Chapter 310: Grandpa Always Warned Me…
If other factions met a Dao Comprehending realm freak with Earth Immortal’s power, they would kill you on sight. But that doesn’t apply to our Headless Assembly, or more like nothing applies to it like other powers out there.
Chen Ming’s heart suffered a huge shock, She’s from the assembly. Where’s the free rain here? They clearly poke at every hole they find!
As for why I’m here, it’s because of the road to immortality. I already explained what lies beyond Earth Immortal, but what stood above a group of immortal then, Immortal King?
She paused for effect,
Not at all. It’s a reincarnated immortal!
Again with reincarnated immortals! Ling’s clan ancestor referred to me as one, while Yuan Ji said the Headless Assembly is packed full of them!
The woman held her teacup for a refill, took a sip and resumed,
A reincarnated immortal stands above an Immortal King. It is an existence that transcends the Galaxy. But one doesn’t become a reincarnated immortal simply by wanting. When a so-called Immortal King reached his peak, he has two flaws. One, his Dao Heart isn’t pure enough, preventing him from reaching the pinnacle in his Dao. Two, his life draws at an end. As they want to grow stronger, they have two choices, to enter the cycle of reincarnation, or become martyrs, achieving eternal life through the Tree of Martyrs. If they took the first choice, they seal their memories and re-tread the road of cultivation. Take a sword cultivator Immortal King for instance. He is reborn on a continent whose highest realm is but the Immortal realm. Won’t he, the moment he picked a sword, feel like he’s talent is matchless, that he is Sword Dao’s favorite?
Chen Ming said,
That goes without saying.
Who are you kidding? An Immortal King reborn as a sword cultivator might have lost his memories, but his instinct never waned!
She nodded,
Correct. It’s because of this belief they think of themselves as Sword Dao’s favorite, reaching its pinnacle! Only with passion and sword can one grasp a blade and ask the former ruler if they are a paragon! Since they were reborn and their instincts linger, walking the path of cultivation once again will further increase their speed far above the masses. And when they reach the Immortal King realm, they have their whole lives ahead of them. This offers a greater chance of leaving behind the Immortal King realm and go even further.
Something was nagging Chen Ming as he pointed,
That is fine and all, but these reincarnators who restarted their lives as mortals, they had to seal their memories. Isn’t there a chance for them to abhor cultivation? Won’t they just live a mundane life, then get fed to a Tree of Martyrs?
She nodded gravely,
You are correct. A small part of reincarnated immortals do not enter the world of cultivation and are fed to a Tree of Martyrs.
Chen Ming coughed twice.
She ignored it,
But you must understand, there aren’t many who can reach the Immortal King realm in the first place. Even if the Tree of Martyrs can preserve martyrs, the number is limited. Generally speaking, their spots were long decided. The chance of becoming a martyr is small. Um, more like too small. A thousand years old paragon might have a chance.
Chen Ming said,
That means hardly anyone becomes a martyr and taking the reincarnation path is too dangerous. His genius was at his peak, sure, but it isn’t enough to protect a frail moth!
The woman cast him a gratified look,
This is where the Headless Assembly comes in! An immortal supremacy, it’s sight stretches to every nook and cranny, picking at those standing above the masses, freaks like you.
It offers you a chance at great power, allowing you, reincarnators, to go further than ever before!
I cannot convince you of being a reincarnated immortal since no one admits being one, especially a genuine reincarnated immortal. Because of this, it holds no meaning, so I won’t try to tell you of being one.
Chen Ming said,
Isn’t that the same as telling me I am one?
In short, will you join the Headless Assembly? All members have dominion in the Galaxy or a Star River at least!
Such dominion comes with the right to harvest souls, of course, but not the right to order others. I’m sure you know that you are weak, so you better hide your identity. After all, any who wears this mask is a Headless Assembly member.
The Headless Assembly already controls the world through its market.
And we are called devils, soul dealing devils.
She held her hand, letting a mask attached to a robe fall on the table.
It was half black and half white.
The left smiled, while the right cried.
Chen Ming said,
The Headless Assembly is not even friendly to its members. They way you put it, if any finds out my identity, by killing me they can get the mask?
She bobbed her head,
Yes, this is a gamble. Win and you can advance. I’m sure you know, cultivating isn’t solely for wresting against heaven for longer life. Those that do not fight either die under the slow decay of time, or die at the hands of others.
Of all the Headless Assembly members, two out of tree aren’t invited by me.
Her words brought some light to the mater. The Headless Assembly invited geniuses in their midst, closely resembling reincarnated immortals. But these members weren’t spared of death, as others could bring their end and take their place.
Then isn’t this extremely dangerous?
The woman nodded, though she didn’t comment.
Chen Ming said in all seriousness,
My grandpa always warned me not to go into danger, not do anything dangerous. Life is most precious. When you’re alive anything is possible.
The woman reached for the mask to retrieve it, but Chen Ming held it still,
Such a pity, I never once listen to him!
She took back her hand and eyed him,
You’re one amusing little man. I will eagerly await seeing you sitting high in the highest assembly.
Chen Ming said,
Highest assembly, the hell is that?
You now have the mask, the most basic mask, making you the lowest member. To grasp more authority, you’ll have to wait for your boss to drop dead, or kill him yourself!
Just who came up with this dangerous rule? Isn’t it the same as saying each member is in danger at all times?
The world is filled with life and only through death can one take souls. All beings have a fear of death since birth. When death follows one’s each step, when one is always on the run, only then will he gain true strength!
