Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Speaking of this, the cultivator’s emotions became somewhat excited. To be fortunate enough to embark on the Immortal Path, only to face premature death halfway through, is something no one would accept willingly.

Taking a deep breath, calming his somewhat excited emotions, the cultivator continued, ”I have a map in my hand, a map of an Inheritance Secret Realm handed down from ancient times. If I can obtain the inheritance from this Secret Realm, I can immediately break through from the Nascent Soul to the Divine Split Stage.

But this Inheritance Secret Realm is extremely perilous. I need someone to accompany me and help. And this companion must not be driven by greed, or else I’ll be in danger.

Counting through and through, the only person capable of helping me and trustworthy is none other than Fengqiao Pavilion Master, who is known for his righteousness and leads a talented team.

This Personal Immortal Mansion was originally intended to attract you, Fengqiao Pavilion Master, but I didn’t expect it would draw Immortal Master Nie as well, a pleasant surprise for me indeed!

Immortal Master Nie is a Great Cultivator at the Out-of-Body Stage, renowned externally for his uprightness and selflessness. If Immortal Master Nie agrees to accompany me to the Inheritance Secret Realm, I can naturally rest assured.”

As he finished speaking, the cultivator looked at Nie Shuangshuang with a desire and fervent gaze; this journey to the Inheritance Secret Realm concerned his future destiny.

He had even put up his life-saving Personal Immortal Mansion, taking a desperate gamble. If this Immortal Mansion could not sway Nie Shuangshuang, he could only follow the original plan, hoping it would appeal to Feng Qiao.

Nie Shuangshuang pondered for a while. Secret Realms of inheritance have always been perilous, with varying degrees of danger.

Some builders of the Inheritance Secret Realm adhere to the philosophy of ”rather lack than impure,” preferring the inheritance to be forever passed on than to settle for less talented individuals, which can be life-threatening.

Some have lower requirements, where even slightly lacking talent can suffice, making the Secret Realm less dangerous. But regardless of the type, an Inheritance Secret Realm certainly demands talent from the inheritor.

This person is still only at the Nascent Soul Stage, though this talent is already commendable. After all, cultivation is like crossing a single-log bridge amidst an army; among so many, few reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

Yet, even if the talent is good, there’s always a distinction. A Secret Realm that allows him to be confident of breaking through to the Divine Split Stage upon receiving the inheritance surely requires exceptional talent.

No matter how much the talent requirements drop in such a Secret Realm, it wouldn’t be one where someone unable to break through the Divine Split can inherit. How is he so certain he can obtain this inheritance?

However, Nie Shuangshuang merely thought about it. Whether he can obtain the Secret Realm’s inheritance and how he does it is his matter; she only needs to consider whether to agree.

Nie Shuangshuang hesitated a bit, unsure how to deal with Feng Feiyu, whether to leave him in the sect or take him along.

Leaving him in the sect, Nie Shuangshuang feared Feng Feiyu might be bullied or encounter some enemy from a past life, suddenly acting recklessly.

If he suffers without her protection and further turns dark, what then? He’s already quite the mischievous child. The problem is this mischievous child harbors darkness without saying, hiding it so you can’t easily detect.

As for taking him along, it’s unclear what dangers lie in the ancient Inheritance Secret Realm, and Nie Shuangshuang has the unfortunate trait of visiting perilous places where the danger level invariably sky-rockets.

If she takes someone so young with her, if any danger or error occurs, she would regret it tremendously.

Nie Shuangshuang’s indecision was mirrored by Feng Qiao, who also hesitated. Notably, Nie Shuangshuang is known for her fearless escapades into countless perilous Secret Realms.

Everyone knows her luck swings to extremes – out in the world, she inevitably encounters Secret Realms, which are bound to be exceptionally dangerous. If even she hesitates, Feng Qiao knew heading there might end in disaster.

Nie Shuangshuang desired to go, not just for the Personal Immortal Mansion, but because she possesses an adventurous spirit.

Holding the Phantom Monkey quietly nestled in her arms, Feng Feiyu saw Nie Shuangshuang hesitate and finally couldn’t resist speaking up.

He tugged at Nie Shuangshuang’s sleeve, capturing her attention before saying, ”Master, I want to experience this Inheritance Secret Realm as well.”

Since Feng Feiyu spoke up, Nie Shuangshuang had no choice. Feng Feiyu must have his reasons for wanting to go; Nie Shuangshuang felt it inappropriate to inquire further.

It likely pertains to Feng Feiyu’s past life memories. Apart from agreeing, what else could she do?

Once Nie Shuangshuang consented, Feng Qiao naturally agreed to accompany her. The cultivator was relieved seeing both Nie Shuangshuang and Feng Qiao agree to join him in the Secret Realm expedition.

To ensure Nie Shuangshuang and Feng Qiao wouldn’t kill him for wealth, before setting out for the Secret Realm, the three made solemn oaths, vowing not to plot against one another over treasures in the Secret Realm or seize the inheritance under penalty of divine retribution.

After the oath was made, a sudden thunderclap resonated across the clear sky, grand and deafening.

This wasn’t a signal of rain but represented the heavens’ acknowledgment of the vow. If the vow is broken, it will truly be fulfilled.

Nie Shuangshuang and Feng Qiao learned the cultivator’s identity; he was Gong Junbao, an Inner Sect Elder of the Dan Dao Sect, a person of considerable renown.

Dan Dao Sect, as the name implies, focuses entirely on Alchemy. Its disciples enter the path through the Alchemy Dao, which explains why Gong Junbao, though merely a Nascent Soul cultivator, possesses so many precious treasures.

Alchemy and Artifact Refining are recognized in the Cultivation World as two of the most lucrative occupations. Artifact refining is indispensable for travel, explorations in Secret Realms, treasure hunting, and combat.

As for alchemy, except for exceptionally gifted individuals like Nie Shuangshuang, cultivators depend on Elixirs all their lives—needed for leveling up, breakthroughs, healing injuries, and restoring spirit during combat.

The Hundred Strange Sect for Artifact Refining and the Dan Dao Sect for Alchemy are recognized in the Cultivation World as second only to the Four Great Immortal Sects, owing to the disciples’ skills in refining artifacts and concocting elixirs.

There’s no telling when one might need something from them, hence it’s wise to avoid unnecessary conflicts in everyday matters, to ensure a smooth handling when you do require their services.

Fortunately, disciples of the Hundred Strange Sect and Dan Dao Sect mostly focus on their craft, lacking the inclination for troublemaking. If you don’t provoke them, they’ll never provoke you.

If you do annoy them, it’s still no concern, unless you’ve truly pushed them to their limit; they’re so absent-minded they hardly notice being provoked.

Since the decision to enter the Secret Realm with Gong Junbao was made, Nie Shuangshuang prepared to return to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect briefly. As the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, she must delegate some essential matters before suddenly departing.
