Aspiring to the Immortal Path-Chapter 909: Completion

After shattering Tang Jie's original body, the Heavenly Tribulation finally dispersed, leaving behind only the devastated hidden realm.

Xu Miaoran, Yiyi, and the Vermillion Bird were all stunned.

The original body was dead?

They didn't dare to believe their eyes.

But before they had any time to be sad, energy roiled, and a person stepped out of the void. Who else could it be but Tang Jie?

"Tang Jie!" Xu Miaoran and the others said in delight, and then they entered a state of shock.

Wasn't being reborn from ashes the power of an Earth Immortal? How could the original body do it?

"Why do you think it's called the Immortal Spirit Body?" the avatar Tang Jie casually remarked.

A body cultivator couldn't compare to a law cultivator when it came to spell arts and flexibility, but it was far superior when it came to life force. A complete Immortal Spirit Body could display the ability of an Earth Immortal, which alone proved the value of the Parting Classic.

The original body flew over to Xu Miaoran and company.

Xu Miaoran gleefully threw herself into Tang Jie's embrace. "It's finally passed. Is everything okay now?"

"'Okay'? Temporarily," Tang Jie sighed.

Xu Miaoran was taken aback. "Are you saying that there's going to be more trouble?"

After some thought, Tang Jie recounted how he had seen the Martial Lord swing his axe at the Heavenly Dao.

"The Parting Classic goes against the Dao, and because the Martial Lord took a path that defies the heavens, the heavens could not tolerate his existence. Since I've inherited his legacy, I've become hated by the world. Unless I give up on the legacy, Heavenly Tribulations like this will be unavoidable…"

Xu Miaoran and the others were aghast to hear that there would be more to come.

Seeing how horrified they were, Tang Jie decided to not say the second part of his sentence: "and they will become harder and harder to deal with." Changing his tone, he said, "Don't worry. I held out once, so I'll naturally be able to hold out in the future."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Miaoran had always believed in Tang Jie. Since he said it was fine, then it would be fine.

But Yiyi was still worried. "Big Brother, why don't you stop cultivating the Weapon Dao. Defying the heavens and being rejected by the world… There's still time to stop."

Tang Jie shook his head. "Putting aside all of the mysteries within the Martial Lord's Dao, even if there weren't any, I got where I am today thanks to the Martial Lord's legacy. I can't give up just because there's danger. A real man holds up the heavens, so going against the Dao is only a minor matter."

He spoke these words with great indifference, but this only made him seem more heroic and admirable in the eyes of these women.

While Tang Jie's original body was domineering and heroic, the avatar Tang Jie was a transcendent and elegant scholar.

Now that the original body had said his piece, the avatar said, "A while ago, Immortal Ji Yao said that since nobody could comprehend the Heavenly Dao, it must not exist, but it appears now that she was wrong. The Heavenly Dao cannot be comprehended, but people can go against it! Since people can go against this Dao, then it must exist!"

Yiyi didn't understand the meaning of this. "Why does that matter? Its existence doesn't concern us."

"Wrong!" the two Tang Jies said in unison. "It is very important."

"How so?" everyone asked.

"To know of the Heavenly Dao's existence is to know that the cultivator is still far from reaching the end of the Immortal path. To know of the Heavenly Dao's existence is to know that we have a new and even greater goal to pursue. To know of the Heavenly Dao's existence is to know that comprehending it is no longer impossible despite no one ever succeeding before… To know of the Heavenly Dao's existence is to give a cultivator's life a new purpose…"

Tang Jie's voice drifted off as he became immersed in excitement for the future that awaited him.

This endless desire toward the Heavenly Dao was a characteristic that every great powerhouse was bound to have, or else they would have never become so powerful in the first place.

This was why discussing the Dao was so important for cultivators, as that was the only way to light the path forward. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Through this revelation, the avatar Tang Jie suddenly flashed with divine light that signaled that he had comprehended something.

Xu Miaoran smiled. "Husband, what did you comprehend this time?"

Tang Jie smiled and shook his head. "Thanks to the blessing of the heavens, as the Heavenly Tribulation blasted the original body with the powers of Destruction and Slaughter, I was able to absorb the Dao Wills within them and derive some benefit."

"What kind of benefit?" everyone asked.

Tang Jie coolly replied, "It's nothing much. I just completed the Skyrend Swordfall and Ten Extinctions Blade."
