Chapter 243 - 169 Immortal Sword Comes from the East_2
"I am talking about Qingcang and also about you. Qingcang became an Immortal after eight hundred years, while in less than a year, without any cultivation, you achieved Dao Foundation Perfection of the ninth level and possessed three Immortal Skills. Unfortunately, each place was occupied, you could not become an Immortal, and the Sword Immortal is restricted by the Immortal Sword."
Sword Immortals are not true Immortals but are dominated by the Immortal Sword.
Gu Wen heard the underlying meaning and asked, "The younger generation has heard that the Dao Foundation Perfection of the ninth level is enough to become an Immortal."
"Indeed, but how many have achieved it throughout the ages? To my knowledge, in the last thirty thousand years, and the thirty thousand years before that, not a single one succeeded. Do you intend to be the first in thirty thousand years?"
Xuan Yue countered, though Gu Wen displayed no arrogance but humbly shook his head and said, "I possess some talent, but if the path of the Immortal Sword were slightly simpler, I wouldn’t resist it."
He indeed had such intentions, yet now it looked nearly impossible to achieve Dao Foundation Perfection. If he lacked the qualifications for a complete ninth-level completion, then the required amount of Heavenly Marrow would be astronomically high.
Yet not following others allows one to draw out more from the conversation.
A trace of helplessness flashed through Yu Hua’s eyes as she pursed her lips.
Even a Demi Immortal true body dared to scheme.
Xuan Yue said, "I fought over the Dao with the Sword Master and lost. If you choose to become an Immortal through the Immortal Sword, you’ll likely lose to him too and thus will not achieve true longevity. Moreover, missing this era might mean waiting tens of thousands of years for another chance to become an Immortal."
