Chapter 457: Ascending to Immortality

Jixia Academy, the cluster of God-Becoming Palaces.

Gao Xiang Hong, Zhang Hao, Wang Wen, and other natives of the Initial Realm, along with the outstanding talents from other realms who had entered Jixia Academy this time, arrived at the God-Becoming Palace.

Becoming a god was easy for them, but it still required some time—after all, they were not that "monster" Kamikawa Mitsu.

"Look quick, there's a record stele here too."

An outstanding talent from another realm stood before a stele.

The record stele's meaning was clear: it recorded the deeds of those who broke records.

Earlier they had seen a record stele in the Immortal-Becoming Palace, which recorded the fastest disciple of Jixia Academy to become an immortal, from the academy's founding to the present.

And this record stele before the God-Becoming Palace—without needing to think, it surely recorded the fastest disciple of Jixia Academy to become a god.

"Sure enough, it's Kamikawa Mitsu." Zhang Hao stepped forward to look at the stele.

The Immortal-Becoming Palace's record stele recorded Kamikawa Mitsu, detailing his deeds of becoming an immortal.

He became an immortal before the age of eighteen, and just a few months ago at that.

The outstanding talents from other realms and the gods and demons had heard of Kamikawa Mitsu's deeds from the natives of the Initial Realm, but they harbored doubts—after all, these were others' accounts, and there was always the possibility of things being distorted through hearsay.

Aren't rumors precisely that—passed from person to person, becoming twisted along the way?

Seeing the Immortal-Becoming Palace's record stele, they finally confirmed that the natives of the Initial Realm had not exaggerated—Kamikawa Mitsu really had become an immortal at eighteen.

"Let me see at what age Senior Kamikawa became a god."

Some outstanding talents from other realms were curious: Kamikawa Mitsu became an immortal at eighteen, so what about becoming a god or demon? What age would that be?

Whether in the Initial Realm or other realms, gossip always best captured the attention of living beings.

The record stele:

【Kamikawa Mitsu, at thirteen reached the ninth level of Living Being. He could have broken through to the First Step of God within a year, but he forcibly suppressed himself and did not break through, wanting to accumulate and settle within the great realm of the ninth level of Living Being.

He was the earliest disciple of Jixia Academy to reach the ninth level of Living Being, the record holder, and to this day no one has broken it.

Also because he reached the ninth level of Living Being at thirteen, great expectations were placed upon him, and he received attention from the various disciples of Jixia Academy, and even from the great figures of Jixia Academy.

However, when his age reached fourteen, he still had not broken through to the First Step of God, which greatly surprised all sides.

There were even the jealous who mocked him, believing he had squeezed out his potential to reach the ninth level of Living Being, and now that his potential was overdrawn, reaching the First Step of God would be very difficult.

There were also the jealous who ridiculed him, believing Kamikawa Mitsu's potential had reached its end, and that his breakthrough to the ninth level of Living Being at thirteen was merely a flash in the pan, unable to create the record for the shortest breakthrough to the First Step of God.

All manner of rumors and slander accompanied Kamikawa Mitsu for four years.

Four years passed, and Kamikawa Mitsu was seventeen years old, still having not broken through to the First Step of God, but he still received attention.

Although he had not broken through to the First Step of God, at sixteen he slew a First Step of God powerhouse at the ninth level of Living Being, once again drawing the envy of the disciples and great figures of Jixia Academy.

Kamikawa Mitsu's temperament did not pay heed to others' mockery; he advanced steadily and surely.

Until the day of his seventeenth birthday, when Jixia Academy arranged a battle for him. That time, he defeated three ninth-level Living Being disciples on the verge of the First Step of God with three fists, each defeated with a single punch.

The disciples he defeated were not weak—each one, if born in a glorious great era, would be an absolute prodigy capable of at least becoming an immortal or demon, invincible among peers.

Kamikawa Mitsu's defeat of the three drew senior students to come watch.

And after the battle, he finally ascended to the First Step of God.

After four years, at seventeen he ascended to the First Step of God, entering the realm of gods and demons, yet he still broke the record for the earliest to become a god.】

"Against the heavens, I'm done for."

Some outstanding talents could not help but curse.

Then the others fell silent, their thoughts at this moment the same as the outstanding talents', feeling an urge to curse.

They remembered clearly: Kamikawa Mitsu became an immortal at eighteen—in other words, from becoming a god to becoming an immortal, he took only a single year…

"Monster." Another prodigy and outstanding talent said bluntly: "Four years—this was never about potential being exhausted, only about accumulating, waiting to erupt in one burst."

Kamikawa Mitsu's four years of settling换来 a single year of crossing from the First Step of God to the Fourth Step of God—this was the result.

Everyone's hearts were a tangle of five flavors, and without further words, stimulated by Kamikawa Mitsu, they stopped wandering and chose to enter the God-Becoming Palace to cultivate.

……

Jixia Academy, the highest immortal palace.

Kamikawa Mitsu listened to Qingyun's report, watching all that the crowd did and said.

Seeing those from other realms grow increasingly reverent toward the Initial Realm, and seeing the natives of the Initial Realm grow increasingly proud of the Initial Realm, all striving hard in their cultivation, he was very satisfied.

"Next comes the Jixia Academy TV drama." Kamikawa Mitsu murmured.

With the situation at Jixia Academy, Kamikawa Mitsu planned to film it like a campus TV drama, capturing the daily lives of the natives of the Initial Realm and other realms who had joined Jixia Academy—only needing to set the desired script outcomes.

……

Over the following days, Kamikawa Mitsu methodically developed the script for this Jixia Academy TV drama.

Worth mentioning.

After this Jixia Academy event, not only was Earth undergoing earth-shaking changes, but the myriad heavens and worlds were the same. Through the word-of-mouth of those living beings from other realms who had been eliminated from Jixia Academy and returned to their own worlds, the Initial Realm spread throughout the myriad heavens and worlds.

The consequences of this spreading were very clear.

The myriad heavens and worlds began to take concerted great actions, opening passages between the myriad heavens and worlds—not for invasion, but only to connect the myriad heavens and worlds. Great powers and ancient existences from all sides were taking action to open passages.

At this pace, the true connection of all myriad heavens and worlds would not take long.

At most one year of time; one year later, the myriad heavens and worlds would be thoroughly connected.

……

Several days after the Jixia Academy recruitment event.

Accompanied by the system's notification sound in his mind, the Jixia Academy script points arrived.

Looking at the script points, whose number of digits he could not count at first glance, Kamikawa Mitsu's heart surged.

"System, redeem the character Su Daji!"

Humans, gods, demons, and Buddhas had all been redeemed; only a yao remained.

Kamikawa Mitsu chose to reach Immortality through Su Daji.

Boom!!

Su Daji's character was swapped in, and at this moment Kamikawa Mitsu's constitution, strength, combat power, and everything about himself underwent earth-shattering changes.

Immortality!

Half a year later, he had finally reached Immortality!

Kamikawa Mitsu's eyes opened and closed, the light in his pupils flowing with an ancient radiance, as if the brilliance had existed from ancient times to the present, born at the dawn of heaven and earth, eternal and immortal—even if the world itself withered and perished, its light would not be extinguished, enduring forever in the world.

The passage of time could not erode his body.

The flow of time could not corrode his spirit.

A wisp of aura leaked out, containing Immortality, eternity, permanence, indestructibility…

He stood on the balcony of his own apartment, his gaze deep, looking into the distance, where the mysterious fog of the Pacific lay.

On this very day, the mysterious fog finally stopped expanding and ceased its spread.

But the Earth was still expanding—perhaps in ten thousand years, perhaps in a hundred thousand, or maybe even just a thousand, it was hard to say. As long as Kamikawa Mitsu kept improving it, the Earth would become like the vast primordial realm he had envisioned.

The mysterious fog no longer spread, yet Kamikawa Mitsu did not let his guard down because of it, nor did he abandon his investigation of the Yin Earth World within the mysterious fog.

He had once made a decision: until his strength reached Immortality, he would not explore the Yin Earth World within the mysterious fog.

The Yin Earth World was far too dangerous—entering without reaching Immortality was no different from throwing one's life away.

Now that he had achieved Immortality and possessed the strength to survive within the Yin Earth World, it was time to explore it.
