"An Immortal? Has he become an Immortal?"
And above this Yan Mansion, an illusion of pavilions and halls formed, an ethereal mirage with immortal qi wafting about. Immortal music descended from all directions, as if it could make people forget all their troubles, making them wish they could follow Old Master Yan up to the heavens. However, Hu Ma only felt waves of formless panic.
This Old Master Yan had indeed "become an Immortal."
He, and those descendants who had trapped him in the Hualong Well, only wanted him to live long enough to become the Emperor, to achieve the world's second-greatest Great Freedom.
However, to prolong his life, they used the toad gu to refine this immortal qi. Over time, for Old Master Yan, the Emperor ceased to matter; what became important was attaining the world's foremost Great Freedom.
