I Must Become Eternal

Chapter 5: Qi Condensation of the 4th layer

After Xian Ji brought up the fire snake, he then put it out again and went to sleep. Until morning arrives.

Time passed by, Xian Ji was cultivating under a black-leaved tree. The tree was very tall and almost reached the sky, it was said to be a cultivation tree that had lived for thousands of years, and it was said that the tree was cared for by the patriarch Hao. The tree is now rarely visited, the disciples of the shipyard in saying that the tree is no longer useful, can be said that the tree was exiled by the sect itself. Even the elders from the sect rarely visited, except for the inner delivery disciple, Xu Xin.

The reason why Xian Ji was cultivating under that tree was because she felt comfortable, she felt free, and felt at ease.

'Cultivating under this tree, it was really comfortable, the air that was here was also cool and not dusty. Why is this tree isolated...? Those disciples and elders must be stupid' Xian Ji thought with a faint smile.

Time passed, Xian Ji finally finished cultivating under that tree.

"Filipino... I have finished cultivating under this tree, and I got a little progress while cultivating under this tree" he murmured.

"Since I have finished cultivating, I must make this tree fresh again. Who knew this tree could be the same tree that was told in the legend" he murmured while holding the tree. Xian Ji went to look for Zhang.

Xian Ji did not want to shout loudly to call out to him, it was because he wanted to walk around leisurely and feel a cool breeze.

Time passed, finally Xian Ji reached the place where Zhang and the others were gathered.

Taps... Taps... Taps...

"Who's there!? Show yourself!" shouted Zhang.

"It's me" Xian Ji said in a low tone.

"Chairman...?" he was surprised, he then looked back and nodded his head.

"Greetings, chief!!" respect Zhang to Xian Ji while sitting down.

"Stand up" Xian Ji said as he waved his hand upwards.

"Good!" zhang and the others shouted, they then stood up.

"There is something I want to ask you, why is it that such a big, tall tree that no one visits it?" ask Xian Ji.

"Yes... That's because..." Zhang hesitated to answer.

"Why are you hesitating? Say it" Xian Ji said.

"Yes." he then told me about the tree.

***

Time passed, Zhang finally finished telling it.

Based on what he said, the tree was called a curse tree. Because there was once a disciple who was cultivating in that tree and suddenly his dantian broke. That was what made the tree called a curse tree, the tree was said to only bring curses to the disciples who were cultivating under the tree.

Xian Ji who heard him was quite astonished, because at the time he was cultivating he was at ease, and did not feel the terrible air behind the tree. Xian Ji then thanked them and left from there. He then decided to make sure that what he heard was wrong.

He did not ask the other delivery disciples, who were busy cultivating. Or the often oppressive inner disciple, he asked the tree himself.

Time passed, finally Xian Ji reached the place where the tree was. He touched the tree and asked.

"You... Why were you exiled?" xian Ji said as he touched the tree.

Xian Ji then waited for his answer, but the tree did not answer him, Xian Ji then sighed and left. He went to pick up his cultivation technique book, he then sat leaning under the tree. While reading his cultivation technique book, he continuously muttered, "Why doesn't this tree answer me? Is he ashamed? Could he be stupid and have no consciousness?". Xian Ji who was feeling bored then sat down and cultivated under the tree.

Time passed, the day began to night, and Xian Ji finally finished cultivating. He then stood up, he then turned around and touched the tree, he then sighed and went to his place. He then went to sleep.

Next morning...

Xian Ji woke up from her sleep, after which she read her cultivation book and cultivated in her room, this time she aimed to break through.

He went to the curse tree, and sat leaning under it. The outer delivery disciples who saw him were then surprised to see that Xian Ji was sitting leaning under the tree. Xian Ji who saw him then told one of the disciples to go to the tree, then sat down with him. The disciple was shaking, Xian Ji then sighed and he said, "If you are afraid, then go, I will sleep under this tree" with a faint smile.

The disciple felt that if he went to the tree, he would die. Yet he still dared to go to that tree with his trembling legs. Xian Ji who saw it then smiled.

'Oh... He is a fearless, yet courageous man... If he could come here... I will let him go, hehe~' Xian Ji thought.

But what the student had in mind was different.

'I-I'm afraid, what if I come closer and I die? No. gabe... If I hadn't been there, the other students would have underestimated me and walked away from me!' he thought while feeling anxious. He then swallowed his saliva and closed his eyes, then walked over and subconsciously reached the tree.

Taps!

. . .

'He... It worked!' I think all the students saw it.

"Open your eyes" Xian Ji said.

"A-Am I dead...?" he said while trembling.

"You're not dead, open your eyes!" xian Ji said in a high tone.

"No way!!" his yell.

"If you don't open your eyes, I'll kill you!" xian Ji Ancam.

"Good, okay!" then he opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was blown away by Xian Ji's face.

'Look at him up close like this. He is very handsome, even I am usually indifferent to others... Can admit his good looks!' thought while blushing.

"Huh...? Why are you staring at me!? Are you out of your mind?" xian Ji said while surprised.

"A-Ah.. N-no, I-I'm just fascinated with your face.." her face flushed red.

Xian Ji who heard what he said surprised him.

'uh? Enchanted..? With my face...? It's true that I'm handsome, but... He heard her say that she was fascinated by my face... Am I that how he looks?' he thought while grinding his teeth.

"Thank you for the compliment, then... Go away" Xian Ji said as he stared

The disciple was surprised to hear Xian Ji say that, he held back his cries and left disappointed. Xian Ji who saw him leave with the other disciples then sighed.

"Well... She was really embarrassed when she looked at me closely, and the moment I told her to leave, she held back her cries and disappointment and left" Xian Ji muttered.

After that incident, Xian Ji then tried to cultivate. Not long after he tried to cultivate, he felt that there was a different spiritual energy coming into his body. He who sensed it was then startled, he guessed that the one who did that was none other than the Tree of Curse.

"You... Why are you helping me..?" Xian Ji asked as she gritted her teeth. There was no answer from the tree.

'No answer, yes..? But with him sending his energy to me, it will help me to break through!'

Swooshes!!

Xian Ji then broke through to the fourth Qi Condensation layer.

Note:Levels are converted into Layers.
