I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

The other side.

Long before Jiu Shui first heard about the Time Ancient Tomb projection, he had associated it with a few intriguing places.

How does the river’s matter flow?

The river’s multi-dimensional traversal, exactly how many parallel dimensions are there?

How broad is the monitoring scope of the Supreme Immortal Venerables?

Yet after hearing about Xian’s story, Jiu Shui realized that even Immortal Venerables are not omnipotent.

Otherwise, Xian wouldn’t have risen, challenging the positions of the three Immortal Venerables.

Based on this assumption.

He decided to enter the Time Ancient Tomb, permanently staying in the "past."

Before.

He had always been hiding.

But now it seems, as the painter grows stronger, with a madness snowballing, the pervasive Pseudo-human Calamity, the increasing numbers of pseudo-humans hidden across civilizations, the Embers Disaster intelligence network established, being discovered was only a matter of time.

Might as well emigrate directly.

He even went back once, took his wife and children for a "vacation" abroad.

As for how to disguise as a native ancient cultivator?

His Jiu Shui Divine Technique functions as a flowerpot producing Spiritual Roots, which can alter changes in Spiritual Roots, with a myriad of transformative effects alike.

As long as he dies once more, reforms his foundation, modifies his life structure to prehistoric, unless an Immortal Venerable descends personally, it would be flawless.

As for the prehistoric period being full of high-dimensional True Immortals, highly dangerous?

Actually.

Long ago, during the three thousand years when the "Time Ancient Tomb" started, he participated as a Celestial Soldier, charging at the front line.

As an elite soldier of a Celestial Immortal level, he was killed multiple times, but fortunately, he was quickly revived thanks to his exceptional obsession at birth.

In multi-dimensional space-time, countless dimensions of himself charged together, dying, then resurrecting as the Ghost King.

After several bouts of life-and-death reincarnation, gathering resources from the bodies on the ground, he then broke through the First Layer True Immortal.

Afterward, he used certain means to cultivate the mutated time Spiritual Root of this era, secretly tapping into the River of Time, gradually emigrating to prehistoric times, escaping that doomsday battlefield.

"In this vast starry sky, ten thousand races coexist, heroes are boundless, great eras rise and fall, back then Xian must have hidden step by step, finally bypassing the multi-dimensional vision of the three Immortal Venerables, reaching the apex."

"If I were discovered by the three Immortal Venerables, it would just be another Jiumu Qing, having my life altered, being twisted into a puppet, constantly distorting my timeline."

Jiu Shui continued to live in seclusion, "All beneath Immortal Venerable are like ants, the life timeline of a True Immortal is like a puppet doll trussed up for display, changeable at whim, isn’t this another form of a puppet-master Human God?"

Past, future, neither free, how could this world ever attain freedom?

He occasionally followed the river upstream, with his wife and children, settling in a bustling street.

He became an ordinary man.

He even didn’t meet any other True Immortals anymore.

Because, for a barren and backward remote timeline, True Immortals might not even set foot.

This era’s True Immortals are high-dimensional beings, swimming like big fish across dimensions.

Time gradually passed.

Yet, Jiu Shui took his now immortal wife and children, possessing a long life, moved to another place to live and cultivate.

He was not in a hurry to cultivate, letting things flow naturally.

Reaching the True Immortal level involves constructing a domain, and enlightenment is the hardest part.

He planned to achieve enlightenment of the Ten-layered Law Domain in one go, then seek resources to swiftly breakthrough.

He visited tributary timelines ruled by Heart Water Immortal Venerate, profoundly witnessing the marine world under this Immortal Venerate’s command.

Here, countless True Immortals rise and battle, forced into the legendary Heart Water War.

Latterly, he also arrived at the rivers under Jiumu Immortal Venerate’s rule, witnessing the rise of the later renowned blacksmith Jiumu Qing, born sacred.

Step by step he traveled, settled, experienced this prehistoric era, broadened his perspectives, comprehended truths, savoring the unique customs and culture.

Yet one day, he randomly encountered a unique individual in the vast sea of faces, someone who spotted him: "Little guy, you’re special!"

That person looked at Jiu Shui twice, suddenly said:

"Your cultivation technique is unique, perhaps we can discuss it, lend me the poison you bear to play with, how about it?"

Jiu Shui slightly furrowed his brows.

"Don’t be afraid, you can call me Wei," Wei said.

"I’m merely passing by, have no malice, and having benefitted at your expense means I’ll provide you with some benefits."

Such a figure as Wei, traversing countless timelines, reigning over numerous eras, scheming against all beings, how could he exploit a seemingly special little fellow?

"Follow me."

They arrived during the 7,360,000th year of the Desert War period under the expansive timeline of Lunmu Immortal Venerable, sitting in a tavern within a town.

They ordered several portions of fine wine.

Seeing Jiu Shui’s surprised expression, Wei indignantly said, "Time has long since become a chaotic mess, with various paradoxes, constant covering crossings, distorting historical facts."

"Even though crossing over remains the right of multi-dimensional True Immortals, it’s also their task, for it’s through the traversals of True Immortals that new timeline variables emerge, granting this vast river infinite possibilities."

Jiu Shui thought the same.

Chaotic, messed-up timelines are gone when gone. Because of their crossings, new timelines are being born incessantly.

Creation and destruction, such is a cycle, a self-repairing mechanism of nature.

This era is quite unique.

"You’ve just broken through to the First Layer True Immortal, I’ll guide you on the path ahead as a senior," Wei said.

"First, immerse yourself here – this desert brims with Tao Rhymes left from Immortal Venerable combats, perilous yet endowing infinite opportunities."

"Your Rice Flower Divine Power is quite interesting, leaning towards Lunmu Immortal Venerable’s faction, yet differs significantly."

"But you’re too conservative."

"Don’t limit yourself to a few categories – a healthy high-dimensional True Immortal needs comprehensive development. Each dimension’s self should pursue different paths, cultivating time, space, life, wood, water, wind, thunder, birth, death... cultivate every possibility."

"At this point, you might say, those singular venerable positions have been taken already; if I follow their old paths, I’m destined for no result, at best reaching True Immortal Perfection."

The man calmly countered, "You’re sorely mistaken! Mastery across related domains grants insights into heaven and earth. Today, some obscure Immortal Venerable positions remain incomplete, presenting our sole path – traverse all paths, and yet untouched routes will reveal themselves."

In this era, how could one attain eternity without extraordinary means? Each era’s self is the protagonist, pursuing different paths in cultivation.

Only through exhaustive exploration, trying each path, can one locate the final few genuine venerable positions.

"Thank you, senior," Jiu Shui accepted his fate, seemingly still wanting to express something.

"I’ve guided many interesting cultivators, interesting individuals, I can feel you are unique..." Wei smiled, "Even if discovered by Immortal Venerables, you won’t be another Jiumu Qing."

Wei’s face showed a hint of reflection, "You can escape your fate."

Jiu Shui remained silent inside.

He would indeed never become Jiumu Qing.

Because every time he dies and lives anew, his obsession remains unaltered.

Since people in different times have different obsessions.

Before the Human Ancestor Era, his obsession was to survive stemming from a miserable childhood experience.

After the Human Ancestor Era, his obsession had already been altered.

Thus he peacefully cultivates the multi-dimensional timeline, fearless against any schemes because, as long as he dies once, all hidden contingencies would disappear, allowing the foundation to be remodeled.

Thus, as Jiu Shui arrived in the prehistoric era, he began his adventure.

The multi-dimensional True Immortal countless possibilities of exhaustive exploration let him witness this era’s unique characteristics of civilized cultivators.

Wei, observing Jiu Shui’s figure, "Things are becoming interesting, I have a feeling this kid is a node of the era."

Neither striving nor competing, steady yet wise.

Such people Wei has seen aplenty in high-dimensional space-time, but this one possesses a distinct peculiarity.

"Perhaps, he could claim one of the remaining coveted venerable positions?" He pondered, inexplicably inspired by a thought.
