Eternal Life: I Can Sell Everything

Song Ciwan received her Foundation Establishment quest: to her surprise, she had to enter the Demon Realm and gather thirty stalks of five-hundred-year-old Luming Grass!

The point of this quest wasn’t the Luming Grass, but entering the Demon Realm.

Song Ciwan recalled that before entering this Secret Realm, there were three Gates of Light, each inscribed with a seal script character: Human, Fiend, and Demon!

’Where is the Demon Realm? How do I get there? And how do I get back?’

Song Ciwan also noticed another key piece of information the White Dragon Head had just mentioned: the Mortal World Female Cultivator, Song Qiu.

She immediately asked, "Excuse me, two emissaries, what is the meaning of ’Mortal World’? And how am I to enter the Demon Realm?"

The White Dragon Head responded gently, "The Mortal World is where you come from. Song Qiu, though you are from the Mortal World, you need not be anxious. The Immortal Venerable teaches all without discrimination. Regardless of your origins, as long as you complete the Foundation Establishment quest, you can obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill."

The Black Dragon Head screeched, repeating, "Complete the quest, get the Foundation Establishment Pill, get the Foundation Establishment Pill! HEE HEE HEE, HISS HISS HISS..."

The two dragon heads intertwined and danced above the Yin-Yang Fish. The Black Dragon Head was savage and aggressive, while the White Dragon Head was gentle and evasive.

One black, one white, moving up and down, back and forth. The strangeness of it was impossible to describe or depict.

No matter how gentle and soothing the White Dragon Head’s voice was, to be honest, the scene was bizarre and terrifying.

Within the main hall of this Seeking Immortal Tower, though it bore the name ’Immortal,’ it felt more like something from the Demon Realm.

Song Ciwan saw that the White Dragon Head answered every question and was very clear about her origins—even if it referred to the Great Zhou Cultivation Realm as the Mortal World.

Of course, whether Great Zhou was the Mortal World wasn’t the point.

Call it what you will, Great Zhou was still Great Zhou. Although this "Mortal World" of Great Zhou wasn’t exactly "mortal," and this Secret Realm, the Spirit Realm, wasn’t exactly "immortal"...

Song Ciwan probed further, asking the White Dragon Head, "Excuse me, Emissary, if I obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, can I return to the Mortal World?"

The White Dragon Head continued speaking gently, "Since you came from the Mortal World, you can naturally return if you wish. Once you complete your Foundation Establishment quest, obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, and finish your Foundation Establishment, a portal for your return will naturally appear. Of course, if you do not wish to go back, you may remain in the Spirit Realm to cultivate. That is also permissible."

The Black Dragon Head repeated, "Remain in the Netherworld to cultivate, also permissible, also permissible, permissible... HEE HEE HEE, HISS HISS HISS!"

The two dragon heads continued to entwine, but Song Ciwan froze for a moment.

She truly hadn’t expected to get the answer about her return so easily!

But, upon further reflection, she felt that this seemingly simple answer was actually... quite profound.

The return portal would only appear *after* completing Foundation Establishment!

And after all her considerations, step by step, Song Ciwan had already made up her mind: she did not want to walk the Golden Core Dao.

But regardless of whether she walked the Golden Core Dao, she had to get the Foundation Establishment Pill first. ’As for what to do after that? If I only take the pill but don’t undergo Foundation Establishment, how will I get back to Great Zhou?’

These were questions that could be considered later.

So she wasted no more time and just said, "Excuse me, Emissary, how do I travel to the Demon Realm?"

The White Dragon Head said gently, "There is a Pass Token here for travel between the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm. You may take it. This Token allows for two-way travel and can be used a total of twice. The Luming Grass is not easy to find and may be guarded by Demons. Cultivator, you must be extremely careful on your journey."

The White Dragon Head gave its gentle warning, and the Black Dragon Head repeated it strangely, "Guarded by Demons, be extremely careful, HEE HEE HEE... HISS HISS HISS!"

Its tone was indescribably strange and sinister, eerie and bone-chilling.

Song Ciwan pushed aside her strange feelings about the pair of bizarre dragon heads and turned to see a ring of light brighten beside a nearby pillar.

In an instant, as the light expanded, a floating Token appeared within the ring of light.

Song Ciwan immediately walked forward, reached out, and, wrapping her hand in True Qi, carefully took the Token.

The moment the Token was in her hand, a peculiar wave of energy pulsed from it.

Song Ciwan didn’t even have time to examine the Token’s appearance before she perceived a clear stream of information on how to use it.

Using the Token was simple. One only had to infuse it with a certain amount of energy—be it Vitality, Spiritual Qi, or True Qi, even Demonic Qi or Nether Qi would work—then recite the word "Go," and the Token would transport its user between the two realms.

Although the device could only be used twice—meaning it would become inert after one round trip—this transportation function was still unbelievably miraculous.

This Spirit Realm, despite its many strange and incongruous aspects, and despite the many questionable and criticized parts of the Golden Core Dao, had to be admired for one thing: its wondrous application of spatial manipulation was a miraculous technique well worth studying.

Song Ciwan took a moment to carefully comprehend the use of the Token, only to hear the White Dragon Head urge her on. "Cultivator, you may go. Although there is no time limit for your quest in the Demon Realm, Demonic Qi can easily corrupt the heart. It is not good to linger there for too long."

The Black Dragon Head repeated, "Corrupt the heart, not good to linger, not good to linger... HEE HEE HEE, HISS HISS HISS!"

As the two dragon heads writhed and the Black Dragon Head’s strange laughter echoed, Song Ciwan delayed no longer.

She responded to the White Dragon Head, "Thank you for the reminder, Emissary. This junior will take her leave." Then, she infused the Token with her True Qi.

Once infused with True Qi, the Token quickly lit up.

A peculiar wave enveloped Song Ciwan once more. She deliberately slowed the infusion of her True Qi, extending the time she was surrounded by the wave.

She used this opportunity to carefully perceive every detail of the wave.

If this wave were a gear, then every uneven peak and valley of its teeth held a profound mystery, and the depth of each groove was like a key. When this key turned to a point where the two realms were in sync, there was a—CLICK.

In reality, there was no sound, but intangibly, Song Ciwan felt as if she had clearly heard it.

After the CLICK, a brilliant light flooded Song Ciwan’s vision.

An indescribable light enveloped her.

It was as if the sky had sprung a leak, or a sliver of light had escaped from the Abyss.

For an instant, amidst the radiance, Song Ciwan was truly blinded.

But this extreme brightness lasted for only a tenth of a second. After that instantaneous flash, another CLICK seemed to ring in Song Ciwan’s ears.

Then, all the light receded like ripples in water.

Song Ciwan blinked. The light before her was gone, and she had arrived in a world she had never seen before.

How to describe it?

For a moment, Song Ciwan felt that this place shouldn’t be called a world, but rather—a tree hollow?

Yes, Song Ciwan was standing on an indescribably colossal tree.

Its canopy was so vast it blotted out the sky and sun.

Or rather, the canopy *was* this world’s sky!

Looking up, there was nothing but dense shade. The deep green leaves dyed the entire world a dark, emerald hue.

And the ground beneath her feet was made of dark brown branches, stretching on and on, endlessly.
