I Found A Planet

Chapter 476: Detecting One’s Root Of Immortality

Chen Jin walked aimlessly in his search for signs of human habitation as he digested his inheritance.

The boundaries of inheritance were different from the divisions of the Protoss on Earth. The Jushen phase corresponded to the Merging period. The Jushen cultivation method of the Protoss was to condense the mind and the body so that the soul could better experience Heaven and Earth, thereby laying down the foundations of the law of enlightenment. basis. The Shenguang phase corresponded to the pinnacle of the Merging phase–the half-step Mahayana. As the saying went, as long as one’s spiritual light was not extinguished, his immortal power would never end. During the Shenguang phase was an important phase whereby the magic power in one’s body was transformed into an immortal’s power. When the body’s magic power had been completely transformed into immortal power, one would enter the Sage phase (Mahayana). With the law of enlightenment gained during the Mahayana phase and after one had fully adjusted to the immortal power in one’s body, one could start his Tribulations Survival (Dujie) to become an immortal. Therefore, after Chen Jin had been through a physical metamorphosis and fully transformed the magic power in his body into immortal power, he naturally advanced to the Mahayana.

“So the ‘Emperor’s Scripture’ is only a basic cultivation method. Fortunately, the inheritance allowed me to directly understand the meaning. If it was conveyed through words. I really wouldn’t be able to understand anything,” Chen Jin could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. “It seems that I can only be an illiterate person in the immortal world.”

As Chen Jin absorbed the inheritance in his mind, a youth in traditional Chinese attire walked straight towards him. The young man was still a distance away but his voice had already reached Chen Jin’s ear. “Fellow Brother, are you also going to participate in the entrance examination by the Xintan Sect?” Chen Jin was over two hundred years old, however, after his metamorphosis, his appearance had returned to how it was when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. Because the magic power in his body had all been transformed into immortal power, cultivators who were at an equal or lower realm than Chen Jin would not be able to discern his cultivation level.

When Chen Jin heard the voice, he could not help but draw a blank. Oh no, what is he saying? He couldn’t understand a word. He could not even understand the language and script of the Immortal World, how could he communicate with other people?

As Chen Jin was pondering this issue, the youth had already arrived in front of him. There was no way they could communicate by simply staring at each other. After a while, the youth seemed to have realized something, he retrieved a rolled-up scroll made with strips of jade. Although it was only a slight casting, the youth’s forehead was covered in a sheen of sweat. He then raised his hand and pointed to Chen Jin’s forehead. To Chen Jin’s surprise, a segment of information was transmitted into his mind. Chen Jin tidied up the information in his mind and discovered that the information transmitted was the language and script of the Immortal World. Naturally, it was not difficult for Chen Jin to master this language since he already had a smart chip implanted in himself.

“Much thanks, fellow brother. I am Chen Jin, and you are?” Chen Jin said. Although he said it very awkwardly, at least he had learned the language of the Immortal World.

The young man could not help but become speechless. Even a spiritual master would need the time that it took an incense stick to burn down (about 30 minutes) to fully process and accept such a huge amount of information. This guy appeared to be on the same level of cultivation as him, but he had learned and mastered the information in a short period. He was a freak.

The youth quickly said, “I am Fang Bin, are you going to participate in the entrance exam of the Xintan Sect?”

“Entry exam? What is that?”

“It seems that you are not going to participate,” The youth was slightly disappointed. He said, “The entrance exam is for those who want to join the sects and become their disciple. But the sects don’t just accept anyone, hence the entry exam. For those like me who have just joined the cultivation-immortal world, it is better to conduct my studies within the system of the sects than to be self-taught.” The young man’s words ended. Chen Jin’s eyes grew brighter. Of course, it was better to join the sects if he wanted to know more about the immortal world.

“That’s good too, I want to join a sect as well. May I request my fellow friend to bring me along for the application.”

“Yay, let’s go,” In his heart, the young man couldn’t help but feel happy. He heard that participants who brought along a friend for the application would get two lower-grade spirit stones if that friend successfully joined the sect.

The youth was very enthusiastic all the way to the exam. He was afraid and that Chen Jin would back out if they were late. Chen Jin’s brow scrunched slightly in a frown. There must be an ulterior motive behind the youth’s enthusiasm. On second thought, it was probably nothing. After all, he was already in the Mahayana phase. The youth had such a low level of cultivation, Chen Jin didn’t have to be so fearful and nervous about the slightest thing. By the way, where did the monkey go? Let’s just forget about it.

In the morning light, Chen Jin and the youth became companions as they traveled. The youth was a chatterbox, he introduced to Chen Jin the country and its local customs. Although he was very noisy, he gave Chen Jin a lot of useful information. This continent was called All Nations’ Mainland. These were the three largest dynasties – Wei, Shu, and Wu. The three states had a similar level of power and none was subservient to any. Although they carried out mutual punitive military expeditions, the relationship between the three could still be considered peaceful. Of the three, Wei’s military was the most powerful, and Wu was the most populous and affluent. The inheritance of Wu had never been broken. No matter how harshly the state was suppressed, its city could still be revived from the dead through a course of lectures. The Shu state was the most mysterious of all three countries. It was said that Shu had, at one point in time, almost unified this continent but then it quickly disintegrated and the continent returned to its original boundaries. Of course, all these were based on what he heard from the elders in his family who traveled long-term. He did not know the specifics of the situation either.

At the same time, Chen Jin also told him that he came from a very distant place. Chen Jin secreted a part of his immortal power in Fang Bin’s body. If he dared to harm Chen Jin, this trace of immortal power would immediately explode from his body and kill him. If the youth did not harm Chen Jin, then this immortal force would slowly improve his constitution, such that he could get further along on his path of cultivation. It could also be considered as his way of repaying the youth’s kindness in passing on his knowledge.

Time flew, and it was about noon when the two finally arrived at the application venue, but there were already tons of people at the venue. The youngest was only seven or eight years old, but the oldest were 15 or 16. Chen Jin was vaguely overage. Chen Jin touched his nose, he could not help but laugh in self-deprecation. A 200-year-old grandpa coming to take the entrance examination with a group of children. What a stretch.

“The root of your immortality is not pure. Rejected, next.”

“Rejected, next”

Soon, it was Fang Bin’s turn. With an expression of apprehension, Fang Bin went forward. He reached out and put his hands on the test instrument. Suddenly, the instrument emitted a faint green light mixed with a trace of yellow in the center. If one did not take a closer look, one would miss that trace of yellow. The middle-aged man dressed in traditional Chinese clothing conducting the test looked at the instrument with a hint of consolation in his expression. “You have the four grades that a root of immortality should possess. You’ve passed the qualification test. Go and stand there,” As he spoke, he pointed to an area not too far behind him where there were seven to eight children.

“It’s my turn. Even though my body had become more suitable for cultivation after going through the Body of A Sage’ Plan, and I’m already at the Mahayana phase, one’s natural aptitude can’t be changed. My original aptitude for cultivation is terrible. I don’t know the exact extent of this test but I am looking forward to it,” Chen Jin thought.

Just as he was preparing to go forward to take the test, the youth who was lined up behind him said, “You’re so much older than me, but you’ve only awakened the roots of your immortality at this age? You’ll fail. It’s shameful to try your luck when you’re so old.”

Chen Jin’s speechlessness was not caused by the mocking of the child, but by how unintentionally accurate his words were. Although his appearance was that of someone who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he was more than two hundred years old. Perhaps it was because he was already an old age and had lived through a lot of experiences, he was not angered by this little incident. He hoped that this original aptitude could show up a little higher. It would be so shameful if he failed.

“Shut up, don’t think you can make a racket here. One more word and I’ll cancel your eligibility to take the test.” Perhaps he hated noise of any sort or perhaps he disliked witnessing ridicule, but the middle-aged man conducting the test slightly raised his brow and berated the child in a loud voice. Suddenly, it became so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Only the footsteps of Chen Jin walking towards to the test instrument could be heard.
