Chapter 118: The Ancient Immortal Immortal


He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow,

Does this thing deserve the name "Immortal Immortal"?

Just as he felt puzzled, "Tongue Desire" sent feedback again.

["Tongue Desire" stirred greatly, gaining an insight, "The Life of an Immortal Immortal"]

["Tongue Desire" stirred greatly, gaining a thread of primordial vitality]

As expected, there were other gains, and Fan Wubing breathed a slight sigh of relief. He didn't want his senior sister to risk capturing a jellyfish only for a measly "Blood Bar +1".

He first comprehended "The Life of an Immortal Immortal".

The moment his spirit immersed in this insight, everything around him suddenly vanished.

Sound, color, shape... all disappeared.

What he could see in front of him, or rather... what he could feel, was neither darkness nor light, but a kind of "silent gray." Why was it "silent"? Fan Wubing couldn't answer that question; he just felt it should be described that way. Because no matter what you did to that grayness ahead, you couldn't receive any feedback.

His personal will and thoughts quickly flattened with this silence.

He stopped thinking, closed himself off.

The state lasted for an unknown duration, then suddenly... something began to move. He instantly regained consciousness, having a sense of self again, beginning to think and feel everything. He saw a splendid grand "primordial feast," a living vitality, suddenly blossoming in the silent gray world, then a massive burst of vitality surged in like a flood bursting a dam.

There was color, there was sound, then slowly, there were specific shapes... strange and peculiar beings were born in this feast. Their appearance seemed cobbled together randomly, utterly indifferent to life's aesthetic and harmony, with every part of their limbs growing "however they wished."

Gradually... lives began to possess more harmonious forms, passing these forms down through generations, transforming in each era until they became teeming with vitality. Until a certain moment, Fan Wubing suddenly realized these lives seemed not much different from what he usually saw; their vitality tasted very similar.

Then,

The ocean appeared.

And then... he lost himself again, transforming into a jellyfish, drifting in the ocean, surrounded by jellyfish just like him. They formed a group, emitting blue-golden light in the deep sea, each surge exuding powerful vitality: eternal and indestructible.

Timeless and eternal time passed blurrily in the ocean.

One day, he saw a woman in a dark waistcoat and wind-walking attire appear before him. The woman reached out her hand, scooping him out of the ocean, wrapping him with a stream of vital energy. He swam freely in the water sphere formed by this vital energy... He wasn't contemplating what this meant, for he was merely a jellyfish born from the primordial, with the name "Immortal Immortal."

Until he was swallowed, a force impossible to resist gradually released everything he possessed.

In the end, he became part of a person named Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing gradually woke up; outside the window, a crescent moon hung high, stars twinkled, silent apart from the gentle night breeze.

It was already deep into the night.

"The Life of an Immortal Immortal" was the most unique insight given by "Tongue Desire" since Fan Wubing obtained "Swallowing Stars and Masticating Moon." In the end, he found it hard to distinguish whether he was Fan Wubing or a deep-sea Immortal Immortal that existed since the primordial times.

Thinking back, the woman dressed in the dark attire he had just seen must have been his senior sister. Though distorted through the swaying water, her eyes he could recognize instantly. Her eyes were like the eternal, indestructible Milky Way.

"Hoo..."

The aftertaste of "The Life of an Immortal Immortal" was so strong that Fan Wubing found it difficult to be interested in other things after experiencing it. The feeling of swimming freely in the primordial ocean was indescribably unique, as was the ephemeral aura emitted by that primordial life.

Everything was beautiful as if in a dream.

After taking a moment, Fan Wubing went on to perceive the second special gain "Tongue Desire" had digested—

A thread of "primordial vitality."

Fan Wubing settled his mind, earnestly contemplating and interpreting.

But... his strong player insight hit a wall with this thread of "primordial vitality."

This was the first time, as even the celestial-grade "Blood Tribulation Death Immortal Skill" was only slightly slow to comprehend and nowhere near hitting a wall.

He did not become discouraged, holding his breath and concentrating, meticulously breaking it down bit by bit.

But it remained difficult, like searching for a small pebble in an overwhelmingly dense fog.

What exactly was this "primordial vitality"? Why was it so hard to comprehend?

Fan Wubing was quite puzzled. With his "top-tier insight" from the player panel having such difficulty in comprehending, wouldn't it be impossible for others to even touch it?

No,

There must be some step gotten wrong; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to not comprehend even the slightest. Since it could be digested by "Tongue Desire," it must be comprehensible somehow, just... requiring something.

"Primordial vitality... primordial... primordial... right, Immortal Immortal is a primordial creature. Is it necessary to comprehend this so-called 'primordial vitality' from the perspective of Immortal Immortal?"

Thinking so, he immediately tried to assume himself as the just-consumed Immortal Immortal. This process was difficult because he needed to first lower his sense of self to the minimum, then embody the perspective of Immortal Immortal.
