Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing grew increasingly curious: "Then what about the final layer?"

Hundred Li Hong glanced at him: "The ninth layer is called the Hongmeng Purple Qi Calamity.

The Hongmeng Origin will condense a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi; if it receives Recognition, the purple qi will fuse into the Foundation, aiding future Ascension to Immortality.

If not Recognized, the purple qi will dissolve the Foundation, and everything returns to nothingness."

Inside the Bamboo Hut, it fell quiet for a while.

"Become an Immortal?"

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "But Immortals disappeared long ago, didn't they!

Across the Myriad Heavens and Zhutian Wan Jie, not even a trace of them exists.

Since Immortals are gone, where do cultivators go after crossing the Calamity?

Or rather, do they truly become Immortals?"

At these words, Hundred Li Hong spread his hands and shook his head: "This matter, I'm not clear on either.

Leaving aside that I haven't cultivated to the Mahayana Stage yet.

The key is, in the entire Myriad Heavens and Zhutian Wan Jie, cultivators who can reach the Transcendence Stage are rare to begin with."

Perhaps the Dao Venerate knows.

He asked many times before, but never got an answer a single time.

As if this matter has already become a taboo that no one may mention.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but speculate: "Could it be that the cultivators' path ahead has already been severed?"

After all, from the moment everyone starts cultivating with a Spiritual Root, all the way to now.

They have always been absorbing the Gods' Legacy, their bodies containing a large amount of God Path Fragments.

The Gods died.

The Demons perished.

The Immortals vanished.

Doesn't this mean that the cultivators who came after have no path forward?

Every step from now on must be explored on their own?!"

Hearing this, Hundred Li Hong broke out in a cold sweat: "Junior Brother, you put it like that, and it really seems a bit……"

This matter itself is wrong.

Immortals are all gone, so what nine-layer Heavenly Calamity is there to cross?

How can the Hongmeng Origin Recognize the Foundation and help someone become an Immortal?

Or is it that so-called Ascension is essentially a kind of screening?

Xu Zhangqing shifted his gaze away from Hundred Li Hong, turning it once more toward the direction of the Tian Ji Star.

There, Luo Qinghan's aura had completely disappeared.

Wait…… who is Luo Qinghan?

Hundred Li Hong blinked: "Lao Jiu, I heard Ji Chen came looking for you?"

Xu Zhangqing Hears this and is Stunned; he always felt something was off, then replied: "Yes, he came by not long ago, asked me to cultivate a Life and Death Sword Orchid."

Hearing the four words "Life and Death Sword Orchid," Hundred Li Hong couldn't help but widen his eyes: "The one you speak of, is it the Life and Death Sword Orchid I know?"

Xu Zhangqing gave an affirmative: "That very one."

The expression on Hundred Li Hong's face gradually shifted from surprise to envy: "In the entire Floating World Four Domains, a Life and Death Sword Orchid hasn't appeared in tens of thousands of years.

Junior Brother Ji, you really hid it deep!

That thing, let alone seeds, not even a leaf can be found.

Some Trading Firms have had purchase bounties hanging for over ten thousand years.

He, on the other hand, actually found it quietly without a sound."

Xu Zhangqing joked: "From your tone, why does it sound like there's a bit of unwillingness?"

Hundred Li Hong said irritably: "He needs Sword Intent, I need Saber Intent.

Once a Life and Death Sword Orchid matures, it can carry a Sword Cultivator's Law Resonance, directly raising the Sword Intent a whole level.

Ji Chen was originally the Beidou Immortal Mansion's number one Sword Cultivator; his bottleneck has been stuck for many years.

If he uses this Sword Orchid to push his Sword Intent up, breaking through to Mahayana is just around the corner.

By then, among us fellow disciples, there will be one more Mahayana Stage cultivator.

For the Immortal Mansion it's a good thing, but for the likes of us……"

He didn't finish the second half, but the meaning was already self-evident.

Among the Direct Disciples of the Beidou Immortal Mansion, although it doesn't reach the point of open and secret struggle, no one is willing to be pulled too far ahead by a fellow disciple.

Eldest Senior Brother Zhen Yuanzi guards the Chaos Sea year-round and no longer participates in internal competition.

Second…… Second Senior Brother Jun Wu Huo, Fourth Junior Brother Yin Wuji, the two have been missing for a long time.

Among the remaining few Direct Disciples.

Once Ji Chen breaks through to Mahayana, his Ranking and Influence will greatly increase.

For Hundred Li Hong, the pressure is by no means small.

After all, he ranked third!

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "As far as I'm concerned, cultivation, realm, ranking, and such actually don't matter at all; as long as I'm alive, that's enough."

Hundred Li Hong rolled his eyes and said in an annoyed tone: "Of course it doesn't matter to you, ranked eighth with no pressure at all."

Xu Zhangqing smiled upon hearing this: "Looks like you treat Senior Brother Ji as your opponent!"

Hundred Li Hong's tone became somewhat serious at this moment: "Actually, I've always felt that Junior Brother Ji is a bit strange."

In terms of Sword Path talent, among peers in the entire Beidou Xianfu, he dares to claim second place, and no one dares to claim first.

In terms of strength, this fellow could long ago hold down a region.

The Master had arranged several positions of real power for him, but he declined them all.

In recent years, he has almost never returned to the Xianfu, running about outside everywhere, neither close nor distant in his relationship with us."

Xu Zhangqing fell silent for two breaths, then said: "I think he's a decent person."

Hundred Li Hong made an "oh" sound.

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "You know better than I what the situation is outside the Floating World Four Domains."

The Endless Star Domain ripples with a red tide, and the Chaos Sea keeps swelling.

He ran about outside alone for several thousand years, who knows how many life-and-death crises he has experienced.

To survive until now, besides formidable strength, the Heavenly Dao and Air Luck also account for a portion.

If it were anyone else, they would have long died outside."

After listening, Hundred Li Hong looked thoughtful.

Ji Chen is a person who, although not fond of getting close with his fellow disciples,

has indeed done nothing wrong, at least not brought any trouble.

Such a person's character cannot be too bad.

"Alright, everything that needed to be said has been said!"

"Your own matters, hurry up with them too!"

"Don't just focus on cultivating Sword Orchids for Junior Brother Ji; you should also start preparing for the tribulation!"

The current situation is truly becoming more and more complex.

The Endless Star Domain, Chaos Sea, Zhen Kong Chong Chao, everywhere is in chaos.

Who knows how long the Floating World Four Domains can remain peaceful.

Afterwards, Hundred Li Hong transformed into a streak of escape light and flew away swiftly.

The Bamboo Hut quieted down again.

Seeing the time had come, Xu Zhangqing activated Creation Power.

The Creation Green Lotus on the Left Side gently closed and opened, as always continuously transmitting Creation Power into the time barrier within the entire Beidou Star Domain.

After finishing, Xu Zhangqing always felt he had forgotten something.

He tried to replay the previous conversation from beginning to end.

Hundred Li Hong came.

Drank tea.

Talked about Ji Chen's matters.

Then left.

Everything seemed normal, but there was just something slightly off.

Even if operating the Yuan Dao Heavenly Book for deduction, there was still no gain.

After thinking it over, Xu Zhangqing called out: "Elder Sister!"

With a streak of green light flying out from Shen Guo, Mu Ning appeared again: "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhangqing asked: "Do you feel like you've forgotten something?"

Mu Ning tilted her head to think, then shook her head: "No!"

After speaking, she paused, her brow slightly furrowed: "Wait, there is something off.

There's always a feeling of emptiness, as if something is missing."

Xu Zhangqing once again directed his gaze toward the direction of Tian Ji Xing: "Missing what?"
