Are There Really Immortals in the World?!

During the reign of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Imperial Capital, in the Purple Gold Palace, in the Royal Study, Yuwen Xiu suddenly opened his eyes. He took a deep breath and quickly sat up from the desk where he was lying face down, gasping heavily. 

"Your Majesty!"

An old eunuch rushed into the study, waving his feather duster and quickly approaching Yuwen Xiu. His pale face was filled with worry.

Other young eunuchs in the study gathered around, kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered, not daring to make a sound.

Eleven-year-old Emperor Yuwen Xiu of the Great Zhou Dynasty already possessed an aura of majesty.

He waved his sleeve, causing the trembling eunuchs on the ground to retreat, leaving only the old eunuch.

Yuwen Xiu furrowed his brows tightly, feeling puzzled.

Was it a dream?

Indeed, it was just a dream. The so-called immortal fate... was nothing but a joke.

However, if it was really just a dream, it felt too real.

The unpredictable abilities of Land Fan had left Yuwen Xiu deeply frightened.

"The white jade capital in the sky, the twelve towers and five cities..."

Yuwen Xiu muttered to himself, raising his hand to touch his forehead, feeling a faint pain.

Suddenly, his gaze narrowed.

A faint blue light flashed at the center of his eyebrows, and instantly, a strong gust of wind blew in the study. The pale blue airflow seemed to be like a divine dragon entwining around Yuwen Xiu's body, burrowing from his eyebrows to his lower abdomen.

"What is this..."

Yuwen Xiu was shocked, unable to put it into words. The power contained within that strand of airflow seemed to be on the verge of bursting his body.

The old eunuch in the study felt his blood surging, stimulated by the spiritual energy within Yuwen Xiu's body.

"Your Majesty! What is this?!"

The old eunuch's hunched back suddenly straightened, his eyes filled with concern as he stared at Yuwen Xiu.

Terrifying blood energy surged in his body, causing seven consecutive explosions.

This old eunuch turned out to be a master martial artist with profound cultivation!

At this moment, Yuwen Xiu was also a little panicked. After all, he was just an eleven-year-old child.

"Go quickly and fetch the National Teacher!"

Yuwen Xiu was in a state of extreme panic, unsure if the airflow that continued to burrow into his lower abdomen was harmful.

His mind was in chaos.

At this moment, he remembered the ethereal "Six Great Immortals" in the mysterious space.

Could this thing burrowing into his abdomen really be what the immortals left behind?

Yuwen Xiu's mind was in turmoil.

The moment the old eunuch received the order from Yuwen Xiu, he hurriedly rushed out of the study.

However, just as he walked out of the study, the old eunuch's body trembled.

In the distance, an old man wearing a wide robe and a tall hat slowly approached.

The old eunuch's face turned red, and his blood energy dissipated.

"Greetings, National Teacher."

The old eunuch waved his feather duster and stepped aside, bowing respectfully.

"I know about Your Majesty's situation. Guard the study and do not allow anyone to enter."

The National Teacher said.

The old eunuch lowered his body even more.

The National Teacher no longer glanced at the old eunuch, calmly entering the study.

Inside the study, Yuwen Xiu was at a loss. He felt that the strange power in his body was almost about to burst, causing his face to turn red as if it would bleed.

Although Yuwen Xiu practiced martial arts, his strength was very weak. He only practiced martial arts to strengthen his body.

At this moment, he was having trouble controlling his blood energy.

The National Teacher entered the study.

Yuwen Xiu seemed to have found a life-saving straw.

"Teacher, save me."

Yuwen Xiu called out to the National Teacher.

"Calm your mind, calm your heart, calm your breath."

"Unify your spirit and energy. Just as the heavens and earth possess righteous spirit, the human body also possesses righteous energy. Your Majesty, do not be afraid. Learn to control it."

The National Teacher spoke slowly and gently.

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Xiu's initially chaotic heart unexpectedly calmed down.

He took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy within him also calmed down, circulating smoothly in his body, making him radiant.

"This is..."

Yuwen Xiu's mind was in turmoil.

Immortal fate...

It really was immortal fate!

"Your Majesty, please tell me, what happened?"

Inside the study, the National Teacher looked at Yuwen Xiu with profound and kind eyes.

...

In the Western Liang Kingdom, inside the main camp, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly opened his eyes. Terrifying blood energy surged, producing continuous strange sounds that stirred everything in the tent.

His pitch-black hair seemed to pierce the air like steel needles.

Bang!

Xiang Shaoyun slapped his forehead. There, a faint light flickered, and a strange aura was forcefully absorbed by his strong blood energy.

A pair of tender and fair hands reached out from behind Xiang Shaoyun, embracing his broad chest.

A low whimper came out, three thousand strands of green silk hanging down, revealing the silky white skin in the air.

"Shaoyun, what's wrong?"

Her voice was soft and tender, like the cry of a valley bird.

"Min Sang, I woke you up."

Xiang Shaoyun's angry expression suddenly melted away, his voice becoming soft and gentle. Even a man of iron had a soft spot.

Behind Xiang Shaoyun, a breathtakingly beautiful little face appeared. This girl was Xiang Shaoyun's childhood sweetheart, Luo Ming Sang.

Luo Ming Sang weakly raised her delicate and boneless hand, placing it on top of Xiang Shaoyun's hand that covered his chest. In her clear and pure eyes, a hint of worry appeared.

Xiang Shaoyun's large hand grabbed Luo Ming Sang's small hand, and his other hand gently brushed through her smooth green silk, comforting her gently.

After soothing Luo Ming Sang back to sleep, the tenderness on Xiang Shaoyun's face disappeared completely.

Sensing the strange aura that seemed to be surging uncontrollably within his strong blood energy, his face showed a mix of shock and uncertainty.

"What is this strand of qi... what is it?"

"That guy who played tricks, could he really be an immortal?!"

"Are there really immortals in the world?!"

 North Lucheng.

Lu Mansion.

Lu Fan, sitting in a wheelchair, had sharp eyes.

Moonlight poured in through the window, shining on his face, emitting a sparkling radiance.

"The [Mission Platform] is quite interesting, similar to programming tools."

Lu Fan pondered.

With a slight movement of his mind, a pale blue light swiftly condensed in the palm of his hand, and soon, a palm-sized, faintly visible three-legged small furnace appeared in Lu Fan's palm.

"The Furnace of a Thousand Laws."

"The Qi cultivation level is too low, is it still unable to manifest in reality?"

Lu Fan murmured.

The Furnace of a Thousand Laws could deduce **, consuming spiritual energy to transform cultivation techniques such as blood manipulation and martial arts moves into authentic methods that could cultivate spiritual energy.

Just this ability alone made the value of the [Furnace of a Thousand Laws] immeasurable.

Furthermore, the furnace was currently only at level 1. If it could be upgraded to a higher level, would it really be able to deduce immortal cultivation methods?

Lu Fan exhaled slowly.

The little furnace dissipated, and he stood up from the wheelchair, walking to the window.

His gaze lifted.

On the rooftop.

Ning Zhao sat cross-legged, bathing in the moonlight, with two strands of spiritual energy entwined around her body, emitting a radiant glow.

Lu Fan leaned against the window, his gaze shifting horizontally. On the vacant green brick ground in the distance, whip shadows crisscrossed as the fox-faced maidservant Yi Yue exerted herself, her qi and blood bursting forth like rain.

She wanted to cultivate diligently, enter the ranks of top-notch martial artists as soon as possible, and bring fortune to the Young Master.

On the edge of the green brick ground, Ni Yu held a food box, her chubby chin resting on it, dozing off while drool flowed down from the corner of her mouth.

Lu Fan smiled gently.

The scene was beautiful and heartwarming.

"The side mission has been triggered."

Suddenly.

A system prompt abruptly appeared, breaking the warm atmosphere.

Lu Fan was stunned. He had never expected to trigger a side mission for no reason.

In the next moment, the attribute panel automatically popped up.

Host: Lu Fan

Title: Qi Cultivator (permanent)

Qi cultivation level: 1 (Progress for Level 2: 10,100 strands)

Soul intensity: 65

Body intensity: 05

Spiritual energy: 1 strand

Transformation reward: "Creating Profound Qi Cultivation"

World rating: Wuhuang Continent [Low Martial]

Permissions: [Mission], [Mission Platform], [Spiritual Energy Projection]

Branch permission: [Furnace of a Thousand Laws (lv1)]

In the attribute panel, Lu Fan's soul intensity reached an unprecedented height of 65.

He allocated all five attribute points obtained from the transformation reward to the soul intensity category.

With another 25 attribute points, he would reach a total of 9 points in soul intensity.

According to what was mentioned in "Creating Profound Qi Cultivation," 9 points in soul intensity could be exchanged for 90 strands of spiritual energy.

Adding the 10 strands of basic spiritual energy extracted from his legs, it would exactly amount to 100 strands, meeting the standard for reaching Level 2 in Qi cultivation.

Lu Fan swept his gaze over the system's attribute column.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, landing on the permission [Mission], as this section was flickering with a flashing light, intermittently bright and dim.

Lu Fan squinted.

After pondering for a moment, he didn't hesitate.

With a movement of his mind, he entered the [Mission] permission.
