Ye Hei Talks Little Stone into It, Undying Longevity Eternal Art
Xu Yi: "In fact, Flame Spirit Ji’s and Ying Zheng’s spacetime settings share the same background—the historical background of Dragon Country—but they are not in the same world. Flame Spirit Ji’s World is a high-martial-arts hybrid historical spacetime."
According to the timeline of the Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens spacetime, Flame Spirit Ji and Ying Zheng were actually figures from the same era.
However, the Chat Group’s Ying Zheng came from a purely historical spacetime. Although the Hundred Schools of Thought and certain people with the same names existed there, it did not have much to do with the Qin era.
But now that Ying Zheng was building Tech Great Qin and possessed Abandoning Heaven Emperor’s martial arts inheritance, in a sense, it was no longer a purely historical spacetime. Perhaps in the future, the plane would advance and become a Miracle Dynasty.
Ye Hei: "A high-martial-arts hybrid spacetime? Group Owner, just how high-martial-arts is it?"
Ye Fan was rather curious. The setting of parallel spacetimes mainly represented infinite possibilities.
Ying Zheng: "Group Owner, I am also very curious."
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Isn’t that easy to understand? Like Di Xin’s world—it has an entirely different worldview."
Xu Yi: "That makes sense. Flame Spirit Ji’s World contains many martial artists, and its combat strength surpasses that of many martial arts worlds. It also involves mythological elements. For example, Chi You and the Yellow Emperor truly existed. Divine beasts like Pixiu and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman also appeared throughout history.
"Perhaps thousands of years ago, immortals existed in that world. It may even have once been a flourishing immortal cultivation spacetime, only to decline for some reason."
Bad Commander: "Judging by the timeline of the First Emperor’s era, wouldn’t that be after Great Zhou’s eight hundred years of national fortune, after Investiture of the Gods? Once Investiture of the Gods ended, immortals were forbidden from meddling in mortal affairs. They all secluded themselves in the mountains, Severing Heaven and Earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extinguished?"
During the Investiture of the Gods war, the Saints fought until heaven and earth nearly collapsed. They almost reset earth, fire, wind, and water and evolved the world anew.
The earth’s spiritual veins shattered, and spiritual energy dissipated too quickly. Naturally, that was not conducive to cultivation, leaving behind only a few Qi Practitioners.
Sword God Li Chungang: "Gang, you even know about that?"
Flame Spirit Ji: "So immortals existed in my world before?"
Bad Commander: "This Commander was merely speculating. Do not take it seriously."
Xu Yi: "There is some truth to it. The basic logic is correct. But if you want to uncover the mysteries of your world, you will have to search for them yourself. Of course, you must first possess the strength to control your own fate, or you might become a Pet Fish if you are not careful!"
Bai Xiaochun: "How pitiful. How could people be so awful?"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Yeah, how perverted."
Wu Liuqi: "Eating melon! Same old offer, anyone need a haircut? Twenty percent off!"
Sun Goukong: "Hahaha, no need."
Flame Spirit Ji: "Scared!"
Ye Hei: "Sister Ji, don’t be afraid. Brother Ye will protect you. With a flick of my finger, Brother Ye will turn those petty scoundrels to ashes."
Great Wilderness Milk-Eating Baby: "Wow, Brother Ye, you’re amazing."
Ye Hei: "Of course, Little Stone! If anything happens, come find Brother Ye. You definitely can’t go wrong. In the future, we’ll sweep away the Dark Turmoil together and destroy the Highland Primordial Ancestors together."
Great Wilderness Milk-Eating Baby: "Mm-hmm…"
Just hearing it made Little Stone’s blood boil. He could not wait to level up to max immediately.
In truth, if the future Huang Heavenly Emperor was willing to cheat, Little Stone could naturally reach max level in an instant.
Just like Ye Hei, he carried the power of his future self within him.
An existence Above Sacrificial Dao only needed a single thought to create an expert at the Sacrificial Dao realm—and could create as many as desired.
The Plateau’s ten Dark Ancestors had merely been created from the Bone Ash Emperor’s ashes. The dark creatures created from those ashes alone had harvested an unknown number of eras from the Myriad Realms.
Flame Spirit Ji: "Thank you, Brother Ye."
Ye Hei: "You’re welcome! Hehe!"
Tushan Second Head: "Showing off!"
Ye Hei: "Sister Yaya, how can you say that? I am refined in character and honest by nature. My reputation in the Big Dipper is such that everyone sings my praises."
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Who would believe that?"
Qian Renxue: "I certainly wouldn’t."
Iron Man: "Right, right, right. You even specialized in stealing Saintesses’ bellybands. Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Ye Hei: "?? No, that’s slander. Ye Hei did that—what does it have to do with me, Ye Fan?"
Xu Yi: "A like for you, Ye Fan. Only by doing this can you accomplish great things."
Ye Hei: "See that, everyone? Even the Group Owner supports me!"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "I’m so jealous!"
Qian Renxue: "What are you jealous of, Wang Jindan?"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "I also want the Group Owner’s unconditional trust."
Xu Yi: "…"
Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "Wang Jindan, the Group Owner has given you too much trust. You scare newcomers every time."
Sect Leader Yun Yun: "How terrifying, Wang Jindan!"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Sister Yun Yun, come cuddle!"
Sect Leader Yun Yun: "Get lost!"
Goosebumps rose all over Yun Yun’s body. Thinking of Wang Wu’s sleazy appearance, she knew she would have nightmares again tonight.
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Heartbroken. Xue’er, come cuddle, give me a hug."
Qian Renxue: "…"
Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "…"
Little Huang Rong: "Scary!"
Little Dragon Girl: "Scary!"
Zhang Sanfeng: "This old man cannot understand matters concerning immortals!"
Bad Commander: "True Man Zhang, there is no need to understand."
Feng Baobao: "Eating melon!"
Bai Yuekui: "Same!"
Meanwhile, in the cultivation plane where Bai Xiaochun lived.
After reading the script, Bai Xiaochun still did not understand many things, including what would happen in the future. But it did not matter. Rather than agonizing over the future, it was better to focus on the present and live the present perfectly.
Therefore, the first thing he needed to do now was join the Lingxi Sect and begin his great cultivation undertaking. Previously, because he feared being struck by lightning, he had never fully lit the ancestral Spiritual Incense. Now that he had read the script, he knew he would not be struck by lightning at all.
With that thought, Bai Xiaochun ran out of his village in one breath and climbed the mountain to light the ancestral Spiritual Incense. Muttering under his breath, he said, "Spirits of heaven, spirits of earth, immortals, show your divine power!"
Smoke curled up from the Spiritual Incense, transforming into a thin thread that disappeared into the clouds and continued flying in one direction.
At the same time, dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.
A thick shadow covered the earth, and the light between heaven and earth slowly vanished.
Watching the increasingly violent lightning, Bai Xiaochun’s heart trembled. In truth, he was not certain whether he would be struck by lightning.
Looking back on the past ten-odd years, he had always diligently behaved himself. Although he had eaten meals from every household, he had gotten along very well with all the uncles and aunties. He only occasionally stole the uncles’ chickens and roasted them to eat…
While Bai Xiaochun was reminiscing, a green rainbow streaked over from afar. Then, amidst dazzling sword qi, a middle-aged man in green robes slowly descended from the sky, and the dark clouds dispersed at that moment.
Though the middle-aged man was no longer young, his sharply defined features were still visible. In his youth, he must have been a handsome sword cultivator with sword-like brows and starry eyes.
When Bai Xiaochun saw the newcomer, though he had read the script, he was not sure whether this was the same person. Fate was always mysterious, after all. Nothing was ever one hundred percent certain; even things written in advance could undergo unexpected changes.
Without hesitation, he threw himself flat on the ground and shouted, "Immortal, you’ve finally come! This junior has missed you so much!"
The green-robed cultivator glanced at Bai Xiaochun and said, "Are you a descendant of the Bai family?"
"That’s right, this junior is Bai Xiaochun." Bai Xiaochun immediately said excitedly.
The green-robed cultivator came to a realization, and memories from a century ago surfaced in his eyes. Back then, he had still been a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He had been severely wounded by an enemy and was fortunately saved by the Bai family, allowing him to escape danger without mishap and advance to the Golden Core Stage.
He had wanted to repay the favor, but unfortunately, the Bai family had no talent for cultivation. That was something he could not change.
So, he had simply given them some pills and Spiritual Incense, promising that if the Bai family’s descendants ever had a request in the future, he would certainly help them.
"I am Li Qinghou. Since you are the descendant of an old friend, speak. Whatever you want, I can satisfy it," the green-robed cultivator said.
"I want to cultivate immortality and attain longevity." Bai Xiaochun did not hesitate in the slightest.
"?" Li Qinghou was puzzled.
He then examined Bai Xiaochun from head to toe. He had a little Spiritual Root, but not much. His talent was average.
The Bai family’s ancestor had possessed no Spiritual Root and had no talent for cultivation. A century later, one had appeared among his descendants. Though his aptitude was poor, it still counted as incense rising from the family ancestral grave.
"With your talent, Foundation Establishment may be your limit, and even that would be exceedingly difficult. Out of gratitude for your ancestor’s kindness, I can use pills to forcefully raise you to Foundation Establishment, but that is all. Two or three hundred years later, you will still be nothing but a pile of yellow earth. You would be better off making a more practical wish.
"For example, becoming an official. To us cultivators, in a mortal dynasty, you can do whatever you want. Or you could have inexhaustible gold and silver, wealth and glory for a lifetime, vast family riches, and countless descendants."
Li Qinghou spoke each word clearly. Mortals longed for the world of cultivators, yet they knew nothing of the hardship and danger of cultivation.
Too many people had fallen on this path. Even geniuses became stepping stones for other geniuses, much less someone like Bai Xiaochun, whose talent was not particularly good.
He was a Golden Core Stage cultivator, but in another place, he would be nothing more than a somewhat larger cannon fodder. That was even more true for Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators.
Bai Xiaochun revealed a conflicted expression. He stared anxiously at Li Qinghou and said, "Uncle Li, can’t I cultivate immortality if I have no talent? I don’t want to become an official, and I don’t want gold or silver. I only seek cultivation and longevity."
Upon hearing this, Li Qinghou looked seriously at Bai Xiaochun. He seemed to see his former self in him, except that he himself had been someone who fled because he dared not face reality.
He sighed. "Fine. But cultivation is not so easy. Once you enter the sect, I will not give you special treatment. You must fight for everything yourself."
Bai Xiaochun immediately perked up and smiled. "Don’t worry, Uncle Li. I won’t tell anyone that I got in through the back door."
"…" Li Qinghou.
Then, with a wave of Li Qinghou’s hand, the two of them were already speeding through the sky ten thousand meters above the ground.
Bai Xiaochun was so frightened that he could not open his eyes. He clung tightly to Li Qinghou’s waist.
Mortal World, Yellow Maple Valley.
Han Li looked at the thriving spirit herbs in the medicinal field outside, which had been nourished until they flourished, and muttered, "Should I find a powerful cultivation art and switch to it?"
Only after cultivating to the Nascent Soul Stage did he realize that his cultivation art was still the Evergreen Skill, a basic immortal cultivation art. Reaching the Nascent Soul Stage had only been possible through the Chat Group’s assistance and the accumulation of various resources, forcing his way through.
Previously, Han Li had not felt much about it. He had simply cultivated step by step. Now, he recognized his own shortcomings.
Furthermore, the Evergreen Skill was originally an auxiliary cultivation art and did not offer much enhancement in combat.
"Where should I go to find a cultivation art?" Han Li pondered.
He did not care for ordinary cultivation arts, but he did not know where to find high-grade ones. As for Yellow Maple Valley’s arts, there was no need to mention them.
Han Li glanced at his points balance. He had a little over ten thousand points remaining. It seemed he could try the lottery. If he was lucky, he might obtain a top-grade cultivation art. If he was unlucky, he would get nothing at all.
"Chat Group, give me three draws," Han Li silently said.
Three draws require Three Thousand Points. Begin?"Yes." Han Li’s gaze was resolute.
A festive lottery interface appeared before him, its pointer spinning rapidly.
Three mysterious treasure chests appeared one after another and slowly opened.
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining Attribute Points: Charm ×10!
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining Attribute Points: Agility ×10!
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining Attribute Points: Charm ×10!"??" Han Li looked at the lottery rewards. Clearly, this round’s rewards were all of the same type—some kind of Attribute Points.
Attribute Points: Correspond to the various characteristics of the human body. Allocating points can emphasize the body's strengths and possesses great potential in social interactions and daily life."I’ll try adding charm points," Han Li said.
Ding! Successfully allocated 10 points.Han Li did not feel anything. There was not even the slightest change. He could not help taking out a mirror and looking at himself. After examining himself carefully, he secretly thought, It seems like I really do look better than before. Is that an illusion?
Without thinking further, Han Li added the agility points as well. Without using Magical Power, his speed increased four or fivefold. He walked like the wind, light as a swallow, and could automatically dodge certain objects as though he had foreseen them in advance.
"It would have been great if they had all been agility points." Han Li looked regretful.
"Chat Group, draw three more times."
Han Li continued drawing. He knew that if he wanted to transcend fate, he had to use powers that existed beyond fate.
The lottery interface appeared once more.
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining the Basic Qi Refining Art!
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining Essence Stabilizing Pills ×10!
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining Talismanship Mastery!"…"
"Draw five more times!" Han Li’s eyes were slightly red. This was every draw he could afford. After this, he would have less than a thousand points remaining.
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining the Green Emperor Wood Monarch Skill from the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability!When Han Li saw the first lottery reward, his eyes lit up. Just the name alone sounded incredibly impressive. It had to be a top-grade cultivation art.
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining 10 crates of Happy Water.
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Sky Finger!
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining Cultivation Version Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus ×3!
Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to group member Han Li for obtaining the Divine Level Art: Undying Longevity Eternal Art!When the final reward appeared, Han Li automatically filtered out all the earlier rewards and focused solely on the last one.
The Undying Longevity Eternal Art, a supreme immortal Dao cultivation art.
It was divided into the Undying Scroll, the Longevity Scroll, and the Eternal Scroll. The Undying Scroll contained six volumes, the Longevity Scroll five volumes, and the Eternal Scroll three thoughts.
The Undying Scroll broke through the five great shackles of life. The Longevity Scroll unraveled the five great seals of eternity. Eternal Chaos allowed one to comprehend Origin Dao techniques and transcend the mundane to enter sainthood.
Only after a long while did Han Li come back to his senses. If he cultivated this art to perfection, not only would his physical body be invincible, but his Primordial Spirit would also have no flaws. He would even be able to cultivate the Origin laws of heaven and earth. It could be called impregnable and flawless.
"Excellent!" Han Li was overjoyed.
He had only taken a cursory look, yet he could not help becoming deeply engrossed in it, unable to pull himself away.
But then a problem arose. It seemed that cultivating the Undying Scroll to completion was extremely difficult. The first step was body refinement, and it was incredibly dangerous. One wrong move could kill him. The requirements for body refinement were far too high, and he even had to be struck by lightning! Han Li was naturally cautious, but this cultivation art took a risky and unconventional path. The rewards were enormous, but so was the price. For a time, Han Li was conflicted.
P.S.: Ahem.
