Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Chapter 174 The Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Being

Zhao Mu communicated with the nine-color glass lamp and appeared in the illusory scene again.

But this time, he no longer paid attention to the fight between the monks, but adjusted his mind and slowly released his desires.

He wants to use his own desires to get the recognition of the nine-colored glass lamp, and then let this treasure recognize its owner.

The criterion for choosing the owner of the nine-color glass lamp is to judge whether his desires are pure.

Zhao Mu's desire is actually the same as that of most monks, which is to become an immortal and transcend this world.

But his desire is purer than 99% of monks.

Because... he can clearly see the end point.

Just like ordinary mortals, they all want to make a career of their own.

But most people cannot see a clear future at all, so whenever they encounter some setbacks, they may give up.

Either change to another path, or simply give up on yourself, no longer having the motivation to fight.

Being confused about the future destination is the biggest obstacle to a career.

But if it were a reborn person, it would be completely different.

Because the future is extremely clear to him, he clearly knows that if he follows the established route, he will definitely reach the desired end point.

Therefore, he is not confused. Even if he encounters any setbacks, he has the firm belief to get through it.

The same goes for Zhao Mu.

Other monks have limited longevity, and even if they are extremely talented, they are not sure that they will be able to become immortals in the future.

Therefore, many people lose their way midway through cultivation and choose opportunistic ways to speed up their cultivation, but in the end they pay a heavy price.

Some monks simply gave up on becoming immortals.

For example, Chi Yunzi, the national master of the Jin Dynasty.

Because his life span was about to come to an end, Chi Yunzi simply gave up his path to immortality and became a national master in a mortal country, spending his last days enjoying wealth and glory.

Therefore, these people's desire to become immortal is not pure enough.

But Zhao Mu is different.

Zhao Mu has an endless lifespan. His cultivation talent may not be high enough, but he absolutely believes that one day he will be able to attain enlightenment and become an immortal.

Because endless lifespan means infinite possibilities.

He knows that he has countless opportunities for trial and error, so his future goals are naturally extremely clear and will never waver.

Because of this, his desire to become an immortal is naturally extremely pure, surpassing the vast majority of immortal cultivators in the world.

This also made Zhao Mu believe that he would be able to make the nine-color glass lamp recognize its owner and become the owner of this powerful treasure.

It's just like what monk Jie Chi said, the nine-color glazed lamp is too powerful.

Even if a method has been found, with Zhao Mu's cultivation level, if he wants to completely refine it for his own use, the time it will take will be calculated in years.

Time continues to pass day by day.

Soon, another fifteen years passed.

As for Zhao Mu, another hundred and fifty years have passed.

On this day, his life finally came to an end again.

The Jie Chi monk who was practicing slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhao Mu, who had white hair, wrinkles on his face, and was extremely old.

"Haha, this day has finally come."

Monk Jie Chi chuckled and said, "Calf nose, you are finally facing death. How do you feel in your heart? Tell me, Lord Buddha?"

Zhao Mu glanced at him: "Why, are you curious about death? If you really want to know, why not die yourself?"

"Hmph, it's already here and you're still so stubborn."

Monk Jie Chi snorted coldly: "The five declines of heaven and man will come soon, and the poor monk will be here to watch you die. When the time comes, the treasure that you cannot recognize as its owner will belong to the poor monk, hahaha!"

"Haha, really? Then just wait slowly."

Zhao Mu didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and closed his eyes again as he spoke.

He has experienced the end of life more than once.

But in the past, it was the death of mortals, and this was the first time he experienced the death of a cultivator, so he was very curious.

He really wanted to experience what the legendary Five Decline of Heaven and Man was all about?

The so-called five declines of heaven and man actually refer to the five signs of decline in life.

This kind of sign usually only appears in mortals.

Because immortal cultivators have already cultivated their magic power and transcended the mortal life level, as long as they have not reached the end of their lives, they will not show signs of decline.

Time passed little by little, and about two more hours passed.

At a certain moment, dirt and dust suddenly appeared on Zhao Mu's skin.

Because the body of a cultivator is filled with mana, usually there will be absolutely no dirt or dust on the surface of the body.

Their skin is always clean and dust-free, which is also a good omen for gods and humans that distinguishes them from mortals;

After the dirt and dust, the yin and yang and the five elements in Zhao Mu's body were also out of balance.

Without the stable flow of yin and yang and the five elements, Zhao Mu's body immediately began to fall into chaos. This is the second decline among the five declines of heaven and man - imbalance of yin and yang;

After that, diseases began to appear in Zhao Mu.

He began to cough continuously, coughing up blood from his mouth, sores began to appear on his body, his breath weakened, and illnesses came one after another;

When the damage caused by the illness reached its extreme, the vitality in Zhao Mu's body began to decline rapidly, and his whole body began to be shrouded in death energy, looking more and more like a dilapidated corpse;

Finally, Zhao Mu's luck began to fail, and all kinds of bad luck, foul air, evil spirits, and evil spirits emerged from the void and invaded his body.

His body was stained with dirt!

The imbalance of yin and yang!

He was plagued by diseases!

His vitality was extinguished!

His luck dried up!

The signs of the five decays of heaven and man appeared on Zhao Mu one by one.

Finally, at a certain moment, Zhao Mu suddenly stiffened all over, and then slowly collapsed there.

"Is he finally dead?"

Monk Jie Chi sneered sarcastically: "Humph, a mere cultivator of the Palace of Life Realm dared to fight with this poor monk. This is your fate."

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the nine-color glass lamp above the round table: "I don't know what kind of treasure this is? It doesn't matter, you will be mine soon, and there is plenty of time to study."

He smiled and prepared to continue practicing.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a huge vitality rising from the side.

The vigor of that vitality was simply the only one he had ever seen in his life.

"What's going on?"

Monk Jie Chi was shocked and looked in the direction of the vitality. His eyes almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Mu, who had clearly died just now, was recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The dried up luck rose rapidly!

The extinguished vitality was surging like the sea!

All kinds of symptoms also subsided rapidly!

The yin and yang and the five elements were restored to balance!

And the dirt on Zhao Mu's body was shattered by the powerful magic power in the blink of an eye and disappeared!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Zhao Mu turned from a white-haired old man into a young man full of vitality.

Suddenly, Zhao Mu slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Monk Jie Chi: "Old bald donkey, a new life, we meet again."
