Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 108: An Order from the Ancestors! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The Dongli family in the Chiyuan Immortal Sect can be considered as one of the more influential cultivation families. However, this family is mostly known for their business ventures, rarely participating in battles, treasure hunts, or internal power struggles. As a result, they appear low-key on the surface.

In fact, the ancestor of the Dongli family is a genuine Gold Core Elder! Coupled with a rare spiritual body and successful cultivation of complementary divine abilities, this Dongli ancestor holds a significant position in the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect.

At this moment, the Dongli family's ancestor, Dongli Qiu Dao, one of the elders of the sect, was meditating and researching a new secret technique in a senior-level cave dwelling on the main peak of the sect.

The old ancestor thought that before the imminent calamity of the sect arrived, his descendants should have their own retreats and opportunities for development. Before he passed away, he believed that his old face could help his clan avoid most of the disasters. After all, the ancestral teachings of the Dongli family, under his leadership, emphasized being kind and not making enemies.

However, he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, a direct descendant would actually contact him through the spirit mirror he had refined.

"Hmm?"

"How is this possible!"

"The spirit mirror I refined should be able to observe the true disciples of the immortals. It shouldn't have shattered even with the current nine elders!"

"Could it be that the white-haired youth possesses some kind of rare spiritual body?"

Dongli Qiu Dao's interest was piqued. His eyes instantly turned black and white. This was the divine ability he relied on to become a Gold Core, the Eye of Insight that could perceive all things. With the rare spiritual body enhancement in terms of divination, he had a special advantage in divination techniques.

As for the possible backlash from divination, this old ancestor of the Dongli family had taken all precautions. Even if it was just divining the shattered spirit mirror that had a deep connection with him, it only involved the younger generation at the Qi Refining stage. He didn't underestimate it due to its insignificance.

Dongli Qiu Dao made preparations and set up nine layers of soul protection measures around the cave dwelling. In addition, he was currently inside the mountain protection formation of the main peak of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect, which provided some shelter.

Dongli Qiu Dao believed that with these arrangements, even if he was divining the first generation Chiyuan Immortal, he wouldn't suffer any backlash even if he failed.

Everything was ready!

Dongli Qiu Dao took out a copper mirror spiritual treasure that looked the same but was actually a mother mirror. He had been in sync with this spiritual treasure for hundreds of years. With a thought, he immediately connected to the shattered copper mirror in the overseas islands.

"Huh, it really shattered due to backlash!"

"Interesting, let me see what remains caused this."

"Let me trace back to the source!"

In an instant, Dongli Qiu Dao suddenly had a palpitation, as if something unexpected had occurred. At his level, a sudden impulse was a sign of divine warning. However, divine warnings were not necessarily bad; they could also indicate a great opportunity to change the future.

Dongli Qiu Dao's black and white eyes kept rotating, and after a few seconds of turbulent thoughts, he decided to continue divination.

If the Chiyuan Immortal Sect was still in its prime, he naturally wouldn't take the risk, even if the target seemed to have a higher probability of benefits outweighing the drawbacks. But now, with the situation unfolding in the main hall that even these Gold Core Elders couldn't enter...

(End of translation)

A dark cloud has cast over Dongli's pursuit of the Dao, giving him a sense of urgency for change.

And now, this slight palpitation is seen by Dongli as a hope for transformation!

A new possibility!

Whoosh!

The Spirit Communication Mirror emits a white light.

Dongli's eyes shoot out black and white energy, intertwining with the white light in an instant!

Buzz!

A scene appears and envelops the ancestral ancestor of the Dongli family!

He feels that everything around him has turned into pitch-black void.

Dongli finds himself surrounded by pure darkness in front of him.

Apart from feeling a tremendous pressure constantly weighing on him, making him want to kneel and bow sincerely, he can't see anything...

No, that's not it!

It's not that he can't see!

It's... the other party is too majestic!

He... only sees a small part of the other party's majestic figure!

Fortune touches the soul.

Dongli immediately feels the scene in front of him rapidly retreating, moving further away from his previous position.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally sees a great outline in front of him that cannot be described in words.

In this instant, Dongli suddenly stops retreating, unable to see the specific appearance of the outline.

Just this first glance.

It lets Dongli know that he has seen the eternal within eternity.

Greatness above greatness.

The supreme being of the past, present, and future!

Remembering everything, being able to recreate everything, the supreme ruler of time.

Just this one glance.

Dongli's divination scene shatters.

His black and white eyes both burst, but there is no trace of blood, only two terrifying holes on his face.

And the spiritual treasure bronze mirror in his hand cracks apart with a terrifying sound.

The nine layers of formations in the cave are all burning and turning into ashes.

Even the main peak of the Red Kite Immortal Sect, many cultivators who are on duty, clearly sense that the entire mountain formation seems to have suddenly trembled for a moment?

Fortunately, after a thorough inspection, the formation remains unharmed. They can only attribute it to the possibility that a crack in some evil energy happened to open nearby and was quickly sealed due to the existence of the Red Kite Immortal Sect's formation.

"Haha... hahaha."

In the ancestral ancestor's cave, Dongli, who has lost his sight, laughs with satisfaction after seeing the truth.

"I've seen it!"

"I've seen the true supreme, the true great existence!"

"What evil gods, what immortals, they are completely unworthy of comparison."

"This is the true existence that is different from us, the existence that is worthy of wholehearted worship..."

"The supreme who wields the power of time and the memories of all things."

"The great existence that can recreate all memories!"

"I cannot know your honorable title, I can only describe myself as a projection of your greatness..."

"I am willing to become your most loyal hound and servant from now on..."

Dongli, with the imprint left on the divination Spirit Communication Mirror from the contact with the Memory Scepter.

Thus, the true origin of the Memory Scepter was revealed, behind the supreme phantom who wielded the power of time and the memories of all things.

Even if it was just an outline, just a phantom.

The higher-dimensional power it contained, with the help of divination's special feedback, still allowed Dongli to seek the path, forge great supernatural powers, achieve the Gold Core transformation, and maintain an unyielding state of mind...

But it was shattered just like that!

And after being shattered and reformed, a certain fanatical belief in and worship of higher-dimensional existence arose due to great fear.

So...

Overseas islands, the branch of the Dongli family that eagerly awaited answers in the waters of Xugui Island.

After being tormented by uneasy emotions for a long time, the middle-aged man in armor finally noticed ripples appearing once again on the spirit mirror in his hand:

[Ancestral command!]

[Our Dongli clan must not offend the esteemed master, regardless of status!]

[If the esteemed master has any needs, we must fully cooperate to please them!]

[Those who violate this will have their parents, children, and grandchildren implicated! They will be expelled from the clan, and cannot return for three generations!]

"Esteemed master?"

The middle-aged man in armor widened his eyes, and the young sword cultivator next to him, who was secretly looking at the mirror, also had a bewildered expression.

They were trying to confirm if they were seeing illusions.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the mirror again.

But it was a message from the current clan leader of the Dongli family:

[Just now, it was indeed an ancestral command. You must not make any mistakes!]

[In addition, quickly draw a portrait of the white-haired youth you saw before, and I will distribute it to each family!]

[Remember, from today onwards, our Dongli clan is the most loyal hunting dog and servant of the esteemed master!]

"Hiss!"

"How is this possible... What is the origin of that youth just now!"

"Why did the ancestral command reveal a master to us when the ancestral command was investigating?"

"The ancestral command is the Gold Core ancestor of the Red Kite Immortal Sect, how could this happen!"

"Could it be that the white-haired youth is a great supernatural cultivator who can make even the ancestral command and the Red Kite Immortal Sect submit!"

The middle-aged man in armor took a sharp breath.

The young sword cultivator was even more terrified, his legs trembling.

Fortunately, his father was cautious enough not to directly offend the other party.

Otherwise... not only would their entire clan be annihilated, but the entire Dongli family would also plummet because they offended such a great supernatural cultivator.

It's just that their branch has done something wrong. How could they encounter something that even fairy sect novels dare not write about, something that only exists in theoretical legends!

Su Ping rode the Great Black Fish back to the small town by the coast.

He put the Great Black Fish back into the Pot Heaven Cave.

Su Ping didn't know that because of the Memory Scepter, a group of loyal dogs inexplicably appeared behind him.

After returning to the land, he put on a mask to restore his original appearance, used his divine sense to suppress the aura of a high-level cultivator, and went to the tavern in the small town to taste seafood.

Then he listened to the new stories being told by storytellers.

As the branches of the cultivation families continued to migrate to the seaside, these storytellers' new stories included many tales of slaying sea monsters.

Especially with the appearance of large-scale ships.

It was rumored that more and more sea beasts, measuring ten to twenty meters, had become people's prey.

Even the port had begun to organize fleets to attempt deep-sea fishing.

Not only because deep-sea fishing could catch more fish and more valuable sea beasts, but also because Su Ping heard rumors being deliberately spread in the streets and alleys.

It was said that fishermen who had escaped after a shipwreck claimed that there were even more distant overseas immortal islands beyond the overseas islands.

Those islands are bathed in colorful light at dawn and dusk, with spiritual beasts soaring and playing in the sky.

These islands are naturally called fairy islands among mortals.

But in the eyes of cultivators, fairy islands are clearly islands with spiritual veins!

Islands with spiritual veins are the places where branches of cultivation families should stay.

Even if their grade is slightly lower, they are not comparable to the impoverished overseas islands!

Su Ping estimated that even if the cultivation families thought the rumors were not very credible.

After all, it is impossible to confirm one hundred percent.

So these families will probably send ships to join the ocean fleet, and this ocean voyage will become a certain trend.

It is unknown whether someone is plotting something behind the scenes.

Or simply unwilling to die on the overseas islands and wanting to take a chance while they still have the capital!

After eating local snacks and satisfying his taste buds, Su Ping left the port town and visited Jinjian City along the way.

Su Ping saw this once prosperous city, which was devastated by a fierce battle between cultivators, and even now, only a small part of its vitality has been restored.

The landmark building here, a giant sword, seems to have been unaffected and still stands silently in its original place.

In addition to feeling sorry, Su Ping kindly found the remaining local aristocratic families and borrowed the sealing artifacts that could still be found from them.

After all, these sealing artifacts have no idea when they will be completely purified here.

They can't afford to allocate manpower to build temples and hold rituals, and pray day and night.

The compassionate ones did come and left quickly after confirming that there were no evil spirits after purifying the souls.

In the end, mortals still have to rely on themselves to recuperate.

Since that's the case, it's better to use them for Su Ping first.

After all, it's all for purifying evil spirits and protecting the great cause of the cultivation world.

Giving them to Su Ping can also accelerate the purification progress of the sealing artifacts!

Su Ping also took a trip to the Yunshan Market, exchanged for high-quality pills, and bought some medicine and materials.

This time, Su Ping noticed some anomalies and obvious actions from the Dongli family towards the Xuanturtle Island. He planned to stay in Jinque City and Shuilan Star for the next few weeks, and when he had enough merit, cultivated his supernatural powers, and started Foundation Building, he would go fishing on Xuanturtle Island.

It is expected that no matter how powerful the Dongli family is, they should be able to give face to a Foundation Building cultivator.

After all, he is not going to ask for spirit stones for his Foundation Building, he just wants to fish and comprehend the world.

In any case, he will also become a member of the Dongli family's treasure club.

...

In the Pot in a Bottle.

Su Ping and the demon-expelling youth, Yun Kong, finished a battle where every move hit the flesh.

This time, relying on the increase in divine consciousness and the improvement of overall quality, Su Ping gained the upper hand for the first time.

With his courage up, Su Ping began to think about the next time he would have Baihetongzi and Yun Kong join him in a real battle!

After resting for a while, he drew some fake dragon blood and gave it to the big black fish, Chiwen, and watched it start to digest the fake dragon blood.

Su Ping's attention was then drawn to Shana Wati, who was studying how to draw symbols under the foot of the big locust tree buried in the ground.

This young and intelligent girl had just completed a Qi Gathering Symbol in one go.

This is one of the simplest first-order symbols.

But even if it's simple, it still belongs to the first-order symbols!

Shana Wati can draw such symbols, and in the cultivation world, she is already a formal symbol master who can earn spirit stones!

"Indeed, she is a blood symbol spirit body, a genius in the way of symbols!"

"In just a few days, she feels like she has caught up with my progress in the way of symbols!"

"Hmm? Has she already discovered how to use her special physique to her advantage?"

Su Ping noticed that when Shana Wati was drawing a new symbol, she pricked her index finger with a needle and then dropped a drop of blood on the symbol paper.

Then, she completed it in one go!

A small protective symbol that Su Ping hadn't even learned was successfully drawn by Shana Wati!
