Chapter 254 I am a little fish (9)
A soft "clang" was the crisp sound of a teacup hitting the table.
"Does that monster still come looking for you every day?"
As soon as Meng Li opened her mouth, Jing Li tensed up all over.
Now he knows that this unknown monster is Chunqi, but he doesn't know Meng Li's attitude towards it.
Without time to think too much, Jingli honestly replied, "I came yesterday, but... I was driven away by my companions."
"Oh."
Meng Li answered indifferently, then asked, "When you parted ways with your companion, why didn't you seem as reluctant as he was?"
Upon hearing this, Jingli naturally knelt down beside Meng Li's bed, her expression showing no fear, only seriousness.
“My companions and I were all enlightened by you, sister. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t even be in human form now. Therefore, even if I have to be separated from my companions, I am still willing to stay by your side, sister.”
Meng Li raised her eyes and scrutinized Jing Li: "Oh? So you're not worried at all that your companion might encounter misfortune while following that money-grubbing cultivator?"
Jingli thought to herself that Lu Mingguang would definitely protect 6058 well.
He couldn't say anything, so he could only maintain a poker face and cup his hands in a gesture of respect towards Meng Li.
“That’s someone my sister trusts, and I believe in her.” He paused. “If something truly happens to us, it’s just our destiny.”
"Is there a calamity in your destiny? Ha...hahaha!" Meng Li laughed, her eyes crinkling with laughter, tears welling in her eyes. "Little Koi, you really are cold-hearted. He risked his life to stand in front of you before."
From Meng Li's perspective, that is indeed the case.
Jingli didn't know what to say for a moment, so she simply shut up and stopped talking.
“There’s a good thing about being cold-hearted; at least you’re not so easily hurt.” As she said this, Meng Li’s eyes began to glaze over again. Taking advantage of this moment, Jing Li summoned a ball of energy and skillfully conjured a small lamp, placing it between Meng Li and himself.
Meng Li quickly came to her senses: "I've decided to take you out to gain experience. Staying in this place is just like working in isolation, but this vast world is not static."
Jingli pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Sister, is our trip out because of what that immortal mentioned earlier... the divine revelation?"
"Heh." Meng Li sneered, taking another sip of tea. "I have no interest in becoming an immortal."
Jingli remained silent, quietly noting down Meng Li's words about "becoming an immortal." It seemed that this was the direction of the so-called "divine revelation."
The divine revelation came from Lu Mingguang, which most likely represents the will of Mr. Yuan (the original body). It seems that Zero Realm has recovered somewhat, allowing them to take some countermeasures against the severely polluted world.
Given that this countermeasure is related to achieving immortality, and considering that this world itself is a world of cultivation, it is not difficult to deduce that the tricks Sefosi did in this world must also be related to achieving immortality.
Although Jingli and Mengli were not very familiar with each other, Jingli did not doubt Mengli's claim that she had no intention of becoming an immortal.
In the original world, although Meng Li became a powerful figure, she was not eager to truly become an immortal. For her, it seemed that contributing some power to protect a world was enough.
Of course, this only applies to Meng Li before she turns evil. Jing Li can't figure out what Meng Li is thinking right now.
"Then I won't say anything more, sister, please don't be angry."
Jingli obediently lowered her head, revealing her neck with light pink marks to Meng Li, completely at Meng Li's mercy.
This gesture clearly pleased Meng Li.
"You should return to the spirit spring in your original form for the next two days. Perhaps that will help you avoid the demon." She looked somewhat weary and waved for Jingli to leave. "We will set off in two days."
"I see."
Meng Li waved her hand again, and cracks appeared in mid-air once more. A familiar suction force came, and Jing Li returned to the outer courtyard where he and 6058 had previously been.
It had only been a little over ten minutes since Lu Mingguang and his group left.
Jingli sent his guesses and the fact that Mengli would take him on a trip to the observer system. While waiting for a response, he reviewed the original timeline and began to search for information related to "immortals".
When he was still a little fish, 6058 once told Jingli that a world of the cultivation level would inevitably develop its own set of rules.
For example, in some worlds, the mortal realm and the cultivation realm are together without a clear boundary. In some worlds, there is not even a royal palace. Each piece of land is guarded by a powerful being.
Generally speaking, the "immortality" cultivated in this world is only a breakthrough of potential, rather than a true ascension to immortality.
In some worlds, there is a barrier between the cultivation world and the mortal world. In some of these worlds, there exists a true "immortal world," which is naturally separated from the cultivation world.
The purpose of cultivating immortality is simply to use a mortal body to break through this barrier.
The world they live in, from a timeline perspective, does not fall into this category.
Jingli frowned.
This world is clearly one where there is a boundary between the mortal realm and the cultivation realm. However, from the perspective of the original timeline, there are no truly powerful beings who have cultivated to become immortals.
In other words, the "immortal realm" probably doesn't exist in this world, and the ultimate goal of cultivating immortality is simply to compete with the heavens for longevity.
In the "divine revelation" brought by Lu Mingguang, where did the "immortal" come from?
Jingli also posted this discovery into the system, and soon after, Lu Mingguang gave a reply.
[Lu Xiaoming: It's been a while, but our little idiot has gotten smarter! That's right, the divine revelation is indeed what we used to deal with Sefosi's pollution of this world.]
[Lu Xiaoming: Just as you said, no one in this world has ever truly cultivated to become an "immortal." Everyone is feeling their way across the river by feeling for stones on this path.]
[Lu Xiaoming: But about twenty years ago, a powerful being perished, and he announced that the passage to the Immortal Realm had been closed.]
[Lu Xiaoming: However, this matter soon took a turn for the better. News came from somewhere that the closure of the ascension channel was not irreversible. Just as an ordinary person entering the cultivation world from the mortal realm needs to rely on their own "enlightenment" to open a rift to awaken their potential spiritual roots, there is also a "rift" between the cultivation world and the true immortal realm.]
[Lu Xiaoming: From then on, an organization called "Pathfinder" appeared in this world, and began searching everywhere for the so-called Rift.]
Jingli understood: [Then it seems this news was leaked by Sefosi.]
[Lu Xiaoming: That's right, but it's far more than that. Just like the first and third worlds you visited, he used the same trick again, introducing some "transmigrators" or "resurrected individuals" into these worlds. Combined with the turmoil in the entire cultivation world, he disrupted the Dao hearts of powerful figures like Meng Li.]
[Lu Xiaoming: So, this is the situation we have now.]

The seemingly insignificant fish: I don't care about my companions at all.
The little fish in reality: Mom and Dad went to enjoy their time together, sob sob sob.
