Chapter 181 of "Journey to the End of the Night" opens presenting: 181: Chapter 179: Immortal Tears 181: Chapter 179: Immortal Tears Fang Geyu lazily yawned, her... Don’t stop now!

181: Chapter 179: Immortal Tears 181: Chapter 179: Immortal Tears Fang Geyu lazily yawned, her freshly brushed teeth gave her a cute appearance, but her posture was indolent… A pair of exquisite little white boots lay carelessly at her feet, with no socks worn, revealing her slim and pale ankles at will. The expensive nightgown she wore had long been wrinkled from sleep, her hair was yet to be combed, messy and fluffy, which made her small face appear even more delicate and charming. She resembled less the daughter of an Immortal and more a slovenly yet beautiful doll. It was clear at a glance that she was a young lady with poor life skills, actually a good-for-nothing when it came to dressing herself properly. “Hey, you’re quite rude, what’s with that look?” Fang Geyu said, displeased. “Ah, no, I’m just surprised to hear for the first time that you’re an Immortal Descendant.” “Your expression looks less like surprise and more like doubt.” Fang Geyu let out a cold, mocking laugh, “Forget it, I can’t be bothered to argue with you. How could a mere corpse demon understand Miss’s beauty and power? No matter what, money can make the devil push the millstone. This Jade Token was sent by my family using a spiritual pigeon. It seems they want me to participate in the heir’s trial.” Baili An said, “So you want me to accompany you.” Fang Geyu scoffed, “You really are an arrogant and conceited guy. Do you really have no idea? Although it’s an Immortal City assessment, it ultimately involves interests. This major trial will certainly not be a minor skirmish; it will likely be tinged with bloodshed. Whether it’s the righteous ways of the Mortal World or the heretical paths of the Demon Sect, both believe in the principle that the strong prevail and the weak fail. The content of the assessment is simple: one must fight one’s way out of both literary and martial trials. But considering the candidates participating in the examination are all carrying Immortal Blood, which one isn’t an esteemed presence? If someone dies in this merciless and cruel trial, it would undoubtedly mean a great loss to the righteous forces of the Mortal World. Therefore, another rule was established: candidates could bring five Guest Elder Cultivators to accompany them into the city for the trial. Being able to cultivate connections with capable and outstanding individuals is also a way to prove one’s strength. In the end, whether it’s the candidates or the Guest Elder Cultivators under their command, anyone who captures the first-place position can ascend to the role of City Lord.” Baili An shook his head, “I can’t understand. There are countless powerful cultivators in the world, akin to carps crossing the river or clouds in the sky. Just the likes of the Taixuan Nine Classics, Tianxi Thirteen Swords, Cangwu Ten Hidden Palaces, those legendary figures who live in the Tribulation Realm tales, a mere glance from them could kill us. Such a trial seems meaningless to you at this moment.” Fang Geyu looked at him as if looking at a fool: “Seeing that the trial is held by the Empress herself, naturally there won’t be such imbalanced forces involved. If that were the case, as you say, what would be the point of selection? They could just invite those three age-old Immortals renowned throughout the land to sit and protect the city. Why go through such trouble? But those Tribulation Realm powerhouses you speak of, each has their own beliefs and sacred lands to protect. How could they willingly become lords of another city?” Baili An asked, “This Empress you mentioned… who is she?” A single lock of her hair transformed into a city, capable of making countless Cultivators in the Mortal World fall into frenzied longing. Baili An could hardly imagine how sacred and powerful such a person could be. Fang Geyu’s mouth had grown dry from talking, and seeing him continue to ask questions, her gaze gradually became impatient. She found a wicker chair to sit down, bending over to tie her boot laces, “You don’t know this and you don’t know that! You really wasted your time reading books in the Mountain Realm! To trace back to the Empress’ origin takes three days and three nights to tell. Once you enter the city, you will have the chance to know in due time.” The Mountain Realm housed hundreds of thousands of books, and Baili An’s visit was merely for a few short months. Even with his extraordinary memory, it would be impossible for him to thoroughly read all the books in such a short time. Besides, he had not yet come across any books recording the Empress. Baili An thought for a moment, then patiently began to analyze. “If Miss Fang truly needs my help to seize the position of City Lord heir, Si Chen is certainly willing to serve. But since a candidate can only choose five Guest Elder Cultivators, and the slots are so precious, is it really okay for me to occupy one?” Fang Geyu gave him a look that said you’re not as dumb as you seem. “As you said, not only are candidates subject to strict criteria, Guest Elder Cultivators also require very high qualifications. With your level of cultivation, you would never be eligible to become a Guest Elder Cultivator of Shifang City in your lifetime. But you should know, among the top twenty rewards of this trial is a drop of Immortal Tears.” “Immortal Tears.” “Yes, and it’s said to be the tears of a Golden Immortal whose power is not weaker than any of the leaders of the Three Sects.” Fang Geyu might look shrewd, but her hands were quite clumsy; she had been trying to tie her boot lace for quite some time without success. Finally, she simply knotted an ugly lump and raised her head to ask Baili An, “Do you know what Immortal Tears are used for?” Baili An suddenly became tense, his throat dry as he asked, “What use?” “Immortal Tears are a tear of spiritual energy, crystallized on the eve of an Immortal’s transcendence, harboring all the obsessions of the Immortal’s lifetime. An Immortal’s obsessions transformed into tears can enter a person’s dreams and enlighten a Spiritual Embryo.” Fang Geyu’s eyes sparkled, her lips curving into a smile, “That’s why I say you’re lucky. If you can harness the power of the Immortal Tears to enlighten your Spiritual Embryo, it means you could recover all your previous life’s memories.” Lin Yuan could feel the muscles under Baili An’s skin slowly tensing. He looked up, his lips pressed into a straight line, giving away no hint of his emotions. After a moment, his lips slowly parted, and he whispered, “Immortal Tears… can they truly help me regain my former memories?” Fang Geyu rubbed her slightly swollen eyes from sleep, “To break the Spiritual Embryo, to gaze upon the spirit platform— the spirit platform contains the Sea of Consciousness of people. Even memories that are overlooked and forgotten in some corner, they don’t completely disappear; they are all recorded on the spirit platform. Immortal Tears, carrying the Immortal’s deep longing, possess an extraordinary and magical power, indeed one that can enlighten the Spiritual Embryo. However, how to use this power is up to you; if the Immortal Tears do not recognize you, swallowing them won’t help at all.” She stood up, looking down at the laces on her white boots tied into an ugly clump, and frowned in dissatisfaction. “Participating in the heir’s trial is life-threatening for Guest Elder Cultivators, and a bloody battle is inevitable. Whether or not to go is your decision to make.” Baili An didn’t hesitate for a second: “I’ll go.” Fang Geyu looked at him with disdain, “You should know that the Guest Elder Cultivators invited by other forces are mostly in the Full Cycle of the Open Yuan Realm. Even the unparalleled geniuses of the Sea Expansion Realm command the four corners, and only those in the top twenty have a chance at obtaining the Immortal Tears.” Baili An said, “Going might not guarantee success, but not going will certainly guarantee failure.” “I knew you would say that,” Fang Geyu tossed him two blue-covered books, handing them over to Baili An.
