Eternal Life: I Can Sell Everything

In the vast, surging waters, a stone pillar reached for the heavens, and three gateways had suddenly opened.

The many Cultivators by the water’s edge racked their brains, speculating endlessly. However, because they couldn’t see the white and green radiances, they had no way of guessing that entry was related to killing Demon Beasts and saving people.

Of course, this wasn’t to say they were stupid. It was just that sometimes, the fallacies created by a lack of information could be immense.

It was hardly surprising that most people couldn’t immediately figure out the mystery.

Similarly, while some were slow on the uptake, there were bound to be others who were exceptionally sharp and perceptive.

Jiao Zuo, who had been silently observing it all, suddenly struck. With a flash of his blade, he killed a Rabbit Demon he had previously kept bound.

Then, carrying the bloody scent of the Rabbit Demon, Jiao Zuo leaped into the air. The next moment, he appeared before the three gateways in the stone pillar.

Jiao Zuo also chose the central gateway. He didn’t recognize the character for "Human" above the portal; he simply reasoned that since both Du Xingheng and Ji Qingfeng had picked the middle gate, he would naturally choose it as well.

Jiao Zuo stepped forward, his body melting into the light.

Soon, he vanished behind the gateway of light.

Immediately after, the other Cultivators from the Lantern Hanging Department who were with Jiao Zuo followed suit. Some didn’t even need to kill a Demon Beast on the spot; they had already slain plenty during the earlier chaotic battle.

Carrying the bloody scent of Demon Beasts, these people also passed through the central gateway of the stone pillar.

At last, someone else finally caught on.

A voice cheered from the crowd of Cultivators, "It’s killing a Demon Beast! So you can enter the middle gate by killing a Demon Beast! This is great!"

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The remaining Demon Beasts met a disastrous fate.

Cultivators who had killed a Demon Beast leaped into the air and rushed into the central gateway.

However, someone reasoned in reverse, "Wait, Ji Qingfeng... She didn’t kill any Demon Beasts before. Why did she also get through that gate?"

"That’s right! Ji Qingfeng may not have killed any Demon Beasts, but she saved people!"

’Killing a Demon Beast, or saving a person...’ So those were the requirements for entering the Secret Realm’s gateway.

One Cultivator was filled with regret. "Damn it, there aren’t enough Demon Beasts!"

Most of the Demon Beasts had been killed by Du Xingheng, and many others had fled.

As for the common people, most had either been blown away by Song Ciwan’s Wind Summoning Skill or collected by Ji Qingfeng in her Qiankun Yuanqi Bag.

For many of those present, the paths of killing a Demon Beast or saving a person were no longer viable.

So, without the convenience of either option, was it impossible to enter the Secret Realm?

Just as some Cultivators were stewing in frustration and regret, one of them suddenly cried out, "Look! That... That man is on the move again!"

It was the Second Young Master. Although he had been flung several hundred yards by the "Human" gate, he had only been flung away. He might have sustained some minor injuries, but trivial wounds were nothing to him.

The Second Young Master carried top-grade Spiritual Elixirs. For minor injuries, he could just take a few Elixirs and be healed on the spot.

After taking the Elixirs, the Second Young Master was both annoyed and indignant, but his way of thinking was different from others.

If an ordinary person hit a wall, they would either turn back immediately or, after hearing the solution from others, act on it right away.

In this case, the solution to entering the Secret Realm was clearly "save a person" or "kill a Demon Beast."

But the Second Young Master was different. He heard the "solution" but stubbornly refused to follow it.

Thus, in the eyes of the Cultivators below, they only saw the Second Young Master fly into the area of the stone pillar once more. Then, without having "killed a Demon Beast" or "saved a person," he charged toward the gateway of light on the left!

On that gateway was written the character for "Beast."

The Second Young Master was flung away once again.

...

But that was nothing. Furious from the shame and anger, the Second Young Master began his third attempt to breach the gateways.

This time, he casually reached out and snatched a Cultivator from the ground with a telekinetic grip.

The one he grabbed was an Innate Second Transformation Martial Artist. His Qi Blood was abundant, and in Pinglan City, he would have been considered one of the top experts.

But in the Second Young Master’s grasp, the Martial Artist was held as easily as one would hold a chick.

Soon, the Second Young Master arrived before the stone pillar’s gateways for a third time.

He sneered, "Save a person? Kill a Demon Beast? Does this Secret Realm think it can control me? How could I ever be constrained by others!"

As he spoke, he raised his hands and tore.

The Martial Artist in his hands let out a bloodcurdling scream. "AHH!"

Blood dripped down. The Second Young Master ripped the Martial Artist in his hands apart, as if tearing a doll in two.

The Second Young Master casually tossed the dead Martial Artist into the churning white waves below. Then, he strode toward the third gateway, the one on the right.

This time, the Second Young Master passed through the third gateway successfully, quickly vanishing behind the interwoven rays of light.

On the third gateway, the Seal Script character for "Demon" flickered with a sinister light. Within the glow, countless twisted faces seemed to cheer and shriek.

Below, among the stunned crowd of Cultivators, someone spoke as if waking from a dream. "So it’s not just the middle gate you can enter. The right one works too."

"To enter the middle gate, you have to kill a Demon Beast or save a person."

"But to enter the gateway on the right, you have to kill a person..."

...

You had to kill a person!

Soon, the Second Young Master’s four handmaidens sprang into action.

Some used Magical Artifacts, others used Magic. In an instant, they had taken human lives.

Then, carrying the weight of these deaths, they sped into the "Demon" gateway on the right.

"Young Master, wait for us! We’re coming!"

...

The white waves churned as human corpses were washed into the water one after another.

The crimson blood swirled for just a moment in the surging waves before instantly dissolving without a trace.

At this moment, Song Ciwan, having rushed through the gateway to the Secret Realm, felt as if she had arrived in a very strange world.

This was no scene from the Mortal World; it was a world above the clouds.

As Song Ciwan passed through the gateway, her first sensation was of stepping onto fluffy white cotton candy.

Of course, she wasn’t actually stepping on cotton candy, but on a vast sea of clouds.

The sea of clouds was soft yet springy, and the feeling underfoot was incredibly peculiar.

Song Ciwan strode forward and looked around, only to see a vast expanse of white mist in all directions. Only in one distant direction was there what seemed to be a sliver of light from a sunrise.

Since there was the light of a sunrise, she decided to treat that direction as east.

And so, Song Ciwan headed east.

She moved quickly, covering hundreds of miles in a short time.

The light to the east appeared a little closer. Using the calculation methods of the Great Derivation Birth Skill to measure distance and time, she traveled for about one hour, covering another several hundred miles. This time, beneath the eastern light, she could faintly make out the silhouettes of buildings.

Song Ciwan felt a flicker of joy. She quickened her pace, and as she walked, a continuous stretch of buildings became clearly visible atop the sea of clouds.

Besides the buildings, there were also streets and bridges, and under the bridges, there were even rivers.

Crystal-clear river water meandered over the clouds. A fisherman in a straw cape and hat was poling a boat downstream, leisurely singing an ancient Taoist ballad.
