Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Although the fruit of the Creation Tree has no Immortal Root, mortals entering it cannot cultivate immortality, and even if they come back to life, they can only remain as mortals.

However, they can avoid reincarnation and preserve all their memories from their previous life, which is enough to drive cultivators with important mortal relatives mad.

The fruit of the Creation Tree doesn’t rot for ten thousand years, which means mortals entering the Creation Tree can have a ten thousand-year lifespan, and the fruit also has the effect of nurturing and protecting mortal souls.

Therefore, as long as another fruit from the Creation Tree is found before the current one eventually rots, the mortal’s soul can be transferred into it to continue living.

Indeed, it’s a magnificent opening ceremony for the Treasure Pavilion, yet another precious artifact that drives countless cultivators insane with desire.

Feng Qiao looked at the crowd below the auction platform, who were incredibly excited, and once again revealed a proud smile. Even she was immensely moved by the appearance of the Creation Tree Fruit.

Feng Qiao clapped her hands, drawing everyone’s attention back to her, and spoke with a smile: ”It seems there’s no need for me to continue explaining; everyone already knows the use of the Creation Tree Fruit.

We cultivators defy fate in cultivation; a mere Foundation Establishment grants a five hundred-year lifespan, while a Golden Core grants a thousand years.

Upon reaching Nascent Soul, one achieves five thousand years, Divine Separation ten thousand years, Soul Emergence seventy to eighty thousand years, Crossing Tribulation over a hundred thousand years, and even Loose Cultivators have lifespans of hundreds of thousands of years, while True Immortals are nearly immortal.

In such a long life, time is the least important to us; yet, it is the most merciless, as it ruthlessly takes away our important but mortal loved ones with limited lifespans.

Perhaps during one of your meditations, your loved ones have already turned to dust. Maybe you can choose to distance yourself from family to avoid the pain of separation, but is familial love truly that easy to sever?

When your loved ones truly leave you, will you really not feel pain and regret for having distanced yourself from your family?”

Feng Qiao’s words were extremely persuasive, and while some selfish individuals might not care about their family’s life and death, only concerned with their own benefit, including their parents.

But most people care about their family, their lovers, their friends, their children.

Becoming a cultivator, with a long lifespan, only heightens the hope that one’s family and loved ones will never leave, will always accompany them, so they won’t walk the path to longevity alone.

Humans long for immortality not only out of fear of death but also from the desire to possess all the beautiful, beloved, and important things for as long as possible.

Yet upon becoming a cultivator, many treasured things must be abandoned because they cannot be retained, cannot be acquired.

Mortals think cultivators are powerful, capable of splitting mountains and filling seas, yet as one steps further onto the path of immortality, one realizes their insignificance and confronts myriad desires that cannot be fulfilled, things that cannot be let go.

If one cannot force things to happen, they can only forget, continuously fading emotions away, simply hoping that when they lose these things, they won’t be in pain. But if one truly values them, losing them will certainly cause pain.

Feng Qiao’s words struck a chord with many people, and in the crowd below, a tough-looking man suddenly cried, shouting: ”Who the hell wouldn’t regret!”

This man had previously prepared himself not to be too saddened in the future, and when he couldn’t find a way to extend his mortal father’s lifespan, he left his family after leaving sufficient money, never to return.

He thought that by doing this, he wouldn’t be too sad when his father died. But it was all self-deception; when he learned of his father’s death and could no longer see his father’s figure, overwhelming regret submerged him.

He regretted not having kept his father company during his father’s already short life, for a brief escape left him without seeing his father’s last moment, leaving his father lonely in the latter part of his life.

If there had been a Creation Tree Fruit, he could have retained his father, and he wouldn’t have had to endure such pain.

Those enduring similar pain aren’t just mortals chosen to enter a Sect as cultivators; it includes those from cultivation families.

Even cultivators can have descendants, and even when both parents possess Spirit Roots, there is still a one in a thousand chance of giving birth to offspring without Spirit Roots.

Watching one’s child with no Spirit Root, able to accompany them for just a century, watching them grow old with the greying of hair, experiencing their death; such pain is unimaginable to those who haven’t experienced it.

Seeing everyone’s emotions stirred sufficiently, Feng Qiao continued: ”But with these Creation Tree Fruits, it’s different; we can transfer our loved ones’ souls into the fruits.

This way, our loved ones won’t have to leave us because they are mortal with short lifespans, and there’s good news I want to share with you: the Treasure Pavilion has prepared a total of fifty of these Creation Tree Fruits!

Now, I announce that today’s auction’s first item, the Creation Tree Fruit, is now open for bidding, with one fruit auctioned at a time; starting bid is ten thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones! The auction begins now!”

As Feng Qiao’s voice fell, the crowd below immediately began fiercely raising their paddles. Those with mortal loved ones continuously raised their prices in hopes of securing one of the fruits.

Even cultivators without mortal loved ones frequently raised their paddles, just as Feng Qiao mentioned earlier, since two people with Spirit Roots could potentially give birth to a mortal.

Those with partners were embroiled in competition, and of course, those without partners wouldn’t lag behind; who knew when they might have one.

If misfortune strikes and they give birth to a mortal child, it will be too late to seek out Creation Tree Fruit.

The Creation Tree Fruit is exceedingly rare; encountering one is a chance to stockpile them for emergencies.

The price of ten thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones surged rapidly, soon reaching fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, a price that could buy a superb Magic Artifact.

Yet, the Creation Tree Fruit is priceless to many, so they don’t hesitate to continue bidding more Spirit Stones, merely hoping to secure one through auction.

They’re not greedy for more because the item is too rare; too much bidding would be considered inconsiderate, and it could incite public outrage, as everyone has loved ones. As long as they win one, they’re satisfied.

Yet, for some, the Creation Tree Fruit is worthless; they are inherently cold and indifferent, unwilling to spend such money just to retain their mortal loved ones.

The result is frantic bidding, while those not participating in the auction appear indifferent. Just as the price reaches sixty thousand, the window of Nie Shuangshuang’s opposing box opens, and a young man in purple clothes leans out.

”Seventy thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, and I ask everyone to give the Great Elder of Hundred Strange Sect some face.”

Hundred Strange Sect is a Sect dedicated to Artifact Refining; many odd and powerful Magic Artifacts and Magic Treasures are crafted by Hundred Strange Sect, a major sect second only to the Four Great Immortal Sects.

Since the other party announced their identity, it was evident they are determined to obtain the Creation Tree Fruit. With fifty available fruits, and the other party not demanding more than needed, the auction crowd ceased bidding.
