Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: For Won Only
“Oh? What’s wrong with the Immortality Scripture?” Lin Shen asked in a deep voice.
The woman’s voice softened slightly: “Don’t think that I deliberately tried to harm you. The Immortality Scripture I gave you is entirely accurate, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with it. Its only issue is that it’s not ant for n to practice.”
“What do you an?” Lin Shen was stunned.
The woman chuckled and said, “I only found out after you left that the Immortality Scripture is a cultivation technique specifically designed for won. If n practice it, while it might still have so effect, it will be far inferior to the effect it has on won. Moreover, it cos with a significant drawback.”
Lin Shen stayed silent, rely waiting quietly.
“You’re just like before—unwavering, always keeping your composure as if nothing in the world could faze you. But this ti, you’ve run into a real problem, and it’s one you can’t solve.” The woman sneered coldly. “Don’t think I’m exaggerating; n who train in the Immortality Scripture will find their physiological characteristics gradually transforming into those of won. Eventually, they’ll completely beco won—and that will be their death sentence. I don’t know when exactly you started practicing the Immortality Scripture, but if you’ve already practiced it, your body should be showing so changes. You should notice—aren’t certain male organs becoming smaller and smaller?”
Lin Shen was startled by her words and instinctively thought to check a critical part of his body. But he quickly reacted—there didn’t seem to be any such changes happening.
Still, there was a flicker of concern in Lin Shen’s heart. Maybe it was because he hadn’t practiced the scripture long enough for the transformations to occur.
As he pondered further, Lin Shen felt that the Immortality Scripture he practiced might not have any problems after all. Perhaps the version passed down by The Ancient Realm King had been modified and stripped of its flaws.
“Who told you that the Immortality Scripture is a cultivation technique exclusively for won?” Lin Shen asked coolly.
“Have you ever heard the story of Chang’e flying to the moon?” the woman replied.
“‘Chang’e should regret stealing the elixir, yearning for eternity in the blue heavens.'” Lin Shen recited casually.
The woman said: “Most people only know that Chang’e ascended to immortality by stealing the Immortal Elixir, but they don’t understand that there are no true Immortal Elixirs in this world. Even if there were, the energy contained in such a pill couldn’t be borne by a re mortal body. A mortal who consus such a pill would imdiately die from their body exploding.”
“Are you saying that the legendary Immortal Elixir is the sa as the Immortality Scripture?” Lin Shen mused.
“Exactly. Chang’e’s ascension wasn’t due to consuming so Immortal Elixir but because she practiced the Immortality Scripture, created by the first immortal in this world. Moreover, this technique was crafted specifically for won. Only won can cultivate it.”
The woman continued: “I had no idea before, but after being trapped here for years, I learned that the Immortality Scripture I accidentally obtained is the very technique passed down by Chang’e.”
“You were trapped here, yet you claim to have learned this? How?” Lin Shen pressed.
The woman laughed: “Because I saw Chang’e herself. She told .”
“She’s still alive?” Lin Shen asked, feigning a furrowed brow.
The na ‘Chang’e’ sparked a mory in Lin Shen’s mind—Lin Wan had ntioned it before. Back then, Lin Wan said that she hadn’t t many people in the Celestial Court, but one of them was a woman who mistakenly entered the court, called Chang’e.
After Lin Shen entered the Celestial Court himself, he began to doubt many of Lin Wan’s claims.
But thinking about it now, perhaps the Celestial Court Lin Wan referred to wasn’t the Six Great Star Regions but the true Celestial Court.
If that were the case, it seed to make sense.
“Have you grown senile? Those who cultivate the Immortality Scripture achieve undying immortality—they neither age nor die—so how could she die so easily?” The woman said with a hint of disdain. “Besides, she’s already beco a true immortal, risen to the Immortal Class. You wouldn’t have guessed, but the worn-down shrine closest to here in the southeast direction—that abandoned place—belongs to Chang’e.”
“That I truly hadn’t expected.” Lin Shen sighed softly.
“I discussed many matters concerning the Immortality Scripture with Chang’e. She told a lot about it, including that for n, complete transformation into a woman signifies death. She also shared a thod to resolve this issue. If you don’t want to die, free from this place, and I’ll share the solution with you.” The woman revealed her true intent.
“Recite the Immortality Scripture again. Let check if I made any mistakes in cultivating it.” Lin Shen said in a low voice.
“A calculating man like you would hardly make a mistake.” The woman teased.
Seeing Lin Shen remain silent, the woman hesitated for a mont before reciting the Immortality Scripture aloud.
Lin Shen had initially held a glimr of hope that the Immortality Scripture he practiced might have been modified by The Ancient Realm King.
But after hearing the woman’s recitation, his heart sank halfway into despair.
The Scripture he practiced was identical to the one she read—word for word, without a single discrepancy.
“The Ancient Realm King sure was a conniving bastard. Of the three cultivation techniques he left behind, two have fatal flaws! Unbelievable! Could Stepping on the Immortal Court have issues too?” Lin Shen thought uneasily.
If cultivating the Immortality Scripture carried risks such as deviation, Lin Shen wouldn’t be too worried. After all, he possessed the Evolution Theory and was confident he could withstand such dangers.
But if the Immortality Scripture slowly turned him into a woman, eventually changing him entirely—could the Evolution Theory counteract that kind of transformation? Lin Shen couldn’t be sure.
Lin Shen didn’t want to beco a woman. The main issue was that once cultivated, the Immortality Scripture operated uncontrollably. Even in sleep, while all other bodily functions rested, it continued to refine itself without pause. He couldn’t stop it, no matter how hard he tried.
Although his body hadn’t shown any changes yet, who could guarantee that wouldn’t happen eventually?
“So, did you cultivate incorrectly?” The woman jeered after finishing her recitation.
“No.” Lin Shen admitted helplessly.
“Help break free, and I’ll give you the solution. After that, we’re even—you take your path, and I’ll walk mine.” The woman spoke as though certain Lin Shen would aid her.
“Tell the thod first.” Lin Shen was too cautious to agree outright; for one, he feared the woman might turn on him once freed, and for another, he wasn’t The Ancient Realm King—he didn’t know how to release her.
If Chang’e herself had once appeared here but didn’t rescue her, there had to be a deeper issue—either this woman was problematic, or freeing her would be extraordinarily difficult.
“Do you think I’m that foolish? Still trusting you? Either help , or leave. I’ll wait for the day you turn into a woman and perish.” The woman laughed bitterly.
Lin Shen fell into deep thought. He genuinely wanted to obtain the thod—just in case.
But freeing this woman? He lacked the ans to do it. And even if he could, he didn’t dare act recklessly.
“Do you still rember Stepping on the Immortal Court?” Lin Shen suddenly asked.
