Chapter 16: The Pain of Scattering Immortals

"Senior, isn't it still possible to transfer to cultivating scattered immortals?" Hearing Sikong Picking Star describe the cultivation process as so difficult, Dugu Hunting, who had never experienced this aspect before, couldn't help but look abnormal and tremble violently, especially after seeing that such a great master in the late stage of the merger as Sikong Picking Star still did not have complete confidence in surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, his heart was even more shocked and panicked. Secretly comparing his own cultivation strength, he became more and more worried about his future, and couldn't help but ask about the situation of transferring to a cultivator.

Being in the small heaven outside the sky, which has always been known as the "Scattered Immortal World", he can often see the figure of the scattered immortals, and he usually hears a lot of legends of the scattered immortals, and has an understanding of the cultivation status of the scattered immortals, knowing that it is a way to avoid the catastrophe.

"Hehe, Dugu boy, I've been confused by the cultivation strength of the scattered immortals!" Seeing that Dugu Hunt finally couldn't help but ask about the situation of the scattered immortals, Sikong Xingxing couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled, and the negative meaning in his tone was obvious. Obviously, he didn't approve of the method of turning to the Scattered Immortals and using this to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation, and he didn't want to go down that path.

Looking at Dugu Hunt's somewhat puzzled gaze, Sikong Xingxing sighed lightly again, and continued to say in a deep voice: "Although the scattered immortals seem to have infinite scenery and are almost invincible in the cultivation realm, they are actually a group of poor people who have no hope. ...... In the cultivation realm without immortal aura, the cultivation effect of scattered immortals is very poor, and they can only transform the aura of heaven and earth into immortal qi little by little, so as to improve their cultivation, if they want to improve a realm, they don't know how much time and energy it will take, and the final result may not be satisfactory.

Even if there is still some immortal aura left in our small heaven outside the sky, which can be provided to the scattered immortals for cultivation, it is still insignificant compared to the environment of the immortal world, and the world is far away, that is, it is better than nothing, and it is also extremely difficult to cultivate. Therefore, the cultivators who have transferred to the Scattered Immortals usually do not leave their homes at all, and concentrate on retreat and cultivation, just to seize the time and accumulate enough strength so that they can safely survive the test of the Heavenly Tribulation once in a thousand years.

And the scattered immortals cross the heavenly tribulation once every thousand years, and they have to cross a total of ten times before and after to achieve the right fruit and fly to the immortal realm again. However, this Scattered Immortal Heavenly Tribulation is getting more and more powerful every time, and if you survive it, you can continue to exist, and then cultivate; if you don't survive it, you will immediately be wiped out, and there is no other chance to escape from it at all. In fact, very few of the scattered immortals were able to survive more than five Heavenly Tribulations, and they were basically destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulations early. Therefore, Sanxian is a group of guys who struggle with time, if it is not a last resort, no one will embark on this road of no return!

To be honest, during the time when he first came to Xiaotian Outer Heaven, the old man also had the same idea of cultivating scattered immortals like you. After all, there are too many legends of scattered immortals, and their invincible strength in the cultivation realm is an extremely powerful temptation, and it is difficult for ordinary people not to have a reverie. Especially for loose cultivators like us, we are inherently at a lot of disadvantages compared to those cultivators of the top sects, and it is absolutely normal to have the idea of turning to cultivating scattered immortals and raising their eyebrows!

It's just that with the increase of cultivation, with the deepening of knowledge, and with the long-term contact with many scattered immortals, the old man has also become more and more aware of the hardships and difficulties behind the surface of the scattered immortals, and deeply feels the misery and helplessness of the scattered immortal cultivators. By now, the old man had completely dispelled the idea of cultivating scattered immortals, especially when he cultivated to the late stage of the merger period, when the Heavenly Tribulation was about to come, he didn't dare to be half-hearted and indecisive. At this time, the old man has already made up his mind to go all out, make full preparations to deal with the catastrophe, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent!

Although the tribulation is nine deaths, there is still the possibility of success in the end, and there is also the hope of ascending to immortal if you are well prepared, and once you cultivate the scattered immortals, it is completely on a dead end, and the door of the immortal world is almost completely closed. The Ten Scattered Immortal Heavenly Tribulations that were more and more powerful each time were not something that cultivators in the human realm could deal with at all, and without special opportunities and means, there was absolutely no hope of successfully surviving them.

In the past 100,000 years, there are only a handful of scattered immortals in the cultivation realm who have truly survived nine scattered immortal tribulations, survived a thousand thunder building immortal tribulations, and successfully ascended to the immortal realm. Moreover, according to the legends circulating among the scattered immortals, the reason why Xingyun Zhenren was able to survive the tribulation safely and successfully ascend to the immortal realm was that in addition to his own efforts, there was also a top-level treasure called the Nine Tribulation Substitute Puppet that played an absolutely crucial role in it, without that treasure, he would not have succeeded in the tribulation at all.

It's a pity that that treasure was only glimpsed when the Nebula Zhenren's cave was born, and it was known to everyone, and it immediately triggered a fierce battle that affected the entire small heaven and caused the death of many scattered immortals, and when the battle finally subsided, it had completely disappeared and completely disappeared into the vast universe. So far, although there are many scattered immortals who still follow the traces of this treasure with no end in their hearts, no one has found even a trace of it. Therefore, if you want to replicate the success of Nebula's real people, there is no longer any possibility.

This is the only well-known case of success in cultivating scattered immortals, as for the other scattered immortals who have ascended to immortals, no one knows exactly how they cultivated, and what lessons they have learned, let alone know anything, even if they want to learn from their successful experience, they don't have any clue at all. At present, many of these scattered immortals who are active in Xiaotian Outer Heaven are still ignorant when they cultivate, and they do not have a clear goal, they are completely crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they have suffered a heavenly tribulation, and when they really can't survive the heavenly tribulation, they can only sit and wait for death, closing their eyes and waiting for death.

From here, it can also be seen that the cultivation of scattered immortals is difficult, except for the fact that they can live for a longer period of time, there is no end to success at all, which is worse than going through the catastrophe of nine deaths and a lifetime. According to the masters of the scattered immortals that the old man knew, after truly cultivating the scattered immortals, they instead hoped that they could show the courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat when they crossed the tribulation, and did their best to fight against the tribulation to the end. ......”

"Hehe, these masters are busy in vain, the stand-in puppet has long disappeared completely, and its last user is me, a cultivator who has only just been out of the body. ...... I'm afraid no one will believe this kind of thing!" I heard from Sikong Xingxing that there are still people tracking the Nine Tribulations stand-in puppet that was born from the Nebula True Cave Mansion, although Ye Qiuli's face maintained a serious look, but he smiled in his heart. The role played by the stand-in puppet in his hands is obviously far beyond the ordinary tribulation, and it has completely achieved a qualitative mutation.

"Ah, it's so difficult to cultivate Scattered Immortals!" After listening to Sikong Picking Star's detailed explanation of Scattered Immortals, Dugu Hunt also felt concerned, and immediately dispelled the idea of turning to Scattered Immortals. Although he was fascinated by the super strength of the Scattered Immortals, he couldn't help but retreat when he thought of the difficult journey after cultivating the Scattered Immortals. He didn't think that he had the qualifications and ability to become a top-level scattered immortal that rarely appeared a few times in 100,000 years, and in the end, he still learned from the experience of picking stars and worked hard to survive the heavenly tribulation.

Seeing that Ye Qiuli and Dugu Hunt were completely attracted by their own narration, and treated their vigilance with a very serious attitude, Sikong Xingxing's heart was also quite pleased, and when he chuckled, he continued: "The old man may not know much about other aspects of the cultivation of scattered immortals, but the old man is convinced about this, if it is really a feasible way to cultivate scattered immortals, then the scattered immortals in the cultivation realm will not be so rare! Those famous people are not fools, if they could, I am afraid they would have done so a long time ago!"

And what is the actual situation? Among the countless scattered immortal cultivators living in the small heavens and outer heavens, except for those who have to change to cultivating scattered immortals after encountering unexpected changes and losing their physical bodies, most of the other people who really take the initiative to change to cultivating scattered immortals when the heavenly tribulation is coming are scattered cultivators without sects, and those scattered immortals who were born in famous sects are almost all cultivated after escaping from the Yuan Infant at the last moment of the tribulation, and this situation is also very rare.

After all, it is not a simple matter to escape the Yuan Infant at the last moment of the Heavenly Tribulation, and that kind of probability is basically not much different from the success of the Tribulation, not that the strength is extremely strong, and it is impossible to do that at all.

And in the small heavens and outer heavens, almost all the scattered immortals who have cultivated to the advanced realm are such people, and they are the ones who are really likely to soar to the immortal realm again, and they are the ones who are only half a step away from the immortal realm. Those who were afraid of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation early on and gave up on themselves would never have any hope of ascending to immortality, even if they cultivated to become a scattered immortal, because fear had already been buried deep in the depths of their souls!"

“...... No matter what you cultivate, you must have a fearless spirit and never give up easily. Once you are afraid of danger and retreat from difficulties, then your cultivation future will basically end here, from now on, if there is no special opportunity, there is not much room for development, and if you cultivate for a lifetime, you will inevitably die under the heavenly tribulation in the end, and all your endless efforts will be put into flowing water!"
