"Alas..."
A sudden sigh echoed through the hall, filled with age and a forlorn air.
"Who's there! Who is it!" Gao Fei's complexion changed.
Jiang Qilong was also startled, stepping back several paces and then taking a defensive stance, his eyes sweeping around.
"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity, but who knows that the path to becoming an immortal has been severed, and mortals, no matter how hard they try, cannot beco immortals." The aged voice reverberated back and forth in the hall.
"Who is speaking? Could you please show yourself?" Gao Fei asked politely.
"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity, but who knows that the path to becoming an immortal has been severed, and mortals will never beco immortals, no matter how hard they try."
"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity, but who knows that the path to becoming an immortal has already been severed..."
"Mortals cultivate immortality..."
The old voice kept repeating the sa sentence.
"Sothing's odd," Jiang Qilong said in a deep voice. "The other party keeps repeating the sa sentence... the tone and intonation are exactly the sa..."
"Senior? We an no offense," Gao Fei called out loudly. "We entered here inadvertently. If you are displeased, we will leave imdiately."
"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity..."
"Please, senior, reveal yourself."
"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity..."
"Senior..."
"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity..."
...
"Sothing's not right," Gao Fei slowly furrowed his brows. "Sothing's very wrong; we might have been deceived."
"Deceived?" Jiang Qilong was taken aback. "What do you an?"
"There's no one here."
"But soone was clearly speaking, weren't they?"
"It must be a kind of playback, an echo of a voice."
"Playback?"
"You can think of it as a kind of divine skill."
"Divine skill?"
"Here's what I think. So years ago, a senior used great divine power to preserve their voice. Whenever soone enters this hall, that senior's voice would play..."
"What purpose did he have in doing this?"
"To hint, or rather, to warn."
"Warn?"
"Listen closely... Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity, but who knows that the path to becoming an immortal has already been severed, and mortals, no matter how hard they try, will never beco immortals... The senior is using this thod to tell the later generations...
the path to becoming an immortal is severed, mortals will never beco immortals, no matter how hard they try." Gao Fei enunciated every word.
"That's impossible, right?" Jiang Qilong's face twitched. "How could the path to becoming an immortal be severed? This is absolutely impossible! It has been passed down since ancient tis that if one cultivates to the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection, they will face the Great Heavenly Tribulation, and upon overcoming it, they will be reborn and ascend to the Immortal Realm."
Gao Fei turned, looking solemnly at Jiang Qilong: "Let ask you, have you ever seen soone ascend to the Immortal Realm with your own eyes?"
Jiang Qilong shook his head: "No."
"Let ask you again, have you heard of anyone ascending to the Immortal Realm?"
"Well... the ancient texts ntion it, in the Ancient Tis..."
"I'm talking about now."
"Now... I have not heard of it..." As he said this, Jiang Qilong added another sentence: "To my knowledge, it's been tens of thousands of years since anyone ascended to the Immortal Realm."
"Tens of thousands of years... It's been a long ti," Gao Fei closed his eyes, gently exhaling a breath of stale air, "In tens of thousands of years, not a single person has beco an immortal. Do you think that's normal?"
"This... It does seem sowhat abnormal."
"Perhaps the path to becoming an immortal has truly been severed."
"If this news were to get out, it would definitely cause a huge sensation."
"Don't rush," Gao Fei waved his hand, "This is just speculation, whether it's true or not still needs further verification."
"How do we verify it?" Jiang Qilong asked.
"The best way is to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection, then face the Great Heavenly Tribulation. By then, we'll know if the path to becoming an immortal is really severed or not."
"Isn't that stating the obvious?" Jiang Qilong curled his lips, "We are currently at Golden Core Realm Cultivation, far from the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection." He then added, "It's possible we might never cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Period in this lifeti."
Gao Fei let out a bitter smile, "This so-called Immortal Palace! It's all flashy and eye-catching on the outside, but the inside is a completely different scene, the contrast is just too great."
"This Immortal Palace... is not a real Immortal Palace... It just bears the na of one," Jiang Qilong said in a twisted way.
"All for naught," Gao Fei sighed, "I thought I had stumbled upon a great deal, but who knew..."
"We still made so gains," Jiang Qilong said, "At least we discovered a great secret about becoming an immortal."
"Let's look around so more, maybe there are treasures hidden in other places."
"That's what I was thinking too."
For the next period of ti, the two began to wander around the Immortal Palace.
"Did we really co here for nothing?" Jiang Qilong was sowhat unwilling to accept that.
"Eh? What is that?" Gao Fei suddenly voiced his surprise.
"What? What did you find?" Jiang Qilong asked urgently.
Gao Fei took a few steps forward, then pressed a few spots on the wall, "Click, click, click..." The smooth and even wall suddenly began to tremble, slowly moving to one side under Jiang Qilong's astonished gaze.
"How did you discover this?" Jiang Qilong's face was full of surprise, "How did you know that this wall could move?"
"You want to know?"
"Of course I want to know."
"Really want to know?"
"Yes!"
"Sorry, I can't tell you."
"Are you playing with !"
...
As the wall moved aside, it revealed a hidden chamber with an iron rack placed inside it. On the rack, there were several small boxes.
"It's not another illusion, is it?" Jiang Qilong murmured.
Gao Fei's eyes flashed, "It's not an illusion! This ti it's real!" While he spoke, Gao Fei stepped into the hidden chamber.
"Not an illusion?" Jiang Qilong's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly rushed into the chamber, "Wow, it's really not an illusion!" He stretched out his hands and firmly grasped the iron rack, "Haha… We finally found the treasure." Jiang Qilong reached for the small boxes on the rack, "Wonder what's inside these little boxes, hope they contain incredible treasures."
"Clap!"
Gao Fei slapped Jiang Qilong's hand away, "Don't touch randomly."
"What are you doing!" Jiang Qilong's eyes widened, "Are you trying to hog it all for yourself?"
"Are you brain-dead?" Gao Fei snorted, "With your clumsy hands, you want to touch the boxes, aren't you afraid of triggering so trap?"
"What trap? Don't scare ."
"Am I scaring you? I'm reminding you! This place is full of strangeness, we must be extrely cautious, don't act rashly. If we trigger any serious chanisms, we could both die here."
"You just keep scaring ," Jiang Qilong's eyes were still wide, but his tone had softened sowhat.
