When a Western Fantasy Witch Traveled to the Immortal Cultivation World and Became the King of Scrol

Chapter 31: Old Man in the Sky
"It should be... divination is not difficult to learn. Just remember some specific points and then consider the combination and order of multiple factors according to the actual situation?"

When I opened a book given by Patriarch Chi Xiao, this sentence caught my eye on the first page.

The handwriting is a bit ugly, comparable to Zhou Ling's terrible handwriting, but it is within the understandable range and does not affect reading.

After flipping through two more pages, Zhou Ling was a little fascinated. The person who wrote this book had a brisk writing style and natural and detailed analysis. It was almost as if he had explained the originally obscure things in plain language so that anyone could understand it.

No wonder Patriarch Chi Xiao said that this book is a treasure for beginners.

It is really a treasure!
"Mom, let's not talk for now. I'll sit down and read a book. Don't call me for dinner. Leave it in the pot. I'll heat it up and eat it when I'm hungry."

Seeing her daughter holding the book with a focused expression, Zhou Li sighed softly. She would never believe her daughter's nonsense that she would heat up the porridge herself when she was hungry. She had said this every time in the past. If she really left it alone, she would not eat the porridge in the pot until next year.

Zhou Ling was immersed in new knowledge and didn't notice the passage of time at all.

Until a bowl of hot porridge was held in front of him, blocking the contents of the book.

Any food that his mother put to his mouth must be eaten immediately. This is a tacit understanding between the mother and daughter. Zhou Ling picked up the food and drank a few sips without thinking, and continued to keep his eyes glued to the book.

Life was peaceful and tranquil in Zhijian Peak. Zhou Ling, who was protected by someone, had no idea that there was a big noise outside because of her sudden realization.

In this world of immortal cultivation, there is an ancient realm with a name called the Realm in the Bottle. This name has appeared in many ancient cultivation texts. However, it is precisely because of the appearance of this realm name that many people who have reached the stage of Spirit Transformation and find it difficult to make further progress have become suspicious.

Why is this world called the world in a bottle?

This name is not only not grand, but also makes people feel like a frog in a well. After all, if the name of this realm means literally, then this realm is a bottle, and what are these people in the bottle? Aren't they just toads who can only stay at the bottom of the bottle and watch the exit!

In addition, since the founding of the sect by the predecessors of this world, in the tens of thousands of years, few people have been able to successfully ascend after the late stage of transformation. Most people either died in the heavenly tribulation of ascension, or died in the long wasted years because they gave up the tribulation.

There is a rumor that their world in the bottle is a realm abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, and among the cultivators in this world, only one in ten thousand can break through the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao and successfully ascend to heaven.

At first, this rumor caused panic for a while, but as time went by, people seemed to have slowly forgotten about it.

Only some seniors who have reached the late stage of the Spiritualization Stage knew about this rumor. It was not a rumor at the beginning, but a top secret known to all of them as Spiritualization Stage cultivators. It was only later leaked by someone unknown.

When one reaches the highest level in this realm, there is no hope of ascending to the heavens. The way to survival is right before one's eyes, but one has to watch helplessly as it is destroyed. This is hard for anyone to accept. After all, why do they cultivate to become immortals? It is for immortality!

Even ants are greedy for life. They, the cultivators, dare to fight for their lives against the will of heaven. Who would be willing to stop at the stage of transformation and only live for 5,000 years?

Therefore, regarding ascension and the way of heaven in this world, even if there is a tiny bit of hope, those stubborn people will want to hold on to it tightly.

Now, Zhou Ling’s sudden enlightenment of the way of heaven is this tiny bit of hope.

Long Aotian stood at the entrance of Zhijian Peak with a sword in his hand. After slashing away a person who was looking for trouble, he began to ponder the origin of the name of Zhijian Peak.

All the disciples who were accepted into the Sword Holding Peak seemed to have the same temperament. They were flexible and would never fight when they had the power. They would always protect their own people and would not let them suffer any loss. The Grand Master was like this, the Master was like this, and he was also like this. As for Xiao Ling'er... well, there was no need to say more. She was not afraid.

"How dare you, a mere junior, be so arrogant! So what if you have a high level of cultivation? You don't take the seniors seriously at all. You are simply..."

An old man with a white beard had tried many times without giving up, but he couldn't even get past Long Aotian in three moves. He was defeated over and over again, and his face turned red with anger. He started talking about his seniority, but before he could say anything more unpleasant, he was swept away by Long Aotian's sword.

"Next one." He said lazily, sitting in the rocking chair with his legs crossed. Facing one challenge after another, he never even stood up.

He is indeed arrogant, but he has the capital to be arrogant!
Looking around, those who wanted to harass Zhou Ling were almost all old men with white hair and beards, both men and women, all of whom had reached the level of incarnation, but were unable to make any further progress.

"Little friend Long, have you had enough of this trouble? You know why we are here. Your disciples didn't reject us in person, so why are you stopping us? This is related to whether this world can ascend to immortality smoothly, and you are determined to stop us. What is your intention?"

There were also some old men with sharp tongues who, seeing that the principle of seniority and hierarchy was of no use and that they could not defeat him by force, had to resort to the use of justice to suppress him.

"Draw your sword, don't roll around." Long Aotian brought out a cup of tea and took a sip, not wanting to say another word.

If it weren't for the fact that they were old and had no hope of ascending to heaven, he would not have been polite to these shameless people and would have directly thrown them away one by one and told them to get out of here as far away as possible!
Unfortunately, I have to consider the sect, and my little disciple still has a long way to go in the future. I can't let her make too many enemies, otherwise it would be bad if she gets implicated.

"This is too much! This is too much! Do you really think we dare not fight?" The old man was successfully enraged.

Of course, if he had not been wrapped into a ball by Long Aotian using Taoism and thrown far away the next second, his appearance with his hair and beard still stood up would still have been quite imposing.

……

Zhou Ling didn't know how long it had been since he started learning.

Anyway, after finishing the first book in her hand, she closed her eyes to consolidate the new points of divination knowledge she had learned. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.

With an empty stomach, Zhou Ling rubbed his slightly sore eyes, waved away the restrictions in the room, and prepared to find his mother to eat something before going to the sword training ground to practice sword for a while.

As a result, when the restriction in the room was opened, she saw a man who looked like an old man being slammed onto the mountain protection formation on the top of her own peak.

The old man seemed to have fainted. He lay on the barrier for a long time before he slid down limply.

Zhou Ling was startled and subconsciously formed seals with his fingers. Wooden vines sprouted out of the ground and tied up the old man before he hit the ground, then gently put him down.

But it wasn't over yet. After rescuing the old man, Zhou Ling found that he seemed to have turned on a switch of a chain reaction. "Baji, Baji", two sounds came from diagonally above him.

When he looked up, Zhou Ling was stunned.

This... since when did old men start falling from the sky?
