What is an immortal?

Chapter 601 Offer Everything to Me!


Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow did not keep everyone in suspense; with a shake of the bow, several beams of golden light flew towards the crowd and transformed into palm-sized golden jade talismans.

"What I just gave you is the pass to travel Overseas. Whenever you wish to go, just crush the jade talisman, and I will lend a hand to help you set sail," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow said, his tone relaxed and comfortable.

However, these words struck Yuan Ming and the others like a bolt from the blue.

On the Yunhuang Continent, every cultivator who stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm aspired to reach the legendary land Overseas. The tales were too ethereal, and the dangers that lay between them and that land were all too real. No one possessed both the courage and ability to face such dangers head-on. Thus, the legend remained merely a legend, and their longing never turned into reality.

But now, the pass to Overseas was in their hands.

This jade talisman was not particularly heavy, but Yuan Ming and the others felt as if a weight of thousands bore down on their fingertips, yet it also seemed as light and insubstantial as goose feather snow.

Seeing their reactions, Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow chuckled dryly a few times. He well knew what these jade talismans meant to Yuan Ming and the others. His carefree manner was but to savor the shock written on their faces at this moment, the rare bit of mischief he had indulged in over the many years.

"Alright, I've given you the items. Whether you use them or not depends on you. But let me tell you in advance, each jade talisman only allows one person to go. I recognize the jade but not the person. Even if you want to give this opportunity to someone else, you must appear in person and state your intentions; otherwise, I won't get involved," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow reminded them.

"Naturally. But revered senior, can you really send us Overseas?" Yuan Ming asked, still somewhat incredulous.

"What, do you not believe me, or do you not believe the Golden Sunflower Immortal? When the Three Immortals established the Three Immortals Island, the intention was to select talent and grant them the qualifications to go Overseas. It's just that later, it was distorted by the Undead Tree Demon and has only now returned to the right path," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow said, his tone tinged with a hint of nostalgia.

Yuan Ming stared blankly at the jade talisman in his hand, and the image of the Shura Master couldn't help but emerge in his mind.

As the saying goes, timing and fate are crucial. If the Shura Master had not been so desirous of reaching Overseas back then, perhaps he would have encountered the opportunity when the Three Immortals Island opened. With his talent and strength, he might have received Qi Ye's help to slay the Undead Tree Demon and earned the qualifications to travel Overseas.

But there are no ifs in life. Now Yuan Ming could only silently mourn for the Shura Master in his heart while also remembering the promise he had made to him.

"Alright, time is about right. You can think it over at your leisure. It's time for me to tidy up the island's mess," Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow said. As he did, another beam of golden light flashed across the bow, calling forth the Great Wilderness Star River Pearl.

Suddenly, countless beams of spirit light surged on the Great Wilderness Star River Pearl, condensing into a two-person-tall circle of light floating beside Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow.

Through the circle of light, everyone could see a calm sea area. Judging from the color of the water, it seemed to be a nearshore sea area.

Seeing this, Wu Yuezhi's body trembled slightly, and he walked impatiently toward the circle of light.

Yuan Ming didn't think much of it and was about to follow when he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure emanating from Wu Yuezhi's body.

Yuan Ming was startled and looked around, but the others seemed not to notice anything odd. However, he did not think he was being paranoid or mistaken. He immediately tightened his grip on the Soul Destroying Sword and shouted.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, please hold on a moment."

Wu Yuezhi stopped in his tracks and turned around, revealing eyes that had completely lost their color, turning pitch black.

"Get out of my way!" Wu Yuezhi barked, an expression surfacing on his face that made Ni Mu and Luo Qi feel utterly unfamiliar.

In that moment, Wu Yuezhi's body suddenly erupted with a vast release of soul power, and blades of grey materialized out of thin air, slashing directly towards the unsuspecting Hou Yi's Sun Shooting Bow.

"He's not Wu Yuezhi!" Yuan Ming bellowed, swinging the Soul Destroying Sword. Multiple beams of sword light met the grey blades, blocking them all.

At the same time, Wu Yuezhi took out the Heavenly Star Chessboard. With a flick of his fingers, the chessboard burst into a seven-colored brilliance and then struck towards the Great Wilderness Star River Pearl.

"Not good, he's trying to self-destruct the chessboard!" Luo Qi recognized Wu Yuezhi's spell immediately and acted, activating the Daluo Chessboard.

Yuan Ming's heart chilled, as if he had guessed "Wu Yuezhi's" intention. He immediately formed a spell with both hands, infusing both soul power and mana into the Soul Destroying Sword, making the curse runes on the blade flash.

In a flash, a force of curse power enveloped Wu Yuezhi from above, causing his face to pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Inside him, the golden core instantly cracked and shattered into pieces.

Simultaneously, a massive chessboard phantasm enveloped him and the Heavenly Star Chessboard together. Under Luo Qi's full force, everything within the phantasm slowed down drastically, as if time itself had decelerated.

With his cultivation plummeting, "Wu Yuezhi" naturally couldn't maintain the manipulation of his magic treasure. The Heavenly Star Chessboard instantly lost control, slowed down by the phantasm, and before it could strike the Great Wilderness Star River Pearl, it exploded into nothingness.

The violent explosion of spirit light instantly erupted into dust, yet was also constrained within the chessboard's phantom, expanding so slowly that it seemed to unfurl like a flipbook.

"What a piece of trash!"

At this moment, "Wu Yuezhi" wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat out a curse. Even though his body was riddled with holes, his face showed no signs of being affected.

Immediately afterward, a grey mist began to rise from "Wu Yuezhi's" body and condensed into an indistinct giant figure in mid-air.

Though the face of the giant was blurry, its eyes were exceptionally clear and animated. Pure black sclera like the night sky, scattered with countless dim stars. Upon closer inspection, its pupils were like a grey moon, seemingly dull but casting an enchanting, dreamlike glow. If one stared too long, one might feel an irresistible desire to plunge their divine soul into it.

As the giant appeared, Wu Yuezhi's body fell limply to the ground as if devoid of life, while Ni Mu's eyes flashed with extreme terror.

"You, you are..." Ni Mu murmured arduously, as if in a dream.

On the other hand, Guoguo, who was possessed by Xi Ying, stiffened, eyes filled with shock.

But the gaze of that giant figure did not fall upon them.

It was fixed on Yuan Ming, deep and mysterious, causing Yuan Ming to shiver, feeling as if he had been completely seen through.

"Offer everything to me," the giant's voice boomed like distant thunder, causing a nameless panic to stir in the hearts of all who heard it.

But to Yuan Ming, who faced the giant head-on, the voice was like music from the heavens, hauntingly melodious. In a trance, he seemed to see the sky darken, everything around him dissolve into nothingness, with only a pale grey moon rising slowly.

The grey moon was so tranquil and tempting, emitting waves of mysterious, soft halos, urging one to offer everything to it unreservedly.

Unknowingly, Yuan Ming's spiritual power and soul power drained away rapidly, as if absorbed by the grey moon. Despite becoming aware of this, Yuan Ming felt no resistance, allowing his cultivation and vitality to dissipate together.

"Wake up, quickly!" Suddenly, another urgent voice rang in Yuan Ming's ears.

It was a familiar voice, yet Yuan Ming could not remember to whom it belonged. But soon, countless voices chanting the same phrase flooded his ears, including his parents, Xi Ying, and those who had received his kindness and admired him wholeheartedly.

The cacophony of voices was like a torrential flood, not causing Yuan Ming any pain or noise but feeling like warm currents flowing into his sea of consciousness, merging into his divine soul.

It was the Stealing Heaven Tripod sensing damage to his divine soul and automatically feeding back Desire Power, as well as the foundation and good deeds he had accumulated during his cultivation. Born from the countless beings, yet it all originated from the seeds he had sown.

Yuan Ming suddenly realized, the first voice to speak was not someone else's; it was his own.

Having cultivated to this point, having struggled to this point, he was no longer the small Fur Beast Slave struggling to survive in the mountains of the Southern Border. Now, he was protected by the blessings of countless desires, and no one, no one at all, could alter his mind or bewilder his divine soul!

In an instant, Yuan Ming, who was nearly lost to the dream, opened his eyes with fury, raised his head in defiance, and charged directly towards the giant figure under its watchful eyes.

"Interesting, you, should not be awake," the giant figure remarked impassively, his voice laced with a hint of curiosity.

In a flash, Yuan Ming felt a strong wave of sleepiness envelop him, and everything around him began to fade away once again, pulling him toward that dream leading to oblivion.

But this time, Yuan Ming was prepared. His mind was connected to the Stealing Heaven Tripod, relentlessly drawing Desire Power from the tripod, far more than what it provided automatically, enough to keep him standing and hovering between the dream and reality.

And as the giant spoke, all others had fallen into a deep sleep, causing Luo Qi's Daluo Chessboard to break on its own, leaving Yuan Ming free to rush to the giant's figure and throw a mighty punch.

The next moment, the air roared with the force of the punch, tearing the clouds asunder and shaking the ground, yet, it did not harm the giant figure in the slightest.

"Beyond foolish," the giant figure sneered, raising his hands for the first time, his soul power surging, preparing to use some magic.

His body, made of soul power and essentially akin to soul splitting, Yuan Ming did not activate any Magic Treasures nor use magic, only relying on brute strength to fight with his physical body against a soul-breaking entity, which was akin to punching cotton. Thus, the giant figure did not even bother defending, much less resisting.

Now that the monkey show was over, it was time for him to truly take action and end this farce.

But at the instant he raised his hands, he heard Yuan Ming's clear voice:

"You're too arrogant. If you want my life, how can you leave without giving something in return?"
