From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 272 - 267: Cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty

The starry sky was barren, the spiritual energy severed, with only the pitch-black void spreading, suspended with various dust and remnants of stars.

The appearance of spiritual energy often indicated the discovery of some treasure, or at least a place containing a spirit vein that could serve as a temporary respite.

The direction of the Hanhai Bowl shifted, instantly flying toward the source of the spiritual energy, with azure radiance flickering and transforming into the sound of crashing waves.

They shuttled between the stars, passing over barren planets, and finally reached their destination, witnessing a swiftly moving meteor.

This meteor appeared extraordinary, shrouded in mist, with the crust shimmering with a jade-like luster, and spiritual light dazzlingly radiating.

It was an incredibly dense nature’s spiritual energy that dyed ordinary soil into spirit soil, with the spiritual energy turning into clouds of white mist that churned without dispersing, enveloping the meteorite’s surface.

"Something doesn’t feel right..."

Li Quanqing and Li Kunlun exchanged a glance, simultaneously sensing something unusual.

This meteor bore a distinctly artificial aura, with barely visible array patterns carved into its surface, as if it was heading toward a specific destination.

Clearly, it was something left behind by an ancient cultivator, arranged as a spirit vein, possibly intended for cultivating spiritual medicine.

Or maybe, it buried some extraordinary creature, with its body uncorrupted after death, lying dormant in the starry sky, gradually gathering dust to form a star shell, drifting through the boundless void.

The outer starry sky was truly mysterious, and in a short time, it opened their eyes to many incredible things.

They were preparing to quietly leave, not wanting to disturb anything, fearing unexpected changes.

Unexpectedly, they were discovered by a being within this spirit vein meteor, and there even existed human clan cultivators!

"Fellow Daoists, starry beings are rare, since we have the fortune to meet, why not come down as guests?"

A wisp of divine thought drifted out, carrying a gentle benevolence, released from the drifting white mist, warm and friendly.

"Also a Golden Core Realm cultivator!"

Li Quanqing sensed the strength of that divine sense and, after discussing with Li Kunlun, decided to attempt contact.

He used a turtle shell to perform a divination, which showed great fortune with no signs of danger, immediately relaxing both their moods considerably.

The Hanhai Bowl trembled lightly and transformed into a stream of light, colliding into the abundant spiritual energy, the mist swirling like rolling clouds, vast and majestic.

Array patterns intertwined in the void around them, hidden deep within the mist, enveloping the entire meteor, slowly opening at this moment to reveal the scene within.

Indeed, as previously guessed, it was a medicine field floating in the starry sky, and the entire small planet had been transformed into undulating, precious spirit fields.

Pieces of jade fields were neatly divided, with fragments of spirit stones hidden in the soil, orderly arranged, vibrant with life, exuding a sense of resplendent beauty.

A brief glance revealed many thousand-year-old spiritual medicines to Li Quanqing, swaying with abundant life essence, immensely astonishing him.

What kind of power and resources could create such a medicine field meteor, traversing the starry sky ceaselessly.

A young Daoist approached from the deepest part, wearing a Lotus Crown, stepping on Step Cloud Shoes, exuding an immortal-like demeanor, full of spirituality, emanating a meticulous vibe, appearing as a righteous cultivator.

"Li Changqing, a Fifth-Rank Immortal Official of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty, greets two fellow Daoists."

This person bowed in salute, scrutinizing the large bowl before him, with black and bright eyes showing much curiosity, yet his words were quite astonishing.

Longevity Dao!

As a powerful sect unifying the Central State, it undoubtedly had divinity transformation resources.

So powerful it seemed incredible, even arguably the strongest power on the continent.

Li Quanqing was surprised with some curiosity, having heard of this sect long ago, never expecting to encounter a member here.

Beside him, Li Kunlun felt an urge to turn and leave.

He had spent several years in the outer sea, hearing many tales of the Longevity Dao and seeing some reckless cultivators trained there, akin to madmen.

Leaving a very deep impression on him.

After hesitating for a moment, the two eventually emerged from the Hanhai Bowl, likewise returning the salute: "Li Quanqing (Li Kunlun) of the East Sea, greets Fellow Daoist Changqing."

"Indeed fellow cultivators from the continent, and also of my Li family, meeting by chance in the vast starry sky is truly a privilege!"

Li Changqing laughed heartily, examining the East Sea attire on them, equally curious.

Since birth, he had lived within the Central Divine Continent, tested for spiritual root as a child, and joined the Longevity Dao to cultivate the Daoist Scripture, advancing step by step.

Eventually, achieving cultivation success, he was sent by the sect to shepherd the mortal beings of the Immortal Dynasty, starting as a lowest rank Immortal Official clerk.

Finally comprehending the worldly affairs for a hundred years, he succeeded in Core Formation, promoted to Fifth-Rank Immortal Official, stationed in an Immortal City.

Now, it was the first time he’d ever met East Sea cultivators, feeling a special kinship, friendly in demeanor.

Li Quanqing conversed with him briefly, confirming that this was indeed a medicine field left by an elder of the Longevity Dao, primarily used for cultivating a precious great medicine that required absorption of starlight.

He gazed toward the deepest part of the array, unfortunately, the thick mist churned there, obscuring everything, only allowing a vague sense of immensely powerful star essence qi surging forth.

For something regarded as a great medicine by a Divinity Transformation Sect, it must be a treasure among treasures, perceivable as precious even without glimpsing its form.

Truly unparalleled in the Human World.

Li Changqing invited them to sit under a Spirit Tree, this was an ancient ginkgo tree, growing for thousands of years.

With lush branches and leaves, the tree trunk was robust, the bark cracked like dragon scales, with leaves half green, half golden and resplendent, filled with indescribable abundant spiritual energy.

The three sat down on grass mats around a large blue-green boulder under the tree, taking out Spiritual Tea to brew, the fragrance was refreshing, like the breath of spring enveloping them.

"This is the welcoming spring tea, unique to my subordinate Immortal City, unattainable anywhere else."

Li Changqing smiled and spoke, his manner as refreshing as a spring breeze, masterfully managing the pace.

Li Quanqing tasted a small sip, the rich aroma of the tea blossoming on his tongue, and in a trance, he glimpsed spring returning to the earth, mountains lush and green.

It was like tender Spirit Shoots breaking through the soil, dew-drenched camellias poised to bloom, endless spring bursting forth, leaving one with a lingering taste.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing is somewhat different from the Immortal Dynasty cultivators I’ve met before..."

Li Kunlun similarly tasted the tea, his gaze filled with inquiry as he spoke.

Li Changqing paused briefly, then smiled as he spoke: "Fellow Daoist Kunlun must have met my senior brothers and sisters who have already embarked on the Longevity Dao path. They are about to transcend the suffering and the worldly dust, truly enviable..."

Li Quanqing had heard of this; the term ’longevity’ meant to abandon the physical body, with True Spirit and Divine Soul lodging in a Magical Treasure, becoming undying and eternal, enduring with the world.

In the Ancient Era, where Divinity Transformation cultivators were many and ascension was not rare, this was undeniably considered a side path, incapable of reaching the mainstream.

However, nowadays, the Cultivation World is fragmented, its essence declining, fundamentally unable to support cultivators’ Divinity Transformation and ascension.

The cultivation method of the Longevity Dao has instead expanded greatly. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Embedding the spirit within instruments, attaining the Dao and longevity; for those powerful cultivators whose lifespans are limited, it is without doubt an incredibly alluring prospect.

After all, the power of Magical Treasures can be continuously refined and elevated, allowing them, in life constrained by bottlenecks, to glimpse the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But after death, by entrusting to Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, there is ample possibility to exhibit the combat capabilities of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

This is the capital by which the Eternal Immortal Dynasty dominates Central State, perhaps the only ancient sect possessing Divinity Transformation level combat power in today’s Cultivation World.

The three engaged in a discourse, and regardless of who they were, they felt a broadening of horizons, delighted within.

What surprised Li Quanqing was that inside the Immortal Dynasty, so-called obligatory education had already been undertaken.

Everyone can read, everyone can eat.

Other than venerating the Immortal Masters and living peacefully, the sole wish of those mortals is to bear more children.

To give birth to a child with a Spirit Root.

Because in Central Divine Continent, only cultivators have the qualifications to become the Dynasty’s officials, governing the mundane, shepherding all spirits.

A cultivator emerging from a family holds a position of significance akin to a scholar becoming a successful candidate in the imperial examination in past lives.

Husband and wife exert all effort to give birth to a cultivator!

Furthermore, as officials, cultivators could ensure favorable weather and abundant harvests with merely a spell, eliminating the situation of famine.

Such a large population base creates an astonishing number of cultivators who discuss and compare their cultivation, whose thoughts and ideas have fostered a magnificent and brilliant Eternal Immortal Dynasty!

It is, arguably, the last splendor of the Human World since the decadence of the Ancient Era.

Nonetheless, beneath this prosperity’s surface, Li Quanqing glimpsed a crisis of extreme competition, and he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

For cultivators with excellent Spirit Roots, this might indeed be the path to the Great Tao.

No need to worry about resources, they could easily emerge and rise through the fair and just official system of the Dynasty, even glimpsing longevity.

But for those with Low-grade Spirit Roots, or inferior Spirit Roots, over a lifetime, it is nothing but an arduous struggle.

Only taking roles as minor officials, shining brightly and enthusiastically for the Dynasty, ultimately dying with regrets.

The greatest benefit perhaps is being able to bless the family with a worry-free life regarding clothing and food.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing, as a fifth-grade Immortal Official and a Sealed Border Official, overseeing the Immortal City, how is it you appear in this barren void?"

Li Quanqing opened his mouth to ask, voicing the confusion within his heart.

"I am traveling the starry sky, hoping to capture stars and forge a Star Fortress, so that when my term ends, I may follow the Dynasty in waging campaigns across the lands."

"With the aid of the notes left by predecessors within the Dynasty, I found this Medicine Field Meteor, preparing to seize some opportunities, yet unexpectedly met the two of you, Fellow Daoists."

Li Changqing disclosed truthfully, he had only just arrived at this Medicine Field and shortly managed to grasp the ancient Great Array with the help of the token.

"That’s quite a coincidence, we too are preparing for the family, to forge a Star Skyship, to prepare for the impending beast tide of the Demon Clan."

Li Kunlun now laid down his guard and engaged in friendly conversation.

Li Quanqing, however, noticed another matter; as mighty as the Eternal Immortal Dynasty is, do they actually have their own enemies?

It sounds like they are expanding considerably, the battles unusually fierce indeed, which provokes so much curiosity.

"The Outer Sea Demon Clan is indeed not a minor threat."

"When our realm is strong enough, restoring the glory of our ancestors, we must launch a descending war into the legendary origin land of the Demon Clan, settling those ancient grudges!"

Li Changqing spoke solemnly, expressing words incomprehensible to the Li Family duo.

His eyes are bright, and naturally upon him arises a formidable and confident aura, as if under heaven there is nothing the Longevity Dao cannot accomplish!

Knowing their goals are mutual, preparing to capture suitable stars, Li Changqing promptly invited them to remain.

Beneath them, this meteor set by the senior authority on a fixed patrol route, wanders day by day through the starry sky.

Among its destinations, there lies a place apt for everyone, rich with asteroid belts full of Spiritual Energy to forge a Magical Treasure Heavenly Ship.

Li Quanqing couldn’t refuse any longer and remained, finding it fitting well with the Turtle Rune Spirit Divination’s hexagram—a fortunate sign.

Only after several weeks of interaction does Li Quanqing realize that even in this desolate void.

On those rare life-bearing stars, Human Clan still exist!
