“Then I’ll set off now,” Tang Yuanshan said decisively.
“Alright.” Chen Tianshi nodded. Then, he flicked his finger and sent a small ball of light to Tang Yuanshan. “Senior Brother, there’s information about that Star Sea here and the Star Map to that side.”
“Alright.” Tang Yuanshan took the ball of light and skimmed through the information inside. He nodded and said, “Mansion Lord, just wait for my good news. Qinghe, Haitang, follow me.”
“Yes, Master!” Yang Qinghe and Qiu Haitang said in unison.
… .
After Tang Yuanshan left with his two disciples, Chen Tianshi let the group of Blackhole Realm elders leave.
Only Chen Tianshi and the other Grand Elder, Lin Tong, were left in the main hall.
“Mansion Lord, the Star Sea you mentioned just now should be the Silver Disc Star Sea outside the edge of the Great Yan Holy Land, right?” Lin Tong asked Chen Tianshi.
“Yes, that’s right. It’s there.” Chen Tianshi nodded and said, “I didn’t expect the Six Heaven Gates Diagram to really be in that Star Sea. Wang Daoyi also died there.”
“Senior Brother Tang is so bold.” Lin Tong sighed with emotion when he heard this. “To be honest, if I knew that I was going to the Silver Disc Star Sea this time, even if I agreed at the beginning, I would have gone back on my word. That central silver disc world of that Star Sea is too mysterious.”
“I know this too, and so does Senior Brother Tang.” Chen Tianshi looked out of the hall and sighed softly. “Actually, Senior Brother Tang told me some time ago that he doesn’t have long to live.”
“What? Didn’t he just live to the eighth life?” Lin Tong’s eyes widened as he said in shock, “A Xuan Sea realm cultivator like us should be able to live to the ninth life as long as we take the spiritual root divine medicine.”
The normal limit of a martial artist’s lifespan after stepping into the True World realm was two million years.
Generally speaking, as long as one passed this limit, they would die of old age and reincarnate.
During this process, one would fall into an extremely serious trance. They might not even be able to retain the memories of their previous life.
The pursuit of longevity was the instinct of any living being. In order to extend their lifespan and preserve their memories, countless experts had done extensive research on the subject.
Therefore, there were endless methods to extend one’s lifespan and secret techniques to preserve one’s memories.
But even so, they could only extend their lifespan to three million years at most. After reaching this limit, they would have to reincarnate.
However, the Ancient Kings still found a loophole.
As long as they took a spiritual root divine medicine that matched their lifespan and circulated a secret technique, they could restart the vitality in their body and retain their cultivation level to live a second, third, fourth, or even more life.
Of course, there was also a limit to this method.
Shattering Realm martial artists could only live for a third life. Blackhole Realm martial artists could live for a sixth life, while Mystic Sea Realm martial artists could live for a ninth life. Their maximum lifespan was 27 million years!
Tang Yuanshan started his eighth life 2 million years ago. Not to mention that he still had a lifetime to live, he still had a million years in this life.
How could he not have long to live?
“Senior Brother, do you still remember that a peerless genius rose up in the God Desolation Valley 20 years ago?” Chen Tianshi asked instead of answering.
“I remember. This child’s name is Zhong Xianyuan. He cultivated to the Xuan Sea Realm at the age of less than a thousand years. He can be said to be the number one person in history.” Lin Tong nodded, but he was a little puzzled. “Why did you suddenly mention him?”
“More than ten years ago, Senior Brother Tang was injured by Zhong Xianyuan, leaving behind a Dao injury.” Chen Tianshi sighed and said, “Unless his cultivation breaks through again, he won’t be able to live a ninth life.”
“Zhong Xianyuan can leave a Dao injury on Senior Brother Tang?!” Lin Tong was shocked when he heard this. He almost could not believe his ears. “How old is that kid? How long has he broken through to the Xuan Sea Realm? Senior Brother Tang has cultivated for…”
“To such a peerless genius, is there any meaning in cultivating for a few more years?” Chen Tianshi interrupted Lin Tong and shook his head with a sigh. “Moreover, the God Desolation Valley is not a force that we can afford to offend. Senior Brother Tang can only save himself. I hope that the opportunity he needs is in the Silver Disc Star Sea and it can help him improve further.”
“…” Lin Tong was silent for a moment before sighing. “In this Holy Land, the strong are still respected. This is the eternal truth. Sigh…
How did Zhong Xianyuan cultivate so quickly and be so powerful? Is he still human? I heard that his aptitude was not good when he was young and he could not even cultivate. How did he suddenly become such a peerless genius?”
“I’ve heard some rumors,” Chen Tianshi said in a low voice. “It’s said that Zhong Xianyuan is the reincarnation of an Ancient King, which is why he can cultivate so quickly.
The reason why he couldn’t cultivate when he was young was because the foundation brought about by the reincarnation of the Ancient King was too deep. It blocked the divine meridians in his body and cut off his path of internal and external cultivation.
Originally, in this situation, it would normally take more than a thousand people at the peak of the Xuan Sea Realm to open up a crack in his divine meridians and give him a chance to cultivate.
But suddenly, one day, his divine meridians were all connected. The foundation brought about by the reincarnation of the Ancient King turned into food for his cultivation. From then on, his improvement was lightning fast.
The reason why he could connect his divine meridians was said to be because he accidentally entered a mysterious Immortal realm and saw an unfathomable ancient Immortal. After returning, all the divine meridians in his body were automatically connected.
It’s said that it’s precisely for this reason that he changed his name to Zhong Xianyuan which has the literal meaning of Immortal Opportunity. It’s to forever remember the great kindness that the Immortal Ancient gave him.”
“Ancient Immortal!” Lin Tong was stunned when he heard this. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “As expected, the fortuitous encounters and opportunities of a peerless genius are not something ordinary people like us can hope for.”
An existence like an Ancient Immortal was no longer something that could be described as a legend.
This was a myth, an illusory thing.
Even in the scattered books passed down from the era of the Ancient Kings, the description of Ancient Immortals were very vague and mysterious.
There was actually someone who could meet an Ancient Immortal in this era.
It was simply unbelievable.
Humans really could not be compared!
“Let’s not talk about this for now. An existence like Zhong Xianyuan is too far away from us.” Chen Tianshi shook his head and said, “I only hope that Senior Brother Tang can succeed this time.
Even if he can’t bring the Six Heaven Gates Diagram back, it’s best if he can eliminate the Dao injuries in his body. This way, he can still live a ninth life and the pressure on our Tianqi Mansion will be lessened.”
“Yes, there should be a chance.” Lin Tong nodded and said, “It’s said that the Silver Disc Star Sea is a core part of an Ancient Holy Land that was left behind after it was destroyed. There’s a huge opportunity.”
… .
In the Dao Palace of the Grotto-Heaven World.
Cui Heng sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. In front of him, a bright silver stream of light revolved like water.
This was a three-inch-long blade.
It actually distorted the surrounding void slightly.
However, this distortion was not an effect on space.
Instead, it caused the flow of time to change.
This was the Time Saber.
After a series of preparations and refinement, Cui Heng finally refined a Dharma treasure equivalent to the Mid-stage Soul Formation realm.
At the same time, he cultivated the Time Saber to the Lesser Mastery realm.
With Cui Heng’s current cultivation realm, if he held the Dharma treasure and used the Dharma spell, the Time Saber, he could slash off 9,000,000 years of his lifespan with a single strike.
Its power was extremely terrifying.
If he attacked a few times in a row, almost no living being could withstand such a level of lifespan loss. They would all die of old age on the spot.
Moreover, while possessing huge power, the improvement of the Time Saber technique allowed Cui Heng to be immune to all time-type spells at the Soul Formation realm.
His overall safety had increased greatly.
“As expected of an Immortal technique. It’s completely different from the spells deduced previously.” Cui Heng opened his eyes and put away the Time Saber. “Now that the cultivation of the Time Saber has reached a certain level, I can choose some other Immortal techniques to cultivate. The power of the Immortal techniques are too powerful.
I still lack some pure offensive Immortal techniques. I should deduce them and deal with the “guests” that’s coming.”
