Chapter 204: Chapter 60 Supreme Divine Skill, A Thread of Immortal Fate_2Xiao Jie carefully made his way up the mountain path, where he found two people engaged in a chess match beneath a pavilion. To the left sat a man in a white robe exuding an elegant and otherworldly aura characteristic of an Immortal, handsomely featured—Tianxuan True Man (Hidden Immortal), Level 72. Life Value: ???? On the right sat another figure, drenched in a black robe with patterns of stars and constellations in dark gold, his face imposing—Kaiyang Star Lord (Hidden Immortal), Level 69. Life Value: ???? The two seemed entirely absorbed by their chess game, completely oblivious to Xiao Jie’s approach. Xiao Jie didn’t dare to interrupt and stood by quietly observing. The chess board was a complex grid of strategies, clearly in the middle game. Xiao Jie, merely a beginner at chess, couldn’t make out which player held the advantage. On a small table nearby, there indeed was a tray containing a few leftover fruits, half a jar of wine, and two white jade cups. Without saying a word, Xiao Jie took out the food he had prepared and placed it on the tray: several kinds of fruits and two bottles of Monkey Wine. The black-robed Immortal seemed to be in a tough spot. He casually reached out, and a fruit flew into his hand, which he then ate without even looking up. The white-robed Immortal saw this and slightly smiled, stretching out his hand, a bottle of Monkey Wine landed in his grasp, and he started drinking. The two shifted moves and snacks alternately. It wasn’t long before the fruit and Monkey Wine were nearly gone. However, the chess game was still not finished. Xiao Jie thought, what should I do now? Simply keep going, I suppose. There isn’t much fruit left, but there’s still plenty of food in my bag, and even several more bottles of Monkey Wine. Xiao Jie placed the wine on the table, thought for a second, and set down the Roasted Meat, Roasted Chicken, Garden Roasted Cake, and glutinous rice cake one by one. These two Immortals were indeed foodies, seemingly having no concept of being full, grabbed whatever was at hand, and in the blink of an eye, nearly everything on the small table was gone. Luckily, Xiao Jie had more than enough supplies. When the Monkey Wine ran out, he still had two bottles of Du Kang Wine. After the Roasted Meat was all eaten, he put on steamed buns, and eventually, he simply put all the Secret Dog Food there too. When the food in his bag was nearly finished, the chess game finally moved toward the end. "Hahaha, Star Lord, thank you for letting me win." "Hmph, let what? I haven’t beaten you in hundreds of years. What’s there to let? You won’t even let me win one game. If this continues, one day I won’t bother staying here anymore, then what will you do?" "Hahaha, why should Star Lord be angry? This place has beautiful scenery and is perfect for seclusion. If you leave here, where else can you go? Perhaps join those despairing folks in Guyun Continent?" "That might not be out of question... Eh, who are you?" It was then that the two Immortals finally noticed Xiao Jie, who had been observing from the sidelines, and they both turned towards him with surprise. In panic, Xiao Jie made his move—he knelt down. He prostrated himself fully on the ground. "Oh, esteemed Immortals, my name is Hidden Moon Following Wind. I’ve come here desperately seeking your assistance in a matter of great importance. Please forgive me if I have been presumptuous." At this point, he didn’t bother hiding his intentions. After all, Immortals aren’t fools, and anyone openly bringing food and drink must be seeking something. He decided to directly plead for help. The two Immortals appeared resigned. The black-robed Immortal angrily said, "You really have no sense, barging in here like this, expecting us to do something for you? What sort of reasoning is that—by the way, how did you make that meatball earlier? Bring a couple more for me to taste." The white-robed Immortal laughed, "Well, since we have partaken of your food and drink, we’ve accepted your karma. Tell us about your issue, and if we can, we will assist, but let me be clear, we’re resolved not to meddle in worldly affairs and won’t personally intervene. We can only offer you some guidance." As soon as the robed Immortal had spoken, a dialogue box popped up in front of Xiao Jie. Option 1: Thank you, Immortal. I indeed have a question to ask. Option 2: Thank you, Immortal. Actually, there is a White Ape that asked me to inquire about a question (task). Xiao Jie blinked in surprise. Huh? I can ask my own questions too! Indeed, given the high degree of freedom in this game, one can manipulate situations like these. Just like the time he helped the Great Barbarian Ape gather Vermilion Fruits and chose to forsake the task reward to keep the fruits for himself, that too was a choice. The situation now was somewhat similar. Either help the White Ape ask a question in exchange for a Supreme Sword Technique. Or, he could ask his own question. Although he would not receive a reward, he could gain guidance from the Immortal, an opportunity not commonly afforded to the average person. Immortals surely knew many secrets unknown to mortals, such as—how to become an Immortal! Probably, only Immortals would know about such matters. But Xiao Jie dared not make a hasty decision. Becoming an Immortal was not at all easy; if messed up, it could truly end up as a waste of effort. The possibility of becoming an Immortal was not very high, whereas securing the Supreme Martial Arts from White Ape was almost certain. How should he choose between the two... Xiao Jie felt conflicted and reviewed the introduction of the adventure task again. [Task Objective: Help the White Ape Sword Saint resolve his doubts.] Reading the task’s introduction sparked an idea in Xiao Jie. The task only required helping the White Ape resolve its doubts, not necessarily obtaining the answer from the Immortal. If he could resolve it himself, couldn’t he reap double rewards? The issue with the White Ape seemed to be one of identity recognition. It had grown up with humans, accustomed to human intelligence, but it itself was a monkey, unable to find a sense of belonging in human society. On the monkey side, although it was physically a monkey, its intellect far surpassed the average monkey, which caused it to disdain those monkeys as too foolish, thus unable to find belonging in monkey society either. This led to it not fitting in anywhere, and even being the king of the Monkey Valley, it didn’t feel much joy. This was understandable; if he were literally the monkey king in a real zoo, he wouldn’t be happy either. So how could he help the White Ape find a sense of belonging? Xiao Jie thought hard, and a bright idea suddenly struck him. Haha, I truly am a genius, just do it this way, and I guarantee the White Ape will be satisfied. That settles it, I’ll use this question for myself. He decisively chose Option 1. "Thank you, Immortal. I indeed have a question to ask." "Please speak." But no new dialogue box appeared; clearly, he could improvise the question, so no need to fret. "I wish to know how one can become an Immortal! I humbly ask the Immortal to enlighten me."
