"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother!!!"
"Big Brother!!!"
"..."
A clear voice continuously rang in Juhua's ears. Juhua endured the discomfort from the depths of his Soul and laboriously opened his eyes.
What greeted his sight was a young maiden dressed in beautiful silk clothes.
Seeing Juhua awaken, the young maiden, who had just been full of sorrow, instantly showed a look of surprise on her face.
"Big Brother, you're awake?" the maiden asked happily.
"Little Sister, how long have I been unconscious?" Juhua asked, rubbing his temples.
"En," the maiden tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Big Brother, you've been unconscious for three years!"
"Three years?"
"En!" The maiden nodded vigorously and said happily, "I knew I wasn't mistaken just now; Big Brother's hand moved a little!"
"Big Brother, you don't know, a Celestial Immortal Ancestor said you might never wake up, it really scared me to death!"
"Didn't I just wake up?" Juhua reached out and rubbed the maiden's head, then he sat up from the bed.
"Be careful!" The maiden quickly supported Juhua.
"Little Sister, have you forgotten? I am an Immortal, I don't need support!" Juhua said with a smile.
"Big Brother is a Scattered Immortal now!" the maiden said with some frustration, "Ever since Big Brother failed his Transcending Tribulation, many people in the clan have changed their attitude, especially after Big Brother fell unconscious, many people have been speaking ill of you!"
"They are just a few scoundrels; I'll help Little Sister vent her anger later!" Juhua smiled and then said, "I've just woken up, and I'm a bit nostalgic for Little Sister's delicious food!"
"I'll go make it right away!"
The maiden immediately sprang up from the bedside, and after leaving a sentence, she hurried out... Not long after the maiden left, the smile on Juhua's face gradually disappeared. He raised his hand, and with the surging profound magic power, some invisible Restrictions instantly appeared in the room.
"Did I really fail? The Earth Immortal Jindan is damaged, and my magic power's purity is only about eighty percent of what it used to be!" Juhua muttered to himself, but then he shook his head.
Earthly Immortal, Celestial Immortal, a single word apart, yet a world of difference!
An Earthly Immortal must experience endless three calamities and nine tribulations, with the possibility of dying at any time, while a Celestial Immortal transcends the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements, able to enjoy Eternal Life!
When an Earthly Immortal undergoes tribulation, if successful, they become a Celestial Immortal envied by billions of Life forms. If they fail, in severe cases, they turn to dust on the spot; in lighter cases, they become a Scattered Immortal, with no chance of Immortal Ascension again.
For any Earthly Immortal, failing the Transcending Tribulation is absolutely unacceptable. Those with an insufficient Dao Heart might even perish on the spot, body and soul.
But now, after learning this fact, Juhua felt little disturbance in his heart, because there was something far more unsettling to him than failing the Transcending Tribulation.
According to Little Sister, he seemed to have been unconscious for a full three years after failing his Transcending Tribulation, but in fact, those three years were not that simple.
During this period, he entered a place called "Earth," became another person, and lived a carefree Life for thirty years in that world as that ordinary person.
This person was just an ordinary person, unremarkable from birth to death. Normally, with Juhua's Dao Heart, this extra memory would be harmless. Although thirty years is not short, it is too short compared to Juhua's lifespan of over three hundred years!
During those thirty unremarkable years of Life, Juhua particularly enjoyed reading web novels, and among the numerous web novels, a divine book called "desolate era" captivated him. When he lived in that world, Juhua didn't understand why he liked that book so much, or why he read it over and over again. Now, he seemed to understand!
"desolate era" mentions that Juhua Immortal, active in the Fiendgod Era of the Three Realms period, lived for millions of years after failing his Transcending Tribulation. Juhua Immortal was the third owner of the Immortal mansion left by Threelives Daoist, and the protagonist of that divine book "desolate era" was the fifth owner.
"I am Juhua, and the current Great Xia World is indeed filled with Xiantian Gods and Devils. It's not wrong to call it the Fiendgod Era by later generations. I did fail my Transcending Tribulation, and most importantly, I am indeed the third owner of the so-called Water Mansion!" Juhua muttered to himself, word by word, his expression becoming increasingly strange.
Whoosh!
Juhua waved his hand, and a palm-sized Immortal mansion appeared in his hand.
This was the "Water Mansion"!
Ever since he became a Primal Daoist, he had initially refined this Immortal mansion and had always carried it with him. This was his biggest secret, and also the reason why he was able to cultivate into an Earthly Immortal and undergo tribulation in a very short time.
Juhua had never told this secret to anyone, not even his closest Little Sister!
"If everything in the book is true, what does this mean?" Juhua recalled some of the contents of the book, and his face became somewhat distorted.
His greatest pursuit all along, becoming a Celestial Immortal who transcends the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements, was actually just a starting point. Compared to the infinitely vast Chaos Universe, a small Celestial Immortal is not even considered an ant.
In the Chaos Universe, there exist endless Chaos Worlds. In even the most ordinary Chaos World, the number of Celestial Immortals is in the tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions.
"No, no, it's completely impossible to determine what this book is exactly! And the content it describes is also of uncertain truth!" Juhua shook his head. He got out of bed and bowed slightly towards the Void Realm.
"Which senior is playing a trick on this Junior? Please show yourself!" Juhua called out three times in a row, but no one appeared.
"Since senior is unwilling to show himself, this Junior will respectfully follow your guidance!" Juhua said respectfully, then straightened up.
The content of this "desolate era" is difficult to discern as true or false, but if it is true, there are only two possibilities: one is that it is truly a stroke of Opportunity, and the other is that a senior expert is controlling everything.
If it's a stroke of Opportunity, then by making good use of everything recorded in "desolate era," he might be able to reach a level he currently looks up to. Even if he fails midway, he would still be worthy of this great Opportunity!
If a senior expert is in control, he might as well follow their intentions. Anyway, he has already failed his Transcending Tribulation, and his future is bleak; the result can't get much worse!
Juhua was very clear that, without an accident, his best outcome would be to merely survive for millions of years, as described in "desolate era," and then turn to dust!
