Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 844: Chapter 406: Supplemental Update in Progress...

[The following content is a draft.

Sorry]

”Get down!”

With the words from a Purple Robed Immortal, a thousand ordinary people disembarked from the back of the giant whale at the harbor one after another.

There were men and women.

There were young, but no elderly.

As everyone glanced around, their eyes shone with light, and a burning anticipation as intense as fire.

It was because this place was called Feiyu Island, an overseas Immortal Island from the legendary myths a thousand years ago, thousands of miles away from Hidden Dragon Continent.

Ordinary people came here.

They could seek immortality and enlightenment.

They could become immortals!

To be immortal means to achieve longevity.

To have the capability to move mountains and fill seas.

To possess a body that does not age.

To master the art of flying in the sky and vanishing into the ground.

Such feats inevitably make one’s heart race and soul yearn.

Now, having arrived at the Immortal Island, with the path to immortality right in sight, how could one not be excited, how could one not dream?

In the crowd.

Wen Jiu was unlike ordinary people, his eyes were aglow with a strong desire, but he did not lose composure.

He did not act like others.

Either exclaiming in awe.

Or laughing loudly.

Or bowing fervently.

Because Wen Jiu is a reincarnator.

But reincarnation was not the reason. Having lived two decades in rebirth, touring different nations, leaving countless legendary poems all over Hidden Dragon Continent, witnessing the myriads in the human world, that was the real reason.

”Follow in an orderly manner, do not wander. Next, we will proceed to the Path to Immortality, your first trial on the path to becoming an immortal starts there.”

”If you reach the summit.”

”You may become part of our Feiyu Island and seek immortality and enlightenment.”

”If you fail.”

”The great whale will take you back to Hidden Dragon, returning you to the Mortal Realm.”

Every word from the Purple Robed Immortal was not loud, yet they pounded on everyone’s hearts like heavy drums.

Return to Hidden Dragon?

Be ordinary again?

That would be a fate worse than death and even more unbearable.

Having glimpsed immortality, how can one return?

The body may return, but the heart may not!

...

Marching forward.

A thousand people followed closely.

Some worried.

Some encouraged themselves.

Beside Wen Jiu was a stunningly beautiful woman in a sky-blue dress, walking step by step with him.

”Brother Wen, it’s said that the Path to Immortality tests one’s determined heart in seeking the Way. Without a steadfast heart, one cannot reach the summit.”

This woman was named Su Qin.

A member of the Celestial Li Su Clan, the Imperial Princess.

She had an esteemed status.

After boarding the whale, knowing that Wen Jiu was the Human World Poet Immortal who had traveled various lands, she frequently cast flirtatious glances at him along the way.

Yet, since before boarding the whale, Wen Jiu had a dedicated heart for seeking the Way, although he appreciated beauty, he did not wish to partake in it.

Reborn in Hidden Dragon, his goal was to travel.

To see the wonders of another world, with no regrets even in death.

Upon learning of the immortals, his goal became to achieve immortality.

Since then, apart from seeking immortality and enlightenment, he had no other distractions.

Indulging in carnal pleasures would only slow his Foundation Establishment progress.

However, not accepting Su Qin’s unspoken affection did not mean Wen Jiu would keep her at a distance.

Because he deeply understood the difficulties of the road to cultivation.

Having more friends means having more paths.

”May you and I both reach the summit,” Wen Jiu calmly replied, lifting his gaze to see the Path to Immortality just ahead.

The so-called Path to Immortality.

Was not grand on the surface.

At first glance, it appeared to be just a stone staircase up a mountain.

But when the first person set foot on the first step, suddenly laughing loudly and starting to disrobe, Wen Jiu realized it was not simple.

Then subsequently more people went up, with some becoming terror-stricken after a few steps, some stopping midway to cry with faces covered.

Hundreds ascended the Path to Immortality.

Seventy percent couldn’t make it halfway!

Those who didn’t make it halfway were swept aside by a Blue-robed Immortal, and soon taken away.

As Wen Jiu turned back, they were already on the way back to the harbor.

Many cried for another chance, but were ruthlessly knocked unconscious, perhaps when they awoke next they would be back in Hidden Dragon.

The journey to the Immortal Island, for them, might have just been like a fleeting but beautiful dream.

For the rest of their life.

They might often reminisce.

But this memory could only accompany them to the grave.

”Brother Wen...” Su Qin beside him also noticed the scene, thus wore a face of fear.

Wen Jiu remained silent.

For he did not know what to say.

The path of immortality is ruthless. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

And it has already begun.

At this moment, a simple-minded youth on the other side suddenly hugged Wen Jiu’s arm, ”Brother Wen, I am scared!”

The youth’s name was Li Er.

A genuine villager.

His becoming an Immortal Seed and being sent to the great whale by his nation was purely due to exceptionally good luck.

Exactly how good this luck was, Li Er did not say, but after boarding the whale, he distanced himself from everyone out of inferiority. For on the whale, among a thousand people, at least seventy percent came from the royal family, prestigious families, and influential clans.

As a villager, Li Er’s claim of not feeling inferior was false, as even the clothes he wore were donated by others.

Of course.

He did attempt to converse with others.

But others had their cliques of three or five, no one was willing to engage with him.

Wen Jiu alone was willing to chat with him in the corner, hence Li Er had been sticking with Wen Jiu along the way.

Over time they became friends.

Seeing Li Er tightly clinging to his arm, Wen Jiu helplessly said, ”You’re scared, so be it, why are you clinging to me.”

”Brother Wen, I don’t want to return to the village... I want to be immortal!” Li Er’s fear was mingled with determination.

Wen Jiu joked, ”Then you should grab onto those immortals’ arms, holding mine will only get you a fall into the mortal realm.”

Seeing Wen Jiu raise his hand.

Li Er had to quickly let go.

Soon after.

It was their turn.

Wen Jiu stepped forward, moving with determination.

In this life, he had only one goal — to become immortal!

This path to immortality.

Could not stop him!

Step by step, Wen Jiu walked with confidence, treating all the illusions along the way as non-existent.

Su Qin and Li Er quickly followed suit.

Surprisingly, Li Er’s pace was not slow, walking twice as fast as Su Qin.

Only second to Wen Jiu.

Su Qin, on the other hand, walked slowly.

When Li Er reached halfway, she was only at one-third.
