Chapter 140 Immortality

"Four Sages..." Jiang Xin suddenly said in a low voice.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but stare at her.

"Ehmmm..." The old man cleared his throat.

"I knew you would ask that," he said.

Qin Yuan looked at him again.

"Basically, becoming an Immortal is only a matter of time for you if you can continue to rob Divinities of up to ten Divinities."

Qin Yuan held his breath when he heard that.

His previous conclusion turned out to be correct.

The old man continued, "However, mere Immortal is not what the four Sages need... Go against Heaven and even an Immortal will surely die.

"In this World, there is only one that Heaven cannot kill so he must expel him from the Universe."

"King of Hell!" The old man's words instantly reminded Qin Yuan of Hei Hou, someone sent by the Hell.

"So you've heard of him?" The old man was slightly surprised.

And then, he looked at Jiang Xin.

"This man is not from the Red Cave Realm, so he should be from one of the realms you are targeting."

Jiang Xin nodded. She looked at Qin Yuan and said, "he should be from that new realm."

"Master, is?" Jiang Xin seemed to have guessed something.

"He knows about the King of Hell, so he might have come into contact with them... Right, young man?" The old man asked Qin Yuan.

Being called young man somehow made Qin Yuan awkward.

Even if he used the point of view of himself as someone from the earth, it still felt awkward because he was used to being at the top.

Qin Yuan hid his feelings, he nodded in response.

Seeing that, Jiang Xin's expression became serious.

"Alright, let's get back to the original topic," the old man continued.

"The King of Hell, despite being one of the strongest Immortals, is still inferior to the four Sages. He became difficult to kill just because he managed to establish his own Realm. It is a Great Realm, huge and endless. -- It could even be said to be a small version of the Universe. Over time, it will continue to expand."

Qin Yuan's eyes widened when he heard that.

At the same time, the old man suddenly picked up the Fruit that was floating above his head.

"This is called Immortality, the source of supreme power," he said.

Qin Yuan stared at the fruit again, something that gave him a boundless sensation.

Perhaps the whole sensation in the Ruins came from that fruit.

"Only if you have Immortality, only then can you be considered an Immortal.

"Various geniuses, in different ways managed to do it in the long river of time. They gained unlimited power.

"Some go so far as to create two Immortalities and even three as the Four Great Sages did."

"However, no matter how limitless their power is, the Universe is still too vast and the Heaven is still stronger...

"The next step is to make this Immortality bloom and grow into a Realm, this is something only the King of Hell has managed to achieve.

"How he did it, only he knows.

"But, the achievement of the King of Hell clearly has a flaw. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been expelled by the Universe.

"Perhaps because of his insufficient foundation, he is unable to completely make the Realm he created as the source of his power. In fact, he has a hard time moving his own Realm from one place to another.

"Many say that he was just lucky and his success was just an accident, something he doesn't know either."

Qin Yuan took a deep breath after hearing the information.

"Later, after much research, the Heavenly Scripture appeared which were believed to be the solution to the problem of the King of Hell.

"The foundation of Immortality built with the way of the Heavenly Scripture is perfect, those of the few who manage to become Immortals in this way can directly fight with Immortals who possess two Immortalities.

"What's even more amazing; their Immortality managed to bloom, something that's basically one step above Immortality in general.

"Unfortunately, while their Immortality managed to bloom, they were unable to make it grow into a Realm like the King of Hell had done."

The old man stopped and took a breath.

"Now, do you understand it?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

"Actually I was wondering how you read the Heavenly Scripture because when I was alive, it was sealed and all records were deleted."

The old man started to narrow his eyes.

Luckily he immediately shook his head.

"Don't worry, I'm just a spirit that will disappear soon, that kind of thing is no longer important to me," he added.

"Are there any other questions?" He then asked.

"Mnmm..." Qin Yuan thought before saying, "what about the Heaven? What exactly is it?"

"Heaven? Well, Xin'er knows that, you can ask her... You can find out what she knows. Things like cultivation you can also ask her."

Hearing that, Qin Yuan looked at Jiang Xin who was just standing still.

After a moment of thought, he asked the old man again.

"Your Excellency, in my Realm, there is also an Immortal, his sect might be called the Heavenly Palace."

"Oh..." The old man's eyes moved upwards.

Jiang Xin also looked at him with a deep gaze.

"That should be the Heavenly Immortal.

"He is quite arrogant, calling himself Heavenly, but he does have the ability, being the one to successfully possess a hundred Saint Fruits and ten Divinities then become an Immortal with all of them."

"Your Excellency, how many actually managed to use this path?" Qin Yuan was somewhat curious about it.

Don't think that it looks easy, but it's actually very difficult.

An Ancestor Saint had to rob Divinity while a Divine Emperor had to create Saint Fruits.

Qin Yuan was able to withstand the Heaven Strike because of his Immortal Diamond Body, but what about the others.

It must be known that many Divine Emperors died for robbing Divinity.

And the Heaven Strike that strike when one uses the path of the Heavenly Scripture is far more formidable.

Even though that Heavenly Immortal said that Heaven Strike would not be an exaggeration which might not be absolute in killing, most people still died in the end.

It's like a mortal having to face a Tiger.

Many ways to survive, but most still can not survive.

"Hehe..." The old man laughed.

"Your body is as hard as steel, even Xin'er may only be able to scratch your skin, she must try hard to tear your skin, why are you worried about this," he said.

What he said shocked Jiang Xin and Qin Yuan.

The former was probably surprised because she had to go to great lengths to tear Qin Yuan's skin.

And Qin Yuan was shocked by the fact that she had the power to tear his skin.

Then how strong is she really?

Perhaps stronger than the existence that had thrown the spear at him at that time.

"Well, since you asked, I will naturally answer," the old man added.

Qin Yuan who was looking at Jiang Xin looked at him again.

"As far as I know, only four have achieved that, so you can be proud if you manage to become one of them... Before that Heavenly Scripture was sealed by the Heaven, there were tens of thousands of people who held it only to fail and die."

"Only four?" It was quite surprising for Qin Yuan because he never thought that they turned out to be so few.

"Four is enough to make the Heaven panic," the old man replied.

Maybe the old man's time is running out soon.

At this moment, his body started to crack little by little.

He then looked at Jiang Xin.

"What about that place, was there any movement from them?" he asked.

Hearing that, Qin Yuan immediately put on a serious expression as this was probably related to the place that Jiang Xin had appointed.

The latter took a deep breath before replying, "they're still calm, that person is probably still asleep."

"I did manage to damage his cultivation foundation back then, but time will still heal it... Are you ready when that happens?" The old man looked directly into Jiang Xin's eyes.

Jiang Xin didn't seem to have an answer.

Phew!

The old man sighed before looking at Qin Yuan.

"It's unknown how it will be in the future, but allying with him is indeed a good choice."

He looked at Jiang Xin again before continuing, "You have always been the wisest of all my disciples."

Jiang Xin smiled slightly, something Qin Yuan had never seen. It seemed that she enjoyed being praised by her master.

"However, I don't think alliances are enough," said the old man again.

"What?" Qin Yuan was taken aback by his words.

There didn't seem to be anything strange about his words, but Qin Yuan who sometimes thought flirtatically couldn't help but think strange.

He glanced at Jiang Xin. The woman looked nervous.

The old man didn't seem to care about her nervousness, he continued, "Xin'er, I'm not sure how old you are now, but I hope you're not alone forever."

He stopped and looked at Qin Yuan.

"What do you think of this man? I can confirm that even in the Heaven, it is difficult to find one as handsome as him."

Qin Yuan, "..."
