Chapter 39: The True Divide Between Immortals and Mortals
The crowd on the plaza erupted into murmurs, their faces alight with wonder.
“So this is immortality?”
“Such a mighty cultivation system!”
“Do you think I could become an immortal? The thought alone excites me!”
“...”
The undeniable power of immortality had thoroughly captivated the martial artists.
“Damn it!”
A venomous glint flashed in the eyes of Pu Zhi, who had been subdued by Zhang Sanfeng. Lowering his head, he muttered bitterly to himself, “Why wasn’t it me who obtained the immortal inheritance?”
Had the immortal inheritance fallen into his hands rather than Zhang Sanfeng’s, he wouldn’t be in his current state—gravely injured, his zhen qi sealed, and condemned to sweep the grounds of Wudang for ten years.
“I must have that immortal inheritance,” Puzhi vowed silently. “I will become a high and mighty immortal cultivator!”
Nearby, Miejue Shitai sighed inwardly.
When compared to the immortal path, even the Dragon-Slaying Saber feels insignificant, she thought, her heart heavy.
Unlike most martial artists, Miejue was privy to the secret of the Dragon-Slaying Saber. She knew that it, along with the Heaven-Reliant Sword, concealed powerful martial arts techniques and strategic texts. Only by combining the two could their secrets be unlocked.
This goal had driven her for years.@@@@
“...”
The gathered martial artists were left speechless.
Summoning rain? Shifting mountains? Such feats had only existed in their wildest imaginations. To hear Zhang Sanfeng speak of these abilities as attainable for immortal cultivators left them utterly stunned.
“Even at the early stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, one rivals an average Earthly Immortal!”
“At the mid-stage, an immortal is the superior of almost any Earthly Immortal!”
“The late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit doesn’t just rival—it surpasses Earthly Immortals entirely!”
“Beyond that, they can wield spells and divine abilities? It’s hard to fathom!”

Duan Tianya, an elite agent of the Dragon Protection Villa, silently pieced together the puzzle.
“Back when Qin Emperor Ying Zheng ascended to immortality, he was only a Zhixuan Zongshi (Finger Profound Master),” Duan Tianya mused. “Yet his first and only move as an immortal was to annihilate Donghuang Taiyi, a mid-level Earthly Immortal.”
“Clearly, Ying Zheng was not yet at the same level as Zhang Sanfeng. His use of external methods to kill Donghuang Taiyi supports this.”
“It’s likely that Ying Zheng hasn’t even reached the Lianqi Huashen stage. If he had, Donghuang Taiyi would have been defeated without the need for outside aid.”
“Tianya,” Cheng Shifei, standing beside him, whispered eagerly. “Do you think we could become immortal cultivators?”
His restless, adventurous nature made the allure of immortality irresistible.
“I don’t know,” Duan Tianya replied with a sigh. “The Great Ming Dynasty might secure an immortal inheritance, but we’re just secret agents, far from the emperor’s inner circle.”
His voice grew quieter as he added, “Unless immortality becomes commonplace and accessible to all, I doubt we’ll get a chance.”
