What If I Can't Die?



"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Di."

Song Shi was grateful.

Although he had devoured the soul of the Thunder Immortal Monarch and knew about the Ascended Immortal Gathering, he naturally would not hold back when this immortal was so polite.

After Di Jing heard this, he was full of smiles.

"You can cultivate in the pool. Call me if you need anything."

He did not disturb Song Shi anymore. He had said this just now because he felt that Song Shi had potential and wanted to build a good relationship with him in advance. He was not too enthusiastic or even fawn over him.

With a flash of immortal light, he disappeared from the side of the pool.

The surroundings fell silent. Song Shi closed his eyes and carefully sensed the world around him. Coupled with the pool water, he removed the otherworldly aura from his body.

The effect of this pool water was similar to the Mortal Cleansing Pills of the Mystic Spirit Realm, but it was much more advanced and the power contained in it was stronger. He felt as if he had been reborn.

At the same time, he was also considering the Ascended Immortal Gathering.

In his opinion, this was actually the various large factions in the Immortal World fighting for ascenders to recruit disciples from among the ascenders.

Due to the poor conditions in the lower realm, those who could ascend were basically talented people. Otherwise, they were either tenacious or had good fortune. Their growth far exceeded that of the native immortals, so they were rather valued.

As long as one was valued by a high-level immortal sect at the Ascended Immortal Gathering, they would immediately have a special identity and obtain a high status and rich cultivation resources.

Compared to coming to an unfamiliar place and working hard by himself, this method was really too good. No ascender would reject it unless there was a problem.

There was indeed something wrong with Song Shi, but he would not show it. He had to brace himself to participate in the Ascended Immortal Gathering and be investigated by the various immortal sects as if they were selecting disciples.

Under the influence of the Mortal Transformation Pool, Song Shi felt his entire body relax. He fused more with the surrounding world and could gradually sense the Law Essence Qi of this world.

He soaked in the pool water for seven days and seven nights in one go. At the end, he felt like he was floating. He casually circulated his cultivation technique, and wisps of immortal energy obediently surged over from the surroundings.

Song Shi felt comfortable all over. He could not help but stretch and let out a long breath.

"How is it? Do you feel like you've been reborn?"

Di Ling appeared beside the pool and smiled at Song Shi.

"I do have such a feeling. We're setting off now?" Song Shi thought that the Ascended Immortal Gathering was about to begin.

"It's still early. Although there are often people ascending in the lower realm, there aren't many of them. The Ascended Immortal Gathering will only open once every ten years or so."

Di Ling shook his head. "You still have to wait here for three years. When the time comes, you will follow the others to meet the envoys of the various sects."

Song Shi glanced outside. "You can't leave?"

"Not for the time being. You have yet to obtain an identity. If you run around, you will easily be thought of as an unregistered person."

Di Ling said something important, "Our Immortal World is different from your lower realm. We are more strict with immortals. Every immortal will have their identity confirmed."

"Alright, then I'll continue cultivating."

Song Shi was not in a hurry. To an existence like him, three years was just a small seclusion.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist, come up. If you cultivate in this square, you can only stay in the Mortal Transformation Pool for seven days." Di Ling reminded.

Song Shi did not stay still. The pool water only allowed him to adapt to this world.

He took a step forward and instinctively wanted to use his divine power. However, he realized that his strength could not form a divine power here. His expression changed slightly as he walked to the side of the pool.

"Hehe, this is an Anti-Spell area. Without permission, it's forbidden to use spells and divine powers."

Di Ling explained.

"But I can cultivate?" Song Shi asked curiously.

"This is a privilege specially given to you. If it were someone else who barged in here without permission, they wouldn't even be able to absorb immortal energy."

Di Ling's expression became more complacent. "This is also a rule deliberately set by the Immortal Court to prevent anyone from destroying the Ascension Platform."

"Amazing."

Song Shi only said one word.

This method was indeed powerful and exceeded his understanding of Laws. It was completely a rule.

The most terrifying thing was that he actually did not feel much. It was as if this was the case here to begin with. If not for the fact that he wanted to use Divine Teleportation Footwork, he might not have discovered it at this moment.

To be able to set up such a place, it was definitely not a simple existence.

At this moment, Di Ling said, "I didn't want to disturb you too much previously and didn't have the time to ask how I should address you. Which lower realm are you from? I'll register you first."

"Song Shi, Mystic Spirit Realm."

Song Shi, who was sizing up the immortal talisman engraved on the square, replied.

"Mystic Spirit Realm? There are many lower realms with similar names."

Di Ling muttered and took out a jade token. After activating it, he outlined it with his fingers. The jade token immediately lit up and Song Shi's name appeared.

Di Ling immediately shot out a Dharma Power and handed the jade token to Song Shi. "Take this first. It can be used as a temporary identity token. It's useful at the Ascended Immortal Gathering."

"Thanks a lot."

Song Shi cupped his fists and took it. He held the token and observed it. He realized that it was an ordinary immortal jade engraved with special runes.

"I'll go cultivate at the side."

Song Shi had some understanding of the Immortal World through the Thunder Immortal Monarch's memories. He was not in a hurry to ask anything and immediately sat down to meditate and cultivate.

Di Ling looked at Song Shi in surprise. "It seems that Fellow Daoist has some understanding of the situation in our Immortal World."

He had been here for many years and rarely did he not ask about the situation in the Immortal World. This person did not even ask about the Ascended Immortal Gathering.

"I think there will be more people ascending. We'll listen together then."

Song Shi explained.

"That's true. You're quite calm. I wonder if we can receive one or two more in the next three years."

Di Ling admired Song Shi's calmness. If it were him, there would probably be no less than ten questions.

"If you activate the token, it can form a unique space for you to cultivate. It will be more convenient."

Di Ling reminded kindly.

Song Shi was stunned for a moment. According to the other party's instructions, a circle of white immortal light was indeed released and enveloped him. From the outside, it did not look realistic.

This way, when he circulated his cultivation technique, he would not be completely exposed to Di Ling.

The latter had no intention of peeking at his cultivation technique. He turned around and left. Clearly, he felt that since he came from the lower realm, no matter how powerful his cultivation technique was, it could not be that powerful.

Song Shi smiled and circulated the Chaotic Heaven Technique to begin absorbing immortal energy.

This was an energy that was higher than Spiritual Qi. After refining it, his Dharmic Power began to transform into the so-called Immortal Power.

In fact, Immortal Power was also Dharma Power, but it was stronger. After fusing with Laws, it would be at its strongest state.

Song Shi tried to communicate with Wuyou, but the latter ignored him and did not secretly absorb immortal energy. Song Shi guessed that the laws pervading this place were too powerful, so Wuyou did not dare to act recklessly.

As he cultivated, time quickly passed. After more than two years, the square he was in suddenly shook. A brilliant beam of light broke through the void and descended from the sky.

Above the pool water, an unconscious figure appeared in the light beam and fell into the water.

"Ten years are almost up. There really is another one. Now you have a companion."

Di Ling appeared with a smile. "Look, this person can't compare to you. They fainted directly."
