The First Immortal of Destiny

Regarding the Master of Death Jaw, Guan Ling did not reveal much.

She bluntly informed Shen Mo and Chen Mengze that knowing "too much" of the truth could obstruct their Path Heart, and it was not necessarily a good thing!

Thus, Guan Ling merely mentioned a few pieces of information about her master and adversaries.

According to Guan Ling,

The Master of Death Jaw, like Shen Mo and Chen Mengze, was not originally from the Universal Realm but ascended to the Immortal Realm from a world on the brink of complete decline.

She had just attained the Way and immediately cultivated into a Divine Immortal;

Later, her achievements were fulfilled, and having done great deeds for the heavens and the earth, she was bestowed with a heavenly book and became a person of the Heavenly Immortal realm!

The "heavens and earth" mentioned by Guan Ling included not only the Universal Realm but also numerous lower realms, the Primordial Realm, Cancering Realm, and other gradually declining worlds, even the Death Ghost Realm, which can be regarded as this universal world.

Death Jaw’s essence is actually a pass guarding the Heavenly Gateway, while its master resembles a female general refusing the enemy outside the gate.

This unrivaled female immortal’s adversaries are also of the same level, either people of the Heavenly Immortal realm or Divine Immortal realm, who have been trying since eons ago to infiltrate their power into this universe.

In Guan Ling’s eyes, these people are a group of madmen constantly pursuing the Great Path, whose minds have been twisted and corrupted by the path, capable of anything; she believes that ordinary cultivators are best to not have any association with them, as even just contacting their lingering imprints could drive one mad!

"It is incredible that Senior Guanzhu, who is a person of the Heavenly Immortal realm, could be killed!"

Guan Ling did not reveal her master’s true name and Dao title, thus Shen Mo used this as an alternative.

Upon hearing that this senior’s cultivation level was so high yet was still killed, both Shen Mo and Chen Mengze’s expressions inevitably changed slightly!

Above the Divine Bridge is the Formless Realm, above Formless is the True Immortal realm.

The True Immortal realm is divided into five categories: Ghost Immortal, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Divine Immortal, Heavenly Immortal...

Divine Immortal is the second level in the True Immortal realm.

It may be directly achieved by outstanding ones in the Formless realm or cultivated from the Earth Immortal level.

Cultivators forget their form when their merits are complete; fetal immortals transform naturally, yin extinguishes and yang becomes pure, an external body is formed, shedding essence to ascend to immortality, transcending into a saint, renouncing worldly ties to return to the three mountains, is the stream of Divine Immortals!

Heavenly Immortal is the utmost excellence in immortality.

Only those akin to rare phoenix feathers can instantly cultivate into a Heavenly Immortal, most are cultivated from Divine Immortals.

Divine Immortals dislike staying in the three islands, impart the Way to humanity, fulfill duties in the Way and acts in the world, join in creation, and remain timeless and unperishing; once their achievements and cultivation are fulfilled, they receive the heavenly book and return to Fairyland.

Persons of the Heavenly Immortal realm have great deeds for the heavens and earth, prominent actions throughout history, achievements completed among the three levels, traces surpassing the three levels, unrestrained by methods, unstained by the path, their cultivation level reaches the heavens, being powerful figures in the True Immortal realm!

The Master of Death Jaw just cultivated into an immortal and achieved the second level as a Divine Immortal, which shows how astounding her Talent, luck, and Fate are;

After countless years of cultivation, fulfilling achievements, receiving the heavenly book, she cultivated into the top level in the True Immortal realm as a Heavenly Immortal. Such achievement and cultivation level truly captivated and deeply impressed Shen Mo and Chen Mengze!

It can be said that this Senior Guanzhu is the highest cultivation level person Shen Mo knows...

Like Hollow Venerable, who is a True Immortal cultivated from Thousands Insects Evil Corpse, ranked among Human Immortals; like Jade Spring Fairy, whose strength is above Hollow Venerable, either a deeply cultivated Human Immortal or one rank higher as an Earth Immortal; like the master of the Dragon Rearing Pool, Shen Mo does not know the exact realm, but judging from Jade Spring Fairy’s ability to isolate his senses from Cao Ren, he is likely a Human Immortal or Earth Immortal!

As for the Longevity Demon Lord who has not yet cultivated into a True Immortal, it goes without saying.

Shen Mo also doesn’t believe this Longevity race demon can rely on "Longevity Pill" to instantly ascend to Human Immortal or higher levels;

At most, he would stop at Human Immortal, and if there is a misstep during the immortal tribulation, he might cultivate into a Ghost Immortal, or even not make it as a Ghost Immortal, directly perishing in the immortal tribulation!

Comparing this, one can realize what a formidable character the Master of Death Jaw, who cultivated into a Divine Immortal immediately after enlightenment and later stepped into the Heavenly Immortal realm, is in the True Immortal realm; and such a top-tier True Immortal was also killed by adversaries, her corpse divided into millions of pieces, buried in a place where the immortal path ceases to exist... learning this, how could Shen Mo and Chen Mengze not be shocked?

"Fellow Guan, could you reveal more information regarding Senior Guanzhu’s adversaries?" Shen Mo’s expression fluctuated between bright and gloomy, finally speaking out.

"They are remnants of an old era, madmen turned demon! That’s all I can tell you, knowing too much would prevent you from even cultivating into a True Immortal." Guan Ling drank the spiritual tea in her cup in one gulp, then removed the teacup, chairs, and other items, clearly indicating her reluctance to discuss more with Shen Mo and Chen Mengze duo, ready to send them away!

"..."

"Hold on, Shen Mo still has one request!"

Seeing Guan Ling’s appearance indicating she was ready to see them off, Shen Mo stopped troubling himself with those "leftover evils" and "madmen" matters, directly retrieving a Soul Nurturing Bottle from the Sword Zone.

Upon opening the bottle, a dim and blurred phantom slowly rose up, it was the only remaining fetal light soul of Lady Yu.

"This fellow Yu has been kind to me, and I wish to complete her three souls and seven spirits, sending her for reincarnation. Unfortunately, my cultivation level is humble and my strength lacking, I can only watch as fellow Yu’s remnant soul weakens day by day, I request fellow Guan’s assistance!"

Initially at Zuoli Country where evil spirits resided, Shen Mo, Silver-haired Child, Qin Zhen, Kang Haoxiu once borrowed Lady Yu’s "ascension" as an opportunity to break out of that land of evil spirits.

Although in reality, Lady Yu only had a remnant soul remaining, and it had no causal relation with Shen Mo’s persuasion for her "ascension";

But ultimately, everyone received her kindness, and if they were to sit back and watch her remnant soul dissipate, Shen Mo’s conscience would be troubled, and to prevent his Path Heart from being shrouded in dust, he has been trying to find ways to save her.

Upon meeting the Taihua Mirror’s Artifact Spirit, Shen Mo also sought this mirror spirit, but the mirror spirit had no means to restore souls, requiring Jade Spring Fairy to outlend her aid personally!

Originally, Shen Mo planned to accumulate twenty thousand merits to consult Jade Spring Fairy face-to-face during her teaching and path sharing; however, planning cannot keep up with changes, Jade Spring Fairy was schemed by Hollow Venerable, sent into the God Path world by Death Jaw, unknown when she will return, perhaps not even sure if she can come back alive.

Hence, Shen Mo could only place his hopes on Guan Ling, the "culprit."

She is the most outstanding celestial artifact, moreover mastering Dao laws characteristic of space-time, if even she has no solutions, then there’s no need to seek Jade Spring Fairy’s counsel!

"Oh?"

Guan Ling observed Lady Yu’s remnant soul, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "She clearly bears marks of tens of thousands of years passed, yet her lifespan is less than five hundred years, truly peculiar!"

Once Shen Mo explained the origins of the remnant soul, Guan Ling nodded in sudden realization.

Immediately,

She extended three fingers towards Shen Mo, smilingly said, "Helping her is possible, but fellow Qingyun needs to slay three deities!"
