Chapter 790: Immortality
After several years of getting along, the two of them have turned from strangers into acquaintances.
"I don't know, but it won't be more than half a year at most."
After several years of precipitation, Mu Jianyu's aura has become much more solidified, but Shouyuan's decline is irreversible. Her lifespan was coming to an end long before borrowing the ancient name. After being here for so long, her life had already entered a countdown.
Although he had broken through to the realm of returning to the void, Mu Jianyu was not practicing the Immortal Way, but the Corpse Immortal Way.
Breakthroughs in the Corpse Immortal Way will not increase longevity.
"I will help you find the ancient sword sect's reincarnation method before this time." Chen Luo summoned the life-borrowing Gu and replenished Mu Jianyu's status.
However, this approach can only provide a temporary relief.
Life-borrowing Gu is not Immortality Gu. All the life spans it possesses are 'borrowed', and there is no way to fundamentally change the life span of the practitioner.
"I'm going to go back and take a look."
A smile appeared on Mu Jianyu's face. After living for so long, she has looked past many things. Now that the Qionghua Sect has returned to its peak, with Chen Luo, the Taixu Sword Master, she no longer has to worry about the subsequent Qionghua Sect.
"I've been busy for so long, and I want to take a good rest in the last moment. There are some things I want to tell my senior brother in person, and I won't be with you anymore."
Mu Jianyu took off the storage bag and placed it in front of Chen Luo.
"I saved these spiritual stones here. It would be a waste to keep them, so I gave them to you as a gift. It is a reward for protecting the Qionghua Sect."
After speaking, he turned around and without waiting for Chen Luo's response, he waved to himself and disappeared at the end of the long street.
The setting sun shines and the reflection is picturesque.
Chen Luo stood there for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Mu Jianyu was different from everyone Chen Luo had known before. She had a sense of freedom and ease that no one else had, and she also had a decisiveness that was unique to sword cultivators. Compared to a 'practical' sword cultivator like Zi Tianji, Mu Jianyu is more like an ancient sword cultivator.
She has her own persistence in her heart, which has never changed.
Open the storage bag.
There are more than two hundred high-grade spirit stones in it, as well as some kendo techniques. The 'kendo experience' that Chen Luo gave her before is also in it. Chen Luo saw some new handwriting on this experience, all written by Mu. Jian Yu wrote it on the back.
"Just take it back and put it in the library at Taixu Peak."
After putting his experience into the cave gourd, Chen Luo turned and returned to the alchemy room.
Unlike Mu Jianyu and the others, Chen Luo had a cave gourd on his body. This Evergreen Immortal Emperor's wine gourd can help him bring back the things of this era. They won't be like Mu Jianyu and the others, who can't bring anything over and can't take anything back.
‘Borrow’ the Tao to come, and ‘return’ the Tao to leave.
Leave no trace.
The calamity of plague beasts expanded again. These strange monsters that were originally at the level of returning to the virtual world, after killing a large number of immortal cultivators, completely grew into unkillable monsters. The Immortal Alliance was defeated in a battle with the Plague Beast, and the spheres of influence of the Chunyang Immortal Sect and the Ancient Sword Sect shrank again.
The barren land where the Daxue Mountain is located was also occupied by plague beasts, and the surviving immortal cultivators evacuated again.
At this point, nearly half of the realm of cultivating immortals has been occupied by plague beasts. The remaining cultivators fled to the other side of the world of cultivating immortals and began to think about their retreat. Several sects, second only to the Shangjiu Sect, began to join forces to set up the Juetian Formation and use the formation to divide the spiritual realm. There are also people who abandoned their current family wealth and fled to the spiritual realm that was defeated by Yang Wusheng and Kun Wu, and became monks in the lower world.
"This era is over."
Yang Wusheng and Kun Wu stood on the edge of the cliff, with the sea of clouds billowing below, lifting the corners of their clothes. These two enemies, who had fought to the death before, were now chatting at the edge of the spiritual realm like old friends. He looked down at the immortal cultivators below with indifferent eyes.
"Isn't this already destined?"
Yang Wusheng's face was expressionless, and his eyes were like dead water.
"Everything comes around again and again, everything is destined."
The two of them chatted about the biggest secret in the world. Except for the Shangjiu Sect, there are very few forces in the world of immortality that have been inherited for more than ten thousand years. Even among the demon clan, it is rare to see ten thousand year old demons.
For ten thousand years, it has been a taboo in this world of immortality.
Only the monks from the Shangjiu Sect and the Immortal Clan have crossed this threshold.
"Is there something wrong with your Chunyang Immortal Sect's immortal weapon?" Kunwu suddenly asked.
"Nonsense."
Yang Wusheng didn't even move his eyelids.
"The sixth generation ancestor wakes up, tsk tsk, this was not part of the plan. People like them will pay a huge price every time they wake up, I know this." Kunwu said happily. From his face, there was no trace of his previous 'severely injured reincarnation'.
Everything is external rhetoric.
"You should still worry about your 'ancient sword'."
Yang Wusheng left a word, turned around and left the sea of clouds. Kunwu was left standing alone, his eyes flickering as he watched him leave, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ten years later.
The plague beast occupies most of the world of cultivating immortals, and its strength has grown to the middle stage of Hedao. With its immortality, even the strong men of the Shangjiu Sect holding immortal weapons can't do anything to him. So far, the Immortal Alliance has completely failed. The surviving cultivators began to flee, some fled to the lower world, and some divided their spiritual realms and fled to the edge of the world of cultivating immortals.
Chen Luo is still refining alchemy.
Under the infiltration of the clone's multiple methods, he finally found out the secrets related to the immortal weapon, which is also the biggest secret of this era.
The reincarnation method of the Nine Sects!
A long time ago, Chen Luo heard from the Sun, Moon and Star Three Ancestors of the Qunxing Sect that the upper limit of the reincarnation method is three times. No one has ever succeeded in the fourth time. Only the Upper Nine Sect, which has mastered the immortal weapon, can break this limit. It is precisely because of this rumor that the Sun, Moon and Star Three Ancestors started the "Immortal Weapon Plan", which gave Chen Luo the semi-immortal weapon hammer in his hand.
But after really contacting it, Chen Luo found that the reincarnation method of the Upper Nine Sect was not as mysterious as he imagined. In short, there are three words.
Spirit transformation!
These old monsters of the Upper Nine Sect placed their souls in the immortal weapon and turned themselves into the spirit of the immortal weapon. In this way, they can achieve another kind of immortality. There is a benefit of doing so, which is to bind themselves to the immortal weapon. If the immortal weapon is not destroyed, the soul will not disappear.
But everything has its pros and cons.
Although this method of the Upper Nine Sect has solved the problem of reincarnation to a certain extent, it has created a new problem.
That is the extinction of the soul.
The power of immortal weapons cannot be compared with that of ordinary weapons. If the soul is placed in an immortal weapon, it may be fine for one or two years, but it will inevitably be affected over time. The most intuitive manifestation is the erosion of memory and the dissipation of human nature.
The longer the time of spiritualization of the weapon, the less human nature will be.
In order to solve this problem, the old monsters of the Upper Nine Sects can only delay it by sleeping and sealing. But even so, they have not been able to obtain true immortality and cannot live out the tenth life.
The nine lives seem to be their limit.
The power of immortal weapons is not eternal. The more spirit weapons are carried, the greater the consumption of immortal weapons. The upper nine sects strictly control the number of reincarnations because of this. This time, the Chunyang Bell of the Chunyang Immortal Sect had an accident because the carrying capacity of the immortal weapon reached the upper limit and needed more immortal spirit energy to replenish it.
The battle between the two sects also came from this.
Chen Luo had tried to "spiritualize the weapon" a long time ago.
At that time, he avoided the virtual and real restrictions of the legendary world through the method of spiritualization of the weapon in the legendary world and successfully sneaked into the demon clan. But he never expected that this Ouyang Lian's 'original' weapon spirit transformation secret technique was mastered by the Upper Nine Sects as early as 8,000 years ago, and they also used it as a foundation to create their own 'reincarnation method'.
"Is this considered immortality?"
Looking at the reincarnation method in his hand, Chen Luo was very disappointed.
The three brothers in the external brain were full of disgust, especially the elder brother Changqing and the second brother Zhao Qi. Both of them were 'immortals' who crossed the threshold of immortals and mortals in their lifetime, and they naturally looked down on this kind of 'trick' method.
"The immortal path of this era is also a detour!"
Chen Luo came to the conclusion.
The spiritual fire of the alchemy furnace next to him gradually faded, and the puppet skillfully turned off the fire and opened the furnace, and took out a black pill from it.
Qiu Shui Dan.
Chen Luo had tested it three years ago.
The materials contributed by the Dragon King were not wasted, and it provided Chen Luo with a lot of experience in alchemy. Through countless failures, Chen Luo has accumulated rich experience, and the effect is surprisingly good when combined with more than a hundred alchemists in the external brain.
With such a rich "failure experience", it is expected that he can refine the Autumn Water Pill.
Thinking of the Dragon King, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh.
'What a simple person. '
He remembered that the Dragon King invited him to go to the 'despicable human cultivator' together, and the 'Snow Mountain Ancestor' even took the deposit. Unexpectedly, the person 'died' in a blink of an eye. It can only be said that cooperation is risky, and looking for a partner must be as reliable as him.
The extreme north spiritual domain of the cultivation world.
The Dragon King and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox and several other old demons gathered together to discuss the plan to divide the spiritual domain.
Suddenly, as if they had a telepathic connection, the Dragon King turned around and looked behind.
"What's going on?"
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox next to him frowned.
She was talking about the major event concerning the survival of the entire demon race, but the initiator, the Jiaolong King, was distracted, which made her very dissatisfied. She knew the current situation of the cultivation world better than anyone else. Unlike the upper nine sects that hold immortal tools, if their demon race wants to survive, they must make a decision early. Divide the spiritual realm in advance before the plague beasts wreak havoc.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of a dog thief."
The Jiaolong King retracted his gaze and closed his eyes again.
In his heart, he silently cursed a guy who had cheated him of countless spiritual materials.
"I told you a long time ago that the guy had a problem, but you still didn't believe it."
The pig demon next to him said gloatingly.
He had heard that the Jiaolong King had been cheated of all his savings. He heard that this guy gave all the spiritual medicines he had accumulated for thousands of years to the liar. The other party ate all these spiritual medicines and refined a lot of messy poison pills for him. His subordinate Crab General became dumb after eating this poison pill.
"Shut up!"
The veins on the dragon king's forehead bulged, and anyone could see that he was in a bad mood.
Hey!
The pig demon was not angry either, he laughed and sat back to his original position, and continued to discuss the escape plan.
