Chapter 1126: Chapter 15: Immortal Companions Roaming Freely Across Heaven and Earth
Ti quietly slipped away in the calm, and before he knew it, it was the next morning. Xiao Jie sat cross-legged in the living room, ticulously scanning every corner within a ten-mile radius for one last ti. A mont later, he sighed softly with a hint of regret—there really wasn’t any shortsighted fool daring to provoke this newly promoted Immortal and court disaster.
“Alright,” he shrugged, it seed that true idiots were not as nurous as he had imagined. Of course, it was more likely that those at the pinnacle who were aware of his identity and capable of taking action had no true fools among their decision-makers, fully understanding the risks of rashly testing an Immortal.
“What a pity, I was hoping to experience that ‘kill the chicken to warn the monkey,’ test the waters kind of feeling.” A faint disappointnt swept over his heart. After all, having extraordinary power but no place to wield it always felt like sothing was missing.
Not even a chance to show off, alas.
However, after thinking it over, this was also good, at least it saved him from a lot of unnecessary troubles, leaving him in peace.
Putting aside his thoughts, Xiao Jie had a simple breakfast and once again lay down in the ga cabin. As the familiar white light flashed before his eyes, his consciousness traversed, and his figure had already returned to the tranquil and peaceful Ginkgo Village.
As far as his eyes could see, he could see from afar that that brat Yuan Bai was playing chess with the Old Village Chief under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. The Old Village Chief was frowning, staring at the chessboard and contemplating hard, clearly losing more often than winning, beaten by Yuan Bai to the point of casting away his armor. Xiao Jie smiled knowingly and turned his gaze to the other side, only to see his Avatar sitting at a wooden table with Hao Mie, Jiu Jianxian, Dida La, Wentian Wuji, and other old teammates, having a lively breakfast.
The Avatar was patting his chest, speaking boldly: “You all just train boldly, with watching over you, I guarantee your safety, not even a single hair will be hard!”
“Haha, then thank you ‘Xiao Feng’ for taking care of us!” Jiu Jianxian chid in cleverly from the side, with a face full of smiles.
Xiao Jie couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard this, tsk tsk, it’s only been two days, and even his Avatar has beco a well-respected ‘Xiao Feng’ within the team.
“Good morning, everyone.” Xiao Jie stepped forward and greeted.
However, as soon as he appeared, the originally lively and relaxed breakfast atmosphere instantly changed. Except for the Avatar, who was still lounging leisurely, Hao Ge, Jiu Jianxian, Dida La, Wentian Wuji, and the others all subconsciously restrained their smiles, their attitudes becoming serious and slightly respectful, with even a hint of awe that they couldn’t quite conceal, and they all instinctively lowered their breaths.
Seeing this, Xiao Jie found it sowhat speechless. Though they were all old friends who had fought side by side, he didn’t expect that once he beca an Immortal, everyone’s attitude toward him would change so drastically. But he also understood, after all, there is a difference between mortals and Immortals, and once one’s identity and status undergo such an earth-shattering change, even the closest relationships find it hard to maintain the sa unguarded casualness as before.
Glancing around, the only one who could still maintain the previous kind of natural attitude was probably An Ran.
“Hey, good morning!” Upon seeing him, An Ran imdiately bead with a smile, naturally walking up to him, affectionately taking his hand, and wearing a face of unabashed closeness with a hint of a teasing expression.
Xiao Jie’s heart fluttered slightly, as he hadn’t felt anything particularly special when he was with An Ran in his Immortal Spirit Body before, even when they shared intimate monts, he remained indifferent.
However, now in his flesh and blood body, there arose a slight sense of oddness, especially when their hands clasped, feeling the warmth of the body in his hand, Xiao Jie’s mind couldn’t help but recall the delightful scene within the stone fortress atop Red Fla Peak.
His heart even began to stir slightly.
“How has everyone’s cultivation been lately? Any progress?” Xiao Jie asked as he naturally held An Ran’s hand and turned to the others.
Wentian Wuji straightened his expression and earnestly replied: “It’s been very good! Although we are all still stuck at the bottleneck of Level 9 and unable to advance, we’ve beco much more proficient in understanding and utilizing our abilities. So skills we had grasped in the past have also awakened or been optimized under the guidance of three Immortal Masters.”
He paused, his tone carrying a hint of longing: “Moreover, we’ve learned quite a bit about the foundational Magic Skills of Spiritual Energy manipulation from Senior Lin, Senior Wu, and Senior Su. The greatest difference between Immortals and mortals is that Immortals can directly perceive, absorb, and control nature’s spiritual energy itself. Even Immortals like Senior Wu who take the martial path or Senior Lin who prove the path with the sword can manipulate vast spiritual energy with Martial Arts or Sword Intent to unleash imnsely powerful Immortal Killing Techniques.”
“If we can initially grasp the technique of utilizing Spiritual Energy, it will undoubtedly play a key role in pointing out the direction for our future pursuit of the Immortal Path. With ti and focused cultivation, perhaps there truly is a day when we can glimpse the Immortal Gate,” Wentian Wuji said with a confident sparkle in his eyes.
However, the others were evidently not as optimistic and confident as he was.
Dida La scratched his head, helplessly saying: “I think it’s difficult! That so-called nature’s spiritual energy is so epheral, I can’t feel it at all! It feels easier to just learn a few practical spells honestly.”
Xiao Jie glanced at Dida La and found that compared to his once vague and muddled look upon just reviving, his eyes were now much livelier and his mind clearer. It seed that his soul indeed had recovered quite well.
