Chapter 333: The Great Jing Immortal Dynasty (Part Twenty-One)

At this very moment,
the dark clouds dispersed, and a supreme sun slowly rose.
Su Chen saw the destinies of all living beings unfold before his eyes.
Past and future were all laid bare before him.
"So...this is immortality."
Under the blazing sun, a light drizzle fell within the Great Jing Dynasty, the rain gathering and spreading across the heavens.
The rain cured illness, nurtured all things, and awakened wisdom in all beings.
"Our Emperor is immortal!"
Voices of praise echoed from world to world.
Humanity had finally produced its first True Immortal!
Boundless light swirled around Su Chen.
A broken sword emitted a humming sound.
It vaguely transformed into a man in a blue robe, his features indistinct, shrouded in mist.
The man bowed respectfully to the newly ascended True Immortal.
"Master, your disciple is far away in the Void Sea and cannot come. I can only offer my assistance with a sword to congratulate you on your ascension to the Immortal Path."
Su Chen looked at the man shrouded in mist, feeling both gratified and melancholy.
He had placed his hopes for confronting the Burial True Immortal Lord on this disciple.
Dongfang Yunxing did not disappoint him.
Watching the blue-robed projection gradually dissipate.
"Thank you."
As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Yunxing suddenly left a sentence in the heavens and earth:
"Master...we will meet again."
Su Chen nodded and smiled: "That day is not far off."
The sword light dissipated, turning into scattered stars.
This brief exchange shocked the surrounding immortals, and some who harbored different thoughts suppressed their desires at this moment.
The extraterrestrial True Immortal who had offered assistance actually addressed this newly ascended True Immortal as Master?
They knew very well that the extraterrestrial True Immortal had actually been able to cross Immortal Realms to intervene and severely injure the Burial True Immortal Lord!
The Burial True Immortal Lord was no ordinary newly ascended True Immortal.
To be able to cross the Immortal Realm and severely injure the Burial True Immortal Lord, one must have already progressed extremely far within the True Immortal realm.
And yet, such an existence actually addressed a newly ascended True Immortal as Master?
What kind of being could possibly teach such a powerful True Immortal?
An absurd thought arose in the minds of the immortals.
This thought, however, seemed perfectly reasonable to them.
"Could this be an ancient True Immortal reincarnated and cultivating anew?"
In the Immortal Realm, there were many True Immortals with the courage to reincarnate time and again in pursuit of the Immortal King path, all to forge another path to immortality.
However, most of them failed, even losing their true selves in each reincarnation.
Those who successfully traversed the second path were extremely rare...
They even suspected that this newly ascended True Immortal might be far more than just having traversed the second path.
Once this thought took root, no one dared to underestimate Su Chen, this newly ascended True Immortal.
"The Burial Immortal Lord's death was not unjust... but I fear that even his return this time will be difficult, unless he can find another path to immortality."
The True Immortal who was on good terms with the Burial Immortal Lord silently mourned for his friend.
True Immortals are difficult to kill completely.
However, being targeted by such a cunning and powerful True Immortal, returning is likely a pipe dream.
Who could have imagined that there would be an old monster who had successfully reincarnated and cultivated again within the Heavenly Gang Immortal Realm?
Su Chen was unaware that many True Immortals in the Heavenly Gang Immortal Realm already regarded him as an old monster who had reincarnated and cultivated again.
Su Chen was puzzled. The True Immortals lurking within those strange spaces had initially shown him a mixture of friendliness, resentment, and unfamiliarity.
Now, only apprehension remained.
Perhaps they had misunderstood something, which left Su Chen both amused and exasperated. His initial desire to find a fellow cultivator to learn about the secrets of the Heavenly Gang Immortal Realm gradually faded. It was fine if he considered him an old monster reincarnated and cultivating again; at least it would save him a lot of trouble.
As for the secrets of becoming an immortal in the Heavenly Gang Immortal Realm, he had plenty of time.
Su Chen returned to the Great Jing Heavenly Dynasty.
The Great Jing Heavenly Dynasty should be called the Great Jing Immortal Dynasty.
“You’re back?”
Nan Hongsang chuckled softly.
Her noble and magnificent feathered robes added a touch of glamour and captivating charm.
“I’m back.”
Su Chen sighed softly.
Over the years, he had deceived too many people.
He had even deceived himself, all to gamble for a sliver of life from the Burial True Immortal Lord.
The two exchanged a smile. The red-tasseled spear twitched, and the True Immortal played the zither, the music harmonizing and transforming into a sky full of radiant light.
...
Thousands upon thousands of years passed.
After Su Chen became an immortal, he began to slowly understand the deeper secrets of the Heavenly Gang Immortal Realm.
The Heavenly Gang Immortal Realm was created by a powerful being known as the Heavenly Gang Immortal King. Countless epochs have passed, and no True Immortal knows how long it has existed, because the oldest True Immortals have fallen into a state of self-loss.
True Immortals are immortal and indestructible. Even the boundless territory, the countless beings and races of the Heavenly Gang Immortal Realm, are utterly powerless against a True Immortal without their backing. If Su Chen hadn't borrowed a sword from Dongfang Yunxing and orchestrated everything, it would have only added to the burden of the Burial True Immortal Lord.
Because True Immortals are immortal, as long as they don't act recklessly or provoke enemies of equal or greater power, they will not die... Even in the darkest of times, they merely perish, and will eventually return.
However, precisely because of this immortality, some True Immortals have grown weary, choosing to fall into a state of self-loss, relinquishing their immortal positions, and plunging into eternal silence, never to return. For True Immortals, this eternal silence is true 'death.' The oldest group of True Immortals, having long lost all interest in everything, chose to abandon their immortal positions and fall into self-loss.
A very small number chose to take a gamble, escaping into the cycle of reincarnation, seeking alternative paths and the opportunity to become Immortal Kings.
The final result:
They too fell into a state of self-loss in countless reincarnations, unable to find their way back.
Immortals and those below the immortal level are completely different beings.
The Immortal King of the Heavenly Gang Immortal Realm has not appeared for too long; perhaps he too has fallen into a state of self-loss.
Of the three thousand immortal realms, how many exist in name only?
Su Chen remained leisurely.
Being tired of living was too far removed from his reality.
"Something interesting has happened."
Su Chen's gaze deepened as he looked towards a certain spot.
