Everyone's spirits soared once more.
What was the fourth?
[The fourth was a Formation beneath this very ground. It had only one effect: it made the Immortals' descendants want to stay here. The longer they remained, the stronger that desire grew.]
Li Zi understood at once. [Of course! The benefits of the first three things couldn't be felt overnight. The environment here is harsh, and living conditions are poor. Many people came looking, then left when they found no treasure. But staying here was the real treasure. Those two Immortals were so clever!]
So that was it!
That was the real treasure!
Li Zi clicked her tongue in admiration as she listened.
[Those two Immortals went to such painstaking lengths.]
The system said, [Exactly. Any descendants of theirs who came here already had hopes of pursuing cultivation. Once they arrived, they couldn't leave. I believe that in a few hundred or a few thousand years, these descendants will each overcome their tribulations and become Immortals. Then they'll be able to meet those two.]
A male cultivator flushed bright red with excitement and sprang to his feet.
Before he could speak, the two people beside him pushed him back down together.
Both shot him warning looks.
What are you doing?
Listen! She might say more!
Could they really meet the two Immortals?
All they had to do was overcome their tribulations and become Immortals?
Those two had lived millions of years ago, yet they could still meet them?
Li Zi asked, [They can still meet those two Immortals? Are they still around?]
[Of course. Immortals live forever and never age. Once they overcome their tribulations and become Immortals, they shed their mortal flesh and become another kind of eternal being. The Immortal Realm is in quite a mess these days, too.
