273 Becoming an Immortal in Appearance
Song Shi was deep in thought: “In that case, you are Sage King Lang Ya’s clone or something.”
“Technically, yes.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm nodded. “More specifically, he was my creator.”
Song Shi stroked his chin, “What reward can I get for helping you?”
“An Immortal Art.”
The mystic realm spirit smiled confidently, “Even in the Upper Realm, this is something that can only be chanced upon by luck.”
Song Shi’s expression was calm and he did not seem to be affected at all.
He had already possessed immortal techniques, such as the Pure Yang Scripture. He would not lose his composure like others.
When the spirit of the mystic realm saw Song Shi’s expression, he thought to himself, “Indeed, this person must be the reincarnation of a mighty figure. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm.”
He became more polite and said, “Young friend, this matter is actually nothing to you. You are strong enough and there won’t be any danger to you.”
“It’s indeed not dangerous.”
Song Shi said nonchalantly, “Based on your kindness just now, I’ll accept your request.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm smiled a little more. “Thank you, my friend. The moment I saw you, I felt that you were a good person.”
Song Shi was speechless. He was actually struck by the spirit as a good person. He pursed his lips. “I’m not a good person. You are quite bad at sucking up to people. It’s better not to praise me. It’s a little awkward when you do.”
“Uh, I do feel that you’re different from the rest. You have the potential to become an immortal in the future.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm said seriously.
“I also feel that I have the potential to become an immortal. Your words are still in line with the truth for that.”
Song Shi acknowledged that if someone like him could not become an immortal, who else could?
“Tell me, how can I help Sage King Lang Ya, who is in danger in the Upper Realm?”
The flattery made Song Shi feel very good. He changed the topic.
“I can only sense the approximate location.”
The mystic realm spirit took out a palm-sized pocket-sized jade sword. “Take this. When you activate it in the Upper Realm, you’ll know the general location. When you’re close enough, it can even lead the way.”
“That’s convenient.”
“I’ll have to trouble you then, young friend.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm was very satisfied. Every hundred years, he would try to choose someone who could help him. This time, it was Song Shi.
He continued, “This matter is rather special and has to be kept a secret. You also have to swear not to reveal this secret to others.”
“No problem. I’m good at keeping secrets.”
Song Shi smiled, “I, Song Shi, swear that if I reveal the secret of saving Sage King Lang Ya, I will be struck by lightning, my soul will dissipate and I will die a horrible death.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm praised, “Little friend, you’re really straightforward. The people I asked in the past were all shy and unwilling.”
“Maybe they’re worried that they won’t be able to withstand the lightning.”
Song Shi understood.
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm felt that Song Shi really had the demeanor of a mighty figure, unlike some geniuses who were petty.
He began to talk about the reward, “Young friend, aren’t you going to ask what the immortal technique is?”
“What is it?”
Song Shi did not fall into his trap.
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm thought that Song Shi would say that he was not interested. It was stunned for a moment before taking out a silver Jade Slip. “It’s a cultivation technique related to spatial laws. It’s called the Void Scripture.”
“The Law of Space!”
Song Shi’s expression changed, “Only existences above the Soul Transformation realm can come into contact with it, right?”
“Strictly speaking, only Fusion Sage Lords and Mahayana Sacred Emperors can come into contact with it. If you really want to completely control it, you’ll probably have to be an immortal.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm nodded. “This Jade Slip is the first chapter of the Void Sutra. If you have strong Comprehension, you can try to cultivate it. Although you can’t control the laws, as long as you follow the power of the laws, you can cultivate powerful divine powers and spells.”
“Just from the name, it sounds pretty good.”
Song Shi was really interested this time.
He cultivated the incomplete Divine Teleportation Footwork and knew how profound space was. If he could further comprehend it, the benefits would definitely not be small.
He might even be able to quickly cultivate the incomplete Divine Teleportation Footwork to Great Mastery. Even demons that were good at flying would not be able to outrun him.
He was not in a hurry to look at it. Instead, he was puzzled. “This thing doesn’t belong to the lower realm, right?”
“Yes, Sage King Lang Ya obtained this in an immortal cave abode in the Upper Realm. He had some comprehension, so he could transcend the realm and send it down. He originally wanted to choose a suitable successor, but in the end, he encountered danger and had to get someone to help.”
The spirit smiled bitterly, “Don’t misunderstand, I did not give you the Void Sutra to become Sage King Lang Ya’s disciple.”
He thought that Song Shi was the reincarnation of a mighty figure and might be even stronger than Sage King Lang Ya in his previous life. He definitely would not like to become someone else’s disciple and the spirit was worried that his words might have caused misunderstandings.
“In that case, Sage King Lang Ya is not bad. After leaving his ‘hometown’, he still did not forget to take care of his ‘fellow villagers’.”
Song Shi had a good impression of Sage King Lang Ya. From the secluded domain he left behind, he was indeed here to select talents.
This act of taking care of the younger generation was the key to the human race’s practice of inheritance and instinct to reproduce. He admired it from the bottom of his heart.
“Sigh, it’s only right to take care of the younger generation. Actually, in the Upper Realm, there are thousands of races. Humans don’t dominate this world like they do. We have to nurture the younger generation, or we will be exterminated.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm revealed some information about the Upper Realm.
“That’s normal.”
Song Shi understood that in this world, when the demons’ levels were high enough, their intelligence was not inferior to humans, let alone the more powerful old demons in the Upper Realm.
“Young friend, you are indeed someone who has seen the world.”
The Spirit of the Mystic Realm had already affirmed Song Shi as someone who transcended from the Upper Realm and who may even be an eminence that had seen everything in the Immortal World.
Song Shi felt that something was wrong. Did this old man misunderstand something?
Forget it. He couldn’t be bothered to explain. This spirit can think whatever he wanted.
“In addition, after you reach the Soul Transformation realm, remember to come here to the Upper Realm. Sage King Lang Ya left behind a safe spatial passageway back then. Although it has not been maintained for tens of thousands of years, it’s still relatively safe compared to other passageways.”
The figure of the mystic realm spirit flew backward and brought Song Shi closer to the mystic realm.
“Safe passageway…”
Song Shi was not interested when he heard that, “I have a question. Why can’t this world ascend to the Upper Realm?”
“It’s not physically possible to ascend in the first place. No matter how powerful our world is, it’s still an independent world, isolated from the Upper Realm. In the past, we actually relied on spatial passageways. At that time, there were many powerhouses and the passageways were smooth. As the Spiritual Qi in this world depleted and the ancient powerhouses left, there was no stable passageway to the Upper Realm left.”
The spirit of the mystic realm sighed, “Young friend, you’re very capable. This shouldn’t be a problem for you. I’ll wait for you to reach the Soul Transformation realm.”
“I guess you’ll have to wait a while.”
At this moment, Song Shi realized that he had been brought back to the mystic realm. He thought of the trial. “Since we’re considered partners, why don’t you give me the first place to affirm our partnership?”
“You’re the first person in so many years to work with me before the trial ends. Since you want to be first, I’ll give it to you.”
The mystic realm spirit waved its hand, and the entire mystic realm shook. Rays of light descended from the sky, and many geniuses inside were teleported out and landed on the Immortal opportunity platform again.
This time, space fluctuated above the vortex and a white jade palace slowly appeared.
“The trial is over, the Lang Ya Board is open!”
A dignified voice spread out, making everyone’s expressions turn cold.
