I Became A Cannon Fodder In A Female Protagonist Cultivation Novel

335 Freedom and Domination

Fang Jinyu and the Outer-Emperor Immortal got along very well. The two of them were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. They chatted casually, but most of the time, one of them was explaining to the other.

The latter was, naturally, Fang Jinyu.

The Outer Emperor Immortal had revealed many secrets of the immortal realm to Fang Jinyu. There was a cultivator who could connately use the perfect incarnation technique in ancient times, the first awakening of the devil’s path in ancient times, and an immortal king in ancient times who suppressed the devil’s path but had yet to return…

“In recent ancient times, if I have to say it, it must be that a group of old things from ancient times are finally returning. However, reincarnation doesn’t allow it, and the immortal king can’t step out of the space-time closed loop unless there is something big happening in the immortal realm. As a result, those old things are blocked outside the door, and their resentment is getting more and more terrifying daily.”

“The current unrest in the Sea of Realms is mostly caused by these old things through the door. Although they were blocked outside the door and couldn’t attack directly, they still could manipulate the timeline.”

The Outer-Emperor Immortal rambled on and on like an old man.

It was because the information was very messy and couldn’t be pieced together.

“Speaking of which, there’s one more thing you have to be careful of.”

“Senior Outer-Emperor Immortal, what is it?”

Fang Jinyu asked respectfully.

After chatting for so long, Fang Jinyu could see that the Outer-Emperor Immortal wasn’t here to cause trouble for him. Although the other party had some scruples about the position of the Immortal Lord of Justice, he didn’t have many scruples.

The purpose of the Outer-Emperor Immortal looking for Fang Jinyu should be to tell him these things.

As for why?

Fang Jinyu felt that the Outer-Emperor Immortal was probably going to reveal his true intentions.

“Have you heard of the fallen immortals?”

Fang Jinyu thought for a moment and replied, “I know a little, but I can also consider myself to know nothing.”

According to the description of Fang Jinyu’s senior brother, Grandmaster Meng, the existence of the fallen immortals was absurd and wrong. Whatever you knew was what the fallen immortals wanted you to know.

It was hard to grasp the truth, the false, the illusory, and the virtual.

“It seems that you know a lot about the fallen immortals. That’s good. I’ll be relieved. Remember, if you meet the person who is involved with the fallen immortals in the future, hide if you can. If you can’t… Then try your best to kill the other party!”

“I got it!”

Fang Jinyu stood up and thanked him. At the same time, his heart skipped a beat.

Fang Jinyu thought of the “protagonists” who had appeared in the extraordinary book. Except for the time when he was disturbed, the “protagonists” who appeared in the extraordinary book at other times were all deeply involved with the fallen immortals without exception.

Fang Jinyu still didn’t understand the last few words of the Outer-Emperor Immortal, but he decided to follow them.

It was because “Cang” was an example!

If he hadn’t met someone involved with the fallen immortals, how could he have suffered a crushing defeat?

Thinking of the unlucky fellow who had the potential to become a King, Fang Jinyu thought about it and decided to ask, “Senior Outer-Emperor Immortal, may I know the origins of the origin realm?”

The origin realm was rather peculiar.

According to “Cang’s” description, it seemed to contain peerless power and was closely related to many immortal Almighties. However, there wasn’t even an Immortal Ascension stage cultivator in the entire origin realm.

“You mean the origin realm? This world… It isn’t simple! It’s because even if Immortal Ascension stage cultivators attacked with all their might, they wouldn’t be able to damage this world at all. If a Core Formation stage sword cultivator who could break a mountain with a single sword went to the origin realm, he would at most pierce through an ordinary mountain rock in the origin realm. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, even if one had transcended the lightning tribulation, they could only gather and disperse freely. They can’t switch between reality and illusion.”

The Outer-Emperor Immortal spoke slowly.

“However, it isn’t why the origin realm isn’t simple! The most terrifying thing about the origin realm was that half of the Immortal Ascension stage cultivators in the Sea of Realms came from it. Although there were no Immortal Ascension stage cultivators in this world, the Immortal Ascension stage cultivators who came from this world… It can be said that there are countless of them.”

Hearing this, Fang Jinyu couldn’t hide his shock.

Fang Jinyu had seen the unusual aspects of the origin realm before, but he didn’t expect it to be so extraordinary.

Half of the Immortal Ascension stage cultivators in the world came from the origin realm!

No wonder “Cang’s” good friend Nan Li had such incredible alchemy skills. She had even begun to condense her cultivation core when she had just broken through the Incarnation stage.

In the end, it was because it was a “hardworking expert’s realm”!

To be able to help a person suppress a “female protagonist” and kill their way out of such a world, Fang Jinyu could already imagine how strange and unpredictable the fallen immortals were!

“Alright, take that little girl and leave!” The Outer-Emperor Immortal had no intention of playing chess with Fang Jinyu. He just picked up the teacup at the side.

It meant that he wanted to send the guest off.

Fang Jinyu understood and said, “Thank you, Senior Outer-Emperor Immortal, for your guidance. I’m very grateful. I’ve troubled you for a long time, so I’ll take my leave first!”

With that, Fang Jinyu turned around and left.

As Fang Jinyu walked down the stairs, the voice of the Outer-Emperor Immortal sounded again, “Tell that little girl to find a cultivation lotus. It doesn’t matter if it’s of a lower grade, but she must plant it back for me. Otherwise, even her ancient identity can’t protect her!”

Fang Jinyu stopped in his tracks. He had learned another secret.

“Could Qing Fu be one of the 36 celestial lords of the ancient immortal realm?” Fang Jinyu was deep in thought because the secret of the ancient era mentioned by the Outer-Emperor Immortal said that the 36 celestial lords were all cultivators who could innately use the perfect incarnation technique.

Afterward, Fang Jinyu nodded in response.

When Fang Jinyu walked down the stairs, it disappeared in an instant.

Fang Jinyu subconsciously looked up, but he could no longer see what he had seen before. The only thing that could be seen was the “unique landscape” of the Land of Distorted Truth—the mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests hanging in the sky.

…

At this moment, in the pavilion, someone had placed its pieces on the chess board.

This time, it was the Outer-Emperor Immortal holding the white chess piece.

A black-robed girl with a cold aura was sitting opposite the Outer-Emperor Immortal. She held a black chess piece in her hand and was playing chess with the Outer-Emperor Immortal. With every piece she placed, her ultimate cultivation path would fluctuate slightly.

It was the cultivation chess piece.

It was playing chess, but it was also honing the path she cultivated!

The black-robed girl, who had won many white chess pieces from the Outer-Emperor Immortal, suddenly stopped her attack and said, “Foster father, there’s something I don’t understand.”

“What is it?” The Outer-Emperor Immortal scratched his head. He was troubled by the chess game in front of him.

Although he had previously won against the little girl, in reality, it was because the little girl was more stingy than him.

“Foster father, the person whom you met earlier, his cultivation ability is very strange. It seems to have no power. I feel that I can kill him with a casual move. However, he completely ignored the restriction on the stairs…” The black-robed girl frowned slightly. She really couldn’t understand it.

“Hehe, little girl, if you attack him, you’ll find that the Immortal Lord of Justice is more difficult to deal with than you can imagine, and there’s a high chance that you’ll lose.” The Outer-Emperor Immortal laughed.

“Please enlighten me, foster father!” The black-robed girl said it with a double meaning. However, although she spoke politely, she didn’t care about the Outer-Emperor Immortal’s feelings. After a few pieces fell, she won many white chess pieces.

The Outer-Emperor Immortal frowned because he didn’t know how to place the chess piece. He waved his hand and removed the chessboard. He then said, “Girl, cultivated the path of the predecessors but his… He created his cultivation path. From his cultivation runes, his cultivation path should be the path of freedom!”

The black-robed girl couldn’t help but ask curiously, “The path of freedom? Foster father, what’s the difference between his and the path of carefreeness?”

The Outer-Emperor Immortal asked, “Let me ask you, what is carefree?”

The black-robed girl answered without hesitation, “Carefree and peaceful, without fighting.”

She had once sparred with a cultivator who cultivated the path of carefreeness, so she had a very deep impression of it. As long as there was a trace of the other party’s cultivation runes, her attacks would always be one step slower than the other party’s!

The Outer-Emperor Immortal asked again, “Then what is freedom?”

The black-robed girl didn’t answer immediately. Although freedom and carefree had similar intentions, it was obvious that things weren’t as simple as they seemed to be for her foster father to ask.

“Foster father, freedom means… Unfettered?” The black-robed girl pondered for a moment before raising her head to look at her foster father.

The Outer-Emperor Immortal nodded, and the smile on his face grew wider. He said, “The path of carefreeness focuses on inaction and standing aloof from the world. The path of freedom seemed to be similar to the path of carefreeness, but in reality, the two were poles apart.”

“Unfettered. If you change your way of thinking, you’ll be the only one in the world. Only at this stage could one truly be unrestrained. Although I don’t know how he cultivated it, since he has cultivated it, the laws of the human world will naturally make it difficult to trap him. It’s because when facing his path of freedom, nothing in the world could restrain him! Only the heavens can do it!”

The black-robed girl was deep in thought, then she said, “Thank you for your guidance, foster father. However, can you not act shamelessly every time you lose in chess?”

The black-robed girl’s tone was faint, and her face was filled with helplessness.

It was because when her foster father taught her how to play chess, she was only five years old. At that time, she had yet to start cultivating. Now, she was already ranked 8 in the Incarnation stage and was about to break through to rank 9. She was almost qualified to achieve her cultivation validation. However, she had yet to truly finish a game of chess…

Her foster father lived up to his reputation as the “chess and weapon duo” who was equally known as the one in the immortal realm!

The Outer-Emperor Immortal said righteously, “Who’s acting shamelessly? Didn’t you see that my chessboard was smashed by that little girl? Fortunately, her cultivation tribulations had caused her combat strength to plummet. Otherwise, she would have torn down my pavilion.”

“Foster father, what is her identity?” The black-robed girl couldn’t help but ask when she heard her foster father mention the little girl.

“A shameless girl who forgot her true identity because of the devil’s path… Cough! Girl, don’t tell the others about it! If she retrieved her memories, I, an old man, would have to accompany those ‘old things’ who are blocked outside the door…” As the Outer-Emperor Immortal spoke, he suddenly felt a little guilty and quickly changed his words.

The wind outside the door was too strong. He didn’t want to go over.
