As the three of them walked out of Xuanxu Palace, I Want to Be Immortal was still wallowing in self-pity.
"I’m so foolish, really. I shouldn’t have chosen to become a Warrior. If I hadn’t chosen to be a Warrior, I wouldn’t have become a Yellow Turban Warrior. If I hadn’t become a Yellow Turban Warrior, I wouldn’t have become a Guardian Giant Spirit. If I hadn’t become a Guardian Giant Spirit... sigh..."
"I should have saved more Spiritual power and followed the Taoist path. If I had taken the Taoist path, I wouldn’t have—sigh..."
Listening to I Want to Be Immortal’s continuous lamenting, Xiao Jie was speechless.
"Alright, alright, we know you’re upset. Stop dwelling on it. It’s useless to keep complaining. Besides, don’t worry too much. Those were just speculations earlier. Maybe it didn’t affect anything at all. After all, your power comes from the game. Even if you broke your Pure Yang Body in reality.
As long as you still have the Pure Yang Body in the game, your power won’t fade. The abilities in the game will transfer to the real world. Maybe in a few hours, your power will be restored. Who knows, maybe it wasn’t affected at all."
Xiao Jie’s comforting words finally brought I Want to Be Immortal back to his senses.
"Right, as long as nothing’s wrong in the game, it doesn’t matter if I lose my power in the real world. But it feels a bit suspicious... is it really okay?"
Ye Luo teased, "If I were you, I wouldn’t take the risk. Better safe than sorry. If your power really disappears, you’ll be in trouble. You can’t just complain to the GM."
"This..." I Want to Be Immortal immediately fell into another dilemma.
Indeed, as Ye Luo said, better safe than sorry. It seemed like I Want to Be Immortal couldn’t let it go.
Xiao Jie said, "Don’t think too much about it. What’s done is done; you’ve made your choice. Focus on mastering your power first. Besides, you’re only in your early twenties. Maybe in a few years, when you advance further, you’ll become even stronger and won’t be limited by this anymore."
I Want to Be Immortal immediately grabbed onto this like a lifeline, "Yes, yes, now I’m just a God, affected by this limitation. If I become an Immortal in the future, I won’t be restricted. I’m still young; a few years without a girlfriend is no big deal."
In this game, among Gods and Immortals, it was evident that Immortals were the most powerful. Gods, comparatively, were somewhat lacking in prestige.
This was evident from Master Mingyue’s attitude towards Gods. Taoists practiced cultivation and striving to become Immortals. Only if that route failed, would they turn to the path of Divine Skills.
The Guardian Giant Spirits from ten thousand years ago were merely war machines created by Immortals, selecting only the less talented individuals; those with true potential would have pursued Immortality.
"Let’s go level up first," Ye Luo suggested.
"Indeed, let’s level up first," Xiao Jie agreed.
Although Ye Luo and I Want to Be Immortal had completed their respective advanced profession quests and met the advancement conditions, they hadn’t fully acquired the corresponding profession abilities. It was clear that it was because they hadn’t officially changed their professions yet.
To truly transform, they needed to first reach Level 30 and complete the profession change. If they didn’t choose their professions at Level 30, the abilities they gained would likely just be basic trial versions.
As for where to level up, naturally, it would be Soul Suppressing Pass.
Nowadays, it had become the leveling haven for the Dragon Soaring Guild. A large portion of Dragon Soaring’s high-level members had gone there to level up.
The three of them flew swiftly to Soul Suppressing Pass. As soon as they exited the gate, they started farming monsters in the wild.
Both Ye Luo and I Want to Be Immortal were just a step away from Level 30, so in less than half an hour, both reached Level 30 together.
"Feng, I leveled up!" I Want to Be Immortal shouted excitedly as golden light flashed around him.
Xiao Jie instantly felled the last Little Monster with a chop and hurriedly asked, "What profession did you get?"
Iron Guard—General?—and Guardian Giant Spirit!
Without hesitation, I Want to Be Immortal immediately chose the Guardian Giant Spirit as his third-tier profession.
He then showcased his profession abilities.
