As expected...
After seeing this scene, the Ding Family Ancestor thought to himself.
When Xu Xing had co to Jing'an County twice to accumulate virtue, the Ding Family Ancestor had already beco suspicious of Xu Xing's actions. He believed Xu Xing knew the thod to beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal.
However, a suspicion was just a suspicion; he wasn't entirely certain if Xu Xing had truly beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal.
Furthermore, Xu Xing's background was extraordinary, and he had the support of Mount Wanshou. If Xu Xing was unwilling to tell him, it would be difficult for him to press for answers.
This ti, Xu Xing had returned to Jing'an County to accumulate virtue again. No matter how slow-witted the Ding Family Ancestor might be, he could guess there was an eighty to ninety percent chance Xu Xing had already beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal.
"Jing Ren, what exactly is the path to becoming a Fortune Virtue Immortal?" the Ding Family Ancestor asked, his voice trembling slightly with urgency.
He had been stuck at his cultivation bottleneck for countless millennia. If he could beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal, he could shatter these shackles and have the possibility of advancing further.
"This thod..." Xu Xing shook his head and sighed inwardly before explaining the thod to beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal.
He said, "Accumulating virtue is only one aspect. More importantly, one must gain the recognition of heaven and earth and already possess an existing Rank to pursue the Fortune Virtue Immortal Status."
Ranks are profoundly mysterious.
If I hadn't cultivated the Corpse Liberation Immortal path, I probably wouldn't have been able to beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal either.
Corpse Liberation Immortals are third-grade Immortals.
Earth Immortals are second-grade Immortals.
Heavenly Immortals are first-grade Immortals.
It all happens step by step, without any shortcuts.
Rank is the key to unlocking the door to becoming a Fortune Virtue Immortal.
"Rank..." The Ding Family Ancestor fell into deep thought. He had seen records of Ranks in the classics before; the origin of each Rank was related to the ancient Heavenly Court.
However, the Heavenly Court had long since collapsed, leaving only ruins. The various major Immortal Worlds it once governed were now ruled by nurous Immortal Courts within their own respective realms. mories of the Heavenly Court, including the mystery of Ranks, had long been buried in the river of history.
After thinking for a mont, the Ding Family Ancestor tentatively looked at Xu Xing. "Jing Ren, how did you obtain your Rank?"
"An old Daoist imparted it to when I was young," Xu Xing answered concisely.
His words weren't entirely false. The path of the Corpse Liberation Immortal he learned in his first world was indeed passed on to him by the Daoist master of the Dragon Gate Sect. At that ti, compared to his current age, he was indeed young.
The Ding Family Ancestor frowned upon hearing this but didn't press further.
If Xu Xing shared how to obtain a Rank, it wouldn't negatively affect Xu Xing in any way, so he probably wouldn't deliberately conceal it. It could only an... the way Xu Xing obtained his 'Rank' was too much a matter of serendipity, sothing he himself would find difficult to replicate.
"If I can find the Fortune Virtue Immortal that Ancestor saw, perhaps... I can learn from him the thod for you to beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal..." Xu Xing said with a smile.
"Truly?" Hearing Xu Xing's words, the Ding Family Ancestor's heart stirred, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
So secrets unknown to the common world are nothing special within certain circles.
If Xu Xing can establish contact with that Fortune Virtue Immortal, he might be able to learn sothing from that circle. At that point... it would also be beneficial to .
"However... if you want to reveal the whereabouts of that Fortune Virtue Immortal, Jing Ren, you must make a Dao Oath to . You must swear that once you learn the thod to beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal, or the thod to obtain a Rank, you will imdiately inform ."
This ti, the Ding Family Ancestor was more shrewd. He didn't directly tell Xu Xing the Fortune Virtue Immortal's location but instead had Xu Xing make an oath before he would divulge it.
The Ding Family Ancestor's mindset had shifted. He no longer saw Xu Xing as rely a descendant of his bloodline, but rather... as a powerful expert on par with himself.
Consequently, every decision he made now had to be approached with caution to avoid being outmaneuvered or taken advantage of.
"Naturally," Xu Xing replied, nodding. He then raised his hand and made the corresponding Dao Oath.
Judging from the visions of the Fate Deduction, organizations like the Jade Sky Immortal Court were extrely keen to recruit Immortals who possessed Ranks into their courts. Therefore, it was conceivable that they wouldn't be overly secretive about the thods for obtaining Ranks.
Lower-grade Ranks weren't necessarily valuable either.
His own advancent from a third-grade Corpse Liberation Immortal to a first-grade Fortune Virtue Immortal had relied more on the assistance of the Immortal Treasure, the Bronze Ancient Mirror...
Seeing Xu Xing readily make the Dao Oath, the Ding Family Ancestor looked satisfied. He imdiately recounted his past encounter with a Fortune Virtue Immortal.
"I, this old ancestor, was not originally a native of Great Cang, nor was I from the Ten Thousand Universe Fairy Nation."
"I was born in the Yaoyue Immortal Kingdom. There, twelve powerful families reside, each possessing at least one Void Immortal Realm expert. These twelve families are revered as the Twelve Great Chambers of Yaoyue."
"Among these twelve families, one bore the surna Ding. And I was a direct scion of the Fifth Branch of this Ding Family..."
The Ding Family Ancestor's eyes filled with reminiscence as he spoke slowly.
"I encountered the Fortune Virtue Immortal... when I was over three thousand five hundred years old."
"At that ti, I had just reached the God Transformation Realm. I tead up with several disciples from my family to gather spirit materials at the Dimming Pool, and we chanced upon a battle between two immortal gods..."
As he spoke, the Ding Family Ancestor took out a jade slip and infused a wisp of his divine sense into it.
Xu Xing pressed the jade slip to his forehead and instantly witnessed the battle between immortal gods that the Ding Family Ancestor had seen that day.
The scene of this battle between immortal gods was brief, lasting only five breaths. Two male immortals in archaic robes confronted each other. The void around them shattered under the pressure of their imnse auras, with spatial rifts cracking open one after another.
Then, their conversation followed.
"Guan Ang, do you think that just because you've beco a Fortune Virtue Immortal, you're confident enough to snatch the Fallen Sky Stone from my grasp?"
