120: The Secret of the Character

You began a deep exploration here.

It wasn't until several hours later that you found an ancient book among a pile of weathered Spirit Stones.

Five large characters were written on it: "Golden Horn Piercing Thorn"!

You paused slightly, then began to read it.

This was a fifth-rank immortal art, primarily for killing, possessing extremely powerful offensive capabilities.

However, it could only be Cultivated by the Golden Horn Race.

Because this immortal art was entirely about tempering the horn and using it to launch attacks.

Clearly, this did not suit you.

"That's not right. Since the Year Wheel Gift guided me here, it means this item should be useful to me," you mused for a moment, deciding to use your fingers instead of horns to Cultivate.

You left this space and found a safe place to begin your Cultivation.

In the one thousand and seventieth year.

You tempered your fingers to be incredibly hard, successfully learning the Golden Horn Piercing Thorn by substituting them for horns.

Having greatly advanced in strength, you did not immediately emerge from seclusion but continued to Cultivate in the same spot.

In the one thousand two hundredth year.

After many years of accumulation, your Cultivation successfully broke through to Heavenly Immortal third layer.

Moreover, during these years, you received the Opportunity of the Year Wheel Gift multiple times.

However, as you continuously Cultivated in seclusion here, the Opportunities became progressively worse.

You decided to leave this place and begin exploring famous mountains and ancient ruins in the Xuanhuang Great World.

Your first destination was the Ten Thousand Mountains.

This place was vast and rich in resources, surely containing many undiscovered areas.

You found a secluded valley, where you Cultivated while waiting for the arrival of the Year Wheel Gift.

In the one thousand two hundred and twelfth year.

You had a sudden inspiration, sensing a mysterious aura to the east that was attracting you.

You immediately activated the Law of Space and rushed over.

However, the scene that appeared there left you dumbfounded.

You saw a Cheng Huang and a Teng She fighting, and their target was a lotus flower in a pond.

Its lotus leaves were bright red, floating on the water, emitting a faint golden light.

You didn't know what this lotus flower was called.

But it would certainly be of great help to you.

You instantly appeared above the lotus leaf, but just then, a warning from your Crisis Awareness came to your mind.

"There's also a Yao Beast at the bottom of the water!"

You were startled and once again activated the Law of Space to evade.

You saw a Kun appear exactly where you had just been!

It opened its giant mouth and lunged towards the lotus flower!

Seeing this, its name instantly appeared in your mind.

Tai Xu Kun!

This type of Yao Beast was extremely powerful, naturally possessing a faint Law of Space.

Although this Law was different from yours and had no room for improvement.

It still made the Tai Xu Kun the top of the food chain among Yao Beasts.

You hesitated slightly.

But the Cheng Huang and Teng She became anxious the moment they saw the Tai Xu Kun.

They both unleashed their innate Divine Abilities and attacked the Tai Xu Kun.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

Two attacks struck the Tai Xu Kun's body, but its massive body merely trembled for a moment before it lunged towards the lotus flower again.

"A Heavenly Immortal Peak Tai Xu Kun…"

You weighed the situation in your mind.

Finally, you no longer hesitated and immediately activated the Law of Space to teleport beside the Tai Xu Kun.

"Golden Horn Piercing Thorn!"

"Whoosh!"

A finger imprint, carrying earth-shattering power, shot towards the Tai Xu Kun.

It also realized that something was amiss.

But it was too late.

Just as it made a countermeasure, the finger imprint quickly pierced through it, heading straight for its head!

"Om…"

The Tai Xu Kun let out a painful wail, then transformed into human form, narrowly avoiding this Fatal Strike!

At this moment, one side of its head was pierced through, blood gushing out, and it looked at you in disbelief.

"A Human Race Heavenly Immortal can actually break through this King's Physical Body?!"

"What immortal art is this?!"

You ignored its words.

Instead, your figure flashed, and you appeared next to the lotus flower.

The Yao Beasts dared not stop you.

Only after you had collected the lotus flower did that Tai Xu Kun speak: "Fellow Daoist of the Human Race, please stay. This lotus flower is called the Heaven Water Pure Blood Lotus, an item used by our Yao Race to purify Bloodlines."

"It is useless to you Human Race; even if you collect it, you would only exchange it for Cultivation resources."

"Why not make a deal with this King directly?"

Upon hearing this, your brows slightly furrowed.

You had heard a little about the Heaven Water Pure Blood Lotus, but if it truly was a useless item, then why would the Year Wheel Gift mysteriously guide you here?

After a moment of hesitation, you ultimately decided to see what the Tai Xu Kun could offer in exchange.

After receiving your permission.

The Tai Xu Kun instantly vanished from its spot, only to return a few moments later with a Jade Slip emitting golden light.

Two large characters were written on it: "Longevity"!

Your pupils contracted, and you immediately agreed to the exchange.

In the one thousand two hundred and twentieth year.

When you opened your eyes again, strands of profound Life Qi had appeared beside you.

The source of this Life Qi was naturally the Jade Slip the Tai Xu Kun exchanged with you.

The moment you first saw it, you realized its extraordinary nature.

The result was as you expected.

What was recorded in this Jade Slip was precisely the Legacy left behind by a Cultivator known as Longevity Immortal Venerable.

He was a Human Race Cultivator from two hundred thousand years ago.

At that time, the Myriad Worlds had not yet undergone Fusion, and Longevity Immortal Venerable was the only Immortal Venerable powerhouse of the Human Race.

Longevity Immortal Venerable was not very old; logically speaking, with his Law of Life, it shouldn't have been a problem for him to live until now. So why, during the Fusion of the Myriad Worlds, was there no Immortal Venerable Cultivator guarding the Human Race?

This left you somewhat puzzled.

However, his whereabouts had nothing to do with you.

After obtaining the Legacy of Longevity Immortal Venerable, your strength indeed advanced by leaps and bounds.

Within his Legacy, there were not only several powerful immortal spells and immortal arts, but also a Legacy concerning the Zhe Word Secret.

This Legacy was extremely powerful; when you successfully Cultivated it, that profound Life Qi appeared by your side.

Under its blessing, all your injuries could recover at an extremely fast speed.

And the Legacy also clearly stated that even if the Physical Body was destroyed, as long as a wisp of the Soul remained, it could be restored to its original state through the Zhe Word Secret!
