Capítulo 1039: Chapter 74: The Initial Immortal Fate

Xiao Jie rides on the clouds, having just flown a dozen miles away from Ginkgo Village, he suddenly slaps his forehead, exclaiming, “Oh no!” He was so focused on arranging the rebirth of everyone and thinking about long-term plans that he forgot the most urgent thing—the newbie equipment and supplies haven’t been distributed yet!

He hurriedly turned around, the azure rainbow-like Immortal light tracing a sharp yet graceful arc in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, he was back above Ginkgo Village.

Descending from the clouds, he could see from afar Wentian Wuji, Jiu Jianxian, and others sitting around the gigantic ginkgo tree at the village center, evidently still passionately discussing the upcoming development plans. The impatient Jiu Jianxian and Xia Yi the Unrivaled were already eager to test the system-gifted crude wooden sword and wooden spear by rushing out of the village to try them on some Little Monsters.

Wentian Wuji appeared much calmer; he held the two restless individuals down, speaking solemnly: “Everyone, stay calm! The priority isn’t the immediate thrill but determining our future development path! This time, we have a chance to do it again with Feng as our Immortal guide. Do we really want to randomly choose a Physical Profession with limited future like before? Immortal and God, we must plan from a ‘young age’—uh, from Level 1!”

“Huh? Feng? Why did you come back?” The sharp-eyed Jiu Jianxian was the first to notice Xiao Jie’s return, shouting in surprise.

Everyone heard him and looked up, faces filled with confusion.

Xiao Jie smiled somewhat awkwardly and descended among the crowd: “In my haste, I almost forgot the most important thing.” He said, opening his backpack, and with a thought, a small pile of items shimmering with various lights appeared on the ground.

These were all items he had previously managed to acquire for free in Gu Yun State. Although their grade wasn’t high, anything from an Immortal is top-grade, and they require extremely low equipment level, making them divine beginner’s artifacts for the current stage.

“These pieces of equipment have been preliminarily screened by me, with extremely low level and attribute requirements but quite practical effects.” Xiao Jie pointed to each item for introduction, “This ‘Flowing Firefly Short Sword’ comes with a weak evil-breaking effect, having miraculous effects against low-level undead; this ‘Hundred Layers Vine Armor’ is lightweight and tenacious, effectively resisting bites and scratches from ordinary beasts; and these ‘Gale Boots’ can slightly increase movement speed, useful for escaping when you can’t fight … As for the attributes, for now, they’re considered top-grade.

Given your skill level, crushing the Little Monsters around Newbie Village is definitely effortless.”

He picked up several small jade bottles: “These are top-level elixirs, all freely obtained from Gu Yun State. Use them when needed, don’t be stingy. After using them, I’ll get more if necessary.”

He distributed the elixirs to everyone, his expression becoming more serious, “Although I currently have some connections with Yama, if anything unexpected happens, perhaps I can fetch someone back. But ‘fetching someone’ ends up owing Cause and Effect favors, so try not to die, prioritize safety, understood?”

“Understood!” Everyone responded in unison, excitedly accepting the equipment and elixirs, playing with them fondly. Having these suddenly boosted their initial security and confidence greatly.

“We were just discussing whether to immediately start upgrading.” Jiu Jianxian eagerly swung the newly acquired Flowing Firefly Short Sword, impatiently expressing the idea.

Wentian Wuji looked at Xiao Jie and asked the most critical question: “Sui Feng, do you have any specific arrangements or suggestions for our ‘Path to Immortality’? Should we begin upgrading immediately? If we must upgrade, how should we allocate points? All these need to be planned in advance to avoid missteps and wasting this hard-won rebirth opportunity.

Now you’re the Immortal, these matters naturally fall under your leadership.”

Xiao Jie pondered momentarily, organizing his thoughts: “Although I have some ideas in mind, I can’t guarantee success. Therefore, my suggestion is—you can upgrade, accumulate experience, but remember two points: first, absolutely do not randomly allocate attribute points! Don’t add a single point! Second, tries to keep your level at Level 9, do not break through to Level 10! Preserve all free attribute points!”

He emphasized, “Otherwise, when ‘Immortal Fate’ arrives in the future, if you cannot accommodate it due to random allocation of points or excessive level, don’t blame me for not warning you ahead.”

“Immortal Fate?!”

These two words seemed to possess magic, instantly lighting up everyone’s eyes! Even the usually calm Wentian Wuji and Bai Ze felt their breath quicken.

“Hahaha! Feng! I knew you were considerate!” Jiu Jianxian excitedly almost jumped up, “Back then, we went all out to help you become an Immortal; we must have a share in this Immortal Fate!”

“Feng, give us a hint? What kind of Immortal Fate are we talking about?” Bai Ze rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.

Xiao Jie felt an inner bitter smile: “I honestly don’t know exactly what it is now!” His plan for everyone was, of course, to strive for guidance from Lin Xuance, Martial Arts Immortal, Miao Fa Yuanjun, and other Heaven Repair Alliance members. To invite ordinary dormant Immortals, first ignoring how many Cause and Effect points are needed, even if invited, they’ll likely be perfunctory, not truly imparting any profound Magic Skill.

Only Lin Xuance and others genuinely have a mission to “save the world,” and if he wants to ask them to help in the Netherworld, he can take this opportunity to let them see his “extraordinary roots, outstanding character” friends, sincerely request them to leave some legacy. As for what they could offer, that really depends on luck and their mood.
