"In the beginning, I wanted you to practice this method wholeheartedly, but I didn't tell you the truth about it. As a result, you lost trust in me and left Penglai Pavilion, resulting in a series of misunderstandings."
"I've always regretted this matter, so today I've decided to be frank with you and tell you the truth about the Celestial Ascension Technique."
Penglai Island Master looked sincere, but Gu Chen couldn't tell if he was going to make up a fake story. After all, his acting skills were too good.
"The Immortal Ascension Technique is a technique to cultivate an Immortal Physique!"
Hearing Penglai Island Master's words, Gu Chen listened attentively.
"The Old Man once said that he got the Immortal Ascension Technique from an ancient relic, and it's true. Theoretically, this technique can help people cultivate an Immortal Physique, and it's one of the few extremely precious techniques left in the world."
"You might have heard about the superiority of the Immortal Physique. It's above the top-tier physiques, and it's a dream-like super physique. The cultivators' definition of Immortals comes from the Immortal Physique. "
"Unfortunately, the environment of the Ancient Dark Yellow Star has changed drastically since the ancient times, and naturally-born Immortal Physiques don't exist anymore. Nowadays, cultivators can't even reach the Immortal Shedding Realm."
"Under such circumstances, it's extremely rare to cultivate an Immortal Physique. If one can have an Immortal Physique, he or she might be able to pursue a higher realm even if the environment is too poor."
Penglai Island Master looked yearning.
"Is this why you are so obsessed with the Immortal Ascension Technique?" Gu Chen asked after a moment of consideration.
Penglai Island Master didn't refute and nodded. "That's right. Since the 68 Immortals 85,555 years ago, no one in the Ancient Dark Yellow Star has been able to reach the Immortal Shedding Realm.
"We cultivators pursue the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it's not an exaggeration to say that we've shed our blood to break through and become Immortals. If it wasn't so, there wouldn't be so many geniuses entering the sinkhole to seek fortuitous encounters. "
"The Old Man is also stuck at the bottleneck of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. He is unwilling to be restricted by this world. Even if he has no hope of breaking through, he still hopes to create a genius so that he can break the situation of no one becoming an immortal."
"At this time, the Old Man obtained the Immortal Ascension Technique by chance and wanted to know if the Immortal Body could really be cultivated. However, the Old Man greatly underestimated the difficulty of the Celestial Ascension Technique. The Feast of the Sea and Sky has been held for so many years, and so many geniuses have been recruited into the pavilion, but no one has been able to cultivate it to the grand completion and condense an immortal body. "
"This situation continued until you appeared. When you came out after staying in the Landscape of Returning to Nature for five hours, the Old Man knew that you had the best aptitude to cultivate the nameless Immortal Physique described in the Immortal Ascension Secret."
Penglai Island Master said with a sigh. Many of Gu Chen's questions in the past seemed to have been answered, but Gu Chen chose to ignore some of them.
"Island Lord, do you think that if I cultivate the Immortal Ascension Technique and condense the Immortal Body, the conflict between the two forces in my body will disappear?"
Gu Chen couldn't help but chuckle. The purpose was too obvious.
"The Old Man told me his speculation. If you can condense the Immortal Body, the power of the Immortal Body will be enough to resist the power of the Gu Clan's bloodline, and the two forces may merge perfectly. The Old Man indeed wants you to reconsider the Immortal Ascension Technique, but the choice is still in your hands. "
Penglai Island Master looked calm.
Gu Chen's eyes flashed. "The Immortal Body isn't that easy to cultivate. Zuo Chunqiu has cultivated for so long and still hasn't succeeded. Distant water can't quench present thirst. Besides, cultivating the Immortal Ascension Technique has its drawbacks. The risk of death is high, and even if one survives, it won't be a good thing if Miao Fugui's temperament changes drastically. "
Penglai Island Master smiled. "You don't know enough about the Immortal Body Technique. The longer you cultivate the Immortal Body Technique, the more successful it will be. In the current environment, the Immortal Body Technique that was born naturally doesn't exist, and it's even more difficult to cultivate the Immortal Body Technique. Only a few Immortal Body Techniques can achieve this, and all of them have strict requirements.
"The Tiandao Sect's Immortal Body Technique and the Immortal Ascension Technique happen to be of this type. With the severe loss of the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, these two techniques absorb more of the power of the Heaven and Earth laws to achieve the goal of condensing the Immortal Body.
"Zuo Chunqiu only borrowed the power of the 94 Heaven and Earth laws. He won't be able to sublimate to the extreme unless he comprehended the Escape One. However, your starting point is much higher than his. You have already condensed the Eternal Freedom Dharma Idol and can transform into anything. In other words, you can borrow the power of tens of thousands of laws!
"When others break through to the Transcendence Realm, they will condense an Immortal Body. Do you know how big of an advantage you have?
"As for the Immortal Ascension Technique, it does have its drawbacks, but it has a lot to do with the cultivator's poor talent and weak willpower.
"The Old Man has said all he can, and there are no secrets left. If you want to try, then try. If you don't, it's none of my business."
After finishing his words, Penglai Island Master left the Immortal Ascension Technique to Gu Chen and left alone.
Gu Chen stood where he was and thought about his words. How much of what Penglai Island Master said was true?
After a moment of consideration, he put the Immortal Ascension Technique into his storage ring and left as well.
Five days later, the Continent Conference arrived!
The location of the conference was announced three days in advance. It was located at the border of the Deep Demon Sea and the Vast Moon Territory.
People from the 67 Immortal Sects and the Gu Clan would attend the conference, and so would the major forces of the seven major regions.
Early in the morning, Gu Chen opened the door of the cell and asked the combat ghost to drag out the dying Gu Yuanshan.
In the past month, Gu Yuanshan had been tortured by Gu Chen. His hair was disheveled, and he looked disheveled.
"Clean and dress up Clan Master Gu. After all, today is the Continent Conference, and we have to return the hostages. We can't embarrass the Gu Clan."
Gu Chen said indifferently. The combat ghost nodded and asked his subordinates to clean and change Gu Yuanshan's clothes.
"Are you going to let me go?"
Gu Yuanshan's voice was hoarse as hope appeared in his eyes.
In the past month, he had been tortured so much that he almost went crazy. In the past, he had insulted Gu Chen, but later, he didn't even have the strength to do so. In fact, he was so desperate that he wished he was dead.
Now that he finally had the hope of getting out, he was thrilled.
"Of course. The Gu Clan held the Continent Conference as agreed, and we will be comrades in the Heaven Pit and the Earth Eye. Of course, we must send you back," Gu Chen said with a smile.
His affirmative answer made Gu Yuanshan even more excited. Finally, he had endured until the end!
This damned Gu Chen still wanted to form an alliance with the Gu Clan. It was simply wishful thinking!
As long as he was still the Gu Clan Master, once he was released, he would definitely take revenge!
He would definitely make him regret letting the tiger return to the mountain!
Gu Yuanshan's mind quickly became active as he thought about how to take revenge on Gu Chen at the Continent Conference today.
Gu Chen looked at the patriarch of the Gu Clan, who had put on a decent appearance again, but there was a teasing light in his eyes.
