Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 746 Seeking Immortality for a Hundred Years
A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

The vast primordial continent seemed to be the beginning of everything, eternally unchanging.

Time leaves no trace on it, not even for hundreds of years, let alone thousands or tens of thousands of years.

The mortal beings on the primordial continent came and went in a hurry in the long, seemingly infinite river of time.

For them, if they cannot become immortals, everything is in vain, and they can only wait for the moment when their lives end and leave with a heart full of regret.

The same applies to humans.

In the northern region, there is a place with a spiritual lake.

The two groups engaged in a fierce battle, vying for control of this sacred lake.

One side was mostly human, while the other side consisted of about a hundred bull demons.

"Will this work?" Qin Beisheng, having gathered all his grandmaster-level power, painstakingly slew a bull demon and looked at the person beside him.

“There is a wisp of immortal energy nurturing this place; it may be the opportunity to become an immortal. We cannot miss it,” Hua Chuyuan said in a deep voice.

The two were none other than the King of Miao and the King of Yun, who later traveled from Kyushu across the Tongtian Road to the Primordial Continent.

"But these bulls are so ferocious," Qin Beisheng hesitated.

"We have given up everything to come here, our purpose is to become immortals, and I am prepared to die for this," Hua Chuyuan said solemnly.

"I just think it was a bit too reckless. After all, whether this wisp of immortal energy can help us become immortals is another matter." Qin Beisheng looked at Hua Chuyuan and said this halfway, then stopped.

Qin Beisheng was naturally prepared to die, and there was no turning back for him.

On this primordial continent, if one cannot become an immortal, then one will perish in the pursuit of immortality.

They have been here for nearly a century!

A century of searching has yielded no results.

The ethereal mist in the lake right now is the only chance they've found to be connected with the divine.

Retreat at this point is indeed impossible.

Qin Beisheng could also see that Hua Chuyuan had long since disregarded life and death.

To become an immortal, one must fight when the time is right, and one must risk one's life!

"kill!"

A fierce glint appeared in Qin Beisheng's eyes as he drew his sword and charged back into the battle with Hua Chuyuan.

His nearly century-long journey in the quest for immortality had almost made him forget that he was once the king of countless humans, a being second only to the emperor.

Now, he and Hua Chuyuan are nothing more than desperate outlaws fighting for their lives at the bottom of the Primordial Continent.

In fact, compared to many ordinary people, it is already extremely difficult for them to live for more than a hundred years in their quest for immortality.

In the past century, they have not only reunited with each other, but also encountered other grandmasters from Kyushu who came here.

He also witnessed firsthand the deaths of some of the Grandmasters of Kyushu on the Primordial Continent.

To this day, they are still unsure whether any of the large number of martial arts masters who came from Kyushu have transcended tribulation and become immortals.

After a bloody battle, the bull demon was defeated and fled.

The human race, numbering several dozen, occupied the spirit lake, but they also paid a considerable price.

Of the original fifty-three people, only twenty or so remained after the deaths.

Hua Chuyuan and Qin Beisheng were both injured, but fortunately, their injuries were not fatal.

With their Grandmaster-level strength, they were the leaders of this group of human warriors.

The two arrived in the middle of the lake and finally saw the pure white lotus.

A mystical aura was rising from above!

Hua Chuyuan looked closely and saw that the source of the immortal energy was a lotus seedpod the size of half a fist.

"This is..." Qin Beisheng's eyes lit up, and his breathing became rapid.

"The legendary celestial fruit!"

The two searched for immortality for nearly a hundred years and also learned a little about the existence of immortal fruits in the world.

This is the key to becoming an immortal; it is extremely rare in the world!

Only by obtaining it can one become an immortal!

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Hua Chuyuan immediately used his Grandmaster-level power to retrieve it. However, uncertainties remained.

Suddenly, a water python burst out of the spirit lake, nearly swallowing the two of them whole.

Its tail carefully protected the lake lotus, and it did not pursue the two who had escaped.

"I will guard this immortal fruit; you mortals, get out of here!" the water python roared.

Qin Beisheng sighed softly; it wasn't that easy after all.

However, the water python concealed its presence very well, and they did not initially detect its existence.

If they hadn't remained vigilant and hadn't been blinded by euphoria, they might have already been someone else's meal.

Now, this water python is fully unleashing its aura, its power far surpassing that of those bull demons.

What follows will inevitably be another tough battle.

“You are nothing but a mortal spirit. We will certainly compete with you for this immortal fruit,” Hua Chuyuan said.

"court death!"

The water python used water to attack the group of ignorant mortals in front of it.

Another fierce battle ensued between the two sides.

As one soldier after another fell, the squad was eventually scattered.

The last dozen or so people, facing the invincible water serpent, chose to flee and scatter, unwilling to fight any longer.

"We are no match for it." Qin Beisheng landed far away, wounded, and looked at the water python that was still guarding the lake lotus and wouldn't leave. He felt helpless.

In their struggle for this celestial fruit, the reliable team they had painstakingly built was scattered.

Hua Chuyuan was the most unwilling of all.

"I have nothing left. If I cannot obtain this immortal fruit..." Hua Chuyuan gripped the sword in his hand, letting the blood drip from his body, enduring the pain, yet still unwilling to retreat.

The water python didn't care about Hua Chuyuan's covetousness; it only stared intently at the lotus in the lake.

The lotus seedpod on it is about to fully mature, and that will be the time for it to swallow the lotus seedpod and ascend to immortality!
"If we can't lure the tiger away from the mountain, then we'll use the tiger to devour the wolf," Hua Chuyuan said, taking a deep breath.

Qin Beisheng instantly understood Hua Chuyuan's idea: to bring in another powerful spirit to fight against the water python.

Only in this way can they have a chance to compete for that immortal fruit.

However, once this plan is implemented, it will inevitably be extremely dangerous.

Seeing Hua Chuyuan's firm and unwavering gaze, Qin Beisheng knew that the other party would not give up.

It's either become an immortal or die!

"Chu Yuan, I am not as good as you."

Just as Qin Beisheng was shaking his head inwardly, a golden divine fire suddenly descended from the sky, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply, and even the lake water seemed to be about to boil.

"What's going on!" Qin Beisheng was shocked to see the vegetation in the surrounding mountains and forests rapidly engulfed in flames.

"Where did that fire come from?!"

This sudden change disrupted the entire situation.

"Chu Yuan, we shouldn't stay here any longer!" Qin Beisheng sensed something was wrong.

The golden divine fire that was about to fall was like a dazzling sun falling, about to destroy the world.

Staying here any longer would likely mean certain death!

"How could this be!" The water python in the lake roared in resentment.

The roar was filled with boundless rage, mixed with a sense of fear.

"Why did the sun's fire have to fall into this place at this particular time?!"

"So close, so close!"

The python felt like it was being played by fate; it wanted to escape but couldn't bear to part with the magical fruit in the lake.

But it also knew very well that once the sun god's fire completely set, nothing would remain.

That solar fire will devour everything, including the unripe immortal fruit in the spirit lake.
