The Immortal Path's Big Stage-If There's Work to Be Done, Come On In
"Roar--!"
"Hiss--!"
Countless ferocious and terrifying roars came from the crack, and then, countless figures of all shapes and sizes surged out from it like a tide!
Some of them are covered in bony armor, their sharp claws tearing through space;
Some were like floating ghosts, exuding a chilling aura that devoured Divine Soul; others were enormous Devil Creature, as large as mountains, that directly smashed the floating immortal Immortal Island ruins!
"Outer Realm Alien Race! Outer Realm Alien Invasion!!" a cultivator screamed in despair.
The attack descended indiscriminately! The Alien Race killed anyone they saw and wreaked havoc on everything in the Immortal Path!
Their power systems are completely different, filled with corruption and chaos, greatly reducing the effectiveness of many cultivators' Law Technique and Law Treasure.
Your pupils contracted sharply, and without hesitation, you activated the precious Shadow Escape Talisman immediately!
When the talisman is activated.
You see, not far away, several cultivators who were fighting to the death for a certain treasure were instantly annihilated by a Purple-Black Energy Torrent, without even having time to scream.
This is not training, this is war! This is slaughter!
Qin Wangchuan? Those geniuses from great Prodigy? Where are they now? This thought flashed through your mind, but you immediately suppressed it.
What's the use of relying on others? You still have to rely on yourself.
Survive! You must survive!
The power of the void enveloped you, and in the last moment before your form dissipated, you saw an Alien Race lord with bone wings on his back and Twisted War Spear in his hand. He seemed to sense the spatial fluctuations, and his scarlet eyes suddenly turned towards you!
The coldness and murderous intent in those eyes made you feel as if you had fallen into an ice cellar!
Buzz!
The Shadow Escape Talisman takes effect, space distorts, and your figure instantly disappears from your original spot, teleported to the Immortal Path Entrance.
Although it's not far, it's definitely safer compared to the area inside.
Lineage feuds and personal grudges all seemed insignificant in the face of this sudden World Cataclysm.
There was no time to hesitate, nor to covet any fortuitous opportunity.
The burden of the Ji Clan rests on your shoulders, and you know you must leave this Immortal Path, which has turned into Purgatory, immediately!
Filled with a madness born of surviving a catastrophe, he plunged headlong into the spatial vortex that led away from the Immortal Path.
Behind them came the deafening roars of the collapsing immortal Immortal Path, the dying wails of cultivators, and the chilling roars of the Alien Race.
You emerged alive, covered in blood, with a rich harvest, and a heart that was utterly cold and resilient.
But the Seed of Strength, and the hatred for the Qin Clan and even for this world, have taken deep root in your heart.
[The simulated character leaves the Ancient Immortal Path.]
[Simulation ended.]
[Please select the following rewards to inherit:]
1: 160 years of lifespan.
2: Weird Saber Technique imbued with a murderous aura (rank unknown)
3: Origin Source + 420.
Qin Wangchuan stared at the Light Screen indicating the end of the simulation, his fingertips gently stroking his chin, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
"What a pity... the record book of that Artificial Sacred Body didn't appear in the rewards."
His gaze swept over the three options, and the Heavenly Derivation Divine Pupil unconsciously began to operate, golden patterns flowing deep within his pupils.
"Option two may seem Profound Mystery, but its origin is merely a mere Blade Cultivator Prodigy. No matter how mysterious it may be, how high can it be?"
Without hesitation, my fingertip landed on the third option.
[Selection successful, Origin Source +420]
[Current Origin Source: 76.3 times]
In an instant, a vast amount of Origin Power surged into his body like a tidal wave.
Qin Wangchuan shuddered, every inch of his flesh and blood joyfully absorbing this pure energy.
"Call--"
He exhaled a long breath of stale air, and his eyes shone with a brilliant golden light.
The Wheel of Fate silently appeared behind him, its spinning speed seemingly a few degrees faster than before.
"This Ji Lanzhi has a good character, ruthless and decisive, but..." Qin Wangchuan suddenly narrowed his eyes, recalling the Outer Realm Alien Race that appeared at the end of the simulation, "We didn't get much information, only that the Alien Race appeared by tearing open a rift."
"There is too little usable information."
His gaze swept across the system panel, and his fingertip lightly tapped the remaining attempts. "4 attempts remaining..."
"Hopefully, this time the team will go deeper."
Simulation -- Start!
[Ancient Immortal Path, Directional Simulation Begins]
[Remaining Simulation Count: 2]
[You are Shen Xinghe, from the Ten Directions Immortal Court Shen Clan, formerly a member of the Shen family, nearly wiped out by the Ji Clan.]
[Your Lineage once formed a pact with World Devouring Beast from the Outer Realm, borrowing its power to protect the area. Later, due to the Ji Clan's insatiable greed, they plotted to imprison the World Devouring Beast, slaughter your entire clan, and seize control of it.]
[The Ji Clan is now destroyed, but the World Devouring Beast remains imprisoned deep within the Immortal Path.]
[Your purpose in coming here is to take advantage of the time after the Immortal Path has been unclaimed and all the Prodigy have traveled around, to infiltrate the core of the Immortal Path-- ]
[Use blood as the key, and give it freedom!]
"Dive deeper?" Qin Wangchuan's interest was piqued, and he unconsciously sat up straight.
He needs to sit up to see this.
[Entering the Immortal Path - Day 1]
You gaze at the Immortal Path Entrance, draped in a tattered Star Pattern Cloak, your expression complex.
He dug his fingers into his palm, and drops of crimson Blood Bead dripped silently from between his fingers—the blood of the Shen Clan was the key to unlocking the seal.
"Although the Ji Clan has been wiped out, and we no longer need to hide on the Immortal Path, but—"
"Thirty thousand years... How many generations have died for this thing? Was it worth it?" you whispered hoarsely, your pupils slightly confused, but then your expression hardened.
"Whether it's worth it or not, it should end."
"You were imprisoned in exchange for a chance to survive for the Shen Clan. Once the Shen Clan is at peace, someone will come to return your freedom."
"Our Shen Clan has not forgotten this agreement."
Even though you say that, you still feel uneasy.
Ten thousand years have passed, the previous agreement still stands, but whether the Sky Swallowing Beast truly exists has become a legend.
You're not afraid of not reaching the depths, because even if you die, there will be other members of the Shen Clan following in your footsteps.
What's frightening is that there's no Sky Swallowing Beast at the End of Immortal Path.
If that's the case, Shen Clan's tens of thousands of years of perseverance is a joke.
[Day 1 of Entering the Immortal Path]
The moment you stepped onto the Immortal Path, your gaze was drawn to a stunningly beautiful figure.
The woman was dressed in Moonlight White Robe, her skin was as clear and white as snow, and her brows exuded a cool and aloof air, as well as an indescribable noble majesty.
You may not know who this elegant woman is, but you do know the young man beside her.
The man was dressed in Ink Black Mystic Robe, with a handsome face as if carved by a knife. Behind him hung a faint Dark Gold Light Wheel, which even dimmed the glow of the Immortal Path.
"Qin Wangchuan!" you called out softly without thinking.
"The source of the Ji Clan's downfall, and our Shen Clan's... benefactor."
