The Undying Immortal System

Choosing the path we would walk on our way to Yellow City was more complicated than I had originally imagined.

For LiTing, Yan, and Meng LuYao, the path that made the most sense was the Path of Soul. They had sufficient knowledge of high-level martial and profession skills, so the other two paths would be easy for them as long as their cultivation levels were sufficient. However, while they knew how to cultivate their souls, rapidly raising them to a level suitable for a King or Emperor was still a bad idea. By taking the Path of Soul first, they would be removing a potential future bottleneck.

JiaQi, on the other hand, hadn’t mastered many of the high-Rank beast taming skills. If she waited to take the Path of Mind until the trip to Profound or Earth City, she would have a difficult time passing it. Therefore, she needed to walk that path on the way to Yellow City.

I didn’t want her to walk it alone in case she got into trouble, so since the order I walked the paths wasn’t overly important, I joined her on the Path of Mind.

Before entering, I handed her a second-generation version of my communication formation to see how it would handle the path. I had made this one after we reached Heaven City last time, and while it didn’t have many improvements over the first iteration, it should have a longer range. I also found a way to let it pierce through weak shielding formations. The plan was for her to buzz me the moment we entered the path. Then, if either of us had to enter the holding area, we would signal the other with two buzzes.

Once we were both ready, we passed through our portals and entered the Path of Mind.

I decided to stick with the test for alchemists. While my purchased knowledge would have let me pass the test for talisman artists, I didn’t have any attachment to that profession, and I didn’t want to give the Master of the Lightning Peak the satisfaction of seeing my talisman skills. While I would have also been fine on the formation specialist path, I just stuck with what I knew to avoid any additional complications.

When I entered the first test cavern and found the ‘challenge’ waiting for me, I was almost ashamed of how simple it was, but I didn’t let that stop me. Its simplicity just meant that I would be able to get things done sooner than I had hoped.

However, before I could get started, two things interrupted me.
