Chapter 1064: Chapter 440: Yuandao Struggle, Invitation from Zhengyang_2 Chapter 1064: Chapter 440: Yuandao Struggle, Invitation from Zhengyang_2 Having become an Immortal, one must strive for the lead at every step to win each time, to win every time.

More than ten thousand years remained until the Yuan Gathering of the eighth epoch, and Han Yi did not know what realm he would reach, but he believed that he would not die in this tribulation.

He walked out from the depths of the palace and approached the entrance of the Immortal Palace. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice, followed its direction, and his eyes flashed with a glimmer, brightening slightly.

In the direction he looked, a middle-aged True Immortal felt his gaze and turned to look back.

“Han Yi?”

The speaker was none other than Li Zhengyang, whom he had not seen for many years. At this moment, Li Zhengyang was talking with several Half-immortals. Upon seeing Han Yi, he instructed the Half-immortals briefly and then walked towards Han Yi with a smile.

Behind him, the Half-immortals respectfully withdrew.

Han Yi watched Li Zhengyang approaching, his eyes flickering, as Li Zhengyang before him had already stepped into the Realm of True Immortal.

Before this, Han Yi was unaware that Li Zhengyang had become an Immortal.

Originally, sensing something in his heart and preparing to Crossing the Immortal Tribulation, he sought an Immortal Artifact. For this, he went to the Immortal Trading Palace’s Zhengyang Pavilion in search of Li Zhengyang, only to fall into Dai Zhe’s trap, which teleported him outside the Immortal Court. After returning from his ordeal and spending half a century in seclusion, he no longer needed the assistance from the Original Art Dojo. He went to the Time Cycle Domain on his own, crossed the Immortal Tribulation, and after another decade of solitary cultivation to assimilate his Law Comprehension, up until this day.

Speaking of which, his fate with the Original Art Dojo seemed destined but missed, always just brushing past.

“Han Yi, you have finally come out of seclusion.”

Li Zhengyang looked at Han Yi and asked:
“Which dojo have you joined?”

Han Yi’s heart stirred, deducing from these two sentences that Li Zhengyang knew he had become immortal, but when he left his seclusion, he did not see Li Zhengyang.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Han Yi nodded in agreement, “I came out of seclusion over a month ago.”

“Congratulations, Li, for your thousands of years of cultivation, eventually stepping into True Immortal, a joyous occasion indeed,” Han Yi said with a congratulatory smile.

Li Zhengyang’s smile was unstoppable as he pointed at Han Yi:
“I cannot compare to Han, who crossed the Immortal Tribulation after only three hundred years of cultivation, a true genius favored by heaven, making me extremely envious.”

“By the way, looking at your expression, it seems you don’t know about my Immortality.”

“Fifty-seven years ago, I attained True Immortality; I then secluded myself for twenty years to stabilize the True Immortal Realm, and spent another thirteen years rebirthing into cultivation. After that, I went to the Ancient Owl Immortal Domain to train in the Original Art Dojo.”

“I only returned three years ago.”

“After I came back, I heard that Han had crossed the Immortal Tribulation in the Time Cycle Domain, but at the time, the Original Art Dojo had already dispatched another True Immortal to wait outside Han’s Immortal Mansion. It was inappropriate for me to intervene, so I hope you understand,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Han Yi suddenly realized.

During the ten years of Han Yi’s seclusion, the True Immortal sent by the Original Art Dojo to wait outside his Immortal Mansion–if they could recruit Han Yi, they would share in the merit and establish a certain connection with him.

If Li Zhengyang were to intervene and seek out Han Yi, the other True Immortal, though he wouldn’t say anything, would definitely feel displeased inside.

Taking this further, within the Original Art Dojo, there were definitely different factions, and Li Zhengyang’s actions were most prudent.

In the Immortal Realm, without the strength to push everything aside, one must act according to the rules, which was not a restraint on Immortals but a form of protection.

Han Yi understood.

Seeing the changes in Han Yi’s expression, Li Zhengyang was further convinced that Han Yi had not chosen the Original Art Dojo, and he asked again:
“Which dojo did you finally choose, Han?”

Han Yi responded, “The Original Art Dojo.”

Li Zhengyang was pleased to hear this,
“Inside the Immortal Court, the Original Art Dojo ranks second among the seats of Immortal Monarchs.”

“It seems that the Original Art Dojo offered terms that Han could not refuse.”

“That’s good. With Han’s talent, with the help of a more powerful dojo, you will surely step into Profound Immortal and have a chance at becoming a Golden Immortal.”

Han Yi felt that Li Zhengyang was more talkative than when he was at the Half-Immortal stage.

Upon reflection, he guessed that it was due to a change in mindset.

Thanks to the Proficiency Panel, Han Yi, despite countless Killing Robberies, cultivated an unshakable mindset and breached the barrier between mortal and Immortal in just a few hundreds of years.

Based on his understanding, Li Zhengyang had been trapped at the peak of Half-Immortal for over three thousand years, surely undergoing several shifts in mindset.

A change in mindset upon attaining Immortality was only natural.

Li Zhengyang’s expression turned serious.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank you for enabling me to take that final step. Otherwise, I would have needed a thousand years to lay the foundation to glimpse the Immortal Path.”

“Oh?” Han Yi was puzzled.

Li Zhengyang explained, “From that strange place in the Immortal Spirit Realm, I acquired the Seven Desires Flame Candle that Han had found. I offered it to Nine Rings, who was ready to start crafting the Seven Desires Bewitching Pill but still lacked a few supplementary ingredients. Just as she was tied up with other matters, I personally went to the Ancient Owl Immortal Domain’s Original Art Dojo to look for them. However, upon reaching the Ancient Owl Immortal Domain, I stumbled into a Mysterious Divine Land.”

“In that Mysterious Divine Land, I had an epiphany, witnessed life and death, and grasped the Tao of cause and effect.”

“After returning to the Immortal Court, I secluded myself for several decades and finally became complete. Only after emerging could I face the Immortal Tribulation and attain True Immortality.”

“The Tao of cause and effect is mysterious and profound, so that’s why I said I owe thanks to you, Han.”

Han Yi understood, nodding. Though Li Zhengyang’s epiphany in that Mysterious Divine Land was not directly related, it did indeed have something to do with him.

Suddenly he remembered the Yuandao Struggle mentioned by the Jade Spring Golden Immortal earlier and was about to ask, but he hesitated and then stopped, thinking better of it.

He did not yet understand the details of the matter, so it was best to refrain from discussing it for now. Moreover, once he returned to the Original Art Dojo, he could easily find out with a single query.
