Chapter 320 ·I Ascended to Follow You

My name is Xia Xiaohun, an Immortal who had just ascended from the lower realm.

Thinking about how an exceptional Three-Spiritual-Root cultivator like him had been able to ascend and become an Immortal, he had already considered himself extremely fortunate.

At least, that was how Xia Xiaohun himself saw it. If he had not been extraordinarily lucky, he truly would not have been able to ascend.

It had taken him twenty years just to reach Foundation Establishment. At that time, he had already thought that reaching the Golden Core Realm was hopeless. He was immediately sent out by his sect to become a stationed cultivator somewhere outside, merely waiting around to eat and die. Since he was a disciple who had been abandoned, the place he was sent to was also remote, a place where there was not much profit to be gained.

At that time, Xia Xiaohun had never expected that right after he left, his sect would be destroyed.

It seemed that from that moment onward, his fortune had changed.

He originally thought that reaching the Golden Core Realm was impossible, yet he never expected that in that desolate place where he had been sent, there would be a secret realm. Within it, he had actually found the External Core Method.

The moment he exited the secret realm, he encountered someone killing others and seizing treasures. In the end, both sides perished, and Xia Xiaohun could only accept the spoils.

Afterward, relying on this strange luck, either he would encounter others killing each other for treasures and pick up some benefits, or whenever he went somewhere, a secret realm would always appear.

After the accumulation of all kinds of circumstances, Xia Xiaohun never expected that he would successfully ascend at the age of three thousand.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, Xia Xiaohun felt that this so-called Immortal Realm was actually quite similar to the Cultivation Realm. It was merely that the realms had become higher.

The so-called Immortals were still the same as cultivators. They had clearly comprehended themselves and achieved the status of Immortals, yet they were still bound by desires.

These were Xia Xiaohun’s experiences after ascending for more than ten years.

Because of these experiences, Xia Xiaohun had been lost and confused for a long time. He traveled around everywhere, but it seemed that the luck he had in the Cultivation Realm had not followed him here. He was no longer able to obtain benefits everywhere he went like before.

Just today, he was traveling around as usual. However, after a golden light that shot into the sky appeared,

Xia Xiaohun instinctively chased after it. After all, back when he was in the Cultivation Realm, he had often encountered such situations. It was generally the appearance of a supreme treasure, and afterward, there would inevitably be some kind of struggle.

Therefore, Xia Xiaohun instinctively wanted to pick up some benefits.

But he had never expected that this time, the benefit would not be so easy to obtain.

When he saw that the first person to encounter the supreme treasure was a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, he had already mourned for him.

Afterward came the familiar scene, another slaughter broke out. Looking at this extremely familiar sight, Xia Xiaohun did not know why, but he felt that something was especially wrong.

However, he could not explain what exactly felt wrong.

He could only continue observing from the side, having absolutely no intention of making a move to seize anything.

Actually, every time Xia Xiaohun encountered such situations, he had never once tried to seize anything. Yet he still ended up with a full harvest.

Usually, he would only go and collect the corpses. He had never made a move.

Therefore, this time, he still planned to wait and pick up whatever was left behind as usual.

The only thing Xia Xiaohun had not expected was that this battle would become so terrifying. Most of the Immortals had actually been killed, leaving only one behind.

Moreover, that person was severely injured. Facing such an ending, Xia Xiaohun still did not make a move to finish him off, because he was waiting for him to die.

That was right. Xia Xiaohun’s method of picking up benefits was exactly like this. Regardless of how the situation developed or ended, as long as everyone had not died, he absolutely would not make a move.

While he was waiting, he never expected that something like this would happen.

The Spirit Transformation cultivator from before had not only survived the slaughter, but had also appeared alive on the battlefield.

What confused him the most was that the supreme treasure had actually become two.

Facing this situation, Xia Xiaohun also understood that perhaps this was a trap.

Immediately afterward, he saw Li Tianwei pick up the banner in his hand and wave it.

That overwhelming demonic aura and evil power were as if a Great Demon had descended into the world.

Only at this moment did he understand why the banner had felt so familiar earlier.

Was this not exactly the Myriad Soul Banner that those Evil Cultivators often created?

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaohun instantly felt his scalp go numb.

“A Myriad Soul Banner that has become an Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure.”

A Myriad Soul Banner that had already become an Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure—just how many Departed Souls were needed, and how many people had to be killed, to forge such a thing?

Immediately afterward came the scene of the supreme treasure in An Ruanxi’s hand disappearing, as well as Li Tianwei suppressing him.

At this moment, Xia Xiaohun had already decided to escape. He also understood that after ascending, his good fortune had come to an end.

“Everything just now was fake. Everything I saw was fake.”

“This, this……”

Facing such a Great Demon, he would absolutely become a member within the banner. Thinking of this, Xia Xiaohun slowly moved outward, inch by inch.

Just as he had moved a few times, he saw that person look over.

Feeling that calm gaze, at this moment, it seemed as if everything about himself had been seen through.

“Not good, I was discovered.”

Xia Xiaohun panicked. The concealment method he had originally used also revealed a slight fluctuation.

As for Li Tianwei, he had actually detected Xia Xiaohun’s existence long ago. Although Xia Xiaohun’s concealment methods were excellent, they were still quite obvious to Li Tianwei.

Moreover, among the many Deceptive Immortals burdened with sins and possessing extreme Evil Power, Xia Xiaohun’s pure aura carrying a trace of Immortal essence was like a husky mixed among a pack of wolves. It was especially different and eye-catching.

This was why Li Tianwei had not dealt with him.

The System had also discovered him, but after noticing his difference, it had not deliberately guided him.

At this moment, Xia Xiaohun also came to understand why he had been recalling his past just now. So that was the Life’s Lantern!

“I’m going to die! I’m going to die!”

Facing this situation, there was no need to recall anything anymore. It seemed that this was truly his only ending.

“Dying is impossible. I absolutely cannot die in this lifetime.”

Thus, Xia Xiaohun did not hesitate and chose to undo his concealment method, appearing before Li Tianwei.

The moment he saw Li Tianwei, the three-thousand-year-old Xia Xiaohun directly fell to his knees before Li Tianwei with a thump.

“Senior, Great Immortal, my admiration for you is like the endless rivers and waters, continuous and unceasing, impossible to stop……”

“I ascended from the lower realm precisely to seek after a great figure like you.”

“Only after seeing you now did I realize how shallow and limited my own understanding was.”

“I hope Great Immortal can grant me the opportunity to follow you.”

Kneeling on the ground, Xia Xiaohun’s mouth never stopped. One sentence followed another.

Li Tianwei also had not expected that there would be someone like Xia Xiaohun.

As for the System, it was also amazed by Xia Xiaohun’s actions. It even had the thought of wanting this fellow to teach it a few tricks.

“What is your name?”

Li Tianwei rarely encountered a fake Immortal who possessed a trace of Immortal essence and carried no sins. Naturally, he would not attack him.

“Xia Xiaohun.”

Hearing Li Tianwei’s question, Xia Xiaohun understood that his life had been preserved.
