Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone

"But fellow cultivator, you can open your eyes henceforth, and even apply to join us."

"Fellow cultivator, your interference with this realm has gone too deep. The causes and effects directly and indirectly generated are truly astounding. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive the Heavenly Tribulation."

Wang Jixuan's mind was racing, and he deliberately displayed a somewhat disdainful expression.

"Heavenly Tribulation? I've actually already bypassed it."

The four mysterious visitors were visibly stunned.

"Bypassed it?"

"Then you, fellow cultivator..."

"That's impossible! The Heavenly Tribulation in this realm is naturally sixty percent more difficult than in the Heavenly Circle and Earthly Square realm!"

"Shut up! If you want to get struck by lightning, I certainly don't!"

Wang Jixuan immediately took note of this information.

See, just chatting yields results.

Master Wang smiled as he looked at the four, ensuring they wouldn't reveal more, before speaking slowly:

"You all actually came late. It's my second life that caused the spiritual energy and various causes and effects."

"My second life has been asleep here for six hundred thousand years, and there was no sign of you at that time."

"In my second life, I prepared for six thousand years, everything was ready, I comprehended the secrets of the Great Path, survived the Nine-layered Heavenly Tribulation, endured one Heavenly Punishment, and saw the Immortal Gate."

The four listened intently.

Wang Jixuan deliberately let a mystery linger: "In the end, who would have thought I'd still fall."

The leading female cultivator immediately became unsettled, frowning and asking, "Fellow cultivator, are you sure you underwent the tribulation in this realm?"

"Indeed."

"This, shouldn't be..."

The female cultivator thought deeply, constantly sensing something, and suddenly appeared enlightened.

"Fellow cultivator, could it be that you've concealed other secret treasures on you, and used them to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Wang Jixuan didn't deny it.

He now needed to increase his bargaining chips.

Master Wang said, "There is indeed a secret treasure, but the Heavenly Tribulation was borne by myself, and the elixirs used were also refined by me. The secret treasure merely protected a wisp of my residual soul, allowing me to step into this third life."

The four fell into silence once more.

The middle-aged male cultivator couldn't help but mutter, "Fellow cultivator, are you really that courageous?"

Wang Jixuan raised an ornate wine cup.

"Come, I toast to you all."

Yet he refused to elaborate further.

...

Half an hour later.

The banquet ended in displeasure.

Wang Jixuan said he would discuss with his friends and disciples, sending the four mysterious cultivators to a side palace to rest.

Once the four left, the others couldn't contain their chatter.

Wang Jixuan recalled that Xiao Huating, who usually disliked talking, was surprisingly intrigued today, not at all like someone who had been frozen most of the day.

Zheng Shiduo mumbled, "Wang, do you think this might be some Plane Enforcer? I see this setup in many stories."

"Plane Enforcer meaning they are at the Body Integration stage?"

Wang Jixuan shook his head:

"The four of them might be considered experts in the cultivation world, but what you suggest doesn't seem realistic."

"What I'm really puzzled about is why it took them six hundred thousand years to come over when my second life spent six thousand years here without any response from them."

"That's the biggest flaw."

Amina asked, "Are you worried it's a plot by Hei Yao?"

"Not necessarily Hei Yao plotting," Wang Jixuan said, "Can Hei Yao even produce Body Integration realm experts? Even if they reverse-engineered the Outer Golden Core Path I gave them, grooming a batch of Body Integration realm experts without one or two hundred years is impossible unless they are extraordinarily talented."

Wu Man said, "They should have a hostile or at least competitive relationship with another group. Shouldn't we exploit that?"

"Disguise as another group to attack them?" Zheng Shiduo wondered, "How do we handle our core circuit?"

Master Wang kept pondering, stroking his chin.

The four of them weren't willing to divulge too much information, as speaking more seemed to really invite punishment.

Who exactly is behind this scheming?

Why is the Heavenly Tribulation in this realm thirty percent more difficult?

Isn't the direction of civilization here all about using technology to change fate? Before encountering him in the Yina Civilization, all the civilizations were striving towards the path of collective ascension.

Changing the direction of this world has triggered a great cause and effect; Wang Jixuan believes this.

He deliberately omitted mentioning the Immortal's Finger, intending to delve further, but unexpectedly, the four of them expressed utter shock at his ability to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

From this, it can be seen that for these four people, becoming an immortal is also an extremely difficult task.

Today wasn't a fruitless endeavor.

Moreover, the subsequent gains might be even greater.

Suddenly, something came to Wang Jixuan's mind, and he frowned, saying: "Amina, go send a message. Have Mu Dan take Lingtong and temporarily leave the surface, preferably returning to the front lines for a few days, where it's relatively safer."

Wu Man did not understand: "Teacher, why is that?"

"Assume that these four people are opposed to another group, these four have previously mentioned that they generally observe the movements of the other group to gather intelligence."

Wang Jixuan's mouth twisted lightly:

"Now, since these four have come over, that other group is probably not far from showing up."

"Hmm," Amina got up hurriedly, "I will notify Mu Dan, and Earth will also strengthen its defenses."

Master Wang, however, said: "Try making a few signposts for them, pointing out the way to Cloud City. If the other group indeed shows up, then we will invite them into our trap."

"Alright, I'll arrange that."

Wang Jixuan signaled for the others to rest for a while.

He sat down, eyes closed, quickly forming hand seals, and began eavesdropping on the transmissions of the four people.

The gains earlier were minimal, but what's to come may not be the same.

...

"This appearance is really strange."

A middle-aged female cultivator stood in front of the mirror, examining herself, frowning and shaking her head with a look of disdain.

"Bear with it," a middle-aged male cultivator next to her grumbled, "This mission is a bit tricky, we won't gain an inch by making a move here, this is a mighty one who survived a Heavenly Tribulation."

For convenience in observation, Wang Jixuan secretly numbered them and divided them according to cultivation level:

Female A, Male B, Male C, Female D.

Female D snorted: "Does he count surviving the Heavenly Tribulation in his second life as surviving it? Probably fooling people."

Female A shook her head: "No, he indeed has a wisp of Immortal Spirit Qi on him. If I'm not mistaken with my Peeping Sky Divine Eyes, he has cultivated a perfect Tao Foundation in this life, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi towards the Source, and even the fortune of a dragon and phoenix in harmony, his path to Immortality is already smooth."

"Having passed the Heavenly Tribulation, why hasn't he become immortal?"

"Longing for the worldly pleasures? Isn't it said the Immortal Realm is more worldly than the mundane world?"

"Are you stupid? Think about what this place is?"

"Oh right, the Forbidden Realm."

Male C sighed and said:

"This guy is ruthless; the Immortal Forbidden Land is shattered, only residual spiritual energy gathers upon the stars, yet, he managed to create spiritual energies."

"Have the core circuits of those spirit cultivators been investigated?"

"What can I say, even if you give me, or my sect a thousand years, we might not be able to create such precise restriction arrays."

"How in the world did they manage to carve down nine layers, tens of thousands of prohibition circuits in such a small area like a fingernail?"

Female A said: "If the intelligence we gathered is correct, the core circuits of the spirit cultivators are all his handiwork, he is indeed a talent."

The silent Male B asked: "Should we send a message back for instructions? Perhaps, we could offer him great rewards and help him avoid punishment."

"He is living blissfully here," Female D said sarcastically, "Look at those two women, both lovely and delicate, top beauties wherever they go. Such immortal fruits yet to be picked, would he be willing to leave?"

"Hey, Ling Hua, don't speak like that, I don't think this person's actions are those of an evil demon."

Female D snorted and said no more.

Wang Jixuan continued listening, but thereafter there was not too much effective information.

It was the leading female cultivator who took out a jade talisman, seemingly wrote something on it, and then gently crushed it.

Wang Jixuan carefully sensed it, not detecting any fluctuations.

But he was sure that the other party had already sent out some message.

'Immortal Forbidden Land,' Wang Jixuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.

That finger, perhaps was not aimed at him, but at... this entire realm...

While Wang Jixuan was busy eavesdropping on the clouds;

A civilian spacecraft was slowly emerging from the interstellar gate set up in outer space.
