Absolute Destiny Game

[System prompt]: Your Ancient Qi Cultivation Technique level has increased, you have successfully unlocked the Tenth Realm — Ascension Realm. Unlocked Legendary Trait [Ascension to Immortality].

Success! Next, let's see if it can ascend.

Logically speaking, since I have the skill, I should be able to ascend.

Xiao Jie opens the skill list, and sure enough, there's a new legendary trait.

Trait 10: Ascension to Immortality — Rising mist, ascend away from the mortal world, attain eternal immortality at the Jade Pavilion of Purple Palace. (Click to view specific effects)

The effect is just one, which is achieving Ascension to Immortality, thus transcending the mundane world, achieving the power of an eternal immortal.

The description makes Xiao Jie feel quite excited, at least it seems there are no apparent problems.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jie clicks the Ascension to Immortality icon with his mouse.

Instantly, spiritual energy surges madly within his body, the overflowing spiritual energy swirls around his body forming a massive vortex, continuously spinning, pouring into and out of his body like a torrent constantly washing over his flesh, the powerful force causing Xiao Jie to slowly lift off the ground.

This surging vast spiritual energy transformed his flesh, purifying his primordial spirit, his Five Elements Magic Robe and long hair danced wildly with the spiritual energy, the whole transformation resembling a Super Saiyan transformation.

Xiao Jie felt a hint of anticipation sprouting in his heart, yet the next second, there was an unusual reaction in the flesh beneath the robe, as if countless worms were madly wriggling inside his body, his entire body convulsed.

The body constantly expands, twists, bulges one moment, then sinks in the next.

Oh no!

Xiao Jie realized that they were not worms, but the blood and flesh within undergoing changes, his body has been completely transformed by demon power into a demon spirit body, no longer human, but a special form he couldn't comprehend, capable of changing into different demon beasts based on thoughts.

Clearly, this power is starkly opposed to the power of Ascension to Immortality.

Stimulated by Ascension Power, the Demon Spirit Power inside him was resisting it.

Rip, a giant wing sprouted from his back, rip, one hand turned into a massive wolf claw, rip, another hand turned into a tiger claw.

Xiao Jie's in-game character struggled in the air, constantly changing.

His limbs changed, body transformed, head altered as well.

The entire being appeared as a cobbled-together bio monster, each part continuously changing shape.

It truly doesn't work! Xiao Jie sighed inwardly, though he expected this result, the failure was still disappointing.

He dared not continue, fearing if the transformations kept going, he would truly turn into a monster.

He could only release the skill icon, the spiritual energy vortex gradually dissipated, the dispersed energy reabsorbed into the body, and the twisted monstrous flesh, eventually returned to human form.

[System prompt]: Your ascension failed, your Qi Refining Skill level has decreased.

[System prompt]: Your 'Enlightenment' state has been triggered, you have gained a 'Satori'!

Xiao Jie quickly checked his Spiritual Energy Value, the failed ascension caused him to lose over a thousand spiritual energy, the Qi Refining Skill level dropped back to the Ninth Layer — 90% state.

This issue isn't major, after killing a few more demons, he can practice back to the Tenth Layer again, actually, Xiao Jie had quite a number of Demon Cores in his bag for refining.

But the crux of the failed ascension had no solution in sight, before solving this issue, ascension obviously couldn't succeed.

What surprised Xiao Jie pleasantly was the moment of Satori.

[Moment of Enlightenment]: You successfully mastered the ability to transform into a fierce tiger and True Dragon, thus you have deeper understanding of Tiger Roar Skill, and Dragon Roar Technique, during ascension your internal Mountain Lord Essence and True Dragon Essence resonated, your Tiger Roar Skill and Dragon Roar Technique hence completed fusion, thereby achieved Supreme Internal Power [Tiger Roar Dragon Cry Divine Skill].

Xiao Jie was speechless, although he turned to the Magic System now, unexpectedly he mastered a Supreme Divine Skill.

Still better than nothing.

[Tiger Roar Dragon Cry Divine Skill (Inner Power/Supreme Divine Skill)

Basic effect: Each layer of power increases your Inner Power Value limit by 300 points.

Skill Body Effect 1: Tiger Roar Dragon Cry. Each layer of power increases the power of your Roar Skills by 30%, Inner Power Value recovery speed by 30%.

Skill Body Effect 2: Dragon Soaring and Tiger Leaping. Each layer of power increases your agility, strength by 5 points each, enhances your Qinggong skill effect by 10%.

Inner Strength introduction: Integrate Tiger and Dragon Strength into Internal Cultivation Methods, thus attaining mystical skills through enlightenment, using fierce Tiger Roar and mighty Dragon Cry, this is the Supreme Skill of Outer King and Inner Saint.]

This Inner Strength is truly powerful, since it's formed from the fusion of two full-level Inner Strengths, Xiao Jie instantly gained the full-level Tiger Roar Dragon Cry Divine Skill, the Inner Power Value limit increased by over a thousand.

Once the Skill Body was activated, strength and agility soared by 50 points each, with multiple effects of Qinggong, Roar, and energy recovery, this is stronger than the combined Tiger Roar Skill and Dragon Roar Technique before.

Not bad, at least it counts as a consolation prize.

Xiao Jie switched the Skill Body to Tiger Roar Dragon Cry Divine Skill, and immediately pondered the methods of becoming immortal again.

Thinking aloud while in YY, he said, "Sorry everyone, it really can't ascend, I just tried out this Ascension to Immortality feature, hoping it might work, but almost turned into a monster..."

Dida La said, "Alright, that Master Hongchen really wasn't lying, what now?"

Bai Ze said, "Don't rush, there's bound to be a way, maybe inside the Heavenly Waterfall Cave there are clues for becoming immortal, why don't you search for them."

Xiao Jie felt the possibility was slim, if there truly were shortcuts to immortality, Master Hongchen wouldn't have been stuck here for tens of thousands of years.

But he didn't refuse and started searching immediately.

However, while he found considerable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the cave, including ancient carvings left by Ancient Qi Refiners, there were absolutely no clues about achieving immortality.

Making a round, Xiao Jie returned to the Heavenly Pit.

Looking at the avatars in YY, Xiao Jie felt a sense of guilt.

Instead, his teammates started to console him.

"If you can't find it, so be it, as long as you strive, it's fine, we believe you will succeed someday." Came from Wentian Wuji in YY.

"True, since we dare risk life to support you, it's because we believe in your strength." Xia Yi the Unrivaled added.

"Feng, you can definitely do it!" I Want to Be Immortal said with certainty.

"Brother Sui Feng, I'm counting on you to save us, honestly, I'm curious what dying feels like." Hao Mie's voice was quite candid, with a touch of melancholy.

"Feng, make sure to become immortal, and remember to document the strategy, so when we are resurrected, we can also taste immortality." Bai Ze's attitude was evidently good, even teasing a little in his tone.

"Certainly!" Xiao Jie said solemnly.

"Then I can go ease my mind. I need to handle my affairs." Jiu Jianxian said ruefully.

"I've already planned things, just one phone call away."

"Brother Sui Feng — I trust you can do it."

"Recall, you bear not just one person..." Ye Luo remarked last.

One by one, they each left final words of encouragement, then disappeared from the YY channel.

Until the last one vanished.

Xiao Jie watched the darkened channel avatars, remaining silent for a moment.

Suddenly, footsteps caused Xiao Jie's expression to change slightly.

"Someone's coming — the person who ran earlier." The avatar guarding the cave entrance alerted.

Strangely enough, this avatar mimicked Xiao Jie's tone and way of speaking perfectly, making it feel odd as if he was being impersonated.

But it was indeed very useful.

Xiao Jie turned around and saw a Flying Thief sneaking cautiously into the cave.
