System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible

Over the past three years, Chen Xun had allocated his longevity points to mana, resulting in the following distribution: Strength, 21. Speed, 21. World Soul, 20. Mana, 11.

Upon seeing his fellow disciples, Chen Xun's face immediately lit up with a warm smile, his straw hat making him appear completely harmless.

Leading Black Bull by the reins, Chen Xun approached the edge of the group, his eyes scanning the crowd for a particular figure—Ji Kun.

Now at the ninth level of Qi cultivation, Ji Kun was full of youthful vigor, as if he had found his place among the stars, surrounded and engaged in constant conversation.

Chen Xun smiled faintly, choosing not to disturb him, and instead turned his gaze to the grand hall of the sect leader, where he and Black Bull were once again deeply captivated.

One by one, disciples continued to arrive in front of the grand hall. Among the seven hundred Qi cultivation phase disciples, Chen Xun and Black Bull took their place at the very end, inconspicuous.

Several figures flew out from behind the grand hall, walking on air with a powerful aura, each trailed by a faint glow.

"Golden Elixir cultivators! They can walk on air."

Chen Xun was inwardly shocked, now aware that beyond the Foundation Establishment phase was the Golden Elixir phase, where one could live for a thousand years, the realm of true ancient demons.

In front of the grand hall, all the disciples stood in solemn silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, standing tall and not daring to be disrespectful.

Even Black Bull was so frightened that it broke out in a cold sweat, its keen senses stronger than any human's, aware that these powerful cultivators had the ability to kill them with ease.

Master You Yuanhua stood before everyone, his voice deep and resonant, "The journey to Nandou Mountain is a rare opportunity. I hope all disciples will uphold the honor of the Five Aggregates Sect."

You Yuanhua's demeanor was calm and composed. He surveyed the crowd before him and with a wave of his hand, a celestial melody wafted through the air, echoed by the piercing cries of eagles from a distant valley.

"This mission will be led by Master Wei Shan, an early Golden Elixir cultivator. This demonstrates the sect's high regard for all of you."

Upon hearing this, the seven hundred disciples felt honored and excited, their hearts burning with zeal to contribute to the sect's glory.

Wei Shan, with his white hair flowing yet showing no signs of age, possessed a youthful appearance that left the female disciples' hearts fluttering.

"We will follow the sect leader's command and pay our respects to Master Wei."

The disciples bowed in unison, a gesture of respect for their elder and an acknowledgment of the power they aspired to.

"Disciples, please rise," Wei Shan said with a spring-like tone, devoid of any seniority.

Everyone felt a gentle force lifting them, leaving Chen Xun gaping in awe, his body seemingly out of control.

Roar!

Roar!

...

Suddenly, several piercing screeches tore through the sky as five massive spiritual beasts approached from afar, casting a vast shadow over the entire area and making Chen Xun and Black Bull's scalps tingle.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The ground shook as the five enormous spiritual beasts landed in front of the grand hall. Their sharp eagle eyes and wing feathers, which seemed harder than Chen Xun's Mountain-axing axe, were intimidating.

"These are Azure Cliff Eagles, at the mid-Foundation Establishment level. No need to worry."

Wei Shan smiled faintly and stepped onto the back of the central Azure Cliff Eagle. "Everyone, come aboard."

Chen Xun hurriedly led Black Bull to the edge where the last Azure Cliff Eagle was perched, feeling dwarfed by its immense size.

"Bull, get on the sword, let's fly up," Chen Xun said, pulling out the Immortal Sword from his Storage Bag and swiftly flying up with Black Bull.@@novelbin@@

Suddenly, the Azure Cliff Eagle turned its head to give Black Bull a mocking look, as if seeing prey.

Black Bull was furious, and if not for Chen Xun holding it back, it would have charged, thinking, "Am I your food?!"

"Bull, calm down, do it for me," Chen Xun quickly soothed in a low voice. "Can it live past you? Later, we'll steal its eggs and make it cry."

"Moo~!" Black Bull grunted fiercely, giving Chen Xun face.

While Chen Xun still held onto Black Bull, the other disciples sat in meditation, gathering their energy but with visible tension in their eyes.

With a flick of his finger, Wei Shan enveloped the bodies of the Azure Cliff Eagles with a pale blue mana shield.

He bowed to the grand hall, and the few people there nodded back with smiles.

"Have a safe journey," a voice echoed in the ears of all disciples, the voice of the sect leader.

Hum—

Hum—

Hum—

...

The Azure Cliff Eagles soared into the sky, their cries piercing the air as the ground below became a whirlwind of dust, and the landscape shrank away, leaving Chen Xun feeling uneasy.

As the Azure Cliff Eagles disappeared into the depths of the mountain range, countless disciples on the ground gasped in admiration at the sight of the Five Aggregates Sect's seven hundred brave warriors.

"Bull, we're really about to witness a grand event this time," Chen Xun said excitedly, looking at the surrounding clouds and unfamiliar peaks piercing the sky, swiftly passed by the Azure Cliff Eagles.

"This speed is incredible," Chen Xun marveled, much faster than the Flying Boat he had once ridden.

"Moo~ Moo~" Black Bull was exhilarated, finally leaving their small village to see the world beyond.

Chen Xun gazed into the distance, ready for whatever lay ahead, having spent the past six months learning about the Secret realm of Nandou Mountain.

The ten great immortal sects had each sent fifteen hundred disciples, strong and numerous, the true winners of Nandou Mountain.

But the vastness of Nandou Mountain, the grandest peak in the Kingdom Qian, required not only strength but also luck to navigate.

Many smaller sects, though sending only a hundred disciples, often found great fortune, returning with countless spiritual herbs.

"Bull, we must be cautious of the demonic beasts and spiritual beasts inside; they are not friendly to humans," Chen Xun whispered. The spiritual qi in Nandou Mountain was suppressed, making these creatures unable to advance to the Foundation Establishment phase and turning them exceedingly irritable, attacking humans on sight.

This was what he had heard from the elders in the sect: these beasts, even stronger than the tenth level of Qi cultivation, were between the levels of Foundation Establishment.

"Moo!" Black Bull nodded solemnly, well aware.

They had heard countless rumors over the past six months; many disciples had perished at the hands of these creatures, guarding the Foundation Establishment spiritual herbs.

Gradually, Chen Xun and Black Bull also settled their minds and ceased their chatter.

The Azure Cliff Eagles flew through various territories, sometimes attacked by other demonic beasts, but with a mere display of Wei Shan's aura, the attackers fled in terror.

Half a month later, the Azure Cliff Eagles slowed as Nandou Mountain appeared, nineteen majestic peaks connected as one, like a serpentine dragon reaching for the skies.

It stood like a giant among the mountains, looking down mercilessly upon the land and the cultivators who approached, making even the Azure Cliff Eagles seem minuscule.

"My heavens, such a breathtaking sight exists in this world," Chen Xun exclaimed, standing in awe.

Black Bull was equally mesmerized, standing still, realizing their own insignificance.

Looking to the farthest reaches, where strange peaks stood tall, mountains stretched endlessly, lush and steep, shrouded in clouds and mist, enveloped by a grand formation.

Chen Xun marveled, realizing it must have taken countless powerful cultivators to seal this place; even Elder Wei would pale in comparison, the work of an incredibly formidable cultivator.

The five Azure Cliff Eagles landed in an open area where cultivators from various sects gathered, their gazes hostile as they looked towards the Five Aggregates Sect before turning away.

To the north of the clearing lay the interior of Nandou Mountain, filled with towering ancient trees, dark and silent, exuding an ancient aura that commanded reverence.
