I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.

Chapter 257 "Why should those who seek immortality fear death?"

Xiong Gao, standing beside the spring, looked at his father's departing back, and his excitement gradually subsided, but he could still not hide the smile on his lips.

He was very happy.

very happy.

Only after experiencing suffering can a person understand the taste of happiness. In the past, he often heard people fall into nihilism, and those who fall into nihilism are often a group of people with good incomes. He always believed that if he was like he was in the boundless desert of Daxia Kingdom, where he was not full every day and worried about tomorrow's food every day, he would definitely not fall into the so-called nihilism.

People cannot eat too much, because if they do, they will become evil.

It is precisely because of this that he is very satisfied and excited about the current situation. In other words, he is the only emperor of the brown bear clan!

Who says there is no emperor among brown bears?
He is Xiong Gao!
"Wait for you to play a few more songs, wait for you to return to your hometown, wait for you to get your name on the imperial examination"

"Oh my dear, don't worry, I will hold your red sleeves only for you in this life. After three rounds of wine, the moon is on the tree, and my heart is at peace."

Xiong Gang took out a pair of scissors from his arms, squatted beside the spring, looked at himself in the water, trimmed his hair, hummed a little tune, and began to look forward to his future life.

Everything is slowly getting better.

He, Xiong Gao, will no longer be unknown from today on!
"hehe."

"hehe."

At this time, in Pingxi Prefecture, in "Taiping Mansion", an old man with white hair and gray face was lying on a rocking chair in the backyard, leisurely waving the palm-leaf fan in his hand and laughing twice for no apparent reason.

Ten days ago, a decree from the Heavenly Dao resounded throughout the vast continent!
Chen Lu, the King of Xuantian, successfully survived the first-grade heavenly tribulation "Heaven-killing Thunder Tribulation", and obtained a ray of the luck of a peerless genius, a ray of the luck of the way of heaven, and a colorful entry with a one-year limited edition.

He didn't know what a first-grade heavenly tribulation was, nor had he ever heard of a heaven-killing thunder tribulation. He had no idea that heavenly tribulations could be divided into different grades.

But he knew one thing.

That is the fortune of the peerless genius and the value of the limited edition seven-color entries. Just based on these two points, he knew how powerful this first-grade heavenly calamity was. The reward is always proportional to the suffering. Of course, this refers to the way of heaven.

Apart from the way of heaven, there are countless people who have endured so much suffering without any reward.

In the way of heaven, the greater the reward, the greater the suffering.

To be able to receive such a reward is enough to prove the power of this level of heavenly tribulation.

He witnessed the scene with his own eyes.

In fact, it can't be said that he saw it, but he had a vague feeling that Pingxi Province and Xuantian Province were separated by land. Although there were shackles of provinces and continents, he once sensed that the power of heaven and earth in Xuantian Province was extremely strong, so he went to the place where the two provinces were separated.

He didn't see the calamity clouds or the heavenly calamity, after all, they were too far away.

However, he felt that the entire land of Xuantian Province was shaking slightly, and with the extremely rich power of heaven and earth in the center of Xuantian Province, he was clear about one thing: if this heavenly calamity struck him, he would definitely die.

However, his cultivation was at the middle stage of fusion, and he once killed two beings at the peak of fusion in one fell swoop.

This heavenly calamity is obviously a combined heavenly calamity.

just
The Qin Patriarch of Taiping Mansion frowned and fell silent in confusion. No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't imagine how a person could go from the first level of Refining Void to the early stage of Fusion in less than a year?
Did you fly up there, old man?
However, he is now very fortunate about one thing, that is, it was a very wise decision to give up the throne of Pingxi by faking his death a few days ago. Why was he so decisive at that time? This is the throne of Pingxi, and he could give it up without any hesitation.

Only after sitting firmly on the Pingxi throne for a year can one be considered to have fully possessed the Pingxi throne. In fact, one can almost stay on for a full year and then hand over the Pingxi throne to someone else. In this way, one can also enjoy nearly a year's 10 times faster cultivation speed.

I can only say that it's a good thing he didn't do that.

Not long after he returned from Pingxi Continent, Pingxi Continent was completely destroyed due to the collapse of the sky and the earth. Countless lives were wiped out from the world, and the poor descendants of his parents disappeared completely.

The underworlds between different continents are not interconnected.

Pingxi Continent has its own underworld, and Haohan Continent has its own underworld. As Pingxi Continent was reduced to ashes, the underworld of Pingxi Continent was also reduced to ashes, along with a group of poor children.

As for now
He could only mourn for the current King of Pingxi, who had come to him specifically before seizing the throne and asked him in a very polite manner if he really didn't want the throne of Pingxi. If he really didn't want it, then this person would take it himself.

Seeing such a friendly attitude, he couldn't help but speak up and advise, "Why not give up? The throne of Pingxi is very hot and your life may be in danger."

The words fell at that time.

The man exuded a heroic spirit and waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. For those who seek immortality, why should they fear death?"

Well, very heroic.

He felt inferior to me, and he sought immortality, but he was also afraid of death. If you were not afraid of death, why would you seek immortality? Wouldn't it be better to just find a place to commit suicide?
One has to be alive to seek immortality, right?
He admitted that his own ideological awareness was not that high, so at the time he could only say with some emotion: "Not as good as you."

He just watched the man go away. Apparently after getting his affirmation, he saw that the heroic spirit in this man became stronger. His departing back gave off a feeling of a hero who would rather let the world down than let the world down him.

His comment on this is.
Everyone has his own destiny, and no one can save those who seek death.

I hope that when you encounter Chen Lu’s twelve-level combined killing move, you can once again proudly say, “Why should those who seek immortality fear death?”
at the same time--

Weiyang Prefecture.

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face was standing on the edge of the cliff. Behind him was a rather simple hut with two characters "Xian Yi" engraved on the door plaque. This was his residence and also his name.

He gave this name to himself.

It means the first among the immortals.

He is a little arrogant, but his achievements along the way are worthy of his arrogance.

A few months ago, when Chen Lu was creating a Heavenly Dao grade outer body, he used the statues in the Heavenly Palace as consumables and upgraded the grade of his outer body to the twenty-fourth grade. Not many people knew about this, but he was definitely one of them.

Because he also had two statues in the Heavenly Palace of "Weiyangzhou". When Chen Lu broke through, the statue also upgraded the grade of his combined killing move from grade nine to grade eleven.

If nothing else was happening, he would be grinning from ear to ear.

But now he found it difficult to laugh.

How to laugh?
He is the fucking "King of Weiyang"!

He has been sitting in this position for seven months, and only five months away from a full year! When all the kings of the twelve states have sat in this position for a full year, the shackles of the states will be lifted, and the battle for the "only king" will begin!
How to fight now?
Take his fucking head and hit him? How can you face the twenty-fourth-grade combined killing move?
He was now very regretful. He regretted why he had wanted to seize the Weiyang throne. Now he was completely helpless. The only battle for the throne was an opportunity to raise a Gu. Only one person could survive. There was no way to admit defeat or quit. He could only try his best to stand to the end, or die.

He had no intention of practicing anymore, and there was no point in practicing anymore. He had been thinking for a while whether there was any way to pull himself out of this vortex.
perhaps
A hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. There really is a way, the land of eternal life!

There is an extremely secret place in the vast continent, called the Land of Eternal Life. As long as you go there, you will gain eternal and permanent life. But it also has a very strong disadvantage, which is that it is very difficult to get out of the Land of Eternal Life. Even if you get out by chance, you will only have one year to live.

The life span at this time cannot be compensated by any means, and one can only wait for death in a year.

He was a little unwilling.

He was clearly a peerless genius of his generation, who had fought all the way from the Weiyang Continent to the Haohan Continent and was almost invincible without any rivals in the world. Why was he so frightened by his opponent's name that he imprisoned himself for ten thousand years without even setting eyes on his opponent?
Who knows. Who knows, there may be another turning point!

"Twelve-level combined killing move?"

Taotianzhou.

A young woman was sitting on the edge of a flying boat, holding a fishing rod in her hand, fishing in the river. Listening to the concerns of her friend beside her, she pulled her temples behind her ears in a charming manner, and her voice was crisp with a hint of confidence.

"Know it."

"The Heavenly Dao's top-level outer body is naturally a twelfth-grade combined killing move. I knew about this when Chen Yu created a twelfth-grade outer body a few months ago. What's so surprising about this?"

"But." A cute little girl on the flying boat said with some concern, "That's a twelfth-grade combined killing move. You and I both know that the power of a combined killing move will be greatly different if the grade is lower."

"Although you are the strongest person in Taotianzhou who has not appeared in ten thousand years and has never met an opponent along the way, and you are from a hidden family in Taotianzhou, both your own foundation and family foundation are quite strong, but you only have the eleventh-grade combined killing move, how can you stop Chen Lu?"

"You."

The young woman couldn't help but smile and poked the nose of the little girl next to her: "The eleventh-grade combined killing move is already old news. I didn't want to tell you about it, but it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"I had a great opportunity a few years ago. It was a rather strange town. The people living in the town were all mortals who only had the Qi Refining cultivation level. But that town was full of top-level opportunities."

"I entered there by mistake, and I don't know how I got there. At that time, I didn't see what was so magical about that town. Even if there was a great opportunity in that town, it seemed to be covered in dust and I couldn't see it at all. I couldn't see it no matter whether I used my spiritual sense or any other means."

"At the time, I just thought it was an ordinary town, so I took a quick look around and prepared to leave. Before leaving, I suddenly wanted to buy a souvenir, so I bought a beautiful-looking jade ornament from an inconspicuous stall."

"After I left the town, I suddenly realized that the jade ornament in my hand had begun to emit colorful light. It quickly melted into my palm, raising the grade of my combined killing move by one level. Now the grade of my combined killing move is already the twelfth grade."

"I am now not weaker than Chen Yu."

"what?"

The young and lively girl had a hint of surprise in her eyes: "There is such a magical town in the world, so sister, didn't you go to this town again?"

"I went there, but I couldn't find it anymore. I went back the same way and checked it carefully, but I couldn't see the town anymore."

"I just regret that I didn't take more things out of that town that day. The vendors in that town are also quite magical. They don't ask for spiritual stones when selling things. You can take whatever you like. I didn't think much about it at the time and just picked one at random. If I had known earlier, I would have picked more."

"Yeah." The little girl didn't ask any more questions, but nodded obediently: "Since sister is so confident, then sister must be able to win the final and only king position. But sister, I clearly advised you not to fight for this heinous throne, why did you still fight for it behind my back?"

"You do not understand."

A hint of determination flashed in the young woman's eyes: "Although you have a prominent family background and have helped me a lot over the years, do you know that if a genius like me retreats one day, I will retreat forever?"

"The path of a genius is different from the path of a normal person seeking immortality."

"You can't retreat even a little bit. Once you retreat, your spirit will be gone. If you lose your spirit, you will soon be forgotten by everyone."

"not to mention--"

"Why should one who seeks immortality fear death?"

"."

The little girl's eyes gradually became lonely. After a long time, she suddenly forced a smile, stood up and said goodbye: "Then I won't bother you too much today, sister. There are still some things that the family needs me to do."

"Ah."

The young woman nodded and said nothing more, thinking it was just a child's temper.

And this petite and lively girl quickly turned into a stream of light and shot away into the distance. After thousands of breaths, she stopped at an uninhabited sea surface. She extended her spiritual consciousness to take a look, and her body immediately disappeared from the spot.

It’s a small world, and a small world that you can carry with you.

This kind of existence is extremely rare. If the news gets out, I don’t know how many people will covet it.

The girl who had just returned to the small world could no longer hold back her tears, and she threw herself into the arms of the old man beside her and sobbed sadly: "Grandpa, my sister really doesn't care about me at all."

"it's okay no problem."

The old man in the white robe also sighed and patted the little girl in his arms helplessly.

His name is Bai Yisheng.

He is the protector of the eldest daughter of the Bai Family, one of the top forces in the Third-grade Continent, Qitian Continent. He is also the protector of the little girl in front of him. He is in the early stage of Mahayana cultivation and his strength is the strongest in the vast continent, without a doubt.

Although he cannot exert his full strength due to the limitation of the continent's grade, no one can match him. After all, the difference in realm is difficult to make up for.

A few years ago.

The eldest daughter of the "Bai Family" suddenly fell ill, and even with the power and influence of the "Bai Family", there was no cure for this disease. After spending countless costs and using countless connections, the Bai Family finally found a miracle doctor in the Fourth Rank Continent.

People from the upper continent cannot go to the lower continent, and at most they can only convey information.

The Bai family spent a huge amount of money to invite this miracle doctor from the fourth-grade continent to come to the third-grade continent in person to diagnose the eldest daughter of the Bai family. The conclusion was that the disease the eldest daughter was suffering from was called "Immortal Cancer".

An extremely rare disease, only one in billions of people may suffer from this disease. It is so rare that no one in the Three Ranks Continent knows the name of this disease. There is no cause, it is a completely random attack.

According to this miracle doctor, God does not like people with bad luck.

People who get this disease are all unlucky, and their path to becoming an immortal is cut off.

The symptom of this disease is that one's cultivation will keep regressing, and the higher the level of the continent one stays in, the faster the regression will be. Regression in cultivation means a drastic reduction in lifespan. The young lady's cultivation level has fallen from the early stage of fusion a few years ago to the first level of refining emptiness now.

This is the result of the "Bai Family" spending a huge price to send the young lady and their bodyguards and servants to the lower continent, the second-grade continent, the vast continent. If they had stayed in the Qitian Continent, their cultivation would have fallen to the level of a spirit by now.

According to this posture.

In a hundred years at most, the young lady will return to dust.

After they arrived at the Vast Continent, they originally planned to go to Xuantian Prefecture. After all, Xuantian Prefecture was the weakest province in the entire Vast Continent, which meant that there were fewer opportunities and they could avoid many fights.

But when the young lady was in "Taotianzhou", she met the woman from the "Li family" and got along very well with her, so she couldn't help but take root in Taotianzhou. Their group also established the young lady's power, the Bai family, in Taotianzhou.

In fact, it is just to form a force with an apparent identity, but even if it is just used casually, it still becomes the top force in Taotianzhou.

The lady is very kind-hearted.

A few years ago, for the sake of his adopted sister, he gave her the entrance qualification to the "Land of Heaven" despite the opposition of the head of the family. This is a great opportunity that a person can only enter once in his life, but the entrant must enter without knowing it.

The young lady didn't know about this at first. After the master of the house accidentally revealed it, she started clamoring to give the qualification to her godsister. Although the master of the house was helpless, he had no choice but to give in.

Firstly, he dotes on his daughter more, and secondly, his daughter already knows the existence of the "Land of Destiny", so she has no chance to enter it.

A place of destiny.

It is a great opportunity that is fought over by countless people in the third-grade continent, Qitian Continent. It is a small town composed of mortals. All those who enter the town will be confused and act only according to their own heart. All items in the town are treasures.

How much you can bring out depends entirely on chance.

The young lady learned that there were three things in this town that were most suitable for her godsister.

A green peach, a purple harmonica, and a seven-leaf clover with seven colors.

Before giving up the qualification to my sister.

In order to ensure that her sister could get these three things from the "Land of Destiny", the young lady kept repeating these things to her sister for a whole year.

"Sister, I like to eat green peaches. If you see green peaches for sale one day, please buy one for me."

"Sister, I've fallen in love with the harmonica recently. It would be nice if I could have a purple harmonica."

"Wow, I saw a seven-leaf clover with seven colors at someone's doorstep. I want one too!"

I kept talking about it for a whole year.

Even he was tired of listening.

And the young lady's godsister always promised with certainty every time.

Just when the young lady thought that everything was ready and officially transferred the qualification to enter the "Land of Destiny" to her sister, it turned out that the woman did not get the green peach, the purple harmonica, or the colorful seven-leaf clover.

Instead, he took a jade ornament.

That incident made the young lady sad for a long time, mainly because her sister-in-law subconsciously didn't care about her at all, otherwise, after listening to her talking about it for so long, and seeing such a thing in the small town, wouldn't she have thought of bringing it back to her?

Just bring those three things out.

Such a great opportunity is enough to make that woman a famous figure in the Third Rank Continent in the future.

"A place of destiny".

This is a top-level opportunity in the third-grade continent, and it was snatched by the head of the family personally. Logically speaking, such an existence would never appear in the vast continent if it were not for his own young lady.

It's just a pity
My little girl is the kind of person who feels aggrieved but won't say it out loud. Although she is a little sad that her godsister doesn't care about her at all, she still pretends nothing has happened and continues to go to the king with her sister every day.

until—

Chen Lu suddenly appeared, and the battle for the "throne" officially began!
Before Chen Yu entered the realm of refining emptiness, the young lady had advised her sister not to fight for the throne. The lower continents were not sure, but they knew very well that after obtaining the statues rewarded by the twelve milestone tasks, these statues could be used to improve the grade of the outer body in the future, which also corresponded to the grade of the combined killing moves.
Even though Chen Lu's external body was only of the first grade when it was created, with the bonus of the statue, it would reach the thirteenth grade.

No one can stop the vast continent.

However, the young lady's godsister was obviously too confident. On the surface, she agreed to her young lady's request as if she was coaxing a child, but secretly she took away the "Taotian throne" by herself.

These two things, plus all the things that happened afterwards.

The young lady became more and more disappointed with this godsister she had adopted. The emotions that she had been suppressing for a long time burst out completely, and she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears. Although he was the young lady's protector, he had always stayed with the young lady, and their relationship was like that of a grandfather and grandson.

"Miss."

The old man in white robes sighed and whispered, "Don't be sad. It's not worth being sad for someone who wants to die. The head of the family told me that they have found some clues about the "Fate of the Ghost". I believe that you will be able to return to Qitian Continent soon."

Although "immortal cancer" is difficult to treat, it is not incurable.

That day, a miracle doctor from the Fourth Rank Continent left behind a prescription, saying that if one could gather all these rare treasures, the eldest lady's life could be saved and great opportunities would also be brought to her.

The main ingredient of the recipe is——

A ray of "Yin Emperor's Luck".

Three strands of "Yin Hun's Luck" can be combined into one strand of "Yin Sheng's Luck", and three strands of "Yin Sheng's Luck" can be combined into one strand of Yin Emperor's Luck. Although the family has found clues to the "Yin Hun's Luck", it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to collect all nine strands.

What's more, it's just a clue and there is no substantial progress.
