Chapter 198

Bai Zhu didn't seem to be saying this to her.

Bai Zhu walked forward step by step.

Illusions emerged one after another before his eyes.

There were immortals blaming him for seeking immortality as a mortal, calling it an act of overstepping.

There were childhood memories he least wanted to recall.

There was the tragedy of his failure to seek immortality and wasting his life.

And there was his success in seeking immortality, only to fall before longevity in the end.

Various illusions, but none of them disrupted Bai Zhu's pace.

He walked forward step by step, unhurriedly, each step firm and incomparable.

Until the last step was taken, Bai Zhu stood beside Changsheng, drenched in sweat.

Having witnessed Bai Zhu's obsession, which was firm to the point of madness, from beginning to end, Changsheng couldn't help but feel some emotion.

"Congratulations, Bai Zhu... you have walked through the most painful part of your life."

Bai Zhu smiled with relief and looked back at the huge square.

Everything experienced in the illusion surfaced in his mind, but then he forgot it all.

Turning around, Bai Zhu looked up at the peak of the seven veins of Shushan.

"Mortal Bai Zhu, thank you, Sect Leader, for your mercy. Today, Bai Zhu has understood my heart, and from now on, I will move forward!"

"Mortal Bai Zhu comes to pay respects to the mountain for longevity!"

As the words fell, a rainbow bridge appeared in the sky and quickly fell under their feet.

"Ascend the rainbow bridge, reach Shushan, and from now on, longevity is in sight."

Bai Zhu did not hesitate, pulling Qiqi and Changsheng to board the rainbow bridge together.

The rainbow bridge shrank rapidly, and countless magnificent landscapes appeared before them.

But Bai Zhu didn't look away, only staring at the seven veins above his head.

The world is vast, and the scenery is like a painting.

These...

after he attains longevity, he will naturally have plenty of time to see them.

Now, he had no other thoughts in his heart except for cultivation.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the two people and one snake finally reached the summit.

What came into view was a huge palace.

Under the looming sun and the floating clouds,

this palace was magnificent and had a touch of immortal aura.

Bai Zhu straightened his clothes and bowed to the gate.

"Mortal Bai Zhu comes to seek immortality!"

The gate opened wide, and Jiang Yan's voice drifted into his ears.

"Enter."

Bai Zhu, carrying the greatest respect of his life, wiped his shoes first before daring to step inside cautiously.

He seemed afraid of bringing the filth of the mortal world into this true immortal treasure land.

In the palace, there were seven cushions, and behind the cushions was a huge character for "Dao."

At this moment, however, it was empty.

Bai Zhu looked up at the character for "Dao."

Instantly, a sound like a great bell rang in his mind.

When he came to his senses, an ink-colored figure had already appeared on the middle cushion.

He looked extremely young, with long hair on his shoulders and a strange purple-gold rune between his eyebrows.

He was looking at him with a smile.

It seemed as if he had been sitting here since ancient times.

Bai Zhu bowed.

"Mortal Bai Zhu greets the Shushan Sect Leader."

Changsheng also slithered to the ground and lowered her head.

"Changsheng greets the Shushan Sect Leader."

Qiqi looked at Jiang Yan blankly, seemingly lost in her own world again.

Changsheng was a little anxious and hurriedly explained:

"Sect Leader, Qiqi is a zombie, she is a bit..."

"No matter."

Jiang Yan shook his head slightly and turned his gaze to Changsheng.

"Are you paying respects to the mountain in the name of Longevity, or in the name of Medicine Lord?"

Changsheng was not surprised that Jiang Yan could see through her background and said softly:

"Past events have all dissipated; now, there is only the White Snake Changsheng."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Bai Zhu.

"I have seen your performance in the Heart-Questioning Array."

"Frankly speaking, your will and obsession are the strongest I have ever seen."

"Although your talent is average, with this obsession, it is not impossible for you to achieve something."

"For Shushan, talent is secondary; the most important thing is will."

"Talent still has a chance to be changed, but will cannot be interfered with by external forces."

Bai Zhu felt a surge of joy and hurriedly said:

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for your recognition."

"Passing through one Heart-Questioning Array allows one to become an outer disciple of Shushan, and you passed through nine."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel some emotion.

"Your obsession is truly rare in a thousand years."

"As such, I will make an exception and promote you to an inner disciple of Shushan."

"Here, I congratulate you in advance on stepping onto the path of immortality. In the future, you must strictly abide by the Shushan sect rules, cultivate the Immortal Dao, and subdue demons."

"If you violate them, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth."

"If you use your cultivation ability to do evil, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, the Shushan Law Enforcement Hall can still kill you."

Bai Zhu was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed:

"Disciple will remember!"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said again:

"Do you have anything you want to ask?"

Bai Zhu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said softly:

"Sect Leader, I wonder about the cultivation of Shushan and the novels circulating in Liyue..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan laughed.

He knew about the cultivation circulating in Liyue; Ningguang must have asked him before saying anything.

Immediately, Jiang Yan nodded and said:

"This is the work of your senior sister, Ningguang."

"Ningguang... Senior Sister?"

121. Doctor Makes Pills, Professional Match!

Bai Zhu guessed that many of Liyue's upper echelons must have joined Shushan.

Even Rex Lapis had become a member of Shushan; he had just heard Jiang Yan say that.

But Ningguang...

As the Tianquan, she was busy every day, yet she could still join Shushan to cultivate?

Since there was nothing else to do, Jiang Yan was happy to explain it to him.
