Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"What!?"

After the voice representing the Heavenly Book World asked the last question, Zhou Yiqiao first thought that he had misheard and confirmed it again in surprise.

The voice did not show any emotion and repeated its question tirelessly.

"The third question is, if you can become the master of the Heavenly Book, but the price is to find a way to kill the strongest person in the Tianchen Realm, what would you do?"

Zhou Yiqiao was silent. He didn't expect the content of the last question to be so speechless.

In fact, after the voice claiming to represent the world of heavenly books appeared, he felt that the other party had been deliberately guiding him to give a similar answer.

"Isn't this test from the Heavenly Book too much of a joke?"

Zhou Yiqiao cursed in his heart, but had to face reality.

He knew that if he couldn't give an answer that satisfied the other party, he would never be able to leave here.

But he didn't know why, he always felt that if he answered the other party's questions truthfully, he would inevitably get a result opposite to what he expected.

Thinking of this, he cautiously probed.

"This question seems a bit difficult to ask."

"Although the Tianchen Realm has always respected the strong and preyed on the weak, I admit that this is an eternal law in the cultivation world."

“Of course, I cannot kill the strongest person in the Tianchen Realm who has helped me many times.

The voice representing the world of heavenly books paused slightly, as if evaluating Zhou Yiqiao's answer.

After a moment, it spoke indifferently.

"Whether it's the Tianchen Realm or any other small world, there has never been any mercy between cultivators. If you can't face this cruel reality, you will never be able to obtain the highest power."

Zhou Yiqiao felt a chill in his heart. Just as he had guessed, the other party's question was not just a test, but had some deeper meaning.

He was finally able to confirm that the questions asked by the voice representing the world of the Heavenly Book were not asked to obtain the desired answers, but were an interrogation of other people's humanity and morality.

If Zhou Yiqiao had just entered the world of immortal cultivation, he would not have hesitated like he is now, but would have given an answer that would satisfy the other party without hesitation.

But today's Zhou Yiqiao is no longer the young cultivator who just entered the world of immortal cultivation.

He has experienced too much human warmth and coldness, intrigue and deception, and has seen too many life and death separations and betrayals.

Especially after understanding Zhao Zhen's wish, he had a more mature view on how to achieve immortality.

Zhou Yiqiao was naturally as cold-blooded and ruthless as ever towards those who were not good to him, but he would never do anything ungrateful to those who had done him a favor.

"Even so, I still choose to refuse."

"I can pay a price for pursuing higher strength, but I will never betray those who have helped me. This is the bottom line I have learned from my practice so far."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole space suddenly became extremely quiet. Not even the sound of wind could be heard, as if time had stopped.

After a moment, the voice sounded again, seeming to reveal a hint of dissatisfaction, yet seemed full of affirmation.

"Good, you made it through the last question."

As he finished speaking, a huge circle of light suddenly appeared under Zhou Yiqiao's feet, covering him completely.

Before he could react, a powerful suction force instantly sucked him in, and the next second, the surrounding scene changed abruptly.

Zhou Yiqiao only felt a flash before his eyes, and when the picture became clear, he found himself back to the place where he first entered the Misty Valley.

The wooden house that originally blocked the mountain path disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a half-meter-high stone platform.

On the stone platform was an ancient book emitting golden light. It was the heavenly book that the voice mentioned.

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked and walked forward quickly, reaching out to touch the treasure.

The moment his fingers touched the Heavenly Book, a powerful force surged into his body, as if washing his body from the inside out, bathing him in an indescribable pleasure.

Zhou Yiqiao only felt that his soul seemed to be sublimated, and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable. Even the true energy in his body became more refined.

This feeling lasted for about an incense stick of time before slowly dissipating, and by this time he was already sweating and panting.

But even so, he could still feel the powerful force in his body, as if he could crush the stone platform in front of him into powder with just a slight movement of his fingers!

“Is this the power of the Heavenly Book?”

Zhou Yiqiao said to himself, reached out to pick up the ancient book in front of him, but found that this seemingly ordinary book was actually as heavy as a thousand pounds.

He thought he had made great progress in body training, but he found that with his current level, he was simply unable to open and read this precious book.

"Why, do you want to see the contents of this heavenly book?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Zhou Yiqiao's ears.

Zhou Yiqiao was startled and quickly turned around to look.

On the rocks not far away, the mysterious senior was wearing the familiar black hood, staring at him.

"Senior, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny!"

Zhou Yiqiao never expected that the other party could enter the Wanjuan Tower so easily. He hurried forward and handed over the heavenly book in his hand.

The mysterious senior smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved it gently, and an invisible force sucked the heavenly book from Zhou Yiqiao's hand.

He took the heavenly book, gently turned a page, nodded slightly, and said.

"Yes, you did a good job."

"There are tens of millions of books in this Wanjuan Building. I can make the decision on my own and let you choose a secret book from the building to take away as a reward for your perfect completion of my task."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard the words of the mysterious senior, he couldn't help but feel excited.

There are countless books in Wanjuan Tower, and each of them is an extremely precious secret book. Being able to choose one of them and take it away is undoubtedly a great opportunity.

"Thank you, senior!"

He hurriedly bowed, his tone full of gratitude.

The mysterious senior smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved it. A ray of light flashed by. Zhou Yiqiao only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next second he found himself in a sea of ​​books.

This space is filled with books, and each one exudes a powerful aura, as if one can gain endless power just by flipping through one or two!

"I didn't expect that the collection of books in Wanjuan Tower is so large."

Zhou Yiqiao said secretly in his heart, his eyes swept over these secret books, but he felt a little at a loss.

"You have half an incense stick of time to choose the secret book. When the time is up, I will send you out of Wanjuan Tower."

The voice of the mysterious senior came from behind Zhou Yiqiao. He turned around quickly, only to find that the other party had disappeared.

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked and looked around quickly, but found no trace of the other party at all.

Helplessly, he could only focus on the secret books in front of him.

"I currently have on hand the Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue for cultivating the strength of spiritual power, the Tian Gang Refining Body Jue for refining the body, and the Hundred Nerve Training Jue for improving the strength of spiritual consciousness."

"The Ghost Fire Refining Yuan Jue and the Tian Gang Refining Body Jue have just been promoted, and the Hundred Refining Nerves Jue has reached the threshold of the sixth level after so many years of exploration since I was promoted to the Refining Void Realm. I may be promoted to the last level at any time."

With a general idea in mind, Zhou Yiqiao's future choices became clear.

He began to travel through the sea of ​​books, his eyes sweeping over the secret books one after another, looking for the secret book that could continue to enhance the strength of his spiritual consciousness after he had trained his nerves to perfection.

Soon, Zhou Yiqiao found a secret book called "Wandering in the Nine Skies" in the sea of ​​books.

According to the records in the book, this "Spiritual Journey to the Nine Heavens" is a martial art created by a top Mahayana master named Xuan Xiao in ancient times.

This method is divided into nine levels, each level corresponds to a different realm. After practicing to the extreme, the strength of spiritual consciousness can even be comparable to that of a real immortal!

Zhou Yiqiao's fingertips gently slid across the cover of "Journey to the Nine Heavens". He never expected that he could find a martial art that was so suitable for him in such a short time.

"Well, have you thought about it?"

The voice of the mysterious senior came from all directions. Zhou Yiqiao nodded quickly and spoke loudly.

"Senior, I have already selected the secret book."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a flash before his eyes, and the next second he found himself leaving Wanjuan Tower and appearing in front of the three-story building.

"My friend, you have completed the task assigned by your senior so quickly."

Zhou Yiqiao didn't expect that Mo Yun was still waiting for him outside Wanjuan Tower.

"Senior, why are you still here?"

Mo Yun heard this and looked as if it was a matter of course.

"My friend, you have only been in there for two hours. As a distinguished guest of my Lingyuan Pavilion, I will naturally wait here for you to come out."

Zhou Yiqiao's heart warmed, and he suddenly thought that since Mo Yun had been waiting outside Wanjuan Tower, how did the mysterious senior enter Wanjuan Tower when Mo Yun seemed unaware of it?

"Since you have been outside the Wanjuan Building, have you ever allowed anyone else to enter during this time?"

He asked Mo Yun tentatively.

"My friend is carrying out such an important task, how could I allow the disciples of Lingyuan Pavilion to disturb you?"

Mo Yun didn't think about it and responded immediately.

"To be able to quietly enter the Wanjuan Tower under the nose of Senior Mo Yun, what is the strength of this mysterious senior?"

Zhou Yiqiao was guessing the mysterious senior's strength in his heart, and his gaze returned to the three-story house in front of him.

"If that's the case, then Senior Mo Yun doesn't know anything about the "Spiritual Journey to the Nine Skies" that I obtained from the Wanjuan Tower?"

His mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't even notice that Mo Yun beside him had called his name several times.

"My little friend, are you okay?"

Zhou Yiqiao suddenly woke up, took a step back in panic, then stood still and spoke.

"It's okay. I just spent too much energy in Wanjuan Tower. I'm a little tired."
