Chapter 1096: Human Becomes a True Immortal Madman

## Chapter 1106

## Frenzy for the True Immortal

The purpose of collecting information on these children was, of course, to find a successor for the Grand Heavenly Venerate of Xuang Huang. Li Fan now knew all the answers to the test, and as long as he could find someone whose temperament and personality generally matched, the chances of a successful succession were quite high.

There was no need to insist on its completion in this lifetime. First, he would scout out several suitable candidates, then select them in the next life to undergo special training.

While Li Fan was conducting various tests on these children using his Illusory Dream Arts, the grand scheme he had arranged to stir up chaos in the Xuang Huang Realm was slowly unfolding.

First, a rumor spread like wildfire.

Ouyang Tian, who had once caused a sensation and been hunted by almost all cultivators of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, possessed two heaven-defying abilities—the Qiankun Bone Hand and the Myriad Deaths Tome—because he had come into contact with the remains of a True Immortal when he was young.

The Qiankun Bone Hand could reverse the universe, allowing an item to revert to its state from a certain period in the past. The Myriad Deaths Tome could predict countless ways one might die. When used properly, it could turn misfortune into blessing and ward off evil.

The name Ouyang Tian had almost faded from the memory of the Alliance cultivators. However, the mention of these two terrifying abilities instantly reawakened their memories. Back then, Ouyang Tian, despite being below the Nascent Soul stage, had managed to evade countless cultivators for nearly half a year. He had proven the power of the Qiankun Bone Hand and the Myriad Deaths Tome through his actions.

And these two powerful supernatural abilities were merely byproducts of the True Immortal's remains? If one could fully obtain these so-called True Immortal remains, what kind of fortune would that entail?

The moment they heard this rumor, this thought surfaced in the minds of almost all cultivators. However, the concept of a True Immortal was ethereal and elusive. Everyone merely treated it as an anecdote or legend, not taking it seriously.

Strangely, however, as time passed, the rumor did not subside. Instead, it gained momentum. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes. Just as they were about to investigate the mastermind, something completely unexpected happened.

That evening, a gracefully independent white figure suddenly appeared above the Xuang Huang firmament. With its appearance, the entire Xuang Huang Realm trembled slightly in that instant. And every cultivator who looked up and saw this figure felt an indescribable sensation surge within them, almost simultaneously.

The figure only lasted for a few breaths before abruptly vanishing. But combined with the widely circulating rumors, four words almost subconsciously popped into the cultivators' minds: "True Immortal remains!"

The anomaly that enveloped the entire firmament, and the slight tremor in the Xuang Huang Realm that accompanied the white figure's appearance—these two things could not be faked!

"Even if it's not a True Immortal, it's definitely an extraordinary being!"

As people debated and speculated about the true identity of the white figure, in Tianling Province, an endless black mire suddenly emerged from deep within a mountain, threatening to engulf everything around it. The moment cultivators saw the black, viscous substance, they knew it was a creation of the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, the Black Mire.

In the face of this existential crisis, cultivators were not alarmed but rather delighted; they did not flee but advanced. Many launched fearless charges towards the Black Mire. After all, under the Grand Heavenly Venerate's power, everyone could be resurrected, so there was nothing to fear. Conversely, if they could by chance slay this Spirit of Heaven and Earth, it would truly be a step towards ascending to greatness!

Though the Spirit of Heaven and Earth with its Dao Integration combat power was formidable, even ants could bite an elephant to death! Indeed, there were quite a few cultivators who held this belief. Under their strenuous fighting, the outward expansion of the Black Mire was indeed halted.

Just as the cultivators were overjoyed, thinking the Black Mire had weakened, a dazzling golden figure suddenly flew out from the black swamp. Before anyone could react, it streaked across the sky and disappeared without a trace. After the golden figure departed, the rampaging Black Mire, for reasons unknown, all receded deep underground.

"That was...""The True Immortal remains?"

Among the stunned crowd, someone suddenly cried out in a trembling voice. After a moment of silence, the crowd instantly erupted. Because from that fleeting glimpse, the figure was indeed strikingly similar to the one that had appeared on the firmament not long ago! Moreover, it could suppress the Dao Integration Black Mire with just its aura...

After a moment of stunned silence, the cultivators present all reacted, chasing after where the golden light had vanished. Only a few cultivators, after a moment of hesitation, still launched an attack towards the deep recesses of the mountain where the Black Mire had re-emerged.

Unfortunately, the Black Mire, having retreated to its lair, became even more ferocious and tyrannical than before. It seemed to have even significantly increased its power. Without exception, all these cultivators perished there. But even a complete wipeout could not deter the cultivators' greed. After all, everyone could be resurrected! Thus, cultivators, hearing the news, came rushing continuously to their deaths.

The appearance of the Black Mire and the True Immortal remains quickly spread throughout the Myriad Immortals Alliance. The golden figure, capable of inciting a rampage from the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, gradually garnered the attention of more and more cultivators. Subsequently, wherever the True Immortal remains went, without exception, a Spirit of Heaven and Earth inexplicably appeared, seemingly intent on suppressing these remains.

They had never known that the Xuang Huang Realm hid so many Spirits of Heaven and Earth. For a time, cultivators were stunned by this grand spectacle. Almost every few days, news of a new Spirit of Heaven and Earth emerging would be heard. And those cultivators in the Myriad Immortals Alliance who had long been stuck at the Soul Transformation stage were all verging on madness. They could no longer sit still and went to hunt their desired Spirits of Heaven and Earth. However, even more cultivators still focused their attention on the True Immortal remains.

The cultivators' desire for the True Immortal remains surged to a climax after a certain event occurred. A mortal named Zhang Haobo, after being fortunate enough to touch the True Immortal remains that suddenly appeared before him, instantly ascended from a mere mortal to the perfected Golden Core stage! The wondrous item that allowed him to establish his foundation was strikingly a rib-shaped object! Unfortunately, the True Immortal remains only stayed by his side for a moment before suddenly disappearing and fleeing again. Otherwise, it might not have been impossible for Zhang Haobo to instantly ascend to the Soul Transformation stage!

After the cultivators investigated Zhang Haobo's identity and background, they ruled out the possibility that he was faking it or putting on a show. After all, the memories of nearly a hundred mortals who were by his side and witnessed the miracle firsthand were all sound!

"The True Immortal remains must be seeking someone with destined affinity.""Ouyang Tian was like this, and so was Zhang Haobo! However, their karmic fortune was insufficient, and they were ultimately not chosen by the True Immortal remains.""But, if one could ultimately obtain it..."
