Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

Gu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief.

Ji Wenxiang is really something, actually using this to test him!

Is he really someone who can withstand such a test?

If it weren't for the rewards from the system, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the test.

Li Pan'er--

Indeed, she's amazing!

"Why were you able to resist?" Ji Wenxiang asked, puzzled.

With such a stunning beauty in front of him, he was actually able to resist?

This Gu Changsheng--

Could it be that he can't do it?

And it's someone he's familiar with, how can he resist?

Is this kid abstaining from lust?

Gu Changsheng said with righteousness, "I only believe in mutual affection before engaging in such matters. Li Pan'er and I haven't reached that level, so how can I take advantage of her! Although I can't say I'm completely devoted, I am not that kind of lustful person!"

"Alright, alright." Ji Wenxiang was very satisfied with Gu Changsheng's character.

She was a Gold Core stage cultivator, even though she was already dead, the illusion she created just now would not have any flaws for Qi Refining stage cultivators.

If Gu Changsheng was able to pass the test, then his character must be absolutely upright.

Seeing a beauty that doesn't belong to him, he can definitely refuse!

Such a person can take away her opportunity.

She didn't want to wait anymore.

If she waited another eighty years, her bones would have decayed...

"Gu Changsheng, you have passed my test," Ji Wenxiang grinned with an empty mouth.

Gu Changsheng was overjoyed, "Thank you for valuing me, senior!"

A Gold Core stage cultivator, in their Wu country, was already an absolute overlord.

Even the powerful Azure Mountain Sect only had cultivators at the Gold Core stage.

He was about to obtain her inheritance, and moreover, someone like Ji Wenxiang, who was undoubtedly a genius, must have many good things on her.

Before she fell, she even obtained an opportunity from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, which was--

Double happiness!

Gu Changsheng had already started to imagine himself being crushed by various resources.

"Senior, what is your greatest inheritance?" Gu Changsheng eagerly rubbed his hands.

Ji Wenxiang pointed at herself, "Me."

Gu Changsheng: ???

No problem.

Ji Wenxiang's greatest inheritance must be herself, no problem.

With her, techniques, resources, wouldn't they all be readily available?

"That is inevitable. Senior, you are the greatest treasure in this world, the true priceless treasure!" Gu Changsheng flattered.

As someone who had lived for hundreds of years, Ji Wenxiang was also very happy to hear Gu Changsheng's flattery.

This guy, saying such big truths!

"Alright, I won't joke with you anymore." Ji Wenxiang's expression became serious.

"Become my disciple."

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Gu Changsheng didn't hesitate at all, he knelt down and knocked his head three times on the ground.

"Master, I, Gu Changsheng, am willing to become your disciple. I hope Master agrees! From the day I become your disciple, I will be your disciple for life! Master's matters are my matters, even if I have to go through fire and water, I will not hesitate to die!!!"

Then, Gu Changsheng took out a huge red envelope and handed it over, "This is a small token of my appreciation, Master!"

Ji Wenxiang opened her mouth, looking a bit stunned.

This guy--why doesn't he have any face at all!

This set of actions is too smooth!

Kneeling down to pay respects to the master and offering gifts...

It can only be said that he understands the etiquette of becoming a disciple...

Very good, she likes this kind of person!

"Alright, alright, Changsheng, from now on, you are Ji Wenxiang's disciple. In my life, you are my only disciple!" Ji Wenxiang happily pulled Gu Changsheng up, "You don't need to give me the red envelope anymore. Since you have become my disciple, it is my duty to give you things."

Ji Wenxiang waved her hand, "Here, take this!"

In front of Gu Changsheng's eyes, several dozen pieces of low-grade spirit stones appeared.

Gu Changsheng: ???

He even felt like he might have seen it wrong.

Low-grade spirit stones?

Can't Gold Core stage cultivators use high-grade spirit stones?

Even if it's low-grade spirit stones, why are there only a few dozen? This is too shabby!

This master--why does she seem unreliable!

Facing Gu Changsheng's strange gaze, Ji Wenxiang coughed, "Changsheng, it's like this. In that battle, my storage ring was shattered, and everything on me--everything fell out. So, I only have one storage bag from my Qi Refining stage."

Gu Changsheng understood.

He understood why Ji Wenxiang said her greatest inheritance was herself.

It turns out--

She doesn't have anything good on her at all!

"It's alright." Gu Changsheng immediately said indifferently, "As long as it's given by Master, I am already very happy! Thank you, Master!"

Gu Changsheng was 'moved' and accepted the spiritual stone.

The gratitude in his eyes was about to overflow.

Ji Wenxiang felt a little embarrassed by this gaze.

"Although I have no resources on me anymore, my disciple, don't panic, for I am your greatest opportunity!" Ji Wenxiang said confidently, "My disciple, I assume the cultivation technique you practice is just an ordinary Qi Refining technique, right? Come, practice the exclusive technique of the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty, 'Heavenly Ji Record'! It is a sixth-grade Immortal Law, considered one of the best techniques in the entire Great Ji Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng's expression became somewhat strange.

"Master, disciple... has a better technique."

"Huh?" Ji Wenxiang was confused, she even felt like she misheard.

"Disciple, do you know what I'm talking about?"

"I do," Gu Changsheng nodded.

"The technique I practice is a sixth-grade Immortal Law, and it's even a top-grade one! It's considered a good technique in the entire Eastern Continent. How can the technique you practice be better than mine? Here, this is the mantra, start practicing, I'll watch over you. With me here, there won't be any mistakes in changing techniques."

Ji Wenxiang felt that Gu Changsheng, as a cultivator, didn't understand the intricacies of techniques and patiently explained.

She came from one of the strongest forces in the Eastern Continent, the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty, while Gu Changsheng, on the other hand, was just a subsidiary state within the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty. The difference between them was too great.

What powerful techniques could he have access to?

Gu Changsheng helplessly said, "But the technique I practice... is really better than yours."

"In that case, you can try my technique first. When practicing techniques, as long as you encounter a better one, you will automatically choose to practice a higher-level technique," Ji Wenxiang said with a smile, not getting angry.

She still quite liked this disciple of hers, how could she get angry over such a small matter?

He came from a small place, so it was normal for his vision to be narrower.

Gu Changsheng nodded, "Alright."

Soon, he began practicing the technique given by Ji Wenxiang.

But...

He didn't absorb any spiritual energy.

"How, how is this possible..." Ji Wenxiang was dumbfounded.

She could tell at a glance...

The technique Gu Changsheng practiced was really stronger than hers!

But how was this possible?

She practiced one of the foundational techniques of the Great Ji Dynasty, how could it be inferior to the technique of a cultivator from a remote country?

Moreover, if Gu Changsheng had such a powerful technique, how could he only be at the third level of Qi Refining at his age, with the talent of having a top-grade spiritual root? He should have reached the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining!

"This is a small opportunity for my disciple. It's a damaged seventh-grade technique," Gu Changsheng casually said.

"A damaged technique?" Ji Wenxiang nodded slightly, "It doesn't matter if it's damaged. When you reach Foundation Building, I will give you a Foundation Building technique."

"Thank you, Master!" Gu Changsheng expressed his gratitude.

Ji Wenxiang looked at Gu Changsheng and fell into deep thought.

She--

What else can she give him...

She has exhausted her resources, and her cultivation techniques are not as good as Gu Changsheng's. Other skills like alchemy and magic techniques--

They seem somewhat useless.

One reason is that Gu Changsheng lacks talent in alchemy, and the other reason is that those magic techniques... are too powerful for Gu Changsheng...

As for weaker magic techniques-- she has forgotten about them and needs some time to think.

For a moment, Ji Wenxiang couldn't think of anything good to give Gu Changsheng.

It makes her seem useless as a master!

Especially when she sees Gu Changsheng's eager eyes, she feels even more useless.

"I've got it!"

Suddenly, Ji Wenxiang exclaimed.

"Disciple, do you know why I can still talk to you like this?"

"Because you-- are still alive?" Gu Changsheng asked curiously.

"Look at me like this, can I still be alive..." Ji Wenxiang helplessly pointed to her skeletal body.

"At that time, after being seriously injured, I came here. I thought I was going to die. At that time, I had already left behind the inherited cultivation techniques, some magic techniques, and alchemy skills. But I didn't expect that after my physical body died, my soul did not perish! I am not a Nascent Soul cultivator like them, my physical body was not destroyed, so I could survive with my Nascent Soul."

Ji Wenxiang suddenly raised a ring in her hand.

"And this is the reason why I can still live!"

It was a black copper ring, emitting an extremely ancient aura. There was a faintly carved 'soul' character on it, but the ring was broken in some places, unable to form a complete loop. Some parts were large, while others were small.

This ring is incomplete.

[Soul Ring (Incomplete): Fifth-grade top-tier (originally seventh-grade top-tier)

Introduction: Once the life treasure of an Empty Void cultivator, it is a treasure of the soul. Its effect is not bad, but unfortunately, it was destroyed in a great battle and dropped from seventh-grade top-tier to fifth-grade top-tier, losing most of its effect. However, it can store souls or awaken souls.]

Gu Changsheng was shocked.

This thing was originally a seventh-grade treasure?

That is something only an Empty Void cultivator can use!

Empty Void... It is rumored to be an absolute powerhouse, capable of wiping out a whole country with a wave of their hand, with a lifespan close to ten thousand years!

No wonder Ji Wenxiang, a Gold Core stage cultivator, didn't lose her soul even after death. It turns out it's because of this thing!

"This is the only thing I obtained from the mansion of that Nascent Soul cultivator. However, I haven't examined it carefully and was attacked. But after I died, I found that although my physical body was gone, a strand of my soul was born and stored in it. So, as you can see, I can still move now. It's not that I am still alive, it's that my soul is still alive."

Ji Wenxiang explained.

"As I stayed in it for eighty years, I roughly understood some of the functions of this treasure. First of all, it can help ordinary cultivators give birth to their own souls. Do you understand what a soul is? It is a cultivation path similar to cultivation and body refining! There have been people who didn't cultivate spiritual energy or body refining, but only cultivated their souls, and they still became true immortals!"

Gu Changsheng also had some understanding of the soul path.

The path of the soul is mysterious, but also simple. The principle is to cultivate one's own soul and continuously strengthen it. Soul Refining cultivators can fight without using their hands, they only need to use their souls to kill enemies thousands of miles away.

When cultivated to a powerful level, a single thought can cause the heavens and earth to collapse!

It is also a very powerful cultivation path.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to get started and find a way to get started.

The method of cultivating the divine soul is even harder to find than the Body Refining method!

But now, it's being delivered to him!

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt the feeling of those protagonists getting lucky after jumping off the cliff.

Golden thread--

Thank you!

"But cultivating the divine soul is still too difficult. I have been practicing for decades and only reached the ninth level of soul cultivation," Ji Xiangshang shook her head.

Cultivating the soul is difficult, but more importantly, her soul is only a trace. If she had a complete physical body to cultivate, she would have already broken through to the state of stabilizing the mind or leaving the body!

"Come, disciple, try cultivating the divine soul. Don't worry about the difficulty of getting started, I'm here!" Ji Xiangshang said confidently.

She felt that relying solely on Gu Changsheng himself, it would require a lot of effort and might be difficult to succeed in cultivating the divine soul.

It doesn't matter, she will help!

She didn't cultivate her divine soul for decades in vain. Helping Gu Changsheng get started is a simple matter!

"Thank you, Master!" Gu Changsheng was overjoyed.

If he succeeded in cultivating the divine soul, he would have another path to follow!

Cultivation, Body Refining, and the divine soul, the three paths combined, cross-level battles would no longer be a problem!

The cultivation world's version of Xiao Huohuo!

"Come." Ji Xiangshang placed the soul ring in front of Gu Changsheng. "Disciple, relax your mind and feel it with your heart. When you feel your own soul, you will comprehend the path of cultivating the divine soul."

"This step is still difficult, but it's okay, even if you can't get started in a short time, I'm here!"

"I will help!"

"Thank you, Master!" Gu Changsheng expressed his gratitude.

Then, taking a deep breath, he looked at the soul ring and closed his eyes.

Immediately, he felt the soul ring being placed on his forehead by Ji Xiangshang.

A mysterious power began to spread in his mind.

Gu Changsheng relaxed completely, letting go of everything, imagining himself in a sea of clouds, and suddenly--

He felt a shout coming from his mind.

Following that shout, he arrived at an extremely magical place in an instant.

This place was like a vast sea, with an endless liquid, but all of that liquid was a pale golden color.

As he had a slight thought, the pale golden liquid moved, sometimes like a river flowing upstream, sometimes like golden dragons leaping out of the water.

He seemed to be the master of these pale golden liquids!

These were--

His sea of souls!

"I don't know how long it will take for the disciple to feel his own soul. It took me a full seven days to reach this step, and that's because I'm a rare genius. For someone like the disciple, it would take at least several months. But it's okay, I'm here, I'll help you achieve it in half a day--"

Ji Wenxiang wondered to herself.

Suddenly, she felt a strange power bursting forth from Gu Changsheng's mind.

She knew that this was a sign of his soul stirring in the sea.

"Huh? Is this enough?" Ji Wenxiang was stunned, her mouth wide open as if she could swallow a person whole.

It took her seven days to sense her soul.

And the result--

Her disciple only took a few minutes?

Her, the master--was actually inferior to her own disciple!

Ji Wenxiang was deeply struck.

Gu Changsheng opened his eyes, "Master, I felt it!"

Gu Changsheng knew he wasn't a genius, but he was able to sense the soul sea so quickly because he had two souls!

Naturally, his soul was stronger.

Ji Wenxiang was filled with mixed emotions at this moment. She was excited for her disciple, but also somewhat defeated. "I know, congratulations, my disciple, you are truly a genius in cultivating the soul!"

"Not really," Gu Changsheng humbly said, "Compared to you, Master, I still have a long way to go."

Ji Wenxiang didn't know how to respond.

"Forget about that, since you have sensed your soul sea, let's move on to the next step! Soul cultivation!"

"Knowing your soul sea, operating these soul cultivation techniques, refining the purest soul from within the soul sea, and forming your own soul. This represents your entry into the first level of soul cultivation. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Ji Wenxiang imparted the soul cultivation techniques from the soul ring to him.

Gu Changsheng recited them a few times and memorized the techniques.

"Are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

"Let's begin, I will assist you."

Gu Changsheng closed his eyes.

As he immersed himself, he once again felt his own soul sea.

Reciting the soul cultivation techniques, he controlled the entire view of the soul sea within his own vision.

"Rise!"

Gu Changsheng's expression was determined. He seemed to be the ruler of this space, his words followed by actions. Faint golden breaths emerged from within the pale golden soul sea.

"Condense!"

Gu Changsheng continued to operate the techniques, and those faint golden breaths gathered from all directions, finally converging in one place.

The breaths grew larger, and the pale golden breaths began to transform into substantial breaths.

Slowly, the golden breaths began to condense, gathering together, almost forming a vast field.

Gu Changsheng felt a power that he had never experienced before!

His head was a little dizzy, but an endless sense of refreshment came over him.

His head itched, as if his brain was about to grow!

Suddenly!

Those faint golden breaths reached a critical point, and then, as the faint golden breaths continued to merge, with a "boom," those breaths exploded. This was not a failure in soul cultivation, but rather... success in soul cultivation!

Above his sea of ​​soul, a large area of ​​huge golden breaths appeared!

That is...

Divine Soul!!!

Gu Changsheng was overjoyed, Soul Cultivation Level One...

Success!!!

"So, I'm about to step into Soul Cultivation?" Ji Xiang asked in disbelief.

She could also sense the situation in Gu Changsheng's mind.

It took her 30 years to step into Soul Cultivation.

But Gu Changsheng only took... thirty minutes!

Suddenly, Ji Xiang had the thought that her master was useless...

In fact, it seemed to be true. She couldn't give Gu Changsheng any cultivation techniques, nor could she provide him with resources...

She seemed like a fake master...

"What? Are you still continuing?"

Yes, when Gu Changsheng broke through to Soul Cultivation Level One, he did not stop. He felt that there was still a continuous flow of breath in his soul, so he continued to condense the breath of the divine soul.

The faint golden breaths in his sea of ​​soul were continuously refined by him, turning into substantial breaths, gathering above and merging into the divine soul.

The domain of the divine soul continued to expand, getting bigger and bigger, soon it would change from the size of an acre of land to the size of two acres of land.

But at this critical moment, the breath in his sea of ​​soul was not enough!

"This..." Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth.

This was a crucial moment to break through to Soul Cultivation Level Two. How could he just stagnate like this?

But the fact was, he wanted to cultivate, but he also needed something to cultivate with.

He had just awakened his divine soul, and there was still very little breath in his sea of ​​soul. It needed some time to brew.

"It's okay, I will help!"

A thunder-like voice exploded in Gu Changsheng's mind.

"Master!" Gu Changsheng was overjoyed.

"Disciple, let me help you step into Soul Cultivation Level Two!"

Boom!!!

As Ji Xiang's voice sounded, Gu Changsheng felt the faint golden breaths in his sea of ​​soul start to emerge again.

Gu Changsheng was overjoyed and quickly continued to condense the divine soul!

Outside, Ji Xiang displayed her entire divine soul and injected it into Gu Changsheng's mind.

As she continuously injected her divine soul, Ji Xiang's skeletal body became somewhat unstable.

"Darn it... Does it consume so much?" Ji Xiang frowned, but then realized she didn't have eyebrows.

"No, this is the only thing I can do as a master. I must hold on!"

Ji Xiang never expected that helping others would consume so much of herself. Of course, it was also because she only had a few strands of soul.

"It's about to happen!"

As the divine soul continued to expand, the divine soul above his sea of ​​soul immediately reached a critical point!

"It's done!!!"

With the last divine soul condensed, his divine soul also reached the size of two acres of land.

Soul Cultivation Level Two... achieved!

Gu Changsheng opened his eyes with joy.

But what happened in front of him made Gu Changsheng furious.

Ji Xiang's skeleton had turned into white powder, and the soul ring fell to the ground.

There was no trace of her soul left.

"Could it be..."

Gu Changsheng picked up the soul ring, but there was no response inside.

It seemed that Ji Xiang had sacrificed her entire soul to help him.

So...

It seemed like she really was gone!

"Master!!!" Gu Changsheng shouted in grief.

Although he had only been Ji Xiang's disciple for a moment, he really regarded her as his master.

After all...

Although she didn't provide much help, she still provided some.

Seeing his master completely fall in front of him, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Disciple, don't be so sad. If you don't know, you would think I'm dead..." Suddenly, Ji Xiang's voice continued to sound, her voice sounding very weak. "I'm not dead, my soul power has just temporarily dissipated, so I can't come out. Practice well and find some Nurturing Spirit herbs for me, then I can come out again."

"Keep going!"

Gu Changsheng: ???

What the hell!

Didn't Ji Xiang die?

How can she still be like this?

Wasn't he grieving for nothing???

Damn it, give me back my emotions!

But Gu Changsheng's eyes were full of smiles.

"Master, thank you!"
