Turns Out I Really Am The Protagonist

The world is filled with myriad sects, horrific demons, and rising heroes, but each only reigns for a few hundred years. This world had no protagonist; it was merely a cycle of one power replacing ...

Chapter 157 Immortal

Immortal?

That's a legendary existence. I've hardly ever even heard of it, let alone seen it. It's the ultimate goal for cultivators!

Those who attain immortality and attain enlightenment ascend to heaven on flat ground, living as long as the heavens. They not only possess the power to destroy the world, but also stand proudly above Mount Buzhou. Only immortals are qualified to stand atop Mount Buzhou, and even the Asura Ridge is still a long way from the summit of Mount Buzhou!

Li Sisui restrained his actions, his mind racing, and hesitated before saying:

"Of course I've heard of it. Don't tell me you're an immortal..."

The old man looked horrified and stammered:

"You...who exactly are you? How do you know everything? Well, it's all good. If you weren't one in a million, you probably wouldn't have obtained that treasure map, let alone found this place. Haha!"

The old man's doubts gradually disappeared, followed by uncontrollable joy. He laughed until tears streamed down his face. However, being in Li Sisui's spiritual space, he had no tears to shed. Although only a few drops of the old man's tears fell to the ground, Li Sisui felt the changes in his spiritual space. These few drops were equivalent to the amount of spiritual consciousness transformed by the Five Dragons Divine Travel Pill!

Could this lone ghost that suddenly barged in really be an immortal?

Otherwise, how could a few drops of tears have such a miraculous effect? ​​But since he is an immortal, how could he have fallen to such a state, being frightened and trembling by a mere idiot at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm?

Li Sisui looked at the old man with a puzzled expression, but the old man ignored him and let out a long howl. His deep, aged voice was filled with complex emotions. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could feel a pang of sadness in his voice.

Li Sisui saw this and his heart was filled with turbulent waves. Could it be that the remnant soul in front of him was actually an immortal?

"You...you really are an immortal? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Immortal? Heh, that title is from too long ago, I can hardly remember it anymore. The past is too painful to recall, the glorious days of the immortal path are long gone, now I am nothing but a lonely soul clinging to life..."

Li Sisui was shocked, his mouth agape, almost big enough to fit an apple. Could it be that the real treasure of this treasure map was this wisp of immortal soul in front of him?

"Young friend, there's no need to worry. If I want to see the light of day again, I still need your support. So no matter what, I will never harm you. I hope you can put your guard down and allow me to explain slowly..."

So many years have passed, and I had almost given up hope. If this remnant soul hadn't relied on the will of the immortals, it would have long since collapsed and dissipated. Fortunately, the nearly ten thousand years of waiting have not been in vain. I have finally awaited the chosen one! Haha!

As the old man's face became increasingly expressive, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his face glowing with pride, and said:

"Young friend, since you have come here, you must have crossed the icy pool to get here. Don't you feel anything?"

Li Sisui looked at his body, a puzzled expression on his face, and said:

"Aside from the biting cold, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it..."

"Hmph! Very well, how could a mere cultivator possibly perceive the techniques of immortals? I won't keep you in suspense any longer. To be honest, it's already a great fortune that I was able to witness your appearance today. If I missed you this time, I'm afraid I would truly miss you for the rest of my life. I can't wait any longer, and I can't afford to wait any longer!"

Li Sisui looked at the righteous old man in front of him with a serious expression, wondering what he was up to.

“What I said before was all true, but it’s not as you think. If your sea of ​​consciousness weren’t extraordinary, you probably wouldn’t have been able to cross the icy pool so easily! Only such a vast sea of ​​consciousness could barely serve as my refuge…”

Young friend, there's no need to worry. My immortal spirit body is incapable of possessing an ordinary cultivator; you can rest assured. With your frail immortal physique, you're not even capable of withstanding a celestial spirit body. I fear your body would collapse before the possession even begins!

Li Sisui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't being possessed. After all, he had transmigrated, which, strictly speaking, was also a kind of possession. Therefore, he was very wary of such things!

"It's a miracle that I've lived this long. After all, the immortal path has collapsed. Although cultivators are constantly striving to become immortals, there are almost none who truly have the potential to become immortals. Have you ever heard any cultivators talking about any immortal aura?"

Li Sisui frowned. Although everyone was a cultivator and was aiming for immortality, there were very few legends about immortals. Not to mention the deeds of immortals, they had never even seen any immortal artifacts, let alone immortal techniques!

He had just arrived at Shura Ridge and naturally didn't know much about the situation there. He dared not speak rashly, but whether it was Wulipo, Shengrenqiu, or Fugushan, which he had only visited once, he had never heard any news about immortals, not even a single word!

He hadn't paid much attention before, after all, they were all cultivators, focused on their cultivation, who would care about immortals? Even the sage who was rumored to be divine on Sage Hill had never been heard to have any connection with immortals. As for later finding out that the sage was Lingyun, that was another story...

Now, after the old man's reminder, I do feel a bit strange. As cultivators, admiring the great achievements of immortals and inheriting their mantle should be the broad road for countless cultivators. But now, all cultivators are focused on cultivation and have never heard any rumors about immortals. It's as if the concept of immortals doesn't exist at all. This is too unbelievable!

"I don't think I've ever heard of it before..."

After thinking for a long time, Li Sisui couldn't come up with any rebuttal, so he had no choice but to answer honestly. The old man smiled slightly, revealing an expression of utter certainty, and slowly said:
