Chapter 3: Not for Immortality, but to Wait for You in the Mortal World

Chapter 3: Not for Immortality, but to Wait for You in the Mortal World

Countless star regions span the boundless cosmos, yet few can truly be called cradles of life.

Shaohua had never visited Earth before. She knew that, no matter how similar it might be, it was not the homeland of her past life.

Of course, at her level, finding a life-source planet in the vast universe wasn't difficult. Moreover, Earth had once been a place of great splendor, and its star coordinates were no secret.

Shaohua had initially planned to call her parents to join her, but with the Xianzhen Chart, she no longer needed to trouble them. She could go alone.

As the stars shifted, a water-blue planet appeared before her.

Looking at the familiar landmasses, a wave of emotion stirred within her. Sadly, this was just a planet that resembled her past life’s world.

The water-blue planet wasn’t very large, far from matching the grandeur of the Big Dipper Star Region, yet it exuded a mysterious and vast energy, as if some supreme being lay dormant there.

"Earth, the Primordial Ancient Star."

Shaohua's eyes flickered, and she took a step, landing on the moon, where she sensed a hint of Supreme Yin Sacred Force.

In ancient times, this place must have been a source of Yin energy. Unfortunately, it had long since dissipated, leaving behind only cold rocks and lunar soil.

"There's no Cold Palace here."

She strolled gracefully across the moon, her green robe fluttering, but found nothing. If she had time in the future, she might leave a small archaeological surprise for future generations.

With a light laugh, her gaze swept over the nearby red planet, the Mars of Antiquity, which was also a place of great significance.

Then she turned her eyes to Earth, noticing that its Celestial Dao was not as broken and spirit-depleted as she had imagined. It was not a nearly spiritless era of the Last Dharma.

Of course, it was far from an ideal place for cultivation, not even close to the ancient star regions like the Big Dipper and Ziwei. Only a few Sages resided here.

After all, this was still a significant era. Logically, a life-source planet like Earth should have at least one Great Sage, and it wouldn’t be surprising if a Quasi-Emperor were to emerge.

"Success and failure, both hinged on the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains." Shaohua knew many things and quickly uncovered the truth.

When the Immortality Cauldron was born, the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains overflowed with essence, and Earth, which had not completely dried up, became even more vibrant and renowned in the universe.

Unfortunately, the Feather Ascension Dynasty later attempted to repair the Imperial Sovereign's Immortality Cauldron by placing the fractured Emerald Cauldron back at its birthplace, hoping to restore it.

Then came the story of Han Ren Da Di and her brother. Even the Immortal-Birthland within the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains was shattered by Han Ren Da Di's palm.

The damaged Immortality Cauldron was not taken by Han Ren Da Di. She cared little for the hope of immortality, driven only by the desire to wait for someone in the mortal world.

But the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains remained, slowly repairing the Emerald Cauldron, and Earth's essence was continuously drained, making cultivation increasingly difficult.

By the time twenty thousand years had passed, Earth had fully entered the Last Dharma Era.

Shaohua's current era was not far removed from Han Ren Da Di's. Some of his stories still circulated, and even his Dao Tradition persisted, unlike in later times when he was largely forgotten.

Putting aside her thoughts, she descended to Earth and arrived at the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, deep within the Kunlun Mountains.

The mighty Kunlun, vast and grand, spanned the heavens and earth, pressing down on the eight desolates.

Shaohua took out the Xianzhen Chart and entered the mountains. She encountered many ancient beasts, some of which, in their ignorance, dared to attack her.

Sometimes, being too thorough in concealing one's aura could be a disadvantage.

She shook her head, and a near-Grand Emperor aura flashed from her body. The myriad beasts instantly knelt in reverence, trembling and daring not to act rashly.

Without venturing too deep, she came across a half-Spirit Medicine, a human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum, about half a meter tall. It seemed to be fleeing from something, moving through the earth's veins, only to collide with Shaohua’s feet.

Old Polygonum multiflorum was instantly dumbfounded. Its hazy consciousness detected that it had encountered a being it couldn't afford to provoke. Without knowing from whom it had learned this, it quickly knelt down and sent a vague plea for mercy.

Shaohua couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm only here for the Immortal God Medicine; I won't harm you."

Although the old Polygonum multiflorum was wondrous, it couldn't compare to the Immortal God Medicine and couldn't leave this place, so it wasn't of much use to her.

Naturally, the old Polygonum multiflorum was immensely grateful to Shaohua, bowing repeatedly. Just as it was about to leave, a white figure suddenly darted over.

Shaohua instinctively reached out and caught the harmless little creature.

When she looked closely, she couldn't help but blink, a slightly peculiar smile appearing on her beautiful face.

It was a small white tiger, only a little over a foot long, emitting a fragrant aroma, with Dao rules swirling around it, radiating a mysterious and auspicious light, which was quite astonishing.

Ah, this was no ordinary creature; it was clearly the famous White Tiger God Medicine, resembling a small white tiger with leaves and stems, entirely white like jade, shimmering with a brilliant light and exuding a divine aura.

"Little darling, come into my arms", Shaohua said as she gently picked up the White Tiger God Medicine.

The White Tiger God Medicine didn't struggle, lying quietly in her arms like a well-behaved kitten, hoping to find protection and not have to worry about others trying to take it.

Shaohua felt a wave of emotion, realizing she was receiving the treatment of a protagonist, with the Immortal God Medicine willingly following her. She recalled that when she had tamed the Primordial Life Tree in the Mythical Realm, it hadn't been nearly as effortless.

There were only a few Immortal God Medicines in the world, each unique. It was said that every Grand Emperor would have one Immortal God Medicine that would accompany them throughout their life, containing shocking great secrets.

Thus, the Primordial Life Tree actually belonged to Shaohua's family. There were rumors that the Western Emperor possessed the Immortal God Medicine known as the Primordial Life Tree.

Shaohua thought, "Surely, if all the other Grand Emperors and Ancient Emperors have an Immortal God Medicine, my mother shouldn't be left out, right?"

She continued deeper into the Kunlun Mountains and found traces left by the Han Ren Da Di.

"I'm going to die; who will take care of my sister?"

"I just can't bear to leave her behind."

"Not for immortality, but to wait for you in this mortal world." A woman's voice seemed to come from the heavens.

"Han Ren Da Di", Shaohua sighed softly, standing there for a long time.

Holding the Xianzhen Ancient Scroll, the Kunlun Array Spirit naturally did not obstruct her. At the Immortality Pool, she encountered another Immortal God Medicine, the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree, being a sentient being with divine abilities to avoid danger, sensed that a great calamity would befall this place in the future and wanted to leave early. Since the White Tiger God Medicine had already taken the lead, the Ginseng Fruit Tree was also willing to follow her.

It was like a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

The Han Ren Da Di didn't care much about these two Immortal God Medicines. She had only taken the Metamorphosis Principle contained in the True Dragon Immortal Medicine and the fusion and division of the Nine-Wonder Immortal Elixir.

At the time, she had come to Kunlun to mourn the loss of her brother, so she had no interest in anything else.

However, Shaohua felt that more was always better. Since the Immortal God Medicines had come to her of their own accord, she had no reason to refuse.

"If it is given and not taken, one will suffer the consequences. I will gladly accept the blessings of this Immortal-Birthland."

Shaohua gazed around, examining her surroundings. The Immortal-Birthland, which originally resembled a placenta, had been shattered by the Han Ren Da Di, transforming into a pool.

At the bottom of the pool lay a fractured cauldron.

The Emerald Cauldron, the Immortality Cauldron, and the Cauldron of the Origin of All Things were all names for it.

"Immortality, relying on this so-called Immortal-Birthland and the so-called Immortality Cauldron won't make one immortal. But I will forge my own path to immortality!"

Wishing you health and longevity, love you all!
