Chapter 875 Son of the Immortal

"Before I could figure out what was going on, I was besieged by the demonic cultivators from the Cangyan Realm..."

Zhong Yuanyi sighed, "Fortunately, although my magical powers are only mediocre, I carry with me a mid-grade spiritual artifact immortal palace. Hiding in the immortal palace, these demonic cultivators can't do anything to me."

"However, these demonic cultivators still seem unwilling to give up. They sealed this immortal palace along with me, and swallowed it into the stomach of that meat swallow."

"Rouyan'er's stomach is also strange. It can actually absorb spiritual energy... and turn the entire stomach space into a place devoid of spiritual energy."

Zhong Yuanyi gnashed his teeth and said, "A cultivator needs spiritual energy to breathe in and out on a daily basis. They want to forcibly use up all my spiritual stone reserves. When there is not a trace of true energy left in my body, I will naturally be unable to continue hiding in the Immortal Mansion. Then I will be at their mercy!"

"Hey! After more than a thousand years, I didn't expect that Zhong is still alive and well, right?"

Zhong Yuanyi smiled and said, "How could they know that I, Zhong, have awakened a destiny called [Consolidating Essence and Preserving Essence] since I was a child. This allows me to become [An Infallible Body], so that not a single trace of my true essence, spiritual power, or blood essence will escape!"

"Even if it takes thousands or tens of thousands of years, they won't be able to drain my essence."

Jing Yu's mind moved, and he cast a detection spell towards the fairy palace.

Although this Immortal Mansion could block attacks and even defend against divine thoughts to a certain extent, it could not block Jing Yu's [Life Technique]. This detection spell passed through layers of restrictions and successfully landed on Zhong Yuanyi's original body hiding in the Immortal Mansion. The next moment -

Four purple seal characters suddenly appeared on the surface of the [Xuanjing] mirror in Jing Yu's Dantian:

[Strengthen the essence and protect the vitality].

"【Consolidating Essence and Preserving Essence】, Grade: Spiritual Grade (Purple)."

"Specific function: The owner of this fate has an impermeable body, which can lock up all material energies such as their own true essence, blood, and even divine consciousness to the greatest extent possible, making them immune to magical powers such as energy absorption, soul extraction, and blood transformation."

"Spiritual quality destiny!"

While Jing Yu was stunned, a purple light ball suddenly lit up in the mirror world of Xuan Jing, which was the manifestation of the fate of [Zhong Yuan Yi].

The next moment, a white life bead suddenly split out from the purple light ball, dragging a white stream of light and falling into the lake in the mirror world.

Jing Yu's divine consciousness rolled up the life bead and found that the words "Bigu" were engraved on it.

This is a white ordinary fate called [Bigu], the only function of which is to resist hunger and quench thirst. People with this fate, even if they are just ordinary people, can maintain a normal life even if they do not eat or drink for dozens of days.

Jing Yu knew that this was because he had just indirectly saved Zhong Yuanyi's life, which led to the connection between the two people's destinies, and the life-saving grace directly gave birth to this white life bead.

When the connection between their destinies deepens in the future, Jing Yu will even be able to obtain the blue superior life bead of [Bigu], or even the purple life bead of [Gu Yuan Shou Jing] from Zhong Yuanyi.

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, Rouyan'er and Xuetuozi have already reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but have yet to ascend. Is it because of you?" Jing Yu asked.

"Exactly!"

Zhong Yuanyi snorted, "After all, I'm a mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivator from the Immortal Realm. If it weren't for these two late-stage Divine Transformation demon cultivators, the remaining indigenous Divine Transformations in the Cangyan Realm might not be able to suppress me. If I escape then, Rouyan'er and Xuetuozi will fear retaliation in the Immortal Realm, so they'll naturally have to stay in the Lower Realm."

"Of course, perhaps they are unwilling to give up and want to get the treasures on me, so they came up with such a bad idea and tried to use up all my spiritual stone reserves."

"Why don't they take you with them to ascend? By the time they reach the Cave Heaven Realm, they will still be able to destroy your Immortal Palace."

Zhong Yuanyi shook his head: "It won't work... Fellow Daoist, although my Zhong family has fallen apart, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. There are still many elders of my family who have reached the Cave Heaven Realm hidden in various places in the First Heaven."

"When I return to the Immortal Realm and send out the Zhong family's special distress signal, one or two elders will surely come. How will the two of them be alive then?"

"Are you so sure that you can get the elders here?" Jing Yu asked back.

Zhong Yuanyi's expression was a little timid at this moment: "Should...should be possible? It doesn't matter whether my elders can come or not. It depends on whether Rouyan'er and Xuetuozi dare to gamble."

"Well, no matter what, I still want to thank you for helping me out... Could you take me back to the fairyland? I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Jing Yu smiled faintly: "The Zhong family was destroyed by a great enemy. The fairyland is not necessarily safe for you. It might even be better for you to stay in the lower realm."

Zhong Yuanyi gritted his teeth and said, "I know this truth... but more than a thousand years have passed. I... I... was born into the Zhong family. How can I just keep running away?"

"The resources in the Immortal Realm are better, and the environment for cultivation is more favorable. Only by returning to the Immortal Realm can I have the opportunity to open up the inner cave heaven, and even advance to the Mahayana stage... or even... achieve the realm of immortals!"

"Zhong spent the first half of his life living a mediocre and dissolute life... He wasn't devoted to cultivation, nor did he have the energy to attain enlightenment. He only wanted to enjoy himself under his father's protection... But he encountered a drastic change, and even his life as a playboy could no longer be a playboy!"

"Now that my father is missing and his fate remains unknown, it's time for us, his descendants, to shoulder the responsibility of the Zhong family!"

Jing Yu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, you have great ambition! But there's no need to be so impatient."

Zhong Yuanyi thought Jing Yu was mocking him, and his face flushed. "Fellow Daoist, you are a first-class genius. I'm afraid you are laughing at my ambitions. It's just a fantasy."

"That was not what I meant."

Jing Yuyan said, "It's just that... if your father is really a [Zhonghe Dao], then I do know where your father is going."

Zhong Yuanyi said anxiously, "Fellow Daoist Xuan...Xuan Jing, this is no joke! My father is not dead?"

"Not only did he not die, but he turned a disaster into a blessing and achieved the realm of Heavenly Immortal. The Hedao Immortal Master disappeared for a full five hundred years. He reappeared over five hundred years ago and killed his formidable enemy who was in the early stage of Heavenly Immortal. Now he has rebuilt the Zhong family and migrated his entire clan to the [Second Heaven]!"

"what?!"

Zhong Yuanyi was struck by lightning, but the next moment, an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face: "Are you serious, Daoist friend?!"

"What kind of high-ranking figures are Celestial Immortals in the First Heaven? Your father, having just achieved Celestial Immortality, was able to kill a being of the same level. This event shocked the entire First Heaven. From the Mahayana masters to ordinary children, everyone knew about it... Ask anyone and they'll be able to tell you a vivid story."

What Jing Yu said was not false. The story of how [Zhonghe Dao] became a celestial being and killed his enemies had long been known to everyone. After all, it happened only in the last few hundred years. Perhaps in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, this legend would gradually fade away and be replaced by other more shocking news, becoming a new topic of conversation among the cultivators of the first level.

"My...my father has reached the immortal realm?"

Zhong Yuanyi felt a little dizzy for a moment and muttered to himself:

"Am I the son of an immortal?"
