Chapter 287: Path to Becoming an Immortal

When the skeleton flew out, Lin Jiufeng was nowhere to be seen. In the vast sea, the dark clouds receded and the black sea came crashing down with a loud sound.

The skeleton looked into the distance. All it saw were memories of the past.

“I’ve wasted so many years in vain. I want to go to the place in my memory to take a look.” The skeleton let out a self-mocking laugh and flew away from the vast sea. He wanted to go to the former territory of the Human Race and find the traces of his people from 10,000 years ago.

…

Lin Jiufeng left the sea and came to land. He headed straight for the Kunlun Mountains.

He wasn’t in a hurry to return to the imperial capital. Instead, he went to the Kunlun Mountains and brought the Kunlun Immortal’s cenotaph to Winged Dragon so that the Kunlun Mountains could completely submit to the Yuhua God Dynasty. Then, he would go find out the life of the Kunlun Immortal.

‘The Kunlun Mountains is also considered to be a big faction among the Myriad Races. They should have records of the ways in becoming an immortal. Moreover, there should be a relatively detailed record of the Kunlun Immortal. I didn’t investigate thoroughly the last time I went there. This time, I want to investigate properly.’ Lin Jiufeng told himself in his heart.

He quickly headed for the Kunlun Mountains.

The current Kunlun Mountains had already been completely unified by the Nest of 10,000 Dragons. Facing the emergence of the True Dragons, the other races couldn’t resist at all. They were completely no match for the Nest of 10,000 Dragons.

Especially Winged Dragon.

After she came into being, the aura that she emanated was enough to sweep through the Kunlun Mountains.

Winged Dragon, who was a ninth stage False Immortal, still had room for improvement. Since she had agreed to Lin Jiufeng’s request, she would prepare seriously.

Hence, after Lin Jiufeng arrived at the Kunlun Mountains, what he saw was a peaceful Kunlun Mountains. The various races living here had already been completely ruled by the Nest of 10,000 Dragons.

Lin Jiufeng silently arrived at the familiar Nest of 10,000 Dragons.

No one could detect his whereabouts and aura. At this current stage, he was stronger than everyone in the Nest of 10,000 Dragons.

In the depths of the Nest of 10,000 Dragons, Winged Dragon was breathing in and out immortal energy.

In this world, under the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy, countless surging spiritual energies surged out. These vast amounts of spiritual energies allowed mortals to enjoy the convenience brought by the era too.

And under this background, there was something special in the material world.

Immortal energy!

This immortal energy wasn’t anything particularly rare. It had always existed in this world, but it was very rare and difficult to discover. One could only absorb it after reaching a certain height.

In the False Immortal Realm, there was one stage called the Breathing of Immortal Energy.

Discovering the immortal energy among the substances of the world, then breathing in and out the immortal energy to replace the spiritual energy, making one stronger.

Winged Dragon was currently breathing in and out immortal energy.

Lin Jiufeng was also basically only absorbing immortal energy now.

Da da da!

Lin Jiufeng walked in. His footsteps weren’t concealed, so he was discovered by Winged Dragon.

Winged Dragon stopped breathing and opened her house-sized eyes to stare at Lin Jiufeng.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, you’re back so soon?” Winged Dragon’s body shrank and she transformed into a woman. She wore a new moon dress, looking mature and beautiful as she looked at Lin Jiufeng with anticipation in her eyes.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t speak. He took out the cenotaph of the Kunlun Immortal and placed it in front of Winged Dragon.

When she saw the coffin, her body trembled. Her eyes instantly changed. She asked with a trembling voice, “This is…”

“The cenotaph of the Kunlun Immortal,” Lin Jiufeng said softly.

Winged Dragon didn’t know if she was happy or sad. She walked forward and reached out to touch the cenotaph. She asked, “Why is it a cenotaph?”

“There are words carved by the Kunlun Immortal and his clothes inside. Take a look at them yourself.” Lin Jiufeng didn’t explain. He walked to the side, giving Winged Dragon some space.

Winged Dragon slowly stretched out her hand. Hands trembling, she pushed open the coffin and saw the clothes of the Kunlun Immortal.

“It’s his clothes. This quasi-immortal artifact is what he wore before he left.” Winged Dragon’s voice trembled and tears fell from her eyes.

Lin Jiufeng stood quietly at the side. He watched calmly as Winged Dragon laid in. Then, she stretched out her jade-like hand and stroked the words carved by the Kunlun Immortal.

She read each word carefully and felt sad.

After a long time, she asked sadly, “What exactly happened back then?”

Lin Jiufeng said, “I don’t know what happened back then either. Are there any records of the life of the Kunlun Immortal in the Nest of 10,000 Dragons?”

“There aren’t many records. The Kunlun Immortal has been very low-key all his life. His childhood was very tough. He was a child born from the union of a human and a monster. He was abandoned when he was young. After entering the Nest of 10,000 Dragons, he had always remained unknown. He was an ordinary clansman in the Nest of 10,000 Dragons. It wasn’t until the rise of the Primordial God Mountain threatened the Nest of 10,000 Dragons that he appeared out of nowhere and shocked the world. He descended to the world at that time as an immortal, but he was still threatened by the people of the Primordial God Mountain,” Winged Dragon said sadly.

When the Kunlun Immortal was threatened by the Primordial God Mountain, he wasn’t as powerful as when he killed the God of Darkness in the later stages.

And after gaining strength, the Kunlun Immortal didn’t go to look for trouble with the Primordial God Mountain. To him, the people from the Primordial God Mountain were nothing at all. The God of Darkness was the true mastermind. Only by solving the God of Darkness could the problem be solved at the foundation.

“What battle did the Kunlun Immortal go to in the end?” Winged Dragon asked Lin Jiufeng with red eyes.

“I don’t know. I also want to investigate thoroughly, but the problem now is that I don’t know anything at all. That’s why I came here. I want to look through the books of the Nest of 10,000 Dragons and see if the Kunlun Immortal has left any words behind,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“No problem. The Kunlun Immortal left behind a handwritten letter. It’s my most precious item. It contains the Kunlun Immortal’s understanding of cultivation. There isn’t much else inside.” Winged Dragon got up from the coffin and took out a well-preserved and exquisite handwritten letter.

This was a handwritten letter written by the Kunlun Immortal.

It carried the aura of an immortal.

Lin Jiufeng reached out to take it and read it carefully.

Winged Dragon didn’t look at the letter. She had read it countless times and was already familiar with it. The letter wasn’t as important as the cenotaph. She looked at the cenotaph sadly.

The only thing that comforted her now was that the Kunlun Immortal wasn’t confirmed to be dead. He had only dragged his injured body to participate in a very dangerous battle.

Lin Jiufeng flipped through the letter. There was really no record of anything on it. It was all about the Kunlun Immortal’s comprehension and understanding of cultivation.

Lin Jiufeng flipped to the last part.

He saw what he wanted to see.

The Kunlun Immortal’s understanding of becoming an immortal.

The Kunlun Immortal wrote a few lines of words in his letter regarding this.

“A long, long time ago, there were actually several paths to becoming an immortal. They were divided into difficult, dangerous, and simple.”

“The simple path is to transcend the tribulation. After transcending the lightning tribulation which is the test of the world, one will be able to become an immortal. But the drawback is huge, especially after the appearance of the Immortal Court…”

When Lin Jiufeng saw this, he frowned. He once again saw the phrase ‘Immortal Court’.

The Immortal Court should be in the same era as the God Race. When he was at the Undying Mountain in the Land of Extremely Negative Energy, Elder Universe of the Heavenly Dao Sect also mentioned this matter.

“The simple path to becoming an immortal has a lot of drawbacks. What are the next two paths?” Lin Jiufeng read the rest of the content seriously.
