Chapter 161 - Immorality At Third Stage?! (WTF) (2/2)

At that time immortality could be achieved on the fifth stage of the cultivation, but now he was hearing that it was achievable at the third stage of cultivation!!

His mind was in complete chaos at that time. He didn't even know if that was a dream or a reality. A transmigration or a parallel universe.

In olden times immortality was something that every cultivator wanted to achieve. And to do that they had to walk a path of hardship, losses, and pains.

But here, they were getting immortality at the third stage, like getting a chocolate bar from a shop.

'Just what in the world is going on here?!' screeched Aryan in his mind.

Now that his mind was in a mess he asked out the meaning of immortality to Grand Elder.

Grand Elder laughed and said, ”Becoming a being who can't be killed is called immortality.”

Now that he was clearer about the meaning of immortality another question popped up in his mind.

In ancient times cultivators had the idea that once they become an immortal, they can live as they wanted to be. Without the fear of others. But now that he found out some more stages above immortality he wanted to know the necessity of achieving them.

”Gramps, just a quick question. What's the necessity of achieving the other stages, after achieving immortality? I mean after becoming an immortal no one will be able to kill you, so what's the reason we should ascend to higher stages?”

”That's an interesting question. Not many kids ask about it.” Muttered Grand Elder and answered his question.

”The thing is, even if you become an immortal and no one can kill you what will happen if we place ten strong immortals at one place?” asked Grand Elder.

”Uh… They will fight for power…..”

”Yes, they will fight for supremacy, and to win such a fight one have to ascend higher.”

”I see~~~”

”Yes, and not only that some have to ascend higher to maintain the peace in the society. So it became common long ago to ascend higher and not to stop at immortality.”

”Oh~~!!”

”And not only that, there are some other ways too through which an immortal can be defeated. Like trapping him somewhere, or sealing his soul or his body somewhere, putting him or her to an eternal sleep….. and so on.”

After hearing him out he understood the reasons and the necessity of ascending higher and didn't contemplate any further on it.

”So you are clear about it? Or anything else you want to ask?”

”No, I am clear,” replied Aryan.

”Good, moving to the next topic, we will be visiting the sage garden today, there you will awake your cultivation star and get your cultivation technique.”

”Okay,” said Aryan, and didn't ask any further questions.

This time he had a memory of the personality called Sen who knew everything about awakening processes and procedures.

After gossiping and discussing for some more time the entire family got ready to leave for the sage garden.

Aryan was curious to see how they will travel there. By flying or by any transportation. But all his anticipation was crushed when his gramps gathered everyone around him and opened the door to go outside.

Aryan was thinking the door would lead them out of the mansion. And as predicted it led them out of the mansion, but a little too far out of the mansion.

The door opened a portal just before the entrance of the sage garden.

Aryan took the first step out and entered the vast garden before him. Even in his memory of the last ten years, he had never been to the sage garden before.

It was his first time there.

On a closer look, the sage garden was somewhat similar to the heavens garden of his old world.

Following Aryan, the others too entered the sage garden and made their way towards a giant gate present there.

Aryan was somewhat surprised after seeing the gate and wanted to ask something about it. When suddenly he felt a pain in his stomach.

He tried to suppress the pain but the pain kept on increasing. Grand Elder noticed it and waved his hands towards him. Suddenly, the pain vanished and Aryan started to feel good again.

”Gramps?!”

”Ahahahaha, looks like your soul sea is about to burst open. We shouldn't delay it any further.”

”Yes, we shouldn't,” agreed the other and hurried to the giant gate before them.

Sen too followed them and reached near the gate.....
