The beginning of Zhang Meng, the ancestor of Qi training

Su Yu looked at the elderly man down below; time is just like this.

When Su Yu last looked at him, he was still a newborn baby, but now, seeing him again, he had already become an old man with graying temples.

Reality is just like this; the Lifespan of those in the Qi Refinement Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage is not much longer than that of a Mortal.

Only by achieving a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage will one's Lifespan see an explosive increase.

For someone like Su Yu, he does not need to worry about the issue of Lifespan; it can be said that as long as Su Yu does not die, he is an eternal existence.

As long as the proficiency is sufficient, the Realm will naturally be reached.

The Taiyin Spirit looked at Li Shi below and said, "This Li Shi is stuck in the Qi Refinement Stage."

"Although he is now the number one person of the Human Race in this world and holds the title of Ancestor of Qi Refining,"

"but it is also because he is the first person; without predecessors to guide him or explore the next Realm, many things must depend on himself."

"His talent is limited; in my opinion, he has reached his limit."

Su Yu understood the process behind this; Li Shi had learned about the dream regarding immortal cultivation within the dreamscape provided by the Taiyin Spirit.

Since he was young, he was different from ordinary people. Martial arts practice was easy for him; he could even be called a peerless Genius, learning any martial art as soon as he tried it.

He was hailed by the Li family as the next number one person in the world.

But just when everyone was expecting Li Shi to accept his father's title and Legacy, Li Shi suddenly mentioned immortal cultivation one day.

This also reminded everyone of the legendary stories they could occasionally hear during their childhood.

They had always thought that immortal cultivation did not exist and was just a story woven by everyone; after all, in this world for so long, no immortal cultivator had ever appeared.

They didn't even dare to imagine people who could move mountains, fill seas, fly through the sky, or escape into the ground.

Those of them who practiced martial arts could at most manage to cross a river on a single reed or tread across grass.

Those with better lightness skills could fly briefly, but it was even more impossible for someone who could move mountains and fill seas to appear.

Ever since Li Shi mentioned immortal cultivation, he seemed to have become a different person, researching how to cultivate immortality all day long.

He kept saying that only by cultivating immortality could one attain eternal life, but eternal life was such an unreachable word.

Li Shi's eyes were full of longing for immortal cultivation; from then on, he stopped practicing martial arts and acted strangely all day long.

The people in the Li family also had no way to deal with him.

Some said Li Shi had gone mad, that it was Heaven's jealousy of a Genius.

Others said Li Shi had been cursed to become like this; in short, there were all kinds of rumors.

Li Shi went from being that Genius whom everyone admired and the successor to the number one spot in the world to someone everyone avoided.

And just when everyone thought Li Shi's life would pass like this,

one day Li Shi snuck away and fled the Li family.

No one knew where Li Shi had gone.

The Li family had once sent people to search, but they did not find any trace of Li Shi; it was as if he had vanished into thin air.

Such matters were constantly discussed in the Jianghu during that period.

Some even said Li Shi was already dead, assassinated by others.

Otherwise, how could they not find him?

And these things were actually the biggest blow to Li Daoran.

Although he remained silent, everyone knew that having his own son suddenly become like this would be hard for anyone to bear.

Li Daoran was somewhat dazed; even if he was the so-called number one in the world, what of it?

In the end, he couldn't protect anything; what was the use of having this martial arts prowess?

Just when everyone thought the matter had passed,

and the fall of that former super Genius of the Li family had completely ended,

the development of events was not that simple.

Everything was an arrangement by the Taiyin Spirit; when the words immortal cultivation appeared in the public eye once again,

then those legendary stories of fantasy would become reality.

The Taiyin Spirit was secretly planning everything.

With the help of Yun Nan's illusion, it successfully allowed Li Shi to come into contact with so-called immortal cultivation.

When Li Shi obtained that Qi Refining Legacy at that time, tears could not stop flowing from his eyes.

The thing he had searched for his whole life was real; indeed, that dream was real, and he had truly found that so-called immortal cultivation.

And so, Li Shi began his path of immortal cultivation.

This Cultivation Technique could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was also something the Taiyin Spirit had considered.

When Li Shi stepped into the Qi Refining First Layer, this world would welcome a new starting point.

That year, the forty-year-old Li Shi reached the Qi Refining Stage 3.

That's right, he came out of seclusion.

He wanted to return to his original place; he wanted to let the world know that immortal cultivation truly existed, and they should not be limited to the martial Dao.

They could attain eternal life. Li Shi understood that this goal was very difficult, but someone had to stand up.

He wanted to be that person who stood up.

But he knew that immortal cultivation had conditions; only those with a Spiritual Root could cultivate immortality.

He wanted to search for those with a Spiritual Root and create a place for enlightenment.

And the Taiyin Spirit also began its actions.

The Taiyin Spirit opened some barriers at the boundary of the Yao Race.

It let a few Qi Refining First Layer Yao Beasts come out.

The appearance of these Yao Beasts shocked the world; wanting to defeat those Yao Beasts required the loss of a large number of people.

Such a result made many people begin to panic.

After learning about this, Li Daoran resolutely went to confront the Yao Beasts.

Anyway, he didn't have many attachments, and as the number one in the world, he should fulfill his responsibility.

But when he fought the Yao Beasts, he realized how great the gap was between himself and these Yao Beasts.

He was defeated, defeated very thoroughly; his so-called number one in the world could do nothing against these Yao Beasts.

Just as Li Daoran was accepting his fate,

a figure appeared before his eyes.

This figure was so familiar yet so strange.

Li Shi's appearance surprised Li Daoran, and he immediately followed up with, "Run quickly, you are no match for them."

Seeing his son after so many years, he hadn't expected this result.

But Li Shi ignored everyone's gaze.

Li Shi pinched a spell gesture, and it didn't take long for him to eliminate these Qi Refining First Layer Yao Beasts.

This scene shocked everyone; what exactly was this?

But soon, everyone recalled some things about Li Shi.

The words immortal cultivation appeared in everyone's minds.

Everyone's hearts began to beat non-stop; a crazy idea formed in their minds—could it be true?

Li Daoran was also wearing a look of disbelief.

"Father, this child is unfilial; your child has returned."

"You… this, could it be that what you were pursuing back then is real?"

Li Shi nodded, "It is real; immortal cultivation truly exists, and your child has already stepped onto the path of eternal life."

"But this path of eternal life is too distant, so distant that it is unbelievable; your child cannot see his own future."

"Your child is limited alone, and the road is very difficult, but your child must let future generations continue to walk it."

"To pursue that method of eternal life, your child will tell the world about this."

And precisely because of this, after the people in this world learned about this matter, their worldview began to change.

Immortal cultivation is real; can they also attain eternal life?
