had to get on with it quickly.

"The leader has arrived," Zhang Yunji said softly. Although Mo Xie was only famous five hundred years ago, in reality, everyone had only heard rumors about him, and even people from the same era as Mo Xie rarely saw his true face.

After all, it was Demon Sect, an organization even more mysterious than the Phantom Organization in the Azure Dragon Continent. As the Demon Cult Leader Mo Xie was naturally elusive and rarely seen.

So even if Mo Xie is openly reading in the Bookstore, no one will recognize him. But if Zhang Yunji calls him by his name, Mo Xie's identity will be exposed.

These two words are far too resounding.

"What's he doing here?" Ma Feifei frowned, glanced around, and, not seeing Mo Xie, asked, "Where is he?"

"I'll call him over right now." Zhang Yunji said, and jogged towards the bookshelf.

Ma Feifei closed the drawer he had just opened, looking at the bookshelf with interest. He was curious as to why Mo Xie had suddenly returned to the Mysterious Bookstore.

Lost in thought, Zhang Yunji was already rushing back, followed by a middle-aged man in black robes. The middle-aged man and Ma Feifei locked eyes, and the man's face revealed a sly, ingratiating smile. Who else could it be but Mo Xie?

"Greetings, shopkeeper! Mo Xie greets you." Mo Xie dashed up to Ma Feifei, holding the "Investiture of the Gods" and bowing respectfully.

"What? You've figured it out?" Ma Feifei glanced casually at the "Investiture of the Gods" in Mo Xie's hand and said.

The reason for asking this question is that the news that Cang Lan has entered the Immortal Realm because of the Tribulation Book should have spread throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

Mo Xie's cultivation had already reached the Half-Step Immortal Realm. Ma Feifei certainly wouldn't believe that he didn't have the desire to become an immortal; he was just intimidated by that so-called 'god'.

The fact that Cang Lan has entered the Immortal Realm and is still completely unharmed is bound to make Mo Xie's heart restless.

"Hehe, the shopkeeper is truly a prophet. Xiao Mo has figured it out. The path of cultivation is about stealing yin and yang and seizing creation. If one is hesitant and afraid of death, then what's the point of cultivation?" Mo Xie said seriously.

"Hehe..." Ma Feifei sneered. This was probably the most shameless cultivator he had ever seen since he came to the Azure Dragon Continent. As expected of the Demon Cult Leader, seeing is believing.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Ma Feifei.

"It's too late for you to regret it now, you've missed your chance." Ma Feifei said calmly. He didn't mean to mess with Mo Xie, but the Tribulation Book had disappeared after Mo Xie refused. The Tribulation Book that the Liuli nurtured had specific characteristics, and it was impossible to produce a new Tribulation Book after it disappeared.

Moreover, even if it were taken out, it might not still be Mo Xie's Tribulation Book.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Mo Xie's face fell.

Why did he refuse to enter the Immortal Realm before? Wasn't it because he was afraid of being captured and Book-Nurturing Slave? Yet Cang Lan, the Grand Dean Vast Academy, still entered the Immortal Realm with the help of the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, and the news has been out for several days, yet Cang Lan is still safe and sound.

Now, I've heard that Cang Lan is returning to the Vast Academy to convene some kind of Under-Heaven Academy Conference, inviting academies from all five kingdoms except Chu Kingdom to gather at the Vast Academy. It's a grand and prestigious event.

Especially now that Cang Lan has been crowned with the title of the Continent's First Immortal, he has become the target of all cultivators, making Mo Xie extremely envious.

If he had agreed to Ma Feifei's request back then, he, Mo Xie, might have become the Continent's First Immortal.

Thinking about it this way, Mo Xie was filled with deep regret.

"Are you reading this 'Investiture of the Gods'?" Ma Feifei glanced at the book in Mo Xie's hand and asked.

"Yes, I was bored just now and found this book on the bookshelf, so I took it down and read it for a while. However, the content is a bit profound, and I don't understand it very well." Mo Xie, as expected of the Demon Cult Leader, had a strong mental recovery ability and answered Ma Feifei's question with a smile in an instant.

"Oh... I don't understand..." Ma Feifei stroked his chin and said meaningfully, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you're shameless enough."

"Shameless?" Mo Xie was a little confused, not understanding what Ma Feifei meant.

Ma Feifei silently stood up from the cashier, spread out her left hand, and gestured to Mo Xie.

Mo Xie glanced at Ma Feifei, then at the copy of "Investiture of the Gods" in his hand, and handed it to Ma Feifei.

"Xiao Mo, I'm bestowing upon you a great fortune." Ma Feifei smiled sinisterly, walked to Mo Xie's side, placed "Investiture of the Gods" on the cashier's counter, and slammed Mo Xie's head down onto it.

"Hiss!" Mo Xie was startled and subconsciously tried to use his Spiritual Power to retreat, but found that his thought was instantly suppressed by a powerful force. Mo Xie could even feel that if he Sheer Force his Spiritual Power, his fate would be terrible.

Left with no other choice, Mo Xie had to give up activating his Spiritual Power and let Ma Feifei press his head down to smash it against the "Investiture of the Gods" book.

"Good heavens! Is the shop owner going to kill me out of anger? I should never have come! Sigh! It's all because of greed..."

Mo Xie's last thought was this sentence, and then he heard a 'bang' as his head hit the cash register.

"Buzz~!"

The copy of "Investiture of the Gods" that Mo Xie had hit suddenly burst forth with blazing golden light, enveloping Mo Xie completely, and then Mo Xie disappeared from the Bookstore.

"Ding ding ding~~"

A brilliant golden light shone directly onto the roof.
