There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 141: Subduing the Immortal Crossing

The flowing light is so clear, as if a bird flying under the moon.

Crafted into a five-word sentence, a clever phrase with a beautiful image.

I am ashamed of its overflowing beauty, far beyond the ordinary.

The new coolness arrives, the emerald bamboo encircles the thatched cottage.

...

Repeating this poem over and over again, the middle-aged man under the candlelight showed a hint of helpless bitterness.

"My child, I named you Liuchè because I wanted you to live a simple life, but who could have expected this?"

"You were deficient in the womb, born with a weak and abnormal soul. Your mother has already abandoned me, I cannot be without you!"

As a father, I had no choice but to take a soul from beyond the heavens to compensate for your weak soul. I only wanted a peaceful life for you."

"But, taking in a soul from beyond the heavens will also gradually erase your memories."

"My child, I am truly afraid, afraid that one day, you will forget about me!"

With these words, the man slowly approached.

His warm large hand gently touched Xia Ming's head.

"Child, this cultivation... you truly cannot pursue it."

"The Immortal Dao strengthens the soul, but your soul has no roots. In the end, it will be the remnants of the soul from beyond the heavens within your body that will grow stronger."

"When that time comes..."

"My child... will you still be Zhao Liuchè?"

With a loud bang, a huge wave surged in Xia Ming's mind.

Zhao Liuchè...

So "I" am really Zhao Liuchè.

The weak-souled Zhao Liuchè insisted on cultivating immortality, but in the end, it was my soul that grew stronger.

Am I the nourishment for his soul?

Zhao Liuchè's soul was erased, so I didn't receive any of his memories.

Could this be the truth of everything?

...

While Xia Ming was silent, the Immortal Crossing outside was bustling.

People came to observe the stele, tracing the past lives. Even the souls of immortals were fascinated, let alone a mere mortal like him.

When Xia Ming's soul was stiff, He Da directly bit onto his soul and plunged into the yellow cloud canopy above his head.

On the vast sky, there stood a magnificent and endless giant gate.

Above the gate, time flowed, sacred and extraordinary.

Inside the gate, a layer of golden ripples slowly spread.

Within the ripples is the ultimate place that countless cultivators dream of.

- The Heaven beyond Heaven.

The Heaven beyond Heaven, the realm of immortals.

Even just smelling a trace of immortal aura inside can extend one's life by decades!

And at this moment...

Crane Da was full of strength, trying to throw Xia Ming into the Tianwai Tian.

But can Crane Da succeed?

Of course not.

Five, six, seven, eight, four immortal cranes directly grabbed Xia Ming's limbs tightly.

[Big brother! What are you doing!]

[Little Liu! Are you defying me? Didn't you say he is a True Immortal? Today, I will send him to Immortal Ascension!]

[But big brother! Someone from the Zhao family has already become an immortal! Zhao Liuche cannot become an immortal!]

[Whether he can or not, we'll find out soon! If he is a True Immortal, he naturally has nothing to fear! Let go quickly!]

While Crane Da was angrily scolding, the four immortal cranes still refused to let go.

Without Zhao Liuche, their world would be so dull and boring!

The hearts of these four immortal cranes had long been stirred.

They could have endured the dull and tasteless life, as long as there was no interesting soul like Xia Ming.

Following Xia Ming, they went to various places, and even witnessed true demon battles.

Isn't this more interesting than the dull life of immortals?

Seeing the four immortal cranes becoming more rebellious, Crane Da couldn't contain his anger.

[I am the leader! How dare you defy me! Let go now!]

Hearing Crane Da's words, five, seven, and eight immediately released their claws.

But Crane Liu still stared at Crane Da stubbornly.

[Leader? We were all hatched from the same egg! You just crawled out first!]

Crane Da was stunned by Crane Liu's words.

[Zhao Liuche is right! I live for myself! Bah! Crane Da! Don't think you can bully me anymore!]

As soon as Crane Liu finished speaking, Xia Ming shouted again.

"Zhao Liuche! Zhao Liuche! It turns out I am Zhao Liuche!"

[Leader! Did you hear that? We also saw the inscription on the stele! Zhao Liuche is fine!]

[If you throw him into Tianwai Tian, he will die!]

After letting go of Xia Ming, Crane Da pounced directly at Crane Liu.

As the wings flapped, feathers flew everywhere.

Meanwhile, Xia Ming slowly stood up, only seeing that fragment of memory.

Perhaps Zhao Liuche had consumed too many other souls, causing his own memories to fade away.

Slowly opening his eyes, Xia Ming saw the chaotic flock of cranes.

The leader and the sixth were fighting, and the others dared not intervene.

Of course, Xia Ming didn't know at this moment.

He was the fuse of this chaos.

Before he could stabilize himself, Xia Ming actually saw Crane Jiu charging towards him.

"Damn!"

"I knew none of the ninth-ranked ones were good!"

Before he could react, Xia Ming's soul was directly knocked out and flew out.

Then, amidst the shocked gazes of the cranes, Xia Ming's entire body smoothly slipped into the Tianwai Tian.

......

The world spins and turns.

In an instant, Xia Ming's pupils suddenly dilate.

Before Xia Ming's eyes, he sees a distorted world.

Above the sky, there is a swirling black vortex.

It... it looks like an eye!

As far as the eye can see, crimson cracks, like spider webs, crawl all over this world.

What makes Xia Ming even more terrified is that in the air, there are floating terrifying corpses.

Those pitiful souls of the dead immortals exude an incredibly terrifying pressure.

Terrifying illusions linger around them.

These illusions distort the void and tear reality.

They are the shadows of the immortals' past, carrying their memories and scattered thoughts.

What makes Xia Ming even more uneasy is that his soul seems to be gradually pulled into that vortex.

Realizing this, Xia Ming becomes restless.

"He Liu! Pull me out!"

"He Liu! He Liu!"

He calls for a long time, but there is still no answer.

Xia Ming, with a sudden change in expression, directly activates the Atun True Spirit blood symbol deep in his soul.

Atun outside dare not delay and quickly feeds Xia Ming's physical body with the Flowing Light.

At the same time, a corpse of an immortal silently floats towards Xia Ming.

In a daze, Xia Ming feels that a magnificent world is rushing towards him.

Once sucked into it, the Myriad Tribulations will truly be gone!

A single thought from an immortal is enough to make Xia Ming sink for a thousand years.

"Atun! Hurry up! Faster!"

Finally, just as Xia Ming is about to come into contact with those grand illusory figures, the effects of the second-generation Blood Pill wear off.

And Xia Ming returns to the real world, taking a deep breath, his heart still trembling, he clenches his fist.

"The... the immortals are all dead!?"

"How is that possible! If the immortals are dead, then who is governing the Immortal Continent?"

Hoo... hoo...

Looking at the trembling Atun in front of him, Xia Ming suddenly shudders.

Right! How could I forget about this!

The Immortal Crossing was fake!

The Immortal Crossing was just an illusion created by Goldfinger.

It is rooted in my fear, my resentment towards Ascension of the soul, so all the immortals in the Immortal Crossing are dead.

Reasonable, reasonable, it's simply reasonable!

Just one thing.

Then who am I? Xia Ming or Zhao Liuche?

Looking at the muttering Xia Ming, Atun's body trembles uncontrollably.

Terrifying. Terrifying.

Is this the price of becoming a true demon?

To even sacrifice oneself?

In the midst of Atun's shock, he unexpectedly sees Xia Ming swallowing another Blood Pill.

At the same time, Xia Ming's voice also faintly comes through.

"Atun, the agreement remains the same."

"As you command, Master."

Under the influence of the pill, Xia Ming returns to the Immortal Crossing.

Xia Ming knows that this time it was He Da and He Jiuyin who tricked him, but for Xia Ming, isn't this also an opportunity to establish his dominance?

"This time, I will completely subdue this group of immortal cranes! Conquer the Illusory Realm of the Immortal Crossing!"

...

Inside the Immortal Crossing, He Da and He Jiuyin are still arguing.

"He Da! He Jiuyin! You two! You two conspired to kill Zhao Liuche!"

"He Jiuyin, didn't you say he had the appearance of a True Immortal? If he is a True Immortal, what are you afraid of?"

As soon as He Jiuyin says this, He Da's eyes suddenly become extremely ferocious.

"He Jiuyin! Zhao Clan already has someone who became an immortal! How can Zhao Liuche become an immortal again! It's you! It's you who harmed him!"

"He Jiuyin! Give me back Zhao Liuche!"

Before the words even finish, He Da pounces towards He Jiuyin.

Just as He Da raises its claws, a call interrupts its movement.

"Little Six! Stop! He Jiuyin also had good intentions."

In the midst of the shocked cranes, Xia Ming slowly approaches.

"True Immortal appearance! True Immortal appearance!"

Upon seeing Xia Ming, He Ba starts cawing.

This time, no crane refutes his words.

"Caw! Zhao Liuche!"

"Quack! Zhao Ge!"

"Zhao True Immortal! Caw!"

...

One crane after another rushes over.

Xia Ming greets them warmly while raising his arms and shouting.

"Let's go, let's watch the Demon Lord's dance together. I, Zhao Liuche, will treat you all!"

"Boss! Little Nine! Let's go together, okay?"

Looking at Xia Ming's smiling face, He Da suddenly thinks of someone.

That person also seemed to enjoy smiling.

In the end, the nine cranes cry out together and enter the true demon's memories.

Sitting on a high seat, guarded by the nine cranes, Xia Ming quietly watches the true demon's battle dance.

This time, he realizes something else.
