Xiao Chen found it extremely unbelievable. He circled around the black Black Tortoise Stone several times, but the stone stood there quietly without moving at all.

However, at that moment, he had never felt such a wonderful feeling before. It was as if he was this stone in that instant. He had stood here for tens of thousands of years and had seen all the prosperity and loneliness in the world. What exactly was that feeling?

When he carefully placed his hand on the stone again, he could no longer feel the mysterious realm. In just a short moment, that feeling disappeared.

“Is this stone … strange?”

Xiao Chen’s expression became slightly solemn. He placed his hand on the stone and a divine sense immediately penetrated. However, no matter how he looked at it with his divine sense, this was an ordinary stone. Because the material was hard, it would not collapse for many years.

He had even used his divine sense to investigate the bottom of the mountain. It was just an ordinary mountain on the edge of the East China Sea, and there was nothing there.

“Strange … how could this be?”

He could not understand how such a mysterious feeling could be produced by touching an ordinary stone. He had never encountered such a mysterious feeling before when he was cultivating in the past. However, why did it produce such a mysterious feeling when touching an ordinary stone?

“No … no!”

At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. This stone was just an ordinary stone, but at that moment, he had seen the vast world, causing his state of mind to change.

Facing the heavens and the earth, this stone had not moved for thousands of years, and he had just stood beside it and deeply experienced it. For thousands of years, no matter how prosperous or desolate the world was, it had never changed or moved here.

Why would he have such a state of mind? Could it be that this was what Ku Lingzi had said before … to comprehend the Heavenly Dao?

Something’s wrong …

What was the Heavenly Dao?

Wasn’t it supposed to be the glorious circulation of all things? Why did he insist on begging for such a long life? If it was like this stone, no matter how much time passed, it would never be extinguished, yet it could see all the prosperity and loneliness in this world, how could it be confined to life and death?

At this moment, he seemed to have comprehended a higher level of Concept. It wasn’t that he comprehended the Heavenly Dao, nor was it that he pursued longevity. Instead, it was a higher level of Concept … the Undying Immortal Realm!

“Immortal …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt like a sharp bolt of lightning flashing through his heart. He no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of this flash of enlightenment, he immediately sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, allowing him to enter an undisturbed Void Brightness Realm and experience the Undying Concept!

One day had passed. Two days had passed. On the third day, he finally opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were clear. In just three days, it was as if he had been reborn. Even the movement of slowly cultivating and breathing carried a feeling of transcendence.

“I see …”

Xiao Chen smiled gently. He stood up and looked at the calmed sea in the distance. In the past three days, his perception of the outside world had become much clearer. In the past, his spiritual sense could only reach up to ten kilometers. Now, if there was no obstruction, he could at least reach out a hundred kilometers.

In this lifetime, he would not be able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao Concept as Ku Lingzi had said.

Regardless of whether it was the Profound Comprehension Realm, the Lower Profound Realm, the Middle Profound Realm, or the Upper Profound Realm, these four realms were not only Dao Cultivation Realm, but also Concept Realm.

But now, he had already comprehended his own Concept, that is, the Undying Concept. However, right now, he was only at the initial stage of comprehension. He still needed to be the same as other cultivators, such as those at the Profound Comprehension Realm to comprehend the Lower Profound Realm, and those at the Lower Profound Realm to comprehend the Middle Profound Realm …

As for him, he needed to constantly comprehend the Undying Concept that he had just comprehended. Layers after layers of unceasing comprehension, and in the end … perhaps he would really reach the Undying Concept.

In this world, countless people were trying their best to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the Concept of Heavenly Dao. However, today, he had actually comprehended a higher level of Concept because of a stone by the sea. It must be Fortune.

At this moment, Xiao Chen looked at the Black Tortoise Stone beside him and gently touched it, “I didn’t expect that I comprehended the Undying Concept because of you today … If I really reach that realm in the future, I will definitely come back to see you again.”

After saying that, he slowly withdrew his hand and said, “You and I are destined. Why don’t I name you ‘Jieshi’? From now on, you have one more friend, and I have one more friend.”

After he finished speaking, he saw that he was about to carve the word “Jieshi” on the stone with his two fingers, but he suddenly stopped. He thought to himself, “This stone has stood in the East China Sea for thousands of years and never changed. Why should I change it today because of him?”

Thinking of this, he let out a relieved smile and put his hand back.

A gentle breeze blew over. He looked at the distant horizon … Wei Yang, wait for me to return.

After descending the mountain, he arrived at a small seaside town near the East China Sea. Most of the residents lived by fishing. The land on the East China Sea was actually a small country. However, compared to the prosperity of Xianyuan Five Realms, this place lagged far behind. However, it was better than the simple customs of the people, and there was less deception in the world.

Along the way, there weren’t many people in the town, but it wasn’t deserted. Most of them were busy with their own livelihoods.

It was as if he had comprehended a brand-new concept. At this moment, he had gained a bit more understanding of the lives of these mortals. Wasn’t it the same in Ning Village back then? However, because he had embarked on the Immortal Path, everything was gone …

Thinking of Ning Village and Wu Niang, Xiao Chen felt a bit more sad. Ever since the incident in Ning Village, he had dreamed that Ah Niang would sew and cook for him. Every autumn, it would be winter to weave clothes. Why didn’t Chen’er come back? This dress should be a bit smaller now …

“Ah Niang …”

His eyes were gradually blown red by the wind. Perhaps he saw the simple folk customs in this small town, similar to those in Ning Village, or perhaps he saw the children circling around his mother, but the sorrow in his heart slowly spread.

After calming down, he stopped thinking about Ning Village and Ah Niang and continued onward. If he wanted to go out to sea, he naturally needed a large ship. The shipyard was located in the southeast of the town.

A moment later, he arrived at the dock of the shipyard. The owner of the ship was an honest man. He was leading his men to work. When he saw someone coming, he immediately went forward to welcome him. “Is this little brother going to the nearby town by boat?”

Xiao Chen glanced at the dock and pointed at the sturdiest ship. “How much do I want for that ship?”

When the owner of the boat heard that he wanted to buy a boat, he was shocked to see that he was a stranger. “Little brother, are you going to go out to sea? This is absolutely impossible. None of the people who went out to sea have returned. Did you see the big waves of the past few days? That fish demon is making waves …”

Xiao Chen glanced at him and said, “You’re such a boatman. You know how to talk nonsense. With Divine Monarch Meng Zhang protecting the East China Sea, how could there be any fish demons?”

“This …”

The owner of the ship was stunned by his words. Xiao Chen looked at the sea again. Now that his spiritual sense was much sharper, he could sense a strange force at sea. However, it was not a fish demon. It was faintly like a mysterious force from the east …
