"Thousands of years pass by in vain, and when I wake up from a dream... I wonder what year it is today?"
A long sigh that seemed to be mixed with emotion sounded in Luo Xuan's mind.
"Who? Who is it?!" Luo Xuan jumped up from the bed in shock, looked around suddenly, and said in confusion, "Who is talking?!"
He suddenly looked at the candle next to the bed, only to see that it had been extinguished, and a dim glow came in from the window, as if he had slept from night to dusk.
But Luo Xuan, who sneaked into the Black Mist Continent here through the Immortal Breathing Talisman, naturally knew that this was not dusk, but morning.
But that's not important. What's important is where the sound comes from!
He looked around. Apart from the wooden bed and the table with the candles, there was nothing else in the room, and there was no place to hide anyone.
The voice continued: "No need to look for it, I'm in your head... If you want to talk to me, just say it in your heart, no need to say it out loud."
"You...what are you? A demon? A demon? Or the remnant soul of a monk?!"
Luo Xuan's expression changed when he heard this. As a descendant of a monk, he naturally knew that in the world of immortality, those monks who were on the verge of death or whose bodies were destroyed had various unique and weird ways to save their lives, such as seizing bodies and exchanging souls!
"Just think of me as someone who is about to wake up from a long sleep..." The voice chuckled, seemingly not caring about Luo Xuan's fear, "But that's not important. What's important is that I'm here, And I want to make a deal with you.”
"Deal, what deal?" Luo Xuan asked.
"It's very simple. Take me to see the current world. As a reward, I can provide you with some suggestions, reasonable suggestions." The voice said softly.
"Why should I trade with you?" Although he said this, Luo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
When the other party comes to his mind, he does not take action immediately, but talks to himself. No matter what the other party's purpose is, it is better than taking him directly.
When the voice heard this, there was a hint of smile in the words, whether it was funny or mocking:
"For me, you are not necessary. If possible, I can choose someone else to trade. It's just a little more troublesome. But what about you?"
"With no background or talent, how many times in a person's life can he encounter the opportunity to change his life? If you missed me, do you think you can get another chance?"
"Besides, a mortal, even though he is a bit weird, has no spiritual roots and no strength, and he is in such a dangerous place. Are you sure he can survive safely in the future?"
"Risks and opportunities always coexist. There is never a good thing in this world. If you want to get something, you have to pay."
"As for calculations, chess pieces, etc., you should be lucky that you can be used by others, which shows that you are still valuable! As for whether I will seize your body or use it for other purposes in the future, you can resist. At that time, it will just be based on your own That’s all!”
The voice seemed to be disdainful of covering up, and stated its purpose openly.
The meaning is obvious. I just want to use you. There are risks and benefits. It depends on whether you have the determination to accept it.
"I..." Luo Xuan couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.
The voice continued:
"Besides, if it weren't for me, which place do you think you would have been able to enter and get an opportunity that would be considered heavenly for a mortal?"
"That place?!" Luo Xuan was stunned when he heard this, "Wait, are you... the immortal on the high platform inside?!"
"Haha, what do you think?" The voice did not answer, but asked instead.
Luo Xuan thought carefully and then affirmed:
"No, I don't think you are... If I guess correctly, you are the same person who got into it by mistake like me, but you are a monk and you are trapped there!"
"Then after I enter, you use me to escape from that place."
In Luo Xuan's view, the existence that can build a small world similar to the Cave Heaven Paradise must be an extremely terrifying power on the immortal path.
Such beings are so aloof that they regard all things as stupid dogs. They possess boundless power, so why would they want to live in the body of a small mortal like him?
To put it simply, it just feels like it’s not strong enough.
The voice didn't know Luo Xuan's inner thoughts and said casually:
"Whatever you think, what do you think? Boy, do you want to make a deal?"
"Yes, yes, but before that, I want to know, what is the opportunity to reach heaven that you mentioned?" Luo Xuandao.
"Recite it silently in your mind, Panel." The voice said calmly.
"Huh?" Luo Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously acquiesced in his heart, then suddenly opened his eyes.
Because the next moment, a spiritual light screen emitting a faint golden light appeared directly in front of him.
Real name: Luo Xuan
Cultivation: Mortal
Skills: None
Skills/Spells: None
"This, this is the identity panel?!" Luo Xuan's expression changed.
As a descendant of a monk, he is naturally no stranger to the panel. At least in his family, he has heard it dozens of times!
"No! This is different from the identity panel. This is - the analysis panel! It was obtained from that place. Even a mortal has the chance to become an immortal!" the voice said lightly.
"This...how do you say this?" Luo Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"You can use it to analyze all things, obtain the corresponding knowledge and feed it back to yourself, so as to control or create a spell!" said the voice.
"For example, take the fireball spell performed by the monk. When you observe it enough times, the analysis panel will help you analyze its spell model and then inject it into your mind."
"To put it simply, you don't need to work hard to understand the cultivation techniques like other monks. Even if you make a mistake, the technique will backfire, causing great damage and all your previous efforts will be wasted. Instead, you can be like those geniuses who realize the Tao. Know everything with one mind and become a true genius!"
"This..." When Luo Xuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart showed disbelief, mixed with ecstasy.
Having grown up in the world of cultivating immortals, he naturally knew that if what the other party said was true, then he knew exactly what it meant.
The minimum achievement for a person with such ability is to be a Dharma cultivator among immortal cultivators.
They are true Dharma cultivators, those who study the laws of the Tao and create their own Dharma, not those barbarians who can only use magic to fight!
And the highest achiever is the legendary ancient monk, who created the existence of all dharma and is famous for eternity!
"If that's the case, wouldn't I...wait."
But the next moment, Luo Xuan, who seemed to realize something, suddenly turned stiff, and his eyes showed signs of unwillingness, fear, and even despair.
"What? Are you worried that you are a mortal, so this analysis panel will not work?" The voice seemed to be aware of Luo Xuan's inner thoughts.
"...That's right." Luo Xuan was silent for a moment, with a strong look of unwillingness on his face.
Having such a great opportunity, but having no spiritual roots and being unable to embark on the path of cultivation, isn't this a mockery of fate?
However, the voice smiled coldly:
"Ha! Who told you that you can't practice without spiritual roots?"
"This..." Luo Xuan's face was full of disbelief, but there was a hint of expectation in his tone, "You cannot cultivate immortality without spiritual roots! This is an iron rule in the world of immortality! Could it be that senior..."
But the voice suddenly interrupted:
"Then do you want to trade?"
"Trade, of course I will trade!" Luo Xuan nodded quickly.
The other party is right. There may be only one chance to change one's destiny in this life. If you miss it, you won't get it again!
As for what will happen in the future, it will all depend on their own abilities!
"I don't know the name of the senior, and whether there is... a method that can allow mortals to enter the path of immortality?!"
"Okay." The voice said calmly, "Two trees are a forest, the sun, the moon and the stars, Lin Chen, this is my name! You usually call me grandpa!"
"As for the iron rule? Oh, even the immortals dare not claim to know the entire world. The highest level of the immortal world is just the transformation of gods. How dare to say this?!"
"Besides, iron rules, aren't they just something that generations of geniuses will break?!"
"But have you thought about it? For mortals to seek immortality and go against the will of heaven, it must be a thorny road. Everything has to be paid! After all, all gifts from fate will be secretly marked with chips!"
"So, are you ready?"
After hearing this, Luo Xuan closed his eyes. After a long time, when he opened them again, he was full of determination:
"I'm ready! The worst case scenario is death! Rather than a pile of loess in a hundred years, I'd rather die on the wonderful journey of seeking immortality!"
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of living like mud and rotting in a pile of people!"
"Haha! Okay! I appreciate your courage as a person who dares to fight against fate! I don't mind giving you a chance!"
At the end of the sentence, Lin Chen's tone suddenly became solemn:
"In that case, then I will teach you the way for mortals to seek immortality!"
"There is an old saying: The way of heaven is to make up for the loss but make up for the deficiency; the way of man is to make up for the loss but make up for the deficiency! Since God does not give mortals without spiritual roots the way to become immortals, then it is up to us humans to fight for it ourselves! "
"Eating all things, complementing the form with the form, plundering all things in the world to feed myself. Next, what I will pass on will be a method for mortals to seek immortality, and its name is——"
"[Take the Sutra of Health Preservation and Feather Sloughing]!"
