Free Web NovelChapter 937: Chapter 30: Forging the Treasure Lotus Lamp, Entering the Immortal Realm
The world began to debate and discuss, even the mortals at the bottom were thrilled.
"We have become immortals."
"How many years, how many years has it been, we have finally become immortals." Someone in a tavern drunk with loneliness, raised their teacup, aiming at the sky.
"Wuwuwu, above the Self-Transformation Realm, there truly exists another realm."
Some pure path-seekers seemed to see the possibility of achieving their dreams, "That is a legendary realm pursued by generations of Dynasties in Nine-State."
"I heard that in the previous battle, immortals had descended from outside the region, and our Nine-State has only now birthed an immortal, I wonder how many versions behind we are. Our Nine-State is probably a barbaric land!" Someone felt sadness in their heart, thinking Nine-State was too backward.
"Alas, like a small border village, primitive and backward. Over fifteen million years... External immortals will look down on us."
Many people sighed, feeling that their days had been too long.
The earliest breakthrough in the Human God Era here was the early stage of Self-Transformation Realm.
But after more than ten million years, they were still treading in place within the Self-Transformation Realm, only now breaking through the final threshold.
But regardless.
The birth of the first immortal in human history remains the first truly legendary human emperor - Jiu Shui.
This made countless people shout in excitement.
And the embers across Nine-State also killed each other to the final trial.
Among the countless endless Ghost Tides, a large number of naturally occurring Ghost Kings truly emerged.
They were indeed one of the Ancestor Divine Beasts of natural evolution.
Instead of being an artificially created ancestral race by blacksmiths and Nine-State forces.
They naturally emerged on the earth and mountains, becoming leaders of various tribes,
"Jiu Shui."
"Go listen to the teachings, most of our past selves were Owners in the One Heart Realm, Self-Transformation Realm in various Ancient Tombs, but after merging with thousands of embers of the same obsession, our consciousness has long been washed away, not the original self, but a new life born from a mixed consciousness."
"Yes, grudges are gone."
"We look different now, are new Ghost Kings, a new ancestral race, a part of the food chain, go listen to the immortal teachings."
"Let’s go together! Together!"
"He pacified the ancient tombs of Nine-State, flattened the chaos, indeed a terrifying person."
...
Silver Sand Sea, Ancient Medical Academy, Changling Holy Land, Blade and Sword Mountains, Witch Doctor Temple...
These well-known ancient tomb secret realms have long merged with the tides of embers, continuously transforming, and birthing new races.
At this point, they formed a new food chain, roughly one can see there are tens of thousands of ancestral species.
Moreover, these initial Ancestors who opened the world will in the future differentiate, hybridize, leading to more branches.
For instance, a crab ancestor will differentiate into sand crabs, river crabs, sea crabs...
Evolving, transforming, mutating along with the natural environment, survival of the fittest is the eternal theme.
Everything has its cycles of birth and death.
Now, after the great destruction, the awakening of leftover embers will open a new Chapter for the future epoch.
Upon receiving the news, Ning Zheng smiled slightly, "Finally ascended to immortality! Can go listen to the great path teachings, witness the history of Jiu Shui’s ascension."
Regardless.
Jiu Shui is deserving of admiration.
Ning Zheng considers himself not a good person, but there always needs to be someone like Jiu Shui to bear the burden and move forward.
In fact, Ning Zheng has always quietly taken advantage of Jiu Shui’s success.
It’s unimaginable for him, if not for Jiu Shui, who overturned the Pseudo-human Dynasty early on, passing through this dark era filled with pseudo-humans, without hope, without light, without anyone bearing everything...
How difficult life would be.
Even if developing Sword Casting Manor, breaking through the Nine-State world, ascending this world, pushing across the past pseudo-humans, the time spent would undoubtedly be a hundred times more.
Don’t think it’s an exaggeration how much time is spent.
Don’t forget, our Sword Casting Manor’s rise came upon encountering benefactors.
Before Jiu Shui’s death, he casually helped Sword Casting Manor once, giving them the official court forging institution label, allowing entry into the top-tier force circle.
Perhaps in Jiu Shui’s eyes, nurturing successors was a normal operation, yet blacksmiths ultimately soared riding his tailwind.
Ning Zheng felt emotional, looking at Jiucai Rong and others beside him, "Tomorrow, I’ll take you to observe the ceremony, witness a historic moment, thereafter Nine-State will no longer have Jiu Shui."
Jiucai Rong nodded, "Xin Xichen and others probably will ascend soon too, all the old friends are leaving, Nine-State completely falls into the era of the young."
Shao Chaikun suddenly felt touched because he enjoyed playing with these NPC bigshots very much, "The era must eventually change, everything will be lost, there is no eternal painting in the world, eternal only in the instant of brilliance of you and me."
"The future belongs to that era of the ancestor divine beasts who opened the heavens." The Food God next to him supplemented.
Heaven and earth initially opened.
Those ancestor divine beast Ghost Kings, possessing advantageous positions, are naturally one of the dominant character races of future times.
Of course, the blacksmiths also played big fish eating little fish, mixed into a few ancestors, seemingly able to follow the tribal agricultural path route.
Soon, it was the day of the teachings.
Within an island in the South Sea, golden light glittered, fields bloomed with rice flowers everywhere.
Within an eight-hundred-mile radius, all were rice flowers, dancing with the wind, rolling a vast golden wave of grain.
Jiu Shui sat among the rice flowers, on the throne of the nine-layered rice flowers, with the Nine Five Venerable Sword at his side,
"Today, I will preach to you all. From now on, our Nine-State will open up a new realm; above Self-Transformation, there lies the Immortal Realm."
"It is fate that brings you here today to listen..."
With a smile, Jiu Shui recounted his experiences, insights, and techniques in overcoming the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations, those were the skills he discovered while dying countless times.
He felt his way across the river like feeling stones, paving the path for those who came after at the cost of his life, hoping others could tread the path with more ease.
"In the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations, overcoming five tribulations is already extremely rare; achieving Immortal-Becoming at this point is a great accomplishment. Each subsequent tribulation becomes a matter of life and death, where a slight misstep leads to death and the path ending."
"The ten life-and-death barriers, the ultimate tribulation, holds great terror; I do not recommend common folks to explore it, as it represents the transition between Deficient and Perfection."
"Leaving a line of deficiency still keeps you human; excess leads to crossing Perfection and incurring heavenly condemnation."
...
Even Ning Zheng, a cultivator who only had the last tribulation left, was inspired upon listening, feeling that the final tribulation became much easier.
The final tribulation indeed held great terror and profound mystery.
This day of preaching ended, and a new era dawned upon the Nine-State.
The world deemed this day of Immortal preaching and realm breaking as the first year of the new epoch.
This scene is eternally recorded in history.
[In the first year of the epoch, the heavens and earth at dawn, myriad ancestors compete for freedom, ancient god Jiu Shui becomes an Immortal, preaching to over a hundred thousand congenital ancestral beings born with the world, breaking the realm, and ascending in one day.]
After this day, within eighty thousand miles, there were golden fields of rice everywhere.
The golden waves of wheat and the figure of an emperor breaking through and ascending seemingly became an eternal myth.
...
It was on this day that countless prehistoric survivors, destined to be eliminated, also respectfully bid farewell to Jiu Shui’s departure.
Countless others discussed Jiu Shui’s achievements on this day.
Before, it was the era of pseudo-humans; this one was the Human Ancestor in the truest sense!
He led people to rise in the darkness, roaring in despair, with invincible presence overthrowing the myth of eternal pseudo-humans! Unveiling a new Chapter in history.
It was he who, after founding the nation, initiated an unprecedented massacre, almost exterminating pseudo-human disciples of various sects who opened the Three Flowers, establishing the earth vein with their brains, forming a fundamental communication system, teleportation array, communication tokens, uplifting the grand Scholar Sheng Shi.
It was he who, with his power alone, sat in the Imperial City throughout his life, suppressing the Chronicles of Time, keeping the pseudo-human emperors of the ancient dark forbidden zones unable to step out of the Imperial Mausoleum.
It was he who defied all opposition, forcefully welcoming back Xin Xichen, the emperor of the previous dynasty, before his demise, to resume control of the era.
It was also he who emerged from the tomb, with a stunning and terrifying setup—earth vein, forming Xian’s brain, manipulating Xian... sweeping countless ancient forbidden emperors, defeating the most terrifying Black Hand Painter.
Such deeds make him truly commendable; his achievements are too numerous to count.
And now, this figure has become an Immortal and ascended, countless people cheer for him!
His story is even more legendary than the protagonist tales in storybooks.
Countless people record and narrate his story, singing for future generations; even after tens of thousands of years, no one will forget this first Human Ancestor of humanity.
And in a corner of the glacier.
An elderly figure glanced at the sky and smiled.
A massive aura erupted in the void, a black Three Flowers bloomed entirely, blooming three flowers, knowing I am who I am.
"I am not the Human Ancestor; you are the true ancestor of the Human Path, the greatest hero in human history."
"Whether you wish to or not."
...
...
Sword Casting Manor.
Ning Zheng watched as Jiu Shui ascended and left, reflecting deeply and began to take action.
A seven-colored Immortal Weapon was sent over from the Celestial Destiny World in a parcel box.
A group of blacksmiths opened the box, inside lay a Seven-Colored Divine Lamp quietly, entirely made of gold, with changing hues, exuding endless mystery and divine light.
This past one and a half months, though three to four thousand years passed next door, was not for naught, sufficient to forge a Seven-Colored Immortal Weapon.
This is the purest destiny magical treasure.
The Seven-Colored Immortal Weapon comprises the Golden God (Yin), Golden God (Yang), Golden God (Gold)... seven Golden Gods after the attribute modification by a tool named Sun Moon Su Yuniang.
Focusing purely on purity.
Seven Golden Gods forged the Treasure Lotus Lamp, destined to maximize the power of destiny magical treasures, even becoming a low-tier version of the Qi Fortune Gambling Table, able to influence destinies and fulfill some minor wishes.
This is a Wishing Lamp!
Ning Zheng held this Divine Lamp, unable to part with it, "Not bad."
"Sir."
Jiucai Rong beside him was also very pleased, "After researching, we found this thing’s versatility incredibly powerful. When we have the money, Treasure Lotus Lamps will be everywhere, significantly aiding us in crafting, farming, slightly modifying destiny."
Jiucai Rong was full of excitement.
He could already imagine, in the eyes of others precious Treasure Lotus Lamps would be mere streetlights at Sword Casting Manor, leaving outsiders in awe.
"Well done." Ning Zheng did not notice Jiucai Rong’s chaotic thoughts, his gaze far away into the sky, "I should also make a trip to the Immortal Realm and find someone to whom to send the lamp."
A day later, Ning Zheng tore through the space turbulence, displaying an Immortal-like power with a mortal’s stature, directly traversing the void into the Immortal Realm.
