Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: You Have Attained Immortality

”Oh!”

In the crowd, an elder from the Demon Clan looked furious and shouted, ”You little girl, how dare you speak like this to the Lord of Blissful Wish!”

Whoosh!

The many cultivators all stood up and surrounded Luo Li in the center.

Everyone was watching with fierce eyes, as if on the verge of a fight.

Luo Li remained calm in the face of danger, spread her hands, and said with a smile, ”So many elder seniors, are you actually going to gang up and bully a junior of the Heavenly Fate Realm?”

”...”

Many cultivators shuddered slightly, and their old faces turned red as they slowly backed away.

In their moment of panic earlier, they had surrounded this little girl, which was indeed a bit unwise.

And also slightly humiliating.

This little girl only had a cultivation base of the Heavenly Fate Realm Level 7.

Yet these old monsters, these relics, had already reached around Ten Layers of Life and Death Realm, and some had even achieved First Level of Eternal Realm.

Such high cultivation bases.

If they were to gang up on a Heavenly Fate Realm Level 7 little girl in front of everyone, it would indeed be too embarrassing.

Especially with the Lord of Blissful Wish nearby.

If they really committed such ridiculous action, how could they face the Lord of Blissful Wish for petitions in the future?

”You are all respected elders in the world, don’t you care about your reputation? If you dare to harm my sister, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Nangong Liuyun stepped forward, stretched an arm out to protect Luo Li, and said coldly.

Although she had just met Luo Li by chance, their connection was instant, and she definitely couldn’t let Luo Li be bullied by those disrespectful elders.

”Ah, forget it, forget it, we were just trying to scare the little girl a bit! Don’t take it seriously...”

The elder from the Demon Clan waved his hand and laughed helplessly, then turned away.

”Cough cough...”

The others also looked embarrassed and awkward.

After all, for these esteemed elders to gang up on a young monk of the Heavenly Fate Realm would indeed be too shameful.

At this moment.

Everyone turned back around to face the direction of the Lord of Blissful Wish.

Beside the red sedan, a blood-robed person slowly spoke, ”In Bliss City, all wishes are granted—fellow cultivators, the Lord of Blissful Wish shows mercy to the world and feels compassion, willing to give everyone a chance for eternal life, a chance for wishes to come true. Do you accept?”

”We are willing...”

The crowd responded excitedly, and a large portion immediately knelt down.

Except for Luo Li.

This time, Nangong Liuyun also knelt down.

After all, she had come to make a wish.

What she sought was the Ancient Demon Violin, which had been missing from the Nangong Family for tens of thousands of years.

A gentle breeze blew, softly fluttering many people’s robes.

The sun was shining brightly.

In the sunlight, the distant Bliss Palace looked even more magnificent and splendid.

”There is wind in the world, coming and going, and it comes and goes with fate. Since you have the fate to enter Bliss City, those who wish to make a wish may receive the blessing of this Lord; those who do not wish, this Lord does not demand!”

The voice of the Lord of Blissful Wish was like a summer breeze, like timely rain sneaking in with the wind at night, carrying powerful magnetism, slowly spreading across the entire Bliss Square.

At this moment, everyone’s mind seemed to be purified, and their expressions became sacred and solemn.

”Good that it’s not demanded.”

Luo Li stood indifferent, pursing her lips, her face breaking into a light smile.

”Each person only has one chance for the blessing!”

A blood-robed person said in a deep voice.

Then he pointed with his hand at a gray-clothed elder in front and said, ”Start with you!”

”Thank you, my lord!”

The gray-clothed elder’s face lit up with joy, instantly scrambled up, stepped over quickly to the red sedan, and kneeled down with a thud.

At this moment, the sheer curtain of the sedan lifted a corner.

A withered hand slowly extended, resting on top of the gray-clothed elder’s head.

”You may make your wish now.”

The gentle voice of the Lord of Blissful Wish came from inside the red sedan.

”I wish to live forever, that’s all.”

The gray-clothed elder closed his eyes, his hands in prayer, and murmured excitedly.

”So be it.”

The Lord of Blissful Wish gently uttered a word, and suddenly his palm radiated a rainbow light.

As brilliant as the rainbow clouds in the sky, dazzling and unsurpassable.

This...

The blessing had begun!

This was truly extraordinary!

All around, the numerous cultivators widened their eyes, growing excited as they watched this scene.

”Mu Qing, do you want to see the real experience?”

Ye Yun’s eyes flashed, looked at Mu Qing, and asked with a gentle smile.

”Master, of course, I want to see.”

Mu Qing quickly spoke.

Her eyes also revealed a look of anticipation.

She was eager to know just what the Lord of Blissful Wish’s so-called empowerment would look like.

Ye Yun suddenly flicked out two fingers, gently tapping Mu Qing’s eyelids.

Mu Qing’s vision blurred, and the next moment, the entire world became clear in her eyes.

She promptly directed her gaze towards that red palanquin.

In front of the red palanquin, under the emaciated hand of the Lord of Blissful Wish, the previously normal elderly man in gray robes had his body’s blood and flesh flowing into that hand like a rapid stream.

After absorbing a large amount of blood and flesh, the emaciated arm seemed to faintly acquire some redness.

The elderly man in gray robes became a white skeleton at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yet.

This elderly man in gray robes knelt stably on the ground, hands clasped, unaware.

A white skeleton clothed kneeling devoutly beside the red palanquin—Mu Qing found it extremely eerie.

The gray-robed elder’s blood and flesh were soon drained dry.

A surge of white energy spewed from the emaciated hand, once again injected into the white skeleton.

”You have attained immortality.”

A gentle voice sounded from within the red palanquin.

The emaciated arm slowly retracted.

”Thank you, Lord of Blissful Wish!”

The gray-robed elder reverently kowtowed thrice towards the red palanquin, then slowly stood up.

He walked leisurely towards the center of the square.

Upon nearing the crowd, the gray-robed elder seemed to recall something, suddenly reaching out to grasp into the void.

Ripples appeared.

A God-tiered Sword was grasped by the gray-robed elder.

”Wishes come true, heart’s desire fulfilled.”

The gray-robed elder smiled slightly, full of spirit, striding away mightily.

Before long, he paused slightly, then vanished into thin air.

The next moment.

The gray-robed elder appeared on the street.

Opposite him stood Gu Changsheng, the drunken Sword Immortal.

The gray-robed elder flicked his sword, chuckling, ”Senior Gu, I now possess a God-tiered Sword.”

”If you desire eternal life, you must remain within Bliss City, do you understand?”

Gu Changsheng didn’t respond to the gray-robed elder’s comment, merely glanced at him and asked with a faint smile.

”Cannot leave?”

The gray-robed elder paused slightly, asking instinctively.

”If leaving were possible, wouldn’t we have left long ago?”

Gu Changsheng sneered.

Gray-robed elder: ”...”

Gu Changsheng took a swig of wine, chuckling, ”This place has food and drink, and whatever you wish comes to mind instantly, what’s not to like? I’ve been cultivating here for eighty thousand years, and now I’m about to break through to the True God Realm!”

”Breakthrough to True God?”

The gray-robed elder’s expression instantly brightened.

In this place, one could attain immortality.

Heavenly treasures were within reach, just a thought away.

On the Cangnan Continent, is there anywhere better than Bliss City?

”I won’t leave either, I’m willing to stay here with the senior!”

The gray-robed elder smiled, clasped his hands in salute.

”Let’s go, let’s have a drink!”

Gu Changsheng laughed heartily, slung an arm around the gray-robed elder, heading towards a tavern.

...

In the midst of their conversation.

On Bliss Square, a few more people received the empowerment from the Lord of Blissful Wish.

The empowerment, with its dazzling phenomena, was so astonishing that it drew envy from other cultivators.

”This is truly frightening!”

Having seen several skeletons form consecutively, Mu Qing withdrew her gaze, sighing with trepidation.

”Is this frightening? You haven’t looked inside the palanquin yet.”

Ye Yun smiled lightly, with profound meaning, suddenly using his finger to tap Mu Qing’s eyes across the air.

Mu Qing’s eyes, at this moment, gained the ability to perceive through illusions.

She quickly looked towards the red palanquin.

Could the Lord of Blissful Wish inside the red palanquin be even more terrifying than these white skeletons?

The next moment.

”This is...”

Seeing the scene inside the palanquin, Mu Qing’s expression dramatically changed, her face instantly turning pale.
