Everyone Is Cultivating Supernatural Powers, Why Am I The Only One Cultivating Immortality?

Recalling the tragic scene of his parents being taken away just now, Jiang Li no longer hesitated and opened the ancient Immortal Ascension scripture in his hand.

As he turned the pages, an endless burst of golden light erupted from the scripture. Within the golden light, Jiang Li saw a primeval world he had never seen before.

In that world, a five-clawed golden dragon crossed the Tenth Layer of the heavens, a Vermilion Bird flew across billions of miles of void, and a Roc ascended ninety thousand miles.

Countless mythical creatures exuded a terrifying aura that could destroy the heavens and the earth. Any one of them coming to the present world would be an unimaginable disaster.

In the center of that world, a verdant ancient tree stood quietly, seeming out of place amidst the bustling world. The branches of the ancient tree swayed gently in the wind.

Beneath the tree, a figure in white sat cross-legged like an exiled immortal, gently caressing the long sword in their arms, with a calm and serene gaze.

As if noticing Jiang Li's gaze, the figure in white slowly raised their head, lips moving, and a ethereal voice echoing through the heavens and the earth.

"You, have finally come."

Upon hearing these words, a sudden and inexplicable sense of immense sorrow surged in Jiang Li's heart.

It was a kind of emptiness and loneliness that could not be alleviated even with tears shed over countless ages.

Jiang Li, as if completely out of control, subconsciously replied to the figure:

"I have kept you waiting. From now on, leave it to me."

The figure in white smiled at the words, a smile that seemed to freeze the entire world.

The ancient dragon ceased its roar, the divine bird ceased its cry, even the wind ceased to blow. All things were entranced by this smile, and Jiang Li found himself somewhat mesmerized.

She shook her head slowly.

"You are not him."

The figure in white's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence.

"But, you are very much like him."

"So, I am willing to believe in you."

As the words fell, the figure of the exiled immortal seemed to have completed her final task. Her body slowly faded, and along with the world she was in, gradually disappeared from Jiang Li's sight.

As the golden light vanished, Jiang Li's gaze remained vacant, still immersed in the scene from just now.

What was that? A scene that had once appeared in the river of history?

Why could he converse with the other party?

Was it through the Immortal Ascension scripture that they had a remote conversation?

Countless questions swirled in Jiang Li's mind.

[Ding, the host has been lured by a despicable person. The system suggests that the host should focus on practicing the Immortal Ascension scripture and not waste precious time because of a despicable person.]

Jiang Li: "???"

"Despicable... person?"

[Ding, please make good use of your time.]

"System, can you explain to me why you're calling her a despicable person? Do you know her??"

[Ding, please make good use of your time.]

"System, you..."

[Ding, please make good use of your time.]

Seeing that the system was unwilling to explain, Jiang Li temporarily gave up on questioning the figure of the exiled immortal in white, and focused on what he should do next.

At this point, Jiang Li realized that the thick Immortal Ascension scripture in his hand had long disappeared, and his mind had gained many memories that did not originally belong to him.

These memories covered the complete method of practicing the Immortal Ascension scripture, the combat skills corresponding to each realm, and insights into the techniques of cultivation.

"So precious..."

Jiang Li couldn't help but marvel. These memories provided him with a lot of foundational knowledge of cultivating immortality, and also made him realize how precious this scripture was.

The system was right, demigods were nothing! As long as he was given time, killing a demigod would be as easy as killing a chicken!

Returning to his room, under the moonlight, Jiang Li's sister Jiang Linger's breathing gradually calmed down. Jiang Li touched his sister's head with a heartache.

"Trust me, I will bring Mom and Dad back soon."

Sitting by his sister's bed, Jiang Li closed his eyes, breathing according to a certain rhythm.

At first, Jiang Li was somewhat unskilled, often choking on his breath halfway through and coughing violently.

As time passed, Jiang Li's breathing became more and more steady, gradually entering a state of meditation.

In this meditative state, Jiang Li felt the faint spiritual energy permeating the air entering his body with each breath, and then guiding it to circulate within his body along a fixed path.

The moment his body first came into contact with spiritual energy, it boiled!

His skin, flesh, bones greedily and urgently absorbed the spiritual energy, widening his meridians, strengthening his bones, and infusing unprecedented energy into his flesh. Even his genes quietly underwent changes as the spiritual energy circulated within his body.

So comfortable!

Jiang Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He keenly felt himself growing stronger, his body becoming more powerful every second, and his heart beating as forcefully as a war drum under the drive of his blood.

There were several reasons for such a significant effect.

Firstly, this was Jiang Li's first cultivation, and his body was experiencing the baptism of spiritual energy for the first time, like a sponge encountering water for the first time after being dry for a hundred years, resulting in an extremely intense evolution.

Secondly, the Immortal Ascension scripture was extremely profound, capable of maximizing the transformation of the human body using spiritual energy.

Jiang Li also had a feeling that this cultivation method seemed to have been tailor-made for him. Every circulation, every small detail, could maximize the benefits for his body.

It was unlikely for anyone else to achieve the same effect as him.

Time passed...

In the early morning, the sky began to brighten.

After completing another cycle of cultivation, Jiang Li opened his eyes.

"In one night, one-third of my body has undergone transformation. I wonder if that's considered fast or slow?"

Feeling the surging power throughout his body, Jiang Li's heart swelled with pride.

[Ding, in response to the host, the genius of the Immortal World can typically reach the Qi Refining Late Stage directly after their first cultivation. There is a certain gap between the host's talent and true genius, and I hope the host will be self-aware.]

"Do you have to be so discouraging?"

Jiang Li scratched his head. Since yesterday, the system's tone had not been very good, especially when it mentioned that unforgettable figure in white.

[Ding, it's not to discourage the host, but to help the host better understand himself.]

[Ding, however, the host should not be disheartened. The host's talent in this world is undoubtedly outstanding, and I hope the host will continue to work hard.]

"I am indeed quite good." Jiang Li laughed.

"No wonder you chose me as the host."

[Ding, the system's choice of the host is not based on talent, but on asdjkalsadasdnajd, so sadadjaksdcsad. Then sadasdjhasdh.]

The system seemed to suddenly be affected by an unknown interference, and its voice became muffled and difficult to understand at crucial points, leaving Jiang Li puzzled.

Jiang Li's voice at this moment disturbed his long-dormant sister, Jiang Linger.

She opened her drowsy eyes and slowly sat up, saying, "I feel so dizzy. Huh? Why is my brother in my room? Did I fall asleep while watching TV last night?"

Jiang Li, with a serious expression, recounted to his sister everything that had happened last night.

He chose to conceal the matter about the system, not out of distrust for his sister. If such a thing were accidentally leaked, it would not be a problem if others didn't believe it, but if they did and harbored ill intentions, their situation would be extremely dangerous!

After listening, Jiang Linger fell into silence, evidently recalling the scene from last night when she went to open the door.

"Brother, let's report to the Public Security Bureau."

Jiang Li nodded, but he didn't hold out much hope in his heart.

His parents had not mentioned the Public Security Bureau at all before leaving last night, most likely because even if they went, it would not be effective.

The background of the other party must be extremely intimidating!

"You were attacked last night. Stay at home and rest well today. I will go to the Public Security Bureau. If there's any situation, call me immediately."

After that, Jiang Li left the house and went to the Public Security Bureau to report the events of last night. By the time the filing was completed, it was already broad daylight.

"It's time to go to school."

Looking at the increasingly crowded streets, Jiang Li's expression was absent-minded. The day before, he was worried about not having any special abilities, but now it didn't matter to him at all.

Special abilities? He didn't care.
