A Hall Conversation, I Want to Become an Immortal

Inside the Samsara Palace, Su Li and his parents were conversing happily. Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation drank a cup of immortal brew with gusto, laughing as he praised Su Li and bestowed upon him numerous rare treasures to encourage his cultivation.

Su Li stored the gifts in his storage ring, stepped to the center of the hall, and with a solemn expression, looked toward his father and mother seated on the high dais. He bowed respectfully and spoke in a steady voice: "Father, Mother, at the Bamboo Forest Gathering, I intend to ascend to immortality!"

Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation paused, his deep eyes fixed on Su Li. He then met his son's calm and composed gaze; with that one look, the Immortal King knew the outcome.

Within the Samsara Palace, immortal energy swirled, and the atmosphere was grave.

Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation spoke earnestly to Su Li: "Li'er, the realm of a True Immortal is no small matter. It requires a fearless heart and an unwavering Dao heart. Do you understand?"

Su Li rose from his seat in the hall, returned to his place, nodded, and replied: "I shall keep Father's words in my heart."

"Good." Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Breaking through to the True Immortal realm requires not only powerful cultivation and opportunity but also a firm and fearless Dao heart.

Li'er, remember this: when facing the tribulation of immortality, no matter what difficulties or obstacles you encounter, you must never easily give up, nor must you lose your faith.

Otherwise, if the tribulation fails, at best you remain as you are, but at worst, you will be reduced to ashes under the great tribulation, your body destroyed and your Dao extinguished. Remember, stability is paramount."

Listening to his father's earnest words, Su Li felt a deep warmth in his heart. He naturally knew these things, but hearing them from his kin made them feel different; this was the familial affection he had never experienced in his past life.

"I will remember this, Father," Su Li replied.

He knew well that to break through to the True Immortal realm at the Bamboo Forest Gathering, beyond his own efforts and cultivation, he would need even more opportunity and wisdom.

"Li'er, this is the Immortal King Essence Blood I bestow upon you." As Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation spoke, he turned his palm over, and a drop of essence blood radiating brilliant immortal light appeared. Instantly, the powerful aura of a titan permeated the hall, pressing down on Su Li until he felt a tightness in his chest.

"This drop of Immortal King Essence Blood contains infinite power. It can command the life and death of any creature at or below the level of an ordinary Immortal King, bring the dead back to life, and seize the fortune of heaven and earth. In times of dire need, you need only burn it to save your life."

Immortal King Essence Blood contains the Great Dao of heaven and earth and the laws of the universe, possessing supreme power. Yet, precisely because of this, even a titan-level Immortal King dares not condense it often, as the process consumes a great deal of the Immortal King's true body.

Su Li carefully received the essence blood. Looking at the shimmering, bright red drop, he could not hide his excitement and said: "I will surely cherish Father's gift and live up to your expectations."

"There are also these three Immortal King secret artifacts, forged by my own hand specifically to assist you in passing the immortal tribulation. I had thought you might need them in ten thousand years' time, but I never imagined that you, at only twenty, would be ready to ascend."

As Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation spoke, he produced three treasures of varying shapes: a protective inner armor, a Spirit Spring Jade Pendant, and a Tribulation-Suppressing Ancient Shield. The three artifacts were simple in design, with ancient runes carved into them. A powerful Immortal King aura rushed toward him, leaving even Su Li astonished. These three artifacts were incredibly powerful across the heavens; his father had truly spared no expense for him.

"These three artifacts do not require a drop of blood to bind them. When the immortal tribulation descends, simply activate them, and they will alleviate much of the pressure of the tribulation."

Su Li accepted the three secret artifacts, his heart filled with deep emotion.

He knew this was his father's high hopes and love for him, and he was determined not to disappoint, aiming to break through to the True Immortal realm amidst the discourse of Immortal Kings at the Bamboo Forest Gathering.

"Li'er, are you ready?" Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation asked.

Su Li straightened his chest and replied firmly: "Father, I am prepared. I am willing to strive unceasingly for the path of immortality!"

"Good!"

"As expected of my son; you have the mettle of an Immortal King's heir. I look forward to your success," Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation said with a laugh.

He knew that Su Li possessed the potential and determination to break through to the True Immortal realm; as long as he continued to work hard and hold firm to his faith, he would surely shine at the Bamboo Forest Gathering.

Following this, Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation gave Su Li further instructions on the details and precautions for the breakthrough, telling him to remain calm and focused at the critical moment, without a single stray thought or distraction.

At the same time, he urged him to make good use of his cultivation and opportunities, constantly tapping into his own potential to strive for the greatest breakthrough.

Su Li silently committed his father's instructions to memory, his resolve growing even stronger.

He understood that to advance further on the path of cultivation, one needed not only firm faith and an unyielding will but also immense effort and sweat.

Therefore, he decided to redouble his cultivation efforts in the coming days, striving to break through to the True Immortal realm as soon as possible.

Finally, with the blessings and encouragement of his parents, Su Li left the Samsara Palace and returned to his own residence to seclude himself and adjust his state to its peak.

"Chen, Li'er..." True Immortal Moon Radiance leaned against the sturdy shoulder of Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation, her expression heavy with worry for her son.

"Yue, it will be fine. I will protect him on the day he breaks through. Do not worry." Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation gently stroked his companion's hair, soothing her.

"Besides, Li'er... he is not ordinary." Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation spoke with a hint of implication, his tone difficult to fathom.

True Immortal Moon Radiance said nothing more, simply leaning quietly against him. Her brilliant, clear eyes held a glimmer of light, as if she could see into the distant future.

"Mm..."

True Immortal Moon Radiance whispered softly.

Li Palace.

Su Li sat cross-legged atop a spring eye that radiated dense immortal mist. His entire body steamed with immortal energy, and the auspicious fortune of the immortal path filled his supreme physique.

Su Li took a deep breath of the immortal energy wafting from the Immortal Spring Eye. He instantly felt his entire body relax, his pores refreshed, and he felt as light as if he were ascending, as if he had returned to the era when all things were first created—it was comfortable to the extreme.

"The Immortal Spring Eye is truly a heaven-defying object. No wonder Father went to such great lengths to find it. Such a treasure is highly beneficial even to an Immortal King, let alone a mere Supreme of the Extreme Path," Su Li sighed. The Immortal Spring Eye was indeed a rare treasure for cultivation; with this by his side, how could he fail to become a True Immortal?

Su Li then continued his cultivation. The immortal energy drifting from the spring eye was ethereal, and before long, the palace was shrouded in mist, as if he were situated within a supreme immortal palace.
