A life of clearness

Chapter 202: Longevity Banquet

Rong Qing has wanted to ask this question for a long time.

In this place where powerful people are everywhere, this issue is of vital importance and the most practical.

Those without strength are just cannon fodder. If there is any trouble at the banquet, there is no way to escape.

"You... will protect me, right?" Rong Qing asked cautiously.

Thinking back to her previous attitude towards Chu Yuan, which was not very good, Rong Qing suddenly realized that this nephew might actually be the real boss. Now she really regretted it.

If I had known this earlier, I would have increased my favorability more instead of cramming at the last minute and gambling with my master's friendship.

"Of course." There was no mockery in Chu Yuan's eyes. He rarely showed emotions. "I will protect my uncle."

There was no excitement, except that Yuan Yuan's tone was as simple as saying that the flower was blooming well. But Rong Qing knew that he would keep his promise.

This is true for all the disciples of the Ji Ming Sword Master family.

They dare to make promises because they rely on themselves.

Chu Yuan understood what Rong Qing was worried about, so he continued.

"After breaking through the Spiritualization Realm, there are the Void-Holding Realm and the Void-Holding Realm. These two realms are called together because when one reaches these realms, both the soul and the body will undergo changes. In the Void-Holding Realm, the body will transform into Void. In the Void-Holding Realm, the soul will transform into Void. Most cultivators transform their bodies into Void first, and then their souls. Therefore, cultivators in the Void-Holding Realm are stronger than cultivators in the Spiritualization Realm."

"It is not the end of cultivation to the second level of Zhixu. Because their understanding of the Tao is not complete. Only by running through the beginning and end of the Tao and completely understanding the origin of the Tao of cultivation can they reach the ultimate realm. The cultivators who can do this are called Tao masters."

"It is extremely difficult to become a Dao Master. So before that, there is a stage similar to half a step to becoming a god, called the Decline Tribulation. During the Decline Tribulation period, one will suffer a total of five tribulations, and only after completely overcoming them can one become the Ultimate."

Rong Qing was deeply shocked by these few short sentences.

She is still planning for her spiritual transformation, but Chu Yuan has revealed to her that there are still countless mountains to climb in her future, each one higher than the last.

"Then..." Rong Qing asked hesitantly, "What about the ultimate and above?"

"The next step forward is immortality. You will be qualified to open up a new realm and be above all other cultivators."

"Eternal Life..." Rong Qing finally understood what the Lord of Eternal Life mentioned in the previous casual conversation meant. It turned out that he was the most powerful being in the cultivation world. No wonder he could open up a realm that spanned the heavens and the worlds. "Has it really been freed from the shackles of life span after reaching this realm?"

She had listened to the discussion on the Inscriptionless Monument and it was obvious that the powerful people still had doubts and debates about the issue of immortality.

"Living as long as the heaven and earth can be considered immortality." Chu Yuan replied calmly. "But they won't be satisfied even if they reach this point. They still want to live forever."

Yes, immortality.

As lifespan is extended, people will of course have other pursuits, such as becoming immortal. Even if they reach the realm of immortality, there will be almost no one who can kill them.

"Did they find a way?"

"No." Chu Yuan shook his head. "This banquet is called the Longevity Banquet. It invites the top monks from the past, present, and distant future to discuss this issue together."

"So the fact proves that this question has no result?" Rong Qing thought, aren't she and Chu Yuan from the future?

"We did discuss and came up with a few methods. With the power of the Immortal Lord, it is not difficult to verify their hypothesis. But the facts prove that they have not succeeded at our time. Otherwise, the heavens and myriad worlds would have been unified long ago."

Yes. If any immortal master really obtained the ability of immortality, would he not take action against other lords?

Don't talk about being detached from the world. Cultivators are not the heartless and desireless heaven. Even the most powerful cultivators cannot completely break away from human nature.

"...No matter what, I will be able to meet so many Taoist masters and even immortal masters tomorrow." With Rong Qing's cultivation level, she is really lucky.

"Are you the Taoist master?" The more Rong Qing thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Qiu Sang must be very powerful to be able to be a disciple of Taoist Li Tao. He just suppressed his own pressure so that Rong Qing, a little guy with low cultivation level, would not feel uncomfortable. With his eyes, it was impossible for him not to see that Rong Qing had not even reached the level of transformation. But he still brought Rong Qing and the others into the inner city.

You must know that the declining disaster does not even have the qualifications to enter the inner city.

Although the identity of the future destined person can have special treatment, it is not so special that he can directly live in the Snow Tempering Court. Obviously, he also has strength to rely on.

Apart from Rong Qing, the next one is Chu Yuan.

"I guess so." Chu Yuan replied.

Rong Qing pursed her lips, regretting her decision a thousand times.

Especially when I think about it, according to the order of the illusion, after several illusions in the future, it is very likely that I will practice with it again...

Rong Qing's expression became unpredictable.

"Oh, that's not right." Rong Qing suddenly remembered something, "Aren't you still not a god yet?"

This was also one of the reasons why Rong Qing bullied Chu Yuan without any burden. Rong Qing saw Chu Yuan's progress in cultivation. The Sword Masters Chongyu and Chongji would not lie to her on this point. They both said that Chu Yuan had not yet become a god.

"At this moment and in this place, I am indeed as powerful as the Taoist master." Chu Yuan shook his head slowly, unwilling to say more, and said, "What's more... we are not the protagonists tomorrow."

"Ok?"

"The Quexueting Longevity Banquet lasted for nine days in total. Tomorrow is the first day, and a major event will happen. This event has far-reaching impacts, and it will continue to have such an impact until our time."

"It's not related to the guy next door to us, is it?"

Rong Qing was not stupid, and immediately thought of why Chu Yuan had specified that he would live in the same courtyard with the cultivators of the Great Creation Realm. Chu Yuan, who came from the future, obviously knew a lot about the major events that had happened in the past in the heavens and all realms. This meant that he knew who was worth making friends with.

Chu Yuan nodded.

Rong Qing immediately asked excitedly, "What did he do?"

What kind of thing could be so famous that it can be passed down through the ages?

"You will know at the banquet tomorrow."

Tsk! Don’t keep us in suspense like this.

"What about now? Shall we go visit the senior next door?" Rong Qing looked at Chu Yuan. It's impossible for him to just live next door and do nothing.

"No need." Chu Yuan lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting an arc-shaped shadow like butterfly wings. The soft light from the pearl candlestick on the table made him look even more beautiful.

"When I brought my uncle in, the aura was already spreading. He knew that we were the ones living next door."

"We have conveyed our attitude to him. This is just the first step. And at the banquet tomorrow, we will do him a favor. That is the most crucial step. By then, he will naturally understand who he can cooperate with in the future."

"Wait a minute," Rong Qing raised her hand, "We? Do I count as one?"

"Of course." Chu Yuan looked at Rong Qing, "We are here to represent the Sword Sect."
