With the Body-as-Seed System, once the physical body became powerful enough to be impossible to wear down, even a single drop of blood could return against the heavens. It could be called a hexagonal warrior, with lifespan as its only weakness.
An invincible body, undying and indestructible—this was the confidence Shrouding the Heavens cultivators relied on to challenge opponents above their level.
But that did not mean the Primordial Spirit was fragile. On the contrary, if the full score was one hundred, then the Primordial Spirit scored one hundred. It was merely that the physical body exceeded the maximum, reaching one hundred and fifty, or even two hundred—an entirely overpowered standard.
"Come!"
Lin Xian soared into the air and traveled through the sky. With a sharp Daoist cry, the divine light between his brows smashed through stone cliffs one after another before circling back like a flying sword. It appeared indestructible, yet it also resembled a breeze brushing against one's face, instantly perceiving every change nearby.
Under Divine Sense, people and objects were no longer concrete forms, but clusters of differently shaped qi, revealing a real yet unconventional world where he could sense everyone's cultivation and aura.
This was an incomparably delicate level of control, blending gentleness within ferocity. He could annihilate the entire area outside the pill chamber while leaving everyone within it completely unharmed.
"Rumble!"
The blasted stone wall kicked up towering clouds of dust as countless falling rocks came rolling down with thunderous crashes, as though mountains were collapsing and the earth splitting apart.
Everyone watching trembled inwardly, nearly losing their voices.
After a long while, an Otherworlder from the Quanzhen Sect murmured in a dreamlike groan, "Once, in a game, I sent forth a divine sword and shattered the First Peak of Zhongnan. In the morning I roamed the northern mountains; by dusk, Cangwu. With a green serpent in my sleeve, my courage was boundless..."
That had been Lü Zu's realm. He was a True Immortal said to have attained Ascension and Immortality!
Could it be that today, they would witness the birth of an immortal?
In an instant, every Otherworlder was unable to contain their excitement. Immortality was the goal of all cultivators. If not for becoming immortals, how many people in this age of material desires would be willing to settle down and cultivate?
It was precisely because of that faint, elusive hope that generations upon generations had sought immortals and pursued the Dao.
And now, myth had entered reality, while Legend had appeared in the Human World!
[Legend Value: 1%...3%...5%...] [Creating a Famous Scene. Please keep up the good work, host.]
The system's ethereal voice rang out beside his ears. Lin Xian smiled knowingly. He had already touched the threshold of leaving his name in history.
The system's standard for a famous scene required it to be recorded in history, sung of for a thousand years, ten thousand years, until history became a story, stories became legends, and legends became myths.
This was easy to achieve in the Shrouding the Heavens universe. As long as one cultivated the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, even its lowest level could grant a lifespan of one or two thousand years. Sages could live five or six thousand years—enough to span the history of an entire civilization.
As long as one left behind an indelible mark, high-level cultivators would remember it and naturally pass it on to the next generation. Over time, myths and legends would take shape.
The Inhuman World did not have that kind of quality, so he could only make up for it with quantity!
Bathed in sunlight, Lin Xian's body was crystalline, flawless as white jade, with not the slightest impurity. It carried a faint glow, as though he were an immortal lord who had descended from the clouds. An invisible majesty made people lower their heads in shame.
"I am utterly invincible in the Human World!"
Lin Xian spoke calmly. His voice was not loud, yet it rang within everyone's hearts. Amid countless fanatical gazes, he took a step forward and was instantly enveloped in platinum radiance. Beneath his feet formed a dazzling golden-and-silver Sun-Moon Immortal Bridge, transformed from Divine Runes and carrying him directly toward the Other Shore.
Faintly, wind and thunder rumbled. Lin Xian strode through the air like a Divine Spirit.
Only then did the people left behind come to their senses and pull out their phones, snapping pictures frantically and excitedly spreading the news to their Otherworlder friends.
"Brother, did you know? I just saw an immortal!"
"Perfected Lin? No, that was the Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable!"
As the rumors spread, that golden-and-silver Immortal Bridge had already become Lin Xian's unique emblem, as though he were an immortal stepping out from the Southern Heavenly Gate in myth, guiding all beings toward Immortality.
The Divine Bridge Immortal!
At that moment, he stood shoulder to shoulder with the immortals of past ages. Like a great sun, he illuminated eternity. The Inhuman World and the mundane world alike had no choice but to record his name.
The Wind Family was shaken! The Company was shaken! Otherworlders throughout the country were shaken! Otherworlders across the entire world were shaken!
Compared to this, what Luotian Grand Ceremony? What Eight Extraordinary Skills? None of it was worth mentioning.
What were immortal arts worth? There was a living immortal right here.
Within the Company, Zhao Fangxu stared blankly at the sky. After a long while, he let out a breath of turbid air. He was grateful that he had made the right choice and preserved peace in the Inhuman World.
"Book me a plane ticket. I'm going to Mount Longhu," Zhao Fangxu ordered.
The secretary beside him froze and said softly, "President Zhao, the Luotian Grand Ceremony is only an event for young Otherworlders. If you go... wouldn't that be making too much of it?"
"The Luotian Grand Ceremony?" Zhao Fangxu suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you know what the Luotian Grand Ceremony is for?"
As the chairman's secretary, he assisted Zhao Fangxu in handling conflicts large and small throughout the Inhuman World, so he naturally possessed a great deal of insider information. Without hesitation, he replied, "It is for the Celestial Master to choose someone for Zhang Chulan..."
"No, no, no." Zhao Fangxu shook his head and said meaningfully, "I mean its original purpose."
Its original purpose? The secretary was slightly stunned. Then cold sweat poured down his forehead. The Luotian Grand Ceremony's most fundamental purpose was not some secret. Even ordinary people could learn it with a quick search on their phones.
It was one of the grandest rituals in Daoist fasting and offering ceremonies. Luo Heaven meant the heavens, the gathering of all heavens and earths.
Simply put, it was to invite the immortals of all heavens to pray blessings for all living beings under heaven.
"I may be the Company's chairman, but I am also an Otherworlder." A sharp glint burst from Zhao Fangxu's clouded eyes as he said gravely, "How could I miss such a grand occasion?"
Whether this Luotian Grand Ceremony would truly pray for blessings was uncertain, but there really was an immortal this time.
Perhaps this would be the most genuine Luotian Grand Ceremony in history.
"Y-you mean that Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable will also attend the Luotian Grand Ceremony?" Even the usually composed secretary could not help crying out. "He... he..."
The secretary did not dare voice the final word, but inwardly he was screaming. He's a god!
The Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable attending the Luotian Grand Ceremony—wasn't that like having an adult compete in a baby cup?
That was not how this was supposed to work. It was simply too shamelessly overpowered.
"The Luotian Grand Ceremony is far from his only goal..." Zhao Fangxu murmured, his gaze profound. On Mount Longhu, there was still One Pinnacle, whose might had dominated the Human World for a hundred years.
Whether the Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable was truly an immortal would soon have an answer.
"President Feng, the Company has broadly invited Otherworlders from across the land to attend the Luotian Grand Ceremony, but some Otherworlders under heaven have still not come. It is truly regrettable."
"Therefore, after the event concludes, I have decided to discuss the Dao with the Heaven-Connecting Daoist."
"Please pass along the message for me."
Lin Xian returned to the World Association. While taking Feng Baobao away, he also asked Feng Zhenghao, one of the Ten Elders, to deliver a challenge on his behalf.
An immortal from heaven against the invincible man of the Human World.
Divine Bridge Immortal Venerable Lin Xian would discuss the Dao with Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei.
Once such news spread, even the most detached and emotionless Otherworlders would be moved. To witness whether an immortal truly existed and who was the number one under heaven, they would surely find every possible way to rush to Mount Longhu and watch the battle.
"Immortal Venerable, are you really going to fight?" Feng Zhenghao asked in a trembling voice, excited for the earth-shaking battle to come.
No matter who won, they would be recorded in history!
"I am utterly invincible in the Human World. If I do not battle heaven, then whom should I battle?" Lin Xian said softly and calmly. "Let me witness the majestic heavenly might of the Five Thunder Righteous Method, said to have been born from Heavenly Tribulation."
