Chapter 100: The Mysterious and Powerful Man, I Want to Become an Immortal!

Gu Xi had a puzzled expression on his face. He looked at the man who looked like a crazy devil. He wanted to see the man’s facial features clearly, but he suddenly felt a great resistance, as if it was a warning.

He was shocked, but he still raised his head stubbornly. The tendons and veins all over his body seemed to have been crushed by a huge force. It was as if a lofty mountain had fallen down to stop him.

It was clearly just a simple action, but Gu Xi was doing it with great difficulty and effort. It took him more than half a day to take a quick look, but he felt an unprecedented stabbing pain. It was as if he had peered into some incredible secret.

In a split second, he finally saw the man’s facial features clearly!

However, there was an even deeper fear that enveloped him completely.

This was because the man’s face was densely covered with all kinds of talismans and scriptures!

historical Gu Xi was shocked. These talismans covered his original appearance, and every symbol was extremely difficult to understand. It revealed a mysterious and uncomfortable aura. It looked as if the writings on the talisman were wriggling.

Could it be that these talismans were alive?!

The thought that emerged in his heart shocked Gu Xi to the extreme. He wanted to see even more clearly, and the burning in his eyes seemed to be on the verge of burning up.

If there was a mirror in front of him at this moment, he would have noticed that his eyes were completely red. Two streams of blood tears were slowly condensing. It looked like they were about to drip down. It was as if there was some kind of ominous omen.

Gu Xi quickly retracted his gaze. He had a feeling that if he continued to look, his eyes would be completely blinded. Even if he refined the best medicinal pill in the world, it would not be able to repair them.

Even so, the pain and burning sensation on his face only increased and did not decrease. It was as if it was carved into his bones. It was like a punishment for Gu Xi to pry into the unknown.

Before he could regain his senses, a black hole suddenly appeared in the endless and deep void. Cold air emitted from it, and a huge suction force was transmitted.

A strong sense of weightlessness was transmitted. Gu Xi instantly fell down, as if he had fallen from the nine layers of clouds.

Before he lost consciousness, he could still hear the man’s continuous roars.

In the end, Gu XI finally heard those words clearly.

“I want to become an Immortal!”

Immediately after, his eyes turned black. His spiritual sense was sealed, but a mechanical voice came from his mind.

[System has detected and extracted the remaining energy of the Sword Mountain.]

[Absorbing...]

At the same time, a faint mark appeared on Gu Xi’s forehead. It flickered with supreme divine light. If one looked carefully, it was actually the shape of a small sword.

In just a few seconds, it instantly became dim, as if what had just happened was just an illusion.

By the time Gu Xi opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.

He rubbed his eyes and felt a splitting headache, as if someone had stuffed a lot of things into his head. Recalling the dream from yesterday, he shuddered. It felt too real.

That shocking sword, that man, as well as the mysterious talismans and scriptures. All sorts of phantoms appeared in his mind, lingering in his thoughts.

Gu Xi was sure that the talismans and scriptures were alive, but such a thing had never happened before. If others heard about it, they would think that he was crazy.

How could the talismans be alive?

There were also the words that the man said, which set off a huge wave in Gu Xi’s heart.

Immortal Ascension!

This was the dream of many people, and it was also the goal and aspiration of all cultivators. However, just like the mirage in the desert, there had never been anyone who could become an Immortal since ancient times.

The highest level of cultivators was the Great Emperor. He was at the Void-shattering stage, but no one had ever mentioned that the Great Emperor had ever succeeded. Even the founder of the royal family, such a peerless powerhouse, had never become an Immortal.

There were many Emperors who wanted to become an Immortal, and almost no one had heard of those who succeeded in the end. People could not help but suspect that Immortal Ascension was just a legend. Perhaps it was the yearning of future generations and the rumors that had been spread over time. It made people mistakenly believe that there were really Immortals in the world.

In reality, there was no such thing as becoming an Immortal.

In this current generation, no one dared to even think about it. Now that the Great Emperor had long fallen, he had not appeared for thousands of years. Even Emperor stage experts were so rare, let alone becoming an Immortal.

Perhaps what the world was pursuing was just an illusory dream.

Gu Xi said thoughtfully, “Then why would I have such a dream?”

He soon found out the answer.

As soon as he walked out of the room, someone ran over breathlessly, “Gu, Senior Brother Gu! We’re in big trouble!”

The Supreme Purity Sect disciple stared at Gu Xi’s face for a while and could not help but say, “Senior brother Gu, what’s wrong with your eyes? They look so red. Could it be that you didn’t sleep well last night?”

Thinking of what happened last night, the disciple’s face changed again and again. He carefully looked at Gu Xi. Could he really be related to this great man?

Gu Xi thought of the dream last night and his heart skipped a beat. However, he pretended to be fine and said, “No, I’m just a little uncomfortable.”

That disciple carefully asked again, “There was some movement in the suburbs of the Capital last night. Does Senior Brother Gu know about it?”

Thanks to that strange dream, Gu Xi had slept very soundly yesterday. He suspected that his spiritual sense had been pulled into a distorted space in an alternate dimension.

He shook his head. “No.”

The disciple clearly let out a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Gu Xi could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Senior Brother Gu, you don’t know. Sword Mountain is gone! All the Divine Weapons on it are gone. All the major sects and forces in the Capital have moved out. They must find the culprit who destroyed Sword Mountain!”

When he said the last sentence, the disciple could not help but swallow loudly. He subconsciously glanced at Gu Xi.
