Seeking Immortals

In the chaotic land of the years, cultivators are discussing frantically about 'immortals' and 'ghosts' and putting forward their own opinions, but the final conclusion is very unified. No matter what, the immortal legacy has to face one of them head-on.

Both immortals and ghosts will destroy immortal beings. This is the ultimate verification of the two divination prophecies in the Year of the Turtle.

"How about throwing the Hell and the Prison into the chaotic land of time, where the time will stand still, or it may be delayed for a longer time." Yang Huiying said in a condensed voice.

The 'ghost' smiled and said: "It's useless. The ancestor spirit is me, and I am the ancestor spirit. The life span of the ancestor spirit is also my life span. When the ancestor spirit returns, it will only merge with me."

"My body inherently contains time, and time cannot be confused."

"You might as well try throwing the ancestral spirits into the chaotic place of time in the 'immortal'..."

After saying that, the 'ghost' walked towards the central area of ​​​​the chaos of time. There was a black box in the center, which was the body of the 'ghost'. The 'ghost' obviously had no intention of handing the black box to Li Qing.

"What should we do now?" Guinian frowned and asked, knowing everything that needs to be understood. The final answer lies in another place of chaos.

"Go over there and have a look." someone replied.

Next, the cultivators went to another place of chaos to investigate, but found nothing new and the 'immortal' did not appear.

Li Qing returned to Immortal Heritage. He had many clues in his mind. After the conversation with the ghost, these clues came together.

"In fact, I have probably understood the truth." Li Qing sighed leisurely. It was useless to understand the truth. He had to defeat the last 'immortal'.

At this time, as the information about "immortals" and "ghosts" spread about the immortal relics, monks from all over the world also started relevant discussions, trying to find more clues.

The cultivators discussed the true nature of "immortals" and "ghosts".

Some people say that immortals and ghosts are the embodiment of the will of heaven and earth.

It is also said that immortals and ghosts are the incarnations of the Dao, and they are creatures of the Dao who have developed spiritual wisdom and want to enslave the world.

Some people even boldly said: "Perhaps immortals and ghosts are competing for the next immortal realm. This realm is above the Immortal Immortal. You have to take the lives of all living beings to break through. Whoever wins will be able to transcend the Immortal Immortal and achieve eternity!"

"Strictly speaking, immortals only live as long as the sky, but the sky will also perish. This is not true immortality. True immortality is the eternity of time!"

The immortal legacy spent another five thousand years amid this endless debate.

"Master, these are the speculations of monks from all over the world about immortals and ghosts." Yang Huiying found Li Qing and handed over the results of five thousand years of discussion.

Li Qing glanced at it but didn't look much further.

Yang Huiying asked: "Is there any realm beyond Immortal Immortal?"

"No, the realm of the Immortal Immortal has been fixed, and he has the same life span as heaven. After entering this realm, the pursuit of Tao has stopped." Li Qing said leisurely: "But above the Tao Immortal Realm of the True Immortal Queen, there are There is a way to find it.”

After jumping out of the avenue, Li Qing's lifespan on the monument was fixed at one million years.

This is not to say that Li Qing can only live for one million years. This is just the upper limit recorded in the Centennial Monument. It is difficult to estimate how long he can live, but he may live for hundreds of millions of years.

After talking to the 'ghost', Li Qing had a feeling that even if he lived for endless years, he would eventually reach the end of the years.

"Then Master is begging?" Yang Huiying asked again.

Li Qing did not answer directly, but instead took a step forward and appeared on the long river of time with Yang Huiying. He said: "There are ends at both ends of the long river of time. A long river of time has a beginning and an end."

"All living things live within the long river of time."

"Eternal life is just eternal life within the passage of time."

"The Immortal Relics only represent the thirty-third heaven, and cannot represent all the chaotic void."

"But the long river of time has enveloped the chaotic void. It contains everything. There was no history before the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, but the chaotic void before the Immortal Legacy still has years."

…

Yang Huiying has long understood the origin of Immortal Relics. Immortal Relics are bred from thirty-three world seeds with roots.

Yang Huiying was surprised: "Is there a similar world of immortal relics in the chaotic void?"

"Not now. It's hard to say in the past. In the future, there may be a new world of Immortal Relics, which may even be bigger and stronger than Immortal Relics." Li Qing's eyes were leisurely.

Yang Huiying roughly understood Li Qing's words and said in a serious voice: "The next step in the Taoist Immortal Realm should be to jump out of the long river of time and achieve ultimate eternity!"

Li Qing nodded: "This is the path I am trying to take. Others' paths may not necessarily be this way. It is generally called the eternity of time, and it is always correct."

At this time, Yang Huiying also saw the footprints and bloodstains on the river of time, and said in surprise: "Blood will not change in the river of time, and footprints will be visible in the river of time. Isn't this a sign of eternal time?"

"The ultimate immortals and ghosts are obviously not in the category of Dao Immortal Realm or Immortal Immortal. Their time has lasted forever. Could it be that the blood stains and footprints were left by immortals and ghosts respectively?"

"Or maybe they haven't achieved eternity yet, they're half a step away, and now they're fighting for the last step?"

Li Qing shook his head, as if to say that Yang Huiying's views were all wrong.

"How is the progress of master's practice?" Yang Huiying asked with concern.

Li Qing whispered: "There is no end in sight. There seems to be a road ahead but there is no way ahead. Taking a step out of the long river of time seems to exist and yet not exist."

Yang Huiying said with a smile: "Master's path is unprecedented and will never be followed. Even if you don't take that step now, you can still solve the problem of immortals or ghosts."

"Master's Dao Immortal Realm is at the very top, and he will surely be able to conquer it!"

"Maybe." Li Qing chuckled.

After returning from the long river of time, Li Qing held an Immortality Dharma Conference and invited the Immortal Immortal and the True Immortal with profound knowledge to discuss the Tao.

Li Qing will clarify the path he has traveled one by one, and discuss with the cultivators the possibility of jumping out of the long river of time.

Turtle Nian brought the back-pushing picture he painted in the past and said: "I have a memory. Although I can't remember it now, it is still reflected in the back-pushing picture."

"His words are, 'I saw a glimpse of the future, which is full of darkness. The future of the fairy world is unknown. Only by understanding the past and present can we have a chance to jump out of the river of time and survive alone'."

"Looking at it now, this just proves what Fellow Daoist Lin was thinking."

"If Fellow Daoist Lin wants to take that step, the key lies in the ancient and modern ways!"

Ancient and modern ways... Li Qing's eyes turned to the past, and his thoughts were endless. Although he jumped out of the great way, he could still use the great way, and the ancient and modern ways were available.

Wutian said: "There are two ways to jump out of the long river of time. One is to jump out of the water like a fish in the water, and the other is to build a bridge of time, cross the river, and step through the years."

Zhu Xiu's words, my words, provide Li Qing with different insights. Since Zhu Xiu has not personally taken the step of jumping out of the great road, he cannot cover everything.

But after brainstorming, some of Zhu Xiu's insights were of great help to Li Qing.

After the Hundred Years Dharma Conference, Li Qing entered deep retreat and tried to find a way to escape from the long river of time.

It was less than 30,000 years before the death of ghosts and the arrival of immortals. This time was not enough for Li Qing to take a further step.

Li Qing will probably have to face the ultimate "immortal" when he jumps out of the avenue, but he is always trying. No matter how big the enemy is in front of him, his original intention is to achieve true immortality.

Li Qing seeks a breakthrough not to fight against the ‘immortal’, but to seek true immortality.

Five thousand years later, Li Qing looked back on his breakthrough in enlightenment when he dominated the Great Way and jumped out of the Great Way, and had an epiphany: "There is no absolute perfection in the world. The Great Way has its shortcomings, and the years should also have their shortcomings."

"Grassing the gaps in time may help me escape from the years. Among all the ways, the one most closely related to the years is the ancient and modern ways."

"Is the way of ancient and modern times just a matter of time?"

"Then how can we take advantage of the gap between ancient and modern ways and jump out of time..."

Li Qing kept trying, but all failed. Now he can walk on the long river of time. It seems that he is not limited by time, but in fact, it is not the case. He has truly jumped out of time and can look at the long river of time as a whole from another dimension.

Such as Da Dao, in Li Qing's current sight, it is completely different.

…

As Li Qing realizes his future, he takes the gap of time as a breakthrough. He sometimes walks into the long river of time and swims in the river.

He gained many new understandings, but never made critical progress beyond the years.

The idea of ​​​​jumping out of the avenue cannot be completely copied from jumping out of the years.

Before jumping out of the Great Dao, Li Qing had a lot of accumulation, such as Dao Zunren, Freedom Dao Fruit, Dominance of Nine Daos, and Dominance of Ten Thousand Daos. When he jumped out of the years, these accumulations were difficult to refer to.

He couldn't let time respect him...

All over the Immortal Relics, they are also stepping up preparations for the arrival of the final ‘immortal’. Of course, the Immortal Relics creatures know that they actually have no effect, and this is destined to be Li Qing’s battle alone.

All souls do not want time to pass by, but the flow of time is unstoppable.

Spring passed and autumn came, and another twenty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Ancient Ancestor Ming and Ancient Ancestor Prison were growing old. On this day, Ming and Prison finally came to the end of their years, and they were completely dead.

"Hey, I really failed." A sigh came from the chaotic place of time where the black box is located: "It turns out that my real name is not ghost, and I actually don't have a name either..."

As the 'ghosts' dissipated, this land of chaos fell into eternal silence. The long river of time disappeared, and there were no more chaotic years.

At the moment when the 'ghost' disappeared, all the polluted ancestral veins in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Legacy realized a great recovery at the same time, became full of vitality, and were automatically purifying the pollution.

The fog of Guixu at the end of the Sixth Yin Period is also dispersing.

"My lifespan!" Alien tribes from all over the world grew old overnight, their lifespans dried up, and they faced the disaster of annihilation.

But now in another place where the years are chaotic, the sound of Tao rises loudly, the still years return to their normal flow speed, and the darkness that swallows everything disperses, revealing a magnificent palace.

Below the palace, the water is gurgling, which is the long river of time.

If Li Qing were here, he would see the big clue. After the darkness dissipates, a palace actually stands on the long river of time!

In the center of the palace, there was a bamboo couch. On the bamboo couch lay a creature riddled with holes. Blood flowed from the creature's body and dripped onto the river of time, becoming an indelible bloodstain of time.

The physical body of the creature is recovering at an extremely slow speed.

"You...you're awake!" Outside the palace, Liu Sanbian's movements were stiff, and his body was still in the chaos of the years.

"I'm awake." The scarred creature stood up and said with a long look, "I will be punished in the year of the turtle, but thanks to you, otherwise, it won't be me who wakes up at this moment."
