Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality-Chapter 484: People Cannot Become Immortals Without Going to the Spirit World

People can feel the mystery of Huaxia easily from the language of Huaxia.

For example, the word “Jie” can be used both as a noun and a verb. There are many interpretations for “Jie” as a noun. The “Jie” Lin Luoran mentioned before is cultivators’ division of a certain special realm.

It’s like Dragon Palace, the Secret Territory Bermuda, and Mount Penglai. They all have one node connected to the Earth. In fact, they are some integrated and self-contained communities. The border situation determines how much these places may be affected by the Earth environment.

The world of cultivation is special. It has always existed on the earth. Only cultivators’ regions are distinguished from mortals regions and become “Jie”.

“Talking about where Divinized Cultivators go, we have to start from the beginning…”

The kitchen is very busy. Some young people are making food while laughing. Lin Luoran and Liao sit in the living room with a pot of tea and two plates of snacks. Liao is slowly relating the story. His historical mystery is revealed in front of Lin Luoran for the first time.

Liao woke up in an ancient tomb.

That was the Xia Dynasty in Huaxia’s history. Liao awakened from an ancient tomb suspending in mid-air. He had forgotten all his history. To be specific, it’s not a tomb but a relic suspending above clouds. Liao crawled out of such a pile of broken bricks which were once magnificent.

He woke up without any personal ability or memory. He only vaguely remembered that he had a name, “Blue Waves”. Liao rummaged around the clouds and found some broken but useful things. He also found some Jade Maps. However, because he didn’t have any spiritual mind, he couldn’t read the information. Liao was very annoyed. He found a piece of inscription under a three-legged cauldron. Fortunately, he lost his memory but could still read the words. He tried his best to translate them and finally knew where he was.

“It turns out that the place where I woke up is actually the immortal world.” Liao blinks his eyes. He also doesn’t quite believe it even after thousands of years.

Lin Luoran looks strange when she heard that Liao woke up from the broken palace on the cloud. Hearing what Liao says, she spews a mouth of tea.

The immortal world? Isn’t Liao waking up in the immortal world… as an immortal?

In Lin Luoran’s impression, the man in robe is qualified to be an immortal. Maybe a little worse, immortal should be like cyan Phoenix that she met in Penglai. How can Liao be an immortal?

Seeing her expression, Liao touches his nose and feels kind of annoyed. He snorts softly, turns his head aside, and continues.

It’s the immortal world. But according to the words on cauldron, where Liao woke up was just a small corner of the vast immortal world. The heaven and the earth were in great calamity and the immortal world has collapsed. All gods and Buddhas have already migrated. The place where he was is just a relic that had been abandoned. It was truly no different from the tomb which he had thought it was at the beginning.

“True immortals have left. Before they left, they still had consciences. They opened up the spiritual world with great holy spells and chose Qi-trainers with superior qualifications to fill that world. If those Qi-trainers can achieve Tao, they will open the channel when they become immortals. They can follow the traces of the ancient immortals and the path which the gods and Buddhas in heaven had taken.”

Lin Luoran frowns upon hearing the ancient secrets, “Choosing Qi-trainers with superior qualifications to fill the spiritual world? They just abandoned cultivators on the earth in this way? ”

Liao glares at her, “Don’t interrupt. I haven’t talked about it yet.”

After Liao read the words on the cauldron, he clarified his thought. With some hard work, he left the relic after getting something. Across the node connecting two worlds, he dropped into the waters.

It was the middle of the Xia Dynasty. Lin Luoran is also familiar with where Liao fell. It’s the waters of Dongting.

“Well, don’t judge a book by its cover. The dragon nationality was also a part of the immortal world. When I was there, the whole Dragon Palace has been emptied long ago. Only Jade Map was left there to ‘take over’ the Dragon Palace. It was really annoying.”

Liao’s anger was not only because the Dragon King had run away and left him an empty shell. He had lost his personal ability and even could not use his spiritual mind. How could he understand the Jade Map?

“Then how did you enter the Dragon Palace?”

Without the personal ability and spiritual mind, how could the Dragon Palace take Liao in?

Liao is furious because he feels that Lin Luoran’s question totally underestimates him… But… he really has no idea about how he got in.

“You don’t understand that feeling. It’s very strange. It’s like… I can go wherever I want and ten thousand kinds of inhibitions can’t stop my footsteps… Do you understand it?”

Lin Luoran nods. Liao woke up at a corner of the abandoned immortal world. Although he has forgotten his past and lost his personal ability, it’s not strange that people with this kind of background can have some unique abilities besides longevity.

Is Liao’s ability breaking inhibitions of the world? This is kind of interesting. Lin Luoran bows her head without a word. No… the Dragon Palace is less of an inhibition but a node of a hetero dimensional space—so Liao’s skill is to break the barrier of “Jie”?

Because Liao is still speaking, Lin Luoran doesn’t express her shock and listens to him to continue.

Liao had no personal ability and couldn’t understand the Jade Map. He was extremely annoyed. Liao left the Dragon Palace and wandered in the world. He gradually learned about the world’s major events and had also sought ways of immortals and Tao by getting involved in many cultivation schools—though he didn’t have personal ability, it was not difficult to find ways to the cultivation schools with his eyes which can tell good from bad.

What he was troubled was that he did not have what Qi-trainers call “the Taoist root”. No matter how hard he studied, the Reiki stored in his body would still slip away with the passage of time. Liao was unwilling to be a handyman in the cultivation school. After many years, although there was still no way to solve this self-cultivation problem, his ocean of consciousness changed after a certain “adventure”.

“Although I still can’t remember who I was and what had happened before I fell asleep, that weak spiritual mind just happened to help me read the Jade Map.”

Liao sighs when he talks about this history. Although his words are simple, Lin Luoran can imagine the hardship he had been through at that time.

Liao reasonable the Jade Map and found out that the whole dragon nationality also migrated. They entrusted those who are predestined to take care of the Dragon Palace.

He has been in the cultivation sect for many years. Liao has changed countless identities, known a lot of secrets, and also acquired the ability to change appearances which even cultivators can’t see through.

“The Spirit World is the last fertile ground left for the earth cultivator by the gods and Buddhas. Qi-trainers who were not selected at the time also have a little chance to become immortals. After they survive the Heaven’s Doom of the Divinization period, they can be directly transmitted to the Spirit World.”

After Liao finished speaking, Lin Luoran couldn’t help but purses her lips. After Divinization, cultivators become immortals in the spiritual world and then become immortals in the heaven. It is really an old-fashioned setting. It seems that she has read something similar in a novel?

Liao can know what she is thinking about from her indifferent look.

“I told you that Danling Taoist is not a Divinization cultivator and I am not just talking nonsense. You may think that in this world, there are always some talented cultivators who can achieve Tao without going to the spiritual world. In fact, it’s not true. Everything on the earth is no longer suitable for personal ability enhancement. Besides the changes in Reiki, Tao of nature also went crazy mysteriously there. When cultivators on the earth fight with Heaven’s Doom, dark clouds go mad. Even if your personal ability is powerful, your magic weapons are countless, and your state of mind is totally peaceful, Heaven’s Doom will either be delayed or smash you into ashes… In the spiritual world, becoming immortals is less of a catastrophe but a transmission circle set by gods and Buddhas with their holy spells. They take cultivators whose personal ability is on the verge of a bottleneck to the new immortal world in this way. ”

Lin Luoran almost knocks over the tea cup when she is distracted by these words.

“You mean… without going to the Spirit World, cultivators of the Divinization period cannot survive Heaven’s Doom even though they reach the peak on the earth?”

In this case, even though she owns space and amazing weapons, there may still be a long way to go before she can live freely in the world. Outside of the earth, there is still a spiritual world. It’s true that people cannot become immortals without going to the Spirit World.

“In the Tang Dynasty, the Gathering Vitality cultivators and mighty monsters disappeared. Did they also go to the Spirit World?”

A cup of tea is tasteless now and the fragrance of food comes from the kitchen. Liao hasn’t answered yet. Lin Luoran’s spiritual mind has already noticed the sound of horses.

The guests she invites today have already been in this place.

Lin Luoran stands up and Liao stuffs the last piece of pastry into his mouth. He says vaguely, “They received an edict saying that someone called true immortal would pick them up to a paradise best for personal ability enhancement. You are also familiar with that paradise… It is Penglai overseas.”

Lin Luoran is stunned and subconsciously retorts, “This is impossible!”
